Why mess with a winning formula? Fuji have definitely hit something with the retro styling of the X100 and X10, and are looking to release another compact in the same vien. It's smaller than the X10, with no EVF or OVF meaning it's purely LCD shooting. No details about the sensor, but the lens is less impressive than the one on the X10, although it does boast a 4x zoom and f1.8 to f4.9 min aperture range.
Compared to the X10 as well it seems some of the external dials and buttons are missing as well - e.g. the exposure compensation dial at the top, plus the AE, AF and WB buttons on the back left - but to its credit there are still two dials control dials available.
However, this all means a much more compact package - one that could possibly be carried in a handbag or jacket pocket easily.
