- Why did Fujifilm make the X-S10, and who did they make it for? I'll talk about that in my review of what might be the least "Fuji-esque" X-Series camera from Fujifilm.

Holy crap! That was one of the most well produced CZcams videos I’ve seen in recent memory. The writing was great, the speaker was articulate and had the perfect pace to keep you interested but not overwhelmed, and the lighting and sheer production was top notch. Hats off to you!
The quality of the video is staggering! the first scene with the spotlight is amazing! Love your videos!
Why is it not for professional users ? 10 years ago a lot of people were still shooting with a Canon 5D MK II which is much "worse" compared to the XS-10. It has more Megapxiels, better low light performance (even as an aps-c) better video resolution, faster shutter, better autofocus, almost everything on this camra is superior compared to an old canon 5D mark II. Just not waether seaked and not being full-frame are the only downsides to this camera.
For professional work there are some drawbacks. No dual card slots means if the card gets corrupted you'll be screwed, no weather sealing means no shooting in bad weather, the 8bit 4k internal recording will give you limited editing capabilities in post... The XT5 is out now so the price should drop on the XT4 which is better in my opinion and has the same exact sensor as the XS10
@@SebastianDavidPB youre facts are correct, but a 5D MK II could only film in 1080p 30 fps and had only 1 cf card slot aswell. But yeah xt4 and xt5 are better expecially the weather sealing part..
@@Baumtaler I'm not familiar with the full frame canons, only aps-c rebels and 90d because that's what I've used before switching over to Fuji, and to be honest don't regret it.
Have u checked the new XS-20 tho? 6.2k/30p 4k/60p, 10bit, new Trans X5 engine. etc. amazing camera for 1400$ body @@SebastianDavidPB
@@Omgiamsotriggered I have the xs10 at the moment, all rigged up now (rig cage and other accessories) so far it works out well for me
Superb review. Just what I have been looking for.
Fujifilm camera is ❤️ , I like their classy design . Hopefully someday I will buy mine.
Damnnn boi. Cant believe I just found this channel. Great visuals and music! Ahhh Chopin 😌💕. So soothing.
This is the only review on x-s10 that really points out the important advantages and disadvantages of the camera compared to the flagship models. I wanna get the s10 now! Thanks a lot!
Super review, lots of info and your opinions, thanks
Pretty nice video!
Just one addition: The unlabeled dials, the pop-up mechanism, the discrete record buttons and many more can also be found on the X-T100 and X-T200. These don't have the X-Trans sensor though. So I see the X-S10 as a combination of higher-end features with the modern user interface so far only available on the lower-end models.
Too bad they didn't include the larger, higher resolution screen from the X-T200. It's a bit odd that it has the best screen on any Fuji camera even though it's an entry level model.
For travel photography!!! I have an X-H1, excellent camera that stays home most of the time since I got x-s10. I completely customized x-s10, so now both blank dials do the same thing as traditional fujifilm layout. Learning curve was fast and easy. But paired with incredible small, light and sharp Sigma 18-50mm my setup is light, unbelievably light. When travel, this set in a small bag is a huge relief on my shoulders. More fun, more pictures. Absolutely no complaints on quality.
For 50% 50% photo and video, for the same price which one should i buy? X h1 or x s10
Well done! So much helpful info.
always love your videos! currently debating between a XT-4 and XS-10 so this was very useful for me. keep up the good work
Ha, I haven't enjoyed watching a camera review like this since Kai was on DigitalRev.
There is literally nothing to dislike here, so good. I welcome myself aboard.
nice review very pleasant to watch
Oh man you are so good at this.
Very cool review!
good review - comparison. thank you.
Thank you, great video 🧡
I've been watching and reading reviews for 3 days straight now and I think I'll go for it. In germany the X-S10 goes for 1299€ in the kit with the 18-55mm objective which is supposed to be pretty good and should suit my needs quite well. Such a pain in the A figuring out what to buy at a certain price point, at least in the camera market things don't move nearly as fast as in other tech segments.
