Probably a lot of it is just due to my lack of experience in PP especially since I only used DPP for canon. I can't imagine how I'd even begin to manipulate the canon files to make them look as organic and vibrant as fuji though. Not saying better just clearly different to my eyes. Anyway the...

Fair point. Got the x100s today and even though I have a lot of learning to do but I've already got a few pics that are just alive with color in a way that I could never get with the canon DSCF8937c by blazingstarre, on Flickr

Went for a refurb x100s in the end, was a very good price with voucher code from fuji. Should be here tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how it compares to the EOS M, very different beasts I'm sure. Many thanks again for all the advice.

Many thanks Jolyon, will look into those options for just the body. Very interesting you say the IQ is better than the original M, I've heard others say there is not a lot in it other than higher ISO abilities. I find the M very grainy over 800. I always shoot raw and use canon's own software...

Thanks for doing that Furtim :) Very interesting indeed. I think fuji recommends stopping down to f 4 for close ups. But it seems the x100 will focus closer than the m3 so that would make up the ground between the two in background blur in theory. Sooo not sure if that 2 stop difference would be...

Yes, I'm very tempted by the m3. Trouble is you can't just buy the body and its a lot of money for something that I don't know will be any better image wise than what I've got. I'm also kind of enamoured by the gritty yet sharp and three dimensional images I see from fuji and ricoh gr. Hmmmmm...

Thanks for the advice Furtim. I've heard the x100s is very soft wide open at close focus. The 22mm eos m is very sharp. I particularly like to take close up shots with a wider context. I pretty much stick to one lens so if x100 is good for close up I would be happy.

Hi, I love my little eos m and 22mm but it has its limitations so I'm looking for an upgrade. Main thing I don't like about it is the slightly plasticky unfilmlike colours compared to Fuji for example. Slow focus not tooo much of a problem for me but I'd obviously like better. Things I like...

Maybe look out for a used Hawke frontier/ Sapphire ED 8 X42 . Another good one is the Opticron HRWP 8x42 or perhaps an Opticron Countryman HD for a bit more cash. Nikon action EX 7 x 35 or Leupold Yosemite 6 x30 are both well regarded porro prisms for under £100 new. Personally I very much...
