?..if only the XF had a hotshoe!
Nice shots George. Love the berries.
Thanks Rene. I find that the XF1 takes good close up pictures of insect.....always popping out in the garden to try and find something a little different to photographLike the web too Martin ! And the shots previously of the insects. Unbelievable the clarity of shot close up, especially the wee spider one. Down to operator skill of course though ;-)
Whenever I take pictures of her when she is running, her ears always seem to be 'up'Like your rabbit dog in your profile??
What else are you going to take pictures of the X20 with then?
Wondering if the XF1 is ever going to get used again...
If only the xf1 had a viewfinder ! I'm seriously coincidering getting a secondhand one for our upcoming trip to Oz, but worried the screen will be a pain in bright light. It looks just soooo portable that apart from having to take shots via the screen (which I don't like anyway, but prepared to adapt) I think it would prove to be a much better holiday tool than the X20, as it would be a cinch to carry everywhere. Because of that, I can see it being used a fair bit more. Of course the x20 would work but having a camera that doesn't hamper the freedom of a holiday, being able to slip into short pockets as easy and a wallet, kinda appeals really. Oh decisions decisions !! ;-)

All processed with VSCO via Lightroom. Really like the VSCO presets, can see me using them alot.
I have not used the XF1 in ages, pity really as it's an ideal size for a pocket. Even in average daylight out doors I can't see the screen clearly, great for indoors though. I have now put the XF1 away, and I only use the X10 now.
I used my XF1 in full sunlight every day over this summer. The only thing I did have to do is up the screen brightness and ignore any blown highlights on screen. The reason was the actual photo never had any blown highlights so was just the screen brightness itself. Not ideal but usable.I have not used the XF1 in ages, pity really as it's an ideal size for a pocket. Even in average daylight out doors I can't see the screen clearly, great for indoors though.

That's probably sealed it for me then, X20 it is, cheers.

Yeah the x20 does deal with CA really well. Haven't noticed any changes in Lr 5.6 with regards to camera profiles for it though? Is it just CC??
I can't say I have ever noticed any issues with the screen, as above I have adjusted the screen brightness a couple of times but mostly it sits at 0.
Guys, I need help from someone who knows the X20 well. I have an X10, and I'm visiting my sister who has an X20. We're going to take some shots of her riding shortly. I went outside to check, and her X20 doesn't seem to be writing to the SD card. I've looked at all the settings, and can't see anything relevant. I've checked the lock on the SD card. I've put her SD card in my X10, which writes images nicely to it. I've put my SD card in her X20, and it won't write to it. Everything sounds just fine, the shutter fires away, but the little light that shows it's writing to the card doesn't come on, and image review doesn't happen; when you use the playback button, only earlier images (shot on my camera) are on the card.
Any ideas? She hasn't used it for a while. Her battery is charging, but my spare Energiser battery is is the X20, and seems to be performing nicely AFAICS.
I'm very much hoping there's an X20 setting we got wrong, rather than a broken camera. There was a setting for Eye-fi, which was on (the card is not an Eye-fi card). I've turned it off. The camera didn't write images either way. Any ideas?
That's probably sealed it for me then, X20 it is, cheers.
Sounds like you have done all the checks that are necessary. I can find no setting on the camera that switches off the write to the card... as it reads back from your card the contacts must be ok.
Can you do a factory reset on the camera to see if that joggs it back to life?
X20 just come up for sale in the classifieds...
Not mine by the way
Love the fact it's £70 more than what I paid for mine brand new aswell.
Maybe i should sell...
