Re: Fuji XF10

Autofocus isn't bad by the standards of contrast detect cameras from 10 years ago, and people made perfectly good photos with those. I personally never use snap focus; just high performance mode, single autofocus point, a bit smaller than default but not the smallest (to increase the odds of having both horizontal and vertical contrast), and no continuous AF. This gets me by just fine. The lens is wonderful, the sensor's wonderful, and I find myself bringing it along so much more easily than my X100. Despite the fact that the X100 is a joy to behold and use, the compact form factor with very comparable IQ from a resolution / noise / DR point of view, and the same jpeg colors that I love, have made the XF10 my primary (and pretty much only) dedicated camera since the day I bought it.

If the X70 had USB charging I might've bought that for the control layout and tilt screen with a minimal size increase, but as it is, the XF10 is still the best walkaround very high quality snapshot camera for me. The Ricoh GR might've been a contender but for the dust issues; I carry my XF10 in my pants pockets unprotected and it's been dust-free.
