Well...the X100S went back....the search for great IQ continues....

Oh man...the X100S, while a fine camera in many respects, just didn't float my boat IQ wise...it was "almost" there....but it took too much effort to draw "L lens" quality out of it.
The search continues. I'm trying to decide on on of these three:
Sony RX1 (comes today from Adorama for a try out)
Sony RX100 M2
Sigma DP3.
All of which have great IQ.
If I could have had their IQ in a camera like the X100S I'd never buy another camera again.
I'll let you know how the RX1 goes in the next day or so. So far I'm pretty psyched.
here is a review and some quotes:

The Sony RX1 is a compact camera that beats Leica and Hasselblad for image quality.
$2800 may seem a lot for a compact but that is before you see the images.
The Sony RX1 truly offers image quality in the league of a Leica M Type 240 outfitted with Leica 35mm / f2.0 Summicron-M.
That kit costs $10,000.

I spend too much time taking photos to worry about what 1% one cameras better bit has over another cameras better bits

I guess you're lucky in that regard.
Myself? I hate spending the time and effort to take an image and then have the quality be sub par....it drives me nuts. If I wanted to take blurry photos I'd buy a WalMart point and shoot and be done with it.
If there is going to be a bad image, I'd like it to be my fault, not the gear's fault.

It's as much about the person behind the camera, in fact much more so than what the person is using

Every single photo taken in the link you posted for a flipping expensive canon compact could have been taken with almost any other camera from £100 to £1000 at the same time and no one could have told them apart.

I agree to a point. good gear doesn't fix bad photography...but I never said it did.

I guess if you think that...fine...I disagree.

Comparing image quality with cameras in that price range is like splitting hairs.

Exactly, it is like taking five cars from five manufacturers all at $20,000 some will offer better on say road holding another longer guarantee etc
I have Canons and Nikons, both have their strengths and weakness.
My canon way way outshoots the Nikon on the buffer allowing for many more continuous shots in sports, the Nikon however locks on faster, but "overall" neither is "better" than the other, horses for courses
