Black X100s

You guys might like this. :^}

I had the silver x100s and had to send it off to Fuji for service. I made the mistake of carrying it (in my hand) up a hill in the snow in Moab, and proceeded to slide down scuffing up the body a bit. Stupid.

Anyway, I got the Black X100s which I love, stealthy as it is. I decided to photograph my own version of the product shot with my Phase One system. For me the X100s is a fantastic companion camera to a Medium Format system. I use it to scout out locations, and do the family stuff, etc.

IF ONLY it had 720p/30 video, I would have bought one months ago. if a future edition comes out with this (as the X-E2 and the X-T1 do) then I will be first in the queue.

I believe the X100s only does 1080p at 30 or 60fps, and the X100 does 720p at 24fps.

I rented an X100s last May for a week and was hugely impressed. The release of a black version finally tipped me over the edge - I have one on order.

Douglas, I posted yesterday over at personal-view; I ran a sync test yesterday (cameras: X-E2, G6, GX-1; two recorders: Sony PCM-10, Zoom H2n); my X-E2 cannot maintain sync over a ten minute period.

All except the X-E2 are frame-accurate sync over 11'; the X-E2 was 15 frames late, sound and vision. I have posted on this problem on the X-Trans forum too; I noticed the sync had drifted in a shot YT clip I made last week. but yesterday I realised that I had assumed that the H2n had not drifted over that period—so I decided to test properly.

I do not understand how this kind of drift could have been missed by the engineers; I have work in film and video for 30 years, and anyone can see a three-frame out of sync problem in dialogue, and some can see a single frame.

I have my Fuji X bodies for sale on Fred's site, too, if anyone's interested. The X-E2 makes excellent stills, and has lovely ergonomics, but my work is 70% video these days so while I do not love any of the Panny bodies, I have to give them kudos for their excellent video.
