Fujifilm X-S10 Review

My review of the Fujifilm X-S10 camera. Mostly my thoughts after using for three weeks. Features, ergonomics, what I loved, what I didn't like, sample images, and a review of the camera. Fujifilm X-S10 is here: geni.us/Vw15h4X. ALSO: When talking about XT3 being about the same price, I am assuming a used copy. Newer XT3s are still more expensive.

[@warricksmith5178]

Very good and balanced review. I got my X-S10 back in January, after spending a lot of time evaluating options, including the X-T3 and X-T4. I would also have preferred the “traditional” (non-PASM) dials, but I quickly adapted. When comparing with the X-T3, important to recognize the big value-adds of both IBIS and the flippy screen, as well as the smaller profile and weight. When comparing with the X-T4, for me the smaller profile and much lower price for 90% of the features outweighed the battery and twin SD card question. As usual, trade-offs are involved, taking into account use cases and as well as subjective preferences. On one detail you raised as a concern for you: the focus point can be re-centered by simply pressing the “Back” button next to the screen - no need to go into menus or manually move the point via the toggle.

[@kingsamvisuals]

You can also press in the joystick

[@PalavraVivaUSA]

I had the XT-4 and sold because of the size.. seems like the xs10 is a no brainer

[@simonwarren36]

Being used to my dust and weather sealed Pentax kit I pondered for a long time over the choice between the weather sealed X-T4 and the unsealed X-S10 before deciding the X-S10 fitted my hand so much better. I was pleased to see Chris mentioning using the camera so much on sandy beaches without any worries; he obviously has confidence that it can stand up to it.

[@cvbattum]

What I really like about Fuji, and what they completed by introducing this camera, is that they offer about four different shooting experiences with almost the exact same technology. And you just get to choose what you like best. DSLR-style: go for the xs10. Retro-SLR style: xt4. Rangefinder ILC: xe4. Rangefinder fixed: x100v. And there's just tiny compromises with each model because they use the same image processing technology. It's a great approach.

[@StarlordStavanger]

I really wish the X-S10 grip was on the X-T4 so badly.

[@hasenmyer]

I LOVE the X-S10. It is quickly becoming my favorite camera. The only three things I don't like 1. battery size 2. The exposure compensation dial won't lock and I constantly bump it 3. Weird exposure fluctuations while on auto ISO. Honestly though I bought it because of the deeper grip, size and lack of dials, it had a similar layout that I'm accustom too with other camera systems. I gravitate towards this camera more than my MUCH more expensive full frame setups.

[@FullTimeRookiee]

The zeal and joy in this video is just amazing. I love your personality. You earned a sub. Keep up the great work.

[@dundas45]

Excellent review. You made me fall in love with my XT 3 all over again and with XT 4's a little hard to find these days I think I will be using it for awhile.

[@gohbyname]

Informative and honest as usual! Thanks Chris. As you say, it's horses for courses. I'm not a pro. As an enthusiast, my weapon of choice is the XT4. However, I got this as my second camera so that I don't have to change lenses all the time. It is so light, I don't even notice it on my black rapid street. For the times I reach for it, the battery life is not an issue. Bonus, there is no difference in image quality.

[@jerrybonvisuto2380]

Great Video Chris as always and Great Job as always - You have one of the best teaching styles on KZbin for cameras - Short and to the point - I cannot tell you how much I have learn from you over the past few week since I discovered your channel - Having the Xt3 and Xt30 and the xt4 on order , I am really enjoying using the 2 Fuji camera I have - Since I shoot alot of bird Photography - Thanks again for providing such a great and information education for me

[@123wmwe6]

Your reviews are so good man, you always answer everything i needed to know. Thank you!

[@_frelih_]

At last! Really great, honest and no BS review! After 20+ yrs in photography, I stopped few years ago. I have sold all my Fuji gear (xt3+lenses) and found that I am free of all the customers related problems. 😂😂 And now, I have decided to go back (wife sad that I'm grumpy without camera) and called my fujifilm supplier. X-T4 is too much for me, but this little nifty Xs10 was giving me some thoughts and after your review I have take a decision! Thank you for that! Cheers from Slovenia!

[@bunmeng007]

This is why I respect Chris. This is a balanced review without getting too emotional and bashing the XS10 and calling Fuji selling its soul. I share the same sentiment with Chris that the retro dial is what I love about my XT4 which the most important reason that I choose Fuji.

