Almost like a classic camera X10 and Rollei 35

Fujifilm X10 Digital Camera (12MP, 4x Optical Zoom, 7.1 cm (2.8 inch) display) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Replaces the Fuji X10 when my beloved and carried like analog Rollei 35. The Rollei is therefore also the object of comparison. I wanted a digital, where you can use the viewfinder properly because I with a display at arm's length distance nothing can abgewinnen work. I'm not a pixel peeper for me to open up the value of a photograph is not about the resolution, but on the content shown.

Housing: the Fuji is much bigger than the Rollei, a pocket camera that is no longer definitely. But it is a lot easier than the Rollei, which makes up for a lot. The housing surface in the style of volcanic in classic Leica is haptic great, the housing is ideally shaped for used with both hands, as a whole the ergonomics are very good. The left hand is like saying to the mechanical focal ring.
The whole camera is very solid, all controls are made for eternity. There is a real trigger, including wire thread. But kudos to Fuji, which is well done and the price thickness value.

Viewfinder: at the Rollei the image detail is reflected in the viewfinder and there is parallax. When the viewfinder Fuji less than the actual image displays, which is very unusual for a rangefinder and a completely different way of working requires. The parallax is very strong, because you really have to be incorporated. For zooms with the viewfinder, what class is. The viewfinder is bright and tidy condition, not a cheap alibi solution as with most other digital, if any one still exists. The only drawback is the lack of focus in the viewfinder. It is not the focal point nor the focusing signals, providing more time for surprising results when was automatically focused on the wrong details. The situated right next to the viewfinder LED for focus control but you can see with the eye still reasonably, so that goes halfway.

Photo Graphic design: my worst fear because of the comparatively small sensor and the resulting low physical focal length has not been confirmed. It is fair to play with the edge, as you know from proper equipment with this camera. With some Gedrücke menu you can move to the open aperture, the camera thoroughly. This has baffled me. Prefocusing is practically not, as you manage to do it only on the display and with fumbling on the button jams. As a mechanical focus ring, which would for the price but lacks probably asking too much. Since helps the relatively high intensity of the great objective. Yet here the Rollei with its analog full-format together with Zeiss optics has advantages, albeit with strubbeliger operation.

Video: I can not judge. While it is generally criticized, need, but I do not use.

What I noticed is:
- The battery life is short. For longer trips it is strongly recommended to have a spare battery with you
- Einschaltverweigerung. Even my X10 goes to not always when you turn on the lens. A longer press of the shutter helps then. This looks like firmware bug.
- The write times even on Class 10 cards are quite long. That must be better.
- Autofocus. The most annoying element to the camera. Rather slow and often unpredictable. The camera photos blew it, where you could really not believe, because it is unable to put on something sharp. Landscapes are typical for. Since focusing with electronic wheel under the right thumb is not so my thing, that's a real problem, especially since it is controllable only via the (hated me) display.
- The built-in flash is a bad joke. Accessories Flashes are unacceptable expensive.
- Face Detection (what's this?) Does my pet! So a rubbish! But can be disabled.
- I'm working now exclusively in a "user defined" mode and not with one of the predefined automatic. So I can hinkonfigurieren the camera so that it works the way I need it. Which is great.

The only real gripe, the lack of focus in the viewfinder is fixed at the successor model X20. That's why I'm thinking about the exchange X10 X20 against. Who does not need is served by the X10 well as a serious tool.
