You see what Fujifilm did here, right? They've added an in-between camera to their high-end X series, right between the fun X10 and the serious X100. The X-S1 Digital Camera (Black) looks like a DSLR, but has a fixed 26x 24-624mm lens with a very fast (for this zoom range) f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide-angle end of the zoom (it goes to f/5.6 at longer focal lengths). That's a 26x zoom lens. A true wide-angle 24mm to a truly awesome 624mm telephoto and everything in between. Plus, a super macro setting that allows you to get your shot right up to 1/2" from your subject--there's hardly a photo you can't capture with this camera.
The 2/3" EXR CMOS sensor captures both high res stills and 1080p HD video at a maximum resolution of 12MP. The X-S1 has both a large, tiltable 3" LCD monitor and a sharp 1440,000-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF). Naturally, it captures RAW as well as JPEG files. Sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 12800 gives you confidence that you'll always get the shot, no matter how dim the light.
The solid construction of the X-S1 include touches like metal dials on top, a textured rubber-like finish for a solid grip, and the ability to use the built-in flash for macro shots as close as 11.8". The overall structure is designed to minimize moisture and dust.
The film simulation mode allows you to mimic the look of Velvia, Provia or Astia Fuji films, or produce gorgeous black and white images with or without filtration. You can even bracket dynamic range, film simulation, exposure or ISO sensitivity for any given situation. This camera is ready to play.

Comments about Fujifilm X-S1 Digital Camera (Black):
My shopping experience with B&H was great!!! Delivery was on time, and the product was packaged correctly and as described. Now, about the camera. The Fuji XS-1 is a marvelous piece of work. I read so many biased reviews about this camera, (and Fuji in general) 75% of the ones I read did not even have the camera in hand. . Don't believe the Fuji haters. I already have printed 11x14, 12x18, 12x24, The image quality is excellent. I dumped a good DSLR and a heavy bag of lenses for this camera, and couldn't be happier.. So don't hesitate, pull the trigger. The camera is worth the money.

I am a photo enthusiast. My primary use is taking photos during travel, family etc.
I needed quite a time, to study all the features the camera includes (still learning), but over all, I think it is worth the money I paid for it.
I like the enormous zoom range it provides, which allows picture taking far enough away for wildlife and other situations, you cannot get the scene getting too close.

Comments about Fujifilm X-S1 Digital Camera (Black):
The X-S1 can capture 95% of all shots I'll come across and it will be a long time before my photography skills will start to push the limitations of the camera's capabilities.
I like the idea of the single lens being a limitation. I'll have a great (and boarder line bulky camera) on my travels that can capture stunning images, but my temptation/need to bring other lenses will be 0.
The quality is awesome. It puts the Rebel and D5100 to shame in appearance and feel in your hands. I've found the AF to be very quick, puts the T3i to shame (both shooting with SDHC cards). The layout of the camera was very intuitive to learn, but I found myself very confused switching back and forth between a friends canon and my fuji.
Biggest and only complaint thus far, the pretend view finder. It can display a lot of good info about the current settings and allows you to keep your eye on the subject while adjusting iso/aperature/etc, and also has a focus dial (thus allowing me to shoot without glasses). But the image quality of the display is not great by any means. Using MF to shoot crisp images may prove to be difficult even as I get use to the camera. Hopefully not.
Having mentioned this, I would definitely buy this again.

Comments about Fujifilm X-S1 Digital Camera (Black):
Although the XS-1 (X-S1) is very impressive on paper, the camera didn't deliver when shooting for spontaneous situations like sports or street photography.
If you are used to a point and shoot, this may feel and shoot better than what you're used to. If you are used to prosumer or pro DSLR, then you will be disappointed - as a primary camera.
Another words, if you have the time and luxury to acclimate to it on your lea sure without the pressure of pro requirements, it would be a good, even great camera to have around. It has many cool features to grow into and exploit for fun, but it disappoints as a primary camera.
That may seem obvious, but if you're like me, I just wanted it to be primary camera, till I could get back into a prosumer or pro system. It's not that. Its for fun, travel and nature, it does not replace a descent prosumer camera.
In all my studies about the FujiFilm XS-1, I didn't then stop and do a comparison of what I could get for the same price. For me, the Nikon D5100 and even the standard kit lens (18-55 f/3.5~5.6) is better suited as a primary camera-for-now, than the XS-1.

This an excellent all-in-one camera. However,I decided that I still am a multi-lens DSLR camera guy.
Also, i have some reservations about image quality, especially at full extension.
