Love or hate. That's Fuji style.
I own Fuji X10 that shares the same sensor. EXR feature is quite nice. I'm sure XF1's internal processing will be as good as X10's. BTW X10 is hugely successful among enthusiasts. Let's see if XF1 continues Fuji trend.
Overall, the image quality is good, but it's not what we'd necessarily expect for a camera that has a larger sensor than most of its competitors. At low ISOs the Fuji XF1 fares the best, but at higher ISOs the quality and resulting print size deteriorates noticeably. Also, the camera's sensor tends to produce more demosaicing errors than competing models (a known issue from the similarly sensored X10). And while the XF1's lens is a very fast f/1.8 at wide angle, maximum aperture drops rather quickly as you zoom, falling to f/4.9 somewhere between 61 and 66mm equivalent.
While the XF1 is not meant for everybody -- there are better, more straightforward "vanilla" compacts that are easier to use and take more consistently good shots -- it's an undoubtedly nifty and advanced tool for photo enthusiasts (and not just the Fuji fanboys!) who demand something special from their cameras. The XF1 should also score big with casual shooters who not only want to attract oohs and ahhs when they carry it around town, but also want a camera that, on auto pilot, will take well-exposed shots with high dynamic range.
