Anyone bought the X10 recently? Please share your experience with us.

I am only reading the manual now. It is good that Fuji still provide paper
manual and not only CD. The manual is easy to understand and printed on soft type
paper including the covers and quite thin so forgetful people like me can easily carry
it around in the pocket.

My first impression of X10. Nice looks and solid built. can't help but admire
the workmanship and design plus nice size and weight.
It seem to have direct controls for all the important functions except video.
so hopefully will be easy to operate.

Raw conversion software like slr. Quite rare for PnS .

Did your camera come with a manual and some software to edit the raw files etc? I'm surprised mine didn't include one. I thought it was under the compartment where the camera and charger is put but when I got home it wasn't there. Was in a rush so didn't had the time to check.

Yes I got a hardcopy manual and CD. The software and also PDF manual is on the CD.
They are packed on top in the box. You probably left them at the shop.

Oh at the top? I hope the shop will keep for me sad.gif . Must be the staff didn't put it back in, I also didn't realize lol. Did yours come with a case? The fotokem staff said Fuji didn't have stock, they'll call me to collect when it arrives. Hopefully they keep the manual for me so when I go to collect the case they'll pass it to me.

Btw I wanna ask one thing, what's the yellow symbol of a camera with an exclamation mark beside it? And also a !AF symbol that keeps popping up.

There are also some cases where when I half click the shutter button for the camera to focus, the screen sort of hangs for half a second instead of showing that it is focusing. Do you face this too?

You should call the shop for the manual. Case could take weeks or months to come.

Tip I found out. If you press menu button from any mode it will go straight to
ISO so it can be used as a sort of direct button. The Fn button can be assigned other function.
I set it to tracking focus. Try and see

select iso before back. I find this useful. anyway I am mostly on auto iso. Found this tip
on overseas forum.

Can I check with you which IS mode you use 1 or 2 ? When I select IS2 the
focus square still jump around when shutter is half press and green.
IS1 mode focus square always steady. Most users set to IS2. Any harm if leave in mode 1?
battery drain and faster wear and tear maybe? For me if the square jump around
quite eye strain. Regards

in super macro mode, it only works when its at its widest (28mm)? whenever i zoom a bit also show the red AF!

okay thanks, was planning to go try and shoot light trails by the road tonight tongue.gif. then i almost got a heart attack when i could only set it at shutter speed 4s the slowest!

btw the raw files cannot be edited with Digital Photo Professional (the one that came with my 60D) ..? when i asked the fotokem staff they said it can!

The x10 manual state:
" be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer or other device"

Is this necessary ? I normally keep the originals on the card itself after storing copies on the pc
using the pc card reader. Later when I insert it back into the x10 it takes a while to start up again.
Also sometime use the card to print from photo kiosk. Any harm, Can someone advice? Thanks

Yeah I found that out by accident haha. But I prefer to keep it as the iso button. Kinda annoying to have to open up menu to change the iso.

Btw do you often get stuff like the camera seems to be "lagging"? It's like the yellow/orange LED light will flash, then can't do anything. Can't open menu etc etc until it goes off.

Your answer is on page 21 and page 111 to 119 of camera manual.

You can download from here:

I think I discovered the problem, shooting raw when the card is only class 4 haha. Takes too long to buffer.

Btw another problem, there are times when I half click the shutter button for it to focus first, but the screen hangs for like 0.5-1 second then only it shows that it's in focus. Hang meaning the screen showing like I took a photo (when I didn't).

Somebody worked this out :

Just stuck mine in Manual, ISO100 DR100 and I can go to 30sec
ISO 100 = 30sec
ISO 200 = 15sec
ISO 400 = 10sec
ISO 800 = 4sec
ISO1600 = 2sec

Got my X10 1week ago and so far, quite happy with it. I love the retro looks, the solid feel, and the very usable high ISO. Was using the Oly XZ1 before this. Do you guys face any issues whereby the camera actually focus(green box), but the image still blur? I kena this few times already. Anyway, here r some shots to share.

@blackbird, yeah i got that quite a few times. happens mostly in low light conditions. i feel as nice as this camera is (it really is very good for a compact), there are quite a few annoying bugs in it that should be solved soon tongue.gif

@everdying yeah have to agree with you on that. try using manual focus, a big pain in the butt lol. have to keep turning the command dial non stop.

Guys, there is a known issue which happens when you remove your SD card to download photos to your PC. When you reinsert the card back into your X10, sometimes (or maybe everytime?) it will cause the camera to start lagging. That's because some files are written onto card during the download. One workaround for now is to set your card to "lock" before inserting it into your PC's cardreader. I'm using this method now to avoid lagging. Else you'll have to reformat your card everytime you download.

reflections.

can someone explain a lil bit bout the dynamic range thing, kinda blur here lol.

and the EXR Range for high iso & low noise, is it a really big difference from when using with normal modes (like aperture priority)?

