It is much more controllable than the X100.
I love the lenses on it, I got the 35mm f1.4 and 60mm f2.4 so these behave as equivalents of 50mm and 90mm on a FF camera.
The lenses are tiny, beautifully made and very sharp.
I would like a wide zoom 12-24 f4 when it is released next year.
I have bought a Kipon adapter to allow me to use my Nikon glass on the camera but this is really a less than perfect solution as you lose AF and auto exposure as you need to stop it down for the camera to get the correct eposure.
The 16MP CCD is super just eough pixels without being too many. It is very similar at high ISO to the X100 so I can use it in low light.
AF performance in better than the X100 but not as good as a DSLR. Once you understand the AF limitations then you make allowance and can work around it with MF or prefocussing.
Exposure control is great, I have not had any badly exposed images at all. Some might need a tweak but nothing more than a stop.
The IR performance is similar to that of the X100 so even at ISO3200 the shutter speed/aperture combo is 1/20 @ f4 so it is tripod land.
There is no eyepiece adjustment so you have to buy screw in eyepiece lenses if you want adjustment. The eyepiecel has no lock so the eyepiece can unscrew very easily. I have already lost my one after three days! It makes no difference as the one that comes with the camera is a blank but it needs to be LocTited in! I will get a replacement old style 19mm (off a Nikon FM or the like ) to replace it. Note the size! The new Nikon size is 22mm.
