Hi from Seattle! I was a member on this site a couple years ago, but I guess due to inactivity, my account disappeared. Luckily, I was able to rejoin with the same username!
I joined when I got my Fuji x100s (first Fuji camera...came from Nikon dSLRs). I loved it. Unfortunately, it died an electrical death during a vacation last year. It took 5 seconds to think about focusing, and if it did manage to focus, I could press the shutter. Then after pressing/releasing the shutter, it took another 5 seconds to think about actually activating the shutter. It was a sad day/vacation.
I contemplated getting an x100T to replace it, but my brain told me to get an X-T10 instead to get the ability to change lenses. I did end up getting the X-T10 + 18-55 f2.8-4, the 27mm pancake lens and the 55-200 f3.5-4.8)
But I didn't have the connection to the X-T10 like I had with the x100s.
Earlier this year, I knew the x100f was coming out and purposely stayed away from reading anything about them. In fear of wanting to get one.
Last week, I was agonizing over what lenses to bring for my upcoming Hawaii vacation, and stumbled on reviews of the x100f....dang...game over.
Phoned my local camera shop on Thursday and they happened to have two silver x100f in stock! Put one on hold and went that afternoon to get myself a new x100f! (although, I did spend the Thursday night/Friday researching whether to get the x100f or the X-T20...and ended up deciding to open up the x100f and keep it on Saturday.)
I feel so much better being able to bring the x100f to Hawaii with me instead of having lens decision agony. So liberating!
