Overview Fujifilm X-T10 Modern
Fujifilm's, perhaps the latter joining the mirrorless race,
with the help of intelligent and original when it took steps very interesting
niche in this market. Focusing primarily on the premium segment, the company
has gradually descends closer to the people parallel park quickly increasing
optics - today already one of the best on the market.

| Overview Fujifilm X-T10 Modern |
Today we talk about a "golden middle" range
Fujifilm - model X-T10, designed to become a mass version of the X-the T1 .
Reportage bezzerkalki, became, despite its high cost, the most popular model in
the lineup - which we predicted in its last year's review. X-T10 theoretically
should build on this success.
This is the lite version of the X-T1, close on the set of
solutions (sensor, autofocus, design), but is more compact and devoid of
moisture dust-proof housing. With a simple and intuitive user control
inexperienced, but saved proprietary chips with manual exposure input, exposure
compensation and aperture (using proprietary optics). The electronic viewfinder
is located just in the center of the body, in the Mount "pentaprism",
but it is a little easier than X-T1, as well as the main screen. The total list
of changes can be seen in the table below.
The main thing - the price in the range of 40 000, it is
quite affordable at the current exchange rate level, which allows Fujifilm to
focus not only on the pros and advanced enthusiasts who are ready to pay a lot
for the precious little things for them, but also to the fans. Including the
newcomers to help which issued a full auto mode and scene profiles.
Fujifilm has developed its mirrorless line rather unusual
way: very slowly, but steadily increasing the tempo. Firstborn of the X100 ,
even with replaceable optics, appeared in 2010, the very first bezzerkalka with
interchangeable lenses was published in 2012 - and it immediately became the
flagship of the X-Pro1 (change to which we are still waiting). Expensive, slow
and rather cumbersome, almost compatible optics, it seemed odd to then frankly
quite rough bezzerkalok market. But Fujifilm gradually "lowers the
bar": soon came a little more than a budget model the X-the E1 , and by
the end of 2013 the market has been and affordable X-A1 and the X-the M1 . But
the real breakthrough was the last year the X-the T1 , which has become, in my
opinion, one of the best cameras of the year. By the time the optics and the
park has grown to become one of the most extensive on the market. X-T10 has
become a budget version of the flagship reportage.
Main characteristics
At first glance it seems X-T10 miniature copy of the X-T1 -
all signature features is available: form and style SLR camera, and abundant
number of analog selectors, and facing a rubberized material. Yes, style is
completely the same - Fujifilm X-T10 as good unfading beauty of retro cameras,
especially in silver-black finish - but the differences are actually quite a
few.
The control circuit has been greatly simplified and at the
same time close to the more traditional model. Right place occupied sensitivity
selector switch modes, to which are added and bracketing modes broach. Pretty
easy decision, but we need to make sure that the correct value stood, blocking
the wheels is not provided; He has left the flash activation lever, very
convenient. Right to selectors exposure compensation and shutter speed was
added toggle lever in the fully automatic mode on the Panasonic manner, and to
emit this special button. Gone was the help button is focusing its functions
transferred to the rear of the selector dial is pressed. I will highlight had
returned thread for cable release on shutter button - a balm for the soul of
experienced photographers, who had to deal with film technique. The memory card
slot moved to the battery in order to save space on the body and as a result of
the inability to use with X-T10 battery handle.
The main and the most comfortable things X-T10 has adopted
unchanged: a special video button, which fans were asked to mark the years, the
two selector disc front and rear, as well as rotary screen.
The controls are very pleasant, the opportunity to have
direct access via the selectors to key shooting settings priceless. It is not
as extensive as in the X-T1, but inferior to the flagship not too much. By the
way, I liked the keys are slightly larger than on the X-T1, a little nicer to
work with them. The interface is exactly the same as on other cameras X-series.
Dimensions Fujifilm X-T10 - 118, 4 x 82, 8 x 40, 8 mm,
weight - 381 grams. The novelty is the maximum playing card brand mirrorless
camera - compact. I had to sacrifice the size of the handle for grip, but it's
not too much impact on the convenience, I have worked with X-T10, without
attaching a shoulder strap, and it was comfortable enough. I note a large
protrusion thumb stop, it gives a good camera fixation. If desired, the
projection can be increased to grip - optional handle is available.
Unlike X-T1 is made from magnesium alloy body is not all,
but only the chassis - lining mostly plastic, with rubberized pads, except for
the top and bottom panels. And build a Thai, not Japanese, which, however, does
not immediately impose poor quality printing.
A three-inch screen, 920 thousand points, simpler than the
X-T1, but, again, a slight difference - a fairly bright display with good
viewing angles and decent color reproduction. Screen swivel in a vertical
plane, but do not touch. I'm sure eventually Fujifilm adds to their cells this
minor detail, so helping with instant focus point selection, for example, but
is simply a tribute to tradition.
The viewfinder is also easier - the same OLED with 2.360
million pixels, but smaller, less impressive sight occupies the entire area, as
in X-T1.. Magnification Ratio - h0.62; naturally, there is correction for dioptres.
