Hi, thanks for the great video. Based on current eBay listings it appears the X-S10 and X-T4 are around the same price.

[@maxszeto7030]

X-E1 --> X-T20 --> X-S10. Extremely happy with how the S10 handles, got it on release day and combine it with the 16-55mm. Great point on the omission of weather sealing, memory redundancy and 4k 60fps. Those were the main points that did push me towards the T4 but at the end of the day the S10's grip/size and image processing capability won me over. Considering the price was AUD1400 vs AUD1900, money wasn't that much of difference. Thanks for the tight review =)

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Thank you for the support, and yes that grip is amazing.

[@trulyawful_]

My goodness, I've been checking out so many reivews for the S10 as I'm looking at one for vlogging and hobbyist stuff (still am, btw) - but the depth and simplicity combined in this review has been so damn refreshing. Kia Ora bro!

[@stefanv03]

very good review! I am a hobby user with good photography skills but no meaningful technical knowledge on video. i owned the xt30 and then moved to xt3. xt3 is the real thing vs xt30 but... never really needed the dual card slot or weather sealing and never really spent the time to understand video settings which meant i almost never used the xt3 for video as it doesn't have a fully automatic mode for video (or stills). the other thing was the mechanical dials - they're beautiful and really nice to use but...too many times dials got moved in my bag and i missed several shots and the process to check every setting before the shot was a bit tedious. Mind you - a few weeks may have passed from the last time I used the camera. having scene/auto modes it makes it easier to hand it to someone else to take a shot and also to take a quick shot without having to go through all the manual settings. For me, video is now an option with auto mode. That being said, I just purchased the xs-10 a few days ago and so far I'm liking it. In all likelihood, xt3 will go on sale, as it's probably too professional for my kind of usage. And handling is really good - it's no xt3 but I still found enough external controls for what I am using.

[@abameztv359]

One who goes for the XT 4 and doesn't know the right settings might end up with bad results, X-S10 is cheaper and can be used to improve ur photography skills before getting an expensive camera . They all do similar jobs, it depends on the user.

[@titoujimmy9307]

thanks a lot finally the video you think you would get when typing comparison vs , thanks again

[@StarlordStavanger]

When the X-T4 came out I had a bit of extra money, so for me it was a no-brainer to grab it. Being back on a budget, comparing these I'd probably lean more towards the X-T3 for the bigger EVF, dual card slots, since IBIS isn't a top tier selling point for me, but the ergonomics of the X-S10 grip is what I would have liked to have seen on the X-T4 (it's still just a smidge too small, and I've got small hands!). No doubt though if money wasn't an issue I could see myself using an X-T4 for all my creative/commercial shooting and an X-S10 for anything where I didn't need to go all out serious. Thanks for all the videos you do man, keep it up! And also thanks for being super approachable as well, both the feeling I get from you in your videos, but also from the comments section as well. Truly something unique to have some good genuine human connectivity, especially during these pandemic times. Be well and be safe my dude, till text comment, I'll catch ya next time! :P

[@thomasgregory4871]

One thing about IBIS versus tripod, IBIS is always usable whereas a tripod is not. A lot of places where you can take pictures indoors (castles, museums, etc) won't let you use a tripod. Also, setting up a tripod on a busy city street can earn you a lot of ill-will rather quickly. On top of that, it's not always feasible to drag a tripod along on a trip (e.g. gitting it into an overhead on a plane or bus) or up a mountain. But, everyone has different needs and different steadiness of hands ;)

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

I 100% agree with everything you just said, I just think my personal quality requirements have yet to be meet by ibis. As in I have unrealistic expectations from it, maybe it’s been over sold to me to heavy in the past / by the internet

[@RLCCuber]

Thanks Thomas! Excellent video as always! The X-S10 looks like a great little camera. I have both the X-T3 and X-T4. The most important thing for me is the battery life, dual card slots and the IBIS of the X-T4, especially for vintage lenses and the 90 + 56 lenses. If I’m shooting wildlife or video, I’ll choose the X-T4 but if I’m traveling light for casual photography, I’ll take the X-T3. Both cameras are brilliant especially after the latest firmware update. Thanks again and looking forward to the X-H2 😉

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

With everyone doing box cams now I really hope Fuji make one soon, specially with raw via external. I wonder if the x-h2 will be similar to the X-H1?

