I asked Fuji Canada to borrow the X-S10 for a few weeks and now I want two of them. In this video we test video, photos, autofocus, and IBIS. Then we hit the streets of Toronto for an afternoon street session... and a ham sandwich. This is the most ergonomic camera Fuji has ever made and I just can't get enough of it.

Just the review I was looking for. Great info and detail and love the POV walk around. Appreciate your time in putting this together. Have subscribed and love forward to more stuff coming.
thanks, Marc!
Thanks for this upload! I am a longtime Fuji-X shooter and I only recently learned about the S-X10, so I had questions. Your video answered all my questions and then some.
Awesome!
Great videos, man!! The segments so well-timed and good pov reviews!! Subscribed!
Cheers!
I’m pumped to get an XS10. It really seems perfect for my uses w/ interview shooting snd weddings that I do on the side from my day job. Paired with a Zhyuin Crane ‘M2 with a couple
Of Prime lenses and it seems like a dynamite choice for a light weight do all Wedding setup
Another stellar review! Subscribed!
Bringing that IBIS down to the lower price point is awesome. Also, Classic Chrome 👌
damn right!
God if they had dropped the XS-10 before I bought my XT3 in August I would've snatched that up in a heartbeat. Will say my fuji has inspired me to shoot so so much more now
There’s just something about them that’s so fun, right?!
Awesome video!! Thanks for this fantastic breakdown.
Awesome videos and great photos with the Fuji S-10!!
I love my Fuji XT-2 & XT-3, I've played with the Fuji S-10 an that thing is nice and does great video/ photos......
Dude your videos just look so damn good. The color and lighting is sick
Thank you!
The X-S10 is my first Fuji camera and I couldn’t be happier!
awsome!
POV section was fun. There were a ton of moments where I shouted "o pt get that!"
and then you got that.
I’m never missing a 2002 Camry. Don’t worry.
Love your explanation!!
Props to you bro for walking around Toronto with a mouthguard camera! No fcks. I dig it. And top notch quality on your videos as always!
-Tuan
Appreciate that!
Photos out of this camera just remind me of my family's old photos just full of film feel and nostalgia.
Hi Patrick, I really like your review. I'm selling my SONY 'cuz I teally don't like the ergonomics on it. I'm getting the X-S10. This is the one I've been waiting for. Cheers from Montréal!
don’t let your xt3 hear you talking like this
Great review! I was in between buying this or a X-T3 and you really sold me on this one
enjoy it!
My first Fuji camera ever, and I looooove it! Never thought this before, as I was firstly a Canon, and secondly a Sony fanboy.
Which canon do you use before? Do you find the AF performance on par with this xs10?
@@hafidhhh It‘s a Canon 550D. And with that I often had problems with the AF, as it did not focus on the eyes of the person I took a photo.
Just bought the xs10… and its now my favourite too.
That is what I exactly want to know about the Fujifilm Xs-10 camera, I think this is the camera I was looking for.
If you're mainly a stills shooter with some video work thrown in this seems like a great option. Also loved the Delica cameo
big Mitsubishi Delica fan. almost impossible to find where i live. i saw ONE a few years back and it still makes me smile. stay well. thumbs up.
So, what if you are mainly a video shooter. What options do you recommend?
Uh oh my X-100V knows im thinking of selling it for this. Would be a better sidekick to my XT4. Great video btw!
Much better side kick!
Knew it ! I was waiting for a video on this product from a person/creator I know
Here we gooooo
Patrick da best
Haha
This is my first Camera and I'd love to see a settings video of the box because I know a lot of people have adjusted and re mapped it out the box. Overall great video 🤌🏽
I don't touch with anything. Just shoot and have fun.
Better late than never:) I bit the bullet and finally bought this camera. And I love it. X-T30 is also nice and small and beautiful but man this camera is much more comfortable for me. I thought I would miss all these retro controls but actually don’t. May be it’s not so beautiful but I appreciate comfort and effectiveness more. And I am really considering to start shooting jpeg. It will be easier with this camera, I think. Thank you for this video, it is wonderful.
