Thread: Fuji X10 Sample Images

I think the photos are too artificially smoothed and they are very low contrast. Fuji F30 photos at ISO200 were much sharper than this. ISO400 and 800 is smooth but weirdly soft and plasticky.

I am still waiting to see raws and a compatible raw converter, but these samples are giving me less hope than before.

I'm not willing to give up yet but certainly, and unfortunately, can't tell anything from those images. My guess is that the RAW converter will be the same as with other Fuji cameras. My F550 and my X100 both generate RAF raw files.

The RAW converter works like the one in the X100, aka you can change everything anytime after the fact in order to produce new and better JPEGs in camera.

I have yet to try the converter in the camera on my X100. Gotta' give it a try sometime. Sue, any advantages over just making the changes in LR or similar program?

I really don't usually pay much attention to these sorts of photos. Generally speaking I think just about all sample photos look pretty bad. Heck the X100's samples weren't anything to get excited about but once I saw what the camera could do for myself, I was sold.

Did someone say, "ISO 800"?

One idea is to download the Silkypix Software that comes with the camera, Shoot in RAW and then convert/save to tiff then open in Adobe PS or LR. I did this with the G3 before Adobe updated their software and it works very well.

To be fair the Silky pix software isn't too bad and it does a pretty good job even if it is pretty basic.

Andy,
It should be the same as the x100, or even the 550, in terms of RAW file format I think.

I saw a sunset picture at the ocean taken by the X10 somewhere and I couldn't believe the DR in the picture. I think there is a setting for this. I just wish they had put a larger sensor in the camera. Even the size of the new Nikon 2.7 x crop cameras. Is the price supposed to be $ 599? when they are available?

Some should hit the stores next week, I'm eagerly waiting for mine to arrive.
