Just got the X100s for Christmas and I have to say, it's a blast to shoot. Still learning the camera as I come from a Nikon background. Do any of you have a .jpg setting that you usually shoot, or do most of you just shoot RAW and process later? Looking forward to seeing what this camera can do!
Its an awesome little camera, mine is an X100, never had an issue except the shutter on the electronic viewfinder got jammed after about 3000 shots on one trip to UK, fuji fixed it free of charge. still love it
some recent ones I took through the window of a plane
At first i didn't really like how fuji x100s converts to BW, but its growing on me after some tinkering (all in LR 5.2), here are some examples. I do like the tones came out on number 1 a lot, now how to replicate this..
Thanks Unravel!
Your b&w pics are crazy, I like such b&w conversion - those blacks are awesome. I'm not usually that 'brave'...
Here's more from Bruges.

How else to complement a new ricoh GR but with a fuji x100s (don't tell these guys, but i do like the ricoh better!)
Following diglloyd's raving review I was really close to buy the new Ricoh but decided to go for Fuji x100s instead - a happy x100 owner (had to sell it last year to finance a 5dm2) I knew I'd fall in love again (with "s" that is). I was right… May be it's a wrong thread to discuss Ricoh but you seem to like your x100s and still like your GR better. Why?

I cant see to get use to the EVF. I borrowed a friends Sony for a day and struggled with the EVF in bright daylight.
I will probably rent a X100s and see how the OVF works. I hope that I can adjust to the EVF. I just couldnt see the focus change with the EVF and with Aperture opened up things seemed to be washed out
The photos I took with it seemed ok for the most part, guess I am just used to a Dslr finder

I think its just my style of shooting really, im very much run and gun and ricoh's ergonomics + snapfocus take it above fuji x100s in that respect. I think just youtube Daido Moriyama work with a ricoh and you'll see why the same wouldn't work as well with a fuji. However, for more deliberate work (or high iso) Fuji is superior, given OVF/EVF and output that in my completely anecdotal evidence appears to be overall slightly higher IQ. I think both have their uses as complimentary in my collection. I'm eyeing sony a7 and if i get it and love it, then fuji x100s might really be threatened. Until then...

Thanks unravel! I was surprised when Daido Moriyama switched from a 18x zoom compact (a Nikon I recall) to a fixed Ricoh GR. Though, he is the man, and the snapfocus must be very handy for what he does. "Any camera is fine!"
