Depending which lenses you have, a used GM1 might be a good choice - small size, 16MP sensor.

I saw this old thread and thought I'd chip in, as there may be other options to consider. I assume we're talking about using the GM1 with small primes – this is the camera's forte, plus, I don't ...

Sorry, wires crossed here: I had the F200EXR: same sensor, smaller body, shorter zoom. The rest still applies though - lovely camera.

I had one of these years ago, which unfortunately succumbed to dust on the sensor. A remarkable compact camera which definitely punched above its weight. I still have some prints from it which I ...

The CPA lens is so bitingly sharp that you will have to accept a slight loss in resolution whatever adapter you use. I have played with a few adapters on my CPA - I won't bore you with the ...

I have a later X10 with the orb issue apparently fixed, so I have a detached view of the origins and cures for the dreaded orbs. I would agree though that Fuji have got a very good jpeg engine in ...

Beautiful moment. Because of the cloud layer, the peak seems to be floating.

X10 owners will know there is a sweep panorama feature in the 'Adv.' menu. I have tried this a few times but have found that not many scenes really suit the panorama view, and a good deal of ...

That is a gorgeous image! Nice to see also that the X10 doesn't mind a bit of cold. (I would think that the battery would run down fairly quickly at that temperature.)

This is a pertinent question, because a lot of us have been wondering the same thing - is it worth carrying the extra bulk of even a compact camera when a smartphone takes such great pics? As ...

Interesting question. I have the Coolpix A and like it very much, but I looked at the XF10 on release. It has the three features that you want (histogram, wifi, touchscreen), though these are not ...

I know I've got too many cameras, but seeing your work with the XS-1 makes me wonder if there is room for 'just one more'.

I'm not quite in the same boat because I'm an X10 user, but I agree that it's the lens that makes these cameras so good, and practically irreplaceable now. (I also love that magic EXR mode.) That ...

It's true, these forums are very much slanted towards new equipment (might be something to do with the site's owners) but there are a lot of us out there who reached a satisfactory point in their ...

You are right about the G5X - I had not considered that one. It uses a different kind of zoom construction, fully collapsible, and if we're going to split hairs, not as long as the X10. Also the ...

Just had a good experience with my local London Camera Exchange branch which I'd like to share. I've been using an old Olympus Digital 9-18mm zoom (the 4/3 model) on my M4/3 bodies via an adapter - ...

It's true, when you enjoy using a camera you'll use it in preference to others. And familiarity with the camera will mean you'll get the best out of it, regardless of limitations. I find the X10 ...

Interesting to read a user who is not totally happy with the CPA. Of course we all have different requirements and criteria and the camera will not strike the right note with everyone. I agree with ...

Again this is just my experience. I use an Oly 9-18mm 4/3 lens with a no-name chinese adapter on my Panasonic GX7 and G5 bodies. Quality is fine, focus is good enough for me - under a second. I ...

The sky detail in the first one is exquisite: also, beautiful lead-in by the jetty in the second. Nice work. I think in the UK, winter is probably the best season for photography.
