Fujifilm X-S10 Show and Tell! My Full Review

[@madhats13]

Looking to move to mirrorless from my Nikon D7100. Was considering the Z50 or Z6 but... Gonna have to consider this and moving to the Fuji ecosystem.

[@danc3693]

Like both of you, I have the Nikon D7100 and looking to mirrorless, Fuji or not. For my purposes, I love my now old Nikon but I don’t shoot sports and the nature I shoot doesn’t involve fast moving creatures. I agree Nikon’s support of DX lenses isn’t great but I can make do with them and really, 4-5 lenses is the most I’ll ever need. I’d probably like a D7500. However, at age 61 with neck and shoulders not what they use to be, going small (mirrorless) is very appealing and Fuji has terrific lenses.

[@mortenthorpe]

Buy a now discounted X-T3... much better camera, bargain price, now below 1000 usd

[@dant1241]

I have switched from Nikon to Fujifilm. Could not be happier ! The colors, size, lens selection, looks ! You will not go wrong. The X-t3 for 999.00 is a great deal right now. There is a learning curve but that is kind of fun and engaging.

[@May-rz3kb]

Best review I've seen on this camera. Thank you!

[@dueroger]

I've been trying to decide between the X-S10 & the X-T4 and really liked how you focused on actually using this camera & why you liked it. You gave me a lot of good info to think about. I already have the Panasonic G95 with 5x lens, yet I seriously thinking of selling it & moving to Fuji.

[@dueroger]

I went ahead & purchased the Fuji X-S10 with the 5X zoom and like it so much better than the Panasonic G95!!!

[@KTValley590]

I am really happy Fuji do the deeper grip on this camera

[@morrieglick4137]

Thank you for another very informative & well made video. It is always enjoyable watching your productions. My question is: between the XT4 (or XT3 if you haven’t tried the 4) and the XS10, which you would prefer taking with you for non-professional outings? The XS10 seems capable enough for most situations. Would weather sealing be an important enough feature to choose the XT4?

[@berliozophile]

i grew up in Colorado, aspen glades are my most favorite refuges. I loved them growing up. And your images really took me back, and yeah, I bought a X-S10 recently and have been binging on what people's experiences with the camera have been like. You've convinced me I made the right decision.

[@johnwheat1542]

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

[@davidhenderson5051]

@@johnwheat1542 - I'm certain you will be disappointed John if you compare images from the X-S10 with your Nikon. Stick with full frame, Z6ii or Z7ii or wait for the followup to the Z50 if you want compact, due end of this year.

[@johnwheat1542]

@@davidhenderson5051 David, Thanks. I have no doubt you are right about that. I was already thinking that while the X-S10 looks very appealing on size, shooting experience and ergonomics, I would likely be disappointed in the images. I do a lot of landscape work where dynamic range and resolution are important. I am still in the market for a smaller, lighter travel set up to take when the D850 and its glass are just too heavy. I may get the Z5 & Z 24-200mm for that. But, I’m still keeping the D850. The images are just too gorgeous - as you indicated. I think that camera has probably spoiled me on IQ. Again, thanks for the comment and “talking me back into reality.” :-) Best, John

FujiFilm adding IBIS has been a game changer for me -- the X-S10 body looks extremely promising for me -- but interested in your analysis of that 16-80mm lens -- just not sure whether it is worth the extra $500 to purchase that bundle over the body alone. Thanks!

I was about to get the Z50 when this came out. The IBIS and film simulations are indeed game changers

I am so glad that I spotted your review. I am so glad that Fujifilm is still listening. I want one and agree that I feel a connection to the spirit of the new move. I bought the X100V based on your experiences shared here. Thank you for your wonderful posts.

[@digitalspecter]

I want a deeper grip and occasionally something that isn't so far provided by Fuji's classic control scheme: custom modes. Usually I shoot leisurely and deliberately and I appreciate Fuji's classic controls but when I'm shooting something that needs quick reaction times I welcome the option to have quickly selectable custom modes :)

[@brucesmith9144]

I like how you put this camera into the perspective it fits in. It is not a camera which competes with the top-tier cameras, and yet sadly, many people will expect it to be. But it has great features, is easily affordable by a great many people and will take great pictures. My only regret was not waiting a few months longer for it as I bought an X-T30, but that is a great camera as well.

