Question 1

Difference between X20 and X10

Accepted Answer

The biggest difference is the new X-Trans sensor which removes the optical low pass filter (OLPF)... making pics much sharper than they were in the x10. Here's more from dpreview's review (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x20/):At first glance, the X20 looks just like its predecessor (the X10), although it's now available in a very pretty silver-and-black finish, alongside the conventional all-black. But inside it offers a couple of very significant differences. The first is a brand-new sensor, a 2/3" type 'X-Trans CMOS' design that uses the same novel color filter array as Fujifilm's recent APS-C cameras. This sensor also has phase detect autofocus built right into it - not new to Fuji cameras, but a change from the X10. The second big change is an updated 'Advanced Optical Viewfinder' that includes a detailed information overlay, showing key exposure data and focus confirmation. This isn't the same as the hybrid viewfinder found in the company's X100/X100S and X-Pro1 models - there's no electronic viewfinder - but it's never been done before on a compact camera.	The X20 is available in silver/black and all-black bodiesAside from this, the X20 retains most of the same features that made the X10 so appealing. It uses the same fast zoom lens, with a 28-112mm equivalent angle of view and F2.0-2.8 maximum aperture, which is operated by a mechanically-coupled zoom ring that also retracts the lens and turns the camera on and off. It has plenty of external controls, including an exposure compensation dial and two rear dials, and a hot shoe for external flash. One feature notable by its absence is a direct movie record button - the X20 is clearly designed for still photography first, and video second.

Question 2

Which camera has better image quality for predominantly scenery and flowers - X20 or Sony RX100?

Accepted Answer

Hello, in all honesty, both cameras will provide very similar performance.  There may be slight color rendition differences based on each manufacturer's profile, but what is "better" in that case is purely subjective.  If one were to take a series of pictures with both cameras, at the same time, of the same subject material, print them out and place them on a table, it would be nearly impossible to tell the difference.  Essentially what that means is that both cameras are very good, and you would likely be just as happy with either camera since the image quality will be equally high in both.  Thanks, and let us know if you have any other questions.

Question 3

What accessories, if any, come with the camera?  (e.g., battery recharge cable, cd for transferring pictures to computer, cord for doing that)

Accepted Answer

It comes with the items you mention, except that the supplied battery charger plugs directly into an outlet and requires removing the battery from the camera. (I'm not positively sure, but I do not believe the supplied USB cable charges the battery in-camera when connected to a computer.) There is also a braided nylon and faux leather strap, a metal lens cap of the slip-on (loseable) type, and best of all, a very complete paper owner's manual. The supplied software CD installed on my PC with no problems.

Question 4

I am a painter and need good images of my work. How good are the images of artwork?

Accepted Answer

they are great. I use it for recreation mainly. Honestly it's more camera that I need. if you'd like to buy mine I'd sell it. SethPhilpott@gmail.com for more info.