Nice video. I did buy one myself and so far, I love it. I got it for the sensor and ibis, I don't usually shoot video but it's there if I want to. I purchased the 18-55 kit lens which I think is a great lens but bulky. I have to pick a prime for it. I was debating between the XT-3 and the 100V but I got a good deal on the X-S10 so I went for it.
So, I was an idiot, and bought this camera on a whim without much research (it hasn't arrived yet). But videos like these are making me think that I made a good choice. Thanks for the video!
Good review, thanks! It's basically this years' XT40
without all the limitations of that silly camera
I recognise this guy's voice from somewhere...
Great video mate!
Hahah! Thanks dude.
For $999, and it’s features, it can’t be beat. All other competitors are easily $1,500+ with similar features. The X-S10 is a solid choice! The 8-bit still looks really good, and more than sufficient for majority CZcams content. This was suppose to be my next camera buy. Lol
The Nikon Z5, full frame, is on sale for the same price.
The X-T3 is the same price and a much better camera
@@legniak1 I ended up buying the Sony ZV-E10.
@@RalfeOrtiz I looked at one a while back but after checking reviews the rolling shutter is pretty bad. looks like a good choice for the price though. Hope you like it
@@legniak1 it’s great and serves it purpose. I mostly do talking heads on a locked off tripod. So rolling shutter isn’t an issue for me.
If I get a Fuji this is the one! Btw CANNONS sound great!
they're so good! on Musicbed!
It is good to hear that your 23 mm F/2 lens has good auto focus. How new of lens is it? I have been watching Denae & Andrew ( think that is right) channel and many of his reviews of that lens has mentioned the lack of sharpness when close-up. A retailer has said that some of Fuji Film's lens have improved over time.
This was a good video. I have not done video yet, but purchase the X-S10 for many reasons you have mentioned.
Just came across your channel. Mine arrives here in Japan tomorrow. I owned a bunch of Fuji gear in the past. I had a XT2 with several lenses. I am slowly moving back to Fuji as I got a X100V earlier this year but wanted something with IBIS . I did order the old 35mm f1.4 so it will be curious to see if the autofocus is much faster as people are saying with the newer bodies. Cheers from Japan but Canadian....
Awesome! I’ve used the 1.4’s as well and I’m not a fan for video. They’re great for photos though!
That was an amazing review! I've been waiting for the XS-10 review for quite some time now. Haha. I've been torn between getting this or the XT-4. How's the battery life when shooting video?? Thanks for the great video btw!
It's on par with my XT3 you get a couple hours of video out of one battery!
Sounds like a great camera for all around family photography.
Dear Mr. Tomassso, thank you for sharing your valuable time and expertise with us, viewers of your channel. I've noticed that still images from your camera are slightly but beautifully underexposed. Maybe it just me... but I feel that behind that slightly darker ambiance there is something more subtle than just turning down exposure compensation dial. If I may... Is there some recipe (fujifilm default film simulation or your own) involved? Thank you.
Looks like a good camera. I think I'll pick one up and see if I like it.
Thank you for this video, I respect your honest opinions on any camera you talk about (to avoid the term “review”).
Do you still use it? Did the S5 or A7IV take over now?
And how did you manage to chat with people with a mouthguard mount?🤔🤔😄😄
I can not tell you how much I loved this video. I’m speechless. You gave me a lot of ideas for my xs10. I was going to return it to buy a x100v but now I’m not. Thank you very much for sharing all your settings.
Glad to hear it!
I sold my X100V and bought the 27mm f2.8 for the X-S10. It hardly extends beyond the grip and the combination is ergonomically better than the X100V, but not as good looking.
