Looking in my LR catalog, I see 1497 X100 images. Many of them are in poor light, and I would put them against an M9 any time. I am going to Paris for a couple of days on Tuesday, and because I need to travel ultra-light, I am taking just the X100. I am sacrificing some versatility wrt. focal length by doing so, but I am NOT sacrificing any image quality.
