I read a comment over on The Online Photographer that the Fuji X100 will be perfect when it comes out, and then the X200 will be even better.
I had to laugh, because it's so true of all pre-release hype and camera marketing: this model is the best ever, superb, flawless - just like the one that it's replacing.
What interests me most is the built-in ND filter, a la Canon G-series. (Of course, that would be *really* useful in a camera that records video, but that's another matter.) But in terms of interface, for all of the justified excitement about the viewfinder, there are clearly some places that could be improved. But on the other hand, I don't think there's ever been a really well-designed digital camera, and from that starting place the X100 does look like an improvement.
