Fuji X10 viewfinder

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am considering buying a fuji X10 camera. Could somebody please tell me if the viewfinder of the X10 has centerline mark, cross mark or other mark on the center of the viewfinder ?<br>

As there is ni information in the viewfinder, I think it would be easy to use the viewfinder with the central focus point on in case ther is some mark inside the viewfinder in the center of it.</p>

<p>thanks for your answer</p>

No lines, no center mark, nothing to indicate parallax, and the lens is sometimes visible in the lower right corner. On the plus side: 85% coverage, a focus confirm light is visible on the periphery, the viewfinder zooms with the lens, and it has 100% LCD. Also, early samples are showing fairly amazing ISO 1600 performance for a 2/3" sensor.

<p>Tanks for the answer. A center mark inside the viewfinder would be very useful. I like to shoot using the viewfinder. For landscapes it should be ok using DOF zones but can immagine how bothering is to use this camera without even a center mark for people photography, etc</p>

<p>Looks like an exquisite camera. Beautiful design. Pretty darn compelling.</p>

Just found out (from a Brazilian review) that the lens hood accepts a polarizing filter, or I suppose any filter, but polarizing is one thing you can't do in Photoshop.

<p>Hi Bill,<br>

the photos of the brazilian website confirm that there is no centerline in the viewfinder.<br>

I like the X&à specifications but i hate to shoot without viewfinder and can immagine how much it is bothering to not have at least the centerlines (to use the viewfinder and central focus oint).<br>

Instead the X1O I think to buy tge canon G12. I think the G12 has centerlines in the viewfinder as my old G3</p>
