The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on January 03, 2023 Pros: Image quality, no noise up to 6400 iso, touch controls and portability indeed pocketability. Cons: No viewfinder and articulated display. Opinion: Today I thoroughly tested the Fuji XF10. I can assure you that it is undoubtedly the best camera I have considering above all the portability and image quality. There are all the manual controls at your fingertips and the touch screen is like that of the mobile phone. I list all the commands I mapped on the camera beyond those of the quick menu and the full menu: three separate rings for A, S, ISO. Button fn above for Hyperfocal at 2m and 5m up to infinity. Button above the Q button for ae/af lock. Joystick very convenient to choose the focus point (which can also be done with the touch screen) and to move quickly in the menus. Gestures on the touch menu and that I assigned to photometry, WB, manual exposure preview, face/eye enabling for focusing. Drive button above the screen where you can set single image, burst, 4k (with photo extraction from 4k and multifocus as panasonic for all in focus composing several images automatically), bkt of ae, iso, film simulation, wb, dynamic range, then hdr and video. In addition, icing on the cake, you can zoom on the touch screen as on the mobile phone up to 50 mm (the lens starts from 27) with very little loss of quality because it crops from a maximum resolution of 24 mb and then always resamples to 24 mp without lowering the resolution (this function can also be assigned to the digital teleconverter). Minimum size and also fits in the shirt pocket. Excellent quality 24 mp APSC sensor with iso 100-51200 without noise up to 6400 iso. Of course, it has a fixed focal length of 27mm but takes beautiful photos up to 50 mm, it has no viewfinder or articulated screen but very bright and visible even with direct light. It is ideal for photos at home even at night with flash that does not shoot and that you can control the lighting throughout the room simply by setting iso 200 (to illuminate only the subject) up to 6400 (to have the whole room illuminated in addition to the subject in the foreground). Also excellent for macro and landscapes but especially for street photography using the instant snapshot with hyperfocal from 2 or 5 m up to infinity that once activated you shoot without focusing even in motion and no one notices it and above all you do not miss even a shot. |
  | sent on August 26, 2022 Pros: Small, discreet, always with you, great optics and great sensor Cons: Unreliable AF, frustrating in use Opinion: Taken as every day camera last winter, hoping to find a very light and discreet contraption to always carry with me, it turned out to be a broken promise, at least for me. Let's start with the pros: it is really tiny and invisible, the sensor is the best there was in APS-C at the exit, and the optics, when you hit the focus, is stunning for engraving on the whole frame (in a couple of shots it sent me nicely aliasing the sensor). Here, however, the cons begin. For one thing, AF is unreliable. Doing thorough tests, I noticed that by focusing, for example, the same subject 5 meters away for n times (from a standstill, in AF-S single point) the focus will fall once at four meters, once at five, twice at four and a half, once at six and a half, and so on. Everything is clearly visible if you keep an eye on the scale of the focusing distance on the monitor. In addition, the optics have a certain curvature of field: as long as you shoot at nearby and central subjects, in short, in shots where the quality at the edges of the image is secondary, the accuracy of the AF is still sufficient and the extended pdc covers many flaws. But if you shoot at longer distances, for example for a glimpse of landscape, it becomes really difficult to get sharp photos on the sides using autofocus (even generously diaphragm), due to the curvature of the field and the focus that, in fact, while aiming at the same subject, will fall now at 20 meters, now at 50, now at 15, now to infinity, in a completely unpredictable way. The only solution is to work very carefully in manual focus, going to focus AROUND infinity, with an eye to the distance scale and viewfinder magnification, and doing several tests. Unfortunately, even in MF the machine still uses the AF motor, so it is not possible to leave the lens "locked" on a certain distance as you would do with a real manual lens: the setting is reset every time the machine goes into standby, the results are not replicable, and the focusing process must be repeated for every single shot. It is probably a design limitation due to the very short stroke of the focusing unit on a pancake optic; and I think this behavior is the reason why online you can find those who consider the optics equal to the phenomenal 28 of the Ricoh GR, and those who consider it less than mediocre - try it! Snap focus modes do not help as they are optimized for short/medium distances. This, for me that I counted on using it also for landscape when I'm around, turned out to be an annoying flaw. Beyond that, though, I found the XF10 frustrating even in the use it was designed for. The machine is a strange hybrid between advanced functions (copied from the GR project) and found by entry level; However, neither is properly implemented. The firmware is lazy, the touch not very responsive, the raw huge, the keys too small. It is too slow to use it in full car as a snapshot machine; but also too castrated and cumbersome to use it calmly in manual (see above). This is extremely annoying, because when all the stars are aligned properly and the shot is right, it returns images of great quality. In the end I resold it and replaced it with something else - now I carry a kilo and broken more, but with the certainty of _always_ bringing home the shot I want, unless mistakes on my part of course. To close on a more positive note: it is still very nice (in black), built well, the battery life is decent and the flash, although tiny, surprisingly useful, thanks also to the central shutter. I do not want to contest the various positive reviews that preceded me, but I hope that these observations are useful to those who are keeping an eye on it for a future purchase. |
