Stupid high prices. one in the grey market here in Oz for $1599. I do not think I am going to pay that much for a bridge camera, no matter whether it has an X in front of it or not. That is just insane.
There is a review (the first?) at Neocamera. It is fairly comprehensive although it contains a couple of errors and several typos.
Its weather sealed???????????
SOLD!
Sadly, that review site is wrong. Nowhere in the Fuji specs does it say that the camera is weather sealed. Oh well. It does say that it can operate in 10-80% humidity and not get any condensation, but thats hardly the same thing
And DCW has it for $829. Still too steep for me :-/
I reckon the lowlight shots will just look like those from the X10. Internally (sensor, processing and functions), the cameras are very much the same. Let's hope for better weather, so I can actually go outside and photography something worthwhile. I'll definitely take the X-S1 to Singapore and Bali, where I'll do the shooting for my upcoming book about the X-Pro1.
799 seems awefully steep for a premium bridge camera. On paper it looks better in some ways than the best that Panasonic or Sony offers, but just not that much more. I think I mentioned it before, I'd be more interested in a larger sensor more conservative size zoom bridge camera with a faster lens.
