Your tutorials really are the best in KZfaq. You just give us the details on how the camera functions and it helps me to be a better photographer. Thank you! - Geoff

thank you so much again. im constantly going back to this video for a reference on how to use some of the complicated settings. slowly but surely im getting it.

I love to hear the way you talk. Very good, precise information

Professional and well thought out once again, thank you !

Sir, you have my respect. Your voice and tone are unparalleled for such videos. I wish fuji takes your advice to design their menus.

I just got this camera today with the 33mm normal lens and I'm already loving it. Your video taught me some stuff I had not figured out yet, thanks for that.

This 2pt video is simply amazing, thank you!

Brilliant review 👏👏👏. It will help me a lot before buying. Review is not even the right word, rather it is a detailed guide. well thank you.

Excellent two videos - helped me immensely in my recent purchase of the X-S10.

Extremely useful ! Waiting to get my Fuji shipped. Your video and instructions is detailed yet to the point. Thanks and much appreciated.

I just watched all your videos of the Fuji X-S10, and the innovation I love most about the camera does not really get a mention (I think): It's the ability to access a lot more menu settings with the custom modes on the PASM dial than in the custom settings of any of the other Fuji cameras I have. It's not quite as complete as in the Ricoh GR III for example, but it still means that instead of being just a JPEG variation tool as with the previous Fuji custom modes, you can use it now to adapt to different shooting situations. So I have mine set to shooting panoramas, portraits, sport and street, something I was not able to do before as I can now change the shutter, the focus mode etc. etc. I think this deserves a separate video, as it is an awesome new feature!:) Alas, I don't have an X-T4, so I don't know if that was added there, but it certainly wasn't in the X100V, and it is by far the best new change in the X-S10 in my book!

You are sooo cool, I want to grow older and still into techy stuff! Your partner seems to be supportive too ;) Got this X-S10 preordered, have yet to test out all features.

Thanks for your high level review! Really appreciate! Now I'm 100% ready to buy this camera))))))

Thank you for a neat and straight forward analysis

Your reviews have always been good but they just keep getting better. I don’t plan on getting this camera but there were a few tips I can use on my X-H1 & XT4. Thanks for posting this video Maarten.

Hi Maarten, thank your very much for videos. I am coming from a X-T20 and just bought a X-S10 and I am so delighted:-)!!! The layout (PASM) is much more to my favour than the X-T20 dials. Especially I favour the 4 Custom settings. ( I always forgot something to set on the X-T20) Thanks to your videos I went configuring the camera. I am not always going along with your recommenations but it gave me a far better understanding of the parameters (the manual i too basic). Cheers Gerald

Brilliant video, thanks for posting. Have been an avid fuji user for sometime now and the layout of my XT3 AND XH1 suit my needs throughout. As well as being diagnosed with ASD I also struggle with my short term memory, so having the ISO, shutterspeed, etc quick to hand really suits me. I would be lying if I said that I am not a little bit worried about the new layout and also dedicating different dials to suit my photography. With that said, and once I have mastered the controls, I am really looking forward to getting out there and putting it through its paces. Please feel free to do a video in the future to support my needs :) Once again, thank you.

You’ve told me all I need to know, thankyou.

I believe that you are using proper terminology describing the lens in use as "my sample". Rather than calling it "my copy," usually used by other reviewers. We own production SAMPLES made by official manufacturer. Often, the "copy" means "fake." Like "Rolex" for $35.. Thank you for your excellent review.

Thank you for the wonderful video. Would you be able to do a video for Fuji X-S10 camera settings for snow pictures please?

18:25 _"don't buy a new camera if what you really need is more practice"_ Ha! Well said. I fit that description perfectly. I must admit that I suffer from what is either "gear envy" or "gear greed". I really should stick with my X-T30 and my small collection of primes but the X-S10 is tempting. It reminds me of my first experiences with a Canon DSLR (Rebel Xti I think) and how frustrating it was to miss so many photos as I tried to use a kit zoom for all situations. Having learned over the years, and seeing good stabilization options in cameras like this, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to "try again" with my original setup of just one zoom lens. Yup, I'm suffering from "gear greed" for sure! Thanks for the great videos on the X-S10. I've subbed.

