Fujifilm X-T10

The cheapest way into Fujifilm dials, full stop.

FUJIFILM X-T10

Short answer

The X-T10 is the small version of the X-T1: 16.3MP X-Trans II, a centre viewfinder, mechanical dials and 11 film simulations including Classic Chrome. It is the cheapest Fujifilm with traditional controls.

If the whole appeal of Fujifilm is having a shutter speed dial on top of the camera, the X-T10 is the least you can spend to get it. It is a decade old and it still feels right in the hand.

What you get

Shutter speed and exposure compensation dials, a decent 0.62× viewfinder, a tilting screen and the X-Trans II sensor that people still praise for its colour.

Classic Chrome is included, which matters: it is the simulation most people come to Fujifilm for, and the X-T10 is the cheapest body that has it.

Set your expectations

Autofocus is slow, especially in low light. Video is 1080p and not worth using. Sixteen megapixels leaves no room to crop. There is no weather sealing and the battery is small.

As a first camera to learn manual controls on, none of that is a problem. As a camera to rely on, it is.

What is good

  • Real dials at the lowest possible price
Classic Chrome on an X-Trans II sensor
381g and very small
Tilting screen

What is not

  • No ACROS, no IBIS, no sealing
Slow autofocus in low light
16MP and 1080p video only

Verdict

Buy an X-T10 to learn photography with dials in your hands. Sell it within a year and put the money toward an X-T30 or X-T50.

Common questions

Does the X-T10 have Classic Chrome?

Yes. It shipped with it, unlike some earlier X-Trans II bodies that received it by firmware.

X-T10 or X-T20?

The X-T20 for 24 megapixels and ACROS. The X-T10 only if the price difference is large and you shoot mostly in good light.
