I bought the XF10 right around the time that covid started then ended up having to sell it. I finally got it again a couple of weeks ago. I love the size and the quality of the photos it takes. Great video!
I almost got the x70 instead, just happened to find the xf-10 for a good deal. I like that the x70 has more physical dials/controls. I’d love to see an update on both cameras too or just one new compact with all the great features of both cameras put together. Thanks for watching appreciate the feedback 🤙🏼
Great review! Direct to the subject respecting viewer's time. Thank you! I wish all youtuber's make videos like this instead of lengthy and useless introductions and life stories...
Thank you ! Most of these images are raw images edited but there are a few jpgs. Even though I like editing the raws , I still like to use the astia color profile to edit off
I couldn’t agree more. I have both an XF10 and an X100V, and the camera that comes with me more often is the XF10 just because it’s less obtrusive. The image quality isn’t quite as good as the X100V, although it’s pretty close. It needs an updated version!
I know exactly what you mean, I was the same way with the x100f. Can’t beat the convenience of the xf-10, an updated version would be epic, really hoping it happens. Thanks for watching appreciate the feedback 🤙🏼
I get that, it can be a little awkward since it’s so small with not much grip. I keep a wrist strap on it just in case it slips out of my hand, saved me a few times.
@@alexbemanian The camera had some chinese fans and they created a custom grip for it that extended the camera lengthwise. It made the camera the same shape as the Ricoh GR2.
I have dony alpha 5100 which i bought to learn photography but hardly used it becuase it doesnt fit in pocket and i hate carrying around. I want to take family photos and street photos only. Do you recommend to get this instead which fits in pocket and not overly priced.
Yes it would be a perfect camera for your use case, it may even be a little overkill. You could find something a lot cheaper that fits in your pocket for everyday photos. The xf10 is the premium option for this if that’s what you’re looking for.
Cool video. The camera seems very cool. But I think the most underrated cameras made by Fujifilm are the X-A cameras. Yes, they have beyer sensors, and therefore aren't the complete Fujifilm experience. But they are still awesome. I bought my X-A2 for 90€ (including a camera bag) and I regularly see similar X-A cameras for
Thank you . The X-A cameras look awesome, I’ve been on the verge of purchasing one several times. The xf-10 has a bayer sensor as well. The x-a cameras are definitely underrated, perfect size, interchangeable lenses , and really affordable. If I didn’t already have an x pro 1 I would probably pick one up, the xf-10 is the only camera that actually fits in my pocket so it’s a winner for me. Thanks for watching appreciate the feedback
You know, it looks good, yet, I have the X70, it's very pleasant as the xf-10 must be , or my GR, and I thought of getting the XF-10 to get out of the 16mpx range. One must also admit that the X70 don't always focus perfect. as I don't use snap focus as much as with my GR. But all together, it's something else. Actually, even though it's Fuji, I was very impressed the other day after watching a video off the Nikon Coolpix A, another 16mp also without antialias filter, and what nailed me was to me the much better color science coming out of it, than what I experienced with my GR, X70 and maybe even the old RX1R II that's not ne most convenient camera despite what one could believe (also focus issues, erratic light metering sometimes, etc.). So, surprised by that, I went on Flickr Nikon A photo group, and there too, in comparaison of the X70 and others I mentioned, I was impressed by the very righteous color and tone of that Nikon Coolpix A. Especially at night where colors are definitely better than my X70, here forget the GR out of tone and Sony is somewhat cold greyish (test on city at night) so now I hesitate. For larger mpx count and more advanced features the XF-10 may have, I don't know if I'll aim to get the XF-10 or the A. I was already lurking at the XF-10, knowing it's another good compact APS-C but now, am I going to go with the A, which, surprisingly I found new on some New York camera site that must have had a load of them since it's not grey market, I don't know... From all these shared thought, would you have any experience with the NIkon A ? That would be interesting to know your thoughts if you do, vs the XF-10 as it's hard to see any YT video comparing them. Thank you for any insight...
@@alanalain4884 thank you for this response, there is a lot to consider here. First of all the xf-10 is incredible, I have never used a more capable camera that’s fits in my pocket other than an iPhone. To me the xf-10 is the perfect pocket camera, if that’s what you’re looking for. But I will say, I don’t love the images out of the camera as much as other old Fujifilm cameras like my x pro 1, which has less megapixels. The xf-10 files are really sharp and the colors are way cooler, which can be fixed in post or white balance etc. I have never used the Nikon Coolpix A, but I would love to! It looks like an amazing little camera, I don’t know much about it, but it seems pretty comparable to the xf10. Maybe someday I can do a side by side comparison. All I can say for certain is the xf10 is incredible, I would buy it again. Good luck on your decision, you can’t miss with those options
@@alexbemanian Thank you for your time to answer and for your insight. I think both must be great camera with a mpx edge for the XF10. Ideally, getting both for the price of one new on the used market would be the best. What I know is that for service/replacement etc. if broken, each time I dealt with Fuji, they were great and also, I think it's worth re-mentioning, I find that for quickly evaluating a real life everyone's images, going on Flickr's photo groups for a given camera (or lens for that matter) gives a very good visual insight of how a camera/lens renders, and some photographers being very good in these groups, it also allows for the average photographer to see how good a camera can be when used with talent, but here, edit has also to be considered. Best.
I sure regret selling this camera. Back then I didn’t really understand how to shoot in the 28mm format. I bought it when it first came out and was reasonably priced. Now I’d really hesitate to buy it for what it sells for here in Tokyo. Too bad! Fuji - update it!😊
I've done the same thing many times. I've even bought cameras back, but with these elevated prices, i don't blame you for hesitating. I hope fuji gives us an update. thanks for watching

