how does it do against the x100?
great
AF is faster with the 18, about the same with the 35
The manual focus ring on the 35 is better than the x100 but on the 18 it\'s like night and day, faster, less laggy, less jumpy, good enough for zone focusing with frequent changes. ISO seems about half to 1 stop better to me, and there is noticeably more real res. The OVF is a bit bigger on the x100 and the XP1 is about as quiet as a film leica. Frameline accuracy is probably a little bit better with the x100, buttons and ergonomics are much easier for long use on the XP1, mostly because of size.
EVF (especially zoomed in) is like watching the first landing on the moon recorded on ISO6400 film and transmitted through a Soviet satellite.
I much prefer the focus mode switch on the XP1. In the x100 the AF-S is the middle setting and sometimes I struggle to stop that tiny switch half way, whereas in the XP1 AF-S and Manual (which are the only two settings most people use) are at the ends of the switch making it much easier to quickly toggle between the two.
Lens chatter is completely unnoticeable in any environment noisier than a library.
Beware of the (alleged) blown out red channel, I think I might have already seen signs of it but I need lightroom to confirm.
