Anyone carry a rangefinder or fixed-lens camera?

I am selling my x100s referenced above for $600 with three batteries, a leather case, and a lens hood.

I've got a Canon EOS DSLR that gathers dust since I bought a Fuji X30.

Image quality is great, I can shove it under my jacket in the mountains,
& pull it out when I get the urge.

I find the DSLR spends a lot more time in the pack, & I miss out on some spontaneous pics.

The X30 has a built in interval timer too, which I find useful for narcissistic selfies while leading rock

My only complaint is the slowest shutter speed is 30 seconds, so no beautiful star-trail shots over the glacier :(

Some examples from the X30:

Fuji X30 demo 1

Fuji X30 demo 2

Fuji X30 demo 3

..oh, almost forgot. The x30 has awesome battery life.
