greyelm, for a moment I thought we were on Mark Twain's Mississippi! I'd love to know more about Turks Pier, and in the meantime - welcome to Serious Compacts! What a beautiful overcast day...the river boat's stacks look beautiful against that glowering cloud filled sky.:
There were a number of quite interesting new cameras announced or released recently. Maybe that is why the X100 got a little less attention. I picked up an EP3 with kit and 12mm lens myself and think it is an excellent tool. However, when comparing the file quality between the two, the X100 is in a different league. I believe the sensor/lens combination of the X100 still has no equal among the compact systems available or soon to be available. Have a look at dpreviews updated samples with the a77 (NEX7 sensor) and compare them with the X100, be it jpegs or raws. And don't forget to close your mouths as your jaws are going to drop, but not because of the Sony's performance.
And of course, the brilliant OVF makes shooting such a rewarding and pleasant experience. The only digital camera with heart and soul of an analog one, next to the M9 that is!
You should actually be pleased; you've reached the "golden age" for your camera. The initial hysteria has died down. It is less of an object of gear lust. The X100 is now just a camera that exists solely to make images with. Enjoy it before it before history (read: the internet) consigns it to the status of "perceived obsolescence".