[@pal2tech]

Thank you!

[@lucadcphoto]

Great review, been a fan on you since I bought my X-S10 back in April! Keep up the great work.

[@primal_aperture_photo]

Thank you for the review! You made very fair points about the camera. I for one being a newbie to Fuji and to mirrorless cameras in general love my XS10. It meets my needs at the moment, there may or may not be a time when I will want something better, but for now, this little camera blows my mind! :)

[@stevechan5569]

Thanks again for another great, informative, and candid review. I really enjoyed it and look forward to more of your future reviews. I have been a very long time (from 1976 to 2018) Nikon slr and dslr shooter and remains to be an advance amateur at best. Never feel comfortable with Nikon dslr and eventually switched to Canon mirrorless. While I am quite happy with the Canon mirrorless, but I always missed the old Nikon film camera retro control feel. I am always aware of the Fujifilm brand and I decided to get it as a second camera all because I watched a lot of your Fujifilm KZbin video as I honestly believe you have done all the heavy lifting for me. I was considering the X-T3/X-T4 vs the X-S10 and they all have one thing in common: NOT MADE IN JAPAN. This is a deal breaker for me; I will buy one made in Japan if I buy a Japanese camera or car like the Canon R6 which is made in Japan. For this reason, I ended up having the least expansive one out of the three, X-S10. Unfortunately, after placing the order 3 weeks ago, it has yet to come because of big demand or short supply? If I end up liking it, I will wait for the X-H2 which should be made in Japan, I hope! Above is all personal thoughts.

[@marcbruinsma2777]

I own an XT3 and I took the XS-10 as a second lighter end cheaper body sharing the same batteries and optics while bringing XT4 like video features in a light and compact body. I indeed assigned the focus mode to the button next to the viewfinder. It is not weather sealed but I rarely shoot in the rain. I realy enjoy this combo.

[@TheSshadow7]

I have the x-t4 and x-s10. I love having both because sometimes I just want to use a smaller camera. The x-s10 is a lot easier to just grab and go.

[@happyhouse2815]

Simple is the best 😍

[@JiiruKoga]

Just saw this now, and the grip looks amazing.

[@markcashman2933]

I have the x-s10 and love it I am a beginner to photography and love its compact size

[@averythingcreative]

Great review on this camera! I actually think this video was ultimately what made me go with with the X-S10. I’m new to Fuji so I’m very happy with it’s performance especially at it’s price range.

[@ChowDownDetroit]

Probably the best review for this camera i have seen on KZbin!

[@alfrede.neumann5044]

I really love your reviews and am a big fan of your channel - and a X-S10-user! I love that camera because it is small and full of advanced technology - and I also struggel with the missing feature of recentring the focus. So I turned to the great people of the Fuji Support in Germany and they also confirmed that the feature is missing on the X-S10. However, when you move the joy stick and then press Disp/Back the focus is recentrallized back again. Not the feature we all love from the other Fuji Xs but you can get use to it. Keep on your great job!

[@ronmasters751]

Always shot Aperture priority before, started that way with the PASM dial here. Soon moved to manual exposure with front-dial aperture, rear-dial shutter, joystick ISO, viewfinder histogram & peaking-big improvement! I see the point of an ISO dial, but I like having all the exposure controls in my right fingers.

[@supersizejm]

Great review! I didn't know about the double click trick for my XT3. Thanks!!

[@rogerdunn5988]

Yet another excellent video. Plenty of info and a nicely animated presentation. Keep them coming.

[@pal2tech]

Much appreciated!

[@jalmuddd]

Great review! One comment: to re-center the focus, you can move the joystick then press the BACK button.

[@pal2tech]

Good call!

[@lucadcphoto]

Thank you, just learned it.

[@aitorromeroprados8498]

Hey Joe. I love you

[@JULIENVANCAMP]

Thanks for the tip Joe, works great!

[@dpicardi23]

It was a great review...but of course you could do this. It’s a software thing and ever since the first X camera Fuji has allowed people incredible customization options to make their camera and their menu exactly as they’d like it. The reviewer should do an overlay to correct this area of the review.

[@dennisg1045]

Great review. Am getting this for my son and his family, mainly to enhance the videos. I am 70 and remember the old style rangefinder cameras and loved them. If I were to get a camera for myself, it would be the XT4, like the retro feel.

