I reckon irs new m8
Yeah I am beginning to think the same Just waiting to hear back from DigitalRev before I open any further
I reckon irs new m8
So on your label that was on the front of the package it said "NEW"
Boxes never say new, but apart from having the battery in it like they said there was no evidence it was other than new.
Neither said anything to suggest that it might not be new.
I do use my X10 for little video clips, the quality is pretty good. I do like using it for video, it's just a little bulky though.Thanks @Terrywoodenpic for your input. I am aware there are cameras out there that are better for movies but the stills from the Fuji seem very appealing as I am always amazed from the XF1 output. I simply want to take random clips of family members in-between shooting stills to form short 2 or so minute trailers. I have my Nikon kit for more serious and involving work.
The other annoying aspect of the XF1 is the 4.9 aperture when zoom in. The X30 at 2.8 would allow for better zoomed images. The only thing is the size puts me off but at around £250 it offers a lot.
Ahh right..... I will see what DigitalRev say
Well all seems good. Just got email back from digitalrev saying it was a labeling mistake and they don't sell refurbished gear. Also looking at my box and sealed bag with fuji security label I am going to trust them.
Plus I think if they were being sneaky or anything they would not have put the refurbished label on for all to see

I have tried my friends X20 and that seems similar quality to my X10, is the X30 really that much better? I thought they were all the same sensors I love the X10 for both stills and video, I would just love it in a smaller packageDon't get me wUOTE="John Young, post: 7005027, member: 14516"]
Don't get me wrong I was reasonably happy with the movie rusults from my x10 and x20, but the x30 movies are an entirely different experience.
With a wide range of frame rates and qualities and the option to use an external microphone. The quality is rather better than the results from some professional wedding video I have seen.

That is a bone of contention. the on-line version is pretty horrible with large gaps and impossible to navigate quickly.Has anyone managed to get an X30 manual printed? The manuals I've found online don't seem to lend themselves to printing.
Thanks,

Thanks for the info, I did not know all that. Well that's pretty handy to know, for future reference. Although for future purchases I was set on the Canon S120 or Sony RX100 mk1, mainly for their compactness. The Sony looks favourable, especially as the prices are dropping. It wont be too long, before they are under £200The X10 uses a Cmos EXR with a unique filter arrangement. The X20 and X30 use the X-Trans CMOS II sensor with the same features as in the Xpro1 camera. And a different filter arrangement to the X10. to eliminate moire effects.
The X10 is considered by many to produce the best Jpeg images straight out of the camera. However Its raw images are very difficult to process to match them in quality.
The Cine quality on the X10 and X20 are very similar indeed however the The X30 produces full HD images of 1920x1080 at frame rates from 24fps to 60fps
and at up to 250fps at 320x112 for extreme slow motion and many settings between. The cine processing firmware has been totally revamped and produces much more detailed images.( less smudging) So although the sensor is the same (or very similar) to the X20 the results are different.
If you are happy with the movie results from your X10 you would be over the moon with those from the X30. They have still got a very long way to go to even approach the quality you can get from better DSLR's, with their large sensors and professional film features.
Here's a photo from today's caving trip with the X30.
Amazed this came out as it is a large chamber, minimal lighting, and is hand held!
The caver is only half way across the chamber, but if they had been further away they would have dropped down out of sight

Thanks John!That is an awesome site and a great photo Those layers in the background there look really interesting

Thanks both!
If yesterday seems a tad mad - today is going to be the real proof
The original plans have been rained off; photo reccie of a new discovery here in Mendip. Current conditions would mean descending a 100ft rope under a waterfall; not nice.
So we are going somewhere else; an abandoned mine. My first visit
Duncan, where do you get all that energy from? If I am feeling up to it, I may brave it and take my X10 to a local park today. That's about as extreme as it gets for me .Thanks both!

Just back from the park, only stayed out for an hour. Did not bother taking the X10 as it was too bright to see anything meaningful, and the OVF is pretty useless on the camera. But it was a nice walk with the dog, that's about as energetic it gets for meI could not even do that after a LONG day shooting a wedding yesterday
John, you need an X30!!! OK, no OVF but the EVF is pretty bloody good and is a proper WYSIWYG as well as showing useful things like the artificial horizon. The parallax and the lens's intrusion into the VF of the 10 and 20 make the 30 a much nicer handling experience and as I'm sure you're aware, the IQ is the same as the 20's.
Yes, it was. I'm dreading the almost inevitable demise of my XFs and wondering what to replace them with. I'm thinking a belt pouch, possibly repurposing my golf scrotum (well, what else do you call something that holds a couple of balls and some things to rest them on while driving?!) to carry the X30 (unless the 40 is a significant upgrade...)
Well done but its not just the camera but the eye behind the lens.Result!
Just had the image requests in for the latest batch of Arts Trail publicity photos.
26 images in total, 14 from the DSLR and 12 from the X30.
These are the images they want to use for printing and need top image quality; the X30 did a cracking job!
ThanksWell done but its not just the camera but the eye behind the lens.
How about the Sony I have not yet got a replacement for mine, feels pretty imminent though
