Kudos to Fuji

its not fixed till its fixed. remember the fw update which had little to no effect. yes they are trying. lets wait and see what happens with the sensor fix first before we bestow full kudos to fuji at this point in time. lisa
They have quickly acknowledged the orb problem. Compare this with Canon and the 1 D Mark 3 autofocus desaster.

The final verdict - how the problem will be solved - is still uncertain, but so far the impression is not bad.
 
Again, don't forget that a few months ago, reps were telling dealers that the X10 already had new sensors, which it obviously didn't.

They were doing that just two weeks ago in the Netherlands.

They have quickly acknowledged the orb problem...
Kudos are normally 'given' to someone who does or performs something difficult, overly useful/generous or above expectations.
Yes the did something really difficult they finally speaking for a repair/exchange or exchange program as soon as the new sensor is ready.... This has happened once or twice in camera market... (sony - pentax if I remember well)
What do you give your kudos away to Fuji for Robert?
  • For placing on the market a faulty or untested product?
Faulty is a bit risky description....
  • For generating all that hype around it (even though they knew the problem)?
The product just could do all this hype by its own given the design - specs etc.
  • For trying to pull the wool over users' eyes stating that it was within specs?
They said that the camera is working within tolerances not specs. At list they are careful to what they say and to what we want to say.
  • For fooling the users about a pending f/w update, just before Xmas?
  • For taking 2 months to produce a placebo cure?
  • For having to acknowledge their clanger 5 months after launch?
  • or for announcing a solution that you do not know its result yet?
I think one has to do a hell of a lot better than that to earn kudos. If you have kudos to spare, you'll do better giving them to the users (faithful or not) who tolerated this situation, reported/demonstrated the faults and waited patiently for promises to materialize. That was beyond normal expectations in this comedy of errors where kudos were due!... Users' tolerance and devotion ...

I hope the fault is finally corrected (as promised again). If and when it is, you can give away a few kudos for keeping to their promises for a change!... Remember, spare your kudos for the unexpected!...

Now speaking for corporate time.... the reaction of Fuji for me was RAPID, we are talking for consumer cameras here,,, and we all now that current models have just a few months life given that the moment that the next model rumors leaks the same moment they are just old models that some will choose only for a best price...
You're living in a weird time warp if you think that Fuji's reaction was RAPID. People have been complaining about orbs since last November. DPR mentioned them (IIRC) back in Nov. or Dec. and we all waited patiently for the bogus firmware 1.03 to appear in February. Now we learn that a very small percentage of X10s will start to have their sensors replaced in May, which is a 6 or 7 month delay. No, I don't think that you're really living in a time warp. But what you write is often indistinguishable from delusional rants. Best yet is that you admit that a digital camera's life is only measured in months, and Fuji has stalled and delayed the sensor fix so long that the X10's replacement X11 will probably come not long after this. So if another serious flaw bugs the X11, will Fuji's RAPID response be timed to issue a fix just before the X12 is introduced? You rarely write sensibly, and here you continue the pattern.
 
Tons of criticism....??? If I am right only few people in this forum just did a huge fuss for "nothing".... LOL

How many are they....??? 5 - 10...??? no more... They were even more that said that this orbs was just a minor problem that occasionally could be there...

For me all these pictures http://fujifilm-x.com/x10/en/gallery/world/index.html

and a lot more from some specific users that they post here are more than enough to convince me that the X10 is (propably was ;)...) a fine model...

Its a bit early for April fool isnt it ?
 
Kudos for what? Acknowledging a problem at glacial speed? For taking months to produce an inert “fix?” For producing a “press release” (what press?) which was needlessly vague and “shmearing” it with an obviously self-deluded “Fujifilm has a long-standing history of delivering top quality products to the market.?”

They’re arrogant thugs and I’m not expecting anything satisfactory from them.
 
another issue though, they also got problems with the new color filter pattern. they should know it before release and should not know how to avoid it - it's in their sample image.

after all they operate a small camera business that cannot afford changing plans so they chose chicken race but the orb didn't swerve.
 
they should advertise it as " highlight bokeh ."
And you should sell them that buzzword. It's a great advertising idea, especially if they point out that even a $14,000 camera (M9 body + Noctilux 50mm f/1.0) is only capable of pitifully imperfect white discs; neither white nor even disks.

See how these second-rate orbs are hazelnut-shaped rather than nicely circular and, worse yet, feebly translucent, lacking an unique visually powerful solid white character:

Can't imagine that the X10 critics will be happy with the replacement sensor. Something will be wrong with that one too...

Well if there is something wrong with it .... who can blame them ?

Only if Fuji maintains the sterling quality control it's shown so far.
