I don't think I'm expecting too much: My Nikon D300 (second-to last generation technology) delivers acceptable color images up to ISO 2500, and BW ready image files up to ISO 6400. The X100, being two generations newer (and using the same chip size), ought very well be better than older technology.
Ok, which compact cameras, that are not DSLRs, offer great color / ISO up to and over 6400? I can only think of one that is just good even.

As a friendly reminder, your d300 cost upwards of 2Kus with a cheap kit lens when introduced (twice as much), and iso 2500 is massively different from iso 12800. The top sensitivity of the sensor is probably only around 3200, everything over is most likely a boost. The only current DSLR which truly goes higher than that on native sensitivity is the d3s. At a cost of 7Kus or something.
From the look of those web pics, the x100 is better at high iso than my 5d. My 5d is better at high iso than my old d300. Thus, you should be safe :angel:

In terms of IQ, the only references for this camera are other APS-C products. I know the IQ of most of the Nikon APS-C cameras, but I know all others only by reading about them. Currently, I don't think this camera has a lot of competition, especially when we consider its user interface (in that regard, Sony's NEX line is a clear loser).
