Rumour has it that Fujifilm is working on a lighter version of it’s highly successful X100. The X10 would have a smaller sensor and a significantly smaller price tag of $599, compared to $1199 for the X100. My guess is that it would be a highly successful camera. Hit the jump for the technical specifications.

The smaller camera is said to have a 2/3″ sensor, which, as PhotoRumors notes, is smaller than those found in Micro Four Thirds cameras but bigger than in the competing Canon G12. Also like the G12, the X10 is said to drop with a $599 MSRP and feature a 4x zoom lens with a F/2.0 aperture. – TechCrunch
