X100 images thread...let's get this party started....

This time last year I was doing this in RAW on a Pentax K5. This year was X100 JPG with auto-levels in Aperture and I think I prefer how they look. ISO 3200, f/4.

Still enjoying my X100

and doing well Sapphie. I recently resurrected my X100 and started using it again for walkabout shooting. I missed the great Fuji color and sharp images.
Here are two with the X100 from a frigid walk around the local commons:

The party should never end ... I am now wondering if I ought to get the X10 to keep it company. Some from a walk today:

Lee,
You've made some very nice shots there, with lovely light. The first one, in particular, really captures the "mid-Devon" (I presume?) atmosphere very well.
As for getting the x10 - I have to admit to having considered this as well, but I've put the idea to one side. I find that the x100 does what I ask of it so well, that I don't really want to spoil things by having to choose between the two. That road seems to head back towards carrying too much stuff... as I used to with the DSLR kit. I'm just glad to have stopped doing that...!
Tim.

I think the X1-Pro will also have a new camera allure too but I agree - I would have to choose and even then choose between lenses or focal length or ...

Better the X100 with its superb image quality and zoom with the feet or crop if necessary!

Lee,
Yes, the X-Pro1 is very interesting, but I'm still more inclined to stay with the x100... i.e. keep it simple, and, as you say: zoom with the feet! The return to a reduced number of options is one of the real joys of the x100.

Very enjoyable shots... in particular, nice light-and-shade in "Into the spotlight".

@scho
Excellent shot of the "Occupy" protest... good that you've resurrected your x100!

Thank you Tim. I'm also feeling good about the X100 again and can't remember why I gave up on it for awhile. Here is a B&W with some dramatic winter lighting at the local marina.

These are some of the best shots I've seen on this site. I've been to the Imperial Palace/Forbidden City as well as the Great Wall. The palace shot and the one I included in the quote below are both publication-worthy IMHO. It is very tough to get GW shots without a lot of people in them - unless you walk a long way, and then you quickly get to parts of the wall that aren't maintained as well. Nice work!:salute:

I've been shooting with the X100 for a while as my normal small lightweight travel camera. It replaces my M9 outfit that unfortunately I had to sacrifice to afford my MF digital gear. However, I LOVE this camera and the quality of the 35mm equivalent lens.

I'm in China at the moment and shot these using the X100.

Amazing Great Wall image, Graham - and I can concur that it is difficult at the "hot-spots" in China to get any photo without people!
I'm loving the little X-100 more and more - it really is a nice little "take me with every-where" camera.
It takes amazingly good portraits too!

Anyone here using Apple Aperture to process RAW from the X100? I took some shots today with DR=200% and shot JPG+RAW. In LR the RAW would have been a stop underexposed. Aperture, however, appears to be compensating for the DR setting. What is interesting is that sometimes it seems to do a better job than the OOC JPG. For example, both just exported with no adjustments:

Now that I've got one, I can say that, yes, I've noticed that too! Aperture really seems to play well with the X100's RAW files.

And that is a beautiful photo, Lee!
