My thoughts exactly Armando. Love the form factor - and even the aesthetic, contrary to public opinion - but the small sensor stumps me. I want to be excited about it and I want to convince myself that 2/3" is SO much larger than 1/1.7", but the charade can only be carried for so long. I look back at my LX5 and S95 images and I constantly just wish I framed the same image with the DP2 or X100. Don't mean to incite a debate here, but just my opinion.To me, the small sized sensor is just very ... unexciting. The form factor looks great. But every time I look at difference in IQ between my S90 vs. even a 4/3 sensor, it's difficult to want to use cameras with small sensors. Hence, my significant other gets to use the S90 all the time now (replaced her SD400). The IQ of my S90 vs. the X100 is even more noticeable.
No complaints for me so far. If it looks dicey, then I defer to MF with the use of the AEL button with small ringed tweaks. Works a charm....for me anyway.If I were to get a X10, I'd hope that Fuji improved the AF speed and accuracy. With the X100, I still miss candids, because the AF is either too slow or it won't lock onto the subject.
