Anyone moved from M4/3 to an X100 at all? Been thinking about getting rid of my EP2 and just picking up either the X100 or X10 but aside from a quick play in Jessops don't know much about them.
Any chance you could say where you got the voucher from?

I've heard that the autofocus is a bit of a mare, is this true?
You need to be aware of the parallax as well at close distances, there is a corrected AF frame option, but the actual point of focus will only display once you've, well, focussed, and so you may need to do it again if it's not where you want rather than recompose at close distance, especially if you're using f/2 etc. I found that I needed to use the corrected and the uncorrected frame to guesstimate where the camera was going to focus based on distance to desired point of focus. You can get it quite well after some practice, but it does not really allow a quick shot to be taken with any degree of accuracy.
Yep agreed, but it kind of defeated the object of having the optical finder for me.
Thanks for the comments re moving from M4/3 folks, its certainly something I'm contemplating is the move to an X100 or X10.
Sell up your gear and get both if you can. I did and have never looked back. The iq from both of them is stunning.
I'm not even missing my 200 or 300mm lenses. I have super macro with the x10 and fast lenses in both. I get decent depth of field and sharp detailed 100% crops from both and can fit both in my jacket pockets. What's not to like?

My girlfriend got an X10 today.
Have to say that given I now have an R-D1s, I should have probably gone for the X10.
Out of curiosity Allan which do you use more or prefer? x10 or x100
This thread needs more pics!!
