Post your X100 photos

I was able to make it to the BAMPFA in time to see the barry McGee exhibit before they started renovations for the next feature.

I was asked to take some photographs at our company's xmas dinner.
I normally shoot film, but in cases like this little X100 goes with me.
The restaurant was very dim lighted, so I set 3200 ISO and let the camera do the rest.
Everybody was really curious about the camera, the most re-iterated comment was:
"Is this really a digital camera? It looks so cool, like a vintage film camera!"
Anyway, I was amazed by the results at 3200 ISO, and by the "poetry" in the out-of-focus areas, this camera is such a little jewel:

I think the focusing got to me (and the terrible manual focusing); the menus got to me; and the weird macro setting got to me. Also, the different settings for longer exposure work (can't really remember) confused me. A smaller issue was that I preferred Canon 1-series RAW file colours as opposed to Fuji's interpretation of greens and blues.

I know you guys/gals can acclimatize to a camera's foibles really well to get the best pictures out of it. I don't do that well. If a camera isn't intuitive for me to use I get rid of it fast. So it's really me, not the camera.
