The following table provides an overview of the physical sensor characteristics, as well as the sensor quality measurements for a selection of comparators. Many modern cameras cannot only take still pictures, but also record videos. The two cameras under consideration both have sensors whose read-out speed is fast enough to capture moving pictures, but the XS provides a faster frame rate than the X Beyond body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a range of features. For example, the XS has an electronic viewfinder k dots , while the X10 has an optical one.
Both systems have their advantages, with the electronic viewfinder making it possible to project supplementary shooting information into the framing view, whereas the optical viewfinder offers lag-free viewing and a very clear framing image. The following table reports on some other key feature differences and similarities of the Fujifilm X10, the Fujifilm XS, and comparable cameras. The X10 is equipped with a zoom lens , while the XS comes with a built-in prime.
Hence, the X10 provides a wider angle of view at the short end, as well as more tele-photo reach at the long end than the XS. Both cameras offer the same maximum aperture. For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process.
The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Fujifilm X10 and Fujifilm XS and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras and selected comparators provide for accessory control and data transfer. Both the X10 and the XS have been discontinued , but can regularly be found used on eBay. Further information on the two cameras e.
So what conclusions can be drawn? Is one clearly better than the other? A synthesis of the relative strong points of each of the models is listed below.
If the number of relative strengths bullet points above is taken as a guide, the XS emerges as the winner of the match-up 11 : 8 points. However, the relevance of individual strengths will vary across photographers, so that you might want to apply your own weighing scheme to the summary points when reflecting and deciding on a new camera.
A professional wedding photographer will view the differences between cameras in a way that diverges from the perspective of a travel photog, and a person interested in cityscapes has distinct needs from a macro shooter. Hence, the decision which camera is best and worth buying is often a very personal one. How about other alternatives? Do the specifications of the Fujifilm X10 and the Fujifilm XS place the cameras among the top in their class?
In any case, while the comparison of technical specifications can provide a useful overview of the capabilities of different cameras, it says little about, for example, the shooting experience and imaging performance of the X10 and the XS in practical situations. User reviews, such as those found at amazon , can sometimes inform about these issues, but such feedback is often incomplete, inconsistent, and biased. This is why expert reviews are important. As can be seen, the professional reviewers agree in many cases on the quality of different cameras, but sometimes their assessments diverge, reinforcing the earlier point that a camera decision is often a very personal choice.
The review scores listed above should be treated with care , though. The assessments were made in relation to similar cameras of the same technological generation.
The shutter speed dial works nicely and can easily be turned with your thumb. The exposure compensation dial has somewhat weak click stops but you soon learn to be careful and avoid that it turns too far for you. There is no command dial here. The aperture is set on the aperture ring and the shutter speed on the shutter speed dial, and ISO with the four way controller.
Don't look for a grip for your thumb on the X because there isn't one! The X10 is better also in this area. The tripod mount on the X is off the optical axis but to the wrong side. When the camera is mounted on a tripod there is no access to the battery and SD card which both are located behind the door in the bottom plate. Fujifilm probably realized this since they got it right on the X You cannot fault the image quality of the X Note thet the X has a traditional sensor with square pixels in the Bayer pattern and therefore doesn't have the resolution issues that the X10 exhibits.
The do not contain the exact same crop from the scene. X original image 4. X10 original image 4. As mentioned earlier we find the X too quirky to use, and if image quality is of the essence, we would pick an entry level DSLR with a prime lens instead.
For a compact versatile camera to be used primarily in auto exposure mode, the X10 fits the bill. Fuji has adopted an interesting marketing strategy with these two cameras: to send out shipments to retailers in small bursts, so that the cameras are frequently out of stock. Chances are that each shipment will sell out within a day or so of arriving:.
