Im getting a page not found?

Think I just fixed the links Hamish - try again

And I'm certainly going to have a look when they come out

Very odd - the forum software was truncating the URLs Hamish

I have updated with short URLs and it should be fine now

something funny was going on ... still, they work now!

I did skim the manuals. I expect with the months of experience X100 shooting, the learning curve will be shallow. Working shooters are much more familiar with Fuji high-end products than those in the consumer market, so I am confident the camera will live up to expectations. While they do sell yet another P&S like everyone else, their Fujinon lenses are well know by large-format shooters and the whole movie/video industry. The camera design—along with the design of the X100—is what I have been hoping for since the dawn of digital. Very similar to the rangefinder cameras that I used so much for personal photography, but in a fully 2012 version.

Loads more information from the Fuji-Canada Fuji-Guys. I am under the impression that this is mostly information aimed at dealers, since much of it not listed for the general public on their web-site. In all, there are 24 videos.
