Testing the Fuji x10

Last summer I bought the Fuji x100, and spent much of the fall with it.  It's a great camera but for a point and shoot I found two things frustrating.  One it is a fixed 35mm lens, which was fine most of the time, but a few times in Arizona, I got frustrated with that limitation.  Plus the autofocus is eternal.  So, both needing some cash and wanting a zoom, I swapped with a photog from Pennsylvania.  He got the x100 and I got the x10 plus cash. I just received it in the mail and tried it out at a coffee house concert on Friday night at our church.

Now the lighting is really dark, so I shot this image at ISO 3200 - not a bad image eh?  Autofocus is much improved plus it has a 28-112 zoom.  So far so good.  It's a little smaller in my big hands than the x100, but I keep reminding myself that it is a point and shoot, and designed as a carry around all the time camera.
