This unassuming little camera really packs a punch - so much so that I've decided to make it my daily carry. I'm talking about the long forgotten about Fujifilm X10; a small but mighty compact camera that's perfectly designed for street photography.

Used Fuji prices are INSANE right now. I recently paid WAY too much for a used XE2s but I gave up on prices returning to anything reasonable and I really wanted it for daily carry. I would definitely buy an X10 for 100 to 150 USD... perhaps prices will eventually return to sane levels.

I absolutely loved my X10. I bought it new and after using the LUMIX LX3 for years before, the X10 was a joy to use. Sometimes I found it a bit frustrating because of its speed , the IQ was not good but to be honest that was probably my fault and not the camera. So I added a Sony RX100 m2 to my pocket which produced better images but was not so nice to use.. it’s more like a mobile, but it’s so small I use it as a back up when I travel light. Then on the journey of small cameras I added a Fuji X100F that is amazing and I still use, a Richoh GR2 that I absolutely loved but has now worn out and awaiting me to rebuild, as it very temperamental, but I can forgive this when it works as it is a monochrome monster and then decided to make the jump to a Leica Q which is another level and deserves the hype. Then got back into film and DSLR with the best lenses I could find used. Anyhoo, Last weekend I saw a X10 in a shop secondhand and was amazed at the price. Thought I need to dig mine out. Luckily I have kept all my cameras on my journey, so the X10 and LX3 will be coming back into use again this weekend to have fun capturing images. Great channel, I have subscribed 🥳

It's crazy how Fuji's camera prices have skyrocketed lately, I guess it's because of the X100V's . The hype around the X100V seems way overblown, even though they're decent cameras. It's like everyone's scrambling for alternatives now, driving up prices (including the X10). I had the 100F for a bit, loved it, but selling it was a mistake in retrospect . I guess I'll pre-ordering the 100R, to avoid this mess.

Good video. 👍🏼 I bought a new X10 a year or two after it was introduced. Not long afterward my wife got one, also. Great little camera, my first Fuji. Subsequently got an X-T10 and an X70, and my X10 got less use. I decided to sell one of the X10s and put the proceeds toward an X100F, figuring hey, we have a spare. We did some traveling and each time paid a neighborhood kid to come in and feed the pets while we were gone. One day I got an itch to shoot with my little X10…and as most readers have guessed by now, it was gone. So was our dog sitter. It’s doubly depressing, because not only did we lose a camera that held sentimental as well as tangible value, but also we’d known this guy since he was little and trusted him. I’m hoping, and have pretty much convinced myself, that he brought buddies or a girlfriend over to hang out while we were on the road and one of them palmed the camera without his knowledge. Regardless, the moral here is if you find a camera you like, keep an eye on it. And don’t hold your breath waiting for used Fujifilm prices to go down.

HOWEVER, after I while I found myself not enjoying the shooting process. It is really slow and navigating through the menues can become quite frustrating very quickly. In the end, I fully gave up on this beautiful yet for me uninspiring camera. The sensor is great though, especially in the high DR 6MP mode. As an entry into photography, I would rather look for an old DSLR (Nikon for example).

Fuji is all I want design wise but I really don't want to pay a premium because of the trend. Damn, now it's 250€ well used. In the end I got a Google pixel 8 pro instead. It has a 1/1.31" sensor for the main- and a 1/2.6" for the 5x telephoto camera and is always with me anyways.

I bought an X20 brand new back in 2013. I got the silver/black version because it looked better than the plain black version. I bought a few accessories for it, a dark brown leather half case by Sqinno, a black leather adjustable length neck strap by Cam-in, a silver hot shoe cover/thumb grip by Lensmate, and a Mirrorless Mover 5 camera bag by Think Tank. I loved that camera, and took it on holiday and weekends away over the next 2 years. Unfortunately, on a trip to Torquay, somewhere along the water front, in one of the shops or in the tourist information office, I took the camera in its bag off my shoulder and put it down on the ground....and then forgot to pick it up again. I never saw the camera again. I'm still mourning it's loss now, all I have to remember it is the empty box it came in.

I can’t see the prices changing unless film gets cheaper, which I don’t think it ever will. Fujifilm digital cameras have been the most recommended alternative to film and the flood of videos on even the XE1 recently have nudged up those prices too. A friend was recently able to swap his GFX 100S for a Leica M240 and 28mm lens because the Fujifilm medium format cameras have also gone up. The genuinely forgotten cameras are the Panasonic G6 and Sony NEX 6. The G6 has some surprisingly clean shadows in jpeg and a beautiful grip. The tight lines in its plastic construction make it feel like moulded wood. Very sharp displays and great ergos. Solid battery life too. NEX 6 has excellent AF and superb EVF for its time. USB charging makes it a bit more suited travel. Both can be had for less than £200.

The lx100 gets you 12 mp at all aspect ratios with no resolution loss, the lx100 ii gets you 17 mp. It's a M43 sensor as well. It doesn't have a flash or tilting lcd but.. do you really use those 90% of the time? I guess the flash could be useful. Oh and it shoots 4k video and has image stabilization lol! It's a ridiculous package. It fits in a coat pocket or baggy pants. You can get smaller but you can't get a smaller camera with equal features.

Why Fuji discontinued the X30 and never developed a successor is a mystery to me. The build quality of these little cameras is superb, far better than most compact cameras available now. I own a Panasonic TZ200 which is a great camera capable of high quality images with a zoom range from 24 to 360mm and a 1” sensor, its build quality isn’t as good as the Fuji’s though.

I mean if I think pocket camera I think my iPhone that's high MP and it's always in my pocket.

