Hooray! I bought a Fujifilm X-T10 camera and the reviews were not long in coming!! Digital camera Fujifilm X-T10: review, reviews Digital camera fujifilm x t10.

Judging by its appearance alone, the Fujifilm X-T10 is easily mistaken for a flagship model - it is quite similar to the older X-T1 camera in the family, which is noticeably more expensive. However, when evaluating the declared characteristics, the novelty seems similar to the more affordable X-E2 model, which has a non-magnesium alloy body, a non-tilted display, and fewer controls. In general, it is immediately clear that the manufacturer tried to fill a niche between the X-E2 and X-T1, which was quite impressive. However, there is nothing surprising in this, because Fujifilm entered the mirrorless market with some delay and took its first steps only in 2011, so the lineup still hard to call slim. However, Sony, with its “mirrorless” cameras, entered the starting track a little earlier, but its lineup has already managed to not only take shape, but also undergo significant modifications. But back to the Fujifilm X-T10.

⇡ Scope of delivery and additional options

Fujifilm cameras from time to time come to us for testing without a box and with a minimum of options - this is a tradition. In the case of the T10, a battery, charger, shoulder strap and a complete Fujinion Super EBC XC 16-50 mm 1:3.5-5.6 OIS II lens were provided. However, the boxed samples are not much different: in addition to the above, they come with a data cable, a user manual, as well as a disk with additional software and an electronic version. complete guide user.

⇡ Appearance and usability

The body of the novelty is made of magnesium alloys, which in photographic equipment has always been considered a sign of a certain “premium” or at least a special status. Most often, the magnesium body goes only to top models of cameras. However, the T10 is actually a representative of the expensive “mirrorless” segment – ​​at the time of testing, retailers asked for almost 65 thousand rubles for a complete set with a basic lens. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 and Panasonic DMC-G7 cost about the same, which, by the way, lack premium metal. The body of the X-T10 is quite thin - only 40.8 mm, while the main competitors are thicker, and the DSLR-like Panasonic DMC-G7 is completely chubby.

It is also noteworthy that the T10 is lighter than its main competitors. The only exception is the significantly more affordable, but similar in characteristics Sony ILCE-6000. The build quality is high - there is nothing to complain about in principle. Unless fans of the brand should look less often at the belly, where the Made in Thailand sticker flaunts. This does not affect the build quality at all, but it's still annoying that, for example, the more affordable E-M1 is assembled in the native Japanese islands, and the T10 is assembled in a Thai factory. Thanks to the rubber coating of the front panel, as well as a small handle and a protrusion on the back for a thumb, holding the camera is quite easy and comfortable. Moreover, due to these very protrusions, it is convenient to work with the camera with one hand.

The front of the T10 is quite loaded, which is not typical for most mirrorless cameras: here, in addition to the lens mount, there is facial disc controls, a shutter timer indication LED (it is also an autofocus backlight), as well as a pair of built-in microphones and a three-position focus mode switch (single operation, tracking and manual).

There are also quite a few elements on the rear, but, firstly, they are dispersed over the entire surface, and secondly, they themselves are not too large, so the rear surface does not seem overloaded. So, most of it is occupied by an inclined screen, above which there is a viewfinder, supplemented by a proximity sensor, a diopter control and a key for switching between the viewfinder and the display. Slightly to the left are the delete keys and the transition to the view mode. The fact that they were sent to the far corner does not affect usability, because these buttons are only needed in view mode, when both hands are free. To the right of the viewfinder are the autofocus and autoexposure lock keys, as well as the rear command dial. Below there was a place for buttons to go to the quick menu, change the display mode, a programmable key, as well as four navigation keys that form a ring, in the center of which there is a button to enter the main menu / confirm input.