 | sent on August 20, 2022 Pros: Top 3 image quality for a compact Cons: Slow AF in low light Opinion: I bought it for fun attracted by the fashion of Ricoh a few years ago, since then inseparable. Some of the most beautiful shots of recent times made with her, simply because she is very portable and I can put her in a backpack pocket without even realizing it. A bit superfluous all the game functions aimed at the non-expert user but do not mess up the menu excessively |
 | sent on April 30, 2022 Pros: image quality, great lens, customization use Cons: a bit small, lcd Opinion: Found used gold champagne color at 300 euros (but practically immaculate) after reading so many opinions about it ... Well what to say, no regret on the purchase. The car is beautiful and well built, it is a pleasure to hold it in your hand and look at it, maybe a little too small but it enters everywhere. The image quality is undisputed as well as the fixed 28. On the AF I thought worse and those few times I found problems I went to MF. The Raw in the car is comfortable and I use it practically all the time. Those few commands that it has I find them more than enough if you customize it well. Obviously it is a compact fixed lens and so you know what you buy, as versatile as you do not do everything but there is one thing that does not go down to me and it is the LCD monitor. You see little and bad outdoors, especially in full sun. Taking into account that it does not have a viewfinder you rely only on that and fuji could do it a little more resolutely. I used other compacts older and cheaper than this and I'm problem I've never had, too bad ... For the rest nothing to say, the 300 euros are worth them all and always comes with me. |
 | sent on November 18, 2021 Pros: APS-C sensor, excellent image quality, raw files, bright optics, compact and lightweight, ok up to ISO 3200, beautiful to see and touch Cons: AF, unsealted, 35 mm and 50 mm virtual usable only in jpg and not in raw, 4k movies in fact not achievable Opinion: I was looking for a camera that could combine compactness and image quality and I must say that in this Fuji I found what I was looking for; purchased new for about 300 euros I have been using it for about 1 year and I must say that the impressions are very positive, it responds perfectly to my needs as an amateur photographer. As already mentioned and restated the AF is not at all a lightning of war, so I do not recommend this camera for a "dynamic" type of use (sports, action scenes, etc ...), however setting it on a single point and using the touch display to point with your finger where you want the focus does not work badly; I also find the MF very well usable thanks to the help that comes from focus peaking. The images it churns out are really good in all situations, you have the opportunity to shoot in raw (absolutely recommended choice), and if you equip yourself with a tripod you can also take great photos when the brightness is low or even at night (the constellations recover well, I still have to try the Milky Way). Too bad that the 35 and 50 mm virtual lenses are usable only if taken in jpg and not in raw, also do not consider this camera if you are going to make videos in 4K. The aspect that I definitely regret the most is the fact that it is not stabilized, though.... everything must also be compared to the price you pay; for 300 euros I have an APS-C sensor combined with a high quality optics, all in a solid and well-built body that fits in a pocket, with manual controls that allow you to use it in almost every field of photography (amateur), so perhaps even asking for a stabilization would have been even too much for this price. Rating 10. |
 | sent on August 11, 2021 Pros: compactness, optical and file quality, always to be carried with you, snap shot function (over 2 distances) Cons: AF (it takes patience although improved with the sign), lens cap, lack lens hood and flash slide Opinion: I bought the xf10 on a non-EU site at half the price compared to the list (just to say that the list price seemed excessive compared to expectations). The machine maintains the expectations of a Fuji, with excellent file quality, even if it does not have the XTrans sensor but bayer, with all the customizations and simulations typical of Fuji. The file appears too sharp, almost pumped, perhaps to make up for the optical quality that seems a bit 'under tone compared to the x100 with some lateral aberration, but good ventilation in backlight. Compact to always carry with you, I would have liked a better AF (but knowing it you get used to it and learn to manage it). The batteries are the same as the X100 up to the T (an advantage if you also have one of these machines) and are adequate for the type of machine. The lack of the viewfinder might feel in full sun, but it's something you know when buying, as well as the lack of a flash door slide. I would have liked a better cap and the ability to mount a hood. For the street the snapshot function is useful, even if a bit limited: it works at 2mt with 5.6 aperture or at 5 meters and f 8: Overall it keeps what it promises, avoiding competing with the X100 which is obviously more complete. Not being able to mount the flas, or you use only the built-in one or a second flash in optical slave (which in broad daylight could be out) |
