We have been talking about the rumors regarding this camera for some time now, but the time for guesses and assumptions are over. Tonight, Fujifilm officially unveiled the new X-T10, the younger sibling to the wildly popular X-T1.
On the surface, you can see the similar design language used in both the X-T1 and X-T10. But the X-T10 brings its own twist to the SLR-styled mirrorless camera market. Gone is the ISO dial on the X-T10, replaced by a new drive mode dial – pointing to the more consumer focus of this body.
The base for the X-T10 is the same as it has been for all of the recent Fujifilm releases; the tried and true 16.3MP APS-C X-Trans sensor. What the X-T10 misses in megapixels, it makes up for in other features. Namely a super fast 8fps burst mode, and newly redesigned 77point AF system that Fuji says improves greatly on the tracking abilities of the X-Series camera.
The X-T10 is clearly Fuji’s answer to the increasingly popular Sony A6000, coming in at a similar price point and offering similar features. On paper, the two cameras match up nicely, though Sony is expected to announce their next generation A6000 camera this week – so we will have to wait and see what Sony comes up with.

i wonder how it compares to the XE-2?
I’m still in love with my X-T1 after 15 months with it so no GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) for me.
This isn’t meant to be a replacement for the X-T1. It’s actually a lower model with the only advantage over the X-T1 being the improved AF, although that will change when the new update arrives.
Looks very appealing at that price point.
Would be really interested to know what the X-T1 has over this.
The X-T1 is weather sealed, and has a slightly better construction, and an ISO dial instead of the drive mode dial. Otherwise they are very similar.
Thanks Anthony – that makes it pretty compelling!
