Thread: Fate of the X10

You could also look at it this way, once the X20 ships you'll likely see a bunch of X10's hit the used market and if they're cheap enough they'll have a new life as a "bargain" camera.

Yes, I'm sure it will do very well in the used market. I wonder how quickly the new stock will go? I bought the Nikon V1 once the prices dropped considerably and I believe the J1/V1 was a really good seller after the price drop. In the current climate I don't think so many people are riding the crest of the wave and instead wait it out and pick up the flotsam.

X10 £289 at Cameraworld in London and Chelmsford.. New....not used.

Now that the X20 is out, it's clear that many of us don't like it's jpegs nearly as much as those from the X10. Don't get me wrong; the X20 is a great little camera, and since I shoot raw, the jpeg engine is not my primary concern, but the X10 had its own special magic that the X20 does not replcate. It's a very different camera, despite the identical good looks.

If you love the X10, you might love the X20, but there is no guarantee; I'd keep my X10 until you know if you are going to like the new model.

I do think the X10 will have a special place in X history, as the successor ditches the EXR sensor for an X-trans. Nice, but not the same at all.

I and my X10 are in Lisbon right now. My second most favourite travelling companion ;)

I was so disappointed with the X20 having come to love my X10.
The X10 remains my nearly perfect compact from a handling viewpoint and can still take unique shots with the EXR sensor and Fuji colour.
Happily my new acquisition , Sony RX100 , is sufficiently different for me to still enjoy both and has amazing IQ that blows the X10/X20 away.
