I have owned the X - S 10 now for about 2 1/2 weeks. I cannot believe this camera I cannot believe how good it is for the size and the value and the quality it produces. I post on several pages Instagram and other places as well people were still thinking that I was shooting with my Nikon D850. If I didn’t tell them they wouldn’t have known. This is a great camera for many reasons. And I’ve only just started. The reason I bought a small camera was precisely what you said at the start you can just point and click ….It’s really good and I mean really good and if you know how to handle a Camera you can get pro standard images out of his Canberra. 15 years ago professional photographers were using 12 megapixel cameras. This is 26 it’s more than enough and in fact I don’t understand why we’re getting into this megapixel wore it is a bit crazy if you asked me.

So right! Though I do prefer focusing manual glass on the highest res OLED EVF I can get my hands on, the Fujifilm's simulated microprism or split prism are pretty nice. - The Leica CL is especially adept with M glass, as that EVF somehow punches above its weight class, and the implementation of finder magnification is lovely.

There are two glaring omissions from this camera. 1) Weather sealing. 2) There is only one card slot, and it's only UHS-I. My Panasonic G85 has a UHS-II card slot, and that camera is four years old. Now, for video, that doesn't matter so much. But, if you're shooting bursts (and this camera can shoot 20 fps with a mechanical shutter and autofocus), you're going to be waiting for a while for the buffer to clear. Of course, they seem to be benchmarking something between the Sony a6400 and a6600.

Hi! So i have a question at the moment the XT-3 is at the same price point of the XS-10 both for 1400 with a kit lens. So with which would you go from a only photography stand and with casual video use?

[@DrKartoffelsalat]

If you are primarily doing photo the X-T3 is still a great option if your really want the manual dials. The lack of IBIS may be a consideration but thats really one of the few compromises for Photo. You'd gain an extra card slot however, that is better accessible, which for some photographers is a must. For video its a mixed bag too, X-T3 has more codec options, XS-10 has IBIS. Honestly, there really is no clear winner i think, both would take fairly identical pictures. Many photo people prefer the manual dials and screen of the X-T3, most hybrid-shooters prefer the tilty-flippy-screen of the XS-10 or X-T4.

I am looking to get into Fujifilm cameras, and I really think this X-S10 is the perfect way to get started out, for a great price. It does have a few compromises, compared to the X-T4, but for this price point it seems to very much be the best option among any current models from any maker...and they're compromises I can surely live with. Thanks for the videos....keep shining mister.

I am a photo enthusiast and after many hours of exploring full frame Sony etc. I purchased the XS10. I do not place much emphasis on video so that was not an issued compared to XS10. Weather sealing too, a nice feature but if shooting in the mist or drizzle aplastic shroud works fine. On the plus side the ergonomics with the XS10 are the best. Not having a Fuji camera before I did not have any experience with the controls of the camera. I find the controls very easy to customize for whatever scene, style or focus format desired. This camera is W A Y more than a camera for beginners. It certainly could be but if you are looking for more out of a camera you’ll love it. Either way have fun shooting.

Great stuff as usual Hugh. I'm feeling very centered right now. Thanks for that! I've been a Fuji lurker for a long time, but for 2 things. The analogue controls for 1. Birds and grandchildren move way to fast to be futzing with dials and taking my eye away from the VF. 2nd, the analogue controls meant no Custom modes. I use the custom settings all the time on my Sony and Olympus cameras, and that was a deal breaker, but now............hmmm. (or should it be ohmmmmm. And a BTW, on one of the reviews I watched today (I think Camera Conspiracies) it was mentioned that video settings can not be saved in the custom modes.

Say, Hugh, I just posted the following comment over on the SnapChick’s video on this camera, and since it’s addressed to you, too, and I don’t expect that you are reading replies to her, I thought I would put a copy here, too. How’s that for service!! :-) To: SnapChick and Hugh - Thanks to both of you for your recent videos on this camera. I am an ancient old SLR/DSLR geezer who is only now in the process of seriously shopping for my first mirrorless camera as a travel alternative to my wonderful, but all-too-heavy Nikon D850. Being a mostly Nikon guy (but, not a fanboy), I had been just trying to decide between the Z6 and new little Z5. But, the result of your two videos is that I will give a serious look at the X-S10. I have no idea what motivated Fuji, but for me, the new PASM dial approach does make this camera more appealing. Not only is it more familiar, coming from the Nikons, but to me it just seems more practical. I mean the physical shutter speed dial is a nice homage to the past - and indeed the cameras I grew up with - but to heck with that when you are trying to get the exact shot you want as quickly as you can. I can’t speak for others, but for me the PASM with two control dials is just more facile and faster. The biggest question I have to answer for myself is whether I want to back off from full frame to crop for my travel photos. Methinks I need to try this one out and compare images from it and one of my Nikon FF’s. For, as I told Hugh over the weekend: In the end, the love you take is equal to the images you make. :-) All the best. Thanks again. JW

@@quinnfitzpatrick7507 Yes, both are XF lenses made by Fujifilm. There’s little to choose between this and the a7c for landscape. The X-S10 has a couple more megapixels than the a7c; the a7c does a better at high ISO, but at the same depth of field their noise performance is similar, and landscape photographers especially can use slower shutter speeds to compensate. A7c has marginally better AF but that advantage is moot for landscape.

