My X100 (1st gen, not X-Trans) is still my go-to camera for fun. My best photos were taken with that one (and my Sigma DP2, a long time ago).

I bought another X100 a few years back, which I still have not opened, to take over for when my first one dies.

It's interesting how many people have made that comment. I wonder why?

For the DP2, the answer is simple: the SOOC files were unusable, but with some work, the colours and details were just wonderful. I worked on the files a lot, which lead to great images.

For the X100, it's just really nice to use. I never tried the newer ones, but yeah, maybe the relative slowness plays a part. The fixed focal length also, and the great film simulations.
