The Fujifilm Finepix X10's lens has a fast aperture of f/2.0 at the 28mm wide-angle setting and f/2.8 at full telephoto, which in combination with the extensive ISO range of 100-3200 at full 12 megapixel resolution makes the X10 well suited to low-light shooting, allowing you to hand-hold the camera in places where you'd usually be reaching for a tripod (if allowed) or other support, especially as the camera also features built-in optical image stabilisation. Where the X100 is very much a niche product thanks largely to its non-interchangeable 35mm fixed focal length lens and strong emphasis on a manual way of shooting, the new X10 is aiming at a wider market, instead sporting a 4x, 28-112mm zoom lens that will instantly appeal to more people. In an age where digital cameras are virtually ubiquitous, the Fujifilm X10 stands out by a mile thanks to it unique styling and bullet-proof build quality, not to mention a wealth of photographer-friendly features. The X10 is a classically styled camera that recalls film rangefinders from the past, with a beautiful retro design that can't fail to impress everyone that sees it, and definitely everyone that holds it. The Fujifilm Finepix X10 takes many of its design cues from its incredibly popular big brother, the X100, sharing very similar retro styling and control layout. The Fujifilm Finepix X10 is available in black priced at $599.95 / £529.95.


Other key features of the Fujifilm X10 include an ISO range of 100-12800, full range of manual controls, Fujifilm's EXR shooting modes, optical image stabilisation, raw image capture, a hot-shoe, an integrated manual pop-up flash, film simulation modes, 360° motion panoramas, 1cm macro mode and an electronic level gauge. The Fujifilm Finepix X10 is an advanced compact camera that offers a retro design, 12 megapixel 2/3-inch EXR CMOS sensor, a 4x, 28-112mm, f/2.0-2.8 zoom lens with a manual zoom ring, optical viewfinder, 1080p movie recording, 7fps burst shooting and a 2.8-inch LCD monitor with a resolution of 460,000 dots.
