Hey all... despite its shortcomings, I've really fallen in love with the x100. Kinda reminds me of my Konica Hexar AF.
Anyway, I'm looking for advice as to what you think would be the best second camera for travel (primarily portraits). I've traveled with all kinds of gear, large format, full professional zooms in 35mm and digital, but my favorite trips have always been with the least gear.
My idea focal length would be a short telephoto (85 to 105mm eq in 35mm).
My original idea was to use a Nikon V1 outfit + X100. Despite lovely exposure and portability, the lack of shallow dof control, fuzzy UI and limited sensor range kind of annoyed me (the same reason I never caught on with the gf1 minus the controls). Any suggestions for a body + lens (max $800) [used is ok]?
Thanks in advance.