The 19-24 Fuji XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR costs $999. and weighs 13.5 ounces. The Sony Full frame a7c costs about about $800 more than the Fuji. Now Sony is a full frame camera vs the Fuji aps-c format.

Nice camera. As owner of XT1, XT20, XT-2 and H-X1.... I stopped using it for 1 pair of G9. I don't see big jump from 20MPs to 24/26MPs in IQ and with G9 (or EM1.2s), High-Res options are useful FOR me with landscape and cityscape when I don't want to carry Sony A7R3s. So, now with IBIS in Fuji...why don't they offer High-Res (or pixel shift) technology either? I will happy stop my G9s or EM1.2s again for Fuji. For me now, it's either M4/3 or FF. M4/3 has nice useful advance features and FF Sony are just brutally high res for even A0 prints. I will wait for FW updates from Fuji if they can add High-Res features or Live ND to see where my next gears will be. Come on Fuji, try to get M4/3 features into your IBIS cameras too!!??

Ty for this video. It is very well informed. I have watched so many of your videos now. They’re great

[@3BMEP]

Glad you enjoy them, Will! 😊🖖🏻

[@Oske.images]

After so much looking, along with this and other sources, I have now found the camera I've wanted for some time.. Something to move from my Panasonic GX80/85 with ibis and ois lenses. A move to a larger apsc sensor , and a jump to the Fuji system that has tempted me for many years. A great light carry everywhere camera that can do everything. Including smooth video if required. I'll keep my trusty Canon full frame SLR for my night photography and few other things..

[@3BMEP]

Enjoy!

[@errydm]

The b/w shots with the xt4 are beautiful!

[@neilford5262]

Best. Video. Ever! (Commenting after second watch through 😀). The first five minutes were sublime and the rest provided just the right amount of information for this existing Fuji shooter to place a pre-order. Now just have to wait for it to actually ship and to see what Hugh comes out with next.

[@3BMEP]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Neil. I lost sleep over it!

[@neilford5262]

@@3BMEP Sorry to hear you lost sleep over it 🙁

[@timgalletas3856]

This was a great video! I’m losing hair trying to decide between this camera and the a6600. The X-S10 has everything I need for video but the A6600 has better Battery and great AF. However, the horrible rolling shutter on the a6600 is horrendous. It’s a tough decision to make.

[@3BMEP]

What did you decide, and how has it gone?

[@ChuckAbles]

As I scan a roll of film into the PC, I thought I'd visit KZbin and seen you posted this presentation. And I thought, I love Fujifilm, must watch, and I have to say Hugh; the camera info just went off to the side, and it was your musing of life with this camera at the start. The music added to this as well. I was just tickled with it; afterwards, I just felt good.

[@canalsentir]

Hi from Mexico! Great video! The pictures are very good, both the composition, and the .. content haha. Digital is fantastic, i will eventually buy one, but for now it will be a vintage Leica iii(R?) with lense at auction...soon!! :-D Always love your commentary, always eloquent! I usually watch 100% of each video!

[@3BMEP]

Hey - Eisenstaedt made to with a Leica III - enjoy!

[@Greyshore]

Hugh. Great video. Like the overlays and VO script. I so appreciate your sardonic approach to gear. Well done sir

[@TischTosh]

Thank you so much for this video, I love your style. I'm moving from my beloved Oly em5 m2 to this camera but choosing to move from the size & convenience of mft (I was considering the PanaLumix G9...I'm still a little worried, but you ease my mind a bit. Fuji was the first to make my awesome camera with the sensor it deserves. Fortunately I'm not in TOO deep with mft glass. APSC glass costs more. Worth it though, I hope.

[@kanalya1000chertey]

Also, I know that Pentax is a footnote at this point, but there's still no APS-C (and not even some full frame cameras) that match the KP's low light dynamic range. I honestly have no idea how Pentax does it.

[@smichaelpridgen]

That intro.... EPIC!!!!!

[@cwehden]

Am I the only one who hates touch screens? They are laggy and awful, please god no more.

[@sonholee5769]

touch screen has to be better so that it feels as good as operating a phone or its worthless. I do however, use the swipe functions and enjoy them.

[@danieldougan269]

You don't hate touch screens. You hate bad touch screens.

[@sonholee5769]

@@danieldougan269 indeed. I also enjoy the tactile experience of buttons and dials that Fuji does so well, but navigating menus could/should be as easy as navigating our smartphones.

[@andersistbesser]

I have a gh5 and the touch screen is not laggy, its perfect! Just buy a better camera. I guess you are a sony user, they have terrible screens

[@barrycohen311]

My fingers have no capacitance. They don't work well with touch screen, even on cellphones.

