I'm so disappointed you didn't spend the first three minutes doing a commercial for some sponsor, and that you didn't have an annoying music track playing over and over and over in the background until my brain turned to mush and my eyes glassed over from not caring. I'm also disappointed you didn't throw in those overly-used and completely unnecessary jump cuts that many CZcamsrs think are so impressive. In other words, thank you for making a regular, unpretentious, and informative video that got to the point and didn't waste my time trying to underwhelm me with hackneyed effects.
Thank you so much for such a special comment! It means a lot to us! You have definitely made our day! Thank you so much for your support!
I think the PASM dial attracts people from other brands, but it also improves the Fuji design. With the X-S10, I get all the controls with my right hand-aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, quick menu, joystick. I used to shoot RAW, but with film sim, histogram in the viewfinder, and highlight blinking, I get accurate exposure in manual mode with no trouble. I also shoot manual focus to get edge highlights in the view, which gives me depth of field info even wide open, and use back-button autofocus to override for big, quick changes. More control, more confidence, no chimping. I also often use burst mode-for focus bracketing on macros, and super-resolution stacking to increase reach. Sometimes 5 or 4 fps, so I can shoot singles or multiples without changing settings, and sometimes 10 or 20 fps in fast mode for birds & insects. I just don’t bother with mechanical shutter these days. I know when I would need it, but the situation doesn’t arise. I’m a better photographer now because advanced techniques are easy with this camera.
That is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Thank you so much for your support on the video as well!
no men nooo! this is illogical in this camera
@@spikeweb5193 ?? What would be logical?
XS10 is for me the best bang for the buck camera Fuji has. I ditched my Canon EOS RP and so happy I went with this camera.
just the review i was looking for comparing these cameras. thanks, man!
You are very welcome! I’m glad that the video helped! Thank you so much for supporting the video!
Thank you very much. You got right to the point and graciously walked us through the benefits AND “what’s good enough”. I really appreciated your approach.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support on the video! It means a lot to us!
Thank you for this well-thought-out review. You brought up some great points about the video differences. I've had my eye on the X-S10 for a while. I had an XT-2 which was a great camera.
You are very welcome! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! It means a lot to us! XT2 is definitely a great camera! Thank you so much for your kind words and support!
For a non-pro, you do know camera specs and features very well. Kudos to you. I am about ready to purchase the XS10 after months of deliberation. Love the IBIS, Fuji sensor, 26 MPs (just right), and compactness. I don't like the decision to use UHS 1 cards, lack of weather sealing (so it may not be what you want to bring on a day hike) and some other things. Also, I am pretty nervous about the video AF. Some have said it is inferior, others have said it is decent. I hope you enjoy your new camera and will stay tuned for further reports.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Good luck and keep us updated getting the camera!
7:50 I put on any unstablized prime lens on XT4 or Xs10, with IBIS and DIS on, I also got very jerky images when I panned slowly. However, when I put on the 18-55 OIS lens, I got gimbal-like smoothnes in the footage. So I now only use OIS lenses for shooting handheld video. Also no IBIS issue with a gimbal. It's OK to leave IBIS on when camera is on a gimbal.
Just picked up an X-S10 since my XT4 lives in the studio setup permanently. Love it.
The X-S10 has a lot going for it. Your video answers many questions about both cameras. Thanks
I’m glad that you found the video helpful! Yes, the X-S10 definitely has a lot of great features compare to other cameras on the market! Thank you so much for your support!
Thank you for this video. Finally made me to go with xs10 instead xt4 . Great job 👏
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for supporting the video!
Great video. Much appreciated thanks!
Thank you so much for supporting the video!
Hi! Thank you for the correct presentation! I would also like to hear about your practical experience with the autofocus, face and eye detection and the settings of these functions.
Totally agree with all 14 points, they can apply for me also. I am using my cameras way more for taking photos than videos. So i think that Fujifilm X-S10 is the best APS-C camera for under 2000$ (including the lens) in the market-period.
exactly what I need, good video, thanks bro
You are very welcome! I’m so glad that the video helped! Thank you so much for your support on the video!
thank you for the explanation..getting started & i'm getting this xs10 to go with sirui 28mm for my filming..sigma 18-35 & 50-100 for stills..with cage,,matte box..gimbal & other neccesarry equipments..editing systems..its for hobby & filing up time..thank you again..
You are very welcome! That’s a great camera setup you have! Thank you so much for supporting the video!
Thanks for sharing your experience that I share with the X-S10. I have a question about the cage: Are the Q and ISO buttons still easy to reach?
