At long last my Fuji X100 has arrived and after doing the usual pointless test shots I'm already in love with it!! Being used to noisy Dslr's I just can't believe how quiet this thing is. I will definately be using this to compliment my DSLR at weddings. Whats more the crappy pictures I just took look amazing!!! I'm so excited to take some gorgeous pictures soon. Living so close to the Lake District does have its benefits. I'm also off to Blackpool for a bit so I'm going to take it with me there. I would advise anyone who is considering getting a Fuji X100 to do it!! Its brought that retro coolness back into my life!!
Will post some photos over the next couple of weeks.

Fuji X100
For a good year or so I have been toying with the idea of buying a Fuji X100. A beautiful solid retro fixed lense camera. The idea, that I would feel about this camera the way I did about my film camera's years ago.
Although my digital Slr's are my workhorses and are very much needed, I still dont take great pleasure in the camera's themselves. So at last I have purchased the Fuji X100 which I will be recieving early next week.
If you want a good review of this have a look at the link below of Ken Rockwells review. Damien Lovegrove also has a good review below.
I did try to make my Olympus Pen as my personal camera but the EPL-1 is so plasticy it feels as though I'm using a toy at times. Although I have had some lovely images from it.
The X100 however should bring back that solid feel that I miss in camera's these days.
Its also supposed to be outstanding in low light which is always a big plus for a photographer like myself who tends to take low light images without using flash.
For the reportage side of things at weddings it would also be nice to be even more discreet than I already am.
I will be playing with the camera over the next few weeks and upload some nice pictures.
I have a good few weddings over the next couple of months but I will try to keep this blog updated as much as possible.
Here are the reviews I mentioned