| sent on March 22, 2021 Pros: Premium body all metal and fine finishes, good well shaped grip, compact really fits in your pocket, stunning optics a blade, unparalleled JPG Fuji engine, ability to set all parameters at will to produce the desired JPG look, RAW processing in the room, excellent APSC sensor, is located under 300 euros, incredible ISO seal, the battery lasts a lot, charging via usb , functional snapshot, spectacular macros 10cm away, focuspeaking in MF Cons: nobody, for the price at which it is now located, the sensor it has inside and considering what it manages to do is "given away" Opinion: In the used market with less than 300 euros you put in your pocket a Fuji APSC with all the well-known merits of that brand. The photos are wonderful and you can set all the possible parameters to create looks and shades as you like, too bad you can not save the presets as in the older sisters forcing each time the manual modification of the parameters if you want to change JPG look. Out of box the machine tends slightly to the oversharpen so I recommend setting and always keeping the sharpen at -1 as well as minimizing (-2) the noise-reduction responsible for jpg retail loss even at low iso, also turn off the high iso noise reduction option. With the sharpen at -1 and NR at -2 the photos are stunning perfect! In summary it is a magical machine that you can always take with you and then take home breathtaking photos on all occasions. The lens it mounts is a standard 28mm (the 1x focal of phones to be clear) whose quality is stunning, its peak contrast and sharpness is at F5.6 and is also sharp at TA (F2.8) from the center to the edges, plus it makes scary macros at 10cm of minimum focus distance! Don't throw money into the Ricoh and above all don't throw money into 100MP smartphones that produce only seemingly beautiful photos but if seen in detail they are only artificial (IA), robotic and unnatural (try the landscapes). It takes cameras to take photos seriously, and this Fuji fully demonstrates this. I vote 10 and Praise, I hope for a later model... and the autofocus a little slow... chissenefrega is a jewel the same and then with the snapshot 5m F5.6 press and take instant and take home wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. |
 | sent on February 18, 2021 Pros: portability, great for the street, 28mm Cons: Nobody Opinion: It is a project inspired by Ricoh Gr, perfect for what it was created for, street photography. I use it with 2meter focus, rangefinder style and away. The files are good, easily workable. The car is always with me, it goes into the pockets of jeans. The battery has a good lifespan, the MAF is not as dramatic as I read; of course it's better than a reflex but that's a whole different matter. |
  | sent on November 06, 2020 Pros: Beautiful, fantastic focal for the street, gets in your pocket, battery life, quality files Cons: Large files 40mb, saving custom presets. Opinion: I love the street, and I've been thinking about lightening up and becoming invisible for a while. After all, ml with lenses are still large, I use Canon RP and Sigma art 24mm ... I love it, now it's become my eye, but it's not always with me, it weighs, and it's not invisible. The xf10 is a very technical concept of the machine, in my opinion. The machine is easy, I think it is more for experts than for beginners. It is not comparable with other compact ones other than high-end APS or FF. At just over 250 euros it offers an aps sensor and the possibility of having post-produced JPG with film simulations and customizations on lights and shadows, etc. Too bad you can't save them. In the post in the car the big difference between the Canon universe and the Fuji universe. The flaw is too many megapixels and file size. A raw is about 40mb. for 25 photos it takes a GB Many talk about difficulty in focusing. It is certainly not a lightning bolt, but I do not find errors, as long as I put in the menu in the "savings management", "on" on "high performance". It definitely gets better. Excellent usb charging... in the concept of urban camera is almost indispensable. Simple, essential, without useless things like sledding and perhaps, removing frills makes it even more immediate, light, clean. I'm excited and believe it can push creative skills beyond the limits of an ML and traditional goals. It's much more than a smartphone, obviously it doesn't have the sim... but do you want to put the enjoyment of shooting and postproducing quality files on your smartphone with mobile lightroom? The ergonomics are fantastic. Two custom buttons you have which I assigned iso and the selection of the film simulation. Very practical bracketing on movie simulations. There's no mention of videos... also because I have pocket osmo and osmo action. Honestly it's not a machine you buy for videos. |
 | sent on September 17, 2020 Pros: Beautiful (the eye wants its part) - small and light with good grip - silent in the shot - indisputable Fujifilm quality - snapshot function Cons: Fixed display (not necessarily a defect) - absence of flash slide - it is not possible to save presets - film simulations at the smallest terms - noisy lens that advances and backs down during focus - continuous AF but also single - the thread filters!!!! Opinion: I had for years the X70 a machine concept that define extraordinary is reductive (obviously if you do a certain type of photography and if you love the 28mm) Unique defect the lens with external focus then noisy slow and with the front mobile (see 18mm 27mm and 35mm 1.4) patience I lived there the same (I often used hyperfocal) Unfortunately the X70 had short life due to sudden retirement of the 16 mpx sensor shortly after its release. I therefore expected an X70s with the new sensor and with a new lens (new mechanically because quality is not discussed) Fujifilm instead presents this thing here that is called XF10. distant relative of the X70 but in its own way just as beautiful and interesting. The philosophy has been to simplify the functions and the shooting experience. I've always liked simple things! That's when they removed the tilting monitor (I'm fine but was it really necessary?) and anyway better fixed rather than articulated type opening of the sports gazette (on the machines without sight the ideal monitor is that of the Sony 5100) Then they removed the diaphragms ring and did various cleanings (via selector fire mode on the front and ok the joystick behind) Missing the flash slide (no optical viewpoint) but the line earns. In short, a really beautiful machine came out