Fujifilm X10 - what makes it so special (in 2023)?

Fujifilm X10 is a very special camera for me. This is the camera that started my love for Fujifilm cameras. The Fuji X10 is small and incredibly well built. The lens is bright and super high quality. Although the Fuji X10 is not perfect in every way and has a rather small sensor the camera is magical. For some reason what would be traditionally considered shortcomings or problems become properties that only add to the character of Fuji X10. This Fuji is a photographers' camera. It is for those who want the old school experience and enjoy the process of photography as much (or even more) as the results. The controls on Fuji X10 camera are as good as you'd find in pro cameras. And the camera comes in a full leather case. You cannot go wrong with Fujifilm X10. In this video I talk about what makes the Fuji X10 stand out from the pack. I'm showing sample images of Fujifilm X10 as well that I took during a hike on a very nice spring day.

So happy to see this in 2023. I reluctantly traded in my Canon SLR for this model when it came out as I needed money to get through my art degree. It’s always been reliable and a joy to use, and even more now I have a family of my own to document. It means so much to me. Thank you for your video.

Still using mine. Fuji dropped the ball here, . They should return to this model design, with larger sensor. One of my best photojournalism cameras.

Hello Tom
First of all, thank you very much for your great video!
You spoke from the heart, I am still traveling with my beloved X10 and would never give it up!
The look of this great camera is far too beautiful and unique!
Greetings from Switzerland

Great video, shots & commentary. Thanks for sharing!

[marcelom]

Great video for a great camera! I have an X20 since its launch, and taking photos with this camera is a real pleassure, is like to come back to the analog era! Thanks a lot!

I have this camera since 2012 and love it. I also have a Sony dslr, but a trip with the x10 is a joy. My companion.

[BlissCigarCo]

Still have mine purchased when they came out and still the best of all my cams since then.

This was my first Fuji. Still regret selling it now. Missed it and the feeling it gave me. As I discovered it quite early into my photography journey I massively under appreciated it.

I just found one in our storage closet and my husband has no recollection on who gave it to him - I assume a friend who didn't want it years ago but I am sooo happy to try it out. Kinda what I have been looking for for a while. This video stoked a fire in me to get the battery charger!

I have the X10 and after searching for a filter I found the following from Amazon uk is perfect. It fits beautifully and allows the lens cap to slide on as well. Very pleased.

Just pick up an x10 and hold it in your hands and you will immediately understand why this is a cherished camera. Small yet SOLID. This is no toy. This is old world quality.

I took mine out with me this morning for a walk down the river. I popped the memory card in my phone and took a look at the images. Yet again I was blown away by the quality. The bnw have a magic to them. I will never sell mine. I wonder if the x30 has the same magic l?

You said the RAWs were awkward here, but i’ve heard at least a few people say that it has exceptional RAWs that provide a great degree of manipulation / flexibility.

This is a nice video. Similarly to que XQ2, it also got offered more that I paid a couple of years ago; so I sold it. I now migght give the X10 a try.

[asei]

I just get this camera, so so good, loved it!

[ericj.w.ruijssenaars]

Found one second hand many years ago. Still one of my favorite camera's to use!
While the lenshood/52mm UV filter combo that came with it works okay, I found an old Petri 40.5 mm Skylight filter not to long ago. Fits like a glove, and being of a very flat design, it adds almost nothing to the front of the lens.

[zakmorris]

I actually done EXACTLY what you described - about hiking alone with the camera. It was such an amazing experience, it inspired my love for photography.

Such a great camera. It needs a remake.

[giriyoong]

Thanks Tom, very encouraging, just sold my XT20, yesterday.this coming Saturday will buy this camera.

[fraserp]

I bought my X10 cheap with dust on the sensor in order to clean, try out of interest and flip for a small profit. I didn't expect anything better than my smartphone, but I was so wrong. The process of using it, the wonderful images, the lens, and the portable size. Some people say the optical viewfinder is useless, I find it so nostalgic I love using it. Your videos really sum up how I feel about this camera in a really poetic way. Great job

[CharlyDS]

What a beautiful homage to this little camera. I remember using it a lot (bought it used myself many years ago) but not recently. Sorta lost to the utilitarian smartphone and its bokkeh/easy sharing promises. This video inspired to me do to a trip to nature and take a lot of nice, brilliant pictures. Thanks!
