Fujifilm Touch and Try Day

This will be in the U.K., I'll get a similar experience in a few months in the U.S. but probably not as extensive as this one.

I've already tried the camera and did enjoy using it and will probably end up getting one.

The model numbers on that camera are interesting. First it was the X-100. Then the X-100S (second) then the X-100T (third), followed by the X-100F (fourth). Now they are using the Roman numeral V for the fifth edition of the camera. Any predictions on what they will name the sixth edition of the camera?

You can never tell with a series, perhaps you remember the Xbox series (Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox1) or the developer could be following the names of their children? :) Perhaps they are skipping letters because they don't translate well in other languages?

I have the x100f and I am lusting for the v if only my beloved would agree. Maybe not as we are getting a new car shortly. How not happy I am:D
Cheers Ole

Every time I get a new camera, I think that this will be the last camera I will ever buy (due to my advanced age)...

This happened when I bought a Sony A6400 to use in tandem with my A6500... Then the A6600 went on sale and I realized that I could sell my A6500 and buy the A6600 for not a terribly lot of money more. GAS won that contest and I now have the A6600 and A6400 and love them both!

I don't purchase a new camera because I think it will be a magic wand to improve my images... I get new gear because that gear will probably be more fun with which to shoot...

When I was a fisherman, I did not catch more fish with a custom rod but, I did have more enjoyment fishing with that type of equipment.

It's the same concept with my camera gear...

No idea, Paul!

Totally off-topic but the folks at the Sigma Camera Forum on DPR are fond of re-naming every Sigma model number for maximum confusion. For example, posts over there often mention a "DP2" - leaving the reader to decide from context which of five different Sigma models is actually being referred to:

DP2, DP2s, DP2x, DP2 Merrill, or dp2 Quattro. :(

Fujifilm just came out with the X-T4.
