What I've noticed in comparison to the beginning X10:
-no longer charging cradle, but a 5V USB power adapter and a micro USB cable
-A CD with Quick Start Guide in all languages, nothing else
(Manual and software available on the Internet for download, which is available in the Quick Start Guide)
Girth (is no longer X30 ... or model plan) with eyelets and Einfädelzubehör.
Attention! X30 does not fit into the old ready case as a bit bigger and sitting the autofocus switch forward different (lower).
Doing so:
On top of it all is almost the same as before, which was at derX10 the Fn button is now the Video button that's ok.
Now there is a button front with which you can assign a function to the control ring (great!).
Rear is all a bit different. The keys left of the display have disappeared (always compared X10). Play is now on the screen and the magnifying glass works on the control ring. In addition, there are behind the Q button. In my opinion, the best innovation. At a pressure all the parameters in the overview to setting.
I like the new sticky "leathering" not (On my old Nikon D200 is a similar leather covering will wear out quickly, is swollen and had to be replaced several times). I hope that is not here too.
What else. Clear the viewfinder. I use it now almost always. When X10 optical viewfinder only in low light conditions where the screen is difficult to see. The screen is also great and the battery time also.
WIFI connection; Ok, Remote app downloaded. In my S3, it takes some time until the connection is established. The remote trigger with a picture on the mobile phone is great. Also the download works. But will take with me. In much images so but cables or card readers (btw at X10 and X30 there is a proper cover for the connections un not as a soft plastic cover). Time to send a picture, ok. Geotagging I still do not get out. Maybe it's up to my phone or the compatibility with the App. But maybe doing since software-something.
Image quality is comparable to the already good the X10. Here, nothing has been done, I did not expect anything else.
The new automatic SR + seems to work very well fail.
Time video tries with maximum setting (FHD60). Oops, the memory card is small ... but the autofocus sits.
What I still wish: tripod mount in the optical axis, a belt does not slip.
From the stiff zoom ring at 55mm I can not see anything.
Yeah, and the end. I reserve the X10 because the photographically everything can already, with the X30 I think about that yet.
