In that case, why not buy a cheaper point'n'shoot? I settled buying a smaller DX-format DSLR instead (D5200). The funny thing is though, I still take D800E or D3X to travel, even though they are heavy and bulky.

Oh yeah, I'm fully aware. I make my living with the D800. But it's too heavy and cumbersome for every day use IMO. I like the idea of a digital rangefinder and the x100 gets good reviews. Fixed lens is a positive, not negative in my mind. Ideal focal length.
Can you recommend any nice point and shoots? Any I've ever used are just way too slow and manual control was slim to none. I'm not a big gear guy and barely know what's out there these days, aside from what I use on a daily basis.
