JMHO:
The X10 is more of an artistic camera than a technical camera. It's doesn't look that great on spec sheets and defies pixel peeping, but it can produce really striking images. It's quirky to use but is still a very satisfying camera.

Lawrence A. mentioned that he is restless so he neighborhood walked. I'm restless too. Two weeks from right now and I'll be in the air on my way to northern Spain to hike again for a couple of weeks. Last trip there I traveled with my X100s. Knowing I'd be going back I sold the X100s and got the XT1 and then the X10. I have to make a decision!!! XT1 for it's waterproof body, great kit lens, auto-macro mode... X10 for it's portability? So Sunday (X10) and yesterday (XT1) I did quick duplicate neighborhood hikes and took duplicate photos just using Auto mode and Provia to make things simple. Couldn't control the sunlight though. Or the fact that I had a few on the XT1 stuck in manual focus... But as fun as the X10 is, the weighty XT1 is my winner. My favorite photos of the 2 day shoot, X10 first and XT1 second ->
Couldn't agree more.The X-T1 is a terrific camera and it should serve you well on your trek.
I've got the X-Pro1 and some fine glass for it but use the kit lens for almost everything most of the time; it's that great. I've been on a shooting trip today and took the NEX-7 with some manual glass and the X-Pro1 with the kit lens glued to it and didn't miss any of my primes on the Fuji (there was enough light and I had everything else covered with the NEX).XT1 for it's waterproof body, great kit lens, auto-macro mode...

If there's some space left in your luggage why not take the X10 as a backup camera and use it for some casual or candid shots? I've used mine for landscapes in a pinch and wouldn't hesitate to use it in some low-light situations either.

10km away from my cave - X10
That image is a knockout!
Your cave?
Thank you, Kevin. Unfortunately not, my cave is down here in a quiet side alley with a wonderful neighborhood, 70m from the ocean. The cave above is just 10km across the bay (to the left). Keeping my fingers crossed for your upcoming trip to Spain.

For me it's fun, convenient and produces images that have a very appealing quality to them.
Like my man cave, lol.Convenient but odd.
Officially somewhere around 380000; 23000 in 'La Isleta' alone (the upper third in the image) but they must have included dogs, seagulls and pigeons. Another funny number are more than 10 million passengers/year but I rarely see any tourists where I live - maybe because some guidebooks actually warn against visiting there, lol.What's the population?
