x100 plus x10?

[back alley]

are any current x100 owner/users planning on getting the x10 also?

I don't have an X100 but the X10 looks somewhat alluring.

Now, I do have a Nikon Coolpix P7000, and the design is slightly similar...

[jsrockit]

No, I haven't felt the need for it, but I'm generally a 35mm & 50mm user (x100 and M9). I am going to add a Ricoh GRD to my set-up though... I guess I'm not a zoom fan.

I would never buy the x10 to use as a main camera. I tend to pair a p&s like panasonic zs7 or lx3 with my primary camera that I will be using for the day...

It is then the camera that is the backup and the one I may hand someone to take a picture of my wife and I.

Would I consider it, the answer is maybe. Right now the zs7 or lx3 would need to bite the dust first. I am quite happy enough with either one of these cameras right now.

The lx3 pctures are really good and so long as the iso is within reason, it can beat the pictures I get from even my x100.

torn between the two actually. the X-100 is more alluring because its the most similar to my hexar AF.

[willie_901]

I will not purchase the X10.

[majid]

No. The X10 is just another small-sensor compact in retro clothing, and it doesn't have the hybrid viewfinder that is the X100's claim to fame.

If I had the money lying around, I would consider it as a more portable/versatile alternative to the X100.

[Jamie Pillers]

YES! I always loved the Canon G-series cameras. Now we get the X10 with a much larger sensor, what appears to be a much better viewfinder, and better ergonomics. AND... you can screw the RFF soft-release button into the X10 shutter release! :-)

[nlubis]

I plan to buy it. I don't have any P&S, hopefully this will be it.

The 12MP sensor can produce either 12MP images in high resolution mode, under-expose half its pixels to provide 6MP images with greater dynamic range, or combine neighboring pixels for a 6MP high sensitivity mode.

I'm not enough of a gearhead to understand what this means. Is this truly something special or just marketing? One thing I know is that I do like greater dynamic range. Can anyone explain to me what that means? I don't mean to hijack the thread; I'm looking into getting this one for my wife.

[infrequent]

interesting that the optical finder on the X-10 doesn't interest many when most polls in the past few years bemoaned the lack of good finders. times change!

[bhop73]

No x10 for me.

[IK13]

X10 perfectly fits my requirement for a small sensor camera.

[JonR]

Yes, most likely - a Nikon D90 with several lenses, a X100 and a x10 --- a pretty good set for different situations... JonR

High rez 12MP = for use at low ISO under good light

For use in low light/high ISO, switch to the 6MP high sensitivity mode; for use in scenes with high contrast and wide dynamic range (i.e., very bright light and very dark shadows in the same frame), switch to the high dynamic mode.

The X10 looks nice, but no I think the X100 works well enough as my small camera. It's small enough so that I take it everywhere, so a further reduction is not necessary.

Thanks for the response.

I like the look of the x10 and I'm interested to see how it performs but I am very happy with the X100. I usually carry a p&s on a daily basis but don't think I'll be buying. I'm about to sell my Canon G11, Ricoh GRDIII and a Fuji F30 to make some room, all great cameras btw

some sample shots from the X-10.

price set for CAD 599. USD should be lower?

I like the design, look and concept of the X10 and it is tempting, but I think the sensor will be the deal breaker. Although it will likely fare better at high ISOs than for instance the G10/11/12 and LX3/LX5, it's still a small sensor. Sort of become accustomed to be able to venture into ISO3200 and even 6400 land with the X100 and D7000... I do hope Fuji comes out with a portrait shooter, the X185 or something with an ~58mm F/1.4 lens for a decent portrait perspective on an APS-C sensor. I really, really dig the IQ of the X100.
