Is The Fujifilm XF10 worth it as an every day carry camera? 

Minor correction in this video! There IS a touchscreen on this camera - I just think I had it turned off 😅 sorry for the confusion. What do you think of this little camera?? Are there any other Fuji cameras you'd recommend?

Finally someone is showing pic out of Camera.... most of YT video are only showing post editing :( why??????

I've got that camera since a few years now. It's definitely not for everyone, but I just love it! The image, the colors are so beautiful and really help me so much in capturing the spirit of a place or moment.

I loved my XF10. Never had a problem with autofocus and it took great photos.

I’ve been using the XF10 for several years. The Ricoh GR is the only real equivalent in terms of size and performance. It’s a powerful little camera and for street photography the XF10 attracts no more attention than a smartphone but has a far larger sensor. It’s old, slow and quirky, but it’s with me everywhere I go and i get great results from it. If your expectations are too high, you’ll probably be disappointed. It’s replacement, for me, will be the X100V which is bigger, better and we’ll over three times more expensive. For now, the XF10 will continue to be my daily user.

This little camera actually looks really good! It's good that there's something out there that could give the end user an experience that is kinda close to the X100 series, but for a lot less money!

I am so glad that you finally got a chance to review this camera. I have owned this camera for about two years now, and I have enjoyed it immensely. You do have to navigate your way through the menus with the joystick, but there are numerous touch functions available within the camera. It does have both a touch shutter and a touch. focus function. There are slide function.s available with the scammer. also. If you have not had the chance to do so, yet, you may want to take a look at the Fuji guys. Top function video which discusses the camera and its functions. I think you might enjoy it. 😊

Yay! I am so glad you made it over to my camp - Fujifilm! I have so many to recommend but based on how I see your photography habits to be, you may want to pick up an older x-e2 with a nice ios lens (since no stabe in the body). I personally own that and it's my EDC. On holiday, I bring along the x-t30ii which is a superb, more advanced x-trans sensor, tiny and cute! It has an on-board flash and the manual controls. I I have had my hands on almost every Fuji camera apart from the XF-10 (but I almost bought it!) I have to have a viewfinder. Another small Fuji camera that might be interesting for you is the x-70. It's the most similar to the XF-10. However, those older point and shoot cameras are known for slow AF. If you can find the x-t30 ii or if you're willing to go larger and pick up the x-pro 2, you've got a good bargain in fantastic autofocus, small camera in APS-C format! As an aside, I use my x-e2 with jpg film recipes but I only shoot raw on my other x cameras, e.g. x-t4, xh2s.

First off-- I have truly enjoyed the whole tiny camera series and I really think it will help your viewers get out more and enjoy simple fun shooting. I, for one, got my Olympus E-pl7 out of the camera closet and have been using for the first time in YEARS! I think I would be less likely to go so far afield from my MFT base though as something like this Fuji. I understand there are very usable compacts like this that yield good results,,,but I sort of cling to a few of my favorite lenses,, The Pana-Leica 15mm 1.7 as a for instance. I bought both the Olympus and the Panny 14-42 power zooms to test out on the e-PL7 and my GM-1 ,,and both are good...but not the 15 1.7 good.. Plus ,,after all my investment in MFT,, I have to ask how much benefit does adding another system/brand bring..? I wouldn't blame anybody for jumping around...find what works best by all means!..Just my thoughts,, your mileage may vary,,yadda yadda. BTW--adding a VF-4 viewfinder to the Olympus e-PL series is a game changer. -Keep shooting Emily--We'll be watching!

I have an XF10 and yes I bought it because I couldn't afford a Ricoh. I used it alot when I first bought it but I have a Fiji X100V and a GX9 both of which I prefer. I have thought about selling it but holding it and occasionally shooting especially when I need something smaller and wider still gives me joy. It's the gold one and yes it's loads sexier than the black one!

I own a XF10 as well, it takes beautiful pictures. compared to my other cameras the autofocus is a bit slow, but still very usable for me. I don't use it for fast action. The focallength is very useable for a city trip or a naturewalk. I actually like the snapshot mode, but just like you said, on a sunny day. But it does have a touchscreen, perhaps yours is broken or deactivated. You can select a focuspoint, or you can select a focuspoint and it takes a photo immediately. I also has some functionmodes by swiping, like for flash, metering etc.

