Ignore above - can't bring myself to sell it.
Well, yet another U turn. Have just ordered an X-E2 with 18-55 so my X30 is now up for sale again!
there will be many occasions when you will miss your X30. An XE2 and 188-55 is a fair lump in comparison, and does not have the reach of the X30. If it were me I would hang onto it.
I would like to relieve you of those so have updated your sales thread and sent you a PMOK, the X30 is on its way to a new home. I've put a Lens Hood/Filter/Cap set and case in the classifieds if someone would like to relieve me of them.
Whit walks and band contest in Saddleworth this weekend
Arch Bishop John Sentamu in attendance.
All but one in rather poor light hence slow shutter speeds.
I didnt want to be "that guy" but yeah, I thought the same...nice figure
I didn't mind lol oh and of course I was talking about the guy on the bikeI didnt want to be "that guy" but yeah, I thought the same...
Great lack of posts in this thread lately.
However... I went for a walk round my town yesterday (Uppermill Saddleworth.)
And every thing was looking like summer. so I took a few shots...
Including where I stopped for Coffee ... It is a recycling center and coffee shop so I tried a hand held stitched pan.( 101 degrees finished) certainly not the ideal situation for a hand held with all the lines, chairs and wires, with things both near and far. Massive parallax error potential.
So I gave it a go. set manual every thing. Came out with very few stitching errors. the focus was on the cup on the near table.
When I got home I found I had two miniature bugs in my lens walking around bold as brass, so the camera spent the night in a box with insecticide vapour. no sign of them in the horning ...I hope they have curled up and died somewhere safe.

That's a surprise as it worked when I bought my refurb X30 in April as I paid £208.66 inc delivery. Not as big a discount as it used to be but £15 off is still worth having.Nice.. I was looking at the XQ2 as they'd got those back in stock - but the old PAYPAL12 codes not working for the discount and £5 delivery which isn't even guaranteed next-day I decided to leave it for now and wait to see what pops up in the forums here..
How are you getting on with your X30 - anything I should know??That's a surprise as it worked when I bought my refurb X30 in April as I paid £208.66 inc delivery. Not as big a discount as it used to be but £15 off is still worth having.
Well, my X30 arrived RMSD yesterday and I have to say, having never seen one before, that the quality is amazing - I really didn't expect it to be so well made. I'll put it to good use next week.
However, I think that a hood and filter will be a must - that lens front element is a bit exposed.

I got a XQ2 for my OH, she seems to quite like it, and the IQ is pretty good. Not quite up to the X10 standard, I think. And I really don't like controlling the zoom with that little nipple in front of the shutter button. Nevertheless, a very capable pocket camera.

Yes was just really after something in addition to my X100T that I can stick in my pocket and take anywhere.. getting frustrated with the iphone camera after close to 2yrs using it as my carry everywhere camera..
If you haven't got the XQ2 yet, have you considered the X70?
Much as I love the baby X series, the lack of an eye level VF combined with failing eyesight means that the XF and XQ are only usable (for ME) when I'm wearing bifocals rather than contact lenses so I've migrated to a Panasonic as a pocket camera. Still got all the baby Fujis as well - and prefer their output TBH, it's just that the Panny ticks the VF and shirt pocket boxes that are a need for me.