aesthetically. classy. Among the various functions useful what Fuji calls instant (hyperfocals at the button as on the Ricoh GR) to better evaluate the Burst 4K HDR and other things that do not interest me. as well as the video side that I didn't peek at either by accident. But let's get to the point. virtually on the XF10 they thought well to transplant equal to the lens of the X70. same flaws if possible even more marked! Gentlemen here at the autofocus level we are in the middle ages. the single is that of the XE1 the continuous just enough to follow a sloth (I read that it improved with the new firmware and before what was?) But now here's the stroke of genius. an engineer gets up in the morning with the wrong foot and out of the blue without any warning and without any apparent logic decides to remove from the lens the thread to insert a filter! was even just protection and nothing. you're looking for it, but it's not there. The ability to mount the X70's additional wide also disappears.... But why?? it is not a matter of life or death but it remains a serious lack. details matter if they matter and then I buy a camera not a compact or a smartphone! For lovers of curiosities about the X70 instead of the adapter ring I had mounted a filter without glass as a spacer and then in front of the protection filter in this way meanwhile the movement of the optics took place completely inside without the danger of obstacles during the focus (I broke a 27 in this way) and then avoided removing and putting the cap every time. In addition to protecting the optics from impacts (how many targets I saved with the protection filter) Another lack of the absence of the C function where you can record the various presets. it was enough to remove from the ring the specific scenes faces landscape sports night photo and move them inside the voice SP where we already find the rest of the scenes. Finally I would have liked the opportunity to shoot directly in 4:3 as on the new A7 (I always hope in a firmware that implements this function in all Fuji) Then I certainly realize that inserting the Acros simulation would be a huge effort! |
 | sent on July 27, 2020 Pros: APSC Bayer sensor without low pass filter, 28mm optical exceptional equivalent without the slightest distortion, beautiful colors, amazing rendering, snapshot mode (the dear old hyperfocal), optics that do not pull out when you turn on the camera, very good customization possibilities, very minimal camera but that has everything you need Cons: Light vignette in certain circumcisions, the dial of the full cdi junk mode for amateurs of first hair (sports mode, night, portrait, etc...), touchscreen (should abolish it in the cameras), heavy raws of 43 mb each and no possibility of having them compressed, 24mpx... ebbasta with all megapixel stis, 16 are fine for everything and are already too many for my taste!, lacks the ability to shoot in raw or jpeg in 4:3 format but you can of course get in post production, usually Fuji: too much parcel between film simulations that do not even look like the films of which they bear the names and endless menus... , 35mm crop and 50mm crop only in jpeg and not raw only Opinion: This XF10 is obviously inspired by the famous Ricoh series but offers something different. First of all, let's start by saying that the sensor is not the x-trans, but a normal Bayer 24mpx without anti-aliasing filter, this leads to files full of nuances that recall those of the much-loved CCD sensors. Probably a few less megapixels would have benefited, but the results are really good. I own the Champagne Gold model, and I think in this version it is the most beautiful compact camera ever produced. There is little to do, Fujifilm understands the market and knows how to propose really interesting products winking at both the amateur of first hair and the experienced professional. This compact is the essence: on the one hand we find modes and functions typical of family photo compacts, on the other it pulsates the heart of an APSC sensor combined with a superb optics. Personally I have always been a 50mm photographer, so I have difficulty with a wide-angle like the 28mm, however if there is a chance to approach the results are exceptional. Another similarity to the Ricoh is the snapshot mode (vulgarly called "snapshot" in the manual, although it would be better to "hyperfocal"). This allows only two settings: f8 at 2 meters and f5.6 at 5 meters, the first for close photos, the second for all that is over 1 and a half meters. For everything else there is the excellent Manual mode with the distance scale. Hyperfocal is physical: with a 28mm to 5m away and f5.6 of diaphragm you will always have a fire from one and a half meters to infinity, so you don't need to have 200 pairs of diaphragm and distance eh? ;-) Of course Fujfilm has filled this little tiger with peculiar-attract-amateur, that is, the terrible film simulations that look like everything but the films of which they bear the name. I'm still filming and I can guarantee that they're just marketing crap. However, as with everything we don't care about, just ignore them. It remains an aesthetically spectacular machine, with a fear-and-fear sensor and optics, offering the ability to shoot in raw up to 12,800 iso. I usually assume I shoot above 1600, but this way you can use the snapshot function in virtually any light condition, and this is absolutely not a bad thing! Autofocus, on the other hand, works very well under certain circumstances and shows some uncertainty in others, but I think since I have this machine maybe I've used it a couple of times. I read many who complain about the slowness of the autofocus, some blurry photos... guys, obviously the more a camera has limits the more obvious the limits of the photographer who uses it, it is natural. Paradoxically, the scafato photographer prefers a machine with as few functions as possible to have the ultimate control of the vehicle, while the pixel-peeper will never settle for the thousands of options, features and automations present, and in a short time will switch to the last camera released on the market only to be able to complain again. I remember that to take any photo it is enough that a machine allows the control of diaphragm, shutter and iso. Everything else is game. A big note I make every time I talk about Fujifilm... put it as a standard option to shoot in raw compressed... you can't have eighteen thousand simulations-fuff and shoot in raw at 43mb a file... it's crazy!!! What to say, nowadays the cameras are distinguished by "pro", "prosumer", "consumer"... these are appellations that should probably be used to describe photographers rather than cameras. This XF10, with all its "prosumer" qualities, is the most outstanding there can be for anything from family photos to professional to author's. |
