You will see the filter in your viewfinder until you zoom in to about 85mm+/-.
Cant hurt if its for as much as a pack of peanutshehe
True, but how many batteries do you want to carry?

Studio shot comparison: Digital Photography Review
Nice studio comparison ..
What's interesting if you compare X10 to older DSLR like Canon 50D, Nikon D3000, Nikon D5000. Roughly X10 at ISO 800 is as good or better than those cameras at ISO 1600. Taking into account many people use slow kit lens, about probably 2 stops less than the X10, then actually the X10 has about 1 stop better low light capability than the older DSLRs using kit lens. Quite amazing.
So if you assume that being kia su, and say your tolerance for X10 is ISO 800, and assume that you have a 2 stop advantage over DSLR with kit lens (due to faster X10 zoom), then roughly you have as good a quality as DSLR (with kit lens) shooting at ISO 3200 ..
I find I'm shooting most of my stuff without flash nowadays. In the past, with older Nikon DSLR, I confined myself to ISO800 with slower zoom lens. Once I went to ISO1600, the color drop was quite bad, so ISO800 was the limit. But with X10, even ISO1600 and 3200 are still ok in terms of color. At ISO 1600 and 3200 noise does come in, but a bit of post processing with noise reduction tools works fine. So now I'm getting better low light capability with X10 than with my older DSLR. Then again, those were like Nikon D70, D40 and Fuji S2Pro.

Yes it does up to 85mm. But with 40.5 (or 40mm) filter, only up to 50mm and even at 28mm much less. So I'm considering reverting back to 40mm filters once I get my Marumi 40mm filter. I ordered some .. waiting for it to arrive. For the time being, I've reverted to my cheapo Vitacon filter (which I got from Alan photo). But seem to be hardly any coating goes in about half round. I did try a 40.5 mm B+W filter but goes in less than quarter of a round. So the Vitacon fits a bit better, but far from perfect. Hopefully the Marumi can go in all the way and has decent coating and is black (note that Japan Exposures is selling a 40mm Marumi now, but its silver - see this link http://www.japanexposures.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=36&products_id=502)
See email from 2filter
Thank you for inquiring about the 40mm UV/Clear and Circular Polarizer filter by Marumi. Hi Robin,
I have been able to confirm that it is a Clear, Multi-coated filter in a black mount. At this time, I do not know if the mount is a slim mount. I finally have pricing and would like to thank you for your patience; it looks like these will finally be available in the next 2-3 weeks.
The price on these filters is as follows:
Marumi 40mm Clear Protective filter - US$17.80
Marumi 40mm Circular Polarizer filter - US$38.25
These items are not listed on our webpage yet, so if you would like to order one, please provide the following information via email, or you can call 800-882-2832.

Not really sure, but I would imagine comparable to Hoya. I've searched all the forums and various places, so far only Marumi seems to have 40mm.
I actually ordered 5 pieces, cos to order just one, the shipping may not be worthwhile (probably the shipping cost as much as the filter). I only need two (one for use on X10, one spare). So I got 3 to let go if anyone interested (assuming it works).

Both are lovely cameras, very hard to decide which one to get?
