<p>Oh, I nearly forgot - the Fuji X100 does sweep panorama too. Here is one I took this afternoon...</p>

Hope you like it...</p>

<p>Do you feel that you actually NEED PS? I have CS4 and never use it. I do 95% work in Lightroom and the rest in either Photo Impact or things like HDR or Portrait Professional. Even the free Picasa or Irfan View can do a lot.<br>

If however you are very accustomed to PS at work, then that alone would justify in my mind buying the education version.<br>

Just my 2 cents' worth.</p>

<p>I have a mirrorless cameras to complement my Nikon D700 + D300 kit. I believe in trying to use the right tool for the right job, and love the features that each device brings to the table.</p>

<ol>

<li><strong>Fuji X100</strong> - love the full APS-C sensor and the fixed lens allows a leaf shutter construction resulting in flash sync up to 1/4000s. Also not much chance of dust on sensor as the lens is not only fixed but not a trombing zoom, which are notorious for sucking in dust. Most people have read about the quality, so I won't go into that.</li>

<li><strong>Ricoh GX100</strong> - got it some time ago, especially like the 24mm (equivalent) wide setting. I use the clip on EVF, which makes for a very compact quality camera, with full manual over-ride</li>

<li><strong>iPhone 4 </strong>- the always with me camera. Surprisingly versatile, if used intelligently. Love the built in GPS tagging, for travel work.</li>

<li><strong>iPad 2</strong> - camera is inferior to the iPhone, but expect it to be updated soon in iPad 3</li>

</ol>

<p>Of the above set, the X100 is my clear favourite. I actually like the foot-zoom (i.e. use your feet to get closer) and the fast f2 lens is just beautiful.<br>

Some pics from my X100...<br>
