Clarissa Explains The Fujifilm X-S10

NXT Angel Clarissa goes for a long walk with Fujifilm’s compact X-S10 mirrorless camera

The Fujifilm X-S10 camera is an all-around mirrorless camera when it comes to shooting pictures or videos, and it boasts a compact mirrorless camera body that’s perfect for someone like me who values convenience. It is not only powerful but portable too! So much is packed into this camera, and I will be going into details in the rest of this article. To me, this is a camera that expresses my mood, that lets me tell a story, and the pictures look like they are ‘straight out of the camera’.

Firstly, what I love about the X-S10 is that it has a small, compact frame that lightens the load on both my mind and body, letting me explore my surroundings more freely. It weighs a mere 465g, but it doesn’t compromise on build quality or high-end features. I really appreciate that the lighter load makes it really convenient for me to carry it around, and leaves me with more energy to make one more photo, or have more space to carry another lens. X-S10 also features an ergonomic grip, making it easier to keep the camera stable when larger lenses are mounted. It has a sturdy and strong build quality.

On the topic of lenses, the lens I used was the XF 55- 200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS lens, which is a telephoto zoom lens with excellent optical quality and on-lens image stabilisation. I like this lens because the focal range gives you the versatility for wide shots, or to zoom into your subject, and the autofocus is silent and reasonably fast. Paired together with the X-S10, the whole build is still compact and portable. Overall, the user interface was very intuitive and easy to navigate for beginners like me.
