Introduction

The Fujifilm XF10 is a premium compact camera with a 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor, ISO range of 200-12800 (extendable to 100-51200), fixed 28mm f/2.8 lens, 3-inch touchscreen LCD, Bluetooth and Wi-fi connectivity, 4K video recording at 15fps, 4K burst shooting mode, 11 Fujifilm Film Simulations and 19 Advanced Filters, 1:1 Square Mode, dual control dials, lens control ring and a thumb-operated joystick, all in a body that weighs just 280g and can fit inside a coat pocket.

The Fujifilm XF10 is available now in Champagne Gold or Black priced at £449 / $499.

Ease of Use

The Fujifilm XF10 is the spiritual successor to the Fujifilm X70 camera from 2016, which also sported a large APS-C sensor and 28mm fixed lens in a compact body. Indeed, the XF10 actually inherits exactly the same 18.5mm f/2.8 Fujinon lens that the X70 employed, now pairing it with a 24 megapixel Bayer CMOS sensor that's the same as the one found in the X-T100 and X-A5 mirrorless cameras, with the same no-name image processor on-board too.

Fujifilm have ditched the X70's articulated screen and flash hotshoe in order to make the XF10 even smaller, so that it now rivals the popular Ricoh GR in size and weight. These are the only two cameras currently available that combine such a large sensor with such a compact body.

Unlike the X70, which launched with a number of optional accessories including an optical viewfinder, lens hood, wide conversion lens and case, the XF10 is devoid of any official add-ons, save the rather poor quality clip-on lens cover and much better leather wrist-strap that ships in the box.

Subsequently there's no way to fit a viewfinder to the XF10, making it entirely an at arms' length shooting experience, which may well suit people upgrading from a smartphone, but probably won't best please enthusiast photographers.

On the other hand, the XF10 is a very customisable camera considering its "budget" price-point, with not one but two control dials plus a lens control ring, all of which can be customised to suit your particular way of shooting. Throw in a dedicated shooting mode dial, customisable rear Function button and the thumb-operated AF joystick, and it's certainly possible to setup the XF10 to operate like a much more advanced camera.

The Fujifilm XF10 is fairly well-built, in spite of its all-plastic construction, with little discernible flex or movement in its chassis. It's by far the smallest and lightest APS-C sensor camera in the Fujifilm range, weighing in at just 280g with the NP-95 battery and memory card fitted and measuring 112.5 (W) mm x 64.4 (H) mm x 41.0 (D) mm, making it well-suited to being slipped into a coat/jacket pocket.

The XF10 has a fixed 28mm-equivalent lens with a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8. In combination with the extensive ISO range of 200-12800, the lens' 9-blade aperture and the large APS-C sensor, this makes it easy to throw the background out of focus and achieve some lovely bokeh effects.

The XF10 is well suited to low-light shooting, allowing you to hand-hold the camera in places where you'd usually be reaching for a tripod (if allowed) or other support. Note that this camera does not feature built-in optical image stabilisation, although we didn't miss it too much due to the short focal length.

The XF10 utilises a leaf-shutter rather than the focal-plane shutter that DSLR cameras have. This is a small circular shutter that's built into the lens itself, the chief benefit being near-silent operation. To make the camera even less obtrusive, there's a Sound & Flash menu option which enables you to turn off the speaker, flash, AF-assist lamp and most importantly the artificially-created shutter-release sound, instantly making the XF10 perfectly suited to more candid photography.

The mechanical shutter has a top speed limit of 1/4,000th second, which means that we ran into some over-exposure issues in bright sunlight when shooting in aperture and shutter priority modes wide-open at f/2.8. The XF10 doesn't feature a built-in Neutral Density filter, so you'll have to either stop-down the aperture and sacrifice some depth-of-field to avoid blowing out the highlights, or switch to the electronic shutter, which provides a much faster top shutter speed of 1/16,000th second.

At the heart of the XF10 is a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor. APS-C is a size that's more commonly used by DSLR or mirrorless cameras than by your average compact, being about 10x bigger than those found in most compacts and 15x larger than those in smartphones. It promises to deliver image quality that's at least on par with much bigger cameras, and as our test photos and sample images show on the next two pages, the XF10 can certainly live up to that promise.

The XF10 offers 4K video recording, but only at a platry 15fps, which leads to some seriously jerky footage. Thankfully it can also record full 1080p movies at 60fps, 50fps, and 24fps with stereo sound. There's also high speed recording between 1.6-4x, but only at 720p HD quality. If you're wondering where on earth the video shooting mode is, it's buried at the bottom of the Drive menu, accessed via the dedicated button on the rear of the camera. It should really be on the shooting mode dial...

