CP+ 2011: Part I

Fujifilm FinePix X100

May be the most interest attracting camera at the show, X100 was a very impressive on hand on. Feel, responsiveness and not the last, innovative viewfinder definitely makes adds it this camera to the wishlist.




Another personal favorite was Sigma SD1. However, the hands on experience left a lot to desire. Mostly due to camera's unexpectedly long time to write and preview the recorded image - about 5-6 seconds. As well as disappointing screen by today's standards - it looks pixel-ed and inaccurate in the color, especially in the bright areas.




A good thing - ergonomics of the body seems huge improvement over SD14/15. One of the best fitting in hand cameras!
