The Fujifilm X-S10 carves a niche in the segment of cameras under 1,000 euros and offers better features than most competitors. It is a technological and design "crossover" between the Fujifilm x-t30 and Fujifilm x-t4 models, which is looking for content creators also in the segment of video creators.
Let's go to the essence of the camera Fujifilm X-S10. It is therefore a mirrorless camera with DSLR design, which hides a 26 MP X-Trans BSI-CMOS sensor. Unlike other Fujifilm X-series cameras, this one has a more "traditional layout" of program controls, which is otherwise typical of competitors, and a slightly more pronounced larger grip. So it uses the same sensor, processor and auto focus system as the X-T4 and has a reduced 5-axis image stabilization system. The camera can shoot bursts at 30 frames per second with cropping, or 20 frames per second without using the electronic shutter, and 8 frames per second with the mechanical shutter.
An example for videographers and vloggers
Fujifilm claims that on the side of video recorded in 4K, the output data itself is 6K, with significantly reduced noise. It thus records 8-bit 4K/30P 4:2:0 or 10-bit 4K/30P 4:2:2 video to SD memory via the X-S10's HDMI port. But it can also record up to 240 frames per second in Full HD mode for up to 10 times slower video. There is also a classic microphone input on the side. Electronic image stabilization is active during video recording, while a dedicated video capture button is located on the top of the camera.
If we had to isolate the key features of the camera, it would be its "handiness", as it is only slightly larger than the x-t30, and the fact that it has body stabilization, which is a rarity for this size camera. For videographers, it is gratifying that the screen can be turned towards the creator and thus enable "selfie mode" or auto focus control when recording. Since the management is "more" traditional than the classic Fujifilm system, it seems that Fujifilm has presented a camera that directly competes with the Nikon Z50, Olympus E-M5 III and Sony a6600, and surpasses them in practically all technical features. Also because of the proverbial permanent "design" and the excellence of the brand Fujifilm.