[@danc3693]

Well said. It is an APS-C format which doesn’t seem to be quite the “thing” it use to be. As a Nikon D7100 who is happy with his camera EXCEPT really wants/needs the size and weight of mirrorless, this Fuji looks nice and at a competitive price point. My biggest issue with Fuji is being limited to only Fuji lenses and their price point.

[@RobShootPhotos]

This makes sense since the X-T200 has very similar controls. Some have bought into the lenses and now want a higher end body but with very familiar layout that the higher end X-T don't have.

[@LesterEverett]

Thank you for a fine review. Does the X-S10 include focus stacking and bracketing?

[@danythomas9913]

At the same price, is the X-S10 or the X -T3 the better buy ?

[@Red-xz1gk]

Fuji’s middle line products offers the best value. If I planned to buy this camera., I would wait 9 months when the used market price drops to around $700 and buy a lightly used one in excellent condition. Of course, if you are in a hurry to try something new or need a new camera immediately, then it’s a different story.

[@amitk1187]

Hi what do you think, fuji xt3 or fuji xs10 or nikon z50, only for photography, and i shoot only jpeg.

[@adamwhittingham86]

X-S10. Ibis helps with low light and slower shutter speed photography while hand holding and fujis jpeg simulations are great.

[@AcidicDelusion]

Fuji , Thier jpegs are 🔥

[@patrick.771]

Fuji if you plan to add more lenses in future. Fuji if you shoot only JPEG and like the Fuji colors (look at sample images at dpreview or flickr). Nikon if price is important and the (very good) kit lenses can give you what you need. Nikon if you already have some good F-mount lenses. Nikon if you prefer more "punchy" colors. Nikon for landscape, Fuji for street. I would go into a camera store and try the cameras there. You will immediately see which camera you like most. IBIS can help a lot to shoot with very low shutter speeds hand holding - but the in-lens-stabilization of the Z lenses is also good. I personally wouldn't buy the X-T3 because of the horrible grip. But everyone has different hands and preferences ... I moved from Nikon to Fuji, still like Nikon more but they don't release the lenses I want for Z mount.

[@amitk1187]

[@philippstyles2879]

Why did they send the camera back? i am satisfied with the camera Fufjifilm x-s10?

[@SideshowBob44]

This seems like it's more geared towards video, maybe that's why they removed the dials as a video user would not use them necessarily.

[@alexanderhetzel8271]

And then they make the custom settings on the mode dial only work for stills. But I guess that can be fixed with a firmware update.

[@nilshenkel9145]

This seems to be the perfect next camera for me. I'm a Panasonic MFT user and I strongly consider leaving the system with Olympus selling out and Panasonic focusing on FF. I don't think the switch from the G9 to this would be difficult. Any thoughts? Plus it would pair great with an X110VI...

[@bradl2636]

Because Fuji totally needs another potpourri camera name. Thanks for the video. PASM not a deal breaker for me. I prefer a larger less noisy sensor and high dynamic range. Correctly exposing highlights (even slightly under exposing) in low light with enough detail left to pull from shadows is vital to me and in this regard Sony wins when factoring in AF performance and range of glass options.

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

I have had my eye on Fuji cameras for a while, but have not been able to end up with an X-T3/X-T4 yet. I am wanting to make videos as well as photography, and my current camera doesn't have an input for an external mic... I am thinking that this camera, with the 18-55 would be a perfect way into the Fuji X system... not to mention Sigma/Tamron don't seem to be making K-mount lenses much anymore, and the Pentax 70-200/2.8 is a bit more pricey ...lol. Do you think the kit lens would be good for video, general photos and snapshots, and also make at least decent portraits until I can get something with a wider aperture? I'd love the 50-140/2.8, and possibly a teleconverter for it eventually. First would likely be the 56mm, then the longer zoom, then the fast 16mm and 35mm primes... do you think amy of the above would work for macro-ish closeups of painted miniatures...? They're fairly detailed little gaming figures in the ramge of 1 to 2 inches tall... Lastly, for outings like camping, or day trips, or sports events that are all day/weekend, would you suggest getting a couple extra batteries and a separate charger? Can't fathom for a $1400 camera/lens kit that they make you buy the charger separately... Thanks for the video, hope to check out more of your channel soon...

