Hi! Thanks for the reply.
Though I know that in a concert, one will need to use diff settings to adapt to the conditions but will u be kind to share the settings u used for a concert ? Sorry for asking but as I'm getting a x10 tmr for a concert 5 days away I'm a bit worried I won't be able to figure the camera out by then.
Thank u

It depends on the lighting condition of the concert itself. Its very hard to advise.
I shoot with spot metering and Aperture priority and then there r times when i shoot in manual mode, opting for a full control.
X10 has fast aperture along with a decent reach. The iso performance is not bad too and u can bring it into the concert hall too.
A used unit goes for 500? I think its a very gd buy.
My advice is dun bother to get something new and try to master it within 5 days of crash course. Chances are without practice, you may not be getting any decent sharp shots at all (the worst thing is can't enjoy the concert while busy fumbling to take pictures, and all turn out blurry), why not make use of what you have, since your avatar appears to have a good range of gears?

dun think he can bring those gears into a concert hall?
tas probably why he's looking at a smaller camera.

Hi , thanks to everyone for the advice.
Ya , bringing my main gear will be a gamble as nowadays the concert bouncers seriously will whack anyone who's camera looks a little bit bigger. I'm using an Olympus EP3 with 12-35/2.8lens and I know no need to bother trying
Hence looking around for a decent smaller sized camera and that's why I landed with x10 among LX5, XZ-1, RX100 etc. I sold my XZ-1 to fund my x10 purchase. XZ-2's price is simply not unreasonable to me
Will try to enjoy the concert while taking some pic s for memory , and try best to learn from u all (I'm new to Fuji with its EXR system) as I've heard that the x10'had a huge myriad of functions and not easy to master.
Hence any advice on settings for concerts is definitely good
thanks

That's really cheap! Don't think I'd sell mine (only 4-5mth old) for that kind of money ...
hmm.. mine had no warranty, 1 yr 1 mth old
but made a check with Fuji , its around $85.60 (GST incl) for general servicing and the sensor replacement (white orb issue) will be free with or w/o warranty hence.. haha, good deal.
think it also helped the seller was quite generous and selling his stuff to fund a Leica.

remember to do some checking after they replaced your sensor, do some noise check, zoom in zoom out to see if the lens is smooth,

This camera did surprise me with its ability. and this is when I'm considering buying the XZ2 or LX7 for concert going.
Just used it recently at rainie yang's concert and though I had to use manual mode w manual focus to use it effectively , the experience was great
