When I saw this one, which I love,

I immediately thought of this one by Matt Stuart.

I love yours, Bob. Great expressions on the couple on the left, and
juxtaposed with the couple on the right makes it funny to me.
Congrats on the new camera. Cheers, Christine

I bought a Fuji X100 yesterday. After struggling with the onboard software
for a while I decided to read the manual and get it set up to suit the way
I
want to use it.
Here are the first pictures, taken around Greenwich earlier today:

Hard to judge it properly yet. I think it's going to work well for my
purposes, which is to take pictures at lunch time in the area where I
work.
It was a pleasure to use today in the market, but it has its quirks. First
off, the dials are too easy to change by accident, so most of these were
shot at 1/500 on auto aperture, rather than both on auto. That has meant I
had to recover most of the exposures in Lightroom.
The optical viewfinder, which is why I bought this rather than some other
camera, is essentially just a framing device - you can't use if for manual
focusing, so you have to be aware of where the focus point is. In some of
the pictures it's clear that I wasn't thinking of that when I pressed the
shutter.
But it's early days and I think I'll emjoy using it. It's unobtrusive,
easy
to shoot one-handed (you can see your humble servant using it this way in
a
reflection in one of the pictures), responsive and quick.
It can't really be compared to a Leica M, despite the reviews, but perhaps
Leica should be thinking about a digital CL along these lines, and about
returning the M10 to the same size as the M3 - the X100 suggests that it
can
be done.
