  • In this video I go over the Fujifilm X10 camera in detail. I try to highlight features and properties of the camera that I think are good as well as the ones that are bad. The lens and build quality are the camera's best features, though the lens makes the camera difficult to fit in a pocket. The worst features are probably the port door, battery door, older 12mp sensor, and pointless optical viewfinder. I show sample photos from an anime conventions as well as snapshots taken in Arizona. I compare one photo where I attempted to get an equivalent focal length and exposure between the x10 and Nikon D750 for fun. I don't think I'll be keeping this camera, but I do have to say it's really not that bad. I just want something smaller that can easily fit on a pocket such as the Sony RX100 series cameras.

    Still a very good camera even after all these years and a very charming piece of gear. I dusted it off yesterday after not having used it for 5 years and I was impressed how ahead of its time it was. Thanks for that review, I hope this camera will age to become an Hall of famer .

    The Fujifilm x10 was very much a niche camera when it came out that appealed to experienced photographers, who wanted a small well built camera with good image quality, good controls and an optical viewfinder. There is a bit of a learning curve to get the best from this camera but once you've got there and are comfortable with using it the X 10 is a fantastic little picture taker.

    This is a terrific review! You hit on almost every point. I bought the x10 in 2011 for $450 including an extra battery, filter and case. It's been my go-to street camera ever since. I guess I've shot over 20,000 images and have always been impressed.
    I also have an old Canon S95, which is very compact. The x10 is better. I really utilize the f2.0-2.8 lens. Very sharp and a really nice piece of glass.

    • @ScottJWaldron
      @ScottJWaldron  6 років тому

      Bill, thanks for the positive feedback. What's your favorite feature of the camera?

    • @hoppysport2872
      @hoppysport2872 6 років тому +3

      Scott Waldron Two favorites: First is the way the X10 looks...reminds me of a Leica. Second is the lens. It's tack-sharp and fast at f2.0-f2.8 in all lighting conditions. 90% of what I shoot is street photography, and that zoom is awesome. Plus at 28mm-112mm, the coverage is what I need for most scenarios.
      I have a Canon D5 Mkll. Great camera but at this point, long in the tooth. I don't shoot events, so a DSLR is kind of silly. If I were buying a camera today, it would definitely be the Sony RX100 Vl. That 24-200 24mm-200mm optical lens is perfect for anything you can throw at it. Great video too. But I'm sticking with the x10. No need to pay extra.

    • @ScottJWaldron
      @ScottJWaldron  6 років тому +1

      I agree, when a camera fully does what you need there isn't any reason to switch. Those RX100 cameras do look nice. It's too bad they had to take out the ND filter on the latest model, but I guess it was necessary due to the lens change (more of a video feature anyways so not a huge deal for straight photographers).

    I have an x10 and love the optical viewfinder, especially in bright sun.
    The Fuji film mimic settings are great. I like the zoom method of just twisting the lens instead of those annoying rocker switches.
    The build quality is excellent, all metal. Looks Leicaesque too. Cool

