Yeeeeeee - HAAAA!!!
The UPS man just showed up! Its chucking rain and I need to figure this little beast out, so no photos today (probably not much tomorrow either because this weather is supposed to go through tomorrow), but it looks and feels great. I don't remember who thought it felt cheap, but they have a VERY different idea of what cheap feels like than I do. My cousin left the battery pretty close to full so I fired it up. It started right up and all of the basics seem to work, the OVF looks great, etc, but I have to give it a good bit of playing around to see how all of the moving parts work together. More of a report tomorrow, photos to follow, but probably not a lot until we get back from our trip to the tropics.
One pretty cool little bonus that I was just tipped off to by someone on another forum. The little Black Rapid Snap-R case / sling strap combo fits this camera PERFECTLY. I bought this little case when it first became available because it was such a cool idea, but the only camera lens combination it really worked with was the GF1 with the 14mm lens, so its been gathering dust. But its perfect for the X-100. So I have a great sling strap with a built in little case to protect it when I'm not shooting and to hold a couple of batteries and the lens cap (when I am shooting). I didn't want to take this camera out with a whole case, but its a bit big for a pocket and I don't want it completely unprotected if I'm out for more than a couple of hours. Very cool accidental discovery!
More to come...
