i like what dpreviews says a lot:
This update is significant in two ways. Firstly, X100 owners are going to love it, since it promises to significantly boost the performance of their camera for no cost. It doesn't turn the X100 into an X100S, but we suspect that for a lot of owners of the original model, increased AF speed and a decent manual focus aid will keep them very happy, and will extend their relationships with the X100 for some time to come.
And this leads us to the second respect in which Fujifilm's announcement is significant. We're pretty sure that no one has ever done this before. We've seen major updates to relatively old products before (Canon's venerable EOS 7D was given a serious shot in the arm last year) but never to a camera that has been superceded and discontinued. Updates to 'end-of-life' products are generally released to ensure compatibility with newer dependent accessories or software.
It's worth noting that reenergizing the X100 in this way won't in itself make Fujifilm any money. In fact, if it prevents some X100 users from upgrading to the X100S, the company might even lose out in the short term, without even taking the cost of research and development into account.
This looks very much like a gesture of goodwill. Plus, knowing Fujifilm's engineers as we do, we suspect that there's a degree of simple, gleeful enthusiasm here - they figured out how to do something, got excited, and went ahead and did it. Not every manufacturer would take this kind of a risk. But if there's one thing that we've learned, it's that while gestures like this might have a short-term cost, keeping your customers happy always pays off in the end.
