It would be hard to pass up a deal like that on the X10......great little camera. However, the AF is soooo much better on the X20, and if you need faster more accurate AF, it could make a big difference.
With the auto assist light, the X20 will focus in almost total darkness...as it did here. My K5 won't even come close.
I've done some action shots with the X20...we go to the roller derby and I started off using my K5 and fastest 2.8 lenses, but soon discovered I got more keepers with the X20, so now just leave the K5 at home.
X20
I'm not telling you the X20 is like a Nikon D800 at AF, but it will get the job done without too much frustration. Accuracy is very good too.
The various settings on the X cameras that give you film color choices are wonderful....and the Pro Low Light setting is simply amazing! Shoot a still scene in any light with no flash and no tripod...then be thrilled by the result!
Close shooting is great too! Saw this on the fence this morning when I took out the trash......
With 1/4000 you can shoot into the sun!
Portraits of the kids? Not a problem!
The one other thing I like on the X cameras is the controls....all the settings you have on the K5, two solid metal dials, great manual controls if you want to go manual, and a one touch "Q Menu" that lets you make setting to your desire a quick task without roaming through pages of menu items.
Yep...I'm sold....if I didn't have a X camera, I'd be buying one today!
Regards!
