Our quick take
Fujifilm X10 - 4.0 / 5
Retro style
Optical excellence
Performance perfection
Image quality - the highs and lows
To recap
A compact like no other: the X10’s retro style is met with excellent performance, an impressive viewfinder, a superb manual zoom lens and bags of on-body controls that make for ease of use. It’s the perfect partner for discerning shooters and far better than similar high-end compacts. However the impressive image quality is marred by a processing issue that can render specular highlights as oversized white orbs and, unless there’s a future firmware fix, this could cost the X10 dearly.
