Do what you feel fits your needs. Now with regards to your saying you are having a tough time getting sharp images with the X-T100, I don't know what to tell you because I find this camera even with the new kit 15-45 to be very sharp. So I don't know what you are or are not doing.

Now if you're referring to BIF or moving object images, then that's another story.

With regards to the new XF10, mannn different strokes for different folks, I say. You are confined to a fixed prime lens, it has no IS capabilties and has no EVF. I personally won't go near that XF10, but thats just me.

Sounds like you're wanting us to help you make up your mind?

No, I've already made up my mind and made the switch this afternoon. Been having  great fun with the XF10, taking everything in sight, and think I'm going to enjoy it. It won't be significantly better than the XT100, but it is just what I've been looking for, at least for the time being, as the X80 will probably not be available for some time. I still will enjoy my X70,  but time to go into something new, but in the same space, so to speak. Unfortunately I can't afford the X100 series, so these lower priced fixed lens Fujis will be fine for what I want. And I still have the XT10 and XA1 with several prime lenses and zooms when I need them. I just want an everyday carry around camera and think this will do me nicely for my street photography.

The XT100 was great for still objects and I have some fine photos of eagles and herons when they are not moving. It's just frustrating when I see these beautiful creatures take flight and can't capture them in all their magnificence, so to speak. And I will still be able to take photos for objects that don't move with my XT10 and 50-230 lens, which is a great combo IMHO.
