Fujifilm Introduces a New Compact Digital Camera

Fujifilm has recently added the Finepix X100 to its line, and I am very interested in this camera: http://www.finepix-x100.com/ All the reviews I have seen indicate that it is a very well made and high-performing camera, primarily oriented toward professionals and advanced amateurs who want a camera that is very compact and flexible and who do not need interchangeable lenses.  The camera has a 35mm equivalent (full frame) focal-length lens, which serves very well as a normal-to-slightly-wideangle focal length. This camera seems ideally suited for candid "street" photography. The only cons I have read about are that the user interface and some of the ergonomics could be a bit better, but the user interface could potentially be dealt with in a firmware update.  Here is a review of the camera on the Luminous Landscape website: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/fujifilm_x100_test_report.shtml

I plan to get one of these cameras within the next year, unless something even better comes out by then.