  • @jockmoron
    @jockmoron 3 роки тому +2

    I bought my Fuji x10 shortly after it first came out, early 2012. It's been my only camera since. I am an amateur, but take reasonably good photos. The only thing you can't easily do with this camera is get that nice bokeh in portraits. You can get a bit if you're at the long end of the zoom and shoot at f2.8. but there's no neutral density filter to aid you and finding one to fit is impossible (the thread is an unobtainable 39.5 mm. Fuji sold an adapter and lens hood, but it leaves a gap behind the filter). There is a "Pro Focus" mode which takes 3 photos at medium size and merges them with a blurred background, doing what the smart phones now do, but years earlier. It works quite well, but only if no movement in the subject and in the scenery behind - eg won't work with the sea in the background. If you don't like it, it will take an ordinary pic at the same time.
    But the main positive with this camera is, like the Fuji x100 series, is its great flash and fast sync speed with the leaf shutter unto 1/4000 of a second (though only to 1/1000 at full aperture) . I use flash a LOT outdoors with people pictures, in bright light for fill in, and in darker to bring some highlights to the subject. The flash will fill flash in bright sunlight with a whole group of people 6- 7 metres away or light up a whole house to fill in for a moody picture at dusk. The camera rarely gets this wrong. Ken Rockwell has some excellent info on the use of fill in flash, if you don't use fill in flash regularly, please read this. Your photos of will improve hugely with wise use of this feature. If you're not going to enlarge the pictures too much, then even at ISO 3600 you'll get a perfectly good pic - the "noise" looks more like film grain. There's a night mode for static objects that also merges three pictures, that's also very effective. There's a useful panorama mode, and there are a few Fuji film simulations, not as many as you get with their newer cameras, just standard Astia, Provia, Velvia, and the dynamic range of the camera for the size of the sensor is outstanding, Fuji have a very effective adjustable dynamic range, at the expense of a higher ISO (up to 400) and I've seen no other camera make with this effective system. This review, though good, didn't really cover many of the other capabilities of this little camera.
    One of things not mentioned is the fact that the sensor was Fuji's proprietary EXR sensor, which you can dial in on the top of the camera. This has a mosaic of two different sized pixels, and was intended to increase the dynamic range of the small sensor. On EXR setting, it will at times reduce the pixel count to 6 megapixels if needed. I've never been sure that it made a great deal of difference, and in practice it sometimes seemed to overexpose, so I don't now use this setting - I prefer having the 12 megapixels to play with if I need them. There was the "orb" issue with the sensor, I got this fixed. Don't forget you're getting an f2.8 pic at the equivalent of 112 mm. Small sensors have their drawbacks, certainly, but your little Sony can't do this. The macro is superb. There's a ± 2 stop exposure compensation dial. It lacks a tilting screen which is a miss, and it would have been nice to have a 24 mm equivalent lens. I find the viewfinder not at all "useless". It works, but only covers 85% of the scene, but within its limitations, it does have one, and unlike the Sony you don't have to pull it out to use it. I can use it with my glasses on, and it saves a huge amount of squinting in bright sunlight - just leave a bit of room and you can crop later. For the most part, SH prices are surprisingly high, confirming the value people still place on this model.
    This is a camera for the family man or woman with an interest in photography and having some control of the camera (particularly perhaps like me coming from the older era of film and used to adjusting manually the parameters of film photography, speed, aperture, ASA) , or the tramper and traveller - for holidays, trips to the beach or countryside, parties, markets, street scenes, people in particular, etc. It will perform this function extremely well, and if there's anything wrong with the photos you take, I can guarantee that it'll be your fault, not the camera's!!

      "but your little Sony can't do this"
      What are you even talking about? Did you copy paste this from somewhere?

    • @jockmoron
      @jockmoron 3 роки тому

      ​@@ScottJWaldron Your little Sony can't shoot 112 mm equivalent at f2.8. That's correct. And no, I did not cut and paste, but merely described my experience of nearly nine years continuous use of this amazing little camera. But yes, in many, in fact in most, respects the little Sony will outperform this now 9 year old camera in photo and movie quality. That's unarguable. But you'd expect it too. But you pay a lot for the Sony, and it works on a completely different shooting experience. My longish post was pointing out that mere pixel peeping is not what the Fuji x10 is about. It has many good tricks up it sleeve, and makes a great family camera, as long as it lasts, that is. You can visit ua-cam.com/video/_jdxC3s9OKU/v-deo.html for another take on this camera. Cheers.

    Great and realistic review :) Bought this week for £189, in nearly new, superb condition, original box, manual etc and 2 spare batteries! Agree the viewfinder is unusual (!) but I was aware of that anyway lol! But it is simply a really beautifully constructed camera. Despite all its potential drawbacks, it looks and feels good to use-unlike many more plastic consumer cameras today, and in the right hands is still an excellent tool for anyone considering a cheap but superb camera for travel or grab and go use-or anything! Incidentally, this camera fits perfectly in a Mirrorless Mover bag, together with the "After Eight" size batteries! There is definitely a real charm factor with the X10!

