Upgrading from X100S to X100F / X100V - questions...

Hi,

1. Can X100F / X100V be used as a point and shoot camera? In other words, is face detection AF reliable enough so I could pull out the camera and shoot without checking the focus (a bit like the controversial Tatsuo Suzuki does)...? What if there are multiple people in the frame and I'm shooting fully open - will it pick the closest one? Or do I have to pick myself, using the joystick?

(I find AF MODE = Multi in my X100S pretty much useless; I always use AF MODE = Area and manually set the focus point while looking through EVF.)

2. Can X100F / X100V's shutter be released remotely, e.g. using smartphone app (via Bluetooth/WiFi)? My X100S seems to only support physical shutter release, which is cumbersome as hell...

Thanks!
