X70 compared to the XF10
4

I've had the X70 for a long time and have used it as my day to day carry everywhere camera. It is very comfortable to handle for me with small hands, and easy to use in most situations. I get more keepers than most cameras I have had. I've been waiting for an upgrade to an X80, but as it didn't seem that was going to happen, last year I bought a XF10  with its better sensor. However I found the XF10 more difficult to use and kept going back to the X70. I'm now becoming more used to the XF10 and not using the X70 so much now. But for an everyday go to camera the X70 has a lot going for it IMHO. It was expensive when it first came out, so the XF10 is definitely a better deal. But I would recommend it  if you could find one at a decent second hand price.

As it is I use both the XF10 and the X70 as my carry around cameras as they both fit into my photo vest with its big pockets. For quick shooting I usually pull out the X70, tho the XF10 has better IQ, and better in low light. However, neither can compare to my all time fav, and first love, the X10, which unfortunately succumbed to water damage a few years ago.
