Does anyone know where I could find any real world RAW files online from the X10? Fancying getting my hands on a couple to have a play about...
This is the JPEG straight out of camera - I quite like it!
Tell me what sort of shot you want and I'll have a dig in my archives...Does anyone know where I could find any real world RAW files online from the X10? Fancying getting my hands on a couple to have a play about...

ISO high or low, contrasty scene or one that is relatively normal ?
I guess I'm asking if you want a RAW that shows the X10 to it's best, or one that pushes it quite hard but still produces usable results.
For example I can offer a RAW that was shot in conditions so dark I couldn't actually see if the group were in the image (they weren't), but the internet pic from it looks great. Ditto with a high contrast scene showing the X10's stellar shadow recovery.
Edited to add - this was pretty much the last image I took on my X10.
ISO 800, 1/15s and a faulty IS that appears to have been working in this shot.
Still one of my favourite caving images despite only using on camera flash.
Looks a bit ropey when pixel peeping but will produce an exhibition quality A4 print no bother at all.
More than happy to share this RAW
Here's a selection of four RAW files, only one of them hits the X10's sweet spot (ISO 100, f4), so you should have plenty of opportunity to see what they look like under a wide range of use.Don't mind what type of scene etc pal any would do! If you could email a RAW two over or something that would be smashing

I'm happy to leave the RAWs up there for at least a month for people to download and play with.

The usual caveat applies - DON'T PIXEL PEEP
X10 RAW files don't great look viewed at 100%, that's normal - but ISO 800 will produce a cracking A4 print and ISO 200 is easily capable of producing an exhibition quality A3 print.
If in doubt, do the print and comment on anything you can spot in the print; don't worry, it will look fine
For those who have upgraded to the X20/X30 - there's not a great difference in image quality; the same rules of thumb regards printing still seem to apply.
There is slightly more lens flare than the X10 which I attribute to the vastly superior IS, but apart from that....
For example, I'm just entering a caving photo salon and one of my X30 images has made the final cut; rest of the eight images are from the 5DIII.
ISO 800, 1/10s, hand-held, spray everywhere and a darned cold photographer. This image looks amazing printed to A4.
Yes that is better... I like that, nice rich colours
It's not that...When you say the RAW's don't look good at 100% Is that because of the small sensor not producing the pixel quality etc.or the fact the RAW's need slightly sharpening compared to the JPEG's Say?
It's not that...
Viewed at 100% the weird XTRANS sensor layout looks kinda painterly; it doesn't have the biting pixel level clarity you get from a conventional sensor.
If you enjoy pixel peeping then it will be an uncomfortable experience.
It took me quite a long time to stop pixel peeping and trust that the results will give me the images I expect when either printed or downsampled.
Been abusing my little Fuji's for years and the image quality has always been fine.Just having a look at the shots now and see what you mean, as you say pixel peeping doesn't give the best experience but just having a look around at around 25-30% the files look really nice. As you said before the Shadow recovery in all fairness is pretty damn good, think its nearly about time I parted with my money and got one

I've never had the slightest worry about the images being being up-to-par, even from 'paid for' work where I'm submitting images from both the little Fuji X10/X30 and the 5DII / 5DIII, even though the DSLR images are significantly higher image quality.
IMHO the biggest mistake with the little Fuji's is trying to take too much control.
It's how I drive my DSLR and the same techniques don't get the best from the little cameras.
99% of my images I just leave the the Fuji in P mode (P for Professional) and let it get on with it.
Nice thing about the X30 is that the viewfinder removes the guesswork for exposure compensation. I find I can't rely on the rear screen as my perception is influenced by the ambient light. Using the viewfinder, the X30 nails the shot every single time
I'm still in the aperture priority stage.... i'll give P a shot, never used it on any camera.You know what I am now realising that to, when I first got the X20 ( now gone ) and then the X30 I was using them like my DSLR on aperture priority and I was struggling a bit to get what I wanted and also did not trust the camera when it choose F2 as I thought it was to wide for a small camera and would be soft..... Totally wrong F2 is very sharp and I am now happy to let the camera do all the work on P or SR+ mode. Plus that is exactly the reason I got the camera, to be a more simply experience and different from my day job (wedding photographer) and it works really well and is a total joy to use
I tried it once.I'm still in the aperture priority stage.... i'll give P a shot, never used it on any camera.

Get an LX100 thenI use P mode all the time on my X10; can't be a****d changing aperture and shutter speed on little dials on the back of cameras!

Well for me its nice to have the little dials if needed but to just use P mode or even SR+ mode is a nice change from my day job (wedding's)
Castle Square, Swansea. A really miserable looking place now. There used to be gardens there years ago and they dug them up for this!
This is how it used to look!!! Not my pic.
Nice Set Al.
Swansea Council for you, they have basically messed up the Center with things like this and the Kingsway IMO. I read recently they are going to stop the bendy buses, the amount of money they have spent on them and the changes to the highwyas are rediculous. Never see more than a dozen people on them!
Just wondering if anyone has used both the X20 and Sony RX100MK1. They are both compacts I am looking at. X20 is cheaper. Just wondering if the RX100 is worth the extra over it?
Pretty much what i found. Technically better quality, but you fight with the camera to get it.It depends what you want really.....
I also looked at them both before I bought the X30 and the Sony has its strengths like a big sensor so its great in low light and the photos are larger so there is scope to crop into photos BUT the big turn off for me was the fact the sony has no viewfinder (it has in the later models) and the macro is not any way near as good as the Fuji which I like to use. Also I understand the Sony is not as nice to use and the menus are bad to use
