That\'s why I bought the Fuji X10.
That\'s a cool little camera, and I have a soft spot in my heart for Fuji. I love their colors and skin tone. It seems to me, after looking at samples, that the X10 has raised the bar a bit for smaller-sensor cams. I was tempted, I can tell you.
For the increment in cash and camera size, though, I think I would hold out for the G1 X. No, wait, that sounds too much like I am going to go out and actually buy one! I\'ll probably just sit on my hands and watch the parade go by, like I have been doing for the past 5 years. ;D But you never know.
I am pretty spoiled now with a big sensor with big pixels. I don\'t think I could go back to a true small sensor cam. I truly appreciate that extra little bit of fine detail and the smoother images. The sensor in the G1X is a LOT bigger than the X10. The sample images from the X10 are very, very good for a compact sensor. But the sample images from the G1 X made me go \"Wow!\". They look very close to the files from my 5D. Close enough, I think, anyway.
