X5 Test

I've had an X5 for a while, but have hardly ever used it - I just didn't get on with it. So I replaced it with a Panasonic G3 and then G5. However, yesterday I thought I'd give it another chance and took it out for a walk. Herwith some of the results...

The long zoom is pretty good, but I still find the handling ropey - I'll keep it for emergencies, so there may be the odd post from me, but it will never be my main camera.
