For me the Fuji X100 gives me all the rangefinder experience I need. I can see outside the camera view just as a range finder and the autofocus works decent to capture the image. I take no joy in aligning little images on top of each other.
I thought that would be the case with my X100, and I really like the camera, but I do enjoy \"aligning little images,\" I guess. Plus, I don\'t love having to trust AF without visually confirming in the viewfinder whether I focused on the correct thing (without having to quickly go to EVF mode by pressing on the thumb dial.) Either way, I\'m sticking with my X100/NEX tandem for now.
One quick flip with your index finger to the EVF gives you focus confirmation without removing your eye from the viewfinder. Another flip and you are back to OVF. A small price to pay instead of paying thousands upon thousands of dollars to align the little images.
I\'ve been shooting with my X100 for two entire years now and the amount of misfocused images is absolutely miniscule.
I know how to work the camera. I\'d still rather have a rangefinder.