Its my First camera "FUJI XS-10" ❤️❤️
Just love this one....Its Style, Ergonomics, Build quality,Super cool images and videos it produce and the articulating LCD display...!!🥰🥰🔥🔥
Still viewing all the reviews of my Cam..!! A goosebump moment when hearing all the positives 🥰🤗
The only negative i felt is that its not weather sealed 😕
Really Thank yöu for this awesome review..😊 Its what i am looking for.
I just want to know which lens u used for the Street Photography?Is it the same kit lens?ie XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS ?
Just loved all the pics taken...😍😍🔥🔥👍
This is the most optimistic Xs 10 review 👍 I have seen on you tube...I am purchasing mine tomorrow 👍🙂.. thanks for sharing the positive vibes man....🙏
You spelled center wrong my friend :-). You have summed up my feelings on this camera so well. I would add that I have had great results with this and a Fringer Pro (version 1) adapter with Canon EF mount lenses. Great for me since I have a ton of EF lenses including a 100-400 Sigma which is so much less expensive than the Fuji offering. Another great video. Love the street session vlog. Cheers.
That's how we spell centre in Canada. LOL.
@@impatrickt I know just having a bit of fun. I grew up in NH and had lots of Canadian friends making fun of they spelling is just engrained in me now I guess. I know it's the US that gets most spellings wrong in the eyes of the world :-)
plz sir. use the body cap
Nah man you gotta live on the edge! #losethecap
Great content!
Thank you for the great video. :)
superb video brother
Nice review!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video! Just got mine and love it. Can you do a video on how you do a complete set-up of the camera for still & video? Thanks!
I had to give it back to Fuji! I will probably pick one up in the new year. I usually leave if in a priority for photos.
@@impatrickt Oh to bad, maybe you'll find one under your Christmas tree, ha!
@@netalexpg1 hope so!!
you love this camera
i love your videos
YEEET
Great overview Patrick. Those Fuji colors look great SOOC! I am thinking of getting the X-S10 with the 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens. I believe that the lenses with LM (linear motor) are smoother and faster for the AF system. I would probably add the XF 100-400mm and 1.4 TC as I like to photograph and film wildlife. Do you think it would be okay for that?
For sure! Enjoy it!
thank you for the awesome vid fam, new sub from this
Appreciate it
so nice to see love for Classic Chrome. i bought a used x-t2 earlier this year and got adapters for all my vintage lenses since manual focus is just my preference but i have been looking into getting a native fuji lens. not really sure what to get. torn between the 18-55 kit or the 23mm.
I like the kit
Thanks, bro. Very helpful. Would you think this would be a solid pick for someone doing simple content creation (videos and stills) for website, social media, and CZcams videos?
I don’t see why not!
Lovely video dude! Might sell my X-T30 for this 👀 I’ll have to see
that would be a solid upgrade for sure
Just did exactly that, extra grip included!
Upscaling 1080 to 4k is the way.
This camera looks amazing!
the dirty secret of CZcams
@@impatrickt "Movie production and hard drive companies hate this CZcamsr secret"
As an XT2 owner with a bunch of the chunky ultra fast primes, this makes me sorta want an XS10 and all of the compact primes instead 🤔
Good review! I want this camera... I'm just unsure about what lenses are out there for it. I started on cameras a year ago and shoot on my sony.
I’ve been torn between this and the XT4. Only real thing in my opinion is that ones weather sealed and one isn’t. I was just put on to your page, love the content brotha. Appreciate the review. 🔥🔥 work. If I go with the XS10 would I be damaging the camera if I occasionally shoot in the rain? I live in Az so it’s never really raining that much but still lol.
I wouldn’t worry about the weather sealing. I have a bunch of cameras that aren’t weather sealed and I’ve never had an issue. Snow. Rain. Sand.
@@impatrickt no sh*t well that makes me feel better. Just never really owned a weather sealed camera. Thanks bruh
That was a really great review to watch! I’m debating getting this for better SOOC jpegs. Fuji colors just look so nice!
