I'm thinking about buying a new camera. I'm enamored with the Fuji x100s. What I really want is a super fantastic point and shoot. Which means I want to take high-resolution files in something that weighs as much as 5 tissues. I hate lugging around a DSLR. I love my DSLR, I just hate carrying it out in public. It's heavy and people get all self conscious when you pull it out. Even my cats run for the hills. And on the flip side, I hate my point and shoot. It takes all super sharpened unusable high resolution pictures. I carry it with me everywhere, but I never take it out because I know I'm going to hate the quality of the photos.
I really enjoyed shooting with my phone when I was on Instagram. I shot every single day and I loved it. I always had my phone with me and it was easy to take photos without drawing a lot of attention to myself. Granted the photos were technically bad, but they are some of the most narrative pictures that I have taken. I don't think they are amazingly creative, but they capture the moments really well. If I could capture the moment and have a fantastic, high-resolution photo, I think I would be in heaven.
The x100s isn't cheap. $1299. And it might weigh a little more than 5 tissues (not much more mind you). But I think it will bring back my love for photography and I am seriously missing that right now.
(Plus, look how cute it is. And it has my initial right there on the corner. How can I not get this camera?)
UPDATE: It didn't take me long after writing this to order the camera. I ordered from B&H which is closed until September 29 for a Jewish holiday. Plus the camera is on back order. Ugh. Waiting is making me nuts. I am really craving this camera. I already have pictures lined up to take with it. You'd think I didn't have a bag full of camera equipment right here.
UPDATE: I cancelled my B&H order and ordered from Unique Photo because they had it in stock. It arrives tomorrow, 8/3. I can't wait!
