Fujifilm X-S10 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)

The Fujifilm X-S10 represents a new branch in the X-series, delivering the power and quality of the X-T series, but with a more approachable control system. So it’s out with the retro-styled shutter dial and in with a more common PASM mode control which, while lacking vintage charm, may prove easier...

I think that the Fuji X-S10 is a very attractive camera. When I was first told about it, I was expecting to hear that it has a standard Bayer-pattern sensor and a polycarbonate body, but Fujifilm has pulled out the stops to make a small camera that will appeal to a wide range of photographers.

  In-body image stabilisation, Vari-angle touchscreen

The Fujifilm X-S10 has more 'consumer' controls than the higher-level X-series cameras, but its build quality and handling stand out straight away. The swap to a conventional mode dial might disappoint Fujifilm fans, but the excellent finish, build quality and handling and the inclusion of IBIS...

MANILA -- Fujifilm recently unveiled its newest mirrorless camera in its mid-price range. Dubbed the X-S10, it sports power-packed features that have been pioneered in its more expensive siblings.

The Fujifilm X-S10 is shaping up to be one of the best small, mid-range mirrorless cameras you can buy. It packs much of the Fujifilm X-T4's shooting power into smaller body with IBIS and great handling.

After a few days with the X-S10 I'm pleased with the purchase but its taking a lot of getting used to - after the last few years with Fuji X series many things just work differently - some better some worse and others just different.

The XS10 is my third Fujifilm camera (I also have an XT2 and an XT100F) and I particularly wanted it to go with my 16-55 zoom lens which doesn't have image stabilisation. (Since the 15-45 lens was only another £50, I thought I may as well buy it together with that rather than just body only.

After several years now with my good and trusty Panasonic FZ1000 I wanted a system camera once again (having ditched my Canon 5Dm2 plus gear 5 years ago) to have a better sensor and also choices re. the lenses.