Best, most sensible review of this camera that Ive seen. The X-S10 seems remarkably similar to some of the Olympus OM-D series (other5 than the sensor, of course).
Outstanding review indeed
Great review.
Thanks for the review. Even as an amateur I would prefer the layout of the X-T4. I like and use the X-A7 enough though. I haven't used a viewfinder in many years due to macular degeneration of my right eye. I preordered the X-S10 for use specifally with my Rokinon 12 and 35mm manual focus lenses, and, of course, expanded film simulations and IBIS. These qualities, along with the relatively small size of the Rokinon lenses, trump control layout. I expect to use the Acros sim to great effect.
Nice review...the footages are great.just want to know which lens u have used...
Awesome comparison that does a great job clearly highlighting relevant differences between the XT-4 and X-S10! Excellent production value that keeps you hooked too - informative and entertaining, not much more you can ask for, keep up the great work :)
Hello ^^. Nice presentation, but you failed to mention a number of features this camera has, in order to keep the video short, I understand. I hope this will help people who still have doubts about the X-S10.
- First of all, X-S10 can shoot bursts up to 20fps (without cropping) with the electronic shutter and up to 30fps with the same shutter type, albeit with 1.25x crop. Mechanical shutter is limited to 8fps, like you said.
- Only few dedicated buttons and dials exist on the camera. Appart from the exposure compensation dial, most other buttons can be remaped to do almost anything you'd like them to do, nevermind the markings. For example, top left dial can be set to change the ISO (which is what I personally prefer) or a number of things. ISO, AEL, AF ON, EVF and record button can also be remaped.
- IBIS system inside this camera can do 6 stops of image stabilization.
- There's a diopter wheel on the EVF, so you can set it to your liking.
- The grip is deep and comfy enough for the camera not to feel too dwarfed by larger lenses. If so, I'd recommend an L shaped grip, which will help in that regard. They're cheap and can provide some additional leverage.
Just some additional info from a Fuji user.
Fuji models like X-T1, X-T100, X-T200, X-A5 and X-A10 also have a record button. There are few others, but none come to mind atm.
I guess he meant the view mode button other Fuji cameras have „only EVF, only view screen, sensor..."
Good and fair review.
Good review!
I can operate this camera with a single hand. I saw you taking pictures with the XT4 and having to move your eye off the EVF to adjust shutter speed and ISO. I can operate the XS10 way faster than my friend's XT3. The tradicional DSLR configuration is designed for speed, I don't think that Fuji's more analogue configuration is more "pro", I find it more enjoyable, but pro cameras use the standard dslr layout in which like the XS10 all the main parameters can be adjusted without taking your eye off the EVF.
Spot on! Beautiful
My friend, you nailed it.
I am a non professional advanced photographer and what attracted me to the X-S10 is exactly the fact that I can get great IQ, the film simulations, etc. but do not need super speed, double card redundancy, mega battery life, etc. In fact I have those in my M43 G9... but want to enter the innovative Fujifilm system.
Before M43, I have been burned in the past by Canon, its cameras with planned obsolescence and bodies with a "castrated" feature set; no more. With Fuji, I will be able to use my Canon mount lenses on a great APS-C sensor.
The pop up flash reveal is so funny 😂
Quality video! New to channel and subbed
That camera looks so similar to a Nikon Z50. Loved the Z50 (specially the ergonomics/grip) but there are no Z DX lenses. So the Fuji would be the better choice for beginners.
Also the IBIS is an advantage.
I bought a X-H1 instead of the Z50, I think the X-S10 would be a little bit too small for the 16-80 and 55-200 lens.
The dedicated movie record button was on the Fuji X-T1. Nice to see it make a return.
I’m looking forward to get one, mainly for vlogging and Video work rather photography. I got my xt3 for that
Dankeschön for your video!
I wonder... Could I assign the front dial to control shutter and the rear dial to control ISO (or vice versa) in M mode?
Impressive overview of the X-s10 !!. First time anyone has actually recorded what the clicks sound like.
