It has arrived - Fuji X100s :)

$1299 in the US. I pre-ordered in 15 minutes ago from Adorama. This is my dream camera. The only way I would like it more if it was F1.4 but that would make the lens bigger. I usually use F4 or 5.6 anyway. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to sell besides that extra kidney I don't need....... I think you really only need one lung right?
 
X20 looks a bit of a humdinger, impressed it has xtrans & phase detect.
Although it has the same OVF 85% as on X10 which when i tested was fine at 28mm and just about ok at 35mm.
The added digital info strip inside VF will be real handy.
I think a 2/3" xtrans will not match RX100 for detail, DR & high iso,
other than that X20 is sweet & i feel an action, family, sports, street shooters candy :) even macro (1cm) & possibly jewlery due to not having AA filter.
 
I think i would like to fund X100s by becoming a Gigolo [doh]


You should then be able to claim the Fuji as a business expense; clients will need a good photo of their 'purchase'.

I had decided to spend on a photographic trip this year, but this one has me tempted. I have been to the pre-order page twice.

I am liking Fuji's approach to improvements.