The upper part of the case is loaded so much that it just ripples in the eyes - an inexperienced user will need time to get used to it. In the center is a "hot shoe" - a kind of cherry on the cake from the built-in flash. However, the flash is so small that when folded it is completely invisible. A little to the left is a drive mode dial, complete with a flash lock lever. To the right, a shutter speed disk, characteristic of Fujifilm mirrorless cameras, is installed. Of course, it was not possible to fit the entire range of shutter speeds in increments of a third of a step, so the manufacturer limited itself to a step of one step, and intermediate values ​​are selected using the control dial. The shutter speed dial is also supplemented with a lever for switching to automatic mode for setting exposure parameters.

The matter is not limited to two discs: there is also an exposure shift dial, unfortunately, devoid of an LED indicator - if you accidentally turn it, you can notice this only when viewing the footage. A disastrously inconvenient video recording button and a shutter button tomorrow with a power lever are installed nearby. The latter, traditionally for Fujifilm, boasts a connector for connecting a mechanical cable release. It seems to be an atavism, but for a camera made in retro style, it is an extremely important atavism. It's like a tie to a suit - you can do without it, but it's not the same anymore.

At the bottom is a tripod connector, a system speaker, and a cover for the battery and memory card compartments. Unfortunately, the lid lock mechanism is not equipped with a spring, so you have to close it manually - just slamming it is not enough.

The right side surface is empty, and on the left, under a plastic door, are hidden connectors for connecting USB and HDMI cables, as well as a universal connector for connecting an external microphone and a wired remote control.

Fujifilm announced the new X-T10 mirrorless camera. The novelty is equipped with an APS-C X-Trans sensor with a resolution of 16 megapixels. The older model X-T1 borrowed the tracking autofocus system. The tilt screen is not touch sensitive. Its diagonal is 3 inches, and the resolution is 920,000 pixels. The built-in viewfinder boasts a resolution of 2,360,000 dots. There is also a built-in flash. Continuous shooting can be done at a speed of 8 frames per second.

The Fujifilm X-T10 will go on sale June 18 in black and silver and black. The cost of the carcass will be $799. In a kit with a 16-50mm lens, the price tag will rise to $899, and for $1099 you can get the XF 18-55 F / 2.8-4 optics.

The characteristics of the Fujifilm X-T10 are somewhat similar to the older model X-T1. The body of the new model is less expensive and of higher quality. A very important innovation for this model of cameras of this class is new mode autofocus. The X-T10 features powerful tracking autofocus similar to Nikon's 3D tracking and the Sony A6000's autofocus.

The Fujifilm X-T1 flagship camera received the same tracking focus mode with a firmware update.

The X-T10 is a very small camera that could well be called a miniature version of the X-T1. Both cameras are equipped with the same X-Trans APS-C image sensors. Their resolution is 16 megapixels. The camera's autofocus system is also the same. The turn-on time of the X-T10 is only 0.5 seconds. The time interval that elapses after pressing the shutter button and its actual operation is only 0.005 seconds. The camera is capable of shooting at 8 frames per second.

The controls of the X-T10 are similar to those of the X-T1.

In such a small body, Fuji engineers were able to fit even a rising flash. However, its power is small. The guide number is 7 meters at ISO 200.

To activate the flash, a spring-loaded lever is used, which is located on the left. The shutter release is soft. The button has a threaded connection that allows the use of a mechanical cable. The upper part of the body is cast from magnesium alloy.

On either side of the control wheel are the autofocus and exposure lock buttons. Next to the viewfinder is a button for forced switching between the screen and the camera's eyepiece. The viewfinder itself has a proximity sensor, in order to be activated when a person starts using it.

Many lenses from Fuji are equipped with an aperture ring. But not all of them can boast this feature, so the camera has a separate dial to control this setting.

The device easily fits in the palm of your hand. Weight is only 381 grams. The joystick provides convenient menu navigation and allows you to select focus points. The "Q" button is used to call up the menu.

The X-T10 display is tilted. Its resolution is 920,000 pixels. Due to the shortcomings of the X-Trans sensor, the camera will not be able to provide amazing video quality.

