I'm out

My X100 is the best camera I've ever owned.

My 5D2 is sitting there gathering dust, and so is my Zeiss Ikon. Don't think I'll ever use a DSLR again.

The AF could be better. No other complaints at all. Of course it doesn't suit everyone, possibly even it doesn't suit most people. But Fuji made a camera just for me. :) They also made sure I got one of the first models outside of Japan.

I still put an occasional post on my blog for those who haven't visited for a while.

point out the alternative choices, available for purchase today (or last February), in the X100's basic size and shape, with an APS-C sensor, with both an optical and electronic viewfinder (and with a viewfinder, *period*), that produce images on par with the X100, I'd appreciate that.

There are none, at an affordable price anyway, but the haters don't seem to care about that. Personally, I won't buy a camera that doesn't have an optical viewfinder no matter how good the sensor is.
 
bhop73, I'm with you on that. Before heading over here and seeing your latest comment I had just written on the x100 forum site that the primary reason I was first attracted to the X100 was the hybrid finder. That the camera also paired that finder with a decently sized and capable sensor and other key features of which size and shape were in my books a key feature, made it, for me, very easy to buy. I'd been holding out for something like it since, well, forever.

My X100, after lighting the digital fire within me for a while, has assumed a position in the cupboard next to my D700. I haven't used it in a couple of weeks and suddenly it just seems like another digital camera to be used when film won't do the job or the required output is colour.
