X-E1 officially announced! Here is the official announcement from Fujifilm USA and from DPReview and a preview.
Key info: Priced at US$999.95 / $1,399.95 with 18-55mm. Available in November 2012. I wonder how the pricing translates when it reaches Singapore and it's availability locally.
Anyway, finally. X-E1 is a combination of the X-series cameras so far - X10's weight, X100's size, X-Pro1's innards.

Fujifilm X-E1 hands-on preview: Digital Photography Review
The X-E1 uses a new autofocus algorithm and different sensor drive mode, which promises significantly-improved speed, especially with the XF60mm F2.4 R Macro lens or when shooting in low light. Indeed Fujifilm claims the X-E1 and X-Pro1 now offer AF speeds competitive with benchmark cameras such as the Olympus OM-D E-M5. The 'feel' of the electronically-driven manual focus has been improved, and critically the camera now sets the aperture wide open in manual focus mode, finally allowing truly-accurate focusing using the EVF. There's also a new 3x magnification mode to assist manual focus, which should be less prone to problems with shake when using long lenses.

Fr the reports so far.....seeems like x-e1 is a replacement for xpro1 and diff is only on thr ovf which is not a big plus point for the price diff
X-E1 is not a replacement for X-Pro1; it is the cheaper version of X-Pro1... something like D3200/D7000 or 650D/7D.
Honestly, I would rather get a X-E1 than X-Pro1. Don't think the OVF is worth the extra money considering everything else is the same. I even get an extra flash.
Disclaimer: I already own a X-Pro1. Wouldn't sell it to buy the X-E1, but given the choice now I would rather spend my money on X-E1 and buy another lens with the excess.

I've the X-Pro1.
After watching the preview videos, I must say that X-Pro1 should be selling cheaper than X-E1 or at least the same.
There's really not much advantage to the X-Pro1. I'm not even sure if the OVF is an advantage. I've shot a lot with EVF-only or LCD-only cameras and they are perfectly fine for doing the job — framing.
That said, I'm not going to be selling the X-Pro1 to get this camera too.
For newcomers, definitely get the X-E1.

Hahaha...most importantly, whose AF speed?
no leh...i still feel that having an OVF is indispensable...beside we didnt lose much by getting xp1...