I picked up both colour variants in used like new condition in Thailand where I live for the equivalent of GBP 384 total. Sold the tan/champagne version in your video to MPB UK in the summer for GBP 385 and kept the black one which now effectively cost me nothing. It's always with me in my small Chrome Ziptop Sling and in my sunny climate with the correct focussing method it delivers on quality for discrete street photography.

I came here to correct you re the touchscreen, but I see you've already done that below. The XF10 is superb imo, the colours are great, and tho its the Bayer sensor I just dial in an XTrans recipe, then play about with the WB to get a decent approximation of what its meant to look like. Usually works a treat. I have the XT30 and the Kodachrome 64 images out of the XF10 are p similar to what the XT30 produces. Have no idea why Fuji discontinued this line. Sales must have been the pits, as imo the XF10 still takes way better photos than a smartphone and is way more comfortable to use. Only thing I don't like about it is the detachable lens hood, would have been great if it had the inbuilt cover that slides open when you switch the camera on that the Ricoh GRs and Sony RX100s have. Great video as usual!

I use this for my edc, I always have it with me and the quality and portability is amazing. Also I love to bring it for hiking when I want to go light. Amazing camera

I wanted the smallest APS-C for an everyday camera... I think the smaller ones in history are the Fujifilm XF10 and the X70, I finally decided to get the X70 because of the flip-up screen and because a little cooler/hipster/retro look 😅😎... Recommendations/Ideas 💡: Two option I'm looking for is a zoom travel camera... My choices are the Sony F828, because of its zoom range and CCD sensor (vintage colors and soft images) and the Sony DSC-R1 also impressive zoom range, a little bulky but at least is all in "one piece" (no lens interchange) and APS-C sensor... You can test them and sell them afterwards at a very good price... 😜

I have it and it is a powerful little camera. And more than often I take it over the ricoh GRIII or my X100F. I have the black one more discret on the street, but I do like the one you have … really class

I left my nieces 7th birthday saturday, gave an old D70 to a friend of my cousins, liked the pics taken with my Tokina 10-16mm wide angle lens!she then gravitated towards my nieces Olympus omd em10 with the fun 7artisans 7.5mm wide angle lens!

Damn that's one of the most beautiful cameras I've ever seen. The gold with the brown is a dynamite combo

I have this camera and yea it is not perfect but that makes it a great value. It is 70-80% of Ricoh GR at less than half the price. It is truly a pocket camera which none of the other Fuji cameras are. My only issue is I prefer 35mm over 28mm but I am trying to use it more and it is great for street photos

Great overview of a nice Fuji pocket camera....I've got several others to consider: XQ2, XF1 (has unique pull-out lens to turn on, but get used to it very quickly...), and X30.....all take great pics I've found.

I also bought this camera half a year ago for 350€ on Ebay in Germany. I was super impressed with its image quality, which I needed quite some time to convince myself to sell it again. Reasons were: no zoom, no viewfinder, no tiltable display too big. I instead chose to buy an old xe1 and pair it with an ttartisans 27mm 2.8 and a Sony rx100 IV. The rx100IV only cost me 250€ and is perfect for hiking. At base iso the image quality was almost as good as the fuji xf10 and my a6400. At the same time it does have a viewfinde, tiltable display and zoom, 4k video and the nd filter I really dont want to miss in a compact camera. The xe1 is also a great camera for my streetphotography needs. The images look really good and have that film like touch sooc without any filmemulations, which I really like - oh and the sutttersound is straight up addicting.

Love that you keep the funny faces in the video 😁

I bought one several years ago for £350 brand new on Amazon. I note that it’s going for a lot more than that now secondhand. I won’t be selling it though, even though I have a Sony RX100 VII and several other high end Fuji cameras, including the X100V. Each time I use this little camera I’m amazed by the quality of the images, and apart from the slight inconvenience of a slow AF it’s a joy to use and carry. Thanks for the video 👍

My Fuji is the X-E3. I use it exclusively with vintage lenses. Those lenses combined with the X-Trans III cmos sensor make it ideal for that purpose. I always shoot in RAW. My 'pocketable' camera is very different. It's the Sigma DP2. It's slow. It's VERY slow. However, the Foveon sensor more than makes up for that handicap. I've been mangling photons since 1981 when I began my journey with a Russian Fed 3 rangefinder sporting a Jupiter 8 lens. The reason I'm telling you this is, in all that time I have never once been in a situation where I had to whip out my camera and quickly take a shot of something remarkable. In my opinion, that's simply marketing hype. (fast start-up, fast focus, etc.) Other opinions are available. Thanks for your informative and funny review. 🙂

I love the look from Fuji cameras ~

I've been keeping an eye on the used market for one of these for some time but the price remains quite high. I also dont see as many models of these for sale vs other cameras. It's a lovely little camera!

