what is the difference between x40 andx20?
1735321
Theoretically, a 40x magnifier should make the image twice as large as 20x. This means 2x the area, not the width. However, I have found that claims of 20x or 40x are always exaggerated by the manufacturers. 20x and 40x are realistic magnifications for microscopes, but not for hand-held magnifiers. I measured the magnification of an advertised-20x at about 6x. That is, the area of the magnified image would be about six times what you would see with the naked eye.

the x20-x40 refers to the amount of magnification the higher the number the more an item will be magnified. this amount is generally only available in the center of the glass closer to the edges there is distortion also the glass must be held with in certain distances from the item you are trying to view for it to be effective. so try to get a large enough glass for what ever you working with and remain cost effective. you may not need a 5" glass if you are doing something like coins or stamps but if you are doing something larger where you move around a lot like model building say you may want to invest in a larger glass even one that's arm mounted to free up your hands to work. hope this helps.

40x is a magnification high enough that steady hands and immobile rest are critical for a good view. 40x is tricky to visually "navigate" but excellent clarity once focused. 20 x (pictured) is decent as well . It is like a small magnifying glass with a tiny led light. good for larger items . Both work well.

x20 is half the magnification of x40, btw it's a nice little magnifier considering the price, but more like x10.

James, I'm not sure if I'm the one to answer the question. I did purchase the 40Xfor my Dad, it is extremely powerful, great for reading very small print on bottles. Fits in his pocket which makes it handy for shopping. He is very happy with it.Hope this helps. Linda R.

I'm not sure about the X10, but I do know the 20's r a great pair. My nephew had a pair n both of my sons now have a pair. They're n to recording music, so they're great! A little annoying though, cause they "claim" they can't hear me when I call them... Lol. Hope this helped

per apricorn specs: the x1 has data transfer speeds up to 400 MB/sec*..the x2 up tp 550 MB. Depends on your need and whether or not you want to tie up your only x16 slot. Also you need to look at where it will fit in your case. Hope this helps

Hey Josh,The image sensor in the two cameras is the same so low light performance will be the same as well. The major difference here is going to be the added xlr compatiblity and the handle/shotgun microphone atachment. As Michael stated, and these were differences that I didn't realize, There is an IR capability and different encoding format on the XA10. The IR capabilitys wouldn't apply to you because they wouldn't match the other shots, think of the green light video you see on tv. I don't know as though you would notice the different encoding format either, and likely whatever you use to edit/burn your video will encode the video upon output. So a bit more versatile but also a bit bulkier camera.Bryan Hey Josh,The image sensor in the two cameras is the same so low light performance will be the same as well.

I am not sure but looking at the information on Amazon it looks like the X46 is heavier-duty. I was not going to be using the ruler all that often so didn't need the heavy-duty one. I love the ruler as it makes more exact measuring very easy. If something happened I would buy another.

The 4520 has 2 more channels and 25 watts more on each channel, also a lot bigger, so if you don't need all the channels and want a smaller foot print, save the cash and get the x4000

I use the 430xe sorry I can not be of more help. But works great for me on the 430XE.

just buy the x core,whatever is cheaper,both work great,I looked for one that had same wiring figuration so it was simple to intstall.

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 bodies Aside 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.

I have not verified this personally, however according to this article http://www.lightingrumours.com/flashy-compacts-fujifilm-x20-and-canon-powershot-g15-4368 the X-20 has an ISO standard hot shoe. To me, this means the Phottix Ares transmitter would work just fine with the X-20.

I own them both, and have been using them in my portriat studio for a while now. i'll say this, theres really not much difference in the two cameras, a few minor upgrades in the xti, what it boils down to is image quality, and from what i've seen they are equal. Just as fyi, I have been able to get prints as large as 20x30 from both cameras with excellent results.

I was just debating the SX20 vs SX30, so I was really glad to find this discussion. I assumed the 30 would be an improvement, but it sounds from this discussion and many customer reviews that 20 is a better choice for image quality.

Yes! The X10 and X20 are identical dimensions. My wife has this case on her X20. The case does have "X10" inscribed on the top. It looks fantastic on her silver X20.

Size, they are about 3.5 inches taller, depth and width are the same and a little more power from the amplifier. The low end sound is a little more fuller/reinforced compared to the T20s even though the frequency response is the same rolling off around 60hz and bottoming out around 45-50hz in term of audibility(verified using a tone generator). If you already own the T20s I wouldn't say the sound difference justified upgrading, but if you don't, you cannot go wrong going with the T40s as this is clearly the better of the two models.

The X20 has a slightly different sensor that is suppose to be slightly sharper but the differences are very small, as to be virtually undetectable. Some people like the X10 better then the 20 because it has a more sophisticated and feature rich Contrast Control setting. The lens is exactly the same. I was dissapointed that there wasn't more of a difference. Oh ... the X20 displays some of your exposure settings in the optical view finder. But a lot of folks don't even use the optical view finder and instead just use the excellent monitor. It was pretty much of a waste for me to "upgrade" from the 10 to the 20 ... but my son enjoys inheriting the 10. :-) The X20 has a slightly different sensor that is suppose to be slightly sharper but the differences are very small, as to be virtually undetectable.

I just noticed that you were asking about the x25, not the x27. I would say yes, in that case.

The only difference is the color. Model series # DWX uses the last two digits to note the color. 23 is black and 20 is white. The price difference may reflect the "sale price" for black version. I noticed that the white (20) version shows list price while the black version (23) shows a sale price with a savings of 34% (at the time of this writing). I hope that this helps.
