Bro. I'm in the same boat as u. I've asked the same question a few posts back. General consensus would be new x100 should be around RM2.5k - RM2.6k range with memory card and Fuji original case.

I'm now holding off my temptation and waiting for x100s cos with the improvements and newer features, I don't mind to pay a bit extra.

Why worry so much on the technical aspect of a camera (fast AF, iso performace, focal length, *megapixels* well my Leica M8 just have 10.3mp, blablabla). I know I don't  hehehe
Just focus on your composition and learn more about lighting or if you want a reliable focusing system there is such thing as manual focus *just sayin* 

Who needs the X100s when the X100 is already a-no-complain-camera for me.  Unless if i seriously bust the camera up bad.

Anyways here are some recent shots from my beloved X100

My new baby.
(Taken with my X-E1 + 35MM F1.4)



This snapped by my X100S. ISO performance seems much better than my previous X100.


Got it for RM 3550 from YL. Includes free screen protector, 8GB Class 6 card, and leather case (similar with X100).

I have both the X100 and X-E1. The body is about the same for both but the 35mm is much bigger than the X100 built in 23mm.

Use your nego skills to talk with them lah.
Thanks. Do join the club soon. Fujifilm Malaysia Facebook mentioned release in March. But I got it yesterday, so technically pre-release? Haha
Yeah. But Fujifilm has skimped on packaging. My previous X100 came with a wonderful velvet wooden box. But of course, the X100S sensor is ground-breaking so it more than makes up for the poor packaging.
Agree with you bro. It's more or less the same. Only thing certain lenses on the X-E1 make it bigger.
Size is not the factor bro. Performance is. The X100S AF is wicked fast and next-generation X-Trans II sensor is bleeding edge technology.

However, I do prefer the lense quality of the 35mm whereby its freaking sharp even when shot wide open at F1.4. The built-in 23mm on X100/X100S loses out in this.

The X100s has the latest generation X-Trans sensor which is an improvement over the X-E1 but I suspect its mainly the inclusion of the phase detect photosites on the sensor itself. Picture quality should be the same between the X100s and X-E1.

The new MF and faster AF of the X100s is certainly tempting but not enough to make me part with my X100 just yet.

However, to choose between the X100s and X-E1 is different but also more difficult to choose. The X100s is more compact but the X-E1 is more flexible.

I do love my X-E1 with the 35/1.4 but sometimes I prefer the wider 23mm of my X100.

I suppose you need to decide what focal length you prefer and whether you need the flexibility.

If you're ok with a fixed 35mm lens then personally I would choose the X100s over the X-E1. Then you can buy the X-E1s/X-E2 when its released.... 

I helped TS change the title actually, since haven't been updated after so long. We also need an owners list!

And someone asked for a comparison between X-E1 and X100S earlier right? Here it is.


** sorry for the poor quality (snapped by my iPhone 5). **

newbie to photography.... am i right to say the x100s is competing with the sony rx100 ?

Thanks, might pair it with the X100S eventually. 
Yeah, the X-E1 doesn't have the optical viewfinder so it save a lot of space there. And if you pair the X-E1 with pancake 18MM lens, it will really look like X100S. 

On the AF in the X-E1, after the firmware upgrade, it's much better now.  I don't have any more problems focusing in low-light and speed is acceptable. And after using the 35MM F1.4 for some time, the 23MM lens in the X100S let me down in sharpness.  Need to reduce aperture in order to get sharper close-up shots. 

Geek, get x100s la. More classy

No comparison there. RX100 is left in the cloud of dust, crying.  
Nice. Second owner in LYN for the X100S!    Welcome welcome.

Mind telling the details of your package and where you bought from for others' reference?
Actually, am now thinking of selling off my X-E1 + 35mm f/1.4, and going to keep the X100S as the main daily camera.