 | sent on July 20, 2020 Pros: compactness and battery. Cons: autofocus sloth mode. Opinion: I have been looking for a compact aps-c to always keep with me, small and light and I have to admit that it is really portable. I've had it for a few weeks and I've taken a thousand pictures. coming from nikon I have to admit that still the menu is difficult for me and I struggle to remember the commands or at least the sequences of the commands. But in principle he makes really good photos. As mentioned by those who preceded me, if you are looking for something that allows you to make quick shots let go, with this the moment you lose for sure, the autofocus is tremendously slow, uncertain and hesitant even on the immobile subjects and on the moving subjects focuses yes, but at the time of the shooting the subject has already moved. so if you have kids, attend parties or the like, look for another product. I use it a little for everything, but where I was particularly amazed was in the night photos of the stars and the views. it blew me away, magnificent sensor. I never use high iso, so I can only tell you that up to 1000 iso takes magnificent photos. more than acceptable battery. Would I buy it back? you sure!! at the moment on the market there is no aps-c with this value for money and since compact aps-c do not cost little, this fujifilm xf10 is great. (always in your pocket, it's no small stuff). |
 | sent on July 17, 2020 Pros: Compactness, file quality, jpeg, cost, apsc from 24 M Cons: Autofocus, Snap focus, preset save, absence sight and sled Opinion: I have been using the XF10 for some time now, in the gallery I have several photos taken with this Fuji. Starting with the negative things, the autofocus is not a lightning bolt of war, although improved a lot with the latest firmware. For snap focus use, the choice is limited to a few modes. Missing the thread to mount the filters but with a JJC ring from a few euros I made up for it. The thing I personally wanted is the ability to save presets in order to switch between images, and instead you need to reset everything. It lacks the viewfinder and therefore you can shoot only in smartphone mode, the presence of a sled would have allowed at least to be able to use an external one for the composition only, such as on the Sigma DP Merrill. Advantages: very compact, it really stands in a pocket. The quality of the sensor (bayer, unlike other Fuji) is excellent, and the 24 M also allow moderate crop. The high iso seal is good. Jpeg files live up to Fuji fame, and very often do not need further processing, although I by habit always save in jpg-raw. By the time I write (July 2020) it is now around 350 euros, so the cost is half that of comparable machines. Conclusion: for my type of photography, in which I dedicate to the shot and the framing all the time that I think is necessary, it is a great machine with results at the height of mirrorless combinations. I say this as a Fuji x-pro user with XF optics. If you're looking for a dynamic photo machine, moving subjects, you'll probably be looking for other models. |
 | sent on July 16, 2020 Pros: File quality and jpg Fuji, ISO seal, portability and discretion, battery. Cons: AF system but I would also say MF. Opinion: Those who want that paste that fuji knows how to give in its JPGs, will find in the XF10 what it seeks, ISO kept large, light and anonymous with fixed optics that does not flow (just like a fixed lens from reflex or mirrorless), no frontal writing that can attract attention, discreet handling. But if you have to capture the moment (what this machine was designed for, of course and not only) with the autofocus systems available, but where do you need to go? Then the alternative is to use the snapshot, with the focus zone at 2m f8 or 5m f5.6, not bad! If you want to create other areas of fire then you have to use the fire manual and choose a diaphragm (as you would with any other machine), but nothing, manages to make even the MF, in the sense that the photo is moved even with times of 1/60s and steady hand, then raise the ISO and go that in the evening if you are not at 6400 do nothing! I am certainly not an inveterate fujista, but for about 4 years I also own an x30, of course the quality of the file is not that of the XF10, but everything else... another story! For me a bad purchase (for me). |
 | sent on June 14, 2020 Pros: Compactness, cost, lens, gorgeous jpeg, hdr in the room, apsc sensor Cons: Autofocus sometimes slow but still sufficient, not stabilized, no sight and tiltable screen Opinion: I took it a couple of weeks ago and immediately put it under wraps, I had a thousand qualms due to the reviews read on the web. I will be short, in my hands no micromox problem, shooting with very normal times (even 1/40). The autofocus will not be lightning, but only in the middle of the night I had to use manual fire, where not even one a7R3 hooked. Let's say it could be compared to that of an x-t10. As machines I had x-t10, x-t20, sony A5100, A7II, A7R3 so I have decent margins of comparison. Let's move on to the pros, the machine is very small, and to see it you would not imagine that inside there is an apsc sensor. Everything is already known about the lens, it's great. Keeping iso good up to 3200, the 6400s need good post work (here definitely better the x-trans sensor, whose noise in my opinion is also pleasant). Beautiful and customizable jpeg as on all fuji. If you work with easel, even very small, great hdr in the room that helps a lot in the tips and shoots of landscape both day and night... a joy to have a jpeg practically ready of 3 night shots with difference of 3 stops from each other perfectly united with each other, without artifacts and with the lights perfectly intact, a landscaper shoots in raw and uses the masks of brightness, but you want to put on vacation have shots ready? Operating speed generally good. Otherwise, if he had also had the crosshairs would have been top but for less than 300 euros that you demand? |
