Three Fujifilm Cameras Make National Geographic’s Best New Compact Cameras For Travelers List For The Third Time

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 1, 2022


National Geographic seems to be reserving 3 spots on its top 10 compact cameras list for Fujifilm because they have received three mentions in 2019 and 2021. This year National Geographic picked the Fujifilm X-T5 for its top spot, followed by the Fujifilm X100V and Fujifilm X-S10. The X100V and X-S10 have made previous lists, but the X-T5 has replaced the X-T4 on their list, which you can read here.

Fujifilm X-T5: B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

The XT series from Fujifilm—often our top pick—has had a major revamp this year with the XT-5. It can go toe-to-toe with professional full-frame mirrorless models and DSLRs in performance, autofocus, image quality, and handling. While the X-T5 has gotten a little smaller than the X-T4, it gained the fantastic 40 megapixel (MP) sensor from the X-H2, one of the most detailed APS-C sensors on the market, which makes it—in the authors’ opinions—the reigning champion of 2023 travel cameras.

One of the most impressive things about the X-T series is that it provides an enjoyable shooting experience for amateurs and pros by blending vintage dials with modern, professional-grade controls, weather sealing, and ports for video or still photography.

Fujifilm X100V: B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

When it was first released in 2011, the original X100 rocked the digital camera industry, revitalizing this legendary camera film brand and bringing retro styling to the forefront of camera design.

The latest, the X100V, brings a few significant changes. The lens has the same value (35mm f/2 equivalent), but the new design significantly increases sharpness corner to corner, both for wide-open and close-up images.

The camera’s body design adds nearly full weather sealing, a flip-out screen, and a slightly changed grip, as well as improvements to the control layouts (including a control stick). Fujifilm cameras produce the best JPEGs in the industry, with amazing film simulations; cameras in the X100 line are often the backup of choice for photojournalists. This one has a leaf shutter that can sync to high speeds with a strobe and a built-in neutral-density (ND) filter for combatting bright sunlight.

Fujifilm X-S10: B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

With an internally stabilized 26 megapixel APS-C sensor, the X-S10 features impressive ergonomics despite its smaller size. It also has contemporary unmarked command dials and a mode selector, compared to the retro style used on other Fujifilm bodies.

What do you give up for the affordability and compact size? It has a smaller battery, a single card slot, a smaller viewfinder, no weather sealing, and a slightly lower top shutter speed. But these are all fair trades in our book.
