That's why I was looking for a small camera Always with you, but should already provide a good image quality. Smartphones and credit card small Allerweltknipsen are not my thing. My New should look like a camera and can also be adjusted so. After much searching and comparing it was the Fujifilm X10. It is in my view a beautiful camera that still makes the bargain class pictures.
But as I search my motives lately also in the world of small things that were encountered two small problems. First: The optical viewfinder of the X10 shows not what afterwards is photographed and is for shooting under a meter with an increasing tendency no longer usable.
So must be targeted to the monitor object. During the day, even in the blazing sun but there is not much on said monitor to detect. Compose the picture just goes to judge the sharpness but is impossible.
That's why I had with close range shots relatively large committee, which is why I've done from any motive several shots in the hope that would vote at least one of the focus. In addition I have every picture again checked after each shot in the body shade. But that costs electricity, a lot of power, and therefore the total of undersized battery X10 handed often only 50 shots.
That's why I was electrified as the FujiX30 has appeared because the X30 no longer have these problems. It has an electronic viewfinder that shows exactly what is afterwards to also see in the image and you can see on top of that, if anything, is in focus. For this, the X30 has also got a much more powerful battery donated, so now several hundred shots in there. Furthermore, the monitor can be folded up and down, which tremendously facilitates many shots (flowers in the meadow, or overhead).
Otherwise, the X30 has remained almost identical to the X10. It has become only slightly larger, so that it almost fits into the pocket of the X10. Thus, when elsewhere the Fuji X30 is designated as a major block shows only that the scribbler has never had this camera in his hands. Anyway, I it is actually to handle reasonably well still too small and only with Half Case.
The menu is now struktuiert clear in my opinion, and thus become clearer. Since the powerful processors have become cheap shit, these are built in cameras and assigned functions that nobody needs. A jet pilot has probably not have more features in the head. It just needs the right attitude of aperture, time and ISO for a good reception. The correct distance delivers yes autofocus, much technology should be.
So far I have not found in the X30 which is an absolute no-go would be, except for a few little things.
If, like me, always the original Fuji used sun visor, the gap in which the switch-on or zooming ring is so narrow that it is for kräfige finger to reach only with difficulty.
In addition charging the battery in the camera big crap and soon will be Fujifilm's labor wars, because the micro-USB connector is damaged by frequent plugging and unplugging.
Yes, and the manual is not the best, because that was the X10 better.
