is £205 a good price ?
Judging by the photos you posted before, you dont need any more! Leave some for the rest of us! ;-)Think I want a little more from a camera now..
Very kind, thanks.
I have a "need" for an articulated screen nowadays because I have issues with my knees, meaning that if I crouch down I can't get back up. Not ideal at 44
Am trying to find examples of the x30 useage - doesn't seem to have been very popular ? Is that due to the sensor size compared to that that the competition offered ?
I have a similar problem, dodgy knees run in my family so yeah, articulated screen was a must for me too.Very kind, thanks.

Up and out bright and early with the X10, got some nice photos and video. Noticed that the screen has a slight wobble, when composing. Does this in both video and photo mode. Must say, I have never noticed this before.
Just viewed a video, after the wobble in the LCD screen. The finished video also wobbles, a bit like a jelly.You are probably noticing the IS doing its work.
I thought hard about it but managed to hold off until they'd sold out.I purchased an X30 off the refurb today as I already have an XT1 and a X100T. I've decided to sell the X100T and replace it with the X30.
I would try it again to check .Just viewed a video, after the wobble in the LCD screen. The finished video also wobbles, a bit like a jelly.![]()

Been out with it today, doing both photos and video. Had the odd wobble now and again, maybe the Image stabilisation has gone. No point getting such an old, and inexpensive camera looked atI would try it again to check .
if it still does it, it may be a problem with the IS
Hi all,
My daughters XF1 has developed the sticky aperture blades problem, luckily towards the end of her time in Peru.
Is there anything DIY that can be done? I'm not sure it's worth getting it professionally repaired.
Certainly not worth paying money out for a fix. Not sure if there are any DIY fixes, that can be done.Hi all,

Have Fuji refused to fix it? They were good about repairing mine (and so they should - the number of failed units indicates a faulty component/design flaw).

Been there myself, only remnants I have left of my XF1, are the battery , charger , strap, oh and the lovely photos it took.I have considered a lump hammer but that might just be my frustration!
At the very least, have a go yourself and document your efforts. If you succeed, post a guide. If fuji wont do it you have nothing to lose.![]()
I did the same, I recorded myself taking apart my failed XF1. Could not use the video content, too much foul language.At the very least, have a go yourself and document your efforts. If you succeed, post a guide. If fuji wont do it you have nothing to lose.![]()
Thanks for that, I'll still keep the X30 on my shopping list then.I just plug my Nissin i40 into the hot-shoe and it works. Presumably this is one of the improvements over the X10.
For video I would go with the X20. I have the X10 and it produces pretty good video, I am assuming the X20 is similar. I tend to pick my focal length and stay there, as too much zooming in and out makes it hunt for focusing. I keep mine on center focus, rather than continuous. Video recording time is 29 minutes, and it is in the H.264, MOV format.Can those knowledgeable on this thread help, please... my sister wants me to video her getting some training on her horse in an indoor school. She'll be riding round the edges of the school in a rather large oval (I guess) and the instructor will be in the middle. So she'll sometimes be quite near and sometimes far away. Quality does not have to fantastic, just enough so she can view her lessons later and see what she and the horse are doing. Options are the X20 with its zoom or the iPad for simplicity (she uses a Mac) but no zoom.
The X20 manual doesn't seem to say much (AFAICS) about video, eg how long a video can be made, what formats (and limitations thereof for viewing on a Mac, iPad or TV), etc. Is there any advice you can give me? I'm favouring the X20 on a monopod at the moment, assuming I can get her and horse better in frame by zooming in when she's far away and in when near, and swivelling as she passes by. But any hints welcome... Thanks
Thanks John, we'll experiment with this. We've got until Thursday to get it sorted.For video I would go with the X20.

You can also choose a film simulation, and use exposure comp, while in video mode.
