I purchased the Fuji XF10 in 2020 because I found one at a very good price, and I was curious about a "Ricoh GR III alternative". I did shoot with the camera for a year or two and gave it to a friend, because I no longer used it as often as other cameras that I have. Fast forward to 2025, I thought it would be a great time to revisit this camera, so I borrowed it (took it back for a while) from that said friend, and did some shutter therapy with it recently. I think Fujifilm should definitely bring the XF10 back! There is clearly a huge demand for compact, advanced cameras with larger sensor and designed for street photography - an updated XF10 with much improved AF, weather-sealing, built in image stabilization and tiltable-LCD screen would have been a huge hit! I talked about this in my latest video here (click).
Please support me & keep this site going:
I would expect that as modified (better AF, weather sealed, and IBIS) would result in a camera that would sell for about $1,000+ US. Cheaper than the current X100 but certainly not inexpensive. My solution is an E-PL7 + Pany 14mm f2.5 (and a 25mm or 45mm in a small bag). Of course the X100VI is out of stock at B&H (at it's list price), but available tomorrow from Amazon for $2,124. Why should Fuji do anything but pump out as many X100s as possible?
