I have not gone so far as that, but I do use my PEN's more these days...unless I want reach then the little Fuji's do play well.
The little 1/2" BSI CMOS sensor they use is actually quite good. my Pic of Fred Naps was at ISO 400!
Still if I could guarantee getting an Orbless X-S1....

I don't think I realised there were orb issues with the XS-1. I agree, I don't want orbs. I do too much shooting around the early morning/evening when one is likely to get them. Oh well, no bridge camera needed really. I don't pick up the FZ100 really at all. I've had it for maybe 18 months and probably shot less than 100 with it. The little Fuji I've used more, but the Panny, nope. Might have to make it available to US ppl as well, I actually bought it from B&H, and it has the US charger. I havent been able to get one for AU. Panasonic AU is VERY cagey about how to get one.
