Hmmmm, a new Nex and a 24 1.7....
hmmmm what were we talking about....
Dunno!

Dunno!
Sorry if I derailed, was just thinking out loud about the camera and the considerations behind buying...
Since I know Don is very interested in the optical viewfinder, I immediately email him...only to find as I continue reading that he's waaaaay ahead of me.Just got back from the show too. Went to see the X100 as soon as we’d arrived.
Very very impressed. The optical viewfinder is excellent, far better than I’d imagined it might be. To my mind, and in its own way, the viewfinder is as good as the Zeiss Ikon’s and better than the M7’s. (Of course, this view was formed in a state of great excitement and in the heat of the moment but I’m pretty sure I’ll still feel the same once I try it out for a longer period of time and in a calmer state of mind).
All in all the X100 is lovely camera of great beauty and charm. It’s gives you the completely irrational feeling that you want to have it and use it whatever its picture quality turns out to be. It’s got such visceral appeal - it just makes you want to wrap it in your hands and actively search out pictures.
Its available now at Chiswick Camera Centre for £999.00! A friend of mine went in there today and played with it. Fuji Finepix X100 | Chiswick Camera Centre

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the cheapest option in the UK would be to go to a reputable EU store where the standard price is 999 EUROS, so around 840 GBP + shipping
Ooo, I am quite jealous! I am too far away to check it out myself in person. Did your friend like it, bubzz?