[@jberenden]

Great review, thank you. This was exactly the camera I was looking (waiting) for. I am going to pre order it. I am still in doubt whether I should order it with the 18-55 f2.8-4 or the 16-80 f4 lens. What are your thoughts? Do you have any preference?

[@YCCCC1]

[@Edmonotone]

I have used both lenses on an XE3 and XT3. although I have used the 18-55mm and loved it for many years, I now have the 16-80mm almost always on either of my cameras and sold the 18-55mm, in spite of being smaller, lighter and having a 2.8-4 f. Personal choice, image quality, better stabilization, versatility (including being able to get much closer to the subject).

I would stay with the 18-55 as it is a faster lease and a little sharper. If you need the extra reach get a Vitoria 85mm F1.8. You can get a 18-55 pre owned plus the Viltrox 85 mkII for the same price as the 16-80.

Did you try the camera with bigger lenses such as the 100-400mm? I wonder if the spacing works out with the grip on such a small body.

Good question! I did not use it with any Fuji lenses but I did use it with an adapter and my Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 F mount lens. I didn't even think about spacing/ergonomics while doing it, which tells me the answer... It's good!

[@mortenthorpe]

@@LeighAndRaymond which adapter lets you control the aperture on the 200-500? As far as I know, because I have that lens also, that lens is electronically controlled aperture, and as far as I’ve seen, there are no electrically connected adapters for Nikon F on Fuji X

@@patrick.771 the Z50 has 2 native lens with cheap plastic mounts. Also both are pretty slow (f3.5-6.3 on the 16-50 and f4.5-6.3 on the 50-300), so low light pictures and videos will be hard. I'd take the X-S10 with the 18-55 f2.8-4 over the Z50 dual lens kit. Both kits the same price down under.

[@problemat1que]

IBIS supporting lower shutter speed is more useful than it sounds. If you want to increase depth of field, or show movement, IBIS gives you more creative options without a tripod, and keeping the ISO low for high quality images. In-lens optical image stabilization cannot compensate for camera shake that rotates the camera along the symmetry axis of the lens.

Hi Leigh, I just bought my X-S10 and am deciding for a travel lens. In the video you mentioned the 16-80 f4, but I've seen the 18-135 and it gives a bit better zoom. Yes, it is a bit heavier, yes it is f5.6 at 135mm, but on the other hand the 16-80 has f4 at 16mm (as opposed to my current kit lens 18-55 where I have f2.8 at 18mm).

Weather sealing, better view finder, dual card slots for the XT, the SX10 gets points for IBIS and AF and I think more film simulations (part of that could be patched for the XT3, not sure). Then there is of course the different control scheme, bigger grip on the XS10 but smaller body and the different screen, those depend more on what you prefer.

Thank you for a great review SnapChick! Got this camera with the 16-80mm to get into the Fujifilm system and also use my "old" Canon EF compatible lenses with a Fringer adapter. It works wonderfully and I am very and happily surprised.

[@ThomasPoscharsky]

Did the adapted lenses work well with the IBIS?

Hi, great well thought out review. I'm really trying to find one bit of information that every review seems to have missed. How are the pre amps for audio recording? I loved my XT100 but it was useless for video as the audio sounded like you were recording with a chorus of hissing adders. Any information much appreciated :)

[@LeighAndRaymond]

Hi! I've seen your videos before so it's funny to see a comment from you here! To your question, I've never used the audio straight out of nearly any camera because it's usually not very good. I always use an external mic. I did go back and check a couple videos from this camera to make sure, and it seems like the audio straight out of the camera is decent, but it's definitely not completely clean. Luckily, this camera has a mic jack. :)

[@Astrolavista]

@@LeighAndRaymond No way, what a small world! :) I much appreciate the time you took to go back and check, that's very kind of you :) I never really use the inbuilt mic's on cameras either, well apart from my Go Pro which sounds ok. I used my XT100 for content creation and stills, but sold it due to the camera pre amps that drove my lav or shotgun mic being very hissy, even with the DB gain set really low. I've short listed the XS10 as it looks like a really fantastic hybrid camera, I just hope they used better pre amps. Don't judge me but I'm actually considering something like the Canon XA11 for content creation. XLR audio ports and IR night vision plus 20x optical zoom...not exactly in vogue though lol Anyway, I enjoy your reviews and appreciate the reply :)

Love your simple and honest review. Thank you

[@eldad6401]

Thank you for the quality information you provide. Need your help in my deliberation on choosing an additional camera body for my lumix g9. Looking for the short term and debating between the sony a7c and fuji xs10

[@virtualbot5580]

This or a6400, which one should I go for?

