Thread: Fuji X10 or Oly XZ1?

BBW: Sure, there is not much to tell about myself, as am just a hobbiest and like to travel with my cameras, but will sure do so soon on Welcome forum, pleasure.

I am also very excited about this little trip, no X10 has gone and am taking only Oly XZ-1 with me. GH1 D5100 E-P1 and G3 can stay at home, no matter how big and better sensors they are.

Oh this reminds me I need to update my signature; no X10 anymore :(

I am still liking the X10 for what it is, did ok at 3200 ISO last night, only comment would that I had to leave the exposure comp at -1.3 to 2when shooting in the dark

Good to hear from you, I agree that the X10 is an extremely nice camera. Although I did send mine back, I may buy it again down the line.

I am keeping mine as a sort of general purpose camera, a grab and go

I should have and may yet, Bob.

I handled one (X10) this past Monday. had I not already fallen in love with my XZ-1 I would have opted for the Fuji :)

I have the XZ-1, which I like, and have the x-10 on the way (should get here tomorrow). If your brother wants to use jpegs and not raw, I'd steer him away from the XZ-1. The raw files are quite usable, but the jpegs have too much noise reduction applied and then aggressive sharpening applied to the resulting mush. I usually find Oly's jpegs pretty good, even if I go to raw for important stuff, but with the XZ-1 I shoot exclusively in raw; the jpegs really are that bad.