Blackbird, The background is real nice. I asked because the blur edge of the brown fence
behind the birds are a bit odd looking. Like your work lol

Called Fujifilm Malaysia today and a Japanese answered the phone. Very expert
and explained clearly. I was used to Canon and did not realise that when the blue
magnifying glass appear at the end of the zoom bar the rear screen is showing
56mm - 224mm image. According to him there is a free workshop in Putrajaya this
Saturday. Will focus on EXR. Interested can register with Fuji PJ nod.gif

If you mean near the ON/OFF section then yes. It will feel much smoother after
sometime. The compensation knob on mine is very tight.

Added on December 2, 2011, 9:48 pmBlackbird, How come I cannot get the IQ you are getting?lol Are you shooting in RAW?

Yeah today I experienced the focus problem. Turns green but image blur on the screen.

I suppose have to wait for firmware upgrade then.

Digital zoom for "better than nothing" situations ha ha.

Maybe PIC-A-DAY thread is more to your taste. Lots of talented shooters there.
Page 89 is quite good. You have to understand those who are looking to buy
and those who just bought will usually discuss what you find offensive. After a while they
will disappear to shoot their snapshots and not bother anyone anymore nod.gif

If you attach a filter to the adapter, dust can still get in through those
slots behind. Funny design.
I ordered a 40mm to 49mm step ring so that i can use a 49mm filter
instead of the lens cap. Dont like the strong sucking and pushing air action.

someone shot this with Intelligent digital zoom mode at maximum 224mm.
Supposed to be better than crop bcos the x10 does some processing
on the photo. Good to know it can be used.

I'm not very much into Street Photography. However, I think this camera is ideal for it.

Because of its unintimidating looks, people rarely notice/react to it.

Also, Fuji colours are wonderful!

I'm happy that I chose the X10 as my backup camera. It allows me to have fun and shoot whatever I like when I'm too lazy to carry my DSLR around.

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.

X10 bigger sensor = theoretically better high ISO.

J1 faster focus + interchangeable lenses.

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

About the same for me. First bar last longer, second and third bar will turn

"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. "

and is quite impressed. J1 with 10mm lens is solid and compact

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

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

QUOTE
Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment. On the other hand, much street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely personal rendering of the subject matter, giving the audience a more visceral experience of walks of life they might only be passingly familiar with. In the 20th century, street photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture in Europe and North America, and elsewhere to a somewhat lesser extent.

Source of Information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_photography


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.

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. biggrin.gif

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 tongue.gif

i think the hood also isnt that functional...unless u intend to use for its filter adapters so u can put CPL on etc.
flare wont be such a major concern, plus if it really comes down to shading the lens it can easily be done with ur left hand.
and the hood also doesnt really provide much protection, if anything it increases the surface area of the lens so it can be knocked easily and maybe just throw the lens out of alignment should a knock occur.

If the guy is still alive , I think he will like the X10 EXR Auto mode. I use it 80% of the time
but I know "experts " avoid auto modes whistling.gif

One thing I dont like about EXR auto mode is the camera selects provia as standard

Yes ebay. I got 40-43mm,40-46mm & 40-49mm. rm20 each.
I wont even recommend the 40-49mm ring if you like to use the ovf. It will block
25% at 28mm. 40-52mm will block half the view unless you get those
with slots at the back. Good slim filters start at 49mm and I dont use
OVF often so i use 40-49mm.

This is one of the sample photo for new fuji xs-1 ( same sensor as x10). I thought
sample photos are meant to show off the camera capabilities?
It is clear the Japs do not see this as a defect otherwise they would have done
something about it before putting it on the market. They have gone bonkers. biggrin.gif

you have to buy the adapter+hood combo in order to install the filter, right?

also, with the filter the original casing will not fit too, right?

It IS reversed. Astia supposed to be more muted and Provia is supposed to be standard. I find on my X100 that Astia is more contrasty and confirmed by dpreview as well.

To use the original casing ( who in their right mind will do that. whistling.gif ) select
40-46mm adapter/filter combination.

Current Provia too warm for my liking. Major firmware up date to correct "orb" issue due soon.
Hope they correct this too. LOL.

I have the ciplak LH-X10 lens hood. It looks exactly like the original but I hate it, first because it's not airtight and the holes actually allow dust between the lens and the front element. It also protrudes at the bottom so the camera won't stay flat on a surface anymore.

Still waiting for someone to come up with a custom X10 specific UV and CPL filter. It'll be soon I guess. In the mean time I'm still enjoying the camera!

The X10 works very well for video, I went to USS and did several 1080p videos. The autofocus is actually quite good and I liked that I could zoom in manually while capturing video.

*But* the Sony Nex5n is obviously better, with a larger sensor it can do 1080p60 which is perfect for action scenes or if you need the smooth high frame rate.

Go to youtube and check out the samples and decide yourself.

I suspect many camera shop make their profit from ripping off customers
by selling them junk filter (now even got glue on filter rclxub.gif ) These filters dont even have
their own website. It is like buying sunglass from pasar malam or petrol station. No point buying
x10 with high quality lens and cover them with junk filter. Even single coating
Hoya or B+W are not good enough. Invest in branded multicoated filter or
dont use filter at all. whistling.gif

imo, a small lens like x10 doesnt need filter.
unless ur extremely careless, chances of scratching the lens is very slim.
most ppl who put filters on just want to avoid fingerprints.