[@RLCCuber]

@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I’m not sure but hopefully this time the X-H2 will sit well above the X-T4 unlike the last release of the X-H1 + X-T3. I guess we’ll see in a few months!

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

If I was to guess I think the x-pro series is photo focused. The x-t series is hybrid. And the x-h series is kinda video, but you're right the X-T3 came out with better video so quickly afterwards the X-H1 felt a little odd. But there are a few features of the X-H1 many people loved so it also wouldn't surprise me if it was just the X-T4+firmware in a x-h series body

[@RLCCuber]

@@ThomasBusbyPhotography True and I think they’ll also add in a new higher megapixel sensor which will be the sensor for the following iterations eg X-t5, X-S20 etc I’m also interested to see what they do with the X-E4 😎

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Hmmmm I don't know about higher MP, I think defraction kicks in around 30ish for ASAP-C sensors and 50ish for full frame. So I'm not sure if megapixels will go much higher. Better AF will continue surely though

[@nathanielngosy]

Hi Thomas. Thank you for this excellent table comparison of the threee cams. Sorry for being kind of very late in this game but I need your wisdom to help me with my decision. I'm currently contemplating of selling/trading my XT3 for an XS10 because ever since my X100v arrived with its compact form factor and having that Classic Neg film sim (which bakes fuji recipes that emulate classic film developed prints), my XT3 along with my other XF lenses, has gotten lesser use. Perhaps it may motivate me if I replace my XT3 with something compact with the Classic Neg sim feature. What's hesitating me is that the XS10's not weather sealed which may be compromising if subjected to certain weather conditions (rain, snow) and locations (windy and sandy beaches) that may damage either internal or external components like the dials. I may also miss the Fuji magic with the XT3's vintage look. My Xt3 didn't have major issues at all (maybe because I use it gently and only on my day-offs, holidays, special occasions, and travels). As much as the XT4's the better replacement, my budget is restricted to the XS10 (Thought about the XT30ii but feeling it on my hands, it wasn't for me BESIDES it having multiple issues). The good thing is that I haven't read much issues about the XS10 especially when subjected to compromising weather ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaTZpax4iZhmpKMsi=mpGGWDwX0Hct\_C8e OR kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWmiaahhNmFpqMsi=uxd2pdec\_2pRlEKs ). I shoot street, food, travel and family documentaries and wouldn't ever intend to use my cam on any harsh or compromising environments. Furthermore, I'm kind of frantic thinking ahead that the XS10 won't have that much resale value similar to the XT3 (I actually can sell my XT3 with the price I paid for it brand new-great resale value after over 2.5 years of usage). Is it unwise to replace a virtually problem-free XT3 for an XS10 all because of a film sim and perhaps as a bonus, IBIS (I do shoot lots of low light images)? Thank you.

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Hmmm rough one and I’m not sure I can be much help. I kind of have a personal rule that if I haven’t used a bit of gear much over a 12 month period then I sell it off. If you’re unsure, I’d keep the xt3, and if it gets the point where it looks like you’ll only be using it say once every 4 months, sell it while it has more value, and just keep the money in the bank until you KNOW what you want next

[@nathanielngosy]

@@ThomasBusbyPhotography My situation's complicated isn't it? But Wow. This is excellent advice actually. And thank you for responding promptly. Got to try out the XS10 yesterday and it feels good in the hand. I'll have to add a plate and a thumb grip as well for added security. The IBIS is actually impressive. BUT overall, I'd still have to weigh what would suit my requirements. Perhaps there'll be hints in the upcoming Sept. 12th X summit.

