Gen Z is driving demand for early 2000s vintage compact cameras at the same time that Fujifilm can’t keep the new-but-retro-looking X100VI in stock. But as I was browsing through some old compact camera options, I found the camera that meets both trends halfway: The Fujifilm X10.
First introduced in 2011, the Fujifilm X10 was designed as a compact camera for serious photographers that wanted to pack light and leave the DSLR at home. The X10’s sensor is a bit larger than the cheap compacts of that era yet smaller than the X100 series with 12MP 2/3-inch specifications. Unlike the X100 series, the X10’s smaller 2/3-inch CMOS sensor made it easier to put a zoom lens on the front with a 28-112mm f2.0-2.8 lens.
