Fujifilm X10 questions answered

By Molly McHugh September 8, 2011

Last week, Fujifilm announced the X10, its new entry to the X-series and first camera to follow the infamous X100. Given the splash its predecessor made and cult-like following its inspired, we knew there were bound to be plenty of questions about the X10. Fujifilm passed along a few answers to some of the initial queries about its new throw-back digital camera – and now we’re sharing them with you.

Q: Is there a neutral density filter built-in?
A: No.

Q: In HD video, is the whole sensor used, or a portion?
A: 16:9 aspect ratio of full sensor size is being used.

Q: Type of shutter?
A: Lens shutter (not a focal plane shutter like a DSLR [uses]).

Q: Length of barrel in telephoto zoom from body?
A: In the OFF position, the barrel protrudes 15/16”. At the WIDE (28mm) positions, it protrudes 1-5/8”. In the full extended TELE position, it protrudes 2-1/16”.

Q: High speed flash control?
A: Not available on the X10.

Q: Framing lines in viewfinder?
A: No.

Q: Magnification of viewfinder?

Fujifilm X100V vs. X100F: Should you upgrade to Fujifilm’s newest rangefinder?

The Fujifilm X100 series is a popular fixed-lens, hybrid rangefinder system now in its fifth generation. The new X100V comes with some much-needed improvements over the previous model, the X100F, while the overall look and feel remains largely the same.

A staple of the X100 series is the 23mm (35mm full-frame equivalent) f/2 prime lens, and this hasn't changed for the X100V. However, Fujifilm has redesigned the lens to make it sharper, something fans of the series have been waiting for since the original X100 in 2011. It's not the only new thing the X100V offers, but it's likely the biggest reason to upgrade. For photographers who were already satisfied with the X100F, though, is the new model worth it?

Fujifilm X-T4 vs. Sony A6600: Top APS-C mirrorless cameras compared

Fujifilm X-T4

That Fujifilm and Sony are now direct competitors for flagship APS-C mirrorless cameras is a bit strange.

A few years ago, you picked Sony if you liked high-tech gadgets with fast performance, and Fujifilm if you were a more traditional photographer who preferred a slower, methodical approach to image making but still wanted high-quality results. The companies targeted different customers, and their products were fine living in their respective bubbles.

Fujifilm X-T4 vs. Fujifilm X-T3: What to know before you upgrade

Fujifilm X-T4

We've finally had a chance to get our hands on the Fujifilm X-T4, and it's impressive to say the least. But how does it stack up to its predecessor, the X-T3, and which is right for you?

The X-T4 introduces several key improvements, including in-body image stabilization and a fully articulating monitor, but recycles the same sensor and processor from the X-T3. The older camera is also remaining in the lineup, now for a new low price. Both are excellent cameras, so here is what you need to know about their differences, and why we think the X-T4 is worth the premium price.
Finally, IBIS in an X-T camera
The biggest gripe from the Fuji faithful has long been that their X-series cameras lack image stabilization (well, except the upmarket Fujifilm X-H1). Finally, the cries have been answered and we can now enjoy in-body image stabilization (IBIS) in the X-T4. We would have loved to have seen this feature in the X-T3, but it looks like Fujifilm needed some extra time to develop its new IBIS system, which is completely different from the one used in the larger X-H1.
