S100 - http://www.ronmartblog.com/2011/11/review-canon-powershot-s100.html
X10 - http://www.ronmartblog.com/2011/12/review-fujifilm-x10-2011-point-shoot-of.html
He wound up returning the S100 and purchasing the X10.
I recently took my X10 to Disneyworld and took this gallery of photos there - http://www.flickr.com/photos/calevphoto/sets/72157628607245971/
I pushed the camera quite hard while I was there and IMHO the results are pretty indicative of the capabilities of the camera.

That review is Suspect.. Why would he use IS on a camera mounted on a tripod when it should be turnbed off? -Its almost like he wanted the camera to fail. Most manuals would tell you to turn IS off if on a tripod, correct??

How does the LX5 compare with the X10?

If you believe this is the case, bring this up to him yourself by commenting on his blog. He is usually quite responsive to rational comments. I have found faults with his posts in the past as well and have brought them to his attention.
In terms of the X10, I prefer to go by pictures taken in a real life situation rather than a review. I have taken both the G11 and the X10 to DisneyWorld. In the case of the G11 I found it did not meet my needs and took my 5D2 to my next Disney trip. With the X10 I no longer feel it is necessary to take my 5D2.
Certainly the 5D2 blows away the X10 in terms of image quality and many other features. The 7D also outperforms it in many ways and I do not intend the X10 to replace either. However for an out and about camera where I do not want to carry a lot of gear it is currently the best thing out there.

I don't doubt the performance on the X10, It has me interested as well, however upon reading the review, it reads as if he wanted the camera to fail, in my opinion.

Not a direct - or even a technical comparison - but I did have a s95 when I bought an x10. Used both of them
on a trip to Europe and when I got home I gave the s95 to my ten year old grandson.
