i already own samsung nx1000 but im unhappy with the colour reproduction that is my first camera
and most of the time,about 95 percent from my shot is taken is wide angle which is at 20mm and i think this x100s with 23mm is actually will suit my needs as the difference is not that much.
zooming while taking a picture make the photo horrible. nuff said. u cant the actual representation of what u see with ur naked eyes.thats why my shot with the nx1000, i rarely use the zoom function.
and im quite worry if i buy this x100s,i will miss shots as i need to compose and think first before taking the shot.
and also taking picture from a place that limit ur movement from a high rise building and behind a glass wall which also limits ur capability to use feet movement as replacment for a zoomless camera
if you worry about things like 'ohh, i need to take that building or subject, but something is in my way', then surely X100s is not for you, you might just poisoned by the camera appearance...
Then talking about getting XE-1, is either 18-55mm kit lens or most probably the 35mm lens, so if getting the 18-55mm lens, is much a superior lens than other kit lens as it aperture opening is much bigger than others, but in the end you might be thinking the lens is still 18mm to 55mm, still the same range from what you get from other C&N kit lens, wide not wide enough, tele not very tele end. But in the end it really depend on what is your shooting style
samsung NX1000 is a beginner model, dont blame the camera for not giving good result, say if you finally get the X100s in hand, then you might just asking why the picture is not what you wanted or something and say i cannot zoom with my X100s, so i shoot something like this and etc. So live with what you have in hand or else the best camera is the camera you dont have.
i basically shoot everything with my X100
