FWIW, I recently did an upgrade from the 450d with those two kit lenses to a 650d with Canon 15-85 and 70-300 IS USM. The other weekend I spent an hour or so doing some comparative testing. It was interesting! The big difference was between the 450d and 650d - the IQ of the 650d was much...

Like any camera there are things some people don't like: - no information in the viewfinder (not an issue for me !) - autofocus is (IMHO) not the best at dealing with dynamic subjects (though others claim to have no problem) ... and, of course, it could always do with being smaller :shrug...

Thanks Andy. I'll investigate Fotospeed.

Cheaper than the cost of Fotospeed paper? Any special reason why Photospeed rather than HP's own?

Useful to know :thumbs:

Yeah, that's definitely a factor with me. Plus I've had the odd occasion when something came back and the colour balance wasn't what I thought it'd be :lol:

Hi I'm what I guess you'd call a keen amateur. My A4 HP printer, which has served me well over several years, is showing signs of distress. I think it's time to buy a new one. Up to now I've had anything above A4 printed by one of the online print houses. So, question is, is it worth...

Yes, I've fund similar. In every other respect I'm exceedingly impressed by the X10, but the focus in dynamic situations seems to be the Achilles heel. I guess it's a case of either you live with - and work around - its limitations in this area, or try something else that probably has...

Anyone?

Sorry, I'm unclear as to why the ISO should affect this ? Can you explain ?

Well, I've been giving my new X10 a good try-out over the past 3 days. Sticking to P, Auto or Adv and not trying to change too much from the defaults. Once I'd got used to the (IMO needlessly complex) way that the mode determines what options are/aren't available, I'm getting the hang of the...

Yeah, I accept totally that if I have an old sensor it may or may not have the problem and I could spend some time to see if I have it or not. Most likely I'll just wait and see if it hits me. ;) But as I understand it it's not completely a question of some sensors being OK some not on a...

Not a problem for me. But any half-competent service/repair operation ought to keep a record of what units they've worked on, I'd have thought! :shrug:

So Fuji replied very promptly this morning: I don't know whether to laugh or cry. :bang:

Main reason I bought it! :thumbs:
