I saw a Fuji FinePix X100 at a portrait photography course on the weekend. I loved it's simplicity, subdued design, fantastic noise control at high ISO (3200 ISO looks like 800 ISO on my 7D), silent shutter, etc. The idea of having the controls at hand like my Pentax SP1000 film camera had does appeal.
I can see myself being much more comfortable shooting with it during travels than shoving a big L lens in a stranger's face. I can see it would also not be a target for thieves like a big DSLR.
A hesitation is the fixed lens. I love primes, and 35mm is good for so many situations of course, but I'd love to be able to use it at more 70-80mm for closer portrait work.
I don't plan to buy one soon, as I can't justify the $$$. But I thought a discussion on it might be enjoyable. I'd love to play with one for a while.
Anyone have one or experiences with them?
Roger.
