Take a look between the comparison of Leica X vario and Fujifilm X100S, the Leica X vario features 16 MP, APS-C CMOS image sensor and ISO 100-12500 on the other hand Fujifilm X100S features 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor and Expandable ISO 100-25600, take a look at the Major Specification Below.
About the sensors
A large APS-C CMOS image sensor is integrated into the X100S to provide high image quality and detail. Using Fujifilm’s unique X-Trans bespoke pixel array, the sensor is designed with a randomized pixel pattern to eliminate the need of an optical low-pass filter for reducing moiré and aliasing. By removing this filter from the design, higher image sharpness is possible. Lens Modulation Optimizer (LMO) factors are also taken into account using the EXR Processor II, which helps to automatically compensate for aberrations and diffraction blur in order to produce images with the utmost inherent sharpness. The image sensor also utilizes backside illumination technology to help with the integration of phase-detection pixels into the sensor for improved autofocus performance without affecting image quality.
Not much details available about Leica X vario uses APS-C size sensor features a resolution of 16.1MP.
Lens
Fujifilm features built-in 23mm f/2 fixed focal length lens gives a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 35mm, making it more compact and easy to carry.
Leica X vario features Vario-Elmar 28-70mm f/3.5-6.4 ASPH Zoom Lens (35mm Equiv) , it give you more range but the camera size also increases.
AF System
Intelligent Hybrid AF is a quick, responsive autofocus system that employs both contrast- and phase-detection methods, focus can be attained in as little as 0.08 second.
Fujifilm offers 42 point AF system on the other hand Leica is limited to 11 point only.
ISO Range
The combination of the sensor and processor enables a native sensitivity range from ISO 200-6400, which is further expandable to ISO 100-25600. Leica Vario X offers an ISO sensitivity range of 100-12500.
Video mode
Capture HD 1920×1080 video at 30fps, In Fujifilm X100S Full HD movie recording is supported up to 1920 x 1080 at 60fps with a 36Mbps bit-rate for clear, fluid-looking videos.
Display
Both camera 3.0-inch, wide-angle LCD monitor, which has a resolution of 920k pixels. Fujifilm X100S features hybrid viewfinder.
Verdict: Based on price and major specification difference, we highly recommend you to buy Fujifilm X100S

 Nikon Coolpix A vs Fujifilm X100S, take a look at the high-end APS-C sensor compact specification comparison and share your thoughts with us.
Sensor
Nikon uses Sensor of Nikon 7000 / D5100 DSLR ,
The fujifilm features newly developed X-Trans CMOS sensor, the fujifilm X100s sensor is completly redesigned and features Phase AF points within the sensor
so you get a approx 4 year old sensor technology in Nikon coolpix A, I don’t know why Nikon used old 16Mp sensor since it already have high performance 24Mp APS-C sensor from Sony and Toshiba.
Lens
Fujifilm features better / bright lens compared to Nikon coolpix A.
No-Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF) – Both Camera features No-Optical low pass filter.
Auto Focus –
Nikon features Contrast detect AF system, for still and video mode.
The Fujifilm X100s features Phase AF + Contrast AF (Hybrid AF), the Fuji X100s offers 0.08 second of AF Speed.
During Movie mode Fujifilm X100s Phase-detect AF effective for movie shooting.
Top Continuous Shooting Speed – Fujifilm features fast continuous shooting speed.
Video Mode
Fujfilm X100s offers you 1080p 60fps Full HD recording with Phase AF, Nikon coolpix A is limited to 30fps at Full HD mode and have contrast detect AF.
14bit RAW Support – both features 14bit RAW Support
Price Difference – Fujifilm X100S will cost you approx $250+ compared to Nikon coolpix A
Conclusion
Based on specification comparison review we recommend Fujifilm X100S.

 Fujifilm X100s features better sensor, Advance image processor and better video mode, See the detailed specification specification comparison review of Fujifilm X100s vs Fujifilm X100.
Sensor
The fujifilm features newly developed X-Trans CMOS sensor, the fujifilm X100s sensor is completly redesigned and features Phase AF points within the sensor
No-Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF) – X-Trans CMOS II incorporates an original color filter array with a highly random pattern, eliminating the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). These filters are used in conventional systems to inhibit moiré at the expense of resolution. The X-Trans CMOS II array lets the sensor capture unfiltered light from the lens, achieving an unprecedented level of resolution.
ISO – The Fujifilm X100s have extended senstivity range of 100 – 25600, X100 is limited to 100
Less Noise – According to fujfilm the test says the fujfilm X100s have more details and approx 30% less noise than Fuji X100.
