I am constantly accidentally moving the focus point with the joystick and accidentally changing exposure compensation with the rear dial. Both of these issues could be fixed in firmware. The advanced bodies allowed you to remap the rear and front command dials. Other cameras like Nikon have a lever to lock the focus point. These are my biggest gripes about the X-S10. Otherwise I find the size and operation almost perfect for me.

I pondered the inability to swap the function of the front wheel, but now I've had the camera for some time I understand the logic behind that decision. I can swap between aperture priority, shutter priority and manual and it maintains the consistency of the controls when you do this, and I do use the camera like that. For instance, in aperture priority, the front wheel controls aperture, in shutter priority the front wheel controls the shutter speed, and in manual, which is next to Aperture priority, it maintains the front control dial for aperture. This makes sense to me and makes the camera simple to operate when switching between modes. I don't have to think too much about what I'm doing when I switch. I like cameras that don't get in the way of shooting, I find the X-S10 to be such a camera.