If you do join Fuji, you’ll have a blast with recipes. So much you can do to make it mimic film stock. It’s good stuff. :)
@@AtomicPixel I’ve seen that! Also looks super fun
For street shooting though, the X-T3 rear screen would be my preference. Still, I might have to hold my nose and exchange my X-T3 for one of these... Or return to Nikon with a Z6ii.
Great Review! Been wanting to switch to fuji for awhile now and this convinced me. What lenses do you recommend for this bad boy?
kit lens
That mouth guard!
Thanks for the nice video, looks like an interesting camera.
Can you use the lens aperture ring with the X-S10. Someone else mentioned that the lens aperture rings are disabled with this camera.
Yeah you can see me use it in the video.
Hello sir, what will be a good wide angle lens with xs10 for beginners for travel photography?
Thanks for the awesome video man. Have you paired the xs10 with the 16-55? Do you know if that setup works well and if it could work on a gimbal as well?
Not a fan of the 16-55 but it works great with the 18-55. Camera might be a bit light for some gimbals but should work with a ronin SC or similar.
I have XT20 and I want a second camera lol! I'm so tempted xD
I have the XS 10 well I tell a Lie I did have one but my son saw the photos that I took with it so I sold it to him as it is so good. This camera is probably pound for pound the most underrated camera ever made. Seriously, it is so good for the price for less than 1000 bucks you get a top grade sensor in body stabilisation fantastic auto focus. It has everything you need. If you can’t take good photos with this camera it is time to go and find another hobby. It is that good
Hello Patrick, Hope all is good with you.
Is there any way to get exposures longer than 15 minutes in camera on my Fujifilm X-S10? Thanks! Cheers, Steve
im not sure! should be a bulb mode though.
damn that sandwich at 9:26 looks so good
yea it was awesome
Thanks for this bud!! I ordered mine which will be here in two days!! I’ve currently been using the EOS R for my main photo and video kit for the past year, but my videos for this channel have been lacking depth for me.
I have also always had Fuji cameras simultaneously. I’ve had an XT3 and XT2 but sold them and kept my XT-1 with Fringer pro 2 adapter to use my canon glass. I’ll never get rid of my XTOne.
But I’m so excited to try out the XS10.
Btw, where did you get the music for this vid? Cannons?
Thanks,
Adam
Music is from Musicbed. Enjoy the camera!
Excellent video, great review, clear and well presented! I'm seriously considering this camera, the only thing I would've liked is weather sealing but then again I don't have it on my old Canon 450D either (as far as I know)! Cheers.
Don’t worry about the weather sealing. Fuji cameras are built like tanks. I’ve been in rain, snow, sand, and heat with my X100t and it’s working perfect. It’s not weather sealed.
Sweet Delica!
I've always struggled with avoiding interactions with others while shooting on the street. An action-cam mounted on a mouth guard would definitely be one way to go about it.
I get what you're saying about Fuji's style vs. ergonomics. I've been using Fuji cameras since 2013 and would still give it to my Canon 5D2 in terms of actually manipulating the camera's controls while shooting. With the Fujis, for too many functions you have to take the camera away from my your eye to make changes.
Interesting! The new digital dials make changing settings so much easier than the older models.
i'm thinking to get it as a beginner
I'm looking for a good moto-vlogging camera and was wondering if you can turn this on and use it with the LCD still turned in on itself, protected still. Do you know? Thanks for the great video.
every camera works with the lcd on or off.
came here because i thought i wanted to buy an x-s10, but ended up realizing i want that van @ 8:45
you get it
Hi. Its a nice video. Would you please suggest the lens size for street photography?. I purchased the new Fujifilm xs10 and I got the 16-80mm lens along with it. Can I use it for street photography?
you can use whatever you want
Thanks. Now I listen to Cannons. 👌🏼
Hi Patrick. I'm searching for my first camera and I've been looking at Fuji for quite some time. I mainly wanted to use it for handheld video shooting and perhaps taking some photos as well. So, between XS10 and XT4, which one should i buy?