The tilt of the display to both sides makes it easy to shoot from both low and high positions.

Behind the door on the left are connectors for connecting a microphone, HDMI and USB.

The memory card is placed under the same cover as the battery. The tripod mount is inconvenient. It is too close to the battery door. Because of this, it is not possible to change the battery or memory card while the camera is on a tripod.

Also, the tripod socket is located away from the axis of the lens.

The X-T10 image sensor is similar to that used in the flagship X-T1 model.

The Fujifilm X-T10 has a lot of manual settings, but the camera is aimed at entry-level and intermediate users. For those who want to shoot without special efforts or not sure in some shooting situations there is a switch to auto mode.

They introduced their first models earlier, but thanks to their own technical base and competent marketing, Fuji was able to occupy its niche in the market. Using the X line as an example, it is clear why the worship of one photosystem is called “religion” in slang - photographers fall in love with the picture, design, and original ergonomics. There is only one problem: all the charms of Fuji cameras are most concentrated in the flagship, which even today is unreasonably expensive (about 90 thousand rubles in a whale version). Cameras that are simpler than the series lose their charm, and the cheapest one (and the X-A2 that replaced it) cannot be distinguished from devices from other manufacturers. Fujifilm rightly thought about giving the market a camera that, on the one hand, would be relatively affordable, and on the other hand, retain strengths flagship model. So it appeared.

Even the index implies that we have a simplified version of the coolest Fuji. Usually, when a company's marketers appear, new series assigned a new letter to it, but here the letter remained the same, just a two-digit index. The gain in price turned out to be noticeable, in some trim levels it costs one and a half times cheaper than the older brother. It cannot be said that the price in absolute terms is low, but progress is still noticeable. It remains only to deal with what fell victim to the struggle for the economy, which is deprived in comparison with.

Housing, appearance

Fuji cameras love with their eyes - the signature retro design of older versions has become calling card series. It's good that the engineers were able to save it to the maximum. Chopped forms of pseudo-pentaprism, supposedly unpainted metal on top, textured rubber around the perimeter, even the shutter button and the one with a hole for the cable. There are a lot of photos on the Internet where they are placed next to old Fuji film cameras, and from a certain distance it is not so easy to distinguish who is who.

But you need to save. The case, although it looks cool, is very different from the manufacturing technology. It is plastic, while the flagship is based on a full-fledged magnesium chassis. In the specifications, you can sometimes find information that it also has a metal case, but this is not so. Enthusiasts have already opened the camera and made sure that the three magnesium plates simply reinforce the plastic construction. What looks like bare metal at the top of the camera is also plastic. Here even to study specifications no need - you take the camera in your hands and you understand that something is wrong. True, everything is assembled simply amazingly, you can’t dig into the connection of the elements and gluing the gum, but there is almost no thrill when the “noble” metal is in the hand. tactile sensations just a camera.

There are a couple more nuances. "One" is distinguished by powerful dust and moisture protection, the "ten" does not have it. There is no point in worrying too much about this. Protection, of course, is a good thing, but for a typical user, this is still overkill. If you are not a professional reporter who needs to shoot in any conditions, but an amateur, then you may not notice the lack of body protection.

But the difference in size and weight is simply impossible not to see. has become noticeably smaller and lighter, and this is the only good news regarding the case. The “ten” cannot be called a completely pocket camera (especially because of the long standard lenses) - you still have to buy a bag for it, but it is much smaller than not only DSLRs, but also its older brother. True, due to the reduction in the size of the body, the grip became a little worse, people with large palms have nowhere to attach the little finger of their right hand. This is partly offset by a thumb pad on the rear panel, the camera can be pressed well, and it does not slip out of the hand, but the length of the grip is still not enough. Not critical, but you can write down a minus in karma.

