I would like to wish
all my readers Happy Holidays and a healthy and
prosperous New Year. I made brief updates to my
reviews of the
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6,
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, and the

Fujifilm released a
statement addressing the X10 and the white dot
syndrome:
'Fujifilm
engineers have examined a number of sample shots
and have concluded that the camera is working
within prescribed tolerances. The blooming issue
is something not uncommon to many types of
digital camera. It is possible to reduce the
effects of blooming either by increasing the ISO
or widening the dynamic range on the camera.
However, after receiving a number of comments
from users, we can understand their concern and
plan a firmware upgrade to lessen the effects of
blooming. We will announce in due course when
the upgrade will be available.'
