Agreed. The X100s is getting the X-Trans Sensor that the X-E1 already has. I don't see how that equates to the X-E1 being obsolete. Two totally different cameras.

as stated above, the new X100s features a new updated Xtrans II CMOS sensor with dedicated phase detection pixels as well as a new, faster, more powerful EXR II processor. having only just received my new XE1  one month ago to the day after pre-ordering & having waited  since late sept. for its release, i can't say that i'm very impressed.I would have  rather that fuji delayed the launch of XE1 to incorporate  their latest advances in what is essentially a brand new product, esp in regards to improvements in focusing speed.

below are some excerpts from fujifilm on the  x100s-

The X100S features FUJIFILM’s newly-developed 16.3 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor

The excellent sensitivity of the X-Trans CMOS II sensor is coupled with the new EXR Processor II’s advanced signal processing capacity, which can reduce noise by more than  30% compared to its predecessor.

The World’s fastest Auto Focus and High-speed EXR Processing

With built-in Phase Detection, the X100S offers the world’s fastest AF speed of just 0.08 seconds.  The Intelligent Hybrid AF can switch to Contrast AF, dependent on the demands of the subject or scene, to ensure that the camera always auto-focuses quickly and with precision.

The EXR Processor II delivers processing speeds twice that of FUJIFILM’s previous generation processor