    The 2/3 sensor being around twice the size of the kind found in most p&s cameras, and superzoom, also bigger than the 1/7 sensor found in the canon G9, G10, G11, G12, G13, etc etc.
    Combined with a fast f2.0-2.8 makes it still even today a pretty camera.
    The only better models available today are those with a 1" sensor, but you still won't get the telephoto reach unless you opt for the lumix tz100 or Later sony rx100 models, but you'll be paying around $400 plus for these.
    I've still got mine and use it all the time, can be kept in a coat pocket, the same as my Fuji x100s.
    Something which is impossible to do with my Canon 1dx mk111 or Canon 7d.
    If it broke, would I buy another, the answer is no because I've got a tz100.
    If I didn't have then I'd probably buy a used one again, as the zoom comes in Handy, something that x100 series owners are aware of.
    They aren't going to make an x100 with any type of zoom, sensor size determines lens size, and to make say a 24-75mm for an Apsc sensor would mean the lens could stick out at least 4 inches if it were of a faster type.
    That's the reason for the lx100, which I also own, which uses a crop of a m4/3 type sensor, so you end up with something inbetween a 1inch and a m4/3, allowing a fast smaller lens and a reasonably coat pocketable camera.
    But more expensive than the 1inch sensor cameras.
    So much to choose from, you end up buying stuff you rarely use, because you can only use 1 camera at a time..
    Plus you've always got your phone with you:)
    Most of my camera gear and lenses sit around doing nothing for months at a time, yet I'm always looking for something else.
    And I'm just an Amateur, I rarely even take raw files as it's too time consuming processing them.
    Hence most stuff I own, fuji x10, x100 lx100, tx100 produce superb ooc jpegs.
    And more often than not so does the canon 1dxmk3 which is a high end expensive camera.

    The best feature of this camera is the leaf shutter. This means off camera flash at 1/1000th without hss. Or on camera flash at full power at 1/4000th. In the right hands this camera can still be used professionaly.

      I really have no idea why people think it's a big difference between 2000 and 4000 of a second never been an issue with me but I also tend to like drag shutter. There's a minut difference in the skies when using Flash between 2000 and 4000 early enough to constitute any decision I have when buying a camera

    Hello. I bought this second hand Fujifilm x10 camera about 3 months ago for $300 CAD in excellent condition. It took me a certain period of time to learn the basic functions cuz I'm not used to this system and I'm not a photograph but I'm used to it and I must to say that the quality of the grain is super bad ass. Even a jackass like me with no experience in photography have been able to take high quality pictures who look very professional. I strongly recommend this camera if you find it for a good price.

      For $300? Hell yeah man! The image quality of this camera is simply EXCELLENT!! You will love the quality of the grain. It's very professional. Of course it will be a good idea to test it and inspecting it before buying it. Make sure you put a good sd card in it. What I mean by good SD card is an SD card with a fast writing speed. The first SD card I bought at Best buy was bad and it had a huge negative impacts on the pictures I was taking. I suggest an SD card of AT LEAST 95 WRITING SPEED. Sometimes they say 90something speed but it's only the reading speed and not the writing speed.

    The auto zoom as seized on my Canon G11, and is not worth repairing. I like the manuel zoom on the Fuji x10 or x20 , i think it would be less likely to seize with less auto parts . Plus the Fuji looks to be so well built, compared to latest sony or panasonic offerings. Reliability is a big factor in replacing my Cannon, so i might go for the older Fuji . That's if i can find one that hasn't had to harder life.

The camera is beautifully crafted (the design is up there with the x100 series) and the iq is good enough for small prints and social media. I wouldnt use it for low light tough, autofocus can be fast enough in good light, but perhaps you are doing zone focus anyway for street. The ovf is okay but its quite small. One more thing: before you buy check if there is no dust or dead pixels on teh sensor. You cam check this by taking a picture of a white wall or blue sky at f11. If you see any dots or dead pixels then you know not to buy it

    Man, this is exactly the review I was looking for. I have a Canon S110 which does take good pictures, but totally lacks the experience a compact like the X10 could offer. Seeing how you also used the X100F and XT20, how do you like the film simulations in the X10? Do they look good and convincing or they look too artificial?