I am on the side which must have filter but a good one. The x10 lens is quite
exposed and sooner or later the nice hard and slippery aluminium lens cap will
hit the lens. With filter you dont have to be too careful and only need lenscap
for storage. And yes filter easier to clean than lens. smile.gif

simply buying a 40mm pinch cap would be better then.
unless its a decent 40mm filter ur putting on, else its just degrading the quality and will produce more flare...orbs anyone? tongue.gif

Much earlier I bought a Olympus 40mm pinch cap. Fits really well but I suspect
it might be touching the lens. Directly mounting filters to the lens might also
have the same problem

i got lowepro apex 60AW.
fits fine, case offers lots of protection which also makes it more bulky.

nano VI is also a perfect fit, slimmer but then obviously no padding at all.

I am planning to get a multi-coated clear filter (as protection for the lens) that will fit perfectly for the x10 instead of the adapter/lenshood combo

I am ordering a 'Marumi 40mm Clear Multicoated Filter' and wondering that there must be other x10 users out there that might want one as well so that we can share the shipping costs.

Check out this website (in the middle of the page)

website for marumi filter online shop

This filter is smaller, complete sealed, and won't block much of the OVF compared to the lenshood.

Price without shipping
Marumi 40mm Clear Filter for the Fuji X10 $17.80
Marumi 40mm Clear Multicoated Filter for the Fuji X10 $26.62


Just sent an email to 2filter.com to inquire about the shipping costs and approximate time it will take to arrive, will update you all again if there are any interests

The key word you missed is "single coated". The following link is to a
Filter review site. It shows the performance difference between single coated and
multicoated filters of popular brands.

http://www.lenstip.com/113.1-article-UV_fi...troduction.html

Those who plan to buy Marumi filter for their X10 pls compare the
Marumi multicoated( no. 21) with the Marumi single coated(no.20) The single coated
one is basically junk.

Below is the reply i got :

Hi Chris,

The Shipping cost would be $15.31, the first shipment of these are expected in a few weeks.


Thank you,


Andrea

Sales@2filter.com

The Filter Connection



Aquos, are you sure the price you quoted was inclusive of product and shipping costs? because the reply i got would mean shipping cost alone is 15.31 US dollars (shipment to malaysia) im ok even if it's just the 3 of us, only around RM20 for shipping cost each, i can accept that, since it's impossible to find any in Malaysia, i heard the Marumi distributors told a camera shop owner that they are not planning to bring in any of the 40mm filters to our shores (the 40.5mm only screws halfway in). Let me know if you guys are ok with the shipping costs, if no one else is interested, we can place the order in the next few days. Im assuming you both want the multicoated filters.. might as well get the best ones if we are going to go through all this trouble.

btw, i stay in Petaling Jaya area, we can discuss much later about how to collect the goods

Aquos, are you sure the price you quoted was inclusive of product and shipping costs? because the

btw, i stay in Petaling Jaya area, we can discuss much later about how to collect the goods

Yes, That's the price they quoted for 1pc multicoated shipped using usps first class mail
(no need to sign for it at our end.). They quoted lump sum but this form of shipping
is about usd5.00 so the filter is usd18.00 discounted from usd26 listed. You will notice
they offer very high discounts for their other filters. You need to be clear with them
and specify how may pcs and which form of shipping you prefer. biggrin.gif

Mostly so I can use normal pinch type lens cap. Dont like the original cap
pumping and sucking action when you put on and remove it.( I imagine the dust
circulating in the camera due to that) I have always used filters on all my lens
and dont see any quality difference but I am sure in some situations there will be.
Unlike 52mm or 49mm the 46mm filter dont block the OVF much and looks ok on the lens.

so Aquos, if you already have the 46mm filter , do you still want the marumi 40mm filter? I wonder is it worth it, or should we just get the adapter and 46mm filter for x10


anyway, ahtiven, i have just request to 2filter.com about the exact pricing and shipping costs for 4 filters(me and a friend, ahtiven and aquos)

will post the reply by saturday or friday night =)

aquos and ahtiven,
this is the reply i got from 2filter

We are expecting the shipment to arrive here is 2-3 weeks.

The total for the 4 filters would be $106.48 plus $15.31 for shipping is $121.79

Thank you,

Andrea
Sales@2filter.com

I think what they meant is the product will only arrive at their stores in 2-3 weeks from the exporter. I have calculated and after dividing the total cost by 4, it will cost each person RM91.65 only =) The filter is black not to worry

Actually I have found another forum that someone already placed order for 10 of this marumi filters for x10, but all 10 has takers already and he's from singapore, inconvenient for us to collect anyway. It seems they got a mail that 'the shipment to importer' has been delayed for 2 weeks. Up to you guys if you want to play safe and wait for them to get their shipment first, im sure they will post pictures of the x10 attached with the filter so we can see how it is.

Aquos, let me know if you still want in, seeing that you already have the 46mm adapter filter, i just want to reconfirm.

