Eduardo: Took the X100 with me on a 10-day road trip through southeastern Mexico in lieu of the usual Canon 1D+15lbs of gear. The camera is almost perfect for street shooting. The AF is a far cry from what Canon and Nikon offer on their top-of-the-line bodies, but totally serviceable. I did miss a few backlit shots due to AF failure, and the MF ring is a joke. Still, I've missed way more shots to misfocus on manual Leica and Mamiya rangefinders. Metering is among the best I've used though it still can't match old-fashioned think-before-you-shoot techniques. The spot meter has too wide a view angle in my opinion. The dual optical/electronic viewfinder makes the rangefinder practical for close-ups and night use. Being able to review a shot through the EVF right after you shot it through the OVF is a cool feature, but beware second-guessing your exposure decision based on the EVF image, which in high- or low-light conditions may not match what you see later in your computer monitor. The sensor is extraordinary up to ISO 800 and usable all the way up to 3200, so handheld twilight shooting is shockingly easy, and with 12MP you have a lot of room for cropping beautiful 8x10s out of your original. As in most any camera, image quality is mostly limited by your technique. The lens is essentially perfect unless you're shooting a brick wall wide-open at f/2.0 and expecting no distortion (but why would you?) I'm deducting 1 star for a series of amateur mistakes Fuji made on this camera: the battery life is mediocre (~300 shots), the charger is a piece of crap (it's huge, it holds the battery in with a plastic adapter that's easy to lose, it malfunctions), the battery can be inserted incorrectly, the exposure compensation dial can be inadvertently adjusted, the digital overlay on the OVF is very hard to see in bright light, and finally, the live histogram isn't updated according to aperture and shutter speed changes. All in all, a wonderful little camera that packs a serious punch at 35mm (equiv.).

Robin: Recently traveled to Belize and rather than bring along my DSLR and various lenses, I opted to keep it simple by renting a 'higher-end' point and shoot, FUJI X100 Digital Rangefinder with 35mm f/2 Lens and an underwater camera, the Canon PowerShot D10. Great choices as I was able to enjoy the trip and still manage to get some decent shots. The only problem I've encountered (my fault) is the raw images off the Fuji, I have not been able to convert to tiff/jpg yet due to only having Canon software. Next time I will be aware of this major glitch should I go w/ a different brand!