Good review 👍

I love all these little cameras - I use Nikon Z as my grown up kit. I have actually got to the point though where my everyday carry is actually my iPhone. I’ve got a 14 pro max and it is simply outstanding. And I do carry it everywhere so…

I had one of these and the IQ was amazing also uldate its firmware for much improved focusing

When looking at Fujifilm cameras, moreso than which camera it's more a case of which sensor.. A lot of people like the first and second generation xtrans sensors output the best although the newer sensors and cameras have better auto tracking etc My personal favourite Fujifilm is the x-t1 (2nd generation sensor) although the x-e2 also has that sensor if you prefer range finder style

I remember eyeballing this camera a number of years ago when fuji just discontinued it. Amazon in the US and many retailers were selling them new at $399. I really kick myself for not jumping on it... Great video as always.

Yay nice review, wonder if you can find a Coolpix A to compare against? Or maybe compare your Q against an X10/20/30 or even a Nikon 1 camera (something that will give your u4/3 AF a run for its money)

Emily, would you be willing to try the Nikon 1 J1 in your tiny camera series?

I have had X70's almost since they were launched in 2016. It is now old and tatty, cracked rear screen, etc. but she still delivers 100% perfect photos. I do not use Fuji recipe's I'd rather have a RAW image to play with in post. Flip screen & hotshoe, I do use both extensively mean I'll never change it for the XF10 even tough it has more pixels. I have tried the Ricoh GRIII and found it's controls confusing compared to the Fuji, however the hit rate from the Ricoh was almost 100% with street work. The X70 is a great little camera IF you can find one that is not over priced, demand is very high with many going for more than cost when new.

The colours are amazing, I wanted to get a Sony rx100 mark3 used, but this one looks really nice, but wow it is really not cheap. I got my PenF used for this price. Thanks for the review.

i have the xe3 love it so much, all the time use fujichrome velvia recipe. use it with TTartisan 27 mm f2.8 = 40 mm on FF. one big draw back that made me buy another pen f is the dust on the sensor, Jeddah is very dusty city, and i am spoilt by the no dust whatsoever in Olympus cameras. even Nikon z50 have this problem but a bit less than xe3.

I bought the camera and I really wanted to keep it but some things are really frustrating. The lack of ibis which cause very high iso when the sun is gone and the really slow af made me sale it. I didn’t find visible difference than my m43 cameras

It's pity that there isn't a m43 camera this small and thin. Then we can enjoy faster AF. I'm aware of GM1/GM5 but with a lens it's thicker. The LX100 II is also considerably bigger.

Have you ever had/used a Fuji XF1? I don't use mine often but it's a very cute little camera with a funky little zooming method and an amusingly wee pop up flash.

Have you tried the Touch Focus/Touch Shutter functions yet? Also, an interesting Fujifilm model you might consider trying is the X-30. It is an older model that I have enjoyed 😊

Hi, I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I love the content I have seen so far. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Great job. Btw, which camera did you use for video? Thank you.

the x20 and x30 are brilliant little cameras, the lenses on those are very very good.

As a retired publicity shooter I'm so done with large cameras. Now I use and carry two Fujifilm cameras. The X100VI and an IR converted XF10. I can carry both in a fanny pack and I no longer need a tripod to take IR photos. It's a cute little piece of kit that is both fun to use and produces wonderful pieces. And I used my OG X100 for a couple of publicity shots too.

Interesting and pretty good for a camera released five years ago. Surprising it's already been discontinued.