    • @ScottJWaldron
      @ScottJWaldron  6 років тому +2

      Sorry, I haven't gotten into the film simulations on Fujifilm cameras. They don't really appeal to me, though I might mess around with them eventually. They are more than a simple filter, but you are basically baking in a certain look into your jpegs.

      Hey there. Got my hands on a X10 just a couple days ago. Man, what a difference. With the S100 I felt I was shooting a 'better' point and shoot, with the X10 I feel like I'm using a better, more advanced camera. And those looks, holy cow, I didn't know I liked retro styling that much. Image quality is superb too, so far I'm only shooting JPEG+RAW for the sake of comparison and to get used to the camera and the film simulations, but as for real world use I might not need RAW that much.

      You probably want the largest sensor and fastest lens you can get for night sky photography. It depends on what you expectations are. With $300 you might be able to get something like a used Sony NEX-5N with a used Sony 16mm f2.8 E, though prices depend on where you live. I see a Sony NEX-5N and 16mm f2.8 E for $397 before shipping on KEH.com (with a used rating of "excellent").

Yeah, the Nikons solid (D600 & D750). No complaints I can think of off hand. The X100F is unique and pretty solid, I'll be trying to assemble a review for that one next and then the D750.

      I'm mostly doing glamour shots for Instagram models now so the FA 85 1.4 but I also use the 31, 43, and the 77 from time to time. For portrait and landscape the K-1 is hard to beat for under $2000. I like Fuji but for the stuff I do I prefer Full Frame. For street shooting I'd rather have the Ricoh GR than the X100 series.

      Depends on what you want to do and how small you want it to be. Considering the A5100 is an interchangeable lens camera it will give you a lot more future options as you learn about photography and figure out what type of photos you enjoy taking. However, if you don't like carrying around a small bag and want to fit the camera in a pocket then a RX100 would be ideal.

      You might want to go on a site like Flickr because you can find photos taken with specific cameras. I've never used either of those. There are also sites like DXOMark that show how good the sensors are. The A5100 has an advantage because the sensor is a lot larger than the RX100 series cameras. www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Sony-A5100-versus-Sony-Cyber-shot-DSC-RX100-III___967_957

      Oops! My mistake. I had both cameras around the same time and I apparently pulled some X100F photos in from that convention. I just attempted to trim out that portion of the video with UA-cam's creator studio video editor. So if that works those few photos will be removed from the video.

      Sorry, I don't know what the going rate for that camera is in Europe. It's getting older as well. Maybe check an online auction sites or online used camera shops to compare prices. I assume ebay is a thing in Europe. You can search the site and adjust the search to find listings that sold to compare prices.

      That really depends on your expectations and needs. I eventually sold this one because it wasn't small enough to fit in a pocket, but also didn't have the image quality like one of my big cameras to justify using it instead of them. Though, I'm used to the image quality of large sensor cameras (APS-C and full-frame), which isn't a fair comparison.

      Personally, I wasn't happy with the quality of the photos back when I bought it used. So that will depend on your expectations. As far as I know, they don't sell anything like it anymore. If you want something new from Fujifilm I'd suggest the X-A7 or the X-T200 and a small prime lens. Not as compact, but this camera wasn't really pocket-able anyways with it's big lens bump. I wouldn't suggest the previous versions of the X-A7 and X-T200 because they were not great. If price is an issue you can get into used Fujiflm cameras. I don't stay knowledgable on what they had in the past that's worth checking out. ua-cam.com/video/WTQfTxKnUw8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/aqOkBeIfBzA/v-deo.html

      I don't have this anymore. At 9:10 in the video there are photos of people in costumes from a convention. That's as close as it will get for portraits. It's an old camera with a pretty small sensor and average lens. Don't expect the world out of it. If you want to get the blurry backgrounds get an old DLR with a large aperture lens around 50-85mm on full-frame (or 35-85mm with an APS-C crop camera).
