Rationalization is starting to get a real hold on some of us/me. It uses the same batteries as the X10. That's a good reason to think I should buy one.:tongue:

I didn't like the feeling or controls of the RX100ii. I may be one of the only folks who felt this, however that was my reaction as soon as I opened up the box. I have succumbed to the feeding frenzy here at this great price on Amazon. My basic black 007 FujiXF1 is en route thanks to Luke's affiliate link, and I promise to report back on my own take. I'll know pretty quickly if I think I made the right decision, for me. Fingers crossed!
I'm not sure what Rico/flysurfer would think of this review, however I found it quite helpful: Fujifilm XF1 Review Perhaps some of you will, too.

BB, that's how I feel about the RX100ii. And too pricey. Sony needs more competition on the 1" sensor point and shoot category.
I have a brown XF1 on the way. I asked the missus to pick the color given that this is "her" camera. Red was the first color to be eliminated. She chose brown over black because it was more "unique."

Really!
Yes ... I just did it. $750 vs. $279. Plus, the RX100ii just didn't feel good in my hand. I'll probably regret it at some point. But hopefully, the RX100ii will be a whole lot cheaper by then!

Good. We'll all get to give our reactions. The brown and silver is very tasteful. Can't wait to see what "the missus" thinks, Armando.

I asked her what case she wanted. She'd mentioned the binocular style case before. But now she likes the "ever ready" cases. http://www.amazon.com/Rainbowimagin...1379963892&sr=8-1&keywords=rainbowimaging+xf1

I have a small flask that is the same brown and silver. I hope I grab the right one when I go to walk the dogs this fall.

I hope you refill the right one!! The XF1 is not waterproof. Or booze-proof!

BBW,
Yep I read that review prior to my purchase
Edit: I may go back & get a brown one! (back-up of course)

Luke, I want a photo of the two together. Maybe you can put some black tape on your flask?
P.S. Oops, RT - I'd missed your post. So great minds think alike, eh? I can't go quite as far as ordering a second camera, though.
I will say that I bought the Fuji Soft Fitted case...for $45. It reminded me of my former Leica case for my Panasonic LX5.

It's so ridiculous that the black fitted case is $45, but the brown and red ones are $22. Supply and demand I suppose.

I hadn't even noticed!! I would gladly by the brown one - maybe I can switch it?:idea:
P.S. Nope it's $49 in brown and $46 for red. So strange!

Well, Fuji fever is catching on. I just ordered a brown one, with the soft brown case (but the MegaGear version for $25) and an extra Fuji-branded NP-50 battery (still only $15). So we're all in this together!

Maybe the XF1 owners can surpass the Ricoh GR club?
