Nice camera. However...
5
All the good things you read about this camera are true. However, it did not work out for me. I bought this camera because it reminded me of my father's Leica M3 which I used for 20 years. I wanted a range finder camera with today's technology, and I did not want to pay Leica prices for it. I thought the X100s is the one. The reason why this camera did not work out for me is as follows:
- I wear glasses. So my eye sits at a distance from the viewfinder. I found the viewfinder too small for my eyes and my glasses. I had to move my eyes around the viewfinder to see the peripherals of the internal display. This was annoying. I never had this problem with my Leica M3 or the few SLR's I worked with.
- The camera was too small for my hands. I had to handle it using my fingertips. Again, I never had this problem with my SLR's.
- Battery is too weak. This is a complaint shared by others on this forum as well.
In the end, I think you need to try this camera out for yourself to see if you like it.

The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
