FUJIFILM X10: Fuji's HIDDEN GEM (with photo samples)

Since we've been on a hype this year with so many new and expensive cameras, I've decided to go back in time and pick up one of Fujifilm's hidden gems, a sub $100 beauty of a camera that's gonna save you some cheddar!

Follow the vibe:

get yourself a $25 Toshiba FlashAir SD card. :) You'll be able to transfer the pictures to your phone in seconds and that will give you the workflow you miss compared to a smartphone. I have two X10s and will keep them until the stop working.

In EXR mode the camera splits the sensor and combines two 6 megapixel images. That might be why you found its images to be subpar compared to a phone.
In all the other modes you get a full 12 megapixel image.

Damn that camera now is like $3-400. Wish I could find one for $100

I've owned X10 since it's release, and it's still the Only camera i own till today, i'm not too big on photography, but it gives me a good images of my travel, day to day activities with families, etc that i ever need for my personal collection.

There is no need to even upgrade when it still gives me a good photography! i can easily upgrade to Leica or what not, but X10 been with me for over 10 years, and it's my best little camera!~

Set the image size to M
DDR to 400%

Skip the EXR mode now you are in EXR all of the time. Use P, A, S, M with the above settings and watch the magic happen.

Once had one, sold it for a Nikon D5100, then I bought a Fuji XE-2, then I bought a Fuji XT-1, which is still my current camera. I think I want a Fuji X-10 again!

I came across this camera last week in a pawnshop for $120, went back a couple of days later and snatched it up. They are still listing for over $300 on ebay in 2021. I remember when all these fuji's came out, i wanted one, but a little pricey, I really liked the form factor and sample shots. I ended up finding a mint Sony RX1rii fixed 35mm f2.0 and that ran me $2000. I love that camera, but the X10 i can take with me everyday keep on my neck and not be worried about banging up or losing a $4, 000 camera.

I brought myself an X-T10 over the Christmas period just so to lighten my load what difference the older model of the camera really makes the experience is seriously satisfying.

Those samples look better than any phone pic ive ever seen

[pulseimages]

If you can’t get good images from this camera it’s honestly user error. I’ve seen X10 images that looked as good as it’s APS-C counterparts.

I gave this camera as a gift to my daughter when it was brand new. 6 months ago, she gave it back to me having never used it. The camera is really nice to carry around. While I have other Fuji gear, this small camera is now in my bag all the time. Nice review and quite accurate.

[williamkelly]

This is my everyday camera. And, although I love my iPhone, the 4x zoom on the X10 makes it worth it for me. The only drawback is that you need 2 hands to turn it on 😂

[DanFarrar]

Cool little camera. Thanks for sharing the experience

[kiwipics]

Try the X30 ... WiFi, flip screen etc
The X10 can actually put out better end products than most cameras in phones.

[lueniopue]

Stunning photos... Looks like a great little camera I have to try one day

[wolfgangwu]

Yeah, it's a hidden gem. But I just sold it and bought an original version of X100, just because the sensor size is 2/3 inch vs apsc size - the latter times bigger. I do agree, though, that when holding X10 in hand, I always felt it nice and a pleasure to play with, the metal top and lens cap, the small but zoom lens with big 2.0 aperture, and the cold feel of the metal lens cap ...

The specs are not outdated. From a 90's POV this camera is straight out of science fiction.

1) great video.
2) love that little background you use behind your image samples
3) you have the coolest hats of any youtuber. It’s stamped

[TomVestvik]

Got one since 2012. It’s a bit tired now, but I still love it. Bought a X30 used, a couple of years ago to replace it. That love isn’t quite as strong.

I was able to repair an old X10 Camera that had a Focus Error. Was able to Tear Down the camera, remove and clean the Lends Unit. Now it works perfectly and is in great condition. A great buy for EUR90. Complements my X30 and X100T. Looks better than the others, is smaller than the others, so easy to take everywhere. Love Fuji cameras and their Film Simulations in 2023.
