Well, the x100 is 12mp with 23mm (35 equivalent) fixed lens with some fantastic features. I have had that for almost a year and still use it.
The xp1 is almost twice the price (counting one lens) and has the advantage (?) of interchangeable lenses, incredible IQ (not that the x100 is a slouch), a bit more heft (takes it out of the pocket range), much simpler menus and generally a somewhat "better" build.
I view the x100 as a 35mm lens in my pocket... The xp1 as a "real" RF type camera to wear around my neck and be "serious" with (all much less serious than a Nikon DSLR
. My preferred lens on the xp1 is the 35mm (50mm equivalent) and I really love that focal length on a RF type camera on the street.
But I do love them both. I think you can get some pretty good deals right now on the x100 with the rumors of an x200 in the Fall.