[@WanderingWolf365]

If you like to post process and shoot more photography than video, the a6400. If you don't like post processing and shoot more photography than video, the xt3. If you do more video than photography, the XS10. - WW (Wandering Wolf)

[@mortenthorpe]

Easy... Sony has insanely bad ergonomics... god for the Fuji !

[@angeloregina]

Is this camera better then Nikon z50? For sure it has a fully articulated screen. Something that Nikon is not doing. Taking risks reaching out their base customers.

[@LeighAndRaymond]

Neither is better for every person. They are both great options, but it will largely be personal preference, like what lenses you already have, what specs are the deal-breakers for you, etc.

@@LeighAndRaymond love you , but hate these types of replies/answers... be brave, be honest, and never afraid to hurt anyone’s feelings..

With my current camera with its PASM dial, I always get confused for which dial does what in each mode (aperture vs shutter speed, changes depending on the mode you're in) and the direction in which to turn the dial still confuses me from time to time. Then on top of that, the dial on the back used for ISO also doubles for setting shutterspeed (in addition to the top dial for shutterspeed) further confusing the controls I think that I'll like the more traditional control scheme that Fujifilm has on its XT-series cameras better, as you hopefully get used to just knowing which dial does what! (Well, except when you put it in the 'C' position of course that turns control back to one of the flexible command dials for the positions that they couldn't print on the main dial... There goes your muscle memory)

[@sichiamogabor]

Thank you for this awesome and detailed review! I'm just planning to buy a camera, but I'm still hesitating. I don't know which one would be the best for landscape, travel and street photography from X-S10, XT30 M2, Nikon Z50 or maybe Sony A6400? Which one would you recommend in terms of image quality and low light performance and focus accuracy for the above mentioned styles/modes? Thank you so much for your answers and help! 😀✌️

[@simonwhite5492]

Did you find that there was enough space between the grip and the 16-80, it looks quite tight

[@bk8pa323]

Approximately 2 meters of gap

[@Mecrendow]

Thank you for the great review! :) I cant decide on choosing the X-T3 or the X-S10

[@airingcupboard]

This is a truly excellent review. Very engaging.

[@problemat1que]

Next time you want to process raws of a new camera, just change the EXIF information to an older model with the same sensor. exiftool can do it as a batch operation.

[@megiMove]

You just made me wanna buy it !! What lens do u recommend for allrounder?

[@renithrangaraju]

you words really inspired, your expressions too.

[@Douken]

lol

[@ebouwens]

I always enjoy your thoughtful reviews. What was that beautiful adapted manual lens you used?

[@dodgy1954]

Good and informative review thank you. How do you feel about the EVF compared with the one on the XT3 and XT4?

[@levunit2265]

Yet another amazing review...thank you. What I want to ask is where would you place it in respect of the XH1 and XT3? I rely heavily on my XT3 when I am out doing landscape photography, however, my XH1 doesn't get much action at all...I just don't seem to get on with it. I am considering letting my XH1 go and replacing it with the XS10, what do you think? Again, thanks for the amazing content :)...I don't suppose you know when it will hit the shops for sale do you? Thanks.

[@LeighAndRaymond]

The X-S10 is really a mix of the two cameras. You obviously like Fuji, so I think you'll like this camera, but definitely try to get it in your hands to try it out. Also, they start shipping mid-month. :)

[@dougmorato]

Beautiful shots here and quite detailed review. Thanks and well done!

[@totoroutes5389]

Are you going to review the new Nikon Z6ii ?

[@AdventureswithWillem]

at 240 fps do you have focus and sound?

[@mortenthorpe]

Having a PASM dial is insanely bad.. I have both - that dial on my Nikon dslrs, and the Fuji dials on my Fuji’s... the pasm dial is never touched on the Nikon’s, making that dial an absolute waste of space, at a top panel placement where space is at a premium.

[@jre617]

Not so sure there are "no bad cameras" out there. Sony managed to suck the life out of photography for me. One thing you didn't mention was EVF quality. I'm worried it's too small or resolution is too low. For me, 3.69m dots - or whatever, is the minimum, but that's not available in this price range.
