   Doesn’t seem to mention anything about manual focus aids other than magnification window

   Dear Fuji,
   as you might’ve seen on X100 sales, we, enthusiasts don’t care really.
   Give us this, we might care:

   - 6 Mpix fullframe rangefinder
   - no, or poor AF (not a prio)
   - PASM
   -100-6400ISO
   - excellent MF
   - optical VF
   - might as well be EVF or hybrid, should you desire
   - small enough lenses. we will buy them for any price if they are good
   - some promise of future
   - AA batteries welcome
   - CF cards welcome

   Price under 2k.
   I would buy 4, probably more as i would equip whole class with it too.
   Thanks,

     PASM – you already have it
     6MP FF – no thanks
     AA batteries – no thanks
     optical VF – you have hybrid
     CF cards – no thanks

       thanks for your complex answer, but i dont need you to point out that there is yet another camera which doesn’t do what i want it to do

           @Harold Ellis – X100 is what I have and am happy with it. I guess we’ll never be happy with whatever camera manufacturers give us It’s hard to satisfy all of us.

       piss off!!! what’s your problem? why do you leave comments like this on almost every single entry on these pages? have you been molested when you were young by inexperienced photographer or what the fuck is wrong with you?

   it’s the same as X100 apart from small additions I probably would never use (multiple exposure, new film effects) I can’t see from the manual anything else – nothing about setting sensitivity of MF ring, nothing about MF assist.

     p.46 indicates that pressing the center of the command dial magnifies the view in the electronic viewfinder & LCD monitor for more precise focusing.

     The viewfinder focus distance & DoF indicators are cool too.

       X100 already has this. It helps a bit but not a lot (street for example)

       it will not help you when DOF is 1″ thin. There real rangefinder or good working AF confirmation helps. Sure it is 2012, so i can dream about sharp area coloring, zebra, and other features available on high end video systems since 1990

   There’s something about MF assist in the manual… page 45…
   You basically have an electronic version of the aperture brackets next to the focus ring on old manual focus lenses… Look at your focus range based on your current aperture and wing it
   Wonder if Fuji will have an auxilliary rangefinder accessory… (http://www.fotomancamera.com/product/2006111020919RF-Lg.jpg)

   Nice camera but much too expensive.
