X20's are down to £300 in Currys I noticed earlier.
You were looking!

Just a wee glance....
Must admit I was veering towards the XF1 for the reasons you mentioned, plus I can get closer and get more family members in the frame. Just the X10 can do f/2.2 at 50mmI'd go with the XF1, the extra stop from the f1.8 and more compact design would be better in a dark club.

But I suppose it would make more sense to get closer wider lighter and brighter, with the XF1
There is little to choose between the XF1 and The X10 But those with the X20 would find the focussing far better in poor light and the sensor better at higher ISO. Both the X10 and X20 have viewfinders that are very helpful indoors.
I have tried the viewfinder of the X10, but I find it pretty useless really. There is no exposure information plus you have no idea what you are focusing on, also the parallax error is pretty bad.
Just been testing both the XF1 and X10 side by side indoors, with good light and I must say I prefer the images at 50mm f/2.8 of the X10. I was taking photos of my Cat and Dog, so it will probably be different taking photos of people in a dimly lit Club. So it will probably be the XF1 by the looks of things so far.
Like many of my age I was brought up on optical view finders. None of which gave any information, suffered from parallax and were inaccurate. By comparison that on the x10 is no problem at all. Like target shooting you soon learn where to aim.
people In the 1930 , 40s and 50, s managed very well. I have never much bothered about data in the viewfinder as I can remember what I have set. Though it hellps to have a rangefinder square. But I can estimate the centre well enough.
Gad-Westy - The raw file support comes and goes both for the XF1 and X10 on Aperture, the update before last re-instated it and the last update removed it very frustrating. I used DNG RAW convertor and then loaded them in Aperture, but this was a drag. Apple are stopping Aperture soon so I upgraded an earlier version of Lightroom to version 5 (costs about £50) and am going back to using this. Adobe also have a guide telling you how to import your Aperture files in Lightroom.
John, XF1 all the way unless you want to play with OCF.
TBH a viewfinder with no af point is useless.
Aperture sounds wazz aswell, one update supports it and the next removes it?? Wtf!!!
Adobe all the way for me. Usually Lr5.6 but sometimes I send it to cs6 from Lr if I want to do anything else to it but usually Lr is all I need. It's an excellent programme.
What do you mean by loss of editing detail?
The EXR sensor has great dynamic range. Something that the x-trans has been pulled up for.
Lightroom is a non destructive programme so you go back and undo steps as many times as you want and you can always press the reset button and you have the original picture sooc.
Never had an issue with the EXR sensor but then I've never tried the x-trans so can't compare. Is there more detail because of the Low Pass filter not being there? From what I read on another forum (one of the fuji ones) the EXR sensor produced better dynamic range than the x-trans and I have always been impressed with the xf in this area.
Maybe a viewfinder with no AF point in the VF is acceptable for all the old timers with a film background but for all the fly new kids on the block I would imagine it's crapola.
If I edit a raw file in Aperture, highlights, sharpening, spot healing, bla, bla, the actual raaw file is left untouched. So I assume if I were to switch to Lightroom, I would lose that?
I never thought they would fit a 1inch sensor in the X30September and no 1 inch sensor for the x30...

X100T coming though... should be about a grand I reckon!
Thanks for the info.
Seems like Sony have nailed it then with the RX100 3 at the expense of some FL. In a smaller body too.
