Interesting vid, introducing the basics of the Camera......this is a bit piccy I know, however if you are producing a video proclaiming the virtues of optical equipment (cameras / video) then please get your white balance correct.....unless the walls, your shirts, the picture frames and both of your skin tones are magnolia....easy to do, so 'get it right'.

@joebloggs55555 Thanks. Forgot to take the camera off "Auto White balance" during the video.

does anyone know if this camera does focus lock, i mean i just use the af and then hold the camera and move the camera?

[fujiguys]

@lagook Yes it does. AFL = Auto Focus Lock, AEL = Auto Exposure Lock, hence the AFL/AEL button can be configured just like a DSLR.

Same clothes?  Either they're from the future or this was done in China and it's a state-mandated nerd uniform.

@ApologiaTV One is small, the other is medium so not exactly the same. Since the shirts are trademark "Fuji Guys", they will continue to be used for every episode. We will also not wash them to give them the authentic Fuji Guys smell.

@ScottJamesLewisNJ Good luck finding it for $400. Try $2000+ on ebay :-)

The manual focus really really lets the camera down.

Tempting to buy, but can't make use of the (very cool) hybrid VF if I have to be on EVF the whole time in order to focus. And fly-by-wire focusing is too unnatural to use. If I wanted auto-focus, I'd go DSLR.. the whole point of this ought to be simplicity for street shots.

Ditch the cutsey features (video, motion pano etc.) and focus on basics (focusing, speed), and I'd buy. Top marks for the look of the camera and controls though!

@fujiguys AWESOME thnx will wait for batch 2 and or firmware upgrade, friend says he has some issues with his

[brdevans]

you should just let the asian dude do the video because the white guy just sits there and repeats a word every once in a while. you can save on paying him for not doing a damn thing...
