I just took a family vacation to Disney with nothing but my X100S and cargo shorts.  The X100S is pocketable.  Period.

As an owner of a real Pentax MX, I would like to love this camera, but I just can't get interested in anything smaller than APS-C.

I will keep my 5D3 for duties like professional shoots, sports, tele, wide angle, and ultimate IQ when shooting deliberately.  But for family candids, street, and general walking around, my X100S...

Awesome! All three of these guys rule!!

No actually the poor are not getting poorer. It's just that they suffer from crippling jealousy. Meh.

Are there any improvements to AF performance with faster lenses? Not that it really needs it, just wondering if I should bother with this update.

I'm using the Op/Tech D-Compact: http://optechusa.com/soft-pouch-digital-d-series.html It does not offer total moisture or dust protection as it is not sealed - just a flap with snaps.  But it is...

Yeah but where would you put it?  I set my Fn button to ISO and I'm happy.  It's quick enough.

Thanks Gas Guy.  Indeed the X100S would be great for street as it is silent, inconspicuous, small enough to fit in a loose pants pocket, high quality, has a fast lens, and traditional manual...

Thanks Len.  Cheers.

Here is a funny commentary of our hobby... I emailed this to the boy's mother and she replied "Cute, thanks!"

Oh lighten up Len.  I have been that chump at the amusement park schlepping the DSLR around, so I know it's a drag with kids and in the heat. There was a time when a DSLR was required for top image...

We flew to Tampa because we were also going to Sarasota after Disney.

Thanks.  I'm quite fond of that one myself.  Too bad it's not my kid!

No, I would just crop. Or buy an XE-1. 50mm feels like tunnel vision to me, too often. 35mm better captures what I see in front of me, and tells a better story, IMO. There is a reason the iPhone is...

Thanks.

Thanks. Truth be told, the ultimate Disney setup would be an X100S in one pocket and a Ricoh GR in the other. There were several occasions where I could have used a 28mm lens, but hey I still came...

Seriously. I was chuckling to myself at all the chumps schlepping DSLRs around the park, which of course would have been me!