[@gulohemuls8905]

I may have an unpopular opinion, but I see it as a perfect pocketable street camera. Pair it with 18/2 pancake, drop it with spare battery and spare card in the pocket and you're set. May be add 35/2 in the other pocket.

[@3BMEP]

I share your opinion!

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

hugh-glad you and yours are well. i have recently sipped the fuji kool-aid by picking up a new-to-me X100T. the X-S10 camera is a nice step forward by fuji. as for your mind-bending/blending opening spiel, i picked up what you were putting down. right on, brother.

[@3BMEP]

[@PeakHumanLife]

Na maste, this was an amazing review. Thoroughly enjoyed. Though albeit sometimes I was slightly confused whether you're saying it's good camera compared to competition (eg. when you started talking about A7C). I'm very interested in this camera. Though I have hard time letting go of 4k 60 and that I want and need it. (eg. for slightly smoother and slowed down "B-roll"). I'd be using it mostly for KZbin and self-shooting, and then learning and improving on it creating other videos, too. + dabbing into photography (most likely street and landscape/nature). I'm tempted to wait it out a bit longer to see if Sonu will come up with some a7600 or a7400. Or whether there'd be some nice discount on XT-4 during black friday (20% would prob make me snag it as that would make it around 1500 euro - BTW new sony a6600 costs 1600 euro here... ridiculous). Basically, if Sony does not come up with a new APS-C camera very soon, Fuji's got a winner

[@3BMEP]

I don’t expect an a7xxx, but I have no inside knowledge. Waiting for Black Friday is not a bad idea in any case. I think it’s a great camera, but really, so are the others. It’s a question of use cases, priorities, and budget - as always. 🙏🏻😊

[@PeakHumanLife]

@@3BMEP Yeah, totally get that. Though it's hard for me to choose as I have no experience with "Real" cameras so I'm not really sure what I truly need. (Is that 4k 60 really that important to me? I know I wanna be uploading things in 4k, + 4k helps a lot when shooting and reframing myself, but is 4k 60 that important to me for broll?). Thanks though, and looking forward to more Yoga/Mindfulness/philosophy infused reviews and videos :D

[@chuck2703]

[@ZachariahConnor]

Somehow the footage in 720p on the x-s10 looked pretty dang good. I love my x-s10. The only things that would make it better turn it into an x-t4

[@keithnisbet]

Brilliant outro. Jarring one back into what’s truly important. Always wonderfully scripted. You, HB, have definitely “got skills”!

[@3BMEP]

😊🙏🏻

[@gabrielherrmann71]

The announcement of the x-s10 makes me think there might be an x-s1 in the future that could bring more video centric features and could possibly be an upgrade path for those who have the gh5 but want a new camera in late 2021 or 2022?? Just a crazy idea

[@3BMEP]

I think your idea has merit!

[@primal_aperture_photo]

Wow! You're fun to watch! I'm looking at the XS 10 for wildlife photography with the hopes of getting my hands on the new upcoming 70-300mm fuji lens in 2021. I like the small size I can stuff into my backback, the nice grip for the bigger lenses and the price as I'm on a government retiree's budget! Haha! Thanks for the review it was very entertaining :)

[@FormlessPhotography]

Great video. I’m considering one of these for the misses as a “Pocket Rocket” lol. We have Z50’s currently as “everyday” cameras that never leave the car paired with (IMO) one of the best if not the best lens made, (Pound for pound @ 50mm 1.8) The NIKKOR 50mm 1.8s. That lens literally has not come off the Z50 for everyday use. So I’d be interested to see how this compares along side. Also, I’m sure you’ve seen the New Nikon announcement. Any chances we can get some perspective, thoughts/opinions on what’s to come? I’m interested in the Z7II. As usual, thank you for all of the great content and hope you and the family are well and safe. -Cheers

[@3BMEP]

The Nikkor Z 1.8 primes are fantastic. They have the kind of performance and value to which Fujifilm should aspire with the next versions of their primes. Absolutely top-notch.

[@FormlessPhotography]

@@3BMEP Couldn't agree more. I'll keep my fingers crossed on the Z6II/Z7II video from ya. Thanks for responding my good man. 🤞🏾

[@akarca]

We love fuji in turkey, but cheap than others. Xs10 with 16-80 12.000₺, sony 6600 with a kit 18-20.000₺. Please change to dolars:)

[@mistylandschaft]

7:42 NO WAY, they can't pull this off. I preordered to use this camera for streaming. I NEED powering the camera through USB and video through USB or HDMI....

[@3BMEP]

I hear you. But you can always use one of those battery adapter thingies that replace your battery. Inelegant, but does the job.

[@mistylandschaft]

@@3BMEP did you try USB-PD (power delivery) to charge/power while turned on?

[@3BMEP]

Spoke to Fujifilm directly.
