Fujifilm Instax SQ10 = Digital Camera + Instax Camera All-In-One

Fujifilm has confirmed that the Instax SQ10 will be a Digital + Instax Camera kind of… If you’re a longtime reader of the site I once wished that they still made Instax cameras that saved the images to digital storage and Fujifilm’s latest teaser of the SQ10 states that “It’s not the first time Fujifilm combined a digital camera with an Instax Camera. Fujifilm Finepix PR21 (1999) vs Fujifilm Instax Square SQ10 (2017).” So maybe dreams do come true…

Fujifilm X100F DPReview Gold Award and More


The Fujifilm X100F received the coveted Gold Award from DRPreview today, because their is a lot to love about the X100F. If you have ever owned a X100 camera you know how great they are and if you haven’t you should pick one up.

ProsCons
  • Excellent image quality in Raw and JPEG
  • Sensational JPEG color
  • Ergonomics that match the classic looks
  • Hybrid viewfinder is delightful
  • Improved speed of focus and operation
  • In-camera Raw conversion and Wi-Fi
  • Bigger battery with percentage display
  • USB charging is convenient
  • Output of X-Trans sensor not to everyone’s taste
  • AF speed not up to contemporary standards
  • Face detection limited and unreliable
  • 1080p video seems outdated
  • ISO dial prettier than it is practical

You can read their full review here.

Additional Reviews
The Photo Fundamentalist (Part2) released a review of the Fujifilm X100F saying ” Image quality appears to be absolutely fantastic, not just from the lens, but the sensor (shared with the X-T2) is also really impressing me. I will do a separate piece on image quality from the X-Trans III sensor, but I’m certainly not feeling any real concern at this point in time.”

Photoreview gave the Fujifilm X100F a 8.8 overall saying “The increased resolution and improvements to performance – particularly buffer capacity – make the X100F a worthwhile update that should appeal to fans of Fujifilm’s rangefinder cameras.”

Macfilos writes a second take on the Fujifilm X100F with some good and bad this time.
