The editors didn't like

Some "jaggies" in photos
EXR sensor's most useful features require drop in resolution
Increase in ISO
AF system occasional fails to lock focus
Then works fine a second later
Adjusting focus manually is clunky and slow
Camera lo
The white disc problem (on initial production models)
Demosaicing artifacts more common than other cameras
Slightly soft corners at telephoto
Anamorphic distortion at wide-angle
Overly complex electronic options

With a nice, fast lens, attractive retro design, and speedy performance, the Fujifilm FinePix X10 hits a lot of important high notes

There's a lot to like about the Fujifilm FinePix X10, but advanced shooters may be frustrated by the trade-offs for the best photos, especially since it's more expensive than its competitors....
