Durability

The build quality of the X-S1 is fantastic. It's built around a sturdy chassis with a solid heft to it, no noticeable give or flimsiness. It's not rated for any amount of shockproofing, and obviously we wouldn't drop it off of a table, but it seems like it's built to last and should be able to withstand some standard bumps and bruises.

There's no mention of the X-S1 being waterproof, weather-sealed or coldproof, so we take that to mean that it's none of those things. We have read some conflicting info about dustproofing and humidity resistance. Fujifilm's Canadian website mentions that the openings on the body are designed to prevent the entry of moisture and dust, but there's a warning in the user's manual (on page V) advising against use in dusty or humid environments. It's probably best to err on the side of caution.