Also, one more thing, i will be overseas for a month from end of february until 20 march, so if i place the order later, i will only be able to pass it to you guys after 20 march, unless one of you want to place the order instead =)

2.Each value set on ISO sensitivity and Dynamic range can be maintained even if aperture setting mode (P / A / S / M) is changed.

http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_ca.../x10/index.html

finally that part has been fixed.

btw, just wondering...must use card reader or not? cos i got no card reader tongue.gif
or can just copy the firmware file straight to the camera?
cos x100 no need use card reader, just copy file to formatted card on camera, then off-on and start the process.

Buying from a trader here. But it's just the camera, nothing else. Add memory card (16GB Class 10) and postage still 2100 also. Hoping to get this week.

I read about the orb problem, pretty severe in some cases. I think it's a flaw in the EXR sensor design itself.

But i have to say 99.99% of the non orb pics taken by X10 made me decided to buy it, and of course, the looks. nod.gif

Tried 40.5mm filters at the shops, won't fit and so hard to find 40mm filter & lens cap. Ended up ordering JJC hood to fit Hoya HD filter & lens cap. >_>

Also ordered Nikon Hot Shoe cover for RM9.50 and the only shutter release button on Shashinki lulz.

The orb problem can be very severe at ISO 100 but above 1600 it's gone. Just hope Fuji will do something about this but i kinda doubt they will. Might as well improve the sensor and rename it X11.

Other than that somewhat major problem, this thing takes freaking nice photos.

Hey, Orbs are supposed to be round but yours is banana shape. shocking.gif

I seldom get orbs so not bothered by them. I like X10 because its JPEG are
excellent and I am lazy and not good at post processing. Enjoy your camera biggrin.gif

Definitely not fixed. Just some other fixes and addition. Don't think it's fixable by firmware when the hardware is flawed.

Maybe use -1 or -2 EV will reduce it but i'm not sure.

My result is similar to dpreview. 1600 above it's much softer.

I think reducing the Highlight Tone setting will help reduce it a bit since i think the camera (at least my copy) tends to blow the highlight a lot especially contrasty indoor.

Almost wanted to buy since now price drop, than this orb come kacau. Is it that serious? Pictures seen quite scary. I wanted one to keep in my working bag as often than not need to take pictures of site. X100 budget is still out.

Been a fuji fan 9 years, bought 2 compact, made in Japan, after they switch to made in china, have stop buying. this x10 made in Japan, hence my consideration again.

If you look at flickr you can see tons of great pic taken with this cam. Also the orb problem vary a lot. You might get lucky if you get the latest copy. Mine seems to be the older copy (22/11/2011) so seems quite bad.

Was testing around at night on purpose. Orbs are mostly everywhere lol... funny thing when i zoom it seems to be reduced a bit.

Fuji just announced this. Maybe they will recall our x10 and replace the sensor. rclxms.gif
Wait for answer on 12/03/12

"Fujifilm has said it will provide a 'definitive solution' to the white orb blooming problem on its X10 enthusiast compact camera. No further details are available at this point but Fujifilm UK, speaking at the Focus 2012 show in Birmingham UK, said that it is aware of customer concerns and that there will be making a full statement on March 12th."

rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif hopefully it will be resolved by than. can't wait for 12th march annoucement !!! now if the annoucement is official, will the shops carrying X10 be recalled back to Fuji Malaysia to have the sensor(assuming thats the culprit) change and sell back? how to also see which batch model as dun recalled seeing such label.

am quite newbie here. for this compact, when it says 28-228mm, does it mean the real 28mm or crop, i.e. 1.5 = 42mm - 342mm?

Can't wait to own one....

1stly, its 28-112mm.
the crop factor on x10 is basically 4x, or more accurately around 3.94x.
the actual length is written on the lens which is 7.1 - 28.4mm, so which after crop factor is 28 - 112mm.

The x10 is only 3 months old. Too early for them to give up and dump this camera.
If fuji dont solve this problem their sales for the next 12 mth or so product life will
be badly affected not to mention their reputation and other models and future models. somehow I feel
they will not forget us the early buyers. If they do then they better commit harakiri nod.gif

I use the camera like you so I have not even upgraded the firmware. At a popular
US forum the problem is hotly debated with some cursing Fuji so if thy cannot solve the
technical problem then they should follow apple iphone 4 experience and offer refund to
those unhappy customers.

Well i doubt it will have the same sensor blooming problem since it's a different sensor. The XS-1 is more likely to have it since it's the same sensor. But from what i read it's not as severe as X10.

I upgraded to 1.03 straight away when i got the camera. Haha DPReview eh... maybe it's good that they are cursing Fuji a lot even though most of them don't even own the camera. Otherwise, Fuji probably won't take any action at all. Let them bash our camera and we just continue enjoying it as usual. icon_idea.gif

Announcement out but no final solution as yet. Fuji basically confirmed
last firmware update causes the x10 to increase ISO when shooting
bright lights which we know didnt work.
They also say a new sensor will be available in late May but did not say
if early buyers will be given replacement. rclxub.gif

March 12, 2012

The FUJIFILM X10 and X-S1 digital cameras were made available by Fujifilm late last year, and have been generally very well received by customers, who admire the excellent picture quality, manual zoom lens and viewfinder.

