Fuji X10 is Around the Corner

via http://photorumors.com/2011/08/27/fuji-x10x50-detailed-specs-leaked/

The list of leaked specs are as follows:-

• Bright, high resolution, Fujinon f/2.0-2.8 lens
• Manual 4x optical zoom lens (7.1 - 28.4mm*)
  
• Optical zoom viewfinder
• 12 MP 2/3 inch EXR CMOS sensor
• EXR Processor
• Manual shooting modes
• RAW capabilities
• Up to 10fps
• Retro design with magnesium alloy body
• Full HD 1080p movies with stereo sound
• Manual pop-up flash
• Dedicated hotshoe
• High contrast 2.8″ 460k LCD monitor
• 1cm super macro mode
• Motion Panorama 360 degrees
• Auto Bracketing Functions

* The 135 film equivalent focal and angle-of-view is about 26 to 104mm according to my own calculation based on the sensor size.

The above highlighted features just blow the Pentax Q out of the water, as it has none of these and there is nothing comparable! :-(

Next, look also at the (just leaked) top and back views of the X10:-

And two additions to the specs:-

High Speed Contrast Detection Auto-Focus

High Sensitivity – Up to 12,800 ISO Settings (Up to 3200 ISO in Max Resolution)

Oh well, the Q is in trouble water again, deeper and deeper! :-o

Don't believe it? It is rumoured that the X10 will be sold at about half of the price of the Q basic prime kit. So, what will you choose, if you just need such an advanced P&S? Okay, let's vote!

Advanced DC Selection: What Will You Choose?
	Pentax Q
	Fuji X10
	Canon G12
	Sony NEX-C3
	Panasonic GF3
	Olympus E-PL3
	None of the Above!
