Maybe they gave you a new lens too as reported by some US owners.
You have posted some nice pic of Malacca in the past. You can
help me decide by snapping some daylight pic of Malacca colourful
river scene (some using EXR mode ) when you are free and post it here.
Nowdays Malacca is so colourful and much improved. Its a photographer
dream becos everything is within walking distance.

Hehe will do when i have some time. I read that the lens & sensor is actually one unit.

Talking about new lens, the sensor is just supposed to be one square like thingy, when I got mine back, the rotation zoom that hold the lens cap is wrap in plastic sheet, anyone got it the same way?

Yeah same here.

Just wondering can you check in Aperture mode, if you can go to f2 easily at 28mm? I have some difficulty to do that. Maybe because it's new and tight...

mmmm....u mean after turning the knob to "ON" at 28mm, on the dial under M, can one use the back dial to f2easily or not ah ? the answer is yes, no problem.
yes, i have to admit its tight here but maybe not as tight as yours !!!!

no no... i mean when you zoom out it goes to f2.8, then zoom back in again should go back to f2. Is it easy to go back to f2? Mine kinda stuck at f2.2, force a bit then it goes to f2.

Dpreview finally posted their indepth review of the X10 using camera with new
sensor.

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x10

On page 16. IMAGE QUALITY COMPARED(JPEG) I compared with XZ-1
and S95 and find the X10 is softer than XZ-1 at various iso. It is
also not much better than S95. Is it my tired eyes or the new
sensor. hmmmmmmm. To change or not to change to new sensor

is that cause of the new lens?
maybe aperture blade stuck

Ha ha, It is so hard to resist when something new and free of charge
is offered. I avoid PP due to lack of skill and lazyness. Current sensor
SOOC JPEG is very good even with occasional orbs so I will wait
awhile more

Hye,

as promise, here are some of the street photography that i took using my new X10..
so far, im loving it to the max..worth the money

Nice pics!

Finally. Yeah their studio shots looks really soft but the review gallery looks awesome. Weird.


Dunno. I can adjust from f2-f11 just fine. Oh well my warranty until early next year. Still a lot of time.

I've changed my x10. I brought it to genting last weekend and bang! issue persists.. wonder if they did change the sensor for me?

what should i do now

Weird. Mine seems much better than before. There are still blown highlights but much less & obvious than before. I still have that stuck at f2.2 problem though. Might send it back.

Show them the photos from your camera when sending in glenmarie. Mine ok. No orb visible.

i will definitely be going to send in again. /facepalm. i will post sample pics before sending in

"Thank you for your patience in waiting for the new sensor to become available for your FUJIFILM X10 camera and we hope that you have enjoyed using it since we returned it to you.

Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that when shooting using particular settings, a limited number of sensors may produce a grainy (noisy) image. The settings are not commonly used (low ISO, high DR and M file size), so you may not have noticed this problem arise.

However, we are anxious to correct this issue. All it needs is a very quick and simple software adjustment, which, unfortunately, needs to be done at our Service Centre. We will not need to open up or disassemble your camera, just update the software to correct this one bug. This issue affects a limited number of cameras handled by our UK Service Centre, which acts as a service hub for the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Finland, Austria and Switzerland.

We are very sorry to cause this disturbance again. We are happy to make this adjustment whenever you are able to leave the camera with us for a few days. We will send you out a protective postal bag as soon as you contact us, and we will return the camera as soon as we can. Of course, the delivery costs will be met by us.

Please contact us either on our helpline 0844 553 2322 or the email address ‘Xseries@fuji.co.uk’.

Once again, we are very sorry for this trouble. We want to make sure that the FUJIFILM X10 produces the very best results, and were keen to let you know of this issue as soon as we could.

Kind regards
Customer Service Manager
FUJIFILM UK"

Already available quite some time already.