Nice review. BTW, the dedicated movie button also exists in the XT-100, which was a pain in the ass, because was so close to the shutter button.
Hi! The video recordbutton was also present on the X-T1. Unfortunately Fuji removed it at the X-T2 but came back as a different handy feature on the X-T4.
not just the X-T1 but also on the little brother X-T10. I guess he forgot or didn't know about that.
Can you please tell me in fuji XS 10 is it possible to display the image via HDMI and to the camera screen at the same time?
Awesome video and reviewer, BTW, how is this camera better than say a Canon EOS RP? Since the have about the same price. Which is better for a hobbyist?
Hi ZY nice great review! I own X-T100, this camera has the red video recording button too
same as my X-T10 :P
Anyone know about the new Update on X-T3? Did they add Classic Negative on it or just improved the AF?
Can you assign iso to the left dial and shutter speed to the right dial?
It’s perfect for vlogging
Great review! Can't make up my mind between purchasing the X-S10 and the X-T4, I do a pretty even split between photography and video. Was a long time Canon user and fell in love with Fujifilm with the X100T, so ready for my next Fujifilm camera. Any advice to which would be the better purchase would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, which one have u got ?
does the xs 10 have an external audio jack ?
will they make a battery grip for it?
Excellent.
What lens used in the coffee scene?
How does adapted lens work on the camera?
can you adjust shutter and aperture with auto iso?
3:30 my XT4 does not count up like that timecode with the XS10, how is that set?
Does anyone know if the new tracking autofocus works in video mode?
i shoot small videos like cinematic reels which camera should i buy a6400 or xs-10?
Zy, GFX worth the upgrade?
Awesome review! I’ve preordered it already, but now with deals it’s the same price as the X-T3 and I don’t know if I should go for that instead - what do you think? I’m only an amateur, but would like to have something I can use for several years and grow with as I develop my skills
Big selling point is the IBIS. I am going for the X-S10 for that reason. The other option is X-T4 and X-H1. The X-S10 will be 30% cheaper and has pretty much all the functionality of the X-T4.
"It's not the softest feeling eyecup" *hold up the eyecup against his glasses* xD
Just kidding, very nice informational review 👌
Which one do you recommend for street photography: X-T3, X-T4, X-Pro3 or X-S10?
It’s a gateway drug to the Fuji camera lineups
that would actually be the X100 series since people usually have a primary system and get an X100 for their “play” or travel camera. then they get sucked in. that’s what happened to me
Great review but can you help me decide what to buy the xt4 or s-x10 regardless of the price? Also love your way explaining. Regards
S-X10 smaller, battery shorter, no weather seal, not Fujifilm traditional design, the power equal 80% xt4. If you don’t care price, take xt4 but S-X10 is best P/P. Spend a lot of money for lens is better. I have test my S-X10 with 16-80 : czcams.com/video/Yk7bmFNmX4w/video.html
what an interesting camera
How do you switch between the S, C, and M focus modes? I haven't used anything but a fujifilm in a long time.
Menue, Qmenue or Fn Button ...Nice Greetings.
Great video! Still waiting for the X-T40. The pricing and the feature set are great, but I just want a small-ish body with my good old Fuji controls and, fingers crossed, IBIS. TBH, I don't see the point of a deep grip unless you use huge lenses or constantly operate the camera with one hand, or if you just have humongous hands.
The XS10 IS the XT4 with a PASM dial.
Mask On Nurse Marty
This checks so many boxes for me as a hobbyist Fuji photographer. I had it preordered but I can wait after all. In addition, Fuji is pretty good with their sales. I can see this going down in price within the year. I've been meaning to sell off my X-T3 and X-H1 anyway.
Why would you sell the two cameras? Is there any problems..?
I hope 1 day i can get this camera too...
A have them all the: Xt2,Xt3,Xt4,and why do i still go back to my old Xt1 for the film like picture quality?
Does XS10 have video limit?
Loff Fonseca, Lisbon. ZY, great review and comparations.
If they had an xt100 screen to accommodate people like me who still want a flip screen, it’s be the perfect camera.
