Fujifilm X10 questions answered

By Molly McHugh Published 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.

The best point-and-shoot cameras

Sony RX100 VI review

The point-and-shoot category encompasses everything from pocketable cameras to hefty superzooms, and the Sony RX100 VII comfortably bridges the gap between them. It fits a relatively large 1-inch-type sensor into a pocketable form factor and still manages to stick on a 8× zoom lens. Beyond that, it includes a wealth of advanced features that will make it attractive to even the most experienced photographers (and videographers), while being easy enough to use for beginners as well.

But the RX100 VII doesn't come cheap, and there are a number of other great cameras that may be better suited to specific situations.

Fujfilm X-T200 vs. Fujifilm X-T30: A close call

The Fujifilm X-T200 is Fujifilm's way of offering photographers a dose of the X-series experience in an entry-level mirrorless camera. But for a few hundred dollars extra, you could get the mid-range X-T30. Before deciding which one is right for you, let's put them side by side and look at what you're getting in terms of performance.

Sony A6100 vs. Fujfilm X-T200: Best beginner mirrorless cameras compared

The Fujifilm X-T200 and Sony A6100 both target the beginner photographer, but despite being entry-level cameras, they have some features we would expect to find on flagship models. That's great news for those on a tighter budget who still want a capable camera that will last for years. But when it comes to picking between the two, which is one the better investment?

Before the X-T200, the Sony A6100 easily trounced the older Fujifilm X-T100. While image quality was more or less equal, the A6100 was the better camera in almost all other aspects save design (which is more of a personal preference, anyway). But with the X-T200, Fujifilm has placed a true competitor on the board -- so much so, we can no longer say that the A6100 is the easy choice.
