New Compact Fujifilm XF10: 28mm F2.8, APS-C, 24Mpixel

Fujifilm has accustomed us to quality products, even on the compact front. The new Fujifilm XF10 was born with the intent of positioning itself on a lower market range compared to other models in the list seemingly similar. Here are the features.

Street photography: this is the first thing that comes to mind looking at the image of the new compact Fujifilm XF10. Compact, fixed quality optics (18.5mmF2.8 FUJINON equivalent to a 28mm on the 35mm format), and that look a bit retro that much like. The fans will know the most prestigious model Fujifilm X70, to which this new model refers and at the same time offers itself as a much cheaper alternative, at the expense of some renunciation.

If the lens and the dimensions are the same, it changes, first of all, one of the most appreciated features of the X70: on the Fujifilm XF10, the sensor is a ” normal ” APS-C with 24Mpixel Bayer filter, instead of the 16Mpixel X / Trans. In short, megapixels increase, but the type of sensor changes. It also loses some direct commands such as the multi-function dial, which gives way to touch controls on the rear screen (no longer adjustable), from which time are also set times.

Fujifilm XF10Also noteworthy is the Buletooth connectivity and the Square mode, which allows you to shoot in a 1: 1 format in the optical Instagram. The processor is not the most updated, as evidenced by the ability to shoot in 4K but only at 15fps. In short, compared to the model X70 are lost a bit ‘of things, but the price is significantly reduced: it will cost around $500.

Of course, the ” purists ” will see in this model something more oriented to the occasional enthusiast than to the advanced amateur photographer, and they are not entirely wrong. However, the Fujifilm price list does not lack the most suitable models for their needs, which is why Fujifilm XF10 can be considered a quality compact camera with a precise target, to which Fujifilm winks.
