For better or worse, here are the three auto-bracket images using the
X100's Film Emulation Auto-Bracketing. No post-processing except for
image size.
Light was changing a little with the sun shining at moderately different
intensities though the clouds.
It takes only one push of the shutter, and the camera develops for the
different "film types" in-camera, and presents the 3 images together
as a preview.
Astia
Velvia
Provia

I agree with you.
The flowers are real, they are Trilliums in the woods behind my home.

Provia is pretty much "right on" the red and green colors of the actual
subjects.

I'll be shooting some more with the bracketed film emulation types. I am
curious to see what kinds of differences there could be other than
saturation and dynamic range.
Speaking of dynamic range, that is also bracketable.
ISO is also bracketable.
White Balance is bracketable.
Color Shift is bracketable.
AE is bracketable.
Shutter speed is bracketable.
Focus lock area is bracketable.
All bracketing modes are customizable. For instance, AE bracketing can be
as little as 1/3 stop (+ or -) or as much as 2 stops (+ or -), depending on
what the photographer wants.
One click of the shutter captures 3 bracketed images of the scene.

You know...I have to agree with you on this. Saturation IS why I shoot
with Velvia. I might be expecting too much out of the film emulation;
perhaps it's doing simply what it's supposed to do. Also, the other
bracketable functions can certainly be customized to work along with the
film emulation. I think most of them are interchageable and can work in
unison.
Provia all the way, whether it be this simple emulation process or in
real transparencies!
Good points, rbelyell

koji, the Trillium (west coast style versus east coast style) was ALMOST
the state flower for Washington.
The reds in all of these are not quite "right" with the true color of the
rucksack. I thought they were right on, but now I'm looking at my
rucksack, and it's a bit of more "orange red".
But the green in Provia mode is spot-on for Trilliums.
Need to do more experimentation.

We have to keep in mind that this cam is not aimed at the newbie hobbyist, but at experienced photographers who still remember what a film roll looks like. 
For those this feature is very nice and I really like the results and the differences (saturation, colours, dynamic range, contrast...)

The difference between Velvia and Provia is mostly saturation, but I also note that the shadows are a bit more prominent in the Velvia emulation than the Provia, and this is also what I have seen with the film emulsions. Velvia is more sensitive to shadows than Provia is -- or to put it another way, Velvia seems to have a narrower exposure latitude.
I think this is one cool feature with that camera. If it were mine, I would probably leave it permanently set to Provia mode. I can always bump up the saturation in PP, so I don't see the need for Velvia, really.

Yes, Attila, that is true. Some of the shots from the X100 have been
very true without plastic look, while others seem less dynamic and
more like plastic.
I will eventually know how to use the camera to its fullest advantage, and
hopefully will have a high percentage of "true" images.

Again, I agree with yet another opinion on here! You think like me, I
guess, because it was in my mind to just set to Provia as well. 
Perhaps it's just a weak gimmick. In any case, I'll still experiment and
see how things come out. If it never seems to do much for me, then
I can certainly ignore the film emulation modes.

The battery charger is falling apart.  
Such a beautifully machined camera, it truly is solid and nice. It seems
that they did not do their homework on the charger though. I have it
taped together now. One of the contacts just fell out of the housing,
and I already posted about the need to shim the battery in order to
maintain contact with the charger.
I have another charger with the same voltage regulator, so I'll start using
that one.
As you can see, I am trying to document the "good" with the "bad".

It looks like I'm consistently getting about 450 shots, give or take, with
a charged battery. This is in JPEG High mode and with a LOT of
chimping and reviewing.
So, it looks like it's "middle of the road" in how many images can be taken
on one charge. Not the best, not the worst.

That sounds about right, compared to what I'm getting with my DSLR. I shoot in raw mode with it, though. Dunno if that makes a real difference or not. Plus, while I wouldn't say I do a lot of chimping, I do do a lot of Live View work, where the mirror's up and I'm viewing the scene directly off the sensor, so that's bound to eat battery life, I would think.
