Fujifilm has announced the XF10, the company's new pocket-sized premium compact camera, which replaces the X70.The Fujifilm XF10 features a 24.2MP APS-C sensor (with the more standard bayer array, as opposed to the X-Trans design featured in higher-end X Series cameras like the X100F).
This sees the XF10 support an expanded ISO range from 100-51,200, while 4K video capture is at a pretty modest 15p.Like the X70, the XF10 features a fixed 18.5mm f/2.8 Fujinon wide-angle lens that's equivalent to 28mm in 35mm format.
There's also a Digital Teleconverter function on the XF10 that gives users the option of taking photos with equivalent focal lengths of 35mm and 50mm, although this will compromise image quality.The XF10 has a 3.0-inch touchscreen, but there's no built-in electronic viewfinder.Square modeIf you're addicted to Instagram and its square format then the XF10 could be for you thanks to its Square Mode, which enbables you to switch to 1:1 aspect ratio format with a single flick on the touchscreen.The XF10 also offers 11 Film Simulation Modes and 19 Advanced Filters, including two new ones: Rich Fine, which renders brighter and more vivid color at the centre of the frame with slight shadows at the corners, to emphasize the subject; and Monochrome [NIR], which simulates infrared shots.The Fujifilm XF10 will be available in August 2018 in a choice of black and champagne gold finishes, priced at 449.
US and Australian pricing is yet to be confirmed.
