Fuji Fuji X10 Sample Images

A lot of rain, lately?! nippa, thanks for these! I do hope the manual is helpful, though they're usually not the most well written they do have helpful information. The good thing is that there are quite a few of you X10 folks so you can help each other out.;)
 
Here are the images that I talked about on the previous post. Both JPG, 7.1mm, 1/15 seconds.

I set the first photo at ISO 1600, aperture priority, 12 mp file. Then downsized it to 6 mp in Lightroom with LR's default settings.

On the 2nd photo, I set the camera on the EXR dial, and chose the high ISO, low noise mode. It's automatically a 6 mp file. I thought the camera was going to shoot at ISO 1600, but it went to 1250. So this comparison is not the best, because the first image is ISO 1600.

But here they are anyway. Oopst, I just realized that these two 100% crops may have been larger than the maximum allowed for uploads, so the images seem to have been downsized a little bit more. Sorry!

Hope someone will post better comparisons!
 
Ya know, I actually prefer your last samples. They seem more natural and the vision comes thru easier.
The exr stuff kinds blocks the read of the image as one gets lost in the amplified tones and forgets about the actual image.
Thanks....don

As do I. Very nice shots and not hurt at all IMHO by the lack of EXR. I'm finding the same in many of my images as well. I'm finding the EXR settings to be really useful in low light situations but less so for everyday shooting on bright days. If I'm shooting directly into the sun, I've sometimes shot one with and one without and the results are sometimes better with and sometimes better without. But for the vast majority of shooting, I'm just ignoring the EXR settings and shooting in the full res mode, with all of my familiar controls. And liking the results. I think EXR was developed as a really nice tool to expand the capability of really limited sensors. Its not a BAD tool to have available on the X10, but I don't think this camera really needs it very often.

Actually, regarding contrast and dynamic range, there shouldn't be much difference between EXR DR400 and conventional DR400. Of course, in conventional mode one gets twice the resolution.
 
I think someone may have asked earlier if the X10 has face detection. Yes, it does. I dropped by the local shop to play with it again (but it ran out of battery 5 minutes later). The face detection was not very sensitive though, and didn't always detect the faces. And even when it would detect a face, it reverted to normal AF as I half-pressed the shutter.

Can actual X10 owners chime in on the face detection? Thanks!
 
When I was playing around with the X10 on the streets of NYC, I was amazed at how good the face detection was at picking out faces from a busy scene. Even shooting from the hip, I'd sometimes take a quick shot, raise it up to look at it after the fact, and the green square would still be nailed to a face. BUT, even when it found the face, it often couldn't focus on it as fast as I was shooting, so I had any number of well detected faces well out of focus. Mostly due to me, not the camera. So I reverted to zone focus, which is almost always a better bet for street shooting (the exception for me being the EPL3 with the 12 or 14, which both seem to nail auto-focus even shooting from the hip waaaaaay more often than not - this can be good in low light when the aperture is too large for much DOF). But I'd say the face detection on the X10 was surprisingly good, based on my limited experience.

DPR just put up a gallery of X10 images. They're well labelled in terms of whether they're shot with EXR or not, DR or SN, the DR percentage, film mode, etc. Aside from a few screwy examples where they were shooting in EXR SN mode in really good light, it should be pretty helpful to those trying to get a feel for what the camera does in different modes. One tip - don't just expand the gallery shot - it shows all kinds of weird fragments and doesn't blow it up very smoothly. Go and click on one of the sizes offered and you'll get a MUCH cleaner looking version to check out. Here's the link:

Lovely, nippa - including Squirrel Nutkin! Very nice range of colors and that light on the tree's trunk and on one of its boughs! Beautiful!

Heck, maybe I should dwell on the X10 some more...it's certainly much more in my price range's ballpark that the future planned Fuji ILC!:drinks:
 
Hi BB,

Well I'm learning that there's a lot more to these EXR sensors than meets the eye and I'm just about keeping up with some of the technical discussion on DPReview.
I had hankered after the X100 and went into the shop 3 times to handle it.
Problem was - my Leica X1 and the X100 really cover the same ground and in all honesty I don't like to be limited to a Prime lens.
When I saw the X10 advertised I thought that's for me. but what I'd really like is the X10 scaled up to APS-C size ; next year perhaps :)
 
I hear you, nippa and do understand. Not the EXR stuff, that I don't have my mind wrapped around quite yet. It's true a zoom in APS-C size would be something, wouldn't it?

If I recall you had a D-Lux or an LX5 for a while...but weren't happy, am I right? But you're finding this X10 to be quite different?
 
I have a DLux4 which is a gem of a camera at base ISO but its replacement - the LX5 - has a softer lens and aggressive processing which rather negated the camera's other improvements.
This little Fuji has a sharper lens than the LX5 , fabulous colour and reminds me of the old Canon G series. Still in the Honeymoon period of course but I love it:)

On the downside , there are so many variables to shooting with the X10 I'm never sure if I could do better with other settings.

More than 80% of these variables can be changed and tried out after taking shots, so that's no downside for me. I usually shoot with standard/auto settings regarding film mode, noise, sharpness, shadows, highlights, white balance, saturation etc., to change all that later depending on what I see in the standard JPEG later. All I need to care about when shooting is resolution (L or M), which translates into EXR off or on. From there, it's only framing, focussing, exposing and pressing the button. With or without flash. Quite simple, I don't know a camera with less variables and worries. OK, maybe the X100 which works the same way.
