After making my reservation on the most highly anticipated camera of the year, I finally received my order in three weeks time. I couldn't be more happier!
1). The camera comes with a mysterious black box, which is abnormally large for a non-DSLR. The word "Finepix X100" is printed awesomely onto the box. Can't wait any longer to open the box!
2). Inside the box, there are two separate smaller boxes, I presume one is for the camera and another one for the accessories.
3). The first box to come out is a leather-like nicely finished box, with "Fujifilm" logo labelled on top of it.
4). Once opened up the box, you will find a polystyrene wrap around the camera, and a "X100" embedded on top of the box.
5). After opening the wrapper, the range-finder look-alike camera will appear sexily in front of you. The lens is covered with a metallic cap with "Fujifilm" wording.
6). (The Front View) After opening the lens cap, the Fujinon f/2 lens immediately popped out in front of the camera. The optical viewfinder is located on the top right of the camera; the built-in flash in the middle of the camera; a viewfinder switch leveler and AF illuminator on the left; and two microphones located inside the two black hallow dots.
7). (The Rear View) A large 2.8" LCD screen on the back of the camera; the optical viewfinder on the top left corner; playback and view mode selector on the left; while menu and quick access buttons on the right.
8). (The Side View) The Focus Selector is the left side of the camera, where you can select from manual focus, AF-S or AF-continuous. In manual focus mode, you can do so by just grabbing the focus ring at the front of the camera and rotating clockwise or anti-clockwise.
9). (The Side View) There are 2 connector ports on the right side of the camera. The upper one is a Micro USB to USB port connector, which allows you to transfer your photos to your computer; where as the lower one is the HDMI connector to any output source such as TV.
10) (The Top View) The upper part of the camera houses the Hotshoe at the middle; Shutter Speed selector, On-Off Button, Function Button and Exposure Compensation Button are located on the right side. The Aperture Ring and Focusing Ring located at the protruded lens.
11). (The Bottom View) The Battery and Memory Card Chamber is located at the bottom of the camera, as well as the Tripod Mount Connector.
12). The second black box from the packaging contains all the documentation and accessories.
13). The accessories included are (from left to right) Charger Cable, Camera Strap, Battery Charger, NP-95 Battery, Strap connector and Micro USB to USB port connector.
14). The documentation included are Warranty Booklet, Warranty Card (valid for one year international warranty, world wide service centre location, user manual and a CD-ROM for transferring photos and RAW file convertor.
Barely used it for 10 days or so, but from my limited usage I found the X100 is a pretty user friendly camera (if you have previously used a DSLR before). Once you got the hang of it, there's nothing to stop you from shooting at the street, which is what it did best. Just like what a popular reviewer said, "It's a camera you buy with a heart, not your head!"
