What is it these days, does a cool looking camera perform better than the standard edition? Is there a value to a digital camera that I’m missing other than as a tool? Maybe I’m just out of touch with what the general consumer wants these days. But when I see the “Limited Edition” versions of multiple cameras coming out for considerably more money I’m just in shock people would spend more to have an obsolete camera in a year or two then they have to. Regardless let the list continue today with the announcement of the Fuji X100 Limited Edition Black Model.
To celebrate the outstanding success of the X100, Fujifilm Corporation (President & CEO: Shigetaka Komori) are going to launch a limited edition black version of the camera. There will be 10,000 limited edition units sold worldwide.
Included as part of the X100 Black Premium Edition package is, a genuine leather ‘ever-ready’ case, a lens hood, an adaptor ring and a protective filter. Each package also has a card with a unique X100 Black Premium Edition number printed on it, identifying which of the 10,000 units it is. No more will be made once the initial stock run has sold out.

The camera is also equipped with the world’s first “Hybrid Viewfinder”, which switches between the optical viewfinder (OVF) and electronic viewfinder (EVF). It incorporates cutting-edge digital functions, whilst offering the operability of traditional cameras with the aperture ring at the lens and the exposure compensation dial on the top plate.