You’re great at what you do, thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It means a lot to us!
recently got a GH5, while it takes awesome photos I mainly got it for the outstanding video options, saving up for a fujifilm camera for photos and it was down to X-t3 or XS-10, Love all the buttons and dials on the X-T3 but the XS looks nice and its up to date...it will act as a backup video option to the GH5 so I guess that will be my deciding factor, thanks for the video!
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and supporting the video!
"Let's get straight to the point"
Appreciate that🤘
Thank you so much for your support! I'm so glad that you like the format of getting straight to the point in the video! It means a lot to us!
Time is value
Excellent, a very versatile, user-friendly camera. My only gripe with the X-S10 is the difficulty of extracting the SD card. And that 56mm lens is absolutely amazing.
im looking for a new camera and found this, this is helpful ☺️
That’s awesome! I’m so happy that the video helped! Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Good luck getting a new camera!
Honest review on why you selected the X S10. Both very good cameras but I too settled on the X S10. This camera has more than its fair share of professional features and is easy to use out of the box or manipulate as you wish. This is not the best of the best but unless you are enlarging images or shooting battery chewing scenes this is an outstanding little camera with phenomenal ergonomics.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and supporting the video!
You can even print in on 33'' no problem. Pictures that this camera takes are great, sharp and detailed....you just need to combine it with better Fuji lenses, not the XC ones.
I have both The X-T4 & X-S10. When I'm out shooting, I usually grab the X-S10 for vlogging and my main photo camera.
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Both the X-T4 and the X-S10 are great cameras! Thank you so much for your support on the video!
Jaymes, I have a few questions about Xs10. will you clear that please. can you please ping me on Aniket_mgfx.
@@aniketsuryawanshi8612 hey, I’m not sure what that is but if you want you can ask me on here or follow me on Instagram and ask there. IG: @jaymesmedia
@@JaymesMedia ok, thanks
Thanks for the video. I have the X-S10 and decided to buy it in preference to the X-T4 for mostly the same reasons as you. I previously had an X-T1 and then the X-T2 but wanted IBIS to pair with my 16-55mm f/2.8 non OIS lens. I did not need the higher end specs of the X-T4 so went for the X-S10 and I love it. The only annoyance is the smaller EVF but I can live with that. I already had 5 batteries from my X-T2 that I can use with the X-S10 so no need to buy new batteries which is a substantial saving right there. Overall I saved about $1,100 AUD by opting for the X-S10 over the X-T4.
At some point in the future I might sell my X-S10 and get an X-T5 or X-T6 or maybe whatever the replacement for the X-S10 happens to be.
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I hope you enjoy the X-S10! Thank you so much for your support!
I think so.. :)
Thank you for the video! You actually made me realize that X-S10 will fit me more than X-T4. May I ask, what is the main reason for getting a cage? Is it for better ergonomics and camera safety? Would you recommend getting the 18-55 2.8-4F lens or 16-80 F4? The first kit is cheaper and I have read it is faster. I mainly plan to shoot video 70% and 30% photos. Thank you!
You are very welcome! That’s a great question! I always get a cage for my cameras because I do video mainly and I always have to attach accessories like monitor and mic on the camera so I need a cage. If you do video mainly, the 16-80 F4 will be a little better because of the constant aperture and wider focal range, but if you do a lot of low light videos, you might want to get the 18-55 F2.8 or prime lenses. Hope it helps! Thank you so much for your support!
x-t4 is better but more expensive
You made everything so easy to understand. Planning to buy the X-S10 so I don't have to buy the XT4. BTW I already have the XT3. Thank you.
You are very welcome! I’m glad that you found the video easy to understand! Thank you so much for supporting the video!
U gonna have so much fun with the XS10. You have my word! 🤩
Thank you so much! I’m sure I will have a lot of fun with the XS10! It is such an amazing camera!
Definitely love mine
bro can we record 10 bit with this?
@@aniketsuryawanshi8612 yes externally with a monitor which can record.
@@ArinaKimCinematicVlog thanks a lot.
Great review. I am also considering either the X-S10 or XT4. I don't shoot video, weather sealing is nice to have but I live in the midwest and there and it never rains for long. Card slots, been shooting digital for 16 years and never had a card fail. Battery life, it's more than enough for stills for me. I think the EVF would be the only deal breaker for me. One thing you didn't mention is that that the X-S10 is 6 ounces lighter (17 grams). The X-S10 + the 35 mm F2 weighs a total of 22 ounces which is a very light set up. I love cameras with great value propositions like the X-S10.
