Posted on by

Its images are attractive, its video quality superb and it’s engaging to shoot with. The Fujifilm X-S10 is an excellent generalist photographers’ camera. It has great image quality, strong video quality and features, and fast burst speeds for capturing fast action. Which one should you buy?

Conclusion from DPReview:

As you might expect, the X-T4 is at least a little bit better in almost every respect than the X-S10. Its list price is 70% higher, after all. However, given they offer the same image quality and very similar AF performance, it’s reasonable to consider whether you need all the bigger camera’s firepower.

The X-T4’s greater capabilities make it the clear choice if you’re at all interested in shooting video that you plan to color grade and edit, but the X-S10 is still a very capable video camera. If you want a stills camera to really enjoy or that will stand up to some abuse, the larger viewfinder, more numerous control points and more rugged build again hold a lot of attraction. But it’s hard to deny that the X-S10 is an absolute bargain and, for a lot of people, an X-S10 and an extra lens might be the more attractive combination.
