I've had this camera since its release, I own quite a few top end DSLRs but i find this camera back in my hand year after year, its got a lovely rendering that has quite a cult following now. I love it, its compact, with a super sharp lens, fantastic film like vibe from the sensor and has some amazing features like a 1cm macro mode, film simulations, stabilizing aids and EXR. Its so easy to carry around, and because of the zoom function and compact build you can get so many keepers from this camera. I have a massive print from this camera up at my workplace which reminds me how good it is and how my other expensive gear would have missed the moment, especially if you're shooting with mainly primes which I do. Small cameras are discreet, light and more importantly fast, so for street photography this Fuji fits the bill with the bonus of a zoom. If they made a modern apsc version as good this with all the functions, macro, etc i think alot of my gear would be sold.
Great insights! As a musician, I’ve opted to use my “beater” instruments, knowing I can just have unhindered fun with them, without the “mendokusai” of having a “work tool” around my neck. That decision often means I have to explain to laypeople and students why I choose simplicity over the latest and greatest tech or gear. I’m usually met with blank stares. If I can get the results I need with a tool like this, its function outweighs any quirks. I’m all about it! I appreciate your philosophy-I can relate! (Getting a used X30 next week!)
I just purchased this camera 3 days ago. Its funny, I also shoot the Nikon Z series cameras for professional work and I have about every other brands except Fujifilm. I was looking for a simple, small camera to ride around with me for an EDC. I have also been drawn to the 6-12 MP sensors for that special look that is reminiscent of film. I have been curious about this series for awhile and I love the styling. Looking forward to using it more. You tube over emphasises always upgrading when if you have the right light and the right composition, a 20 year old camera will produce great results. Let’s face it, if your just putting images to social media (as most of us do) 6mp and above is really all you need. Old cameras are fun
I totally agree! Been having great fun shooting with the FujiFilm X10 and it has been helping me focus on the light and composition more and more! I hope you get lots of great pictures with your new camera!
Totally agree, it´s great camera. I own one for almost 8 years now and others came and went, but this one stayed. Your comment about the "film-look", is the secret tom me how to make this camera work. Not pumping up clearity and Co.but going to a creamier softer look works great. The only thing that I don´t like about the 10, is that it´s not the 30. I would love to have that sensor and the digital viewfinder. Cheers
a digital viewfinder would be nice for sure, but getting used to shooting with the back LCD monitor. I'll try your editing suggestion with my current batch of images from.paying around yesterday, thanks!!
I have a x10 and a x30 and since x30 is more bulky i often pick the x10 to go for a walk, i love them both, the viewfinder and the screen is awesome in the x30 but the portability of the x10 is great. The x10 was the camera that made me leave Canon for Fujifilm, i'm now a proud owner of a x10, x30, x-t1, x-t5 and a instax mini evo and i use them all.
I know just what you mean. If the X10 had just the EVF from the X30 but nothing else, I wouldn't keep my X30, I prefer the EXR sensor and mode to the X-Trans sensor of the X30
I have his Brother the X20, since 2015, and It's a fantastic caméra, especially the super macro mode 😍 and the choices of Velvia or Provia is amazing, and I am exactly in the same vibe, to travel with photography, be leight, and be happy! 😅🤗
@@jasonhalaykophotography More information in the viewmeter, X-TRANS 2 processor, of X20, is better in RAW, EXR processor of X10, IS better in JPEG, a part of that, It's the same camera 📷😍
Would getting one of the smaller APS-C Z cameras (like the Zfc, Z 50, or Z 30) also work in your situation? I feel that it could potentially help with having a familiar menu workflow, etc., while still being more compact and relatively inexpensive (though you might still run into the lens indecision issue that you had mentioned). (also just some constructive criticism, but when you set your hands down on the table, it makes a kinda distracting pounding noise since it's right next to the mic)
I think using a camera like that would be great for sure! And if you are worried about lens indecision just take one and only one out with you. I have been doing that a lot when shooting with my Z9 for fun. Thanks for the mention about the noise with my hands. Been trying to stop doing that but still getting used to using such a good mic, hahaha
I wanted to purchase this camera but a photographer that used to have it said to me that it is not too cool as the people say and, that makes me feel a little bit down for go for it haha!. I use the Z5 in weddings and is an a amazing camera. But a I need that part that you said about having fun with a little equipment!!. Is possible get some good ahits with the film simulation and get them I my phone immediately?! Greetings from Mexico and thank you for time strange to get it again! 😅
Thanks for great comment. And don’t worry, your English is great! The Z5 is a great camera for sure, but ya, picking up something small for fun is great too. Don’t worry what other people say and just do what feels right to you. Good luck with your shooting!!
Nice. Looking forward to your “street” pictures. Really like the ones you showed in this video 👍 stopped my “pro” photography and just sold my good old D700. Fantastic camera but way too heavy takes away the fun for private use in street or family.
Great! Thanks for checking out the video, and happy to hear you liked the images I showed in it. I will drop a "street shooting" video tomorrow! Super heavy cameras are super nice, but maybe not the best for family/street shooting eh.
I’ve just sold my ten year old X20 for near the price I paid for it new. The next owner, who will buy it from a dealer, will undoubtedly pay what I paid all that time ago. UK£400
Yes, my video controls the global used camera market, hahaha. The X10 and many other used cameras are very popular for a wide variety of reasons. Sucks for me too as there are other cameras I would have loved to have tried, but that’s the way it goes these days.