On the screen in Live View mode, you can display several
types of grid horizon. Putting the focus point can be displayed directly on the
navigation keys, without pre-activation of any menu. Also, the screen can
display information about the current settings - under constant hovering on the
viewfinder, such a decision can be meaningful.
Functionality
Fujifilm X-T10 had inherited the same bundle of processor
and sensor as the X-T1, and X-E2 - X-Trans CMOS II, 16, 3 megapixels, APS-C
(23,6 × 15,6 mm) primary color filter, eliminates the low-pass filter, thereby
increasing per-pixel resolution of the matrix. On top of that - the phase
autofocus sensors on the matrix, makes the use of focal hybrid solution (a
combination of focus and contrast phase). Will not go away and Lens Modulation
Optimizer technology, details about her (to test its effectiveness), I wrote in
the review of the E2-the X.
An important difference between X-T10, limiting its
reportage great potential and leads her into the niche of amateur cameras or
travel options for dimensions - reduced clipboard. With excellent shooting
speeds of up to 8 frames per second the camera can record a series of only 7
shots in RAW format, a maximum or 12 JPEG shots. Artificially introduced, this
boundary is nevertheless clearly separates these two models.
Auto focus has not changed. The same arrangement of a hybrid
circuit phase green pixel sensors in the matrix 49 in addition to the focus
point contrast. This is another X-series camera with a hybrid focus. Phase
sensors cover about 36% of the frame in the center of the area and allow to
achieve the rapid determination of the distance to the subject - and thus avoid
unpleasant "fidgeting" focus in a situation where the definition of
critical distance; typical problem of contrast emerges focus when focusing in
the areas on the edges of the frame. In the center of the focus quite fast, but
still not always succeed - especially when it comes to macro photography. Part
of the problem can be attributed to the optics, but not all.
However, in the macro has been a significant progress - is
finally to activate it on bezzerkalke Fujifilm do not need to press a special
key, everything happens automatically. Also focus tracking works well.
Manual focusing is carried out by a motor built into the
lens - even though it is the same as usual, through the ring on the lens. To
aid manual focus has, in addition to increasing the object on which you are
focused, accessible focus peaking and the digital division of objects displayed
in the central area, resulting from the phase detection on the matrix sensor
frame (of course, they are displayed in monochrome, but only in the middle
frame). This abundance is more than justified - remember about the possibility
of using this camera neavtofokusnoy optics, in particular, Leica (there is also
a special adapter for M-mount, and the working distance makes working with this
optics without any problems).
X-T10 boasts two closures - as well as classic with a
mechanical range of shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000 and electronic,
allows you to shoot with shutter speeds up to 1/32000. Artifacts in the form of
a "striped" image at artificial illumination are possible, but in
natural bright light, it will be removed from open aperture without affecting
the picture. Useful thing.
There are built-in flash of the original design, the guide
number 5 (ISO 100) or 7 (ISO 200).
As I mentioned above, the camera is in the arsenal of preset
modes, in contrast to the X-T1. The classic combination of P / A / S / M is not
present - can be achieved through a combination of shutter speed and aperture -
in addition to the selectors of digital values is a mark automatically
detect. But there were additional modes selector: two with special effects
(each can hang their favorite, they should be changed through a special menu),
double exposure and panoramic view. And full auto mode in which the camera
selects one of 58 preset shooting options.
Examples of special effects
HDR is not, instead, it proposed to plug dynamic range
(quite effective, but at the maximum lifting bar minimum sensitivity up to ISO
400) and a variety of options bracket (for the exposure, dynamic range, ISO,
white balance and film simulation). Available Interval shooting (shooting
interval from 1 second to 24 hours, up to 999 shots).
Be customized color, sharpness, tone, lights, tone shadows
shumodava level (for graduation from weak to strong). You can manually adjust
the white balance shift.
They have not gone away and proprietary modes simulate
classic films of the Fuji, and in full (11 pieces, added Classic Chrome, which
appeared last fall in the new firmware X-T1).
Example with simulated shooting films Fujifilm
Wi-Fi. In addition to fast wireless transmission of images
to a smartphone (most demanded and natural function) and affixing geotags is a
function of the full camera control from your smartphone / tablet (running
under Android or iOS).
Opinion Hi-Tech Center
Fujifilm X-T10 - is a logical continuation of the ideas of
one of the best cameras last year, Fujifilm X-T1, only in a mass execution.
The same recording quality and ergonomics are very close in
a more compact package and at a lower price by a third - sounds very
appetizing, does not it? And the victims, who had to bear for the sake of it,
do not seem quite so serious: less clipboard simpler viewfinder and screen a
bit less comfortable grip and a smaller number of analog selectors, lack of
dust and moisture protection. As reportage camera for serious photographers
X-T10 can not advise. However, as a variant of the compact travel-camera for
pros or the machine every day for the advanced amateur - over. This is a good
hit in the target audience, the camera, which should become one of the most
successful for Fujifilm in the digital era.
Competitors, however, are very serious. Among bezzerkalok is
the Olympus OM OM-the D the E-the M10 , the Sony A6000 and Panasonic Lumix G7
novelty. Among the SLR is Nikon D5500 and Canon EOS 750 / 760D.