I used to use the X70 until about last year when it died. I moved to the GRIII and oh my goodness is the Ricoh just so much better in every single way, EXCEPT: I miss the flip up screen 😢. Ricoh is playing a different game in terms of intelligent UX and usability design nuances. If you're in the market, I'd always pick the GRIII knowing both. As a big jpeg recipe builder: You can make recipes on either, the Ricoh is actually more in-depth in terms of jpeg customisation. Not as much as Canon or Sony, but probably about twice as much as Fujifilm. Fujifilm has a bit more variety in terms of profiles, though not all are great imo.

I ended up with MFT because my Fujifilm X-T20 died on me. I hasten to add that it was all my fault. I use my camera everyday, and walk a lot, often ten kilometres a day, occasionally more. I live in a humid place and we sweat buckets. I had to replace the monitor screen twice because of moisture damage. Dropping it off my desk didn't help so now it's a goner. I bought a Panasonic G95, primarily because of the cost, and secondly because it is weather resistant. I have also looked after it, never letting it get too wet and would you believe it, the monitor failed this week, one week short of warranty. Of course the online store I bought it from has disappeared. Image wise, I wish I had spent the extra money and bought a more modern Fuji, I find the colours far more to my liking. This is something that has stuck with me since my days of buying rolls of Fujifilm for whatever camera i had at the time. Oh for a lottery win!

Where is a 26mp Xtrans4 XF20 Fuji!!

I'd love to see your take on the "pocketable" (if you have massive pockets or a hoodie) X100 series... ^_^

I used to own one and didn't really like it, sold it, and bought Fujifilm X70. All metal, flippy screen, and can add wide lens adapter.

Made me laugh...again!😂 Piercing the Fuji mystique, M4/3 has better focusing!😅 Wow! I love the tiny camera concept. I'd love to see your impressions of the Lumix LX7, the poor man's Leica. My $80 LX7 is so much fun and brings me back to the feel of film days. Of course while on the subject of tinyness, how about tinier sensors like the 1 inch sensor cameras? My Lumix ZS100 is a tiny wonder with image quality like my m4/3 G100. And, my new-to-me Sony (yes Sony thanks mpb) RX10IV with 1 inch sensor is mind blowing! 👍

Nice video! I think a xe2s (or other x-e series) or x70 would bebetter small fuji cameras by far imo

Great video and overview. Hope you saw the teaser for the new blink 182 single!

I'm trying to turn on my xf10 flash but forgot

I have this one, it's not as good as their XQ2, (by far the best tiny camera ever....) but it is very fun. The mic port actually makes it a very solid video machine (for bands or anything on a tripod that doesn't need 4k)

Oooohhh!!! She lives in my city, Liverpool!!!!

try an X-T 30 very nice small camera as the film sims

My Fuji X-E1 is the same thing I can shoot three different jpegs but not raw. So I only stick to raw+jpeg.

Hello, I want to ask you as an expert, if I buy a vintage 28mm lens will it work like a normal 50mm?(56) Will there be distortions? Thx!

It's a few firmware updates away from greatness. I sold mine because it doesn't have button customisation or dedicated macro button.

It's a shame that the M43 brands haven't come up with one, only one, truely pocketable camera like GR or this Fuji XF10/X70.

Seems like to me the biggest problem is id be stuck at 28mm. Like the Ricoh, where my gx85 has many many many more options! but i guess is not as compact... I can live with that. 😊 Still a fun review! Thanks for doing these!

There's a thriving facebook group dedicated to this great little camera - and to think John Lewis were selling them off at £240. I should have bought 10!!

Hard to find this XF used in the US. Got slammed by reviewers here and seemed expensive when new.

What’s the battery life on the XF10? I’ve got a x100s which I love but it’s only good for about 5 pics per battery 😢

Are there cheaper alternatives to this? onöy found for about 600 euros. quite a bit too over the top

It feels like a Ricoh GR with worse autofocus, and less flexible snap focus but with Fuji recipes we love. Do you think the RIcoh still justifies the price when all you need is basic street photography? 🤔

Are the numbers on M4/3 lenses the true focal length, or the 35mm equivalent?

4:48 F8 /snap shot settings/ should not bothered anyone who aims at DOF when using this preset settings as it''s not the goal of this particular settings as far as I see it.

This is what Fuji gave us when we asked for an X-80. We're still waiting.

Wish they'd made ultra wide versions of some of these little cameras.