[@bronzepodcast]

This was a really good review. The distinction between pro vs amateur usage of the camera nailed it. I was becoming really confused by it, since I wanted the robustness of the XT's. Unfortunately I am jumping in to the Fuji family now, meaning I have zero lenses. Maybe if I had a couple Fuji lenses already I would go for the xt4, since the body is selling in the EU for €1.5k only. Wanting to get a nice lens, we can get the 16-80mm + xs10 for those €1.5k. The XT3 is at the same price and I actually do not need card redundancy, nor the 4k60p. Thanks for making things clearer.

Welcome to Fuji!

[@marklaurendet1861]

Just found your channel when looking for X-S10 reviews. With the demise of Olympus I am thinking of the Fuji system. I like your presentation style and content so I subscribed. The X-T4 menu walk through was very good One question about the X-S10, does it have a remote shutter cable release socket? One thing I really need, and no I hate phone apps if that is the only option. Probably the X-T4 is what I should look at. I would like to see some lens reviews like the 100-400 and other red badge zoom lenses as I would like to match the quality of the Olympus pro zooms. The 18-135 I think would leave me dissapointed. Anyway looking forward to your future content

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Thank you, I no longer have the x-s10 on me but all the other Fuji cameras I have used have had a way to attach a cable release, normally though micro usb or usb-c, I'd look more into this. And yes I have a few of those red badge lens reviews on the way very very soon. Cheers for the sub!

[@MichaelBabich]

I get a really great and useful topic for you to make a video about that could be really popular and doesn't require any additional equipment to show. I recently purchased Fuji X-S10 - thank you for the reviews - and learned that it has dual native ISO. This is a very interesting topic and there is not enough digestible information about it. Apparently, the X-Trans sensor in X-T4 and X-S10 has the first native ISO of 640. Previously in an older sensor, it was 800. By under-amplifying the signal the ISO could be made even 80, but with the worst dynamic range. Providing more gain to native ISO 640 we get higher ISO and there is more noise introduced. But at the second native ISO of 2000, there is another gain mechanism used and at ISO 2000 there is less noise than at ISO 1600. I still try to learn all the details and what is the best ISO in this situation to use. Apparently it is better to use ISO 2000 than ISO 1600 and 640 instead of 200.

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Those are different iso levels to what I have heard, but I found many trying to test it also don't know about signal to noise ratio. But thank you kindly for the idea

[@SeaBayProductions]

This camera is intriguing to me, I've been in love with the colors from a Fuji for a while, and as someone who needs lightweight, portability, and ease of use for my day job [creating content for the hospital I work for] and side job -- budget friendly wedding videos and simple commercials for local businesses. Idk if it'll fit on a small gimbal like the Zhyuin Crane M2 (due to its ergonomics and the hand grip size) but as someone who only shoots video, the XS10 with the 35mm f 1.4 fuji lens weighs in at a combined 652 grams (max payload for gimbal says 720 grams) looks like it could be a fantastic combination for under $2,000

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

That sounds like a pretty stunning kit. If you are shooting with auto focus though I'd suggest looking at the 35mm f/2 as for video I think it's AF is much better. Plus it's cheaper 😊

[@yaniswalti6388]

@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I would also go for the f2 for video. Because the xs10 isn't weather resistant you also don't need the xf version with WR, the xc has the same optics but feels also cheaper. If you shoot video, keep in mind the XS10 only shoots 8bit (i'm not a fan of shooting log with 8bit, but eterna is also very good)

[@mikec1851]

