On another note, that is an adorable picture... TOTALLY smiling!
If you read my post correctly you'll see I'm not contradicting you.
I said larger formats perform better because of the lower pixel density.
You're comparing complete equals where-as the sensors simply are not equal.
Comparing equals is a complete theoretical comparison which is kind of useless in a practical situation like this (we're trying to decide which camera will perform better).
Read this article and you'll understand that smaller sensor don't necessarily have more DOF and larger sensor don't necessarily have better noise performance.
*Necessarily* It's not the format you should be choosing, but the system.
That might make sense if all cameras could only mount the lenses made for that format, and if all formats had an equally good range of lenses, but it won't as long as the APS-C system relies on FF lenses, (and smaller formats have poorer lenses). The same lens will do the exact same thing with the light, the only difference is at the sensor end. Therefore, the format matters. Also, among cameras which exist larger sensors have better noise performance.
The Fuji x10 got 5/5 stars and won the gold award over the Canon PowerShot G12, Nikon CoolPix P7100, Olympus XZ-1, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 and Ricoh GR IV. I can't seem to find the link right now but you could probably find it if you look up high end compact camera comparisons. And here's a link you would probably get something out of: Fuji X10 vs Canon S100: Point & Shoot Out
I live in Hong Kong and no shops will accept returns unless the item is faulty or broken, so I will have to live with the X10 for quite a while
