Fujifilm XF10

Pros: Extreme portability; optical quality at all apertures; good ergonomics and availability of controls in relation to size; file quality in line with other modern APSC sensors; More than acceptable battery life.

Cons: Autofocus not great. Absence of stabilization.

Opinion: The philosophy of this machine follows the famous GR series by Ricoh. Same focal length, same dimensions, same operation that is used to compose. Personally I bought it as a cheap alternative to the GRIII. The machine is quite solid and of good construction, with accessible controls, all compared to the small size. The lens is very sharp even at full aperture, you can shoot without problems even indoors, also thanks to the good high ISO hold, in line with what can be expected from modern APS-C sensors with similar resolution. The minimum focusing distance allows good close-ups, overall the focal length is versatile. It is often said that this machine tends to have shake problems even with relative safety times. I have encountered this problem. I think it may be due to the difficulty of keeping such a light body still and that it does not stick to the face, maybe there is also a slight shutter lag that does not help. I have the impression that the problem is mitigated a lot (but a lot) by using the touch screen for focus + shoot instead of the button. Less vibration is probably induced. I do not find it a great limit, indeed it is comfortable and all in all consistent with the philosophy and the way in which the machine is held. The autofocus is not great by modern mirrorless standards, however I don't find it so limiting especially considering the type of focal length. Too bad it is no longer in production, it is an excellent alternative to GR, it has allowed me to take many shots that I would never have done with the "big" camera.
