Today was my first day shooting with my new Fujifilm x100. This is such a fun camera to shoot with. I shot some ‘familiar’ shots so I compare these with some of my Leica shots.
今日x100はじめてつかいました。 このカメラはおもしろいです。
Much easier for me to get these type of ’street shots’. The one thing I love about this camera is when you shoot through the viewfinder, when you snap, you get a 1 second preview of the shoot you just took in the viewfinder. It is a very cool feature.

Testing out the bokeh on Kid Robot… you can get a pretty shallow depth of field.

The Fujifilm x100 is very responsive at night. I was shooting at is0 500, f/2 and acceptable shutter speeds with no visible noise in the photos. A lot of the reviews I have read say you can really jack up the ISO on this. I’ll need to test this out a bit.
よるもこのカメラはいいとおもいます。

First impressions after day one; a great new addition. I think this will be my camera of choice when I am out with Kai as well as it is very fast to focus and snap a nice picture.