Good advice. Especially about buying new cameras. Often, the excuse for money procrastination sounds like: I want to improve my photography. But when looking at the pictures taken with "outdated" previous cameras, it becomes obvious that there is still the ocean for improvement that has nothing to do with the camera or the lens. Often, the quality of "photography" screaming: Just get Nikon FM2 and start from the beginning. But... maybe a new, beautiful object in your hands will boost your inspiration for improvement..

I have really found everything I wanted to know about this camera in your execellent post! Thanks! I'm using Sony FF for last few years, and Sony doesn't have a few features I really need, like Focus bracketing for product photography for example. I have downloaded some RAF files for demonstration and have found very usefull to apply film curves in Capture One, that I'm using as main RAW developer. This film simulations are very good starting point for further tweeking and I'm impressed how this color management works. With Sony I always have an issue by transforming in sRGB for screen viewing. Not so by Fuji. Edited (and soft proofed) image is very similar if not indenticall to exported file. So, I have ordered X-s10 with 16-80. Your video has help me to make this decision.

Any chance of doing an updated review on this camera? Would like to see what you have to say about this camera now that you’ve had it for a while.

I'm interested of photography Sir.. Your video is helpful because im a beginner. Thanks to your vlog🍻💪

Your reviews always stand out. Very comprehensive and show a bright picture for everyone to understand. Thanks so much for that Maarten. Which camera you recomand for stills (landscapes, sunsets/sunrises, nature - flowers, trees - few portraits): Fuji X-T30 or the Fuji X-S10 or maybe other brand? Thanks a lot.

I’ve been using a Panasonic lumix fz1000 but have found that the bulk has me leaving it at home and just using the iPhone. I want to start carrying a more capable camera and the xs10 seems like a fit for a Fuji newbie looking to learn to do more than just Point and shoot. Thanks for all the info. (Enjoyed the vid… even though you had lego leafs 🙂)

For those of us not familiar with all the labyrinths of this menu, please, please explain the rout to the settings. (OK, I'm a dummy, I confess). I've yet to find how to change from continuousto single, and back. It was SO simple on the x-t2, a nice thumb-accessible 'mode' dial. I miss it even though I often accidentally turned it. Also, quite a lot of us out here don't use Photoshop, but other editing apps. (I use Lumiar ai as a stand-alon.)

Great video!

I watched this again hoping there would be detailed explanation on the mini HDMI, USB and audio connectors and their respective settings and functionality. Would you be interested in making a quick video on these? I.E. if you have audio leaving a mixer and plugged into the mic jack, what and how would you set it? Someone said the USB C with the conversion cable that comes with doubles as a headphone jack. True? Thanks Maarten.

I'd love to get your opinion on the M6 Mk ii Maarten. I'm torn between the two cameras sir. Fantastic review!

Great work

I love you young man. My super hero.

Thank you for all the wonderful videos. Can you please explain how to us multi exposure mode to generate one image using 9 images? I have a Fuji X-S10 and still new to it.

Excellent review. I’ve had mine for a couple of days shooting a lot, and I really like it a lot. I agree with most everything you’ve said about what’s good and what needs to be improved. However, the camera has one annoyance that you didn’t mention. I’m constantly changing the exposure compensation accidentally because my thumb rests right on the rear command dial. It turns very easily, there’s no physical lock button, and I haven’t figured a way to turn it off or reassign it. Unless I’m missing something, this really needs to be addressed in a firmware update.

Thanks for sharing Maarten. I wonder why engineers can't make things simple. Simple menus with less options suit better to the majority of us. It's a nonsense to multiply menus, sub-menus etc... for useless options. I've just bought this camera but l'll go to the essential, just like with a film camera, and have fun with it and my 35 f:2.