Great review, thank you. I’m going to pre-order this camera. I am very much in doubt whether I should get it with the 18-55 f2.8-4 or the 16-80 f4. Which one would you recommend as a general purpose walk around and travel lens?
I have the XF18-55 f2.8-4 paired with an X-T200. Quite a step up from the XC15-45. Definitely "elevated" the X-T200.
The XF18-55 f2.8-4 is not weather sealed and the lens extends when zooming so it could be troublesome with gimbal use. Love the f2.8 aperture though so that would be the one thing I'd miss compared to the XF16-80 f4. I have a Sony A6400 with the SEL18105 f4 lens (does not extend when zooming). I prefer the XF18-55 primarily because images appear sharper and it has the higher aperture.
I only wish Fuji has Sony's Clear Image Zoom - that way I can zoom even with a prime lens (with minimal degradation - can't tell unless you pixel-peep). With this feature, I can double the telephoto reach of any lens.
Hey, I’m in the exact same dilemma as you. I have done my research & people have recommended me to go for the 16-80mm simply because it gives better versatility. First it’s weather resistant, it has a more wide angle, more telephoto, “better” stabilization, they say its a better lense overall. The only con may be the low light performance but they say it’s not bad either. Tbh I’m more inclined to getting it with the 16-80 bc the 3 people that I’ve asked (CZcams camera reviewers) have all recommended me the 16-80. Also I have to mention my priority is video shooting.
Let me know which one you decide & why!
@@alfonsojosefuentestobar4436 thanks! Still considering. I use the camera for photography mostly. Will let you know.
Forget the 18-55. You have to use at least f5.6 to get some reasonable sharpness. Contrast is not great either. The 16-80 has better IQ for sure. Or get a 23mm and a 50mm f2. With this combo you can cover the majority of your pics.
@@alfonsojosefuentestobar4436 In the end I went with the 16-80. I also got a 23mm F2 for lower light situations (like indoors) and 56mm F1.2 prime for portraits.
For me, the X-S10 is like a smaller X-H1. They are both controversial Fujifilm models.
Also, 6:51 Censor Dust!!
You used perfect word that describes this two- controversial! Currently debating which one to get..
3:21 A dedicated movie record button is there in xt200 as well.
FUJI XT1 also has a dedicated video button
I’m glad they made this model line !! Brilliant
3:50 X-T1, T2, T3 and the X-T10, T20, T30 and the X-T100, T200
Those videos might have sold me on this camera.
So, it's Sony A7iii (or IV) vs Fuji xs10 competing now? What does Canon R/RP and Nikon Z5 has to offer that'll be worth noting?
Sony is no door because price is double, hahah.
is this camera can be use as a webcam
Is the back display touch sensitive?... Can I operate the menu system with it...like canon ?
Yes. You can also select a mode to use the touchscreen for focus points
What song is that?
X-S10 released & suddenly Fuji improved the autofocus in Firmware 4 for X-T3. These 2 are very similar.
Not quite..
They should have called it the X-H10. There is the X-T3 and X-T30 and this is similar to the X-H line.
The stands for Sony, in case you didn’t know.
Hi, is the 1080p at 200 mbs?
I believe its 100mbs, same as the other cameras (I have the XH1) which is still higher than many other cameras (other than all-i)
@@calebweaver7110 that is interesting on the Fuji spec sheet for the Xt3 it says 200 mbs for 1080p 60 frames per second and 30 frames per second. This is my most important factor in buying this camera as I want a strong bit rate 1080p as most cameras on the market offer very poor 1080p (50 mbs or less). 100 mbs a second would be acceptable however or I could just buy the Xt3 which is the same price.
@@calebweaver7110 looking at the dpreview spec sheet it says the XH1 is 100 mbs and the X-S10 is 200 mbs at 1080p. Hmmm...
