I have no problem with people using phones or tablets to take photos, but I had a problem last year at the Olympics with the proliferation of people in front of me in the audience holding iPads above their heads to record events, but actually blocking my view.

Isn't ISO 200 the standard lowest setting on most Nikon cameras too? I'm sure it used to be.

I just keep the X100 in an old Lowepro lens pouch in my bag, and carry it with me all the time. I put a couple of spare batteries and memory cards in a very small Tupperware pot that just sits in the bottom of the bag.

+1 for a lock on exposure compensation dial.

I ended up with a nice dark brown wrist strap that I picked up from the Lomography store in Manchester (originally for a different camera), but the Gordy ones look really nice.

Fairly wide angle for close portrait in macro mode. But I still like it.

The price being a limited edition and with the extras you get isn't too bad. But the black and silver looks much better. :P

I don't use the wrist strap to support the weight of the camera, just as a safe guard in case I drop it.

Must admit I only use a wrist strap with this camera. Only problem I've had is when I've not had the wrist strap on my hand and taken shots with it dangling in front of the lens - which of course I didn't spot in the OVF.

At least it didn't rain too much, and there was somewhere to buy a coffee on the industrial estate. I had heard the torch was coming back out of Adidas, but didn't know Keith Lemon was going to be carrying it.

I've posted this already in the X100 thread, but I found its 35mm (equivalent) length just about right.

I used the X100 today to capture a snap of Keith Lemon carrying the Olympic torch.

I was getting a fair bit of lens flare. The hood does cut this down, but not eliminate. Just have to remember to remove it when using the built in flash so it doesn't cast a shadow.

Some nice shots there. I hope you don't mind, but I've invited some to the Flickr Cosplay and MCM expo groups.

So far as I know, yes and yes. Anyone know any different as I would like to know too?
