I'm just embarking on a photographic course (NVQ level 4) and on the recommendation of a professional photographer mate of mine (he's in charge of Photo/Graphics section at RAFC Cranwell) I began the search for a small, compact but very high quality camera - the sort to carry around for 'chance' photos. Better than lugging a load of DSLR gear around.

Anyway, ended up with one of these little beauties:



Fuji X100.





I'm not going to pretend that it'll replace my EOS 7D but it's right up there in terms of picture quality.

I really like these retro style compact system cameras.

Sadly, I struggle to justify the cost of one.

Very nice..........keep us posted

You - are a fraud, Sir!

That photo could not have been taken using the camera in the photo!

Aha! I can move extremely quickly

If I go through all my photos's my best results were from some old Russian camera that I borrowed from a friend to take to Berlin with me when I was in the Army back in the 80's.
It even had a seperate light meter.
No pictures I've taken before or since are of the same quality.
Go figure

Looks great, and looking at the specs there's an awful lot crammed in there!

Now you just need a leather camera case, lanyard to hang it round your neck, sandles, socks and a beer belly for the retro look to be complete.

You've clearly met me.

Back to the Fuji...

Did a couple of comparison pictures yestrerday, using my EOS 7D with Canon 24-105L against the Fuji X100.

Result?

Whilst the Canon is more versatile (as you'd expect a DSLR to be), the Fuji just takes better pictures.
