yeah the X100 is a beauty, almost reminds one of the film days lol...
those sample images up above are terrible though, especially the black and white - whats up with the contrast?
I dunno thats what put me off, but I found a blog by an actual photographer and he had some good pictures with it. He tells me that he used to have a gf1 and that the x100 has better dynamic range and more useable ISO.

Im going to check it out tommorow and if it feels good in my hand and ill probably sell my gf1 and cop one.

I was really thinking about the x100, but why would they make it a fixed lens... Too bad. Looked promising. Image quality isn't all that great either, and it's way overpriced.
M9's go for a little less than usd7k in Asia.
Ive been doing some research and reading reviews and apparently the dynamic range and image quality is actually better then a panasonic GF1. Its just most of the reviewers suck at taking pictures, including the digital rev guy.
When I posted my last post in this thread id look at over 1000 images from this camera and not one impressed me. Today and yesterday I started digging deep on the net looking for more samples and reviews from actual photographers. I need experience with one though.
As for interchangeable lenses, I get what you're saying but for a street photography and photojournalism 35-50mm is all you need. If you want more range then its better to get a DSLR.
I want a Leica M9 but cant justify the price for one and my GF1 while having great image quality feels like a toy to me. I kind of want an x100 now but I think ill wait until the newer version comes out. This camera appeals to my emotions then to the logical side of my brain, its so beautiful. lol

Nope and after looking at sample pics in the flickr fugi x100 group ill pass. The image quality is horrible, much worse then my GF1. I looked for pages to find something even comparable my camera.

This the best picture ive seen quality wise.
A lot of the street shots looked off and grainy, it didnt look realistic at all.
compared to my gf1 (facebook quality)
I was excited about getting this camera but its garbage and I hear its huge.

the m9 is good for daylit pictures. once you go above 1250 iso for any night shots, it's fucking garbage. i've used one extensively when my buddy owned one. they're not 9k hehe. more like 5k.
My friend got his for 9k and the lens 2k. I think they are more expensive in china.
His stuff his amazing though

Panasonic GF1 with 20mm is the GOAT in its price range.

I played with my friends leica M9 the other day though........wow, its worth the 9k plus 2k lens price range.

anyone have issues with tube blowouts when running extremely skinny tires? it's happened to me twice now, the second time resulted in a pretty bad accident,...with 120psi letting loose at once it really fucks with your ability to safely come to a stop
120 psi????!
Does it say the max pressure on your tire?

oh yeah the 1.8. For 100 more you can get a used 50 1.4G.

So I decided to buy the 35mm Nikor lens for now while the 50mm isn't out yet. (I have a D60, so I need the AF thing) I noticed 35mm is SO EXPENSIVE NOW. like 2x whatit used to be or so. Is it worth it to get that lense for 300+? (amazon)
What 50mm are you talking about that isnt out yet? I have the 50g and I love it.
Anyways I would skip on the 35mm 1.8 and go for the Sigma 30mm 1.4. Its the GOAT lens on a crop sensor.

Man, learn the art of the bike wash!

I have white bar tape as well, the kind you have to wrap. Mine arent as black as in that picture but they are getting there. How do I clean it? Would soap and water be bad for the adhesive?

Best Non-SLR digital camera
in supertech

I am selling it but locally. I dont like dealing with shipping or paypal. I'm probably going to sell my film camera as well and a couple lenses i dont use any more so i dont have to come out of pocket.