However, we did receive some inquiries concerning the so-called ‘white disc’ or ‘blooming’ occurrence, where exceptional highlights in the picture can appear as strongly delineated rounded shapes. This ‘blooming’ effect can occur with all digital cameras which use CMOS sensors, to varying degrees. It can also occur with the X10 and X-S1 when shooting in certain conditions, e.g. cars with front lights shining in dark night scene. The X10 and X-S1 are fitted with a very advanced sensor, which gives excellent picture quality and low noise, but which does give a different ‘blooming’ effect from other cameras.

Fujifilm has a long-standing history of delivering top quality products to the market. In response to our customers’ comments, we have worked hard to find an improvement to reduce the ‘blooming’ effect of the X10 and X-S1. Below are the actions we have undertaken.

In February, we announced a firmware upgrade for the X10 (version 1.03) which does reduce the white disc occurrence specifically in EXR mode. It works by identifying scenes that are likely to get ‘white disc’ blooming. When the camera recognizes such a scene, it automatically increases the ISO and optimizes DR (dynamic range). As the ISO increases, the white discs are less evident. * New firmware for the X-S1 will be available from March 21, 2012.

We will also develop a modified sensor, which will more universally resolve the ‘white disc’ blooming effect in all modes. We are working hard to make this new sensor available from late May 2012.

We encourage any customer with an X10 and X-S1 who has experienced the ‘white disc’ phenomenon to call their local authorized Fujifilm service centre.

Fujifilm is committed to delivering the highest quality products to the photographic community, and is happy to provide this improvement.

Do keep us update on Fuji Malaysia outcome, any other info received pertaining to Fuji Mal, do share it here.

Fuji Mal should already recalled back from the shops to avoid un-aware buyers, fix the sensor and distribute to the shop again.

Thank you very much for writing to us! We're regret for the inconvenience caused to you.

First, we found the latest firmware version 1.03 is working well to solved the "white disc" issue and satisfied most of the customers. However, the level of 'white disc' affect are only varies from sensor to sensor, even though the latest firmware upgraded. Does your camera's firmware upgraded to Version 1.03? If your camera had the latest firmware, but still encountered the "white disc' problem. We already take down your details into our archives, we'll make an appointment and inform you to receive your camera once the modified sensor has arrived to our service centre.

If there any enquiries, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service centre 603-55698388 ext:270. Your support and patronize are highly appreciated!

Yeah hats off to them. Way to go Fuji Malaysia!  thumbup.gif

Heard that some country they replied that they haven't received any news from Fuji Japan yet. hmm.gif

Thanks Joseph......I also spoke to the technician asking when new batch with new sensor will arrive but no details on that yet. Was informed, like as per the mail, not all will get this orb, is it true? I see some international forummer say no orb, kena bash teruk.... leaving aside international, any local here did not face any ORB issue.

As I dun own one yet, can someone show the simplest x10 setting and ask to take some specific light(street light can?) to see if got orb or not.

If not all kena even with latest firmware, I might want to dive to get one....afterall if mine got, just wait till May to get the sensor change.... brows.gif

Just got mine about a week back. Haven't noticed any orb turning out in my pics yet. Will try to take note of that first. Well, if we don't have the orb issue does it mean we can't replace the sensor?

anyone of you guys got the free casing when u bought yours? I just received mine a few days back from the seller as it was out of stock when I bought it, surprisingly mine was a brown unit. Was expecting a black one as the camera is back.

14Mxxxxx ... maybe M for Malaysia or Asia. Not sure because people in the US got 14Axxxxx for their serial number. They also say that there's probably a newer batch with 21Axxxxx serial number. Mine's 14M06xxx so over 6000 already but have a particularly bad orb problem.

But honestly no problem most of the time. icon_rolleyes.gif

All X10 can produce orbs regardless of serial numbers until they stick a new sensor into
the camera in may. I am sure they will rename it then. Actually daytime easier to get
orbs due to low iso selected. Snap photos of cars parked under the sun in the
afternoon and view those sun glare spots at 100% (press main command dial) in the
camera lcd and you will surely see them. Normal viewing size they are hard to see.

No. Only X10 & XS-1 since it's the same sensor. X100 has some other issues i think. Try check their thread.

Also, sensor blooming happens in all camera. Just that it's so much easier to get it with the X10. Still, it happens to some people though not all.

ya, its not on their site.
i walked into their PJ outlet a few weeks back and saw it there.

and iirc, original x10 hood YL was selling at RM130.
this one also not on their site...so whoever is updating it is probably lazy.

if u use the viewfinder, then the JJC apparently blocks more cos doesnt line up properly.
i dont both use filter or hood for such a small camera anyway.
plus with the hood on, you cannot put the camera flat on a table.

Oh... i'm in Melaka so more convenient looking at Shashinki catalog. tongue.gif

Plus i compared between those 2 sites. Some stuffs are cheaper on Shashinki and some are cheaper on YL like the EF-20 flash.

Looking for a spare battery. How much is it at YL?

dunno about spare batt, cos i got extra one added into the package when i got my x10.

shooting RAW+JPG is what most ppl who want to use b&w will do.
so u set the color the b&w, which means the jpg come out b&w...but later if u want the color version u still have the RAW file to work with.

