I've been using my original X100 for a few years now. I still love this camera. I am considering getting the X100s and I have a couple of questions for folks who may have used both:
- Is the X100s faster to wake up after going to "sleep"?
- Is the X100s auto-focus really any better than the X100 with upgraded firmware?
Basically my only reasons for upgrading the body would be for some added responsiveness, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Any thoughts are appreciated.
I don't remember the difference in the awake from sleep, but the AF of my X100 with current firmware seems as fast as the AF of the my X100S. It's even debatable that it's slightly faster, because the aperture of the X100 doesn't seem to dance as much, but I don't have the X100S anymore to compare, so I'll stop short of saying that.
In terms of IQ, I highly prefer the original X100, so I sold my X100S, but YMMV. I even bought a second brand new in box X100 last year, so that I have a backup, since it doesn't look like Fuji is going back to Bayer anytime soon with the X100 series.
I agree with rattymouse that the EVF is the biggest difference between the two cameras, to me. I rarely use it, so it didn't really affect my decision on which to keep.
Another thing to consider is that you gain the quick navigation menu with the X100S, but you loose the programmable raw button because of it, which I wasn't a fan of.
All of that being said, if the X100S had the X100's sensor, I'd likely be shooting the X100S instead, or the X100T, for that matter.
