Well, indeed it is. But many cameras are beautiful - actually the Pentax
K7/5 amongst them. I am more interested in size/weight versus ability/
quality. I want not-too-big, fixed focal length with auto or manual
focus, fairly rugged (the big open-faced LCD on the back a big minus for
me - I would have to concoct a sturdy hinged cover for this, unless they
make a twist/swivel screen, but even that has limitations. To be honest,
if the LCD can be switched to view in the eyepiece, then blanking it off
completely would be my preference.
But it would all rest on the viewfinder - I'd know immediately once I
have peered in.
I see what you're saying, Cotty. Rugged is indeed an important factor
for many people. If Fuji X100 drives the prices of such cameras down or
if Fuji come up with more cameras such as this one, I may be very
tempted. It is small and light, Fujinon lenses are great, the sensor is
big, the lens is fast enough - looks like a great tool for me.