They’re both great. I like the grip on the XS10 better.
Hi Patrick ! First of all, thank you for this quick but complete review.
I am currently looking to buy my first camera for street photography (currently using my grandfather Nikon D90)
I was wondering if you still use it or if you would advise to go to something different for 2023?
Thank you in advance and wish you all the best !
I’ve switched to Sony. Cheers!
How’s the battery life for 1080 video tho, and is there any issues with putting a mic on the camera?
great information. Any tips on extending battery life? as this is the only issue I currently face. the battery drained in 2 hours.
buy more batteries. that’s Fuji in general. I have like 15 of those batteries for the xt3
Great video (subscribed 😁).
In the event that you tested both, which kit lens would you recommend with this camera as an all-arounder for a beginner? The 18-55mm f/2.8-4 or the 16-80mm f/4? You mentioned AF is good with the 18-55mm.
I dont like that 16-80 f4 at all. it's too slow. the 18-55 is perfect.
@@impatrickt thank you very much for your feedback!
I found this review SO HELPFUL, liked and subscribed. I am having trouble deciding whether to get the XS10 (with 23mm f2) or X100V for my CZcams + Photography setup. The CZcams side of things isn't super intense (e.g. just talking head and some B-roll) which is why I'm considering the X100V too. I know that you love the XS10 as seen in your "Final Thoughts" but for my situation would you recommend one over the other?
May I also ask how you find the minimum focusing distance of the 23mm f2? I tend to do lots of close up shots of small sized products so having a close minimum focus like the fixed lens on the X100V would be ideal.
I'd take the X-S10 over any camera in Fuji's lineup right now. for real. X100's are fun but they are a novelty camera. an expensive one at that.
if you want to have that experience just throw a prime on the X-S10 and you're golden.
@@impatrickt Nice! One more thing, is the 23mm f2 suitable for close up shots of small products? (E.g. ear rings, earphones) Not looking for a macro lens but something that can come in closer than 30cm
Thinking of buying this camera… I want the T-X4 because of its video quality but I don’t think it’s practical Because I really want a camera just to travel with and take pictures of city buildings etc. I think this would be a nice first camera. I have gitters so the IBIS is very important to me. Also the flip screen is what I prefer. Thanks for the video
Practically speaking the size isn’t much different.
What lenses are you liking for video on the xs10 I just have the kit lens for now but want to upgrade to either the 35 f1.4 or f2 for b-roll/food videos
I would avoid the f1.4 lenses they aren't weather sealed and they focus horribly slow. I think the kit lens is pretty much all you need. amazing AF, great OIS, and the focal range is perfect.
Yooo the a-roll! Love the setup!
thanks my dude!!
man, I'm torn between this and the x-t3! For video, I'm struggling to see distinct differences apart from getting 60 fps on the x-t3. Both do 4:2:2 10-bit externally, although I'm seeing conflicting info on bitrates and whether or not the x-s10 does H.265.
no h265 on the XS10. makes no difference to me though. same with the 422 shit.
Love love love this camera. Picking it up far more often then my xt3’s now. IBIS with the 90mm has been outstanding. For street photography I use the 23f2 on it and zero complaints. Same great image quality we all know and love. And the ergo? You nailed it. If it wasn’t for the single card slot I’d use this for wedding work. Had high hopes for this one but it’s far exceeded any expectations I had. This is the dark horse in the lineup.
I think an XS10 and an XE4 is the perfect 2 camera setup now. Hear you on the 2 card slots.
256GB is not enough?
Thanks for this video..liked and subscribed. 65 year old, buying 1st camera. Would you suggest the 16-80 or 18-55..or just buy the body & get the 23f2? Thanks!
16-55 or 18-55
Happy new yr my pasiano,can u tell me any overheating problems,and how about the viltrox 23mm 1.4,would that be good with the x s10, besafe
definitely! no overheating. fuji's just don't overheat especially in a model like this.