Thank you as always for your detailed review of these cameras. Just want to confirm that the XS10 HD video modes with 120fps and 240fps have a 1.29 crop on top of the apsc 1.53 crop just like the XT4?

Thank you for the review. I just bought a Touit 2.8/50M lens for my Fuji X-S10. Can you please do a good video about how to do all the macro settings and save it to C1 or C2?

This was amazing! Thank you so much! I just bought this camera and am new to photography. It has helped me understand my camera and take great photos. I have one question: if I want to do Astrophotography, do I use switch to manual focus mode and focus to infinite with the manual dial?

Why does nobody’s xs10 review mention you can’t use the flash with the standard kit 16-80 lens?

i keep seeing the exposure compensation settings on film simulations that people make by any means does anyone know how to set the setting that they're asking for?

another great one thanks

Hi Maarten! If you happen to see this, I would really appreciate your help. You mention in this video the X-S10 can do 4K and 4.2.2 in HDMI. Does this mean using an HDMI cable to connect to a monitor? When connected to a monitor, does it then record that higher option on the camera’s memory card, or do you need some sort of external recording to get the 4.2.2? I’m having a lot of trouble finding that info as a relative newbie. Also, does it really matter? I’m getting started with doing real estate photo and video. I have the X-S10 and a DJI Air 2S. I recently saw reviews of some monitors for the camera, but I don’t know if it’s helpful for the higher quality or if it will simply give me a bigger screen to look at. I hope the changes in your life are bringing you joy! Thanks!

Thank you for your detailed and informative reviews. As a beginner, I definitely need practice to improve my skills, but my camera needs are not currently being met because I do yet own any equipment. :) I am looking to purchase my first ever camera/lens. My interest lies in nature/outdoor stills. Separate dials for ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed may be more user friendly to me than the button/screen combo. I like the feel and heft of the Fuji T4, but it may become heavy to use all the time and be more than I need to start out. The Fuji T30 felt comfortable at first, but as I held it longer, the small grip began to cause some hand discomfort. I then looked at the Fuji X S10 and liked several features but wished they had the same dials as the T30. I still need to touch and feel the Sony A6100 one more time for comparison. As this is a first purchase, I want to choose something that I can grow into and add quality lenses to as I go along. If the A6100 with both 16-50 mm and 55-210 mm lenses costs the same as the X S10 with a 16-80 mm lens, would you favor one over the other, or recommend I give the T30 or T4 another look over these two options?

Thanks!

Maarten, thank you so much for your excellent reviews. I'm trying to decide among the xs10 w/16-80, the Canon RP w/24-240 (or?), and the Z50 w/2lens kit. General photography, especially people. Not so much video. I'm older, so IBIS seems a plus, though I realize you consider it over-rated. Tried an a6600 and liked the size and the 18-135, but not the over-sharpened jpeg portraits. Tried a Z5 and was impressed but it's heavy enough to be left in the bag at home in favor of my smartphone :( Your suggestion?

Hi, Maarten. I enjoy your detailed and helpful reviews! I'm looking at Xs10 as another body, primarily for run-and-gun video clips. I'm a 30-year photojournalist who still shoots D4/5's for most of my work stills, but mostly all Fuji on my personal photos (XT1, xH1, X100F). Coming from XH1, wondering if the lower resolution viewfinder to be very noticeable? I hardly use the LCD on my cameras while shooting, but need to see well with the viewfinder. Thanks again for any help you can provide!

is there any option to turn ONLY lens OIS instead of turning both lens OIS+IBIS on?

I really admire all your videos, best unbiased reviewer, much appreciated!! I do you need your recommendation, i am new to photography, and i find it difficult to choose between the XS 10 and the nikon z50. If money is not a problem, Which is the best camera to pick from a photographer point of view? And which camera i can grow using it? Does the IBIS help a lot ?

I appreciate your excellent reviews. I was cinsidering the x-s10 or z50 but am a bit concerned avout the small viewfinder (to my eyes) on the former. I have not been able to looke through a Z50 viewfinder but see fro the specification that it is bigger. Would you describe it as appreciably larger?

