Fuji has just released their latest firmware update for the
X100, which provides much faster AF on both normal and macro mode, as well as
high contrast focus peaking on MF mode with improved MF operation. There is also a few other minor updates, the
biggest of which is faster start up time.
I downloaded it a few days ago, and frankly I am very
impressed. Impressed in two ways
actually. Firstly the updates
significantly improve the camera's operation in ways that you can immediately
see and notice. The AF really is a lot
better, and the MF operation is good, though I must say I prefer Sony's style
of focus peaking to the Fuji's. However
it is still a good improvement.
The other reason I am impressed is that Fuji bothered to do
this at all. It would be very easy to
let sleeping dogs lie, and encourage users to go buy a new X100s. It really engenders brand loyalty for me, and
frankly it will make me highly consider another Fuji when it comes time to
trade up.
