I started a thread a while back about cameras with a proper viewfinder.

I bought a Fuji X100S. Very happy with it until it died after 3 months.
Got a refund and bought a Fuji X100T - great camera, but again, it died after 3 months.

Probably won't buy another X series Fuji(anyone want to buy a UV filter, metal lens hood and spare Fuji battery?) so what else is out there chaps?

I want full manual control over shutter and aperture too.

Budget is around the £800 max mark, would look at secondhand if from a good dealer.

Thanks

I have a Canon 5D and a number of (heavy) Canon lenses for when I need them, I want a handy little top quality camera I can just carry anywhere but still get full control.

What about an X Pro?

The outgoing X pro 1 seems to have some good deals at present and used lenses seem numerous.

Got to say though, I did like the X100

I useca D7100 with the 35mm 1.8 dx lens as the walkaround option. It has the best DX optical viewfinder on the market and the lcd autofocus points are also really nice. If I need wider I stitch two pics.
I already have a SLR, I need a "pocket" camera for walking about