[@robert_roberts]

I have this camera for almost a year with the 16-80mm kit lens and I absolutely love to use ❤️ It literally makes me want to take pictures every day 📸✌️

[@gracienlebel4824]

Great review thank you very much Omar! I am about to buy this fujifilm X-S10!

[@mehguy13]

They also removed the focus mode switch on the X-E4. I really hope it's not a trend, I love the switch and I can't think of buying a new Fuji camera without it.

[@bernie8178]

I love the X-E series of cameras, the removal of the focus mode switch and the back dial (the one you can click to zoom in to focus) are deal breakers for me. When my X-E1 goes I’ll aim for an X-E3.

[@ChrisWalker-fq7kf]

Great review, definitely convinced me that this is a camera I need to look at. I've never been attracted to the the Fuji retro aesthetic and I like cameras to have a good grip. But as you say, other manufacturers are neglecting APS-C and trying to force us all to FF and I'm not sure I want to go there. This product is a smart move by Fuji.

[@DigiDriftZone]

I upgraded from an X-T3 to this and I *love* this camera. The PASM dial is just quicker to use without fiddling with the top dials on the X-T3. I wish other fuji cameras had it! - and the IBIS is game changing for video. I agree about the focus dial though, I set it up to be swipe up for focus mode and swipe left for changing the focus options for the selected more, it's not as good as a dial but it's good enough. I prefer this to the X-T4 except for the battery life.

[@ArthurLevonyanEarthman]

Recently thought about x-s10 (now I’m using x-t3) and I’m glad that watched this video before my decision. Focus mode button and double tap on joystick is important for me too. Thanks for video 🤝

[@johnnydee7480]

I love my x-s10. I agree with the missing dial. My favorite feature of this camera is the focus tracking! It works out fantastic! Fuji, please add it to the video section and then add it to the x100v. Great review, Pal!

[@KarolLubiejewski]

To center the focus point you just press DISP button once :) I like your review Chris (and I like all your videos, I learned most about my X-S10 from your channel , even if you rarely/never referred to this camera model) and I like my X-S10 a lot. I believe the reason for most of the complaints (not yours particularly but in general in other reviews) is because reviewers compare it directly to the X-T4,/T3 and I mean software and ergonomics here because when speaking about hardware differences, there is no doubts that X-T4 is more advanced and X-T3 is just different. Most of the settings/actions you set in X-T4/T3 you can also have in X-S10 but sometimes you just trigger them with different buttons combination and center the focus point is one of the examples. Moreover I can even see some button/dials advantages X-S10 has over his bigger predecessors once you understand what you expect and how to use them. Anyway, thank you very much for all your hard work and looking for more ;)

[@davegarth]

I own and really like both an X-S10 and an X-T4. I use the X-S10 more when I’m shooting casually for fun, and the X-T4 more (with an added grip) when I need weather resistance or I’m working on a tripod. Since I don’t change the film sim that often, I put the autofocus mode on the left unmarked dial. It really is just as quick and easy as the front mode switch on the X-T4. (The film sim control is now a swipe left on the screen.)

[@westerwaldmogli]

i love my x-s10! and thanks to all the people for pointing out the focuspoint recenter fix!

[@kiIIingxspree]

Ohhhh this is the review I've been looking for! I still can't make up my mind! I think I'm still leaning towards the xs10. Thankyou :)

[@TCinSoCal]

This is nuts.. only a few min in and see you’re going to where I grew up (coastal GA) and where I live now.. just north of Malibu. .. back to the video. Cheers!

[@irvin4019]

Thanks Pal2tech this made me pull the trigger as my first camera ever. I'm re watching even though I own it.

[@Wheelers_Den_Kyoto]

Thanks for a very informative and honest video. I'm considering an X-T4 vs the X-S10 as an upgrade from my X-T1. What I love about the X-T1 is that it is light and so easy to carry around as well as the traditional style dials on top. With the X-S10 it seems very portable and light but it doesn't have all of the traditional dials on top. However for me portability is really important (I usually take photos when cycling on long 100km+ with the camera slung over my shoulder) so I think I will go with the X-S10 and possilby the XC 50--230 just because that lens is so light. While I really love the looks and all the features of the X-T4 my impression when holding it was just too much of a step up in size and I probably wouldn't be throwing it on my shoulder as easily.

