Fuji X100 Finepix or something else?
 

I am tempted to get this when it comes out because I am finding my current camera is drawing too much attention to me when photographing on the streets. Is there any other camera similar to this either digital or film? I like the retro styling and like the idea of a fixed fast lens. If I was loaded I would buy a leica :-)
I don't mind buying a second hand film camera but have no idea what to look for in either compact or rangefinder format.

This is the Fuji I am on about :

The Fuji HS20 looks quite promising too Karen.

Just been reading about it, its got some nice specs. The other two I've looked at are the canon G11 and mamiya 7ii or even a lomo Lca. I just want something smaller and less bulky than my current set up.

I'm a big fan of Bridge cameras (and I love my little Fuji S8000fd), simply in the ability to swiftly switch from Macro to Zoom when out in the feild. Little delay in comparison to changing a lens while doing your very best to ensure dirt does not enter the camera in that process. The zoom capacity without the weight and obvious presence of a long lens also has advantages, so I hope the larger sensor in the HS20 will mean better quality shots in zoom mode, and help to counteract the major benefit for using a dslr with a larger zoom for wildlife shots. I eagerly wait to see the reviews, and if Fuji would like to send me one to test it out, I would be more than delighted. :)
