i just walk into YL and RM420 is what they told me.
the site is probably marked up abit to cater for online orders.

I am going to email fuji Malaysia to join the queue for a new sensor. If they need
proof, I will send them this photo.

i'm very curious what settings u use to get orbs?

here are my 2 miserable failed attempts at trying to get orbs.
left side is obviously underexposed just to show where the hotspots are.
all shot in manual mode.

Try shooting from outside your car. On a sunny day ISO 100, speed 1/600, f5, 112mm. P mode
I tried all the modes all the same can produce orbs. If i increase ISO to 800 ,1/1800, f9 ,112mm
P mode the orbs are gone. Dont forget to view at 100%.

does this orb effect will happen on x100 also??

Hey anyone of you have a suggestion for a pouch to carry the x10, the leather case stand out too much.

Only reported to affect X10 but some X10 owners are in denial and thinks their
camera are special and not affected. I am sure Fuji will be very happy these
owners will not be claiming the new sensors in May.

thanks for info ya

Lol that's really bad. I have yet to try shooting shiny things at daylight but at night it's proven to be as bad as your pic.

Maybe you're lucky to get a good copy!

The reason i didn't get the pouch even though the seller say it's "free". I got myself a Kodak pouch. Somewhat triangular but can fit the camera with the hood on.

Where you get it? nowadays too many fakes in the market, i afraid kena cheated

I think probably cap ayam also but it does the job.

its still down to certain settings used.
i guess this is a pretty decent thread on it.

Yes, it's due to settings. I have tried the settings from this site, and I get the star-shaped effect instead of the orb result! simply brilliant!

You should try it!

I did try shooting my phone LED.

At F2 it's perfectly round but at at F2.2 there's a nice starry shape around the orb. It's because of the aperture blade moving, right?

High ISO not so bad la because of the noise. Only ISO 100-800 it seems bad.

Eh why don't we post pics taken by the X10 or the X10 itself instead of talking about orb the whole time?

This is normal result for ALL X10 until new sensor is fitted. You just have to
want to shoot to get it. After that it is easy to replicate.

Good copy bad copy means quality control problem at production. Fuji
would not resort to expensive sensor replacement if this is the case.

same scenes again at same settings to see if problem is solved.

Added on March 27, 2012, 8:57 amYes we know how to avoid orbs. It is using higher ISO and avoiding bright light source.
We X10 owners have to thank those owners who agressively attacked Fuji on this
issue until they gave in and promised us new sensors. If they kept quite Fuji would have
waited until they launch X20 ? to solve the issue and save tons of money.

btw, enviro, how to post pics here? when i use the 'img' tag, it is expecting some kind of http link. is there a way to upload the pic here directly from my hard disk?

I copy from photobucket and paste here. Maybe others can explain better.

You can add the pic as attachment in the post or use flickr, imageshack etc.

Added on March 28, 2012, 5:02 pmI got it for 2 reasons. I want to use the flash without having to take off the hood. Using the internal flash with the hood is a bad idea.
Secondly, can save a little bit of the camera battery. Haven't got a spare yet.

It is very light without batteries. It also feels flimsy especially the battery cover and the built in diffuser. This thing is definitely overpriced for the build quality.

But you can fold the rotating part inside so it's small enough to put in your pocket. And power wise i think it's good enough for the occasional bounce flash usage.
