Thank you Josh
At least I have decided to park the selling mood for a while.
Buying new gear and selling used shouldn't be a non-trivial impulsive act.
I guess everybody have experienced moments where you felt *No, this is not gonna work for me* even you worked a lot to make it happen. In my case I only got frustrated I was unable to replicate the X100 color palette. A perhaps very stupid and only criteria to engage in purchasing a brand new system and just because the cameras have something in common. 12 MP easy handling files. Silent mode. Good ISO performance, stealthy size and things like that.
I was overwhelmed when I saw the clean files the 7s crafted and thought.. cool.. I'll then handle the punchy colors in post and tweak them to show the X100 look. Mission completed. And it was the latter that caused me the pain. I couldn't. It's an in camera hardware/firmware thing.
I have been a bit naive in this respect. I think I should have known.
On the other hand I came to like the 7s a lot for what it is. It really has it strengths and us who tried it we know what they are .
But frankly in this way the camera more became a symbol of gear collection luxury, a syndrome I have tried to avoid. Any attempt to pack it back to the boxes and write a sales add failed so far. It could be a sign that I am allowing my self the the luxury to keep it
