The new X100S Fujifilm camera that is similar to one I had used in 1954 in Japan — it was a 35mm film camera. This new one is all digital — even the viewfinder. But it takes perfect photos and is small enough that one can carry it in their pocket. It is a fixed focus camera so there is no focus to do.
It is hard to get used to and to learn what all the dials and buttons are for and what happens when you push them. Some pro photographers gave up their DSLR cameras for this single camera claiming it is the perfect street camera. I am beginning to think so too.

It absolutely has the "retro" looks, and if it works as claimed it must be a joy to use. Maybe we have grown to used too using zooms.
Happy New Year!
Well it has the looks -- just like my camera in Japan in 1953 - 1956. I just have to learn how to use it. I had no idea digital would ever be more difficult than 35mm film. Digital has so many things to work out before the shutter is snapped. I am in the learning process of learning what he thing does.