Have you done a video about your Custom settings? If not could you share that info with us as it would be very useful for everyone especially the target audience of the S-10. Thanks for the great review :)
Thank you so much for your kind support and suggestion! We will definitely try to make more tutorials about Fujifilm cameras!
Excellent video. I have an XT-5 and just bought an XS-10 as a second body. I am pleased with both cameras. I have also used a Sony A series camera and the SD card has the same configuration in the battery compartment. I don't have a problem with it. One of the gripes of the XS-10 is that the S-C-M setup is in the menu, not on the camera. Still, it's a great camera.
Thank you so much for supporting the video and sharing your experience!
Isn't that on the left button? If not, I think it can be configured that way. Just going by what others who actually own the camera have said.
Excellent realistic review.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support on the video!
About Reason 4, how much visible is the difference for a YT creator ? I ask because I am between XS10 and XT3 and I want it for videos for sure. Not only for family reasons, but to create YT videos also (mainly the latter).
For stills and videos, which is better to get? This or the lumix g85?
On point👍👍
Thank you so much for your kind words and support!
It is great camera and i am using it rn. But, i wish there was 4k 60fps and 10 bit internal recording. Otherwise, this camera is perfect.
Thank you for the video. Really useful information. I’m currently trying to decide between these two cameras. The X-S10 seems more my speed because I’m new to photography and really only want to take pictures and some video. A couple questions. Due to the different burst rate would the S10 have difficulty capturing images of active kids? And do u think the S10 is too small for a Fuji zoom such as the 16-55? And finally, should I worry about how future proof the S10 is? I wouldn’t want to upgrade a couple years down the road. Thank you so much sir.
You are very welcome! Those are some great questions! I think you might be better off with a X-T4 because of the faster card writing speed for the fast actions, better weight distribution with bigger lenses like the 16-55, and better video quality for future proofing. Hope it helps! Thank you so much for supporting the video!
@@henrymediagroup thanks for the response. In your opinion would the s10 be capable of capturing active kids? The s10 price for similar features of the xt4 is hard to pass up. Thanks again.
We have never captured fast action photos with our cameras, but we do know that the SD Card write speed of the X-S10 is limited by the UHS-I card, so you will be getting around 1 to 2 seconds burst photos. If that works for you, the X-S10 is not a bad choice. Hope it helps!
for videography and film which is good XS10 or Xt3 this are only my budget range xt4 are expensive. Please guide and you prefer planning to buy but I dont know which one both are good cameras
Isn't the X-S10 also weather sealed? I am from Germany and in the ads it says dust and water resistant. That is very important to me. Thought this would be the case for x-s10
explained quite nicely
Thank you for supporting the video!
Great video!
What’re your thoughts about a pocket 4K as my A-Cam and the X-T4 as my B-Cam/stills camera? I already have a rigged out pocket 4K and want a B-cam that can take good stills but can also be intercut with the pocket 4K!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support on the video! That's a great question! I have been using the BMPCC4K and the Fujifilm X-T4 and they work very well together because of the 10-bit color on the X-T4. You just want to color match them with a color checker. Hope it helps!
@@henrymediagroup Thanks a lot! What lenses do you use on your X-T4? Love your work, your pocket 4K x RS2 rig helped a lot!
You are very welcome! We mainly use the Fujifilm 23mm F2 lens for videos because of its auto focus features and its compact size. Hope it helps! Thank you so much for your kind support!
@@henrymediagroup Hello again, I'm reconsidering the X-T4 and opting for the X-S10 instead! Pocket 4K and X-S10?
Hi, the 8-bit footage on the X-S10 might be tougher to match with the BMPCC4K. Hope it helps!
Fast question, where i live they all cost same price. thinking about getting xs10, a6100,a6400. they all differ in 100 usd , and i cant get what to get!
Hello, I've watched your video about the GH5 called "Is The GH5 Still Worth It In 2021? | Coming From Full Frame To MFT". I'm still using a GH4 and I'm hesitating at either an open box GH5, practically new going for $950 or a brand new Fuji X-S10. If my main objective is to make shorts, I should really go 10 bit, right? so GH5?
GH5 is a great cam, the thing thats not too good maybe the AF and lens choice-price. Lets say their 25mm f1.4 its cost more than some full frame 50mm f1.8 which we know its eq 50mm f2.8
But if we talk about quality, the 10bit and IBIS is totally great in GH5, and if you can live with manual focus and manual lens (which many is great now like ttartisan f1.4) GH5 is good enough
Good review. But I'm worried about the EVF. I hope it's okay, though 2.36m (or whatever) "dots" is inadequate IMO. All EVFs should be at least 3.69 "dots" (a stupid way of saying 1 mp?).
