I'd buy the X10 in a heartbeat...

Yes, the AF will be exactly what's in the x100.

Yes, the aperture will be exactly what's in the x100.

Silly.

Hi All

That's why there are cams out there for "serious work".

At that point, you'd be surprised at how far a serious photographer can go with a not-so-serious camera.

The camera does look attractive. But, sadly, the sensor is too small for any serious work.

I´m also looking at the X10, and consider my self to be a serious photographer ;-).

I´be been doing some serious work with a not so "serious" Samsung EX1, and are impressed with the results (from such a small sensor).

If you want to get into silly name calling then do so. I will not call you any names.

Two important issues with X100 are
1. AF
2. Sticky aperture blades

As is known CDAF is slower on larger sensors (aps-c) than on smaller sensors (2/3"). AF on X10 should thus be faster. Hopefully Fuji have worked on AF to make X10 speedy enough.

X10 2/3" aperture is NOT the same as aps-c X100 aperture. This should be obvious. You saying they are the same is incorrect. The issue is of sticky metal blades. Fuji have been bold to include metal aperture blades (not electronic). Hopefully the sticky metal blades of X100 has been sorted in X10.

The X100's AF is maybe a little slow, but I've found it to be reliable even in very low light. I do agree that it has quirks, such as preferring vertical lines.

The X100's AF certainly could be better, but it is not as bad as it is sometimes portrayed. About a month ago, I posted some tips on how to avoid focusing problems with the camera: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1020&message=39058103&changemode=1

It probably has been fixed in the X100. Fuji has been replacing defective lenses, and so far, I haven't seen any reports of the problem reoccurring after the repair. We will know for sure after more time has passed.

Why not pick up a m4/3 GF2 or E-PM1 with 14mm prime? Smaller and lighter package, more flexibility and, unless Fuji has some serious pixie dust, better IQ.

Hey, I love the Panasonics, but the Fuji IQ blows the doors off of almost any camera out there.
