I keep my fingers crossed: according to Mirrorless Rumors, Fuji will release a compact camera with a big sensor (> 1"). If true, "X30" will fit X10 / X20 line, fairly big camera with a good lens and a viewfinder. The rumor at this stage is very vague.
If true, people can choose between a very compact camera with 1" sensor (Sony RX100 / RX100 II), Nikon 1 cameras and new Fuji. Sony offers a really compact camera, and people pay premium for a small size. Nikon 1 cameras have very fast autofocus and very good image quality. The previous J models are selling on Amazon for $300 - $400, and V1 is available fro $630. For comparison, Sony RX100 is priced for $650. The selling point of rumored Fuji X30 will be UI and lens. The lens needs to be brighter than Nikon 1 kit lens. The X30 price probably will be higher than X20 and on par or slightly above Sony RX100 II. This price range is under pressure from all sorts of cameras: advanced compacts, mirrorless, and entry-level DSLRs, so the camera must to offer something valuable.
