First Glance at the Fuji X100s

The successor to the popular X100 has been out for sometime now, however I never had a chance to play with it. No longer having the X100 or the Leica X1 I decided to replace my all round street body with the newer X100s. After hearing and reading countless raves about it, its seemed like the logical choice.

I love this camera. Its a great size and quality and at a price point that’s less than a Leica lens offering excellent results and a very good package.

Anyways, this site is about the photography, not the gear, but thought I’d share some thoughts and post a few samples from day one with the camera.

By no means are these amazing shots but they were some nice pics while testing and adjusting the body within it’s first hour.