The Fuji X10 is my favorite camera to shoot with, it fill me with joy!💜
Great to hear!!! I’m still enjoying mine as well. So simple and fun to use.
Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment.
Fuji X10 is a cool fun camera to shoot with! 💜 the video, thanks!
Cheers! I have been enjoying it a lot since I got it. Gotten some great street shots with it!
I have X10 since 2012. Looks like I don't need an upgrade at all. Thank you
If you still enjoy using it than no, probably good 👍
Totally agree on that, I also enjoy the street walks with my X10 very much.
Great!! Walking with a camera is great fun. Decent exercise too. Keep it up!
Really interesting, Jason! What a surprising little camera! You got some amazing images out of it!
Super thanks!! It's a fun little camera to use for sure. I have a couple POV videos with the camera as well on my channel.
I agree. I also bought a x10 as a daily. It has an interesting exr sensor that give the best (DR) results in its 6 MP mode.
Cool. It is a great camera to have on you while going about your day for sure.

Fujifilm really need to upgrade the sensor and processor to 2023. This is an amazing camera!
It would be fun if they did that. Will be interesting to see what gets announced for 2024.
Just increase to 1inch 15mp would be enough for me.
Why did you choose the x10 nit the x20? Thx
Basically the price and availability in my area was better for the x10. And I prefer black, haha.
Nice. Looking forward to your “street” pictures. Really like the ones you showed in this video 👍 stopped my “pro” photography and just sold my good old D700. Fantastic camera but way too heavy takes away the fun for private use in street or family.

Super heavy cameras are super nice, but maybe not the best for family/street shooting eh.
I got one this week and I’m just struggling to find the proper film recipe
Ya, the X10 has very minimal recipes. Kinda forces you to edit it on your own. Good luck!
I’ve just sold my ten year old X20 for near the price I paid for it new. The next owner, who will buy it from a dealer, will undoubtedly pay what I paid all that time ago. UK£400
It’s pretty crazy eh. I only wish my Nikon D5 would have kept its value like that!
This is why they are $600 on ebay , thx bro
Yes, my video controls the global used camera market, hahaha. The X10 and many other used cameras are very popular for a wide variety of reasons. Sucks for me too as there are other cameras I would have loved to have tried, but that’s the way it goes these days.

In my phone* sorry for the bad English 😅
No need to apologies for understanding a second language!! Doing great!
tooo much talk!
Mate, you've got a RGB mic... How on Earth would you think anyone would take you seriously...?! XD
Who cares what mic he uses as long as the audio is good?