Really enjoyed your review and your comparison of the 3 cameras. I recently sold my 4 year old X-T2 and have ordered the X-S10. As a casual hobbyist photographer I felt the X-S10 was un upgrade on my X-T2. It offered just about everything my X-T2 offered but with a better AF system, IBIS, an incredible grip all in a smaller more travel friendly body. I won't miss the weather sealing of the X-T2 as in 4 years of ownership I never used it in the rain or any dusty environments. I will however miss the external shutter and ISO dials but I can live with the PASM setup. I would love to see a comparison between the X-S10 and X-T4 where both cameras are given to a professional photographer and they take the same photos (landscape, portrait, macro) using the same lenses on both cameras. As both use the same sensor I reckon the average person would not be able to tell the difference. Video may be a different story as X-T4 is clearly superior, however for stills I reckon you could get the same or very close to the same output from an X-S10. Agree that the X-T4 is a must for a professional due to weather sealing and dual card slots, however for non professionals these two features are not deal breakers. When that Australia/NZ travel bubble opens up I would love to get over the ditch and visit the South Island. I have friends that have been there and have raved about the brilliant photography opportunities.

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

[@flyingpotato3680]

I own the xt3 and xt4 I dont think the xt3 will be out of production for a long time I think the reason why fuji might not stop making the camera for a long time in my opinion until the xt5 because most professionals need 2 pro bodies and the xt3 and xt4 really compliment each other so well one is geared towards photo the xt3 and one is geared towards video but they can both do each others jobs respectively. But I can also see that it's also possible for fujifilm to cancel production of the camera because why buy another xt4 if you can get an xt3 it saves you alot of money

Thanks for this video dude. I've already ordered the XF 70-300 after deciding to switch/upgrade to the Fujifilm system after using a Canon M50 MK ii. I was all but certain I would purchase a used X-T4 over the next few weeks. However, I'm wondering if the XS-20's release in the next couple of weeks will be a game changer. It's rumoured to have the same battery as the X-T4 with the same 26.1MP, but with autofocus similar to, if not better than the X-T5 and/or XH-2S. My guess is that it'll probably not have dual card slots or 4K60 video capabilities. Therefore, I'd like to know you're opinion on this decision because the X-T4 looks awesome, but I do semi-professional surf photography/videography and the main reason I'm thinking about the XS-20 instead is the likely improved autofocus capabilities along with the same battery and I guess, similar price. I also do many different types of photography such as portrait/landscape and wildlife, so I would love to know you're thoughts dude? Thanks 👍

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

I know the autofocus is not Sony or Canon level, but if it can get the job done, that's all that matters to me. Plus, it looks like an amazing all-round camera with stunning image quality.

There is always another camera with a slightly better feature, but I use fuji by choice and love the overall package.

I’m gonna make a really funny point I know everyone says oh hang on a second it loses focus when you turn around but seriously when was the last time someone did a video where they turned around and then returned around again to the camera. That’s kind of GoPro sort of stuff. I get the point that auto focus in cameras is not perfect but you gotta remember where we were 10 years ago where there was no Ibis no autofocus no nothing. I have this little camera and it’s a little beast of a thing. It’s the best camera I’ve ever bought for the money. And I’ve got some really nice big cameras. But this little thing kicks arse for its money and size pound for pound it is the best camera.

I bought an XT-3 when it went on sale right after the X-T4 was released and befor the X-S10 was announced. After it was announced I was a little bummed I didn't have that choice when I made my purchase. But for what I do (mostly landscapes and no video as of yet) the XT-3 is the right choice for me. I am glad Fuji made the X-S10, it's just not for me. I'm sure it will be a good seller. Great comparison, keep up the good work.

The XT30 is also a real possibility for travel or a pro's backup. It's even lighter and smaller at like 350g, it has a tilting screen which is better for the operator, it has the Fuji dial system, looks better, and you can get a used one for $600 U.S. Since neither has 10 bit for video, the IBIS is less important and isn't perfect anyways. You can use OIS lenses for a better result in video anyways since they don't jitter when panned.

