FujiRumors has long rumored the X-S10 already (including how much it will cost).

Now nokishita confirms all our rumors and add a few details:

The main specifications of Fujifilm “X-S10” are 26.1 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, 5-axis in-body image stabilization that has an effect of up to 6.0 steps, X-Processor 4, 4K30p video, full HD 240p slow motion. It seems that it will be motion video, continuous shooting performance of 30 frames / second, 1.04 million dot vari-angle liquid crystal, 18 kinds of film simulation

So far that’s what nokishita says.

Here on FujiRumors we have also exclusively shared the following rumors (not yet confirmed by nokishita).

There are even more details about this camera leaked in the past here on FujiRumors. Just search for X-S10 on FR by clicking here.

The announcement is set for October 15, and of course there will be a big live blogging here on FujiRumors.

Fujinon XF Wildlife Photography Lenses Needed, Base ISO 100, Firmware Wishes and More – FR-Readers Wishlist Corner

Here is another roundup of wishlist shared by the FR-community to me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com.

Previous Wishlist Episodes:

Because it touches the wish expressed by Michel, Willy and Kenneth, I invite you to check out also our big Fujinon XF wildlife photography survey and other long telephoto primes articles we have previously shared (list below).

Overall, there seems to be a strong wish by the FR-community for longer primes.

But we know the stellar Fujinon XF200mm f/2.0 did not sell well, and hence it’s obvious that Fujifilm is now a bit reluctant to invest further in long lenses.

But keep in mind, the XF200mmF2.0 comes with a 1.4x teleconverter designed specifically for this lens, which transforms the XF200mmF2 lens basically in a 280mmF2.8 lens. So, with 1 single lens, here is what you get:

  • XF 200mmF2.0 = full frame 280mmF2.8 (f/2.8 DOF equivalent)
  • XF 280mmF2.8 = full frame 420mmF4.2 (f/4.2 DOF equivalent)

If you want to, you can check out our previous “long telephoto primes” related articles.

I also got many wishes regarding future cameras, but since this roundup is already hefty enough, I will share the “camera-wishlist” at a later point.

FINALLY!!! Fujifilm X-S10 Full AUTO Mode will Capture also RAW files

LEFT: AUTO mode on X-T30 *** RIGHT: X-S10 mockup by FujiRumors (not real camera)
LEFT: AUTO mode on X-T30 *** RIGHT: X-S10 mockup by FujiRumors (not real camera)

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.

Tony Northrup – Who Will Survive the Mirrorless War? Fujifilm is Safe, but Tony Keeps Doing One Error (With Respect to Tony)

Tony and Chelsea Northrup have updated their mirrorless predictions.

In short, they are most optimistic about Canon and Sony and they also think that Fujifilm is here to stay. About Fujifilm they say:

  • Fujifilm stock are doing great (unlike Nikon stock, which saw a massive long term drop)
  • loyal fanbase
  • when you get used to a Fuji and switch to something else, that something else feels ugly. Fun to shoot Fuji
  • X-T3 sales are really strong
  • Fujifilm said the camera division needs to justify itself with profits
  • cameras are 16% of overall Fujifilm company revenue
  • X-T4 is $1,600. But there are full frame cameras that are same price or cheaper (Nikon Z5 and Canon RP)
  • Fuji should improve AF
  • Fuji has less lens development than other camera brands
  • Tony says Fuji will stay in game and is not worried about its future
  • Fuji will gain market share as Panasonic and Olympus will leave camera industry
  • there will be lots of firmware updates and there will be a smaller GFX100

This is perfectly in line with the mirrorless shipment data we recently published, where Sony, Canon and Fujifilm are on top.

DPRTV Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 Review: “Unique Bokeh Rendition, but use Standard Electronic Shutter, as First Curtain ES Distorts Bokeh”

The Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 R WR is overall enjoying very positive reviews.

Sure, there are always those, who might not be familiar with such an extreme lens, so they go out and shoot at f/1.0 at a bright sunny day in super high contrast scenes and then complaint because it shows some fringing or because you can’t work without an ND-filter.

Or when reviewers say the bokeh is not good, and then it turns out they used electronic first curtain shutter, which distorts the look of the bokeh (as you can see from the image above). You should always use the standard electronic shutter (or mechanical shutter) if your goal is to get nice bokeh.

So, some of the “flaws” reviewers notice, are actually not issues with the lens, but faults of those, who use a radical fast lens with the wrong settings in the wrong conditions.

It’s clear: if you go for such an extreme lens, you better know about photography and how to handle specialty lenses like this one.

One of those guys, who know how to master such a lens, are Chris and Jordan from DPRTV, who now have published their hands on review of the Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 R WR.

You can see the video and read a summary down below.