EF-20 iirc YL offered it for RM420.
the build quality is similar to the 3rd party ones like nissin with plastic hotshoe.
then again its suppose to be a sunpak rebranded, so not surprised.

anyway if u dont need bounce flash, the build-in x10 flash actually does a pretty decent job at throttling its output to match the scene, so u dont get as many hotspots.

Guys,

U all using the bundled strap? There is a small piece of leather which has a hole that goes into the pin at the camera right? My camera dropped twice today because of that damn piece of leather. It just keep slipping out, luckily I was using the original casing, nothing happened.

Perhaps time to get another strap with a different type of connector.

i dont even know what the bundled strap is like, all still in the plastic wrappers.
i straight away went and looked for an optech, which is what i use for my DSLR also.
so yea, using this - http://optechusa.com/cam-strap-qd.html


Added on March 22, 2012, 7:43 pmbtw, u talking about the neck strap right?
how did u hook it in? doesnt sound like its put properly to me.

i dont use neck straps for small cameras anyway, kinda overkill.


Added on March 22, 2012, 7:48 pmbtw, that small piece of leather is just to protect the body from the metal parts of the clip.
its not suppose to hold the strap in anyway...

Look at the pic joseph posted up there. The pic after the mosque. See the leather piece there? The strap will go in btw it.

I was using the black strap that came together earlier on, no problem hanging or whatsoever, but once i got the leather case I changed and the leather piece came out a few times which caused my double fall today.

Yeah it is decent. Only problem is i have to take the hood off if i want to use the flash.

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%.

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

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". tongue.gif I got myself a Kodak pouch. Somewhat triangular but can fit the camera with the hood on.

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!

I did try shooting my phone LED. sweat.gif

At F2 it's perfectly round but at at F2.2 there's a nice starry shape around the orb. sweat.gif 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? tongue.gif

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.

Shoot a few photos night and day to get orbs. After sensor replacement shoot the

Yes 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. whistling.gif

I 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. sweat.gif
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. moneyflies.gif

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.

Here's one with bounce flash. I wonder why when i adjust the flash EV to +1 i still end up with the same exposure? I end up having to push the exposure in PP. hmm.gif

You can try this shop. Bought from them by courier. Still think it's the cheapest you can find. Their shop is in PJ and Times Square.

You mean when it auto off and you want to turn it on by pressing the shutter button? Seems ok to me. Only sometimes when it's off it don't want to turn on. But rarely happen.

Random pic.

The on/off switch on the x10 is not well designed in my opinion. First it does not
feel precise. Instead of click"on"click "off" it is like going over a bump feeling when "on"
and going over bump again to "off." Real cheap feeling. Another problem is if you
dont shoot for more than 2 min. it will go to sleep mode. Other cameras you just press
shutter button and it will wake up ready to shoot again. On the x10 you have to twist
lens to switch "off" and then twist the lens to switch "on" again before you can shoot
again. If you are playing tourist at some spot then you have to"on"and "off" the
camera too often. vmad.gif

that is not a camera problem, but user problem.

the menu already has an option to turn off sleep mode.

btw, u dont need to twist the lens to return it from sleep.
simply press the picture review button.
obviously its not as good as pressing the shutter, but it works...also works when u just want to show ppl some pictures.
no need to twist the lens to on, just press the same button.

Well guys..thanks for the opinions and replies. The issue is sometime when I try to turn the camera on, there is a few orange light blinking and it shut down again. I only happen occasionally by the way.

Guess I will need to live with this temperamental problem for a while though it is quite embarrassing knowing that others are waiting for you to take their picture and you are stuck with power on issue.

Everdying..very nice picture indeed. Is it Hamilton automatic ? and for god sake...pls change your proflie pic...lol

Yeah. But i guess the thing enviro hates is that the camera turns off instead of being in power saving standby mode.

I personally turn off the auto off option. If you restart your phone you'll lose a couple of percent from the battery reading right? I believe it's the same if i keep turning the camera on off on off the whole time.

Yeah holding the Play button just to review the pic is a brilliant feature. No need to twist on the lens.

Just watch the video from Fujiguys on Youtube. It covers pretty much everything. For general knowledge about photography, i recommend watching videos from Snapfactory channel.

imo, all you need is to read the manual, along with any general photography book as a start.

Alright, have jump into the bandwagon, got my x10 yesterday. tried to take orb got all picture blur up. tonight out to get some ORB.

my main worry is filter, 39.5MM, where do you buy those, available locally, if can no want step up ring but if no choice let me know where to get the step up ring.

I saw in Shasinki for x10 hood with adapter with 52mm, from the picture it looks like the back is not cover? correct me if am wrong.

anyway, ultimate for me now is to get the filter, already seeing my children having fingers on the lens !!!

Thanks.

there are no 39.5mm filters locally.
go to YL camera, buy the JJC hood for X10 which is cheaper, then use 52mm filters which are much easier to find with better quality too.

some of the ppl working in shashinki are abit incompetent.
they all come with lens hood and adapter.


Added on May 7, 2012, 6:22 pmactually, IIRC the original x10 hood + adapter is selling for RM130 in YL.

i have no idea why its listed at RM178 on YL's website, but i guess its to make abit more from outsiders instead of walk-in customers.

btw, imo the hood is not worth it.
its such a small lens, any flare causing elements can be easily shielded with ur spare hand since its such a small camera.

so yea, a cheaper option is to search for a 40-xx step-up ring, either 40-49 or 40-52.