 | sent on June 13, 2020 Pros: Compactness, high-quality materials, excellent JPEGs with the right settings, now low price, stop buying other products. Cons: Poor autofocus, fixed screen, no chance to save presets, no filter door. Opinion: I use the camera in a thoughtful way, and I'm not the type that when he comes out on the weekend he takes 100 photographs to save 5. I have a slow and thoughtful approach and this little Fujifilm helps me to be even more so. I've been using it for almost a year, and I only use her to take home my shots. I do not need a snappy camera, in fact this autofocus is not the best, it happens that it does not hook and if it does barrel the focus. He doesn't always do that, but 2 times out of 10. The machine is made well, sturdy metal and the grip is very good. The only sin perhaps the hook of the shoulder is sideways, and we find only 1, to carry it on the wrist. JPEG is excellent, I had tried other fujifilms like xe1 and x100. I didn't remember such a high quality and detail. I found settings suitable for my photographs, I use only those and even if I shoot in jpeg and RAW, I never open the raw. Download the jpeg directly to the PC. Unfortunately there is no possibility to save the various settings that you can change in the menu, so if you want to shoot changing settings you have to act on the menu, especially to change the white balance. Another flaw that I do not understand what it cost, is that it lacks the threading in the lens which makes it impossible to screw a lens to protect the lens. Too bad. It can be solved with a JJC branded contraption that has a 3M sticker that applies on the edge of the lens but not by much safety. The price is now even more attractive, under 300 euros you take home a fujifilm with a lens 18mm 2.8. Maybe it was "obscured" by the presence of the x70, but even if it resembles us it is its younger sister but same Fujifilm blood and so it must be taken into account. |

 | sent on January 11, 2020 Pros: 1) beautiful 2) not too expensive, almost cheap, for the market sector to which it belongs 3) shooting pleasure 4) very high quality and definition of photos and videos 5) extraordinary ISO hold 6) excellent battery, excellent durability 7) 2 more "virtual" optics (35mm and 50mm) of Great quality in photos 8) b&n infrared filter availability 9) is Fujifilm and has all the typical features of Fujifilm 10) is really portable and is an APSC ! 11) Interspersed shot programmable photos and video timelapse Cons: 1) updates 2) there is no MENU USER or C where to store user settings 3) on-screen viewing, while using the 2 virtual optics, is low quality 4) few accessories (especially I did not see the network feeder in the list) 5) the b&n filter infrared is in the advanced semi-automatic menu 6) lack of the classic silkypix canned software Opinion: 01. At first glance I fell in love with this XF10 and waited a long time before I could afford it. It's an exciting machine. In practice, I have already said everything about the list of merits and defects. 02. I must say with regret - being a big fan and admirer of Fujifilm - that I was very disappointed by the first firmware update, which - in my opinion - has greatly worsened, rather than improved, autofocus performance. And, after reading negative opinions about the second update, I think I made a very wise move: I reset the machine to the factory state and - from the first tests - it seems to have returned to the perfect functionality it had from new. 03. Also, finding out that I could not memorize user settings was another disappointment, especially given that on the old Fujifilm XF 1 I had 2 User settings available in the dial and that, given the negative experiences with updates, I do not hope more to have this feature in the future. It's an annoying limit, but you have to make a point of it. 04. There are other limits such as semi-automatic infrared b&n in advanced (it would have been better in manual with movie simulations), virtual optics not available in all settings and in videos, etc etc. The magnificagnions of the virtual optics are seen badly on the screen when you select them before taking the photo but then, when you do the verification, both on the machine and on the computer, the photo taken is of excellent quality. 05. On the diatribe of the comparison between XF10 and GR III: I think it is superfluous: GR III costs twice as much. Instead, GR II was sold for 520 euros and could be an attractive alternative with a gap of 50 euros. 06. Fujifilm XF10 remains an excellent machine, with a beautiful design, capable of photos and videos of spectacular quality. I have a video in advanced that, if I could choose the time, would have been "from the cinema": absolutely spectacular. 07. Great ability to configure the quick menu and function keys. It is impractical to "swipe" on the touch screen. Great joystick. Light plastic delicacies and look fragile: better to use them with two fingers and delicacy. I bought a second original battery: great price, under 50 euros. Not all brands are so benevolent. 08. Despite the 4 main disappointments (1.updates 2.lack menu user 3.virtual optics not available in all modes 4.lack of silkypix) are very, very satisfied: it is a great machine. It is almost unique on the market with these features and at this price; the only real alternative are the last GR II in stock at 520 euros (you exceed the wall of 500 - an important figure). |
