Due out any day now: Nix Software's "Optics Efex" with the Noctilux, Summilux and Summicron settings.

I keep a cat in my freezer just in case I get a new camera. Then I giggle at all those people that comment on how "life-like" the lens renders the image. It's frozen mid-pounce, so with a little a pp to get rid of the wire it also suggests wildly fast autofocus speed for any camera. I so can't wait for the x100.

What happens if you still want to shoot film? Does that mean you're not serious?
Are you aware of the old photographers saying -- 'Experts talk about light, amateurs talk about composition, and beginners talk about equipment.' Paraphrased of course, and not universally true, but there's an element of truth there. A 'serious photographer' will use just about any camera. Doesn't even have to be a rangefinder.
And don't take any of this personally, because just about anyone who posts on these types of forums has a bit of the fondler in them. Including me.

... I would not say that the X100 costs "very little" ...
Um, the Leica IIIb is a camera that is 73 years old lacks an SD card and a USB port.
Pray tell, how am I supposed to get the pictures from it into lightroom?
What if the X100 is unboxed, and it turns out that Schrödinger’s cat is inside?

Use. Not necessarily like. Most of the professionals I've know have held quite strong views on the cameras they like, and which they don't. But (a) they don't pretend that 'everybody' needs the same camera and (b) they don't hop between systems. Once they have a camera that does what they want, they stick with it.

I'm going to get one when they come out with the full frame interchangeable lens version and this one is $50 on ebay.
I am jealous. It's a really neat camera!

All true. But if you want to make a colour print you have to do it via a computer. I really enjoy the RA-4 darkroom so this is not the camera for me.

Be careful at first; I'm concerned about spontaneous human combustion occurring on first contact with some people here:
"SHC victims are sometimes described as people who fall into a trance immediately before their incineration. Heymer[3] suggests that a psychosomatic process in such emotionally-charged people can trigger off a chain reaction by reacting nitrogen within the body to set off a chain reaction of mitochondrial explosions..."
Larky, Aside from the SHC risk, good luck with it.

Have mine as well. Only problem is battery isn't charged so have to wait to have a play.
