Singapore Streets (10 Feb '12)

OK... last day of my February trip. Not many photos this time as I was busy packing and doing proper stuff haha.

Fujifilm X100 | 1/120 sec, f/2, ISO 200 | 1/50 sec, f/2, ISO 200
| 1/1000 sec, f/2, ISO 200 | 1/80 sec, f/2, ISO 200

The Fuji X100 got a thorough workout from me and I'll say this: it's a superb camera. Some pluses:

• Colors are wonderful
• Operates near silently
• Unobtrusive
• Light
• Build quality
• The hybrid OVF has to be seen to be believed
• Just a really fun camera to shoot

Some issues:

• Clunky menu system
• Autofocus slow at times
• Random missed focuses
• Subject is 1 foot away and I have to use macro already?!
• Macro focus slow
• Battery life
• Slow recording of images

Yes... quite a few issues with the hinky focus being the biggest issue for me. Still, if you're like me and you shoot either P or Av mode (the X100 doesn't have auto), you won't be complaining much about some of the way custom controls are implemented. If you're a power user though, good luck.

Would I be perfectly happy with having this one camera in my closet? Probably not with its fixed focal length and the slow autofocus. However, I can't say my DSLR is as much fun as the X100.
