I've too been searching last couple years for a capable compact camera with reasonable price. X100 was on my radar for a while. When the news of x100s came out. I pre-ordered mine within a few weeks.
My x100s came in about a week ago. I used last weekend in a restaurant and my friend's kid birthday party. Here is my initial feeling:
Pro:
- The image quality and colors are excellent. I really love its colors!!
- Shutter sound is so quiet.
- I can shoot at a much lower speed(~1/20sec) due to the leaf shutter design.
- I can shoot at a much lower speed(~1/20sec) due to the leaf shutter design.
Con:
- AF speed is not as fast as my dslr setup(but according to some reviews, it is faster than most mirrorless, such as RX1, Cooplix A).
- UI is kind of corky.
I should able to work around these issues. It is my everyday and street camera for sure.
