Oh boy, I am complaining about this since at least two years already, and finally Fujifilm listened.

The issue?

When you shoot full AUTO, the camera records only JPEG files.

Some say this makes sense, as the AUTO mode is supposed to make it all for you and simplify your life.

And although I never shoot AUTO on my X-E3, it happens sometimes that I handle the camera to a friend or relative (or even to one of my little students). And since they are not familiar with photography, the AUTO switch comes in very handy.

The problem: it will write only JPEG files on the SD card. But even if it’s not me taking the pictures, it’s still my camera and my SD-Card, and I want always both, RAW and JPEG on my SD-card, as you never know, maybe there is some nice image there that could need a little tweak.

Also, here is another example a FR-reader made, and that shows how useful RAW capability in Full AUTO would be.

The FR-reader did set up the camera for long exposures, all full manual, and suddenly a beautiful bird came and rested shortly on a stone nearby. Without messing around with the settings, the FR-reader quickly switched the camera to AUTO and grabbed a picture of the bird before it flew away. And while in this case the Auto mode allowed him to capture the decisive moment, he would have loved to have the RAW file of that image too.

I strongly hope other Fujifilm cameras having the AUTO capabilities will get the AUTO-RAW capability via firmware update in near future. It would make the AUTO mode more useful for me.

And let’s hope they will adress also my other two big firmware complaints I have.

Fujifilm X-S10 with 26 Megapixel X-Trans Sensor

Well, I actually gave this for granted, that I did not even ask any of my sources about it.

But somehow I noticed that the comments were on fire lately, wondering if the Fujifilm X-S10 would have an X-Trans or a Bayer sensor.

Well guys, I have told you that the Fujifilm X-S10 will be a “mid-range” camera, and as all Fujifilm mid-range cameras, it will have an X-Trans sensor.

Only the entry level and very affordable Fujifilm X-A line and Fujifilm X-T*** line have a Bayer sensor.

Fujifilm X-S10: Fuji’s First Mid-Range Camera with a Deep Grip

According to our sources, the Fujifilm X-S10 will have a nice deep grip, which I know many of you will love to hear.

It will be Fuji’s first mid-range camera with a deep grip, as the X-E3 and the X-T30, but also the X-T200 and X-A7, have none to very small grips only.

The only other Fujifilm X series camera with a deep grip is the Fujifilm X-H1.

Fujifilm X-S10 Coming with X-T4 alike Selfie Screen

You guys are really getting better ;).

When we shared the first rumors of the upcoming Fujifilm X-S10, many of you predicted it would have a selfie screen (or let’s call it “vary-angle screen“, which sounds more “professional“).

Well, you were absolutely right.

The Fujifilm X-S10 will indeed have a selfie screen, and to be more precise, the X-T4 selfie screen (not the unique X-T100 screen).

In my opinion, unless you shoot selfie video/photos, the 3-way tilt screen of the X-T3 is the better way to go, as it will always stay nicely centered to your camera and never go in the way of your strap (I wrote about how annoyed I am that my Peak Design strap always covers the X-T4 selfie screen when I tilt it out).

Yep, you can tilt the X-T4 screen inwards to protect the LCD, but a ridiculously cheap X-T4 screen protector will do the same job.

The real advantage of the selfie screen is one, and only one: when tilted inwards, the camera looks even more vintage. And I like that :).

But if you stand behind the camera, and not in front, a regular 3-way tilt screen is just better.

To be fair, as a teacher during COVID-19 times, I must admit the selfie screen on my X-T4 served me very well. But if it wasn’t for that, I’d see no point in selfie screens.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-S10 Coming October 15

Just two weeks ago, we reported about a new Fujifilm camera registered under the name FF200001 and supposed to come on October 16.

Speculations on which camera it could be went pretty wild on the internet, but they were all wrong.

So let me set it right: Fujifilm will announce the Fujifilm X-S10 on October 15.

I have spoken ;).

I know, the leaked registration says October 16. I don’t know, maybe it has to do with time zones or so. But for most of us it will happen on October 15.

The initial leaked details about the Fujifilm X-S10 make it look pretty promising :).

Fujifilm X-S10: Fuji’s First APS-C Mid-Range MILC camera With IBIS

When we first published that Fujifilm would launch a new mid-range camera called Fujifilm X-S10, many of you thought this could be the successor to the forgotten Fujifilm X-S1.

But it’s not!

The Fujifilm X-S10 will be an APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera.

It will be a “mid-range” camera, hence be placed into the X-T30 and X-E3 segment. This means it won’t be crazy-cheap like a X-T200, but also not as expensive as the Fujifilm X-T4.

And most interesting, the Fujifilm X-S10 will be Fujifilm’s first camera in that mid-range segment to feature IBIS, a privilege until now reserved only to the high-end Fujifilm X-T4 and Fujifilm X-H1.

I hope this dissipates some of the confusion I was perceiving about it. :)