You can set the aperture, shutter speed and ISO during recording, and you can also set the Film Simulation mode, so black and white footage is possible. Continuous auto-focusing is possible, and you can manually focus too, which encourages some more creative effects. There is a 2.5mm stereo mic jack and a HDMI port for connecting the X100T to a high-definition TV, although as usual there's no cable supplied in the box.

The XF10 is the latest X-series camera to feature touchscreen control. The Touch Screen Mode menu option offers 4 choices - Off, Touch Shooting, AF and Area. Touch Shooting sets the focus and takes the picture with one touch of the screen, AF chooses the focus area and activates the auo-focus, while Area just selects the focus area (our preferred option). In addition, during playback you can swipe, drag, pinch in/out, and double-tap to review your images, although rather annoyingly you can't control the menu system.

There's a fairly generously sized hand-grip at the front of the X70 that's coated in a faux leatherette material, and a prominent rubber thumb-rest on the rear. One small metal eyelet on the side of the body is used for connecting the supplied wrist strap. A metal tripod mount is positioned off-centre from the lens towards the shared memory card / battery compartment, so annoyingly you do have to remove the camera from the tripod to change either of them.

The XF10 has a fast hybrid AF system with both a conventional contrast-detection system and built-in Phase Detection pixels. There's a 35-point Single Point mode for high speed and precision focusing, and Zone and Wide/Tracking modes that use a larger 91-point area to capture moving subjects.

The Fujifilm XF10 only offers way of composing your images, using the high-resolution 3-inch LCD monitor on the back, which has 1,040k dots and offers 100% scene coverage. The LCD screen has a handy Info view which presents all of the key settings at once, or you can switch to the Standard or Custom Live View modes, with the latter offering 14 customisable options. The completely configurable Quick View screen, opened via the Q button on the rear, provides quick access to 16 frequently used shooting settings including the ISO speed, White Balance, File Size and File Quality, with the AF joystick and rear command dial used to quickly change them.

The Fujifilm XF10 In-hand

The XF10 features enhanced built-in wi-fi connectivity. Install the FUJIFILM Camera Remote App and you can transfer your pictures immediately to a smartphone or tablet PC and then edit and share them as you wish, transfer stills and video onto the camera, and embed GPS information in your shots from your smartphone.

You can also control the camera remotely, with the list of available functions including Touch AF, shutter release for stills and movies, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, ISO sensitivity, Film Simulation modes, White Balance, macro, timer and flash. The built-in wi-fi also provides a simple means to backup your photos to your home PC.

Additionally, the XF10 can be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. This has the advantage that the camera and smartphone will automatically connect with each other (if Bluetooth is enabled on both) when the Camera Remote app is opened, a process that only takes about 5 seconds. If you enable "Auto Image Transfer On", the latest batch of images will be automatically transferred to your smartphone.

Image Quality

All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 24 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 9Mb.

The Fujifilm XF10 produces images of excellent quality. It recorded noise-free JPEG images at ISO 200 all the way up to 3200, with a little noise at ISO 6400 and more visible noise and slight colour desaturation at the faster settings of ISO 12800 and 25600, an amazing performance for a camera with an APS-C sensor. The RAW files were also excellent, exhibiting more noise but still producing very usable images from ISO 200-6400.

The night photograph was excellent, with the maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds being long enough for most after-dark shots, and the Bulb mode allowing much longer exposures if required. The Dynamic Range settings subtly improve detail in the shadows and highlights, while the Film Simulation modes hark back to a bygone era and the Advanced Filters allow you to get creative with your images before taking the shot.

Noise

There are 10 ISO settings available on the Fujifilm XF10 for JPEGs, and 7 for RAW files. Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting for both JPEG and RAW files.

Night

The Fujifilm XF10's maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds and there's also a Bulb mode for exposures up to 60 minutes in length, which is excellent news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 30 seconds at ISO 200.

Conclusion

The new Fujifilm XF10 is a largely successful attempt to woo both smartphone upgraders and serious enthusiasts, ultimately satisfying both camps thanks to the combination of excellent image quality and diminutive size. The pairing of an APS-C sensor with the excellent fixed lens makes the XF10 more than capable of producing images every bit as good as Fujifilm's more expensive X-series cameras.

