Fuji X10, so pretty!


Hi,

Anyone know what is the x10 price selling on Bangkok?

Thanks..
 

Just ordered one thumb rest from lensmate:
Lensmate: Lensmate Fujifilm X10 Thumbrest Black

Fuji%20x10%20thumbrest%20website-1224.jpg


Looks like a better match to X10 than the HorusBennu one :)
 

Have the X10 camera for a couple of weeks already, last Friday was the first time I actually used it for some serious shootout.

It's my daughter's school's Culture Night. My daughter (Primary 2) was w/ the choir team, I rushed to the theatre after work, just in time for the whole show. Took some photos and videos w/ X10, but most time I just sat there and enjoyed the show. I have to say those teachers and kids did a wonderful job, I'm so glad that my daughter can live and study in such a happy and beautiful school:

The show started w/ fork music:

Then the cheer leaders:

The choir team showed up after that, I had some hard time finding my daughter in there due to the make up and costume. They even got two members in wheel chairs

The chinese dance was pretty good:

The Malay dance was even better:

But it's the Indian dance that made us laugh the most:

Can't do w/o the International dance:

The show was so much fun, we didn't expect the grand finale came so soon:

BTW, all photos taken in JPG, w/ some cropping and rotation due to my not-so-ideal seat. Hope you enjoy these photos.
 

I just got my X10 yesterday and the camera is pretty complex.

One thing, does anyone here shoots raw?

The raw format is really weird. I am trying to get a DR400 raw file out where basically the pixels have different exposures. EXR DR mode does not allow me to save raw....

All other modes basically uses ISO400 and underexposes the shot. Even if I set A mode, ISO100 and DR400% vs DR100%, I realise that the pic for DR400% is two stops brighter even though they have the same shutter and fstop. I suspect that at DR400%, the camera forces ISO400.

There does not seem to be a way to get the "special" RAW with with pixels at different shutter speeds. This is really weird... is Fujifilm kidding us when they say they have managed to get the sensor to expose pixels at different timings?

Never shot raw on this thing and never will (me myself). Its jpg output is good enough, and I use such a camera for convenience, not for the best IQ (good enough to record daily life and travel but still fun to play). I'd use m4/3 for better IQ or dSLR for best IQ.

Another quirk I found is if you set adobeRGB color, the colors appear really wierd on the X10 LCD. Two pics taken side by side in SRGB and AdobeRGB appears totally different on the X10 LCD.

mmm... not sure if it is because the X10 is not color profile aware or there is something screwed up with the AdobeRGB representation.

Actually I thought X10 is a "DSLR replacement" targeted at photo enthusiast.
On one hand it has like freaking 4 dials on the camera, comes with manual zoom ring, viewfinder, AF On button,
On the other hand it has like broken AdobeRGB, broken raw file, LCD refuses to stay off when I use the viewfinder,etc...
 

i shoot RAW on my X10.


basically, i just use the camera and never really explore much. i am just happy to post process it after the shoot. :bsmilie:

my colour setting is always at sRGB.

what raw converter do you use?

There are a lot of discussions on the web about broken Raw converters... I am not so interested in resolution but I am hoping to get the extended DR on raw during processing.

i used to use fuji's raw converters but gave up after i bought CS5.


i'm now using CS5.


as for extended DR, i'm afraid i can't help u with that. :embrass:
 

I finally could test on a wide DR scene when the sun rises this morning.

You must set
PASM mode, ISO100, raw+jpeg (raw only does not work as it disable DR400 when IS0 is 100) and DR400

I shot two shots at DR400 and DR100 and DR400 looks to have much higher highlight range in raw which ACR can recover. Shadow noise looks similar so it is probably a good deal.

It is really weird why Fujifilm forces me to shoot raw+jpeg instead of raw only to get ISO100 + DR400.

X10 is an enthusiast's compact camera. Not a dslr replacement.
 

Hi there, does anybody here happen to know where i can rent this camera probably for a day or two just to try it out for myself?.A reputable shop or a person maybe?.I tried looking for it on those online camera rental shops but they only have x100..I'm seriously considering of getting this camera but still a little bit skeptical..i appreciate all the response..