I love mine too! :)
My solution for the grip is $7, a thumb grip xD
.
.
Joking aside, I know video-making needs stuff on the hot-shoe and the X-S10 does pretty well to address that by having a nice grip for hand-held video works.
I have a few of those thumb grips but they don’t compare to an actual real hand grip.
@@impatrickt True! That's what holding a DSLR after a while of using tiny mirrorless feels for me.
The big grips feel so good xD
thanks for the effort and sharing.. i would be SO into the X-S10 if there was X-T3 quality internal 10bit. i hear you about the available 8bit, even using F-Log. how about forgoing the 8bit F-Log and relying on the eterna film sim. i wonder which looks "better" 8bit F-Log vs 8bit eterna? as for being a still machine, you did a nice job portraying a lovely section of toronto. what is that neighborhood called? i am an appreciative subscriber. stay well. thumbs u[.
Not a popular opinion but I don’t like Eterna - but if you do it’s an easy way to get around the 8 bit internal as you won’t need to do much color work at all. Same goes for all the films in video actually. Provia looks quite nice.
@@impatrickt thanks for the sharing. i just re-watched this vid. though i'm a dedicated sony FF for personal and work, i do jones after the fuji bodies. i have an x-t1 but i like the ability to crop so thinking X-S10. again. (and that's even after watching your great come to gee-sus moment about tha A74!) thumbs up.
Are there Batter Grips available for XS-10
Just bought it as my first mirrorless camera but dang is it heavy! My gawd. I’m seriously thinking of returning it for the Sony a6400 because that is way lighter and weather sealed too. My wife and I mostly just wanted something light and portable for traveling that can still take really nice pics
That would be dumb.
@@impatrickt why? Serious question. Are you saying the lighter a6400 isn’t worth all the trade offs?
@@brandonmerritt absolutely not - and the XS10 is light.
@@brandonmerritt a6400 is indeed a good move if you value the lighter weight and weather sealing. If possible see if you can try out or rent a camera before you buy, to avoid buyer's remorse.
at last
got the answer !!
to what question?
Great review - thanks. 1 year on, would this still be your first choice? Is there something newer you would recommended ( or are you anticipating an upgrade to the X-s10?). I have a Nikon D7500 which I just find too heavy, and I tend to leave it on Auto anyway. I use an 18-200 lens which is great for its range and how compact it is. Will the picture quality be as good with this Fuji as the older Nikon? And your pics from your street photography session all looked great, but generally seemed a little dark ( your head cam gave much brighter images). Was this due to a setting? Thanks again.
i sold all my fuji’s and went sony. no regrets. the photos are how i wanted them to look.
@@impatrickt Thanks - interesting. I have been considering the A6400 - the one thing that put me off was lack of image stabilisation - and its still a relatively old camera - and surely an update is due soon (maybe with IS)? What did you get?
Great video. If I could get your opinion on a couple of things I would really appreciate it. For the money, would you not consider the Panasonic G9 or even a used X-H1?
Do you know if you can get a Fuji eyecup for the viewfinder as I don't like the look of not having one?
Cheers!
XH1 is one of the worst fuji cameras I’ve ever used. Even an XT3 is better. I’m not aware of any eye cups.
@@impatrickt Thanks for the reply, I've heard good things about the X-H1 so it's good to get your opinion. How about the G9? They are currently about the same price, G9 is bigger (but smaller lenses) and slightly worse in low light (I wouldn't think there is a lot in it), however it is weather sealed, better IBIS and more in body features.
@@fuzzyduck5668 I dont see much future in MFT.
Great video, are you bothered by the flippy screen for street photography? I also have an x-t3 and while I am very tempted by the x-s10 with its lighter weight and ibis, I am afraid I will regret the x-t3 screen, do you get used to the flippy screen?
I just use my phone now for street photography and gave up on these cameras for running around. too big. too bulky. never wanted to carry it.
