Trying to find the perfect setup to suit your shooting style can easily become a work in progress. The ultra-portable and easy-to-handle Fujifilm X-S10 is a compact APS-C sensor mirrorless with more consumer-friendly dials than other members of the X Series family (the Fujifilm X-T and Fujifilm X-Pro), and it’s more affordable.
The high build quality of this camera is instantly obvious, and the tech inside the case doesn’t pull any punches either, with superb performance and color rendition from the X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor.
One of the best all-rounders in the APS-C mirrorless camera market right now in terms of performance, quality and value, the camera handles particularly well when an XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR lens is attached: the weight distribution of this camera and lens combination is almost perfect when you are moving around and taking photographs.