I got that one as well. No choice but to get from Shashinki since no one in Melaka is selling it. They got lobang behind to sort of give way if you use the viewfinder. Kinda similar to rangefinder style hood but quite horrible design when you use filter since it traps the dust. So you have to be rajin to clean the insides often.

I guess it's more towards protection of the lens element. It is indeed too small to protect from flare.

tmw my adapter and filter shud be arriving. its kinda funny, with lubang, it will protect but will not keep the glass from dirt.

quite a nuisance we cant use any filter, now have to forego the original casing. i surf somewhere one of the filter is able to fit but size is 40mm, weird. subang parade dslr shop got sales and is displaying many old filters, perhaps should paid them a visit and start to experiment, maybe one will fit nicely.

already submitted my q with fuji mal when new sensor arrives. ppl buy special filter to have star and ours extra special, without any filter, we can create orbs !

Yeah had to clean up both the filter and the lens as well but no big deal. Just that you don't want to tighten the hood on the adapter too much. Else it will be too hard to twist it back out. One trick is to open the hood while the adapter is still on the camera. Much easier that way.

I didn't get the original casing when i got the camera. Kinda stands out too much for me. So i got a small pouch instead that can fit the camera with the hood. Can even fit the EF20 flash, spare batteries, card reader, lens pen. It's pretty packed though. Looking for a small shoulder bag to fit the battery chargers & gorilla pod (clone) as well. biggrin.gif

The filter i think depends on your luck. Some say 39.5mm. Some say 40mm or 40.5mm. It's impossible to find here in Melaka so i gave up and got the adapter to use 52mm filter instead.

Oh so you emailed Fuji Malaysia? Hope you can share when exactly will the sensor replacement program starts.

Got any orbs to show? laugh.gif

Thanks for sharing. Got the adapter n Hoya today from shasinki. Ahem....I find it very awkward. With the hood look ok lah but without the hood.... Mmmmmm......

When my budget permit, will get marumi 40mm. Anyone organized bulk purchase, count me in.

now i think many are selling 2088 with some in this forum below rm1900.

Hey guys, for those whom got the JJC adapter to 52mm filter with lubang, have had a hard look yesterday night, why can't we find a ring to paste/tampal on the lubang. am sure a big hardware should have one ring(aluminium) that will fit perfectly covering the lubang. this i need your help, we could use glue to bond it, if find one or use solder(i dunno how and dun have one) to pateri onto it.

Will try to visit those hardware shop, starting with ace hardware and if none, the tradiational hardware shop.

Waht say u or perhaps someone here have try.

All but depends on your luck. Some really bad but some maybe totally OK.

Buy OM-D if you want to invest into more lenses. I got the X10 because i don't want to be poisoned by lenses. tongue.gif

The X100 is more comparable but you're stuck with fixed lens. But then again that may not be a bad thing.

Maybe i'll just call Fuji...

Good morning! Sorry for delay revert. I just had information from our logistic dept that the modified CMOS sensor would be arrived to our service centre next Monday. You may arrange your camera deliver to our service centre next week. We might look into other problems you mentioned as well.

Thanks, after considering Canon G1X, Nikon CoolPix7100, Panasonic LX5, Fujifilm X10 came out top choice for me. May be I should wait awhile & see what happen 1st.

Add another one to your list. A newcomer from Sony. blush.gif

I somehow hope the successor for X10 will have a 1" sensor as well. Along with 24-120mm f1.8-f2.8 zoom and a built in ND filter. tongue.gif

Well, I don't want to wait any longer, so I bought the X10.

Haven't got much time to play around with this unit, but so far no big complain.
Here are a few photos taken from X10, straight from camera, some cropping but no color adjustment:

First, we would like to inform you this "white disc" issue would happen with
the digital camera X-10 which having firmware version older than 1.03. We
discovered from our service experiences that the latest firmware version
1.03 is working well to solved the "white disc" issue and satisfied most of
the customers.

However, the level of 'white disc' affect are only varies from sensor to
sensor, even though the latest firmware upgraded. Does your camera's
firmware upgraded to version 1.03? If yes, despite your camera had the
latest firmware but still encountered the "white disc' problem. So, you may send in your camera for fully
inspection to our Customer Communication Center or branches as below from 9a.m. to 6p.m.,
Monday- Friday (except public holiday) tq.
Headquarters (Shah Alam)-FUJIFILM SERVICE CENTER-
So anyone sent in their camera and change the sensor?

hye,

after days of reviewing/surveying and reading this whole thread..
i finally made up my mind to buy this camera...
initially was considering LX-5, G12 and G1x but somehow,it doesnt satisfied me in terms of reading peoples review and viewing peoples photo.. then i saw,X100 but that is so friggin expensive..as a substitute, i opt to x10..
bcoz of the apperture which is 2-2.8
so, do wait for me to join da'club..is there any suggestion on where to buy and can get the best package and price in klang valley??

