X10 vs s100

(1/4) > >>

4jphotography:
So... I have an s100, and am wondering if any of you all out there think the x10 outperforms it in the "real world". Such as IQ, ISO, etc.

wickidwombat:
i think the lens is the big differentiation for me, I'm not keen on the electronic zoom on the S100
the X10 is less like a compact in operation, but i'm looking at it for a very specific purpose rather than general use

kirispupis:
I can't really directly compare them, but I have the X10 and when compared with images I have seen others produce from the S100 the X10 wins hands down.  A friend of mine had the opportunity to use both cameras and wrote reviews on them

S100 - http://www.ronmartblog.com/2011/11/review-canon-powershot-s100.html
X10 - http://www.ronmartblog.com/2011/12/review-fujifilm-x10-2011-point-shoot-of.html

He wound up returning the S100 and purchasing the X10.

I recently took my X10 to Disneyworld and took this gallery of photos there - http://www.flickr.com/photos/calevphoto/sets/72157628607245971/

I pushed the camera quite hard while I was there and IMHO the results are pretty indicative of the capabilities of the camera.

wickidwombat:
excellent reviews! thanks for that and i think your images have sold me on the X10, were the shots of the sphere off a tripod or hand held? how did you find the high iso experience ie 3200+

neuroanatomist:
Based on what I've seen, the X10 wins on IQ factors.  Also, the lens is much better in terms of aperture (f/2.8 vs. f/5.9 at the long end, meaning >2 stops better when zoomed in with low light).  So, if that's the definition of real world better, the X10 is the way to go. 

For me, though, the real world utility of such a camera is 'fits in my pocket'.  The X10 is wider and taller, and most importantly twice as thick as the S100.  Too thick for my pockets = left at home (if I'm carrying something bulkier anyway, I won't compromise on IQ and I'll just bring the dSLR). 

So for me, of the two the S100 is the winner in the (my) real world.