[@mswhite1532]

Recently subscribed to your channel and have been enjoying all your videos, very useful and practical information. One question that I have is regarding using IBIS and OIS together. For example, using the Fujinon 16-80mm and a camera with IBIS such as the X-H1, XS10 or XT4, how many equivalent stops of stabilization would one get? I don’t imagine they would be additive? In low light conditions, if one used a Fujifilm XT3 with the Fujinon 16-80 vs the Fujifilm XS10 with the sane lens and identical settings, would the Xs10 image output be significantly better?

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Somewhere on fujis website they have a list of how many stops you get with each lens and camera combination. The best the xs10 can achieve is 6 stops, and the xt4 is 6.5 stops. I can't remember exact which lenses you need to use to get these results though. Cheers for all the support though

[@asyaskorik3334]

hello! I'm planning to buy a fuji camera soon and im choosing between x-s10 and x-t3.I buy it to shoot street and portraits. I like the ergonomics and switches better on x-t3, but from what I read x-s10 is faster and better for street photography. What would you recommend me? given the fact of living mainly between to countries (with cold and snowy weather in one and desert hot climate in the other one)

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

X-T3. With the latest firmware update there is no speed difference. Easy answer and all the best.

I purchased the XS10 and loved the size, weight and IQ but I ended up returning it to the camera store, because I couldn't customise/switch the front and rear command dials so that I had shutter speed on the front dial. Shutter speed on the rear dial was unworkable for me 😢

[@renatobfa]

I'm still undecided about the X-S10 vs X-T3. The X-S10 is newer, has the IBIS, is smaller and better ergonomics, and is U$ 100 cheaper right now. But, the X-T3 has a better EVF, has the flip up/down screen (that i prefer), has more buttons and has the traditional dials (not better, just tradicional). With a lens with OIS, the IBIS would be redundant. But my main struggle is that I eventualy might add prime lenses without OIS. So, this is my situation... EVF / flip up-down screen/+ buttons --- VS --- IBIS, ergos? My main goal would be photography / travel, 70% photos, 30% short videos. Is the X-S10 small enough to justify it for travel instead of the X-T3?

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Ok in that case with them both being so even to your needs, just get the best deal, or the cheapest etc, the differences to you won’t be huge, though I think I’d lean slightly towards the xt3 because of the weather sealing which I use all the time with travel and landscape, and I always use a tripod for landscape and photographing art so Ibis doesn’t help much there

I was looking at the X-T30 and X-T3 and somehow stumbled upon the X-S10. While I really really like the look and layout of the X-T series, I found the X-S10 body new for 565 euros and sometimes you have to think with your brain

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Hahaha yeah that’s a good deal

[@Nick_G7IZR]

I've been thinking about the X-S10 for a while, coming from a non-Fuji background I like the dials. But I can't decide about the lens option. I have 3 choices in the UK, camera with: 15-45 at 999 GBP 18-55 at 1,100 GBP 16-80 at 1,400 GBP I'm minded to go for the 16-80 as an all-rounder lens but it's hard to justify an extra 400 GBP over the 15-45. It would be for daily photography whilst out walking as well as holidays. I'm not bothered about video at all. What would you spend your own money on? :)

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

Get the 16-80, the extra will be worth it for the walking around kinda stuff, and if you find you need or want more it will hold its value if you look after it. The other two will leave you wanting more, which will cost you more in the long run plus mean you’ll be carrying even more. The 16-80 suits what you described the best, even considering price

[@Nick_G7IZR]

@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Thanks. That helps...

[@josephk.9567]

what do you think is best for street photography and video making, X-T3 or X-S10? My assumption is that the IBIS will make a big difference in favour of the latter.

I'm a serious amateur. I do 85%photos and 15%video. I'm not a blogger. I'm considering the xs10, xt3, xt30ii, and xpro2. (I'd live the xpro3 if it had a traditional flip out lcd). From the ones I mention above I'm leaning towards the xpro2 or xt3. (If I go with xt30ii I'd get the 18 to 55 mm lense.) What would you recommend?

I have an X-T3 and looking to get a second camera to give me that second angle for talking head videos. You can get a second hand X-T3 and X-S10 for the same price as a single new X-T4!

