decodeddreams: Anyone have any thoughts or guesses on how this camera will fair compared to the Fuji x100s?
X100s not a fair comparison, I agree. But the Fuji XE-1 is closer. Larger sensor and built in VF, with only a slightly larger, but lighter body. I also prefer setting shutter speed with a dial. Glad to see Oly is competing in this segment, though.
Looks closest to the current Fuji XPro1.
Malikknows: I've been lurking here now for several weeks, trying to decide to buy an X10 or X100 (or an X1Pro to replace my old Contax G2!), and have appreciated the discussion. I'm the rankest amateur and see the merit of both critics and advocates. Certainly the orbs are both real and unacceptable and need to be remedied. Even I can see that. Very disappointing that this firmware fix failed to do so. But I also see that Fuji is trying hard to innovate, and bring new technologies to the market very, very rapidly. The pace of technological change is quite breathtaking! They are clearly listening to their customers but struggling to execute. I have to side with a company that's investing, researching and trying to innovate. Perhaps I'm too easily pleased, but I look on the X-line of products, faults and all, with wonder and great anticipation. We are right to point out flaws and demand perfection, but I guess I'd like to see more charity and appreciation for the difficulty of the task.
Definitely. Waiting for the X1Pro. Money's tight right now but I need a smaller travel camera when the Canon DSLR is too big and cumbersome.