RX10

Camera FUJIFILM X-T10- this further development line of X-cameras from FUJIFILM, it is made in the style of the "big brother" X-T1 - the same brutal and angular, reminiscent of old film cameras:

Appearance FUJIFILM X-T10

At first glance, the cameras look the same, but if you put them side by side, the difference will still be noticeable:

Left - FUJIFILM X-T1, right - FUJIFILM X-T10

X-T10 smaller: 118.4 mm × 82.8 mm × 40.8 mm (versus 129.0 mm × 89.8 mm × 46.7 mm for the X-T1) and lighter: the camera weighs 381 grams (compared to 490 grams of the X-T1).

Even more differences are hidden inside. For starters, alas: X-T10 does not have dust and moisture protection, like X-T1. Further, the "pentaprism" actually cleverly hides the built-in pop-up flash (with a guide number of 5):

Built-in flash FUJIFILM X-T10 extended

Inclined screen X-T10 with a diagonal of 3 "has "only" 920 thousand pixels (against a million-odd in the older model):

tilt screen X-T10

And it's covered in plastic, not tempered glass like the X-T1. In theory, this means that the screen will be less protected from scratches, but several months of operation "both in the tail and in the mane" did not leave marks on it.

electronic viewfinder X-T10 has the same resolution as the X-T1 (2.36 megapixels), but it is noticeably inferior in size:

Size comparison of EVI X-T1 (left) and X-T10(on right)

However, I should note that this difference is noticeable only in such comparative pictures. Well, or if you alternately apply one or the other camera to the eye. However, even in this "reduced version", EVI X-T10 still remains one of the best in the class. And in size, and in resolution, and in the refresh rate of the image.

The X-T1 has a double control dial at the top left: ISO selection + shooting mode switch. And at X-T10 this place is occupied only by the shooting mode selector (single frame, slow burst, fast burst, panorama, bracketing, and so on):

The shooting mode dial FUJIFILM X-T10

More differences? For example, there are not 6 programmable buttons, like the X-T1, but one more - 7. The memory card slot is located not on the side, but at the bottom, in the battery compartment. By the way, this slot, alas, does not support high-speed SD UHS II cards.

Battery compartment and memory slot FUJIFILM X-T10

Some of the differences are completely invisible from the outside, but are very significant, in my opinion. And I will talk about them separately, a little lower.

If we talk about the speed and quality of photos / videos, there are no changes compared to the X-T1 (the lenses are the same, the matrix is ​​the same, the processor and software are also the same). Everything latest photos in this blog are made on this camera.

pros

1. All the same as the X-T1

Camera FUJIFILM X-T10 without lens

Because technically X-T10 basically repeats the X-T1 and is exactly the same brainchild of FUJIFILM, then this camera has all the main advantages that I keep saying, sometimes, from review to review:



Camera FUJIFILM X-T10 without lens

2. Small dimensions and weight

FUJIFILM X-T10 in hand

The camera is really quite small for its capabilities. Although the comparative picture does not show this in full, but in all dimensions X-T10 even a few millimeters, but more compact than even the very small Olympus OM-D E-M10 mk II, equipped with a smaller m4 / 3 sensor:

Left - Olympus OM-D E-M10 mkII, right - FUJIFILM X-T10

It is clear that even with such dimensions you cannot put the camera in your pocket. But I have been saying for a long time that this is not the case. And the fact that more lenses and all sorts of other things will fit into a bag or backpack with such a camera has long been proven in practice:

FUJIFILM X-T10 in bag with X-series lenses

Only the X-M1 has the smaller dimensions in the X-camera family with the X-Trans CMOS sensor. And even then, the most noticeable gain of 16.3 mm in height is achieved due to the absence of EVI and additional rotary switches:

Left - X-M1, right - X-T10

However, compactness has, alas, negative sides. X-T10 not so comfortable in the hand, especially with large lenses. Although I can’t say that it somehow noticeably bothered me during the filming.

