    Fuji Going X10

    To my mind, the X10 is pretty close to being perfect. Yeah, it has issues...but it's small, it's beautifully put together, it's sturdy as a tank, it's flexible in terms of control, it's quiet and doesn't draw much attention (which is nice if you do street work), and because it's relatively...

    Fuji Zooming with your feet???

    The phrase isn't meant to be taken literally. It's a reminder that photography--even street photography--is often as much about forethought as it is about reaction. To my mind, 'zooming with your feet' includes putting yourself in the right spot, and that requires a photographer to think and...

    Fuji The X10 brought the joy back

    I have a friend who complains the X10 isn't really 'pocketable.' I suppose there's some truth to that -- and if you're looking for a true pocket camera, the X10 probably isn't the way to go. But I have no trouble sliding it into (and, more importantly, out of) a jacket pocket and it fits just...

    Fuji Which bag/case/pouch for X10?

    Now that the weather is cold I don't even use a bag; I just slide my X10 into a jacket pocket and go. It helps to have a wrist strap rather than the bulkier neck straps (I have a Gordy wrist strap, fwiw). But when it's warm I tote the X10 around in an old Crumpler bag (a model no longer in...

    Fuji X10 for beginner

    I think the X10 is easy enough for a beginner and sophisticated enough for the advanced amateur or pro. It's a flexible camera; you can use it as a point-and-shoot if you want (and don't underestimate the EXR auto mode; it's surprisingly good) or you can assume complete manual control (although...

    Working in alleys

    Shortly after I got my X10 I began a series of architectural photos shot in alleyways. The same qualities that make it a great little camera for street photography also make it idea for alley work. It's inconspicuous and quiet, and with a wrist strap it draws almost no attention. The people who...

    X100 good for street

    I can't speak for the X100, but the X10 has become my preferred everyday camera -- and that includes street photography. It's subtle and inconspicuous (especially the all-black version), it's incredibly quiet, and it's solid; the thing is built like a damned tank. The X10 doesn't make...

    Fuji The X10 brought the joy back

    I've been shooting photos for a few decades now. I was introduced to photography on a cheap Leica knock-off rangefinder. Totally manual, of course, which meant I had to learn and understand the fundamentals: aperture, shutter speed, film speed, depth of field, grain. Every camera I bought after...

    Fuji After winning the forum's contest X20...

    If I were to win a new X20, I'd probably donate my current X10 to the local Veteran's Center where they teach basic photography workshops to disabled vets. Or, you know...I'd do that dog and cat thing.
