A Fujifilm X10 is known as a 12-megapixel lightweight camera having manual controls, a larger-than-average, 2/3” kind EXR CMOS sensing unit, a 28-112mm (eq.) f/2.0-2.8 zoom lens along with a recently created Optical Image Stabilisation system. Resurrecting the 2/3” sensor dimension which was typically identified in bridge digital cameras till the middle of the last decade, this Fujfilm X10 comes with a sensitivity selection of ISO 100 to ISO 5000, a expanable to ISO 12800 at decreased image resolution. This brand new sensing unit also provides all of the usual EXR capturing modes which permit the user to provide priority to signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range or image resolution based on the personal specifications of every shot. Just like its big brother the X100, Fujifilm’s X10 is not so much launching as leaking out a drip at a time. Now we have some proper product shots and specs for the high-end digicam intended to go up against the Canon G12, the Nikon P7100 and the Panasonic LX5.
The biggest similarity to the retro-styled X100 is the use of manual knobs and dials: Everything from aperture and shutter speed to exposure compensation and zoom are controlled by dials. There’s an optical viewfinder, too, but likely not the innovative hybrid electronic/optical found in the X100.The zoom is 4x, the top ISO is 12,800 (although you’ll need to drop to a lower resolution to get it) and the rear LCD is a disappointing 2.8-inch, 460,000-dot model.Other leaked specs include auto-bracketing of exposure, ISO, dynamic range and film simulation modes, and a “360-degree motion panorama” feature.From previous rumors, we’re expecting the price to be around $500, and the rumblings in the Internet say that the official launch may be tomorrow. If the image quality is goo, and Fujifilm didn’t mess anything else up (like the viewfinder), then this manually-controlled camera could be quite the hit.
