So... I have an s100, and am wondering if any of you all out there think the x10 outperforms it in the "real world". Such as IQ, ISO, etc.

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.

neuroanatomist said:Based on what I've seen, the X10 wins on IQ factors. Also, the lens is much better in terms of aperture (f/2.8 vs. f/5.9 at the long end, meaning >2 stops better when zoomed in with low light). So, if that's the definition of real world better, the X10 is the way to go.
For me, though, the real world utility of such a camera is 'fits in my pocket'. The X10 is wider and taller, and most importantly twice as thick as the S100. Too thick for my pockets = left at home (if I'm carrying something bulkier anyway, I won't compromise on IQ and I'll just bring the dSLR).
So for me, of the two the S100 is the winner in the (my) real world.

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.kirispupis said:REP96st said:That review is Suspect..

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.

LX5 is a great camera, and rivals with the S95 back then (well, it wasn't that long ago, but still...) These two cameras each have their strengths, though I do recall that some people complain about the bigger lens of the LX5 making it too big to fit into the shirt pocket.
As for comparing the LX5 with X10, I would suspect that Fuji's product probably capitalizes on the generation difference between it and the LX5. (Though I don't think it's fair to compare the S95/LX5 with the X10, since the X10 is more of the level of advanced compact - like G12 and so. Panasonic doesn't have something in that category - maybe GF3, but that's EVIL, not a compact).
