Fujifilm XF10 Premium Compact Camera - Black

Product Information

The XF10 isn’t the only Fujifilm camera with this issue, since the AF in the top-end X100F isn’t quite as snappy as you’d expect either. If that’s the price of having such a slim lens, though, it’s probably worth paying. The LX15's 1in sensor is smaller than the one in the XF10, and only offer 20.1MP, but you get a speedy AF system, a flip-up screen and great 4K video quality, in addition to a 24-72mm (equivalent) zoom lens – all for a great price.

For reference, the 5m at F5.6 setting provides you with good focus from 2m to infinity and the 2m at F8 setting gives you good focus from about 1m to 24m of distance. In other words, just because the 2m setting has an F8 aperture, you'll find that objects far off in the distance will be softer than they will at the 5m setting because they'll be outside the plane of focus. Thankfully, image quality is sound, with pleasing colours in JPEGs, low image noise levels throughout much of the ISO range and good detail from the lens. You do need to watch the metering and auto white balance systems, though, as the camera doesn't always get things right on its own. Although you can no longer easily find the Fujifilm X70 new, there are plenty of used models out there. The controls are very different, with direct dials for exposure settings and a screen that tilts for easier shooting from the hip. The X70 also allows you to ditch the lens cap in favor of a filter using an adapter, which adds convenience at the expense of a bit of bulk. Like the Ricoh, though, you're getting a previous generation sensor that is noisier, but still has pleasing color rendition.Now, OK, nobody wrote that the pictures weren’t good, but handling, controls, focus performance, speed… were supposed to be so poor that Fuji was all but requested to take it off the market. RAW images look great from most cameras when processed correctly. In-camera JPGs can look great too, but no camera manufacturer that I know of tries to maximize image quality of their in-camera JPGs. It's mind boggling. Though the XF10 has a hybrid autofocus system with phase detection, we weren't blown away by autofocus accuracy. Or speed, for that matter. The XF10 is well suited to low-light shooting, allowing you to hand-hold the camera in places where you'd usually be reaching for a tripod (if allowed) or other support. Note that this camera does not feature built-in optical image stabilisation, although we didn't miss it too much due to the short focal length.

There are 10 ISO settings available on the Fujifilm XF10 for JPEGs, and 7 for RAW files. Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting for both JPEG and RAW files.

I'm sad to hear this as it's so close but AF beeps when it's wrong is always frustrating and unforgivable. I'm surprised Fujifilm didn't improve on this in firmware patches as they have often done before. Even specifically about revised AF algorithms. Approx. 0.7 sec., when High Performance mode set to ON Approx. 1.1 sec., when High Performance mode set to OFF * Fujifilm research As standard, sensitivity can be set in the range ISO 200-12800. If you don’t mind sacrificing the ability to shoot raw files, the range can be extended to include ISO 100, 25,600 and 51,200. Alternatively, there are three customisable Auto ISO settings.There's a fairly generously sized hand-grip at the front of the X70 that's coated in a faux leatherette material, and a prominent rubber thumb-rest on the rear. One small metal eyelet on the side of the body is used for connecting the supplied wrist strap. A metal tripod mount is positioned off-centre from the lens towards the shared memory card / battery compartment, so annoyingly you do have to remove the camera from the tripod to change either of them.

The Fujifilm XF10 is an absolute beast when it comes to image quality. If you like the Fujifilm Film simulations, then you’d probably really be okay with the JPEG output. But otherwise, the image quality and the editing abilities in Capture One are very good. Bokeh Employing the same sensor and image processor as the X-T100 and X-A5 mirrorless cameras means that the XF10 delivers excellent quality images, despite using a Bayer sensor rather than the more premium X-Trans sensor used in the higher-end X-series models. The XF10 also uses exactly the same high-quality 28mm fixed lens that the X70 featured, with the fast f/2.8 aperture and 9-blade aperture making it easy to create some lovely bokeh effects, whilst being sharp throughout the frame when stopped down.

Ditch the unpractical lens cap, use a hard case. For the occasional moment you need a tilt screen, use camera remote.

With the 1.10 firmware, this camera is actually pretty fantastic for its size and price, but not out of the box. I really did need to adjust the settings to get everything I wanted on the screen and the function buttons and ISO settings to my taste. The RAW files are easy to work with, but Lightroom doesn’t render them as nicely as Capture One. Capture One works for free with this camera. The lens is decently sharp. The colours are great! We never tire of Fujifilm's gorgeous film simulations, most of which are present in the XF10. But how does it look in our studio scene? The new Fujifilm XF10 is a largely successful attempt to woo both smartphone upgraders and serious enthusiasts, ultimately satisfying both camps thanks to the combination of excellent image quality and diminutive size. The pairing of an APS-C sensor with the excellent fixed lens makes the XF10 more than capable of producing images every bit as good as Fujifilm's more expensive X-series cameras. Fujifilm has included 4K Burst mode in the XF10’s drive options. When this is selected, you can shoot at 30fps and then extract the stills in-camera.The Fuji Xf-10 was to be the last try on compact cameras for me.

The camera features an APS-C sized sensor which is 14 times larger than the sensor in a standard smartphone. The XF10, which will be available in August 2018, includes all the hallmarks of the X Series system, combining simple manual operation with superior image quality and versatile picture-taking options. Thanks to its large sensor and high-quality lens, the XF10 is a very capable compact camera. Noise is controlled very well and images have lots of detail.
