Currently have a Sony rx100m5. That's not bad, but if I'm in a hurry, the fiddliy button/dial menu navigation is difficult, especially in the custom Fn menu. I also would like a larger sensor.

So I'm looking at the X-S10.I like the features, especially IBIS and the touchscreen Q menu.

I have some questions:

How is the navigation of menus with the joystick? Is it easy to push when you meant to tilt?

I have no problem with it.

The 18-55 f 2.8-4 lens that often comes as a kit lens seems like a very good set of specs, at least compared to typical kit lenses from other brands (which are dark as heck). How is that lens, optically speaking?

I bought XS-10 with 15-45 which is not bad (if you can live with PZ), but  buying now I will choose18-55. Lens is also much cheaper as kit.

Also, how high can the ISO go before things get contrasty and colors get blotchy? I know noise is easily fixed in post these days.

I use 1600 ISO out of camera. Higher ISO (max. 6400) need postprocessing. Colors are very good at all settings IMHO.

Any other comments are welcome.
