The Fujifilm X10 Digital Camera is a fun point-and-shoot that
does more than its name implies. Designed with manual mode, HD video
capture, and RAW shooting capabilities the X10 begs to be your creative
option when a DSLR isn't the most practical option. As such, the X10 is
of course lightweight, yet made from die-case magnesium, giving that a
bit of that old-school look and feel. Adding to that look, and
usability, would be the camera's viewfinder and built-in flash.
It's also well equipped. As the aforementioned features suggest, this is
more than a snapshot camera. The 12Mp 2/3" EXR CMOS sensor captures
both high res stills and 1080p HD video. The lens is a 28-112mm (35mm
equiv) zoom with an f/2.0-2.8 aperture and manual zooming capabilities.
This Fujinon lens also features a proprietary Super Electron Beam
Coating which ensures high quality image capture from any point on the
lens.
When you'd like to review images or shoot using the monitor, the 2.8"
LCD screen has you covered. This display features high-contrast viewing
that makes it easy to see, even when outdoors. No matter how you frame
though the camera gives you the option to capture in RAW or JPEG
formats. You can also take advantage of in-camera RAW processing. Film
Simulation Modes area helpful as well to give you photos a look all
their own.
Additional features of the X10 include functions like the electronic
horizon leveling gauge. This gauge ensures level images, without a
tripod. Another useful option is the Motion Panorama 360° feature for
seamless panoramic shooting. There's also the Fast power start-up for
image capture in as little as 0.8 seconds.
