Steve Huff written a very informative review about fuifilm X100,
OK…this is the one that will cause X1 lovers to get mad at me if I say the X100 is better, and the Leica haters and X100 lovers to do the same if I say the X1 is better.
With that said, as much as I love the Leica X1 I have to give credit where credit is due. The Fujifilm X100 ROCKS and it ROCKS HARD. No, it is NOT perfect but neither is the Leica X1, or NEX-5, or E-P2, or Ricoh. What the X100 has is a combination of looks, size, performance and technology all wrapped up into one classic and sexy well built design. $1200? It’s priced right folks. Continue reading the review
Dan a Photo Rumor Reader was lucky to get Fujifilm X100, Read his FujiFilm FinePix X100 camera review:
The X100 is a blend of traditional photography shooting process and digital technology. The hybrid viewfinder makes the camera special, but it is this unique shooting experience that is unsurpassed. The camera isn’t without fault, but for me they’re not the faults that talked about in most reviews: the electronic framelines are the wrong size and manual focus is poor compared to a true manual focus rangefinder.

Fujifilm have married the best of the past, in the multitude of external controls, leaf-shutter, optical viewfinder and stunning appearance, with some cutting-edge features, most notably the hybrid optical / electronic viewfinder, which really is a revelation to use. The ability to frame your subject in not one, not two, but three different ways, each of which offers certain benefits and all housed within a compact body, makes the X100 incredibly versatile…
the Fuji X100 is a well-crafted camera with a range of useful functionality and excellent image quality. It’s only really let down by slow writing times and minor operation issues, but otherwise it truly delivers.
Conclusion of reviews posted on different websites
Photoradar.com(click here) the X100 is a well-crafted camera with a range of useful functionality and excellent image quality. It’s only really let down by slow writing times and minor operation issues, but otherwise it truly delivers.
photographyblog(click here) the X100 scores a bullseye in terms of the photos that it produces. Noise is noticeable only by its almost complete absence throughout the ISO range of 100-12,800, while the Dynamic Range function helps to boost contrast and detail. The 23mm lens is sharp from the center to the edges, while the F/2 maximum aperture makes it easy to creatively throw the background out of focus. The X100 is right up there with the best APS-C sensor cameras on the market.
ephotozine.com(click here) For a long time the difference in image quality between compact cameras with small sensors, and Digital SLRs with much larger sensors has been well known. The Fujifilm FinePix X100 aims to bring the image quality of a large sensor to a smaller camera, and should also bring the speed of DSLRs with it. Thankfully Fujifilm has delivered both excellent image quality with extremely low noise levels…

Hasselblad photographer Jeff Nalin captures official portraits of the three Scandinavian winners of the world-renowned Bocuse d’Or culinary „Olympics“ in Lyon, France.

Passion and creativity – two staples for gastronomy and photography – were in abundance at the 2011 Bocuse d’Or in Lyon, France this past January. Founded more than 20 years ago as an international stepping stone for talented young chefs, the Bocuse d’Or is named after its creator, renowned French chef and pioneer of modern French cuisine, Paul Bocuse.
For the first time, Hasselblad participated in this prestigious event with an on-site studio where chefs de cuisine photographer Jeff Nalin used a Hasselblad H4D-40 camera to capture official portraits of the three winners. Uwe Moebus, Managing Director, Hasselblad France and Hasselblad Germany remarked that “Hasselblad is proud to be an official supplier of the Bocuse d’Or 2011. We enjoyed working with our Lyon area partner Carré Couleur and Jeff Nalin, one of the most respected photographers of the high end culinary scene. We are honored that Nalin, who has made portraits of the most famous chefs de cuisine for his book, ‘Scenes deux Chefs’, uses a Hasselblad camera to capture his exceptional images.” The cooperation between Bocuse d’Or, Hasselblad and Nalin will continue in the future, as the photographer will capture portraits at national and continental events.
With 2400 seats filled to capacity, the audience cheered on their national teams, adding another level of excitement to this legendary competition. Chefs who prepare for the contest months in advance, have 5 hours and 35 minutes to create a fish dish and a meat dish representing the gastronomic culture of his or her country using the official products of the Bocuse d’Or – with only a single assistant. Moebus also commented, “I was very impressed by the significance of the Bocuse d’Or, the passion of the contestants and the enthusiasm of the audience. As the birthplace of haute cuisine, France is the perfect host country for this event.”
The meeting of high end cuisine and high end Hasselblad cameras was even more meaningful with this year’s Bocuse d’Or’s distinctly Scandinavian flavor. “As a Scandinavian company,” adds Moebus, “Hasselblad is especially proud to congratulate the top three winners of the competition: Rasmus Kofoed of Denmark in first place, Tommy Myllymaki of Sweden in second place and, Gunnar Hvarnes of Norway in third place winner.”

Image Quality and Sample Images
G12 offer Hybrid IS employs both an angular sensor and an accelerometer, enabling it to suppress both the blur caused by the angle of the camera and the “shift blur” that happens when your subject moves parallel to the camera, a problem that is especially noticeable at large zoom factors.

With new formats and sizes you can take pictures, 10:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:2, 4:5 allows to get a better composition without croping the image. Focusing speedis too quick and more faster than G11, The lens is magnificently sharp and gives same result as L-lenses of canon DSLRs.

Excellent performance in Low light, 2.5-megapixel setting ISOs range from 320 to 12,800; it’s 80 to 3200 in all other modes, 2.5 MP sounds too small but looks good in 8×10 print paper, respectably bright apertures of f/2.8 and f/4.5 at either end of the zoom range gives clear and usable images at night.
HD Movie mode: G12 features 720p HD movie shooting (24fps) with stereo sound, no optical zoom available during video recording.
