FujiFilm X100
Price: $1699 from Audio House
Specs: 12MP / 720p HD video / 445g / ISO100-12,800 / built-in flash
One of the most sought-after right now due to a production problem in Japan, Fujifilm’s first vintage-designed, Leica-like magnesium alloy camera comes packed with top-notch specs. Highlights, apart from its classy touch, include the hybrid view finder system and the lens. Though not interchangeable, the 23mm single-focus Fujinon len is actually equivalent to 35mm full frame so you still get a pretty wide angle.
Panasonic Lumix GF3
Price: $1099 from Courts Megastore
Specs: 12MP / 1,080 full HD video / 264g / ISO160-6,400 / built-in flash
Only six months after the launch of GF2, Panasonic has put out the GF3 to fight with NEX and PEN. Built on the GF2 platform, GF3 is simply a smaller model with improvements (like better continuous shooting speed and new Intelligence Auto mode) for the amateur photographer.