3. advanced automation

FUJIFILM X-T10

I have noticed more than once that the automation of FUJIFILM cameras is one of the best. The camera itself quite competently determines the plots and the user only needs to press the button to get a good image. Before that, only the X-M1 (and the "junior" X-A1 and X-A2 equipped with a Bayer sensor) had fully automatic shooting modes for X-series cameras with interchangeable lenses. Now the intelligent Advanced SR AUTO mode is also available for X-T10, and it is turned on with a separate lever on the top panel (it is located directly below the exposure control dial):

Auto mode switch on the top panel

In this way, X-T10 becomes a dual-purpose camera: if you want to shoot using your own knowledge and skills, then you control how conventional camera(P/A/S/M modes), but if you need to put the camera in the hands of a beginner, then you just flip the lever to the Auto position and calmly give the camera away! A person can only press the shutter button. Simple and convenient.

By the way, at first I thought that this lever would most likely touch something on clothes or in a bag and the camera would automatically switch to the Auto position, but for several months of operation there was not a single unauthorized switching on of automation. That is, the location of the switch is not only convenient, but also thoughtful, verified.

4. Relatively low price

Camera FUJIFILM X-T10 with XF35mmF/1.4R lens

Haha, yes! It is clear, of course, that with our ruble exchange rate, all prices have become somehow unrealistic ... Alas, one cannot call them "low" anymore. But still, X-T10 sold significantly cheaper than the flagship, despite the fact that consumer properties he is marginally inferior to him. And in some ways it even wins (I'm talking about weight, dimensions and automation now).

minuses

1. Small buffer size

11 | 16mm | 1/100 | f/2.8 | ISO 1600 | RAW+LR | announcement of the results of the competition for the title of cake "Moscow"

Perhaps the most unpleasant sequester in X-T10 there was a noticeable truncation of the buffer size relative to the older model ... Now, if you shoot in RAW + JPEG, then it is only enough for 7-8 shots! It is this moment, and not, for example, the work of autofocus, that imposes severe restrictions when shooting dynamic scenes and reports where a large number of takes are required.

12 | 16mm | 1/100 | f/2.8 | ISO 4000 | RAW+LR | announcement of the results of the competition for the title of cake "Moscow"

In part, this problem could be slightly smoothed out by a slot for SD UHS II memory cards, like the older brother X-T1. But he, as we remember, also fell victim to "cost cuts."

Still, of course, shooting only in JPEG helps - here the camera can do endless series with almost no plugging until the memory card is full, especially if you select the low burst speed mode (3 frames per second). Fortunately, JPEG from FUJIFILM is traditionally very good, and I noticed that very often I began to give it to customers, even without corrections in Lr. However, RAW is RAW, in difficult shootings you still can’t do without it. Therefore, a small buffer X-T10 It's a big sadness...

2. Small ISO range when shooting in RAW

Display X-T10 in camera settings display mode

Now at X-T10 when shooting in RAW, the sensor sensitivity can vary from 200 to 6400 ISO. In principle, these are good indicators. But life does not stand still, there are new cameras and new lenses that change the standards in this area - including.

The lower threshold (ISO 200) no longer looks so convenient, especially when shooting with fast or ultra-fast lenses with a fully open aperture, for example. Partly here it saves the shutter speed margin - the electronic shutter is able to shoot at 1/32000 of a second. But even such a short shutter speed does not always allow you to open the aperture of the same 56 / 1.2 as much as possible for shooting portraits with a small depth of field on a sunny day.

The upper threshold (quite working ISO 6400) looked very good a couple of years ago, but now it has faded against the background of new cameras with working ISOs in the region of 102.400 units ... And here even ultra-fast third-party lenses with maximum aperture f/0.95!

