Fujifilm Financial Report Q3 says X-T10 sells Strong… but it’s Still Instax to Rule Them All!

The latest Fujifilm Report (Q3) is online:

The overall sales in the photo imaging business increased due to the strong sales of instant photo systems centering in the United States and Europe.

Though the sales volume largely decreased due to the shift to high-end models, the sales of premium digital cameras X Series centering on FUJIFILM X-T10 were strong.

In the Imaging Solutions segment, profit significantly increased, reflecting the increase of gross profits by strong sales of the photo imaging business and other  factors, while revenue decreased due to the shift to high-end models of digital cameras and others.

Special Mention again for the Instax Cameras, in particular the latest addition, the Selfie Instax Mini 70:

In the photo imaging business, the overall  sales significantly increased due to the  strong sales of instant photo systems such as instant cameras, instant films and  others centering on Europe  and the United States. Fujifilm strengthened a lineup  of instant cameras by  release of new product  “instax mini 70” in October”

Fuji X-T10 success story continues: “IQ better than many higher-end cameras. Easy to capture great-looking images”

 

Ok, let’s be honest: who among us would have bet a single dime on the success of the Fuji X-T10? Not many I guess… but we were proven wrong!

The latest Fuji financial report says the Fuji X-T10 is selling strong, dpreview compares it with the A6000, D5500 and O-MD E-M10 and says the Fuji X-T10 is hands down the most pleasurable of the bunch to use, and for what it’s worth, after playing with it for a while in a store, I also felt an unexpected attraction to it.

And the triumphal procession does not end here:

cameralabs tested the X-T10 and says:

As for the Fujifilm X-T10, its forte once again is image quality, delivering the best-looking photos of its peer group [O-MD E-M10II, A6000 & Lumix G7], not to mention better than many higher-end cameras. […]

The combination of Fujifilm’s unique sensor, faithful image processing and superb lenses makes it easy to capture great-looking images straight-out-of-camera without modification. Quite simply, the X-T10 is the mid-range mirrorless camera for those who prioritise photo quality over movies and other frills.”

The Fujifilm X-T10 also beats one of his strongest competitors, the Olympus O-MD E-M10II, in the test of focus-numerique (translation):

“[google translated] In the end, the two cases are very similar and each has advantages and disadvantages. Even between the two models point by point, a winner emerges not clear. We are in a duel, so you have to choose just one. And for us, this is the Fujfiilm X-T10.

Despite the versatility of optical Micro 4/3 park, we have a small penchant for bright optical Fujifilm and the ability to more easily create a rear blur (longer effective focal, generous openings). As soon as you go up the sensitivity, Fujifim housing also takes the upper hand over its competitor with a more refined and pleasant noise control.”

And one more: shutterbug says the X-T10 is “a Portable But Powerful Mirrorless Camera From A Venerable Brand

Latest Fuji Financial Report says: “Strong sales for Fujifilm X-T10!”

The latest Fuji financial report shows one more time, that it’s still the Fuji Instax world that keeps pushing Fuji’s imaging division into profits. Instax sells even better than expected, which is why “the targeted sales volume of instax for this FY has been raised from 4.6 million units to 5.0 million units.”

And what about the electronic imaging business (all kind of digital cameras & lenses)?

Overall the sales in the electronic imaging business decreaseddue to a decrease in the sales volume with the shift to high-end models […] in the optical device field, the overall sales decreased, due to weak sales of camera modules for use in smartphones

The report says the X-series sells strong, and a special mention goes to the Fujifilm X-T10.

The sales of premium digital cameras X-Series centering on the interchangeable lens camera,  FUJIFILM X-T10, launched in June 2015, were strong. FUJIFILM X-T10 can realize outstanding image quality and comfortable operability with a compact and  lightweight body.”

Good to know that I’m not the only one, who suddenly felt an unexpected attraction to the Fuji X-T10.

Curiosity: Adobe gave away hundreds of X-T10’s :: Now even more X-shooters are waiting for “improved X-TRANS detail rendering.” :-)

A FR-reader shared the following curiosity via email: “Adobe gave everyone in attendance of the MAX 2015 conference a year’s subscription to Adobe Stock and a brand new Fuji X-T10 camera“. Fuji X Forum members greatbigd is one of those, who got this nice freebie :)

I’d like to note that Fujifilm officially sponsored this event.

Now, after giving away hundreds of X-T10, dear Adobe, you have one more excellent reason to give us the famous improved X-TRANS detail rendering and overall edge definition you talked about here.

NOTE: Previous Fujifilm related Adobe improvements: improved load speed of X-Trans RAW images and Halo Effect Problem fix.
