Back when Fujifilm announced its first X series retro style digital camera, fuji x100.... i was stoked! It was silver in colour, to me it represents the vintage years, retro back then was all silver... my dad had a classic SLR, i dont remember the brand, it might be canon but i remember it was silver!.. i thought enough with the blacks...all black is a thing of the past...
But its not until Fuji X-M1 was announced that i decided to take the plunge, into Fuji world, i was a Canon user but my rebel is old, i need a new camera, i want a new camera.....i want a new camera that looks vintage, and only Fujis have beautiful vintage style digital camera....when Fuji X-M1 was announced, it was also the cheapest X series....same processor like the top end models, i was certain, i want it in silver! to me, the X-M1 looks best in silver, vintagey...just the way i like it....
but i guess thats what GAS made us or me, when i already owned it, it didnt feel retro, suddenly it looked like a normal camera... i guess my GAS is satisifed, just to own a brand new camera... suddenly all the appeal, lose its appeal..haha..
Then my GAS strikes me again in a space of 2 months i think, i want a really vintage looking camera....again!....i've been using my Fuji X-M1 and loving it, so i want to check out what other models fujifilm had released. Fuji X100s was already announced, read the reviews, it was a better camera than the predecessor, you know when GAS strikes, everything is cool with the camera. But an all black limited edition Fuji X100 was already announced too! and my god it looked sexy! i no longer find silver sexy...vintage sexy that is.... an all black camera is super sexy.... check out the fuji x100 in black below...
Yowzer!! isnt that sexy?? all of the sudden i hate silver... i dun really hate it but i would prefer an all black camera... but to buy an older camera doesnt make sense to me, the new one is all fixed and better camera than the old one but it only comes in silver, i've tried googling for a black fuji x100s and the fuji rep told that there are no plans to release an all black fuji x100s...even David from strobist blogspot wanted an all black x100s, he even gaffed taped his camera to all black.....but the all black Fuji X100 also cost more than the newer silver x100s....oh well to justify the price i bought the newer fuji x100s.... and i'm loving the camera!
but then of course they announced the all black fuji x100s this monday 6th Jan 2014.
Of course GAS tells me to get it.
its no longer OR,
its black AND silver.