[@rpmusick]

I feel like the x-s and x-h series of fuji cameras have a softer (more cinematic) look than the x-t series. Judging just based on the footage I've seen on youtube. The camera conspiracy guy had a comment about this in his x-h2s vs x-t4 comparison, and I can't get it out of my head as an x-t3 user.

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

To be honest I feel that only really applies though if you’re not colour grading / editing. Which is 100% fine and rewarding to work in a straight out of camera environment. But I feel “look” is 99% effected by editing and grading and as someone who has and edits xt4 and xh2s footage side by side…I can’t see a single difference between cameras

[@nowofficial2853]

I know this comment is long after the video, so perhaps you won't see it. I think the X-t4 and x T3 make it much easier to learn the exposure triangle, and in general how photography works . Having a dial on the top with A and S and P isn't helpful. But if you put an X-t4 in aperture priority you see on the top that the aperture is changing and all the other things are on auto. It's all right in front of you not being managed invisibly by the camera (as in the X-s10) . Then when you look in the viewfinder you see the results of your adjustment. Having unlabeled control dials means the new shooter has to remember what they're for. On the x-t4 you've got those dials if you're experienced, but if you're not all those labeled locking adjustment dials on the top make learning much easier.

[@ThomasBusbyPhotography]

I’d would be very inclined to agree, cheers for sharing

[@alvinbartolome1239]

I could be the target market of this camera, if not with this pandemic (cash flow issues) I'd grab it in a snap. The X-T3 is still a no-brainer though especially for paid work.

[@wilfredodominguezjr.6353]

good day sir, its me again, coz i've not made up my mind yet on which to buy, xt-3 or xs-10. most vloggers are addressing their blogs mostly to pros, or those from other brands, or to those who are at least have adequate knowledge of photography already. But im practically a beginner in the real sense of the word. so i have to beg your indulgence for my asking too much. I wanted a good ( but not very expensive) mirrorless cam to promote my american bullies especially the pups for sale. I did extensive research and im convinced Fujifilm colors is the best. the price of xs-10 is good for me. but xt-3 is also affordable. im most concern on who can give better photos of my dogs. xt-3 reviews are very impressive. but is it appropriate for me? Sample photos taken by xt-3 are likewise impressive, but is it hard for a beginner like me to take same quality photos? i want to go for xt-3 but im afraid those impressive sample photos by xt3 are only be possible for pros. or will i have to go through same learning process if i'll get the xs10?

[@wilfredodominguezjr.6353]

oh i forgot to tell you, i think i'll be shooting mostly handheld. and i dont think i will learn post upgrading. so i will not shoot raw, only straight out of the cam or what you called jpeg

The reason I bought the S-10 was that I got it for $900 Australian with aliens in almost new condition. I could not knock that back it just allows me to get into the Fuji system. I’m just gonna have a play with this camera. I’m a semi professional shooter with two big NikonD 8 50s. They are my best work horses that will do with the majority of work that I do but I bought this camera not to add to my working collection I bought this little camera just have fun with just to go out and shoot and not care about what they photos look like. That’s why I bought this camera and I think I made the right choice I looked at the XT4 but then it kind of felt like I was buying another workhorse …

@@ThomasBusbyPhotography it's funny because when I'm looking at the camera I look at the sensor first. It's actually the very first thing I look at before I buy a camera is what is the sensor like.

But I really hate taking photos in the rain. I don't like going out in the rain for anything really nonetheless Photography even I don't like photographing in the rain. So it was a rather simple decision. If these two cameras are very similar in many ways and have exactly the same sensor, which means I will get the same photos then why would I pay morning money for a bigger bulkier camera if I don't go out in the rain. I'm sure the S 10 can take a tiny bit of moisture on top of the camera. So it was a no-brainer as they say. Sensor is King in cameras yet many people do not look at what sensor the camera has and that is the first thing I look at.
