Is the X10 a bust?

[Harry Lime]

Fuji resolved the 'white orb' issue sometime in early 2012. It was a hardware problem with the sensor. Since then all X10 cameras have shipped with a revised sensor that solves the problem.

I think the revised model is a very nice camera. The exr modes deliver impressive exposure range. I think the worst part is that like all Fuji cameras their RAW format is not supported as good as it should be by programs like Lightroom and Aperture.

So is this camera worth the $399 price tag? How is the battery life?

from someone who loves the camera, i would not pay more than $399, and now that the x20 was announced for march, maybe $350.

I have taken over 3000 pictures with mine. Battery life (original and 2 3rd party) is generally 250 to 300 shots (no video).
I like the X10 but based on my experience and my preferences I would wait for the X20. After some reviews and a price drop this could be very nice camera.
Startup time and AF are the two things which bother me most on the X10.

I'd have to concur. And I too, love my X10.