[@Sukesh22]

For anyone confused on which kit lens to choose,If portability and lightweight is the important factor choose 18-55.The extra reach of 16-80mm is not worth the extra weight and slower autofocus.After using 16-80mm for 2 months,I can definitely say it doesn't balance well with xs10 for daily carry,it is front heavy. As Chris said about the focus mode switch,I too feel the same way,despite not using xt3 or xt4.

[@xyzct]

Bless you for that. Very helpful info. Btw ... I thought he gave the 16-80 the thumbs down overall in a previous video.

[@pyotrpig]

I swaped my XH-1 for XS-10. IBIS+The Best Sensor+Price+Grip = ideal combination to me. I'm not a Fuji-guy so I'm absolutely OK with loosing the dials. Although I get what you mean - those dials really provide some unique shooting experience, I'm glad I had and tryed it on my XH-1, but I can't say I really miss it :-) My biggest concern with the XS-10 in comparison to XH-1 would probably be a smaller viewfinder. The one on the XH-1 felt premium indeed, it was a joy to use it.

[@icogicog8287]

All good points. Love the way you think. Totally agree that if one already has an XT4 and/or an XT3 sitting around there is no real sense in getting into this. Good to get into the system or as a second body mostly for photography.

[@Gadgetsu]

Revisiting this video for the billionth time and I think I'm gonna get one this summer as a secondary camera! I absolutely love my X-T3 but the lack of a flip screen and IBIS makes it really hard to shoot vlogs or film myself outside! I also wanted a b-cam for secondary angles or top-downs and this would be great for it as I wouldn't need 4k60! I really want the X-T4 but it's just way too expensive especially in Canada! So I think the X-S10 would be the perfect secondary camera to pair along with my X-T3! Gonna take some time getting used to the dials and the lack of the focus mode dial is gonna drive me nuts but I'm excited for it! Thanks Chris for another awesome video! 😁

[@davidletz9123]

I bought a used XT-2 a few months ago, and have no intention of buying a newer model. But I thought I'd watch this video anyway. I'm glad I did, because I did not know about the double-tap of focus joy stick to re-center the focus point! Thanks!!

[@mannatuu]

Thanks for a really honest review. I agree with you whole heartedly and so it will be a fuji tx4 or 3 for me . Fuji should not loose sight of the simplicity that people really want

[@Transterra55]

Excellent review! I watched several on the X-S10, and this is my favorite.....I have used Canon for almost 40 years, but I really look forward to buying a Fujifilm camera.

[@randomhumanstuff9417]

This is my first interchangeable lens camera. When deciding which fujifilm to get I chose the xs10 because I had no experience with the other cameras in the line up and realized that it being different would not bother me. My main interest being macro photography, I wanted the option of ibis available to me for those days when I drink too much coffee. Being on a tight budget, I can only afford manual focus lenses right now so the lack of the focus switch is a non issue for me. The only issue I have is that in mf I can't assign the front dial to iso. I see no reason I shouldn't be able to do that. The dial in question changes function in other modes, so I don't understand why it's a problem. Hopefully Fujifilm addresses it in the next update. I love this camera. Fujifilm has convinced me of their dedication to photography and photographers of all levels.

[@dougmapper3306]

I set up back-button focus (on the "AF ON" button) so that a press is "single," holding it down is "continuous" and if you don't press it at all you can manual focus with the lens ring. I set the ISO button to select the AF area/tracking and it might actually be faster to operate that way than the Fuji focus mode lever. My blank dial on the left is now ISO instead of film sim which is more in line with Fuji tradition as well, though you have to look at the screen because the dial is unlabeled. I think it also saves some battery life to not have it toggled to "continuous" all the time and instead have it active only when you're about to shoot. Turning OIS off on big lenses also helps with battery life on this model; with the IBIS you really don't need lens OIS unless you're over maybe 120mm or shooting exposures longer than the "reciprocal rule." It does look hilarious attached to the 100-400.

[@bongdeguzman5737]

I'm always here for "HAAAAAAAAVE A LOOK AT THIS!" haha the excitement is real!

[@reboundk1ng]

I had some thoughts on selling my xt-3 for an XS10, good thing I watched your video. Would have regretted it. Thanks, and great video as always!

[@damasovi_travels1244]

thanks for the review!! like it a lot!!

