So, I have had the X10 now for a couple of weeks. On the plus side I really like the handling and the performance; everything is logical; I have yet to open the instruction book which to me is the mark of a well-designed camera (plus I am a bloke...) I'm finding that my habitual -1/3 exposure setting is generally not needed (I do it to avoid clipping highlights on small sensor cameras). I'm also finding that AF is not entirely reliable - there have been a few occasions where I have had to re-compose on apparently high contrast subjects - maybe it's just me... It is a wee bit small, so I have a half-case on order - we'll see how that goes. Being used to Leica Ms I find myself regularly trying to hook my thumb on a non-existent wind on lever so that may be part of the problem! I have been carrying it with my GXR over the last weekend and did find that the two, while similar, have different placement of minor controls so there were times when I tried to adjust one as the other and vice-versa - user error, basically, but one to remember in fast-moving situations.
Anyway, here are a few shots from last weekend:
