Joe
Is that an in camera JPEG straight out of the camera or a RAW PP'd? Either way it looks to be a winner.

it is small next to the rd1.
should fit into a terraclime 50...
Ok you've mastered the selfie ... let's move onto the cat shot! :D
Congrats Joe ... I sincerely hope you come to love the little Fuji as much as I love mine. I can honestly say I wasn't expecting to like the X100 as much as I do. :)

i hate cats!
the selfie was just a quick shot...
looking at that shot though...at 1600, handheld it still is pretty sharp.
if i like it enough to keep it i plan to sell one of the rd1 bodies and go with the mixed kit...might work out...

Very VERY nice for 1600 ISO!
.
One of the things I really like is how quiet the camera is when you turn all the sounds off ... a little busy whirr from the focus mechanism and that's about it.
Aside from it's great looks the camera attracts zero attention when you use it.
Did you notice the unusual smell when you unpacked it? Vaguely reminiscent of fresh engine oil ... or was that just me? :p

Congrats on the X100 Joe! I've been close to buying one a couple of times, but I'm still not sure what my next digital camera will be.

wow, I remember reading how you resisted buying the x100 yesterday? what happened Joe? :D
Enjoy

...I think he did hence the quick pump air freshener on the lower left of the selfie shot...
@ Joe: congratulations - this will be a nice addition the kit & will serve as your body+35mm fov standard... the RD1 can now be the answer to the question "should I go wider or longer? (than the X100)"
Enjoy.
congrats Joe!
you decided to let one or both RD1 go ?
?
.
I think he was referring to the RD-1 that you're considering to sell away... :confused:

Hey Joe, you know that camera has a viewfinder! You don't need look over the top like that... try it, you'll like it! :-)

i'm liking the dual finder, with the auto switcheroo...first the back lcd, then hold it up to the ugly mug and whamo, instant optical finder.

if the x100 stays (and it's looking good so far) i will likely sell one of the rd1 bodies and keep the second...this way it pays for the fuji and i still have my beautiful rd1 plus lenses. best of both i hope.

Don't look now, but there's some big tattooed dude standing behind your X100. QUICK! Send it to me for safe keeping!!!
Good to see some hi ISO images from this camera. I can't wait for the X200 to come out so I can afford the X100. :D

x100 at 35...rd1 at maybe 60 (with the 40/2.8) or longer with the cv 75...or just shoot the x100 and rd1 at different times...

agreed...i may even try something faster...
As you become familiar with the camera and start to use it in conjunction with an Epson it will be interesting to compare files.
I'm very impressed with how well the Fuji stacks up against my D700 ... the Nikon is better but tha gap is closer than I would have thought.
Congratulations, Joe.
Your next challenge: take some photos that will convince me I don't need one of these. Maybe you could add some fake sensor dust spots and some CA and barrel distortion in PP?

i believe i would have mixed feelings about that...
That is a grreat looking camera. Congrats on your purchase - hope you have fun with it.
I think dSLR's are just too big and clunky: http://timlim12.tumblr.com/post/5656875263/wow-such-huge-camera

That's not an outrageous hypothesus IMO ... I could get by with only the X100 quite easily if I had to because there's bugger all it can't do!
It won't be happening of course though! :D

argh! mirror shots are so confusing.
that x100 sure has a sharp lens ...
I've seen other samples @ 1600 from the X100. It's a sweet camera. How do you see the X100 as a 1st digital for someone who's coming from using film camera's?

i don't think i can answer that question till i get to know the x100 better.
judging from the 121 page manual, in very small print, there is much to know about this camera...but i hope to keep it simple and use my experience more than what the camera's computer input might like.
