Quality at a high level

I was wondering if I really should write the 157ste review on this camera, this will do it, because on the one hand a number of innovations have shown that is not found as here but give, on the other, my satisfaction with the purchase of expression want.

Zunächts once I thought when unpacking: So great is however not at all. I had, after reading the many reviews here, concerned that it would be quite a chunk. That is not so. It is of course bigger than my Casio Exilim, which I had so far, but in a pleasant setting, as it also is better in your hand. Too small for Disabled, how do I find the handling too. It is also small enough to take them in a belt pouch, that is what counts for mainly me.

Then I was amazed that Fuji has considered a number of innovations for the X10. Anders is now that the RAW button is backed by a choice of most essential settings that you can now call a Tastendruch. Also new is an additional program for Adv. setting with numerous effects such as "pinhole", some color effects, a "miniature effect" fuzzy front or backgrounds as well as a setting in which the picture is black and white appear at a pre-selectable color. At first I thought that I would not use these gadgets in life. Now I was now to try in the woods and had "black and green" some images conjured up with the attitude that make a stay away the spit, really great.

What is new is the RAW Konwerter, which is on the CD case. I have not tried it but.

Annoying is the software to edit the pictures, because it turns on automatically whenever you hang a storage medium to the computer, including the USB flash drive, external hard drive etc. When I say the Fuji program, it should this be, it will also see the pictures no longer, by the way, do not want to leave without copying the program in a directory at once from my camera is. In addition, the software will always dial into the network in order to update, even if it has already done so just five minutes ago. But maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

The menus are a bit confusing and you have to use the manual for a while with the camera employ before one understands, but wass she wants from a, then it works and it is amazing what you can so all her arrival and wean , So you are always in a position to implement his ideas.

I now have three days shot sample images and tried a lot. Conclusion first: really great, the X10. First of all, the image quality is very good, but that can be seen in other reviews read out, too. But what I think is great, that you can do without a flash with this camera in very many cases. Firstly, it is already light strongly innately, on the other hand does the "low-light Pro Mode" quite outstanding. The whole combined with the image stabilization, all respect. Even the Panorama mode is something to handle by simply enjoy.

My settings are: color and sharpness +1, residual standard exposure compensation to -2/3. C1 I have programmed for black and white photos, C2 for quick pictures with flash.

A Vorrezensent was disappointed of blurred images at the smallest aperture (11). Today I once made test series with very small, medium and maximum aperture and it's true at f 11 is the focus no longer quite at the level of the smaller values. The effect is, however marginal and mainly to recognize the direct comparison and magnification. Nevertheless not as nice. I will therefore use the smallest aperture 8, if it is possible.

Some other points that are important for some, play only a minor role for me. For example, the battery life irrelevant to me. A replacement battery you but eh in the bag there and change it if necessary. Also, the viewfinder is fine with me. He is bright, you can make a vision correction and you can work with him, because one gets the acoustic focus signal. For the correct adjustment of the aperture, time and Isozahl you will always advance look at the display. That this is not pivoted, like for many shooting situations not be as elegant, but to me it's so dear, the camera thus gaining added some "perceived" robustness. Also, I do not know what there is to complain to the charger. Ok, it might be a bit smaller, but it has in that it can be plugged directly into the outlet, no annoying cables and the batteries are installed easily and quickly.

Too bad that Fuji is not the function of the improved imaging performance by interconnecting the pixels explained in the instruction manual, another highlight of this beautiful camera.

I admit, despite the few negative points above five stars because total outstanding photographic results can be achieved, the value of the camera via all doubt and because the overall concept fits. I will not give in any case restore.
