Fujifilm X-T10
Fujifilm’s affordable new SLR-style X-series camera promises to be a little beauty
he big challenge for camera manufacturers introducing a model beneath an existing one is to give the new arrival appeal without wiping out the attraction of the original camera. I think Fujifilm has done a remarkably good job with the X-T10. Its price is attractive, and significantly lower than the current street price of the X-T1, yet the overall build and feel of the new camera is very similar.
The main differences between the X-T10 and the X-T1 are the lack of weatherproofing, the smaller electronic viewfinder and the loss of the sensitivity dial. The traditional exposure controls are present, along with many of the features of the X-T1 (not least the sensor and processing engine), so there’s still plenty to offer enthusiast photographers. Meanwhile, novices get a bit more help
Twith a more obvious route to the drive modes and a fully automatic override switch that puts the camera in control of exposure, white balance and colour.
The X-T10 feels solid and has retro charm. This is combined with a highquality viewfinder and what looks like a capable autofocus system (although we need to test this properly to be sure).
The X-T10 promises to be a great camera for those wanting to get more serious about their photography, or a useful back-up camera for pros and serious enthusiasts with an X-T1.
The same sensor and processing engine as the X-T1; traditional controls; Wi-Fi connectivity.
There’s no weatherproofing and it’s not a dramatic size reduction compared with the X-T1.
