I think a lot of the people who regret selling their X100 DID sell it to get a newer version. As many operational warts as it had, that first X100 had something special about those files that I think was at least partially lost with the X-Trans iterations in the S and T models. Once I moved on to the RX1, I got over any regrets about getting rid of the X100, but I shot quite a bit with the X100S when it was first released and, except for a couple of pretty big operational improvements, I didn't see anything there I didn't like as much or more with the original. And that was after owning the X-Pro for a year or more, with the X-trans sensor. I think the original X100 will go down as kind of a flawed classic, but a lot of the originals will probably outlive anything Fuji has released since, which has all been replaceable with the next iteration with no loss of quality or character. Actually, there's a different look to the X-Pro and XE-1 files than there was to the XT1 and XE2 files, as well, so I'm probably wrong about that too.I've seen way too many people regret selling their x100 to even consider selling mine - unless it would be to buy a newer version!
edit - I see that Dean beat me to the punch on that one...