Employing the same sensor and image processor as the X-T100 and X-A5 mirrorless cameras means that the XF10 delivers excellent quality images, despite using a Bayer sensor rather than the more premium X-Trans sensor used in the higher-end X-series models. The XF10 also uses exactly the same high-quality 28mm fixed lens that the X70 featured, with the fast f/2.8 aperture and 9-blade aperture making it easy to create some lovely bokeh effects, whilst being sharp throughout the frame when stopped down.

In terms of its design, the XF10 pulls off the difficult trick of looking seemingly simple in order to avoid scaring off less experienced users, yet offering enough controls and customisation to satisfy more demanding shooters. I did miss having a built-in viewfinder, having to ignore the tendency to hold the camera up to eye-level, and I also missed the X70's tilting screen, but including both those things would inevitably make the XF10 much bigger and therefore more likely to be left at home.

There are a couple of notable rivals to the X70 which also use an APS-C sensor - the rather poorly received Nikon Coolpix A, which has now been discontinued, and the perenially popular Ricoh GR II. Neither of those cameras have a built-in viewfinder either and they both have lower-resolution 16 megapixel APS-C sensors, but they do offer user interfaces that are more geared towards an enthusiast level photographer. Ricoh are also strongly rumoured to be launching a new version of the GR camera at Photokina in a couple of weeks time.

Overall, the XF10 is a welcome addition to Fujifilm's expanding range of APS-C cameras, making its renowned image quality available to a wider-audience by lowering the price, but not forgetting the more experienced photographer looking for a pocket camera that can deliver the goods.

Fujifilm UK Press Release

Pocketable and covetable: Fujifilm introduce the new XF10, the ultra lightweight, travel-friendly premium compact camera.

Featuring an APS-C sized sensor and enhanced Bluetooth® connectivity, the XF10 allows photographers to transfer images direct-to-smartphone seamlessly after shooting.

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is proud to announce the launch of the FUJIFILM XF10, a premium compact digital camera with a high quality FUJINON 18.5mm* F2.8 fixed lens.  The camera features an APS-C sized sensor which is 14 times larger than the sensor in a standard smartphone. The XF10, which will be available in August 2018, includes all the hallmarks of the X Series system, combining simple manual operation with superior image quality and versatile picture-taking options.

The 24.2 megapixel APS-C sized sensor combined with FUJIFILM's proprietary colour reproduction technology allows the XF10 to produce high quality images that will suit a wide variety of needs.

In addition, the XF10 is the first X Series camera to feature a number of new functions.  It has an updated way to automatically transfer images to a smartphone and the "SQUARE MODE" which allows you to switch to 1:1 format with a single flick on the touchscreen, to name just two.

Despite its pocketable size and minimal weight of only 280g, thanks to the high quality components and new functionality, the XF10 is the perfect companion for smartphone users and photo enthusiasts alike.

Main Features

FUJIFILM's superior image quality, in a pocket size camera, weighing only 280g!

Equipped with an APS-C sized sensor, the XF10 has superior image quality and wide dynamic range. It produces sharp, high resolution images that are certain to fulfill the demands of any type of photographer.

High quality FUJINON lens covers a wide range of subjects from landscapes to snapshots.

The 18.5mmF2.8 FUJINON lens, equivalent to 28mm on 35mm format, ensures that every image is sharp from center to edges. The optical design of the lens is perfectly matched to the sensor in the XF10, meaning there is no compromise due to compact size.  The "Digital Teleconverter" function means the camera is capable of taking photos with equivalent focal lengths of 35mm & 50mm on a 35mm format.

Enhance your creativity with FUJIFILM’s unique Film Simulation and Advanced Filter modes.

The XF10 offers 11 Film Simulation Modes unique to Fujifilm and 19 Advanced Filters, including the two new Advanced Filters: “Rich & Fine” and “Monochrome [NIR]”. These modes will allow photographers to easily add artistic flair or film-like color tones to their photos. 

 "Rich & Fine" :

Recommended for food and other tabletop photography

Brighter and vivid colour at the centre; with slight shadows at four corners to emphasise subject

"Monochrome [NIR]"

Simulates Monochrome effect as taken by near-infrared cameras 

"SQUARE MODE"

Allows users to switch to 1:1 format with a single flick on the touchscreen.

The "SQUARE MODE" enhances compatibility with social media networks where 1:1 format has become the standard image format for posting photos. 

Both "4K Movie" and "High Speed Video" are available, meeting the increasing demand for advanced movie functions.
