comment Does specialty film scanner software provide any real benefits over bundled applications?
You talked about the number of steps required to get the scanning job done. But other than that are there any benefits specialty softwares have over bundled ones? (from output quality, time required etc.) I've just started shooting film and am still new to developing and scanning so I wouldn't be the best person to judge the stuff I got now (after all it may be something that I got wrong as opposed to a problem with the scanner or software)

comment What retro design, compact-sized digital cameras are there?
Actually the Canon AE-1 Program is 30 years old. :) The M8 is still out of budget, but the Epson does look interesting. It even has the shutter cocking thing, the problem lies with actually finding a decent one.

comment What retro design, compact-sized digital cameras are there?
@mattdm I was actually hoping that people would point me to other possible cameras, like the Epson R-D1 from @Imre, which looks interesting. Though I think I'll edit my question to allow for possible responses addressing my concerns with the X100. @eWolf The $1500 is actually the budget range I had in mind. I would have sapped up the M9 if it's within that range, or maybe even if it's $2500.

@labnut Well I wouldn't mind a smaller viewfinder if not for the fact that I'm hesitant about its ability to let me focus quickly. Unfortunately none of the photo shops here (Perth, Australia) have the X100 for rent (nor do I expect them to), so I can't really tell whether it'll be a hindrance.

comment Can manual focus be faster than autofocus?
Definitely. As long as you're not using one of those lens with really tiny focusing rings. Also this article might be of interest to you: erickimphotography.com/blog/2011/03/…

comment What Canon lenses do you suggest for wedding photography on a tight budget?
@Robert Koritnik Lens rental services aren't that uncommon in countries such as America or Australia (where I'm from). There are web-based companies that specially deal in lens rental, and there are also camera shops that rents out equipments as well. I don't think ShutterBug's advice is irrelevant even though where prk does not have any camera rental services, as it may benefit any future readers of this question.
