I've been following the Fuji X-camera story (and have been a member of this site) since the beginning and have intended to become the owner of an X100, X100s or X-E1 for some time. But financial events keep forcing me to postpone the purchase. My current goal is to own one of these cameras before the end of this year. I am fully aware of the specs of all of these cameras and have seen output from same on these forums. But what I'm looking for now is feedback from those who have either owned both the X100 and X100s or have at least been allowed to work with both long enough to make a reasonable comparsion.
All things being equal, I'd prefer an X100s to an X100 but since money is a factor, I'm trying to determine whether the differences warrant my waiting to save for the full $1299 purchase price of an X100s or jumping at the roughly $800 price of an X100 (and employing the latest firmware) as soon as I can get that together.
Of course, a lot can happen along the way: An X-E2 may be introduced and the price of the X-E1 may drop dramatically. The X-E1 remains an option (and I certainly like the camera) but the X100/X100s would give me most of what I want without the pressure of adding more lenses. And 35mm agrees with me. So, what say FujiXspot's best and brightest?
