Fujifilm X-S10 Long Term Review! After 1 Year Of Use! Is It Worth It In 2022?!

[@ibadriba]

weather sealing would be the last box to check for the X-S10 to make it probably the only camera you'll ever buy and need.

[@Iamtongue]

i hope that comes in the xs20

[@Iamtongue]

XS10 is probably the best bang for your buck right now! Edit : This is even more true now that the xs20 is out.

[@adityakrishnamalhotra1]

Much better than the z fc aye?

[@gamaltaha6881]

There is something about fuji cameras that is so hypnotic, it is like a gorgeous beautiful woman, like a sparking gem, and the line of lenses like liquid gold. I owned many other brands but nothing compares to fuji.

[@bwloawesome]

Your videos have great, informational content and are stylized beautifully. The audio though.... Everytine there is music only I have to turn it down a bit and turn it back up. ESPECIALLY in the first cut after the intro. I don't know whether that's intentional or not but IMHO your vids would be next-tier if the audio was leveled with your voice. That way, I could very easily just make a pkaylist of your videos, sit back, and enjoy. Just my unsolicited two cents.

[@Iamtongue]

Ohh ya thanks for the feedback man! I’ll keep that in mind

[@ramey.street]

Great vid per usual 😎 . I’ve been rockin my XS10 for over a year now. I love it. Many different environments and weather, different styles, etc. It hasn’t let me down for work or hobby. I love the size and the grip and all the features and customization of the buttons/dials. I haven’t had any bug issues. Sorry to hear you have. I did have some buffer issues, but from my understanding and from what I’ve read, If you change the “clarity” up or down in your settings like for a certain recipe, it will buffer slower. I had set mine back to zero and no more issues on that. Also, I think high speed SD cards do help in that aspect too. Keep up the great work. And don’t switch over to those other guys lol

[@Iamtongue]

is clarity an issue? I shoot with Burst so clarity is back at "0" so it wont do any processing at all. Clarity only works if you shoot in single shot if im not mistaken.

[@ev6377]

@@Iamtongue have you tried switching the battery/performance (can't remember what is called) from normal (low?) mode to boost

[@joshuachubbphotography]

Great review bro, the size to grip ratio of the camera is unbeatable. I use the camera out of necessity because of the fully articulating screen and ibis, I prefer the design and looks of the xe4 more though, it makes me want to shoot.

[@Iamtongue]

XE4 looks like a fun camera. But im over testing out the same camera in different bodies. It's going to be the same review 😅

Hey Man, great review. So funny as always. I think I'll buy it anyway to replace my backup X-T2. I didn't jump into the X-T4 because I don't do video, my main camera is the X-T3. I'm not shoot burst, but I'd like the IBIS for travel orbjust short handheld clips. Now I'm using the X100V.

[@blackentrepreneur244]

After picking up a used Fuji XT3, i fell in love with the brand. I'm trading in my Sony a6400 for the Fuji XS10 as my back up Photography/Video camera.

[@torinsall]

LOL...one suggestion...next time you have a problem retrieving photos, DON'T format the card in a fit of anger/frustration. Take it out and put it aside until you can find out how to retrieve the photos. Put a new card in the camera and use that. 🙃 Nice to know it tolerates snow! BTW ... nice photos!

[@Iamtongue]

Fuji just gets me hot and bothered sometimes 🥲😬

[@torinsall]

@@Iamtongue Hahaha...yeah...it drove me crazy that when the x100v came out you could only use use the digital zoom shooting jpeg but not raw+jpeg AND could use the built-in ND filter for stills but not for video.Then after months they finally did an update which fixed both problems. On the plus side. x100v is the ONLY camera I will use digital zoom...and they did fix those 2 issues (tho why they released the camera with those flaws is a puzzle).

[@Iamtongue]

@@torinsall cuz Fuji 🤦‍♀️🙈

[@SebastianDavidPB]

If you think the buffer is bad, you haven't seen a Canon 90D shooting below advertised speeds and filling the crap out the buffer after 8 raw shots and on a fast card, that canon was the reason that made me switch, not to mention a shutter failure on the canon after only 11000ish shots

[@Iamtongue]

LOL damnn that sucks...

[@sclogse1]

Does boost help you with the buffer?The XT-4 can convert it's raw files into tiff. Not sure what size they wind up being, or if I'm mistaken and it turns jpegs into tiffs. So, does this body do either? Then again, 26 megs will make a nice sized jpeg...but still, we're not talking a 20x24 print at 300 d.p.i. Should we be talking about micro contrast and tonal range when discussing 26 megs? I grew up loooking at Ansel Adams giant prints in galleries. The range of tone in his work, (the old rule of always having a pure black and pure white somewhere in your print was the thing then. (kicking pictorialism out the door)

[@Iamtongue]

Boost does that help the buffer, I tried it on and off and it still lags.

[@vedranart]

@@Iamtongue I've tested my own X-S10, with boost turned on, and with NR turned off, with natural live turned ON too and I haven't noticed any buffer issue. It slows down after 8 frames, but keeps shooting without a problem in RAW+FINE, M 3:2 Try that.

[@manuelgonzalezfernandez475]

Very fine work. What kind of lenses do you use for both landscape and portrait?

[@Iamtongue]

For 90 % of my portrait work it’s the 35/33mm f1.4. The rest is a toss up between various lenses 56,90,23 And when I was shooting landscapes I would shoot with the 16-55 & 50-140mn f2.8

[@manuelgonzalezfernandez475]

@@Iamtongue thank you

[@danielbogos263]

From what I noticed, this camera is prone to lags and freezes. I do experiment lags and no responding to on/off button, when I am doing more complicated stuff such interval shooting, switching quick between photo/video mode, etc. Even the focus sometimes is locked to either background or whatever camera decided to. Its bloody frustrating and I wonder if the cause is the processor. Also, will xs-20 be free of these lags?

[@Iamtongue]

The r10 has decent specs but I don’t like canons gatekeeping mentality. They don’t allow third party lenses making you need to buy native glass. But their Apsc glass isn’t as good as their full frame counterparts. That’s my honest opinion.
