The only full frame camera that's around the size as the x100/x100s is the Sony RX1... and that bytch is like 3 stacks without a viewfinder

Its not really more zoom your just only seeing the center of the picture.
It really doesn't matter at the amateur level though, even professional level unless your shooting sports or something where you need crazy fps.
My next camera is going to be a nikon d800 or a hasselblad 500cm. Im kind of leaning towards the hasselblad because I wouldn't really be taking it outside the studio and Medium Format > Full Frame.

I got a Nikon D3100 for sale if anyone is interested
copped it cause I wanted to start shooting as a hobby, but never really had any desire to do so.

It is more zoom, just not more MM/distance you get a zoomed subject. I can frame what I want with my 100% view finder, and not have to crop later. with a full frame I will have to zoom as far as I can and then crop the picture to get it how I want it if I were to be limited by the lens. which can suck when trying to capture a humming bird, the details wont be as great with a full frame croped picture vs a crop sensors if they were the same MP, I go to the zoo a lot so I get more distance then I could ever with full frame, I need the fast fps for BIF plus its good for kids sporting events, I have a lot of nieces and nephews
You get closer, which is good unless you want to do landscapes, then you will be really limited with a crop sensors, unless you get like a 10-22mm lens. Also prime lens can be a pain to use if they are too long 75-100mm, you are pretty much stuck to portraits, not to many group shots indoors. There are pros and cons with both.
Note: not saying closer is better, you compose your shot how you see fit, but for me I would much rather be limited on the short side than the long

If you took the pic with the full frame and cropped it...you probably would still have a better resolution picture than than the non cropped version on a crop sensor. (depending on what cameras were comparing)
I get what you are trying to say though and for you its less work and makes things easier. Oh and by the way if you ever use live view you can zoom in more (by enlarging the image in the live view window) while your shooting.

Man y'all some experts in here 
I don't have a camera yet but I'm thinking about investing in one. Picked up a lot of game form lurking in here

Highly considering the Fuji x100 after seeing the pics it takes.
The only double edged sword is that it isn't m4/3 or interchangable. I do enjoy the flexibility of lens and a zoom. Any other thoughts on the x100 is appreciated.

What are they going for used?
It took me a minute with fixing this pic...I took a few with her on the brooklyn bridge at like 11:30pm...took some pics, mostly with the flash. This was one of the few without the flash and I liked it the best, but was dark as fuk. Had to deal with some color and exposure issues editing with this one.

Another NEX shooter on the team...
I have the 5N. I would have gotten the 6 but it wasn't out when I went on my honeymoon. I was thinking about selling the 5N and even getting the 6, but with all the rumors of the next successor for the 7 by the end of the year I just said I'll chill. And yeah I have the Sigma 30mm, it's a nice sharp lens. Even at 2.8 it's sharp.
That Zeiss is too much for me though, can't drop that much on a lens when the body was only like 478 when I copped. But that shyt takes lovely pics. You'll rarely need flash with that one. I would recommend the 50mm 1.8 lens too. Great in low light conditions.
I'm thinking about selling my NEX-3 and at least getting a 5 or something. I can't even remote trigger the shutter with this thing. But its still a good camera and the resale should be decent.
But that's all on the photographer. That's @spinoza and his style + editing. You coppin the camera aint gonna make your pics look like his.
btw, this pic came up on tumblr and looks like some shyt spinoza would take (NSFW)

Dope pic but thats my old style, looks like an outtake from a weekend video. Im switching it up though and going less pop/tumblr and more fine art. I'm trying to be in magazines and in art galleries. Its all about finding the perfect balance.
This guy is my fav photographer right now
