Where’s the ISO button on the Fuji Finepix X100? →

2011 Jan 25 1 min read Published by Lee Reamsnyder Permalink

So, I’ve been drooling over the Fuji Finepix X100, but with the release nearing, where the hell is the button to change ISO?

I mean, for a digital camera, that’s kind of important. Like, right after the aperture, shutter speed, and focus ring important.

Here’s the view all around.

Maybe they should check the deck of the Zeiss Ikon, which combines the shutter and exposure compensation dials (because you probably only want exposure compensation in Aperture Priority mode). Clever, and it’d free up a dial for ISO. (Update September 2018: It took them until the X100F, but they implemented a similar lift-turn ISO dial.)

Other weirdness: Why is there an AEL button on a camera with aperture and shutter speed dials? I feel like if you want to lock the exposure, you have ample dials to do it.

I guess I’ll have to wait for the final production model, but these seem like some rookie mistakes.
