Dpreview tested the X1 and here's their review:
-Autofocus distinctly slower than most
-Unimpressive battery life
-Accurate manual focus impossible (lens stops down uncontrollably)
-Low light operation relatively poor (very slow AF and screen -refresh rate)
-Live histogram unreliable, disappears when setting exposure compensation
-ISO only visible in detailed display mode; Auto ISO doesn't show selected value at all
-Click stops for control dial 'A' positions not positive enough (particularly on the shutter speed dial)
-Camera locks up completely when buffer is full shooting raw
-Electronic image stabilization of limited usefulness (only works in JPEG mode)
-Unrefined JPEG image quality
-Playback mode slow and unresponsiveConclusion: RECOMMENDED
You fucking kidding me?

- "Recommended" on DPReview is like saying "Meh". You've gotta look for Highly Recommendedgjd
- That's actually the cons list of the pros and cons. But it certainly looks like it's due a firmware upgradecomicsans

I have this, really like it. Has in-body image stabilization, so I can use my classic M-mount lenses and get image stabilization.
Sure beats carrying my big Nikon around.- I was between that one and the GF1...I like em both... pretty similar...joseprieto

I've been reading the dpreview review of the X1 this morning just to see what they think, and it gets only a "Recommended" rating.
