I don't think your question should be "How easy is it to turn the X100S into a P&S", as pretty much any camera can be set on a full auto mode and used as a "P&S".  The question you need to ask is...

Why don't you ask the publishers of the Chicago Sun-Times.  They seem to think using a cellphone camera is an excellent idea, remember?

My take on this whole ruckus is this.  When I'm shooting there are only two opinions that count, mine and the editor or person who is paying me for the shoot.  As long as I and they are happy with...

The 80-200 f2.8L (known also as The Magic Drainpipe) is an exceptionally sharp zoom lens.  It has a few faults though at this point in it's lifespan.  Canon will no longer service it should...

I have the X100s currently and as soon as sell off my Canon gear I'll be picking up either XE-1/s or Pro-1 to handle the tele end.  Planning 56 f1.2, 55-200 and 8mm Rokinon fish eye for starters. ...

I have the X100s and love the split image.  Granted as with all focusing systems of this type it works best when there's a vertical line to focus on but with the magnification function set, as soon...

Sort of puts out the fire of a prior post where the OP blamed  the camera for only getting the trunk of a moving car because his XP-1 was so slow.   Nice vintage look to your final image of a...

Other than getting stuck in this stupid thread for the past few days I really have way too much to do during my days than sit on photo boards posting replies.  Then again I moved out of my parent's...

And a good number of us who actually know how to use our gear will continue this "tirade" as the "instant gratification" generation continues to take the easy and fast way out of requiring...

Goes back to my inital post in this thread.  People spend more time complaining about what they don't have rather than learning how to use what they do have. Boy, don't ever put any of these arm...

You'll be taking several steps back and severely cropping?  Do you have any idea what you are talking about?  85mm is wider than 135mm.  You'd need to move in closer for comparable view.  That and...

Leica has no weather sealing to speak of.  I guess that makes them consumer grade. And who's isn't if you hit a flash hard enough? What, to be Pro does it need 3, 5 or 10?  Three is pretty much...

So this won't be exactly what you were looking for but I have used this lens on a 7D and T1I with a Kenko Pro 300 DG 1.4X TC with great results.  It's amazingly sharp still and AF is just as fast...

+1. I hear you there.

Not a native by any means here (Brooklyn born) but been living in the DFW area for 2+ years now.

Amen.  Best I've seen.  Even the X100 was better than what any of my Canon gear has ever produced .jpeg wise.  X100s produces gorgeous files in my mind. I've played with shooting RAW a bit with my...

Actually, I don't own an XPro-1. What I'm "moaning" about is people who still find that they need to beat a dead horse on the issues with this camera. They're well known for almost 2 years now...

I think I've figured out your problem.  It sounds like you spent far too much time actually learning how to use and work with your XPro-1's features. Shame on you for actually spending the time to...

Olympus must be hurting for sales, lol.

Only issue with the split prism was one half going dark at f5.6 and smaller.  That was a hassle.  Just had to break out the bright laser matter screen then.  Talk about knowing when a subject...
