Hi maldito, S100 is surely a fine camera. But I afraid specs-wise it is still lacking compared to LX5's f3.3 at tele-end
vs S100's f5.9. The zoom on S100 is longer at 120mm (LX5: 90mm) though.
Fuji X10, so pretty!

I dunno the exact price but I think is around S$600-700. Sensor size is 1/1.63" only slightly smaller than X10's 2/3".
Borrow Limited's Picture on page 5:
But one thing good about X10 is the 7 fps. LX5 is only 2.5 fps while S100 is 2.3 fps.

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot should be 10fps at 6mp and 7fps at 12mp to be exact
Edit: I just checked Oly XZ-1 is 2fps at 10mp, 7fps at 5mp and 15fps at 2mp.

Lx5 cost $550 or even cheaper if you matter... ...
As for X10, i still feel that they have their market, maybe this price $999 is for the retro metal body, sensor size, the glass they use... ... if you still feel too pricey then you aim for online that cost US$599.95 less shipping which i guess will cost you 800 plus in total. Still good.

you can register at amazon as a member then you buy from there and they will ship to you. However this is not economic because the shipping fee from the online store is very expensive! What I'm using is register as a member to this company 'comgateway' they will give you a US address for your online store to deliver the item to, then comgatewy will ship the item to your singapore address, the shipping fee is much more cheaper and most importantly you can buy bulk items from different stores and deliver to this US address and then comgateway will ship to you altogether at a economic price... ... like S$15 for a camcorder size which is not utlise yet. Other company like vpost also do such stuffs for you to save the shipping fees... ...

Nice. You no good guy, making me wants to buy....actually, I waiting for the interchangeable.
ahh... waiting for the price to come out! quickly launch!
i think anything more than SGD400 will be subjected to GST.
Nice! Can use it for portraits?
The DR method used in X100 and the older DSLRs as well as compacts seems to be different. The older DSLRs use dedicated pixels for capturing DR info so resolution is sacrificed regardless of whether DR level is set to standard (i.e. non-high DR). The EXR in compacts modifies the old method that so that when high DR is not required, the adjacent pixels can be utilised to capture normal image. In X100, to get higher DR, one has to set higher ISO (1-stop higher at ISO400 for DR200, 2-stop higher at ISO800 for DR400). I suspect in the latest method Fujifilm uses some algorithm to record highlight info at lower ISO without sacrificing resolution.
The higher DR is good if you shoot in jpeg. If you shoot in raw, then I think there won't be much difference between brands for newer models. But in any case, for landscapes it is still not able to capture the full range of DR.
dun understand what you mean by "older DSLRs use dedicated pixels for capturing DR info"... is there such metadata info/tag in the EXIF?
I was referring to Fujifilm S3pro and S5pro they have S-pixel and R-pixel. R-pixel only records DR information and does not add to the resolution. You won't see it in EXIF.
