Fujifilm XF10

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.

Olympus XZ-2 iHS

Pros: Colors colors and colors (Olympus surpasses the much acclaimed Fuji for color science and exposure profile management, lights and shadows), already beautiful jpegs that are ready to be set in every detail with the fundamental, indeed vital, possibility of totally deactivating noise-filterING (noise-filter OFF) responsible in all machines of "bewilderment" and loss of quality, within the iso 100-400 range produces rows to envy to much bulky and expensive equipment, real-time preview of the cultable profile (255-000) shadowlights and therefore never again "burned" shots, try in high contrast conditions on landscape never sang to me the exposure nor "burned" a frame!, highlight/shabow curve modifiable in liveview in real time, in B/N it is possible to climb from iso up to 1200 with production of a fantastic grain , finally and not least the SuperFine profile in compression jpg almost nothing vital, poses B up to 16 minutes, of course finally the possibility of shooting in RAW totally workable even with the very valid olympus software.

Cons: For the price at which none of anyone is today belonging to the noise above 600ISO but this is not a defect as it is precisely of the small sensor itself.

Opinion: Taken out of curiosity as in excellent condition but bad to repair (firmware error) on ebay for 100 Euros just arrived I made a hard reset of the ROM and it started working again. Tried and amazed me! but really amazed!... it is part of the sensor size, for color sealing, keeping high lights and shadows, jpg and setability... you drink (considering the limits of the sensor!) at low iso the famous fuji, sony and beautiful company. Of course it should not be compared to a FF... but for 100 euros it is an unreciable jewel also valid in 2021! I very much hope that JIP will collect the glorious legacy of Olympus (DO NOT CHANGE the firmware and jpg engine) as the oly machines if well set are a spanna above the others... Forgot... makes MACRO SCARY! Plus with noise reduction off (Noise-Filter OFF) and iso within 400 photos have a SCARY sharpness when compared to the sensor! 100% peepando on the landscapes there are even micro-details in the trees in the background! This little gem beats some strange machinone with "sensorone" with results definitely NOT compact! If only JIP (Olympus) made a version with the 1-inch sensor you know what! It would be a must buy on day one. If you get a chance in the used on the xz2 take it on the fly it is a unique car. I dare not imagine what it is and what a... PEN-F ;)
