The problems I read about with the xf10 is that it misses focus entirely

I've read all of them, and those were primarily users or reviewers who didn't use or demo them in Snap Focus. Fuji should have done a better job pitching the XF10. I blame marketing for not anticipating possible misuses.

That said, a fair number of users who don't shoot with Snap Focus have had no similar issues, so this points to a lack of proper setup instructions. See Ming Thein and Eric Kim's reviews. Again, not a good intro of the camera on Fuji's part.

As I made clear, it's not a perfect camera. It reminds me a lot of DP Merrills, which had horrible usability if you didn't know how to handle them, but great image quality.

I owned an X70 and the image quality was far inferior. I switched to a GR at the time. It's not a serious alternative. If you want a more standard compact, get an RX100 series model. Smaller sensor - that's the tradeoff. I prefer APS-C compacts.