Wonderful review, and I agree with you. I went to buy an x10 when they were new. Sadly it was 2013 and they were all sold out and I had to buy an x20 instead! I love the x20 and can highly recommend it, some say it solved the shortcomings of the x10, and certainly I don't think I would have coped with the lack of viewfinder info in the x10, something I find essential in the x20. My only gripe, using FX cameras all the time, is that the x20 tends to blurr some of the details in a shot, but what can you expect with a 12mp 2/3 sensor? Its fantastic to use, intuitive, and built to last. I don't care how much the 2nd hand value increases with the x20 it will not be for sale.

@enossifiedossified3145 4 ай бұрын

I owned an X10 for about 8 years but finally sold it because of the OVF limitations. When I bought it, I did not realize how often it would be necessary to frame with the screen, not the OVF. There’s no parallax correction for closeup shooting, it only shows 83% of the actual image so tight framing is impossible and at the widest focal length the lens barrel and hood can be seen in the finder. It’s nothing like the finders in 35mm rangefinder cameras I used in the film days. The followup X20 added a heads-up display of shutter speed, aperture and focus point which is a huge improvement. It came out two months after I bought my X10. The followup to the X20 was the X30 which switched to an EVF and tilt screen so actually that’s the most desirable version although it’s a small amount larger. They all share the same lens and 12MP sensor and the IQ at low ISOs really is fantastic. I've made 16x20 prints of my shots and they look great.

LOL , I like to search by typing " X10 " more ........🙃🙃🙃 . I agree with you , I had this model since 2012 but still something kept me from selling it even though I am using 2023 more high tech cameras only .

Ide love to see a video where you compare a plethora of prime lenses vs the samyang/tamron 35-150

Don't these X10 all have the "white orb" defect? They are actually quite cheap around here, but the "white orb" kept me from buying one.

I love size / form factor of the X10 / X20 / X30, but the weakest link is the on / off switch being built into the lovely little lens. A lot of the examples seem to get listed as spares and repairs because of this. The other problem is the price that they currently for on Ebay. I ended up buying a XE-1, kit lats and an 18mm f2 for £180 ... Bargain.

Great camera back in the day some of my personal favorite images were taken with a modest X10. But with current prices higher than an Olympus E-M5 mk ii or Panasonic LX-100 it’s a hard pass for me.

@andreatilli6227 6 ай бұрын

Would you say those are better cameras? and why

@marike1100 6 ай бұрын

@@andreatilli6227 Yes, I would say they are better mainly because they have much larger m43 sensors, better IQ and more modern viewfinders. Great compact, it’s just the X100v hype has inflated nearly all Fujifilm prices.

@GeorgeHolden 6 ай бұрын

Camera looks great! I've tried the X-Pro 1 and X100S but never had the chance to try this. Interesting walk through, good work man!

@nigelchapman6211 6 ай бұрын

Since all the hype started around Fuji the knock on has been increased prices of everything Fuji, which is frustrating for budget conscious consumers. I could have bought this lovely camera for £99 a few years ago, so £240 now feels ridiculous. The x20 similarly is now rare and expensive. As for the x30, it’s way out of price range. And boy oh boy do I now regret selling my XE1&2 !

Unfortunately, the delay factor makes this camera a no-go for someone like me who wants to be able to pull it out of their pocket or fanny pack, and quickly get the shot. Any suggestions for a pocket size camera? That is super quick ? Ideally full frame.

@Oncewasgolden 6 ай бұрын

I bought this just recently from eBay for a little over $400. in “ Mint-in- Box”. condition. Considering it was $800 when it was first released and my camera is practically new, I feel I did alright. It is my first Fujifilm camera. I like it but still am in the “getting used to it” phase. I like the fact that the images are sharp but not over sharp like modern cameras. If you can get one almost brand new, then a higher price is still worth it. How much are you willing to pay to get the shots you WANT? For me, the answer is whatever I can afford!

I gave my like new X30 to a young lady in a 3rd world country and as I knew she would never be able to afford a camera on this level she was a natural with it and she still is a way better photographer than Ill ever be. Do I miss it? Yes but I quickly bought a XE2s with the kit lens and a few manual lenses and I still miss the X30 with its control ring built onto the fixed lens. The X30 also has a slightly larger sensor and quite a few more film simulations. In all fairness at the time I gifted my X30 I was caught up in the high megapixel hype and for a fun filmic camera my X30 was the most fun camera that I have ever owned. Im sure the X10 and X20 are very similar in the fun factor. I always liked the Idea of lomography and this camera had that quirkyness to it and I never once shot it in raw as I wanted to stay with the JPEG film simulations like when I would be happily stuck with whatever pictures were produced with the many different brands and types of films i used in my old Minolta, Pentax and USSR built Zenith 35mm cameras. That was to me the surprise and fun factor of the X30. by the way this was a fun video to watch and thank you for making it.

I owned the X30 and while it was a good travel companion I wouldn't say it was pocketable. The X70 on the other hand is very pocketable but loses the benefits of having a zoom lens.

The hype isnt dying anytime soon fuji had no market share for years so not like a ton of these cameras are available as second hand to drive down prices. The x10 is prone to failure as well so paying $400 is risky at best. For those saying they got it for $100 well I mean that is true it used to go for nothing two years ago got mine at auction for $89 and that was relisted no one wanted it.

It's too bad that cameras getting good reviews go through the roof IDK if it's the sellers jacking the price up after seeing a good review or supply and demand of people all looking for the camera at the same time the same thing happened to film cameras you used to get them for almost nothing You are right that the camera is probably a hundred dollar camera
