I never said anything about the sensor size, just that the baby X cameras are compacts while the others are interchangeable lensed bodies (and lenses).
But I don't think I could post XF10 related stuff, in the main Fuji thread. Or could I?
OK, taIt's a Fuji-X camera Jon, so it's more than welcome on the main Fuji-X thread.
Glad I asked now,reunited Jon
As I feel I would be talking to myself on this thread, as nobody posts on here anymore.
Nobody seems to use their X20 and X30 cameras anymore.
Inclusion of the XF1 here seems an error as the others all share a “2/3“ sensor .
Sorry, I’m just misreading! I meant to write XQ1 but now I see that is 2/3 too and anyway nor what you are using! . The thread title is fine and doesn’t include the XF10 anyway so why would you want to post it here? It clearly belongs in the Fuji X thread. I’ll go the Specsavers …The old defunct faulty XF1, yes that was a 2/3 sensor. Although I was talking about the XF10

Never give up on a faulty XF1. I left mine in a drawer for a couple of years and now it works again!The old defunct faulty XF1, yes that was a 2/3 sensor. Although I was talking about the XF10
My faulty XF1 and went in the bin years ago. My X10 is still faulty, and refuses to work. I tried it about a month ago or so.Never give up on a faulty XF1. I left mine in a drawer for a couple of years and now it works again!
Been taking it out to see if I’ll use a compact over my phone before I splurge on a newer compact that’s less likely to die 10 minutes into a trip. I’ll miss that manual zoom though
Reviving an old thread here; I still use my X10 (see above) but after returning from a walk with the grandchildren this afternoon, the thumb grip on the top right of the camera back has gone missing (not an added accessory, but part of the camera). It's in just the position where you need to put your thumb, so it's really annoying. I thought I saw one for sale on the evil bay, but can't find it now, only those added accessory thumbs-up style grips.
Does anyone know a way to find on of these, original or copy? Thanks.
Bit more searching, and I found this replacement thumb grip for the XT-10, now trying to find out its dimensions.That's a shame. I had the same happen on my X-T10 but luckily I found it.
Maybe Fuji themselves will have the part, it's worth at least contacting support.
If all else fails, you could make something out of sugru to fill the gap - at least it will be a custom fit for your thumb!
Bit more searching, and I found this replacement thumb grip for the XT-10, now trying to find out its dimensions.I've got a feeling it's slightly the wrong shape; I think the camera side of my missing part is flat, but I suspect the XT-10 part curves round the edge of the camera a bit.Just checked, it's not flat and does curve round the camera!
Thanks, that's useful, although not quite enough. The part number is a great tool, will do a search, but sounds unlikely. The XT-10 part is available for £4-£8 from the far East; it's profile is clearly different, but no-one has reported trying it. I guess throwing a fiver at it would be reasonable. The seller I contacted said "I am sorry we do not have size for reference, could you please check your model before purchase?" Ie he wasn't going to get it out and measure it. I have some sympathy since these guys must have warehouses full of stuff.Just found this - https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4549820
About 2/3 down the page you can find the part number, they also mention the XT10 one is different, but might work. There's also an example of one made from sugru.
I have contacted Fuji, no response so far. Based on the DP Review thread, not holding out much hope.That's a shame. I had the same happen on my X-T10 but luckily I found it.

@jimmyjamjojo if your XT-10 is near to hand, could you possibly give me some dimensions for the XT-10 thumb rest?
Thanks Jamies, I'll check that tomorrow.@ChrisR
Here you go. Not the most accurate of measurements but within a mm for each, should at least give you an idea if they'll fit -

That's a bit confusing, but different I think. Seems like he wanted to add a grip like the X10 one on his X100, used the XT-10 one and found it would cover the Q button (whatever that is!). Don't think there's a risk of that with the X10, but as you say, the XT-10 one does look on the large side. Thinking cap will have to go on once I'm more awake...Hah, what a coincidence that I'd see this today too - https://reddit.com/r/fujix/s/SEirnyxnzz
Looks like the X-T10 one is too big. Perhaps some careful cutting could make it work...
PS would it be possible/easy for those with the necessary skills to reduce that printable model, to fit the X10?
Right, back to the missing thumb grip for my X10. I bought a thumb grip for the XT-10 from the evil bay, and it looks like it might do. It is maybe slightly larger, and definitely more prominent, than the original. It doesn't obscure any of the controls on the back, but maybe slightly fouls the door of the battery compartment (which doesn't close anyway). I'm thinking a bit of sanding or perhaps my friend has a dremel which might help!
First, how the back and side currently look:

Terrible photos taken with my old iPhone SE, since I don't have another digicam, sorry!
Um, rubbery plastic? Probably rubber, but couldn't be certain.Is it plastic or rubber? It looks like you could just run a sharp blade down either edge and get a pretty good fit.
Turns out it's fairly rubbery, so "shaving" wasn't really an option. I managed to cut a millimetre off the edge that wraps around the corner, so it no longer fouls the battery door. Slightly less successful was a (probably unnecessary) re-shape of the edge near the control wheel. That has a few jaggedy corners...Um, rubbery plastic? Probably rubber, but couldn't be certain.
It's slightly textured, which is nice, but means if I cut the top or bottom edges (in pic 3 above), it will be a bit obvious. I'm thinking I might try to shave a millimetre or so off the back edge (pic 5 above) and also slightly angle it so it's not quite so prominent.
My DIY skills are terrible, so if it goes wrong I'll have to buy another one, but at £3.70 that's not too bad!
I eventually realised I was being a complete idiot, pulled off the protective layer (rather than trying to split it in half), and stuck it on! It works a treat, so if anyone else loses their X10 (or X20/X30) thumb grip, the aftermarket ones for the XT-10 will work out fine with a little trim!Turns out it's fairly rubbery, so "shaving" wasn't really an option.

Managed to rub off the sticky residue on the camera with my finger, good so far. Now it's described as "Replacement Camera Thumb Rear Grip Cover with Adhesive Tape Unit". The underside is covered in brown, um, paper with 3M on it somewhere. However, I'm assuming the brown paper is cover for the sticky bit, but have not managed to separate it out. Is this just sharp knife, patience and better eye-sight?