In principle, when shooting in JPEG, X-T10 ISO extension available from 100 to 51.200 units. But same only for JPEG! Even though FUJIFILM has an excellent one, even if it’s beautiful, it’s still a JPEG. In complex shooting, you still need RAW, whatever one may say.

additionally

1. X-T10 does not support battery grip

I made this point separately, because I don’t see a particular minus in it. As, however, there is no plus here either. Yes, the X-T1 has a very handy battery grip that doubles the battery life and improves the grip of the camera, which is especially useful when shooting with large lenses. But X-T10, like other modern X-series cameras, in my opinion, there are no problems with the duration of operation - one battery is almost always enough for me for a day (on average I manage to take 400-500 frames, sometimes more, less often, and the charge is still there). And I increased the "grip" of the camera under my rake with big hands due to the additional grip (which is designed in such a way that it does not interfere with changing batteries and memory cards):

FUJIFILM X-T10 with attached additional handle

This handle, by the way, has one small drawback that annoys me from time to time: sometimes the fastening screw starts to spontaneously loosen and you have to reach into your pocket for a coin to tighten it.

2. Video

Everything is the same as the X-T1, X-E2 and other FUJIFILM cameras, there is no particular reason to repeat.

3. WiFi

Camera Remote app

I will say it again, because it is important, in my opinion. Finally, in the new firmware, they figured it out and now the connection is very fast. Although still quite intricate: first you need to turn on the WiFi function on the camera, then connect your smartphone to the network, then run the program on it and connect the camera to it. But now all the steps are going fast! Hooray! This is very pleasing. The function of full control of the camera via WiFi significantly expands the range of applications of the camera, from banal selfies to remote shooting in hard-to-reach places.

Some Conclusions

FUJIFILM X-T10 with XF18-55mmF/2.8-4.0R lens

To be honest, at first I was quite skeptical: they say, why do we need such a truncated version of the flagship? What's the win? Well, except perhaps the price. Which in itself is important, of course, but clearly not enough for a separate model. But then, after prolonged use X-T10, I realized what the charm of this camera is. Compact dimensions, low weight - and all with an almost complete set of functions of the top model, up to external similarity. Plus, extremely easy to activate automation, which allows you to shoot even for those who do not know, and do not want to know anything about the camera settings! This is, of course, an obvious, but very useful feature. And now it is strange that it did not appear on all the other X-series cameras.

I.e, X-T10, as I mentioned above - a dual-purpose camera. On the one hand, this is a serious camera, which, in terms of its characteristics, competes with other full-frame and SLR cameras. On the other hand, it is also a camera for those who want to press only one button. If the first side was previously available to all buyers of X-series cameras, then the second is only for those who took the very truncated X-M1 / X-A2.

FUJIFILM X-T10 with XF27mmF/2.8 lens

The conclusion, perhaps, is this. X-T10- a typical family camera that you can carry around with you all the time: small, light (especially with a 27 mm pancake), high quality and giving excellent results in the hands of both an advanced user and a beginner. The combination is not very common on the market, by the way.

Fujifilm's X-series camera lineup has expanded with the new X-T10, which is a more compact and affordable version of the mirrorless X-T1, but no less interesting. The X-T10 is similar in many ways to the X-T1, but if you put them side by side and look closely, you'll notice some differences.

The X-T10 is compact and made from durable magnesium alloy. Controls - stylish corrugated aluminum discs for adjusting shutter speed, exposure compensation and shooting mode selection; there are also seven functional customizable buttons. At the same time, the camera retained the sharp and angular edges of the X-T1. As for the differences between the X-T10 and X-T1 in terms of weight and size, the novelty is 8 mm thinner and 5 mm shorter than its predecessor, and also weighs 13% less (380 g compared to 490 g X-T1). It also features a less protruding front grip handle. Unfortunately, the X-T10 doesn't inherit the X-T1's water and dust resistance, as well as a wide range of accessories, including a vertical grip. However, this is not surprising, given the focus of the product.

