I asked my Fuji contact and he refused to provide an answer, of any kind. I hope that's positive.

I work as an editor and bought a few X70s for my team when they were still active in Fuji's list four years ago. All but one is still being used, and in good shape, despite repeat usage. For ...

I understand completely. I'm a longtime GR user, so figuring out how best to use the XF10 was quick for me. The GR is very particular, so it was perfect training. I agree with you completely. I ...

Those are the best XF10 reviews, for sure. Ming Thein's review is the more considered of the two, though I like Kim's too. He's sensitive to the XF10's limits but properly isolates its strengths. I ...

Nobody said it did. There's no optimism that's been expressed. I'm just asking basic questions. Nope. That's why I was asking you.

Looks pretty good to me. I'm most heartened by the fact that Ricoh is communicating directly about their product development. It makes a difference, given the historic PR reserve on all things...

Fuji has always had a decent compact in their list. What makes you think they'll stop now? I'm asking not from a consumer perspective, but because you sound like you know. I'm a journalist, BTW, so ...

Just relaying what was said. Yes, have to doesn't mean they will. I get a lot of use out of large sensor compacts for my work, so I always keep an eye on them.

Just heard from someone close to Fuji about the XF10's status. They finished off their remaining stock of 24MP sensors. The XF10 hasn't been discontinued, they just can't make it anymore due to ...

Voila: Ricoh FY2019 financial results are out: “While camera sales were down owing to COVID-19, earnings improved; demand remained solid for Ricoh Theta and GR” https://pentaxrumors.com/2020/05/11/ ...

I've read the same and I don't think the reception has been that poor. I used a friend's XF10 early on and figured out how to avoid the DPR-flagged kinks, by only shooting in Snapshot mode. That ...

Thanks, John. Where have you heard this, specifically?

Thanks! It could be there's just more with retailers still here. But, Fujifilm Global and .de, still list the camera as current. No change. If it's really discontinued, I'm curious to see what the ...

Not in Europe. Amazon.de has both the black and champagne models and so do a number of independent retailers.

If you can afford both - about 1400 euros right now combined, here in Europe - do it. I own the XF10 and X100F myself and find their uses entirely complementary. I only shoot RAF, and the raw files ...

I just bought an XF10 and agree. If you set it up correctly, the colours are on a par with those of X-Trans bodies. The user experience is very good, as well. I haven't had any of the focusing ...

I remember that well. It was bananas. But that was also nearly a decade ago. Your recommendations make perfect sense. I'd buy that update in a heartbeat.

That's the major problem. Ricoh has other priorities than Pentax. So it makes sense we'd get all this speculation about MILCs etc. The consumer base is there but wailing about new products, fearing ...

Yes, this is always an option, irrespective of those who say a Pentax MILC requires a new lens mount. It doesn't. I shot and sold loads of K-01 pics for years. It was a great stills camera for its ...

Exactly. As I've written before, Ricoh has shifted its focus to compacts. GR, rebranded Pentax waterproofs and Thetas are where their money is going. SLRs and lenses only occupy a tiny part of ...