[@dominicsianez3409]

I gotta say, i would never buy a Fujifilm unless i wanted a fun camera but I can't stop watching these videos. He's just very interesting to watch and hes very talkative with his hands which makes it enjoyable to watch. Hes also just so informative in such an easy short way

[@anthonystonehouse]

Spot on review,. I got this after owning an XT3 but sold it and bought an XT4 after a month. The lack of focus switch, tiny battery and evf, poor shutter sound, and hissing IBIS, not to mention the pasm dial didn’t work for me as a long time Fuji user.

[@garethmcfarland7244]

Great video and love your enthusiasm. I own both the X-S10 and X-T3 and love them both however if I was only allowed to keep one I would keep the X-T3. I only shoot stills so I don't need the vlogging aspects of the X-S10 so purely on that basis I'd keep the X-T3. That being said, they have slightly different use cases for me and as a travel or 'leaving the house quickly' camera I will grab the X-S10 every time. I also customised as many buttons as I could do replicate my X-T3 layout as much as possible - the main one being changing the top left dial to change ISO which has been great for me.

[@phplaw]

Hi Chris, I am happy to see your new video ^^

[@carlosc.639]

Great video Chris! I’m such a fanboy, that I like every Fuji camera they release lol. Would love to know your thoughts on the X100 line-up

[@mattcero1]

Great review man! I'm hoping you have now or in the near future a review of Canon's M6 Mk ii. The absence of the M/A focus button is significant for me as well as short battery life.

[@lungjj2758]

I'm completely agree with all of your reviews of the x-s10. I just received mine 2 days ago. My use are mainly photography and not movies. For AF mode, I compensated for the lack of a focus mode setting button like the X-T3 offers by setting the AF button to MF/AF_S/AF_C focus mode. And the shutter is set to half-pressed AF with PRE-AF off.

[@ron3x]

Coming from 2 bodies of xt1 now im sure i need to go straight to xt4. Great review. Thanks!

[@OMGitsProvidence]

I got an xt3 last holiday cause the price was much better, with all the glowing reviews of the xs10 at the time I always wondered if I made a mistake. Thanks for this honest review because I love my xt3 and while I wish it had IBIS, it’s clearly a superior hybrid device to the xs10 for my taste

[@blakecamp5848]

Just bought this in August 2021 thanks for the review . Still getting used to the camera upgraded from XT-10

[@jimbean532]

I love the X-S10! And prefer it to my X-T4 (shocking!) I like the small size and weight, custom settings on the Or-pasm dial, and IBIS. My favorite walk around camera. (note: since I don’t do video, those concerns don’t apply) IMO, you are 100% correct about the click-to-center the focus point! However, the focus touch pad feature offsets that drawback. Thanks for your continuing fun and informative videos.

[@pal2tech]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jfanzeres]

I have an XS-10, only do photo and I´m thinking buy the XT-4, and keep the 2. Do you think it worth it having the 2 ? Thanks

[@antischiif182]

I love my X-S10 as a start to the Fuji world (after having the X20 a while ago) after switching from an entry Canon DSLR.

[@GlennHubbers]

I've been waiting for your review before deciding whether to pull the trigger on this one. I have the X-T3 for (mostly) stills and was thinking of the X-S10 for (mostly) video, primarily based on the fact that I would not have to get a new battery form factor. Based on your comments though it seems that getting the X-T4 might be the better choice for me and just dealing with having to carry two different batteries formats. I'm also partial to the weather sealing on the X-T4 anyway.

[@johnfirewire]

I have the XS10 and I'm sure I would prefer the XT4 a little bit more but for the money the XS10 is great. Also a little tip - you can assign ISO function to the knob that gives you the film simulations in essence giving you an ISO dial instead just like the XT4 but without markings. So I use the front and rear dials on the right to control aperture and shutter speed and I use the top dial on the left for ISO and everything's nice and manually controlled with the physical dials

[@shivkantsharma2059]

That's what I do👍

[@adrianobanak2824]

Great and honest review! It made me finally buy Fujifilm X-S10:)

[@brucecarroll6177]

To answer one of your issues, you can recenter the focus point with one push of the Disp-Back button!

[@Ebrospot]

Hello, I already own an S 10, regarding pressing the joystic twice, it is true, (activates the focus point type) but you can achieve the same effect to place the focus point once in the center when touching the screen in the center and the focus point will follow this command and immediately. In general, a great video, (as always) which cannot be otherwise, because the camera is great.

[@mindbomb2000]

Fantastic review!

