I know, inflammatory. But I really feel it's about the perfect combination rangefinder-ish DSLR-sensor camera, and that lens is sooo sharp. The only downside is the battery life. It keeps letting me down, so I have two extra batteries at the ready. And they're only $15 on Amazon so it's not that big of a deal.

Tack sharp pictures, super low light, wonderful in black-and-white, what's not to like? It's NOT a camera to catch running toddlers (at least without pre-focusing) oh but Fuji fixed the focusing quirks and now you can really focus quickly by hand, and the digital split-screen plus zoom is a killer feature.

A++ and I'm so happy I bought one.
