LOL... Good points ! Well (and Kevin sorry about that) but I "shoot moving children". And still ones, too. And dogs. I understand there will be limitations (maybe even serious ones) with that camera. If I decide to pass on the deal, I'm gonna keep agonizing over it for a while...I guess if I can be happy with the overall performance of the X10, the X-E1 couldn't be *that* far off ....
Well...the X10 has convinced me that some sort of Fuji X body is in my future. Of course something to remember is that it's easier to overlook things that don't suit you in a $350 camera than a $1200 one. I know the more I pay for something the more critical I am of it. I think it's a great camera and more than a few times I have thought about getting one. The IQ is superb and if you can live with the limitations (and all cameras have them) then I agree the risk is pretty small. BUT...AF speed has been THE thing that you have come back to again and again and it seems to be what ultimately the thing you are missing/wanting. If the NEX7 had fast AF would you still be looking at the Fuji?. If I had to guess AF speed and DOF are the main two things you look for in a camera. Mind you I'm not saying don't buy the XE-1 I'm just saying you should try one out (if even just in a store) before you buy it because fast AF is not something that any of the current Fuji X bodies (the interchangeable lens ones is known for). If the X100s had a FL you liked better I think you would have grabbed one because of the promised super fast AF. If that's the case I would say be sure about the AF on the XE-1 before you commit to buying one unless you have the opportunity to return it.
However I also know that sometimes you just gotta scratch that itch. So I look forward your reports on the XE-1 because it'll be very helpful to me in sorting out if I want to make that jump later on.