[@joshuaruanes6526]

coming from a nikon user, i find x-s10 super easy to use and i didn't have to run around figuring things out. I think x-s10's goal is for photographers like me who got used to other systems such as nikon. And because of it i got curious how does it feel like to use a "classic" fujifilm camera where you have to manualy set the dials. If i could, i would buy myself an x-t4 next just so i can experience that "manual dial" thing. as always, great review, thank you!

[@spyhunter6411]

I am glad I didnt go this route when I consolidated my gear earlier this year. I sprung for an xt4 and I am very happy with it.

[@seibu1]

Great stuff as always! A video idea I’d LOVE for you to do someday would be a breakdown of Fuji’s camera lineup explaining the major differences between them and what they’re intended audience is supposed to be. Nothing super detailed just something like, “This is the XT-4: this is Fuji’s flagship APS-C body meant for pros, this is is the X100v, this is more of a street shooter, it’s mean to be a pocketable, carry around, daily camera. This is the XPro-3, etc, etc”. I sometimes get confused what all the different models are and why they exist, etc. Anyway, just a suggestion. Love the channel!

[@bobbygreen9106]

This right here is a good suggestion. I'm considering jumping ship from Sony because I'm tired of spending so much time in Lightroom and Fuji's jpegs are fantastic. But holy hell do they have a lot of models with desirable specs/traits scattered throughout. So hard to choose which one.

[@Indydi]

@@bobbygreen9106 I'm having the same problem, coming from Sony, but it's more an issue with liking so many. It's hard to pick out the best because there are so many great ones!

[@kanthu1931]

Another great video. Please make a video how to read Fujifilm histogram. It's quite diff from other videos of other cameras.

[@momentsof.photography]

THIS was the review I was looking for! Especially your conclusion at the end confirmed the feeling in my gut about the X-t4 and x-s10. Looking forwart to order a x-t4 in the near future! … although I wish it had the great grip of the x-s10! 😉

[@paololarocca7684]

Hello and thanks for the review, have you considered using the c1-c4 custom settings to change focus mode? because in that way you can change simultaneously the focus mode and the focus area, for example on my sony camera I am usually in single and spot, but I have programmed the c1 for portraits and there I have continuous and wide area, the c2 is for action and again with continuous and wide are...

[@MottiWolkenbruch]

I have one and I love it. I use it every day, mostly with the 16mm/1.4. I recommend it highly.

thanks for the review

[@jrod291]

Great review - thank you for not doing a video where it is just a commercial for Fuji

[@Janis91]

Decided to get the X-S10 as my first ILC. I had tried an X-T100 before and it was so uncomfortable to hold! I don't care about the dials, but the lack of a proper grip essentially ruled out every other Fujifilm camera.

[@redbones01]

Pretty much hit every bullet point that I have about this camera. That's why I decided to keep my X-T3 and go dual wield lol. Great review!

[@charlescarlson1290]

Great review! Thanks

[@showdaKOs]

I agree with you, the PASM dial can't replace the fuji dials. But, that said, the most "fun and underated" aspect of the XS10 is the custom settings on the PASM, you can dial in the mode you like (shutter, aperture, etc) with different ISO ranges and almost all settings (manual, auto, WB, focus mode etc) AND film simulations. That mean I can have 4 different film recipes and ways of shooting them (+ the other modes) on a dial, like : moody classic neg in full manual for street photo + golden hour classic chrome for portrait + fun achros for black an white + astia/provia for quick flash photo (with all those pesky flash pre-requisited options enabled). Ok, you can have more on the other fuji but if you have to go with the X-S10, they're really easy to access and a joy to use and change. the best hidden feature of the camera !

I purchased the X-S10 to upgrade from a iPhone 12 camera, thank you for your review, kudos.

[@bardofhighrenown]

As a new photographer, I went with the X-T3 because I liked that the exposure triangle was always visible to me. the PASM dials always are incredibly opaque to me. I'm not sure what I can/can't alter, what is locked off and what is automatically adjusted by the camera. I think it's actually more work and less helpful to learn a PASM dial than it is to learn the exposure triangle. I really wish the X-T3 had the in body stabilization though. Can't have everything I suppose.

[@jacsbill1981]

Recently bought an X-S10 as my first proper camera. I love it, although it's interesting, even though I've not used a proper camera before... I'd probably still prefer the X-T top dials as I've launched straight into using manual. I might upgrade at some point as it's not weather sealed, but I'm really happy with it (should note, I don't use video at all! my video button has been reassigned to RGB histogram!).