Thats cool you were able to pick up another one, totally agree the size and quality is great. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 🤙🏼
It was only $240 used during the pandemic, now it's $500+
we need an updated version of this camera asap
Totally agree! I really hope they don’t discontinue the compacts
Dude! Your color grading and photo style is so good
Thanks Bryan appreciate that bro 🤙🏼
Hadn’t thought about this but I agree. ❤
I’d love to see an update to these smaller form factor cameras from Fuji. I have an X70 and really love it for its compact size and features.

lol thank you I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video, I try to pack in as much in a little bit of time
Awesome video! So many amazing colors Great job Alex! 📷
Thank you Amy!
❤ best vid yet! Proud of you!
❤️
Hey man, we need a video showing how you edit your colors. Look banging! Great job!
Thank you I appreciate that. One of these days I’ll definitely do that.
Always avoid the high end model coz the main theme for a Fuji Camera is not hardware but its presets. For me the best fuji X series was XE- models
The xe cameras are awesome , love the minimal and compact style. Hope the make an xe-5. Thanks for watching appreciate the feedback
Thanks for creating this video. Makes me feel really good I chose the XF10. 🎉
Thanks for watching , yes it’s a great choice! Enjoy the camera 🤙🏼
thanks for the video. this is exactly what I am looking for. cant wait to get one.
Glad you enjoyed , thanks for watching, hope you find one 🤙🏼
@@alexbemanian Just got mine XF10. Not bad price with very good condition.
@@seanyang6543 congrats enjoy the camera
lovely photos! Do you mainly edit RAW or use any recipes on JPEGs?
Thank you ! Most of these images are raw images edited but there are a few jpgs. Even though I like editing the raws , I still like to use the astia color profile to edit off

Ost is great!! What is it??
I had one. My main gripe was that it was not comfortable to hold.
I get that, it can be a little awkward since it’s so small with not much grip. I keep a wrist strap on it just in case it slips out of my hand, saved me a few times.
@@alexbemanian The camera had some chinese fans and they created a custom grip for it that extended the camera lengthwise. It made the camera the same shape as the Ricoh GR2.
I absolutely love this camera 😊
Same !
Did you use any specific recipes for the photos? :)
Yes , astia and a few velvia. But I mostly edit the raw images and use those color profiles as a starting point in Lightroom
I have dony alpha 5100 which i bought to learn photography but hardly used it becuase it doesnt fit in pocket and i hate carrying around. I want to take family photos and street photos only. Do you recommend to get this instead which fits in pocket and not overly priced.

@@alexbemanianCan you suggest which ones are cheaper ones if this is a little overkill?
what does the f stands for?
I think the xf usually refers to Fujis lenses on APS-c cameras but I don’t know for sure
Hi Alex! What film simulation do you use to get that results? Thanks
Hello! For these photos I mostly used the astia color profile in Lightroom as a starting point editing the raws.
thanks bro
Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
How is the nigt shot? Can it be used in concerts and night clubbing?
It’s perfect for indoor photography because the flash works great! Keep in mind it’s a wide focal length so you need to get up close
@@alexbemanian thank you so much for replying... because of this I'm going to buy the camera at Christmas 🎁
@@whirlwindyoh9870 it will make a great Xmas present, try eBay maybe you can get lucky on a deal

You should try xq2 and x70
I almost bought the x70 before I got the xf-10, found this camera for a slightly better price.
Please share your recipe! 🙏🏻🥺
I will cover that in a video soon😎

My impression is the Samsung NX Mini is the best pocket camera and for video too.
The Samsung looks like an epic little camera. I prefer the larger APS-c sensor over a 1” for photos though

I love that camera 😊
Same here !
The problem is thaT THE SECOND HAND CAMERAS AVAILABLE PRICES ARE SKY HIGH EXPENSIVE!
You’re totally right. hopefully once Fuji releases more inventory and updates on the cameras that need it, the used market will straighten out.
where I can find your instagram? nice camera btw
Thank you appreciate it, sorry I don’t have an instagram.
very very very expensive now!!!
Yep. Up by about $300 from what I can find on KEH.
They need to update this. It will sell like hotcakes
Definitely! I’d buy it in a heartbeat
Question: can I buy this camera from you for 500$?
lol try ebay bid, maybe you can get lucky? the prices have jumped quite a bit in the last few years unfortunately.
4k video is totally useless because of the frame rate. 2k is possible.
Agreed! I haven’t even tried yet, I’ve heard it overheats quick
Not underrated. Just Fuji people not knowing what the market wants.
That’s a good point, a lot of my favorite Fuji cameras are either discontinued or haven’t been refreshed in many years
@@alexbemanian 🙌🙌🙌
I wish I could store more than one recipe though 🥹
I agree, it's a bummer. Not sure why they limited that on this camera?
