Fuji XS-1 but sized like the Fuji S9100. AA batteries.
Nishi Drew: What XF1 color did dpreview vote on?
My S9100 is still my favorite Fuji followed by my S100FS. Will probably get the XS-1 once the price drops. One thing I don't understand, however, is how a camera without a viewfinder is usable. Maybe my arms are too short. :D
I own both the S9100 and the S100fs. Both are excellent, IMHO, for the use I intended. The only things I didn't like about the S100fs were the proprietary battery (I prefer AAs - who doesn't?) and the fact that the histogram can't be set to stay on without depressing the +/- button. Otherwise, I'm quite happy. I skipped the HS10/20 units as I didn't feel there was enough improvement to warrant another purchase at that time. I'll wait for the X-S1 to come down in price a bit (and be thoroughly debugged by the early adopters). Too bad about the continued use of proprietary batteries in the X-S1.