Semi Welcome to join the X10 family rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

I did what u did the same model comparison and end up with X10. X100 have all the great comment but not necessary suits some as it does not have zoom, if its one of the buying criteria.

U can check out some sellers on LYN to compare prices. U could also wait for existing stock with new sensor as doubt any new camera stock with new sensor unless its so laku, its short of supplies !!!! but mostly I guess, the existing stock would be replace with new sensor and re-sell it. try to find it out from local Fuji Malaysia.

Others have reported similar results after sensor change. High noise level at
low iso in medium size. It seems to have changed EXR performance somewhat.
Some are going back to old firmware also. I am still on the old firmware and
sensor and quite happy with results i am getting.
hmm.gif warranty 3 mths left still dunno whether to change sensor or not rclxub.gif

If it's ok then don't.

I seem to be facing another problem. Since the lens & sensor combo is new it's pretty tight. And it's hard for me to get to f2 once i zoomed out and zoomed in again. Not impossible just harder than usual. rclxub.gif

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. notworthy.gif
Nowdays Malacca is so colourful and much improved. Its a photographer

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...

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

"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"

I think both are supplied to Fuji by OEM's. The Thumb rest looks exactly
like the new Thumb up EP-6S (new model for X10 only) The EP-5S
for X100 will block the mode dial if used on X10. RM400 plus if
Fuji Malaysia decide to bring in sad.gif

On the X10 when we use the MULTI AF Mode the camera selects the focus area
automatically and on my camera there is always only one focus frame which turn green.
Most other cameras like the S95 and RX100 there are 4 or 5 focus frames
lighting up the areas in focus at the same time. Is it possible to get multiple focus
frames on our X10? or are my settings wrong somewhere. X10 users please help biggrin.gif
Never mind, I will ask Fuji people when I send it fo sensor replacement next month.


Added on August 24, 2012, 9:08 pmIs this the X10 replacement or a new model, Looks like it is sporting a manual zoom like the X10. Is that a touch screen ?
Guess we will know more next month smile.gif

Ken Rockwell has this to say whistling.gif

"POP Photo magazine just tested the RX100 (page 80, Sept 2012 issue), and high ISO performance is horrible, with only an ISO 400 maximum acceptable speed. Forget it if you were mislead into thinking the RX100 has a DSLR sensor, it's just a little sensor with a big marketing campaign behind it.


If you want a posh point and shoot for $650 with a small sensor, get the Fuji X10 for $100 less with far better mechanics, much faster zooming and handling and a faster lens (Sony markets as "f/1.8," but the RX100 lens is only f/4.9 at the long end):"

Emailed fuji malaysia a few days ago regarding the sensor replacement but didnt receive any reply, sent a 2nd mail this time and got a reply as below :

Good day to you! If you believe your Finepix X10 does have a fault, please kindly send your camera attached with the warranty card. If, failure to comply with the terms and conditions as stated in the guarantee card, it will automatically make the guarantee void. it will need to be looked at by our Camera Repairs Technicians at HQ for assessment. We do not provide any quotes or estimates until we have inspected the camera. So, you may send in your camera for inspection to our HQ or branches as below from 9.15a.m. to 5.45p.m., Monday- Friday (except public holiday) only.

I thought the sensor replacement is FOC and doesn't need any fault? Or I need to show proof of the orb issue before they agree to replace the sensor?

hi, my girlfriend owned a d3100 with 1855 kit lens, but she seldom use it because to her, its very bulky and heavy, so question is, is it wise to sell of the d3100 and buy the fuji x10 for her??

i know im comparing a dslr and a compact here( like comparing apple and orange), but i just want to hear some opinions. thanks in advance.

If you want truly pocketable powerhouse, have a look at the Sony RX100. But if you like retro styling with lots of manual control, look no further.

technically it is a much slower lens.
f/1.8 to f/2.0 at wide angle is pretty insignificant, while f/4.9 of whatver that model is called to the f/2.8 of X10? X10 wins.
also obviously has less buttons to attract the more general consumer crowd, so i wouldnt be surprised if it comes out priced somewhere between RM1.5 to 1.7k...

Yeah better send it then. My camera seems fine now. Been using it a lot this hari raya. EXR is so nice to use when i'm not using the external flash. High ISO is no problem but ends up blur since the shutter speed is too slow. tongue.gif

No la. This one targeted at S100. One look can tell already. tongue.gif

So now Fuji have 6 camera in the X lineup. Should look like this by price.

XF1, X10, XS1, X100, XE1, XP1

Fujifilm X10 been great man...but still it all comes down to the fact that it's a semi pro camera, the quality is not as GREAT as DSLR. so i sold it off and get a DSLR

Well it is still a compact with a small sensor. Though many of my friends say the picture is nice, like a DSLR. But that's majorly because it's damn good enough for web use. At 100% zoom the detail can never match bigger sensor system.

I'm not bloody rich enough to invest into a system but i don't intend to be too serious anyway. It's just a hobby and this camera is good enough with some manual control & external flash.

So far i really like to use it with face detection & Astia color simulation. Add in a polarizer to use it outside the color is even better. biggrin.gif

I still hope Fuji can fix the dodgy AF and metering with a new firmware. icon_question.gif
