The press release of the Fujifilm X100S is available at Fujifilm UK. The link was posted by Fujirumors.The official announcement probably will be on Monday.
The cool things: new(!) "16.3 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor and EXR Processor II, which together increase resolution by approx. 25% [over Fuji X100] and reduce noise by more than 30% [over Fuji X100]. So, there is a new X-Trans sensor. Fujifilm did some magic and according to the press release a lot of details are visible at f/16. At that aperture value the diffraction eats some resolution in X-Pro1 with the first generation of X-Trans sensor and previous image processing. The electronic part of the viewfinder is upgraded to 2.4MP. The camera got the hybrid autofocus system ("world's fastest"), focus peaking and image splitting for better manual focus. The 23mm f/2 lens is "specifically designed for this model" but it contains 8 elements in 6 groups as X100. The lens focuses up to 10 cm in Macro mode and has 3x ND filter. The Q (Quick) menu is added to the camera. The video is updated and "the X100S can shoot at 60fps (!) during Full HD video recording (1920 x 1080)". I want to see the sample images from X100S and comparison to Fuji X-Pro1 / X-E1 cameras.
Very impressive upgrade from the X100. At least some features probably will migrate to Fuji X-Pro2.
