Fujifilm XF10 Review
The Fujifilm XF10 ($499.95) may not be the direct successor to the discontinued X70 in model name, but it certainly is in spirit. Like the X70, the XF10 is a pocket-friendly camera with an APS-C image sensor, the size found in many SLRs and mirrorless cameras. Its image quality is excellent, thanks to a sharp wide-angle lens and a class-leading image sensor. But performance is a bit spotty, with focus slower than what we're used to seeing in a modern camera, and an image processor that doesn't include some of our favorite Fujifilm profiles.
Gorgeous Finish
The XF10 is easily one of the best-looking cameras on sale today, at least if you buy it in the gold finish we received for review. The body is metal, with a finish to match. Its contrasted by a brown leatherette, with a pattern that reminds me of alligator leather. Fujfilm also markets the XF10 with a black finish, which isn't as head-turning, but remains classy.
