After selling on the Sony RX100 after less than a week due to no auto ISO in manual, It was my first little foray with the X20 and the kids. In the main I enjoyed using it. The manual zoom really helped chasing the kids. The dual wheel to control shutter/aperture worked well too allowing me to quickly change the settings without worrying too much about the ISO.
Seems like the sensor doesn't like ISO 3200 for me, appears its limit is 1600 on first play, but not a deal breaker.
I seemed to accidently press some of the four way wheel controls a few times whilst just holding it, which was annoying. Sure i'll get used to switching it off instead as it come back on so quick. Also, lack of auto lens cover lead to sticky fingermarks. lol.
No way is the X20 anything put coat pocketable, not trouser like a RX100, but maybe i'll get used to it?
Took some really nice shots of the kids, so happy days. Not sure whether i'll keep the camera long term, we'll see, but I think i'm gonna want the slimmer profile of a RX100/Canon G7X. Don't know.
Here's a few from this afternoon.
Botanical Gardens, Sheffield this with a lovely glow from the late afternoon sun. Not sure i've quite done it justice though.