Hi Maarten, I'm new to (beyond iphone) photography and just found your channel, I enjoy your content and subscribed. I'd like to ask your recommendation. Again, I'm new and not as technically versed as many in photography and I would like to start taking better photos and video of wildlife and the outdoors (primary use). Low light shooting would certainly be important.. The two cameras I'm considering are the Fujifilm X-S10 and the Sony A6600. If you had to choose one for the application described, which would it be please ?? They both seem very capable, much more capable than I am (right now)

Great insights Maarten. Can I ask (as you mentioned it in an earlier reply) would you still recommend the XH1 over this XS10? I would have put the H1 above the S10 however I acquired and XT3 before Christmas and have found myself using the H1 less and less. I really only use it with my fast primes now. I just wonder would the S10 provide better AF?

Hi there! I love your videos, you provide a lot of precious information to us. I have been reading all the comments and replies to find a solution to all my doubts. I am a passionate photographer/videographer, I really love street photography and landscapes. I'd like to buy a camera and like many others, all the doubts are on X-T3, X-T4 and now X-S10. I know for good quality videos I will need a gimbal (so maybe the inbody stabilizer it's not a must). For still pictures do I really need the built-in stabilizer? I know that XT-4 (16-80mm)+ DJI Ronin-SC could be the best pick I can do. It is really worth it? or maybe XT-3 (16-80mm)+ DJI Ronin-SC, saving almost $1000 I can have the same results. sorry, really I am stuck here.

Hello Maarten. Many thanks for your thoughtful and thorough review. Would you please share your advice on selecting from the list below? Canon EOS M6 Mark II Nikon Z5 Fujifilm X-T30 Fujifilm X-T4 (beyond current budget) Fujifilm X-S10 (top choice) I would like to add that I don't mind adapting to each of them with respect to "grip/feel" and learning about their dial and menu options. Thanks a lot for any advice you might have.

Quick question, Is this X-S10 as well built as the XT-3? I am kinda on the fence to pick this or a XT-3 on discount... :) Thanks in advance..

Great info Maarten. Do you have any info on tethering being added for the X-S10? It's really the only thing missing for me as I do some product photography.

Hi Sir, When choosing the first lens for Fuji XS 10, 16-55 kit lens or 16-80 kit lens or 35mm f2 prime lens which one is better for general photography?

Excellent review!! One question: how can I set manual focus on the X-S10? Thanks

Great review sir . Not sure if this question was addressed in your video, but Is it possible to charge via usb while using the camera as a webcam?

Hello Maarten, thanks a lot for your videos. They are awesome. Do you know if you can assign Iso dial to the front command dial in the XS-10?

Wow

Sir, plz tell me Nikon z5 vs Fuji xs10 which is best for wedding photography (in same price range camera s in india)one is full frame and one is crop sensor

Do you know if there is yet a battery grip available for this camera ?

can we use continous tracking autofocus on objects on video mode just like the photo mode?

Great video. Thanks. Can you get the front dial (front of the shutter button) to change the aperture values instead of using the aperture ring ? I'm using the 16-80

Hi Martin, Thanks a lot for this detailed review! How would you compare the autofocus of X-S10 and Nikon Z50. Especially in the department of face/eye detection and subject tracking. Also how capable is X-S10 for fast-moving (BiF like) subjects? Thank you!

I have an xt1 that i love, especially the sooc. Its getting old now, do you think that this would be a good upgrade if i decided to get a newer camera? Btw i havent decided yet, and yes i do need to take more pictures - but current situation in 2020 has drastically limited opportunities.

I have a question, is record time limit in 4k is only 30 minutes or until memory run out? I also will shot interview or event which longer than 30 minutes, i am little bit scared about the overheating?is it okay?

Thank you for your very helpful and well done video!!! Could you please tell me why in my XS10 even if I set a focus scale I don't see the line that moves according to the focus area? Thank you and sorry for my english! I tried in manual focus mode and turning the focus ring and set the scale on film (I also tried with the pixel scale...) but nothing appears. when I had the XT4 it appeared to me for example. 1 Set From Zero Rispondi

is is good for Sport Phtography in this Price range ?if not so good, than which kamera you prefer for Sport Photografy ?

Great video as usual :) Question: when you are in Manual mode, is there an auto setting for SS so the camera can be used essentially like the other more traditional fuji bodies? Likewise, I assume that Auto for aperture works in Manual mode in a similar way. Another question, in Manual mode, the front dial controls Aperture. But what if the lens has an aperture dial and it is set to say 2.8. Can you still adjust the aperture with the front dial or is it fixed to 2.8? Thanks!

X-S10, X-T3 (with OIS lens) or A7iii for video? Mainly concerned about Fuji’s autofocus and exposure jumping issues, also IBIS on X-S10 seems a bit underwhelming. However, Sony would naturally come to cost somewhat more.

How do you think this compares to the Canon m6ll? Not taking the view finder into consideration.

Hello Maarten, I need your help:-). On my new X-S10 I can fix the exposure by pressing the AEL-button (Press and it is fixed until I press it again) but it is not working with the AFON-button. There I have to keep on pressing. Have I missed something? On my X-T20 is was working for both, very convenient.

How can i set the front dial? i am unable to find it ata ny place..please help

I have an x-e2 and pretty much mastered the menu system, but am feeling a bit overwhelmed by this camera's system, is there a video or can you suggest some basic settings that i can just get started and feel a bit confident before exploring the whole menu system--thanks

I'm really curious on how the XS 10 could handle tropical photography 🤔

I am stumped and maybe you can help me. When I put my XS10 in Aperture priority mode and shoot a photo i get these 3 boxes at the bottom of the screen one says NEXT one says RETRY and the 3rd says EXIT and it won't let me shoot another photo the tally light on the back is flashing and I have to click on the disp.back to get rid of that screen. You'd be my hero if you can tell me what I'm doing wrong! Thank you.

Hi maarten! I'm your fan now :D Btw, I just started vlogging (I'm into photography also

We are looking for a new camera for video shooting. We cannot decide between the Panasonic GH-5 and the Fuji x-s10. which one do you recommend..?

Thank you for your reviews and hard work to enlighten us. If all goes to plan I will be going to South Africa this time next year. Whilst the general photography will be covered do you think it this would be suitable for safari photography with suitable lenses ? Or a XT4 ? Many thanks.

As a wedding photographer I used an Xt3 and my back up is an xt20 do you think this would be a great back camera or should I look to get an Xt30?

Whats better for video xt3 or xs 10? thank youu

Would you pick this or the Sony 6400 for someone starting out wanting to get into mainly photography?

I hope fujifilm will send me this camera 😩

Do you recomend this camera for making video for youtube? Especcialy for video technic reviews? By the way, good video.

Thank you so much for the review ❤️ But does the xs10 have Bulb mode? I couldn’t find it anywhere

Great review! What about vintage lenses? Is possible to shot with?

How did you get the bracketing mode selection menu you have up at 4:15?

Fuji XS 10 or XT 200 for a novice who just want great looking photos and videos with auto mode for casual travelling and events. No budget constraint. Just want a user friendly camera for point and shoot

Guys can you confirm that there is no timelapse option of the xs10 ? This is for real ? When people gonna understand that this is a main tool... I can believe i regret so much my purchase... can someone confirm ? Thanks

Is this the same video that was posted a week ago? (reuploaded) I was super excited for more info. Haha

Great Video. How do you think this compares to the sony a6600 for video ?

Does the price difference makes it worth over the xt30?

This is new camera?

This x-s10 or Nikon Z50 for everyday use?

Is it better than Sony 6400?

I am offended by your suggestion that I thoroughly learn my equipment before buying newer stuff. This would literally force the camera industry into bankruptcy. These kinds of reckless statements are not becoming of such a high-quality photography channel as yours. Oh, and I can see you taunting me with your 100,000 Sub KZfaq plaque in the background.