| sent on August 21, 2019 Pros: Build quality, weight and compact size, image quality, aps-c sensor with excellent dynamics and good resistance to high ISOs. Cons: Cumbersome and unreliable autofocus, poor battery life, no viewfinder. Opinion: Surprising machine: given that I am only using it in RAW, the image quality seems comparable to that of a mid-range aps-c reflex with a good lens. I don't get better images with the Canon 80D and the 15-85 EF-S. The sensor dynamics are also appreciable, which is certainly higher than Canon's 24mpx sensor counterpart. The sore notes are about the autofocus, in my opinion, enigmatic and unreliable... I'm never sure he's focused where he wants to be. In certain situations, in order not to limit the operational speed, it is better to take advantage of the two (somewhat few) fixed diaphragm/distance combinations of focus 5m/f5,6 and 2m/f8. Although it was perhaps designed for street photography, I use it instead with satisfaction for landscape photography, during light backpack excursions, possibly taking advantage of manual focus calmly. The excellent lens looks optimized between f2.8 and f8 and has almost nothing distortion. The presence of a stabilizer would have been useful and welcome. I did not encounter any micromove problems; certainly being a lightweight and unstabilized device you have to be careful. Finally, I find it annoying that you can't look at the photographs taken without activating the lens. |
 | sent on August 18, 2019 Pros: Handling, excellent construction, battery life Cons: UNreliable AF, lack of stabilizer, only discrete image quality Opinion: I have just returned from two weeks in France where I wanted to do a madness: I left at home my reliable Leica Q and I took on only the XF10 taken recently and that at first impression had amazed me in some photos made here and there to put it to the whip and try it in o condition. Unfortunately it has shown all its limitations, of course the comparison with the Q is merciless, I'll just sum it up by saying that the little Fuji is worth what it costs more or less, sometimes making great photos especially when there is a perfect light condition and the AF centers the lens or, unfortunately, that is often not the case and it is a serious gap... often there is micromove even with security times... in suboptimal light conditions come out of the monstrosities, the Jpeg is very kneaded Fuji style... it remains a fun and comfortable machine but certainly not for the street where speed and reliability are indispensable. I had other higher-end Fuji (xpro2 and xh-1) that had satisfied me very much, and the Ricoh GR2 and did not miss a beat, this in my opinion although more recent and now on the same price range does not hold up the comparison. I think I'm going to give it to my daughter or just take her to the beach... |
 | sent on June 21, 2019 Pros: Weight, handling, size, APS-C sensor and jpeg Fuji Cons: Micromovement and often random fire problems Opinion: I already have a T-20 for a few years and I do not hide that I have taken the XF10 to replace it, so much use only fixed on that and considering the time I have now to take pictures what interests me is that I want to take a car. I tried it quite thoroughly on an outing and unfortunately I have to confirm how much I read in another review. Although at first glance the monitor seems all right, even enlarging, from PC or on slightly larger screens you often notice the micromove (not even so much micro) on a good percentage of photos and entirely randomly, this also setting times of hyper security type 1/100. Beyond this every now and then reed just the focus even removing the area with which it is set by default and putting the single point. I also updated it at the last fw I do not imagine what it was before. I don't know frankly how it can be proposed for the street if not perhaps using it only in hyperfocal or with the snap focus it is equipped with anyway. It's a shame because the photos that have no fire problems or micromove are not bad despite not being at the level of the T-20 with a discreet fixed and you could safely settle. For me, the spark didn't really start so much that I returned it. |
| sent on May 05, 2019 Pros: Size, weight, sensor size, ISO seal. Cons: Considering it's a compact, NOTHING. Opinion: I took the XF10 to see if having a compact could induce me to bring more often the camera with me and then shoot more, mainly on the street. I initially tried Coolpix A and Ricoh GR or GR II, but given the prices-of the used clearly-I felt it was more convenient to take advantage of the opportunity found on RCE and buy the Fujifilm, which however is 2018. I spent several hours watching reviews on the internet and I have to say that I have read of all kinds, just to name a few: autofocus, battery life, snapshot with ONLY 2 and 5 meters preset. Just arrived, the first thing I did is update the firmware (according to many seemed to be indispensable...), so I can not say anything about the "before and after." Autofocus: For the kind of photos I shoot with this compact for me is good, I can not say that it is as fast as on the Canon SLR, but of the disaster that is read in the reviews I have not seen track. Battery life: Using snapshot to make street I came to shoot 450 photos (si 450) and later I also had the way to transfer photos without turning off, probably continuous autofocus or use of the flash could resize its performance, but not Using it so I can't say anything. Snapshot: the 2 and 5 meters, I think are more than enough, even considering that with the 2 meters, actually the image is already sharp from 1.6 Mt. I mainly use it for street, ISO 3200 (but also 4000 or 5000) and snapshot at 2 meters, is fast, immediate and what about... I would recommend it without hesitation. If I can afford, I would suggest to try it before writing bad, the photos that the Fujifilm churns out are excellent, vivid and saturated colors, usability and operating speed are excellent, the feeling that transmits is NOT that of the toy, then of course there will be Always some better camera but I am not Bruce Gilden and if I were, I dare to say that it would not be the XF10 to lower the level of my work. The ISO in my opinion are a strong point of this camera, at 3200 without any correction in the car are usable in full and increasing, the grain is seen but is not harassing, indeed it is almost better the photo in the absence of noise reduction but here , I think it's already a matter of personal taste. For anyone who is imagining the comparison Ricoh GR II-XF10 (as I tried to do the rest): Avoid racking unless you can get your hands on both and try them in the use you intend to do, finally do not forget that you are comparing a Machine from almost 700 euros in 2015 with a little more than 500 in 2018. Have fun with the XF10. Stefano. |
