My first refurb arrived with a fault (which I've already mentioned on here) -- the viewfinder was not correctly aligned and was at an angle to the lens/sensor. Other than that it was in immaculate condition. I returned it and was sent a replacement, also in very good condition. There were no...

I just received this Samsonite case after seeing someone mention it on this thread. It's a real bargain for £6, a good fit for the X10 and with a little space for a battery/memory card, plus it has a decent enough shoulder strap and a rain cover which tucks away. As a bonus it doesn't look as...

Doh! I was mixing up the NP-50 and the NP-95. Thanks for pointing that out before I ordered one!

Has anyone tried one of these tiny USB chargers? It looks like it might be good for travelling, and comes with a battery for good measure, although I wonder about the quality of the thing given the price.

Souldeep -- if I can get shots half as good out of this camera then I'll be happy. I really like the picture of the seated girl.

Well, my replacement X10 just arrived and the viewfinder on this one is correctly aligned. The only tiny issue I've noticed with this one so far is that the Menu/OK button is not quite straight (ie the text on it is at a slight angle to the horizontal), but I probably only notice that because I...

I just called to check with Fuji, and they told me that my replacement X10 didn't go out yesterday after all but will definitely be sent today. They'll be using next day delivery so I should get it in time for my upcoming long weekend away. I have to say that the guy I spoke to just now was...

I just got off the phone to Fuji. They said they'd send packaging for the return and then send a replacement once they get the faulty camera back. I asked whether they actually have any refurbs available (as the website is showing zero refurb stock now), and the guy I spoke to called to check...

AEL/AFL didn't do anything (I'm in P mode) but the AF button gave an array of crosshairs (so that I could select a focus point) so I assume that's what you meant. I lined up a horizontal line with a row of those crosshairs, and the OVF view is clearly skewed. I hope it doesn't take Fuji long...

It is weird. And I can confirm that it's the OVF that's out of alignment, not the LCD image, because when the camera is completely level the OVF image is skewed. I'll call Fuji this afternoon.

I didn't think I had a tripod to hand but I just remembered a tiny one stuck away in a drawer. I set it up and the skewed angle between the OVF and LCD is really obvious. Looks like my new toy is going straight back to Fuji.

Thanks for the welcome. As it turns out, I have a question for the forum already. One of the first things I did after the battery charged was try out the OVF (I take a lot of photos in bright sunlight, so this is a handy feature for me). What I found was that all the resulting images were wonky...

This is my first post on TP, and I just wanted to thank the contributors to this thread for helping me decide to buy the X10. I'd been dithering between it and a handful of other options as a camera to take on an upcoming trip (I've been using a Nikon D80 but am sick of lugging it, plus three...
