If the X100s had a 28mm equivalent FOV, you wouldn't even be playing with that Nikon toy or the Sony RXwhatever :tongue:
I can't guarantee it, but I think you're wrong. I mean, I
DO have an XPro with an 18mm lens, which is basically a slightly larger version of an X100s with a 28 equivalent. The AF would be faster but I almost never use AF for anything that would require fast AF at that focal length. And I love that camera, but I don't need two of 'em! Maybe if I hadn't bought the 14mm lens, I'd have
replaced the X-Pro with a 28mm X100s, but I like the 14mm a lot. And I don't see a place for both.
I'm psyched about the RX1 for its insane lens and sensor in a really well executed package. It's a camera I didn't even really expect to like and I
love the damn thing at this point. He'll, if
THAT camera had been 28mm, I'm not sure what else I'd keep except for the odd longer and ultra wide focal lengths? I'm potentially interested in the Nikon toy because of what appears to be damn good IQ in a remarkably small and discrete package. That's
IF the handling measures up. I'm specifically not into the RX1 as a street camera, while the Nikon "A" may well be
THE street camera. Walking around with the RX1 on a sling strap and the Nikon in a pocket with a wrist strap doesn't sound like a bad way to live a lot of the time. And the X-Pro will still be waiting for those days where I just want that OVF shooting experience and/or want to shoot with the 14mm. Which always has been and likely will be a minority of my shooting, but an
important minority! The biggest change in all of this is to my m43 gear, which has gone from being my primary all-around system to being mostly just my long lens and zoom system. Which will get a
very small minority of my shooting, but will also be pretty critical for certain situations.
I know you're joking, but I'm gonna buy my UPS guy a gun just to be safe.
And it's not like I haven't thought plenty about the X100s since it was announced. I'm sure I'm gonna like it but I can't imagine what I'd do with it to actually want to own one. I'll take my chances getting blocked from X-Spot!