Better than Ricoh in some ways, not just cheaper! If you learn to use it, it can do fantastic things!

I had the x70. I sort of like it. But the battery life is just terrible. Please tell me the GR battery life is not like that...

Have you seen Rode's new Wireless 2 update? 32bit Float audio. I feel the need to buy a new toy.🤣

I use a Xf10. But I don't know how to use most functions

X70 mate.

Fujifilm x100-V

It's definitely not for everyone, mine misses focus sometimes even in daylight, af is not precise enough, dynamic range, lens quality are great especially for the size. If it's not 200-250$ don't buy it, I've seen it go from 500-800 and it's not worth that much

Nice camera but it seems like all used Fujifilm cameras are in demand and a bit expensive

I started going down the Fuji rabit hole when I purchased a used A 2, loved it, then got an X-E3, then found an X-M1 with a 27mm and been a Fuji fan since, would love an X-E5 with a full frame sensor 😊

It does have a touch screen. Quite useless but it has it.

It looks cool. But IQ is not better than M4/3. Tons of other choices in M4/3.

Unfortunately this is the least loved Fujifilm camera from all the Fuji lineup. XF10 is practically the same X70 but with worst controls and the newer 24mpx sensor. All the rest - slow AF, bad lowlight AF has been kept from X70. I sold mine in mint condition to MPB Europe and got more money that I paid for it in the store so thank you MPB for getting my money out of XF10 deal.

I had the XF10......I ultimately hated it. Lol. The AF is horrendous. Great concept but very poor execution. Shame Fuji didn't correct this. With the success of the X100 series they forgot all about it and the X70.

I don't own this camera :) Some photographers myself included actually prefer zone focusing (or snap focusing in this case) with a manual lens for street photography, rather then relying on autofocus, and this very same feature is also one of the reasons why Ricoh GRs are so popular for the genre of street photography :) Of course it required the aperture to be stopped down but high ISO and grain/noise does not really deter in such scenarios, and shallow DOF is often not desirable. If I want to capture shallow DOF stuff I can afford time to focus slowly! Enjoyable video as always! 😀

It has touch screen and focus is not a problem at all.

Cool little camera but WAY overpriced ever since all the hipsters started buying Fuji and driving the prices to absurd levels. These things were sitting around for $200 a few years ago and now they are going $600+ lol. Just say no to Fuji cameras and price gouging.

The XF10 is a pretty weird one for sure. It's not exactly a premium camera, it's using a lot of plastic, doesn't have an X-Trans sensor but rather uses the very meh (when it comes to performance, not IQ) 24MP bayer sensor from the X-T100 and it overall a little bit off. It was overpriced, and it still is on the used market. My guess is that Fujifilm, after the initial HUGE success of the X100 and the X100S thought they were going to hit another home-run with the X70. Except that camera ended up being a flop : bad reviews at launch, IQ was okay but it wasn't really an improvement over other Fujifilm bodies and everyone just prefered the slightly larger X100S (which wasn't much more expensive as well). Problem being, Fujifilm probably had manufactured a lot of this very nice 18.5mm f/2.8 lens with the built in leaf shutter. Those lenses are quite expensive to make, and Fujifilm most lielt misjudged the sales of the X70 and ended up with a pile of those in stock being sitting money. My guess (it's hardly truth at this point, just speculation) is that they cobbled up the cheapest body they could make with existing components (as I said, sensor and processor straight out of the X-T100) to be able to slap that lens onto, turning sitting money into quick profit. And so the XF10 is what we ended up with. Which is a shame really. Imagine if instead of the X70 flopping, it would have been a huge marketing success. We would have had the X70S with X-Trans III sensor, and we could have the X70T or F with 40MP sensor in a body barely larger than a ricoh. Coulda' Woulda' Shoulda's

Hi! Nikon 1 series are smaller than mft. And better

It's Fujifilms worst camera ever made. I own 4 Fujifilm cameras but this one was a failure

The XF10 is pretty much a budget X70 - which also has super slow autofocus but with excellent image quality and controls as compensation. It's a great little camera but discontinued and pricy - I've seen them on sale second hand for more than what I paid brand new. Probably because nobody wants to part with them - I'm not selling mine!

So my iPhone 13 Pro Max is better? Ok.
