FYI - here are Thom Hogan's comments. I find him usually spot on when I can independently check what he says. His comments on the Fuji I can not check. http://www.bythom.com/index.htm

Thanks for the link Pavel. Some pretty damning comments... especially his recommendation of "skip for now" - meaning that Fuji has potentially got something awesome going, but not with the X100 in its current form. *sigh*

But the camera has an incomplete feel to it, and that mostly comes through the firmware, which means the buttons and menu system, as well as the underperforming focus system. The viewfinder, which is the center of attention on this camera, is good, but I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed in practice: the optical side isn't nearly accurate enough and the EVF side is good but not outstanding.
