Small bag for Fuji x100 - Any ideas?

Hi all,

I'm after a small, compact bag for my x100 to carry spare memory cards/batteries and protect in case of a big downpour etc. Ideally I'd like something that's reasonably smart looking, but not too flashy and fairly discrete.

Any ideas?

Billingham Hadley Digital? I'm looking at the Hadley Pro at the moment for my DSLR. They are quite expensive but the quality is very high.

They are nice, cheers. Probably a bit bigger than but worth consideration, I'll see if I can have a look at one in a store to size it up

A full case from JNK leather works?

I've got a nice half case, but I wanted a bit extra for if I'm chucking it in a bag to take on holiday and I don't want it banging around.

A crumpler cupcake might be good but still a bit big. The best bet looks to me like a Billingham Pola, but £95 seems a bit much given how small it is

It definitely appears to be a camera that promises so much in some areas but then proceeds to disappoint and annoy in others. Some still love it despite the quirks others dump it as soon as possible! I don't think I'd be able to make my mind up on it unless I use it for a while. I'd aim to buy second hand so I could sell on for little loss...

I've only just started playing with it, taking it on holiday for 2 weeks to the US/Chicago on Sunday so that will really tell me how it is.

First impressions are yes, the autofocus is slow, but the lens seems very sharp, plus the ISO performance in low light shooting is fantastic - I haven't done proper side by side comparisons but it looks a lot better than my 40D.

I basically went with one when I realised that my 40D/17-55 sits around most of the time because it's too big/bulky to carry around, and when I thought about it it's rare that I use the features that give the SLR the edge. I'm going to see how I get on with the holiday and if I'm happy I may look at an X-1 Pro or similar and sell the rest of my Canon gear :eek:
