Would you buy the Fuji XF10 for street photography?

I would - but update it to latest firmware - I heard latest firmware fixed the af

Fuji have obviously listened to the critiques and responded quickly. I have just received my XF10 and I'm still learning about this camera. The shutter lag you speak about no longer exists... I can't say anymore about anything else because I am still learning this 'powerhouse' of a camera!

They always do. I heard some rumors. I am thinking to give it a try again. Thanks for input and thanks for watching👍

Been using for almost year now... For better AF... Higher auto - iso margins in aperture mode focus is better (plus power management high) work well

Thanks for a very thorough and candid review. I just got mine a few days ago and so far I like it, but we'll see as I try to do more with it. As for the AF hunting, I just go ahead and shoot. Most of the time it's right on. Even my micro 4/3 cameras blow the focus on occasion. I had a GR 2 earlier in the year and sold it because the exposure adjustment rocker switch was right where my thumb wanted to be and I was forever getting grossly underexposed (as much as 4 stops) pictures because the compensation had changed without my realizing it. Also, the GR 2 can. be impossible to use in certain lighting conditions because of the glare on the screen. That may be the case here, too. Don't know yet.
@CrisConstantin3 жыл бұрын
The GR2 has some issues for sure from what I heard. This little toy the XF10 is awesome in many respects and by the amount of messages I am getting about the AF being decent, I tend to believe mine was a lemon. I’ll probably get another one next year and give it another spin. Thanks for the nice words🙏🏼 and stick around if you can👍

Thanks for generally liking this camera, although your criticism of its autofocusing suggests you haven't updated the firmware - which I did a year ago. I'm out shooting in the streets almost daily and haven't missed a shot, although admittedly I'm using snapshot mode. But when I do use 'normal' autofocus it's still perfect. I love this little beast.
@CrisConstantin3 жыл бұрын
Unfortnately, I updated it to the last fw and it was still slow in acquiring focus, even in snapshot mode. It might be a lemon but I definitely enjoyed the form factor and its capabilities. It’s not for me but I am happy to see others take advantage of this little giant👍

They use Bayer sensors because it's a cost cutting effort to keep the entry level cameras cheap.
@CrisConstantin3 жыл бұрын
I believe so, and I am also inclined to believe that they are dabbling with options in case they need an alternative to xtrans that delivers the same color and IQ performance. There is not a lot of difference between them but for Fuji sim lovers, is distinguishable👍
