Rich have you had your X100 fixed?
The new Fuji XE1 is very similar IQ but has interchangeable lenses and cost less than AUD$1000


I'm going to pop the Fuji in to a local camera shop, but might wait till after Christmas, visiting Adelaide (Jac's family are based there) and I want a pocketable camera for that, and I can adjust the exposure as I go.

The Sony looks to be much smaller and might have a faster focus speed, but you lose the viewfinder. It's apparently usable up to ISO 3200 compared to 6400 on the fuji which isn't bad for something that small. I will wait to hold one before making any decisions, but for the size it seems like it might be a nice truly pocketable camera.

KR on his site is raving about the iPhone 5 camera, so that might be an alternative, but I don't give much weight to his opinion.
