if u currently dont have any existing DSLR system, unless its sony alpha, then get the nex.
cos no one wants to build up 2 seperate lens systems, but if sony alpha can be shared.
so if u dont intend to invest in and building up a lens collection, then get the x10.

Fujifilm X10 or J1

X10 bigger sensor = theoretically better high ISO.

J1 faster focus + interchangeable lenses.

Personally I wud go for X10. Wud match my X100 perfectly!

J1 sensor bigger than x10 i think ( 1 inch )

anyone know why my battery's life so short? when i fully charge, it can only take about 100shots? its been fully charged 3 times if i'm not mistaken. from full bar, i record about 8 videos (about 10-30seconds each) and about 10-20 photos then battery kong already.

About the same for me. First bar last longer, second and third bar will turn
red very fast. Plan to get 2 pcs third party battery at rm50.00 each

Read this on Dpreview

"what is it with x10 and street shooting ?.

i see countless posts go by most have street shots but most are not showing the camera to it's best as most of the photo's have weird subject matter pointing the camera and shooting at anything.

like shooting, begger's ,homeless people , drunk's , druggies , disabled people ' kid's ,

To me, it seem like your invading people privacy with some of your photo's some of you x10 user's take . some are not very tastefull or interesting and it wouldn't shock me if some of you x10 user's haven't been threated or attacked by sneaking off shot's like that. "

Yeah. Ur right. J1 is bigger than X10.

I played with the J1 and V1 at Nikon centre Berjaya times square
and is quite impressed. J1 with 10mm lens is solid and compact
and easy to use. You should go and check them out. I will wait
for price to drop further ha ha

hmm that sucks lol. expected the battery life to be longer. it says there it can last for 270 shots! where you buy from? garage sales?

Don't misunderstand my intent in the previous post. I meant it as an encouragement to go out shoot and improve our photography.

I think that dpreview thread starter should direct his angst to voyeur dslrfags with zoom lens and perverts with cameraphones instead.



Street is about documentation which is the core concept of photography at the first place.... it's not about zooming into lenglui's from far far ... shooting homies and then turn it black&white or slap a CP filter.

Google for "henri cartier-bresson" "vivian maier"

Anyhow.. this topic can discuss tilll the cow comes home or in the SP thread.

To my opinion, the main appeal of the X10 is its combination of un-intimidating look, the seemingly better dynamic range from DR400/EXR mode, controls and the fast lens that overcomes some of the small sensor limitation... faster shutter speed for the same dof.

All very nice features to have for "street photography"

If look at each feature by itself, there's many other cameras that betters those individual features.

So guys, I'm thinking of buying the Fujifilm X10...

But honestly speaking is X10 a wonder of itself, or is it just a "poor man's X100" ?

And approximately how much is a X100 now?

I played with the x100 today and have a friend buying online on t-d for about RM3.5K , with international warranty.

In some places, i saw x100 to be double the price.
haha, i like the silver on the x100 ...

I have the X100 and it IS wonderful! Played with the X10 the other day and they are really two different cameras possibly aimed at the same target audience but with two very different uses.

The X100 really is a fantastic camera. Awesome IQ and great high ISO performance.... BUT no zoom...

The X10 is also beautifully made but it's so BIG. Not much smaller than the X100 which was a surprise to me. If it were smaller and more pocketable then it would have been a great compact p&s to carry anywhere.

The IQ from the X10 is good for the small sensor but no where close to the X100 with the APS-C sized sensor.

The X10 is a great P&S....

The X100 is a great camera.

Just like to know what's the market price for X10? Rm2100 a good buy?

Nope.. it should be about Rm1950 or less.

Nice, Bok.

I like the reflection but the rest especially the first is very underexposed.

Leather case have arrived. Contact your camera shop to collect. Quite disappointed
only available in brown. Web photos show black. I think most people will only use the
bottom half. In the photo you also can see the charger with adapter removed and the
American "legs" folded for compact and easier packing.Local adapter can easily
remove and install back. For those who didn't realise this.



The bottom part is not screwed into the tripod hole like other brands so it will drop
off if strap is not fitted. IMHO not a secure design.

ya, i got the case, but dont use it.
the brown would look ok if it was a vintage looking lighter brown, but instead its a fugly brown on synthetic leather that makes it look even fuglier.
tho if anyone still wants it, i can sell my case to them

the case look crappy n not very functional if u have the hood installed