@@CheapCharlieChronicles your probably correct then, that's something I hadn't seen
@@calebweaver4535 and I hear its not weather proof like the XT3 and 4
how does focal lenght affect dop when the aperture is the same
Shorter focal lengths will have more depth of field because the aperture opening will have lesser diameter, meaning lesser divergence of the rays falling on the sensor.
good job
Love your accent :)
Do you think it could be more interesting than the XT3 if you are not a proffesional for the same price? Congratulations for your reviews, subscribed!
In that case, I would say yes!
Interesting between the two isnt it? Im in the same boat as you...but I think the body is too small as I want to get the larger zooms.....otherwise...Im used to the set up...all the dials are great in the XT cameras but guess Im lazy lol
Im leaning towards the XT3 or XT4.
This seems like a great competitor for the Sony a6600, price point is lower but the features are very similar.
Yeah. the xs10 body is 1090 bucks where I live and a6600 is 1650 bucks lol
@@wm1573 Yes, like I said.
@@qapturenlfilms ok
I hesitate between buy Em1 mark 3 or Fuji XT4, for photos and video of my travel (without gimball). Which is the best ?
I thought Olympus had died somewhere, haven't heard from them in a while, no seems to even consider them as any sort of valid option in 2020, back in the day when I was getting my X-T1 I was choosing between Olympus and Fuji, but these days it seems to be a no brainer.
By the way, Olympus sold it's company to "Japan Industrial Partners" because they couldn't crack it anymore, let's see if this new ownership can revive the dying company, but I wouldn't bet on it. besides Fuji often releases some amazing firmware updates which make your camera better over time. doubt that will happen with Olympus.
And finally: The X-T4 is a fliping Amazing camera!!! I wouldn't change it for anything on the market at the moment.
This is the first Fuji that I have considered buying. Fuji made this for me. I have always respected what Fuji did but unlike many Fuji owners I don't want a relic hanging from my neck. No offense Fujistas! Fuji knows what they're doing and they know they're basically in last place for market share. They need to reach outside of their very narrow range of customers. That is what this is. Now I hope they make a chopped down compact version much in the same vein as the Canon M6 but since the mount flange size is smaller it could in theory be smaller than the M6 Mark II. I'd buy that.
x-s10 haver here, prob the best beginner fujifilm. Best for hybrid users❤
Can this camera connect to a phone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to transfer photos?
3:23 they did that already with the fujifilm X70
which is better this or Xt-3, for a beginner?
the xt3 doesn't have IBIS (in body image stabilization). on the flagship models the IBIS only started from the xt4 onwards. The Xs 10 has the IBIS. And that's makes a hugeeeee difference. IBIS is a must have to nail photos that would otherwise be blurred.
X-A5 has the record button too
4k 30fps vs 60fps. Whats the loss then? Amidst all the noise, it all comes down to that isn't it?
Hi! I am a youtuber and travel vlogger. I am looking for a mirrorless camera for my videos. I have been so overwhelmed watching videos and doing research (a lot of yours). This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen so far, but id like to ask if you'd recommend this specifically for travel vlogging. I like bright colors, good stabilization, decent wide frame, and auto-focus. I am in between Fuji Xs10 or Sony ZV-E10 . HELP :(
PersonaIy, I would recommend the X-S10. Don't have much experience with the ZV-E10, unfortunately, but the X-S10 is a much better camera overall.

@@dani-moves You are welcome and may it serve you well on all occasions ^^.
If you need help with your new camera, I can wholeheartedly recommend you a CZcams channel called pal2tech. He's a great guy and really explains everything there is about Fuji ecosystem and camera functions and features.
Which lens did you get, btw? ^^
@@durzog3668 OMG you read your mind. i literally was asking for help on IG. So THANK YOU i will def follow them. I need some training because I'm used to recording my travel videos for youtube with a powershot sony, so this is a WHOLE different game for me lol. I cant wait!
I got Fujinon XC35mmF2 for now -- i couldn't not afford a more expensive one at the moment, AND i learned form this youtuber that its a pretty decent lens to start. its just plastic instead of metal, that's the main difference with the competition with pricier lenses-- what do you think?
Nice video with a chopin piano