One of the main features of the novelty is a fully automatic mode, which can be activated in one switch. It is intended for less literate photographers, who are the main target audience this "mirrorless". The dedicated ISO switch from the X-T1 to the X-T10 has been replaced by a shooting mode switch. You can also find a new ejectable flash built into the viewfinder ridge, but the guide number is low at 7 meters at ISO 200. The flash is activated by a spring-loaded lever located on the left, its brightness is automatically adjusted, which saves battery power.

The novelty is equipped with a tilting 3-inch LCD display with a resolution of 920,000 dots on the rear panel. It supports Preview Pic Effect - a mode that shows natural images. Using the screen, it is equally convenient to shoot by holding the camera near the ground or overhead. The memory card is placed under the same cover as the battery. The tripod mount is inconvenient. It is too close to the battery door. Because of this, it is not possible to change the battery or memory card while the camera is on a tripod. Behind the door on the left are connectors for connecting a microphone, HDMI and USB.

The electronic viewfinder uses a 2.36 million-dot OLED-type panel, as is the case with the X-T1, which features Organic EL technology to enhance clarity and contrast. The brightness of the image in it is adjusted automatically. The built-in gyroscope measures the orientation of the picture in the viewfinder depending on the position of the camera; note that this is not possible in cameras with an optical viewfinder. It is worth noting that the outstanding viewfinder with a magnification factor of x0.77 (the largest among digital cameras) was one of the most essential elements X-T1; The X-T10's viewfinder is also good, but falls a bit short of the X-T1's due to its smaller size and lower zoom ratio. The viewfinder itself has a proximity sensor, in order to be activated when a person starts using it.

The heart of the Fujifilm X-T10 is a 16.3MP X-Trans™ CMOS II sensor with built-in phase detection autofocus, which offers both single-point and 49-point focusing. According to the manufacturer, this solution improves the results of shooting moving objects. In addition, the camera allows you to shoot in bursts up to 8 frames per second. The matrix uses a color filter with an irregular structure. It minimizes color distortion and moire without the use of a low-pass optical filter, allowing you to increase the amount of light penetrating the matrix. So the image quality of the X-T10 should be on par with the more expensive X-T1.

The sensor is complemented by a powerful EXR II processor. Processor-level noise reduction ensures sharper images with deep blacks even at high ISO settings. The Fujifilm X-T10 has an ISO value of up to 51200. In addition, the model implements Light Modulation Optimization (LMO) to correct diffraction and other distortions, with a delay between shutter releases up to 0.05 s, and between frames - 0.5 s . electronic shutter works silently.

The 77-point AF system can be used in single-point mode or in wide-angle/tracking mode with 3×3, 3×5 or 5×5 zones of the photographer's choice. The shutter speed range is from 1/4000 to 30 s. The Fujifilm X-T10 can shoot Full HD video at up to 60fps; in this case, film simulation modes are also supported, and you can adjust the exposure, aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity and adjust the focus (manually or automatically). The camera has a built-in wifi module with support for 802.11b/g/n standards, providing data transfer at speeds up to 36 Mbps and shooting control from a smartphone or tablet connected to the Fujifilm X-T10. Without recharging the battery, the X-T10 can take 350 shots, which is the same as the result of the X-T1.

Among useful features Fujifilm X-T10 note Auto Macro - automatically switching the camera to macro mode while maintaining the speed of autofocus. Multiple exposure capabilities are supported, allowing two objects to be combined in one photo, for example, adding people to the picture, Focus Peaking (digital separation of the image for precise manual focusing and highlighting the focus center) and interval shooting. The "feature" of the model is effects that mimic the shades of traditional Fujifilm films, and artistic filters.

Conclusions:

What do we have in the dry residue? The X-T10 model did not inherit dust and moisture protection from the X-T1, at the same time, the novelty offers 90% of the capabilities of the flagship X-T1 for 60% of its cost. It is worth noting the most powerful tracking autofocus, similar to the development of Nikon's 3D tracking and Sony A6000 autofocus. The camera is aimed at entry-level and intermediate level users.