Can you please put the link of the cage you’re using in this video..
That’s a great question! Here is the camera cage that we were using in the video, hope it helps!

That’s a great question! Here is the link to the camera cage that we were using on the Fujifilm XS-10:
amzn.to/36fI689
Hope it helps!
Sorry, but. Can the XS10 display out to the monitor?
I mean, I'd like to shoot and show my "subject" to see what I'm going to shoot. Just like in the viewfinder, but on the monitor.
So, basically i and my subject see the same results
As I am a mountain biker riding in almost all weather, this is not for me then. Good you mentioned the lack of weatherproofing. Cus brutal rain, snow. But I think I will get a even better camera, but this, camera seems like a nice camera, jus tnot fit my needs. But will take great pics.
@Tēcuani Tepēyōllōtli I've been cosidering it too. I am just looking tru all info i can when am too bad to do anything else. So camera videos is one of those things I watch but had my eye on the s5 for a while. Will definitely look at more reviews of it. Does it have GPS? I forgot. It has a proper flipscreen.
Hey bro, any updates on the vignetting of the 12mm MFT lens on the tilta mini matte box? I really wanna but the Tilta mini matte box and pair it up with the Meike 12mm MFT
You can color-grade 8-Bit on the X-S10, it holds up well if you don't throw a LUT on the there and grade from scratch. I've done it. I'm going to go make a video later on how to expose for F-Log. It does fall apart quickly if someone tries to grade it like its Raw Video, just have to be careful like you said.
That is so true! You can still color grade 8-Bit footage if you are not tweaking the colors too much. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and support!
@@henrymediagroup you’re welcome and thank you
You don't need weather sealing until you need it!
i really like the camera but i cant find any good lense for not much money. like all good cost over 300.
I'm still undecided about the X-S10 vs XT-3. The X-S10 is newer, has the IBIS, is smaller and better ergonomics, and is U$ 100 cheaper right now. But, the XT-3 has a better EVF, has the flip up/down screen (that i prefer), has more buttons and has the traditional dials (not better, just tradicional). With a lens with OIS, the IBIS would be redundant.
But my main struggle is that I eventualy might move to prime lens without OIS.
So, this is my situation... EVF / flip up-down screen/+buttons --- VS --- IBIS, ergos?
XS10 is better than XT3 in almost every aspect. The only two reasons to get XT3 are the dials and 4K60 video
Nice camera
Is X-S10 good enough for professional work? Mainly for portraiture and probably events every now and then.
Yes, without question. The only hesitation I would have would be about the single card slot in a wedding sort of situation. That said, I shot a Nikon D700 for around six years as my main camera and I never had a problem with using a single card slot.
@@milesian1 this makes me question buying the xt4. I think xs10 is a really good value for the money but that extra specs from xt4 make it end game quality 😅
@@kevinmueco9323 Another consideration I forgot to mention is the battery life. The X-T4 uses a newly designed battery, while the X-S10 has the same NP-W126S battery as the X-T3 and older models without IBIS. With IBIS activated, the S-X10 eats through batteries a lot quicker. That said, for still photography with people as subjects, such as at events, you want to keep shutter speed fast enough to eliminate motion blur, so stabilization isn't usually necessary or desirable.
If you're working events with two bodies the X-S10's tiny size could also be a consideration. I find it a mismatch with my larger Fujifilm and Nikon bodies, but others may fight it a relief.
Dynamic Range, 8, 10 bits, plus all those logs for video...What the hell? I just want to buy myself a camera to go out and to have fun under the sun, as I believe your point is. Two sd cards... non-shake, etc. I'm not Steven Spielberg, and I'll NRVER be. By the way, I just want to take pictures at 26 megapixels, where people will be happy to see themselves. Not to expose at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts. I haven't even printed a picture for the last 10 years. I don't want to understand TV or the psychology of the cow in order to have a hamburger while watching the Superbowl.
I like your full common sense about this camera explanation. I'm about to buy myself a used one. That's why I came here.
So, the question: Can I buy this camera to have fun?
Give me the simplest settings, please.
And no, I'm not taking pictures in the rain, snow sleet, or volcano's eruption. If it's bad for my health, it will be bad also for the camera.
You are a great facilitator.
Why is no one talking about the XT-3 instead, or the new XT-30 II? Are those 2 not on the same level as the XS-10?
battery is very poor
