Some of you may know me from over at Micro Four Thirds User Forum.....or maybe at GetDPI.
ANYWAYS......I have been checking in here from time to time (yes....lurking)....and never registered because I didn't have much to say about Serious Compacts .
I have recently ditched my Canon gear (kilos worth) to buy a Pentax K-5 and various lenses.... I LOVE IT!!!!!
Months ago, I put my name on a waiting list at my local camera store for the X100 and forgot about it.....until the owner called me today and said my camera was IN!!!
In the back of my mind, I knew that if I ever received that call, I would pass on it (especially after the Pentax investment).
When I saw the call pop up on my cell today....I immediately thought....the Fuji is in. I answered and listened to the owner tell me my camera was waiting. I took a DEEP breath and told him that I was going to PASS on it for all the reasons I described above.
And he replied "Richard.....you DON'T want to do that.....I have been shooting this camera since Fuji lent me a prototype. You will REGRET that decision".
With those words echoing in my ears.....I meekly told him I would be down tomorrow to pick it up.
What have I done????? Crap......we'll see.
