I'm a convert...

I have to say I was very skeptical about the X100. All that hype, the relatively high price, the hybrid viewfinder. All very suspicious!
Then I saw an ad in a local "for sale list". $800 for a used one. I'm not kidding about the price. For that price I wanted to try it and then sell it for a profit because I won't like it anyway, I thought.
My wife and I had a three week vacation planned anyway, so I took the X100 as a "sidekick" to a D700 and a Rolleiflex.
Our trip took us from Canada to the four corners region, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas etc.
Boy, did I ever appreciate the X100! What a fantastic little camera. Especially in Las Vegas the X100 was a dream. The high ISO performance is great and the camera is so quiet and unobtrusive. While it won't replace my D700, it sure is a great walk around camera.
I was never so glad to be wrong about something...

Here some shots from the trip:

Hopi Indian Reserve

The Flamingo Hotel in Vegas

Some ladies having a girls night out in Vegas

Somebody is always watching in Vegas

The lights of the "Planet Hollywood"

Halloween in Vegas

Navajo country

and Vegas again

Some great photos there - I especially like the "Flamingo Hotel", even though it looks a bit like something Andreas Gursky might have done (I'd personally rate yours a bit higher), and that particular thread did my head in ! The "somebody always watching in Las Vegas" would be my next favourite.

Some nice shots. I did not appreciate the x100 high iso capability until my last vacation. With the silent leaf shutter, no one really noticed when I took the shot or that I was taking a lot of pictures during a performance at preservation in new Orleans...

Since I was in the back, standing room area... I was not distracting anyone including the artist.

Have fun with your new camera