[@gvgates2010]

I bought the Fujifilm X-A7 about a year and a half ago. I just love it. I am wondering about what should be my next Fujifilm camera? Should I go to the XS-10 or the X-T4 or some other camera? Please keep up the good work as I enjoy your videos and find them very informative. Cheers

[@maxmac1545]

I had the xt3, a sony a7iii and a leica m9 and in my eyes the xs10 is the camera which i enjoyed the most und using now 100%.

[@ShutterFanatic]

I was so excited when this camera was announced. I bought it and it was a huge let down. I sent it back due to the dials and focus mode switch. They lock out the dial settings so you can’t configure like a Sony. Also has some bad autofocus in video mode but none of Fuji’s are top notch in this category. I am coming from a xt2 which is way better and cheaper given he used price on eBay (I did buy my xt2 New Years ago when first released). Good to see an honest review.

[@mixeddrinks8100]

I don't mind the lack of the top dial as much as the removal of the rear command dial wheel thingy. I use the two front and back dial too much to give it up. Sort of wish they kept with the XT30 design language put in ibis and move the Q button.

[@ZachariahConnor]

Mine is arriving today, very excited for it!

[@ZachariahConnor]

Update: it’s amazing. You should buy it :)

[@ZachariahConnor]

@Noé André the 18-55 f2.8

@Noé André wider aperture at 18mm

[@alanc6416]

I got my XT4 when this was released and I chose the XT4 finally because of a few simple things. First, 4K60, which I just keep on all the time. I’m not a videographer at all, but in 2020 having the option to crop and slow down the videos is great! Secondly, I like the dials better in the XT4, and thirdly, I just like the retro look of the XT4 better. Plus, I already have 5 lenses for the system, and adding this body isn’t a huge additional investment. I still wish Fuji releases a 1” sensor camera like the RX100VII. In that case I’ll just use that and the X100F. It’s the perfect combo for the casual shooter with high image quality demands. Until then, the XT4 is great.

[@JaymesMedia]

The X-S10 is my main photography camera, I rarely reach for my X-T4 when it comes to photos.

[@quite1enough]

Give X-T4 to me then ;)

[@JaymesMedia]

@@quite1enough 😂😂😂 I never said anything not using it for video.

[@bottledwaterprod]

Nice review. I can now say confidently that I'm fine sticking with my X-T30.

Dear Chris, agree to disagree since I own both and it s all about personnalisation which the xs10 offers and get used to it. At its price point not being able to shoot 4k 60fps is definitely not a deal breaker since I only shoot 4k 24 anyway and if I want slo-mo I have 240p. And you know what although I love my xt4 I find myself more oftem grabbing my xs10 for casual and street shooting in combinaison with my xf35 f2. Long story short it is for me a great a and b roll camera I am shooting most of my contents with 😊 and I am recommending it to everyone. Take care

[@somjio5775]

this is my first camera, great job supporting fuji pal

[@ovidiu-alexandruiftemie9386]

Hi! For re-center point of focus-points just pres "back" button. I hope it was hopefull.

[@pal2tech]

Missed that one, thanks! 👍

[@showdaKOs]

I didn't know that, thanks a lot man !

[@NJM1948]

Great video - and agree with your points......but, as a stills shooter most of those issues just don'tg apply! I don't see any difference in battery life over my X100V or my XT3 and the single card slot wasn't an issue as I never shoot video. So, take away the negatives that mostly show themselves when shooting video, this is a great camera for stills shooting and the IBIS is a real bonus

[@chinye107]

Agreed on choosing the X-T3 over X-S10 if price is almost the same. Losing the 4 directional buttons, no WR and smaller EVF is a no no but the grip on X-S10 is great!

[@ferrysandria2660]

Yes agree..the xs10 missing the usefull dial for focus mode..so take time for changing to go to menu screen

[@SeeSeeGeePro]

great energy and video! I love the grip on the XS10. Feels even better than the XH1. Would have been awesome if they somehow got the new battery from the XT4 in there. Heads up to anyone worried about the focus mode switch, the top left dial can be set to select AFS, AFC, or manual focus so you don't always have to dive into the menu. It's not as good as having that front switch, but works well enough IMO.

[@teamhazardous201]

Just what I wanted to hear. I ordered mine today. Love to customizability of it. Moving over to Fuji from Canon M50.
