Me too, we picked mine up this afternoon, just going through the manual to see if everything works as it should. Bit of a bonus with X10/20 batteries being the same type.Picked up my xf1. It's going under the tree for me on Xmas day from the wife. Be rude not to charge it up first and make sure it works, though! ;-)
How is everyone finding RAW conversion in lightroom? it definitely works on 4.4. but I keep reading reviews suggesting JPG is better and would like to make sure I'm making the most of this cool little camera...
Looking back through this and the old X-10 thread will show that few people bother with raw on their baby X cameras - the JPEGs they give are good enough to make it all but redundant.
I was tempted by the Currys offer too, and have an XF1 sitting next to meI'm still having probs with RAW from my X10, can't seem to get much improvement over JPGs. Using ACR 7.0.0.308 in PS, it takes me ages to get a small improvement and I usually end up with awful noise type artifacts. Any suggestions? Please? For Christmas?
Promised myself "No more new kit", until I've saved up for an XE-1..... but Currys doing the XF1 at that price..... what's a camera addict to do, there should be laws against firms tempting weak willed people like me
Fair enough, just checking that there wasn't a problem with the xf1's raw files!
B****r, just paid £149 for mine on Saturday!

Can't work out why this shot so slow in Ap?
Clear sky's, was in a bit of shade but not dark, was a bit windy
Ap 1/55 ƒ/4.2 ISO 200 13.2 mm
Any ideas as to what's going on[/snip]
Hmm interesting. supposed to have a kind of IS, it was switched onThese little cams can be awkward with their settings, if you up scaled them to their full frame equivalent you might get a shock. At f4.2 that's nearly f17 in full frame speak and not an aperture I am sure you would select for that scene if using a full frame cam. 13.2mm also equates to a focal length of roughly 55mm so your shutter speed was at the bare minimum to avoid handshake.
Ok understand that, the photo above is shot raw the converted to jpeg to display and showing the noiseRAW files always have more noise... with any camera. JPGs are processed incamera.
