Go ahead, try.

Because you have an E-P1 ?

voyager · « **Reply #2 on:** December 19, 2011, 04:48:04 AM »

It would compliment the E-P1, of course.

You are all terrible at convincing me not to buy it.

1. smaller-ish sensor
2. fixed lens
3. costs money...

Mainly the last one... other than that I think you probably should buy one.

Did that work?

It's Fuji.

it will be a distraction to your m4\3 exploits

i love the camera , but its not perfect , specular highlights bloom on the sensor , its barely noticable but when you peep its there

Got to play with a friends last week. Beautiful camera. He returned it this week! He wasn't happy with the image quality. He got the Bigger Fuji that aped the Leica M.
thanks

i think the iq is better than lx3 lx5 and other enthusist level compacts like canon s 95 oly zx1 etc , but its light years behind iq from apsc sensor cams like the x 100 "leica ape"

The X10 is one of the few compact cameras that really make sense. There is no reason to convince you not to buy it, in fact I would, if I wanted another great digital camera.

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2011, 07:52:38 AM »

I think it may be a better choice than the Olympus Compact..

panzerfaustnl · « **Reply #17 on:** December 20, 2011, 04:21:34 PM »

The fuji X10 is lovely to see, but the Olympus XZ-1 has one very cool thing, the very light sensitive lens, f/1.8-2.5, so you can shoot in very low light situations without a skyhigh iso or flash.
And the other is offcourse the artistic programs and scenery

voyager · « **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2011, 05:20:33 PM »

The orbs are a bit annoying, I hope they fix that.

panzerfaustnl · « **Reply #19 on:** December 22, 2011, 07:58:21 AM »

I have no problem with it.

Very simple you buy the x10 for it's looks, the fact that it has a viewfinder already, and the nice amount of knobs. I love knobs, in a car, on a synthesizer, camera etc.

The biggest pro to buy it, it looks like a Leica M3, so where are you waiting for.

cosinaphile · « **Reply #20 on:** December 22, 2011, 01:00:40 PM »

i bought the x10 for performance , the f2- 2.8 zoom is plenty fast , its high iso is better than ant other "luxury compact" bar none , it has great build quality, a perfectly useable if not spectacular built in ovf its has the best raw and raw options in camera , bar none its got psam a great360 pano mode a larger sensor than any luxuary compct bar none , its 599 price i think fair

one thing i do agree with is it looks good .....but thats not a reason to buy it ....
iloveknobs too on a camera on a stereo pre amp , ...on a pretty girl ....but on a serious camera knobs and buttons are essential the dials on the x10 are
as purposeful and essential as was ever put on a camera , perhaps the raw button is pushing things i admit

i think its iq is better than any compact in its class , [ when you are not shooting a bit of sun glare off auto bumper

] and that reason enough for me

cosinaphile · « **Reply #21 on:** December 22, 2011, 01:16:35 PM »

the verge review is perhaps the worst camera vid from a review site ive ever witnessed ....

it starts out cutely accurate flashing an LEICA M3 in black for comparison for 1 1\2 seconds , it says theres a learning curve and the menu is confusion
complains about to many dials whose function s are not clear ....that when i started laughing

it has the same spin and 4 way rocker type dial that virtually ever digital camera made has , im sure the psam dial confused him , i consider it mandatory the other top dial is exp comp , .....ilove this then a top fn button default mapped to iso simple goodness... it has a dial above in the back like almost every serious camera has similar to the ep1\2\3 etc

he complains that the af has trouble on things up close " luckily it has a super macro mode that works great , thats a neat trick"
that the level of depth were getting here

then we are told that the nex 5 with its crappy slow lens is a better choice ? well it has a superb sensor yes but the lens on the sony is not 28-112mm equiv f2 -2.8 ....not even close , the compact has a purpose it is not an apsc with a slow and crappy kit zoom
not comparable imo

The noise performance looks better than my E-P1.

Jason C · « **Reply #23 on:** December 22, 2011, 05:10:51 PM »

Do not buy the X10. Why, because I said so.
