Price wise it’s also good news: the camera body was a suggested £499 in black or silver on launch, with the most affordable kit lens option being body plus XC16-50mm lens for £599.Īlternatively the standard 18-55mm lens we played with will set you back £800 with the camera.

The camera’s performance here is consistent and resulting images are both detailed and colour rich. While there are plenty of manual controls for those who relish getting hands on, an auto mode switch lever provides the option to disengage brain and point and shoot with a simple flick.

But the fact that the 3-inch back screen also tilts meant we often ended up referring to the larger 920K-dot resolution LCD for shot composition instead, as it obviously affords a wider range of framing options.

We also get the relative luxury of a 2.36 million-dot resolution electronic viewfinder complete with comfortable-feel eye cup. Part of the reason for the X-T10’s solid feel when gripped are its die-cast magnesium top and base plates, though arguably the real attention grabbers are those triple rangefinder-style top plate dials controlling shooting mode, exposure and sensitivity. Alternatives to the X-T10 include the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF7, or numerically similar E-M10 from Olympus, yet both possess a physically smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor. Said chip provides a sufficiently detailed resolution of 16.3 effective megapixels, which we found suitable for most, if not all, subjects. For example we still get a large, APS-C sized sensor and in this respect the X-T10 proves a match for last year’s pricier yet still range topping X-T1. It’s Fuji’s entry-level X0series interchangeable lens camera, but thanks in part to a solid-feel metal build and rangefinder-like dials, sure doesn’t feel like it’s been compromised in order to arrive at its commendably affordable body-only price tag. The Fujifilm X-T10 is our pick as the best bang for your buck.
