Fujifilm XF10

It has been a busy year for Fujifilm. The company has announced many products, running the gamut from entry-level to professional cameras and lenses. Their latest product announcement falls into the former category. The new XF10 is an ultra-lightweight and compact fixed-lens camera featuring an 18.5mm f/2.8 Fujinon lens, 24-megapixel APS-C Bayer-filtered sensor and a touchscreen display. Let's take a closer look at the new XF10.

Compact form factor
Fixed 18.5mm (28mm equivalent) f/2.8 lens
24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
Native ISO range of 200-12,800, expandable to 100-51,200
Intelligent Hybrid AF system
Fixed 3-inch touchscreen LCD
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
4K/15p and 1080/60p video recording

The XF10 utilizes a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor with a traditional Bayer filter array and on-sensor PDAF pixels, like some of Fujifilm's recent entry- and mid-level cameras, including the X-A5 and X-T100. This helps clarify what some users might be wondering, is the XF10 an X70 successor? Likely not officially, as the discontinued X70 used a 16-megapixel X-Trans II sensor and was more enthusiast-oriented, although the two cameras are similar in spirit, offering a compact travel-oriented camera with a fixed 28mm equivalent lens.


Panasonic Lumix LX100

Panasonic's first large-sensor, enthusiast compact camera is here, and it's a beauty! The 12.8-megapixel Panasonic LX100 opts for a slightly larger body than most rivals, but that also frees up room for the same generous sensor size used in the company's Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Paired with a bright zoom lens and a powerful processor, the result is an enthusiast-grade compact that takes really great photos, day or night! Does the LX100 belong at the top of your wish-list? Find out now in our detailed Panasonic LX100 review!

Pros:

Very good image quality; Great performance in most respects; Bright zoom lens with good macro performance; Photographer-friendly body easily fits in a coat pocket or small bag; Roomy, high-res built-in viewfinder; Decent battery life

Cons:

Won't fit in a pants pocket; Relatively low resolution by modern standards; Zoom lens has only a modest telephoto; Soft corners at wide or tele positions; Aperture dial is too easily bumped; Bundled flash is fairly weak

The Panasonic LX100 strikes a middle ground between the two approaches. It's a fair bit bigger than an RX100-series camera or Canon's simultaneously-launched G7X, but it's also a fair bit less tall and thick than a G1X-series camera, and much lighter. On balance, it's probably more comparable to the pocket cameras in proportion, even if its a bit too deep to be considered pants-pocket-friendly itself.

And compared to its rivals that will fit in a pants pocket, the Panasonic LX100 sports a much bigger sensor. Where its rivals are all based around 1"-type chips, Panasonic has opted for the same 4/3"-type sensors it uses in its mirrorless cameras, and that offers almost double the surface area of a 1"-type chip. (Note, though, that the LX100 doesn't use all the available area for any single aspect ratio.)

The difference in sensor real-estate shows itself in sensitivity: Panasonic allows the LX100 to roam to ISO 25,600 max., when all of its rivals are limited to ISO 12,800 or below.
