Today is the last day fo the NAB 2011 show. Here is a quick recap of some of the new products introduced during the show:
DxOMark published new test data today for the Fuji X100 camera (see review). Here is the comparison with the Olympus PEN EP2 and Panasonic GH2:
See some more new DxOMark test data on NikonRumors.com.
Other countries have received and already sold out their first Fuji X100 shipment weeks ago. There is still no word on the availability in the US. What’s going Fuji USA? Where is the X100? An update would be nice. Thank you.
Adorama and B&H will be closed for almost 10 days starting on April 18th, so don’t expect to receive your Fuji X100 this month (there is still hope if you pre-ordered from Amazon).
The current Fuji X100 “buy now” prices on eBay are between $1600-$1800.
Do you remember the WVIL camera (Wireless Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) and their “tricky” video during CES 2011? They are back again with another video:

After the RE-35 April Fool’s prank, a group of students from Hongik University designed another “digital film” concept:
While we are on the digital film topic, you can read few interesting comments from someone who used to work for Silicon Film back in 2001 in this thread (search for Jon).
