Fujifilm XF10
A pocket APS-C compact at a quarter of the X100 price.
Short answer
The XF10 is a 279g APS-C compact with a fixed 18.5mm f/2.8 lens giving a 28mm-equivalent view. It uses a Bayer sensor, has 11 film simulations and no viewfinder, and it replaced the X70 at half the price.
The XF10 was Fujifilm’s attempt to make the X70 idea cheap. It kept the size, the lens focal length and the APS-C sensor, and cut cost by switching to a Bayer sensor, a fixed screen and slower autofocus.

XF10 or X70?
The X70 has an X-Trans sensor, a 180° tilting touchscreen and faster autofocus. The XF10 has more resolution on paper at 24MP, a lighter body at 279 grams, and costs far less.
Used prices tell the story: X70 bodies command a premium and XF10 bodies do not. The X70 is the better camera; the XF10 is the better bargain.
What to know before buying
Autofocus is contrast-detect and hunts, particularly in low light with an f/2.8 lens that does not gather much. The screen is fixed. 4K runs at 15fps, so treat it as a stills camera.
The snapshot mode, which presets focus distance and aperture for zone focusing, is genuinely useful for street work and partly compensates for the slow autofocus.
What is good
- APS-C sensor in a 279g pocket body 28mm-equivalent lens for street work Snapshot zone-focus mode Cheap compared with any X100
What is not
- Contrast-detect autofocus that hunts Fixed screen and no viewfinder Bayer sensor, so no ACROS
Verdict
The XF10 is the cheapest APS-C compact Fujifilm has made, and it behaves like it. Buy it for daylight street photography at a price that does not hurt.

Common questions
Is the XF10 as good as the X100F?
No. The X100F has an X-Trans sensor, a hybrid viewfinder, a faster lens and far better autofocus. The XF10 is a quarter of the price.
Does the XF10 have ACROS?
No. Its Bayer sensor means Monochrome and its filter variants only.
