![]() ![]() The X10 was released about a year ago and I’ve had my copy for almost two months now. You can still change setting, and quite rapidly too with the quick menu button (usually it’s the button labeled “RAW” more on this later). Then all you have to do is switch between the two. Then reconfigure it for normal lighting and save it to the other one. You can set up the camera to shoot bright scenes, for example, and save those setting to C1 or C2. Luckily for the X10, there are two custom settings on the mode dial: C1 and C2. The features of the 5D, for example, are available for any situation, and you can switch any of them in any combination. The X10 has comparable features to a DSLR, but they are not available all the time. With these specs, you’d wonder why you would pay a few thousands of dollars on an DSLR like the 5D or even the 7D.

Luckily, Fuji decided to take pity on me and developed the X10. I had a short-lived lust affair with the Fujifilm X100 as a cheap alternative to a Leica M8/M9, but given its negative reviews as far as handling I was on the fence about spending $1200 on a camera that I may not be happy with. I needed something that would allow me to be as creative as with my Canon 5D gear, but in a much smaller package. At one point, the Canon G-series was my only logical choice, but the aperture on the long end of the zoom lens was too narrow for me to produce “bokehlicious” images that I like to take. I never was a big fan of using an LCD for photography. As a DSLR shooter, my expectations for any camera are usually quite high, but my yearning to have a “pocketable” camera that I can take with me everywhere and use as inspiration dictates tends to make my search for something affordable a daunting task.