 | sent on April 01, 2019 Pros: Image Quality, AF, reactivity, functions Cons: Few Fn Buttons Opinion: Exceptional, after upgrading the AF has become a splinter and is now accurate and fast as well with little light, excellent image quality, already JPG's are great and ready to use, the lens is excellent, the ISO tightness as well, the 6400 I use them often and hold up, the 3200 are a Goduri A and with an F2 lens is so much stuff. No mistake! I took a X70 to make the comparison but it was mercileful, I made the X70 immediately. Now my wife, who works at classical concerts, has discovered her and ripped it off: I have to buy another one! |
 | sent on March 29, 2019 Pros: Size, Sensor, file quality, aesthetics Cons: Lack of optical viewfinder Opinion: I decided to take this Fuji because I wanted something that was really in my pocket at all times. I really Say because I already have a Sony A6000 that is very small but it is still uncomfortable for example when I go to work or to do the shopping: all the opposite of this fuji that you pretty much forget to have it so small. I'm using it from a month so I display my first impressions that hopefully I will re-evaluate with the passage of time. I decided to focus on this compact because I was very interested to have a performance sensor without spending an exaggeration because this is a car "leisure", I know that there are much more performing models but at this price I have not found Competitors (also the GR which was my first choice I would have paid more) so this is the first point in favor. The quality of the file is fantastic for being a machine so small and the sensor sometimes makes me really "excite". I use it mainly to do a bit of street or to seize the moment when I'm not around to photograph and so I do not have my equipment, just pull it out of the pocket and take you to the house of images discrete, sometimes even exceptional. I read a lot about the blur but I have not found this problem (perhaps because having been conditioned a priori I always try to be very careful during the shooting phase as much as possible), the only real flaw in my opinion that is clear in Features but I thought I could do without it is the lack of the viewfinder and the inability to put a third party. Most of the time I really regret it because it is a great help in the composition, but also here I think is a matter of habit because the more use and less I think... To conclude I'm really happy with this "little one", last but not least is the aesthetics that in the silver version with leather grip gives a vintage look really nice. I discovered for the first time the World Fuji (and the XF10 is far from the most famous models of this brand) and I love it |
 | sent on December 29, 2018 Pros: Compact, APS-C sensor, honest cost, excellent finishes Cons: Lack of optical viewfinder Opinion: I recently purchased from a forum user This "small" Fuji. Socket for light outputs without sacrificing the quality of the FF. I wanted something discreet, light, but had the right potential. This Fuji turned out to be such. As far as I am concerned the files are very nice and the ISO tightness is equal/higher than the Canon APS-C. The optics is a 28 equivalent with diaphragm 2.8. Even at maximum opening it is fully usable. The AF I find it good, in line with what is the stamp of the machine. Spectacular instant mode. It is set at 2 meters or 5 meters, pressing a single button. Then it is self-focused with infinite focus. It makes the machine a bit and snaps, without worrying about the fire. Personally I miss the optical viewfinder. The lack forces you to shoot by looking at the display, increasing the risk of micro-blur with slow times. Also you lose a little the magic of the shot. Overall I consider it excellent especially related to price/performance and portability. |
 | sent on November 26, 2018 Pros: Finishes, ergonomics, Fuji files, focal change. Cons: Af a little uncertain with little light, if it were stabilized..... Opinion: The thing that I found most comfortable is the change of focal length that extends the range of use. From what I see is not a simple cropping and also the size of the file remains virtually unchanged. Good ergonomics as well as the quality of the materials. The yield is typical Fuji, nothing to add. The optics is sharp in my opinion considering the typology. The AF is a bit undecided with low light. Very positive judgement for a car to carry always with itself with the addition of the focal change. If it were stabilized, that would be a real gem. Very honest price considering the well above average of the current compact top. |
user72446  | sent on November 24, 2018 Pros: compactness, joystick, construction, optics, digital zoom. Cons: Microblur in 90% of photos, autofocus not from Fuji, Snapfocus with preset distances. Opinion: Proven for good in many conditions the machine has many qualities as described.... With a very good build quality.... Unfortunately a concession autofocus of low level makes it unsuitable for instantaneous shots.... I noticed a blur in all the shooting conditions except in priority mode of times with times set to 1/1000. Overall not worth the price from new..... |
