Fujifilm FinePix X10 Appareil photo numérique Réflex 12 Mpix Noir

Je viens d'acheter un second X10 (en août 2014, pour offrir) dans une offre éclair pour 225€ et ayant la paire D800/D800e, je me suis amusé à faire cette comparaison.

La première particularité de ce boitier est d'utiliser un zoom 4x à grande ouverture (f/2 à f/2.8). J'utilise des zooms f/2.8 dans mes D800... mais Nikon n'a pas de zoom 4x dans cette gamme, ce qui m'oblige à utiliser 2 zooms différents et 2 boitiers pour couvrir la même gamme de focale.
Bien sûr, ce compact n'a pas l'accès à l'ultragrand angle ni aux très gros téléobjectifs... mais il couvre avec un seul zoom les focales courantes pour aller du paysage au portrait.

Je peux faire directement des panoramiques avec le X10... alors qu'avec le D800, je dois utiliser photoshop pour assembler les images.

La qualité des images du X10 est suffisante pour faire des livres photo au format courant A4. Et la taille des fichiers images permet de les envoyer par email, et leur définition est bien supérieure à un écran HD 1080p.
Bien entendu, avec un D800, je peux réaliser des livres photo au format A3 sur papier HD. Mais je ne peux pas envoyer une image par mail, à moins de la réduire. Et lorsque je place 50 images sur un serveur, mes amis hurlent sur le temps de téléchargement.
J'en suis réduit à envoyer des fichiers images de la même taille que ceux que je fais avec le X10.

Là où le X10 m'a surpris, c'est sur la gamme de lumière captée. Il ne fait pas tout à fait aussi bien qu'un D800 mais le test du portrait en intérieur près d'une fenêtre m'a surpris sur le peu de différences sur le rendu des couleurs et les détails dans les zones claires et les zones d'ombre (test fait avec le mode DR auto). Je m'attendais à beaucoup moins bien, pour un appareil compact.

La définition du zoom est excellente sur toute la gamme de focales. Bien sûr, en position grand-angle et à l'ouverture maximale, les bords et angles sont adoucis, mais ce défaut s'estompe si on ferme à f/5.6. En position télé, la définition est excellente sur tout le champ même à pleine ouverture. On peut ainsi faire d'excellents portraits avec un flou maitrisé en arrière-plan.
Les distorsions et aberrations chromatiques sont corrigées en mode jpeg.

En pratique, j'utilise cet appareil avec la résolution 6Mp. La résolution 12Mp ne donne un gain visible que si on fixe une sensibilité basse (100 ou 200iso). Rester en 6Mp donne des images plus propres, à 800 et 1600iso (la grande ouverture de l'objectif et le stabilisateur permettent d'éviter d'aller plus haut, même en intérieur).

Toujours par rapport au D800, on peut ajouter l'absence de bruit au déclenchement, ainsi que le faible poids (surtout quand des zooms f/2.8 montés sur le D800). Et bien sûr, la différence de prix.

Pour faire de la photo de vacances ou de famille, cet appareil est vraiment agréable. Et bien qu'il n'ait pas plus de pixels que certains smartphones actuels, il capte des images que les smartphones ne peuvent faire.

J'adore l'utiliser!!!!!!!

J'ai choisi ce produit pour ses dimensions relativement compactes et la possibilité d'avoir un viseur optique. Son design retro m'a conquis.
Le produit arrive dans un emballage très soignés à l'image de l'excellente qualité du produit.

Les plus:

- Qualité de construction et matériaux impeccables. L'impression générale que donne cet objet, est d'avoir entre les mains un appareil solide et fait avec du matériel de qualité (métal, plastique et verre).
- L'appareil fait d'excellentes photos, l'optique est de grande qualité.
- L'optique est très lumineuse (2.0- 2.8).
- Distance focale 28 - 114 millimètres, c'est à mon avis un compromis parfait.
- Possibilité de faire les photos en RAW
- Le rendu des JPEG fait par le software interne de l'appareil est vraiment très bon, énormément de settings possibles.
- Beaucoup de modalités possibles, des plus classiques manuelles (PASM) aux différentes prises de vues automatiques.
- Mise au point précise et rapide.
- Bonne ergonomie après un petit temps d'adaptation.
- Petit mais excellent flash incorporé.
- Possibilité de brancher un flash externe.

Les moins:

- La batterie n' a pas énormément d'autonomie. Il faut prévoir une batterie de rechange.
- Il n'y a aucune indication dans le viseur optique (mode de prise de vue, exposition, ouverture du diaphragme, mise au point, etc...) il faut toujours se référer à l'écran LCD
- L'appareil ne dispose pas des fonctionnalités wifi et GPS.
- Selon la distance focale, le cadre de la photo vu à travers le viseur optique ne couvre pas complètement l'image effectivement enregistrée.

Mis à part ses petits défauts, j'ai énormément de plaisir à photographier avec cet appareil. Je le conseil vivement.

Plein de qualités, mais...

Au premier toucher, l'impression est des meilleures. Les fonctions, certes à exploiter dans des menus touffus et pas toujours très ergonomiques, sont nombreuses. Pour qui se penchera sur le mode d'emploi, l'appareil répondra au doigt et à l'oeil. Les premières images sont prometteuses. L'appareil tient son rang... mais risque de dérouter les novices ou ceux qui souhaitent viser-déclencher.

Par contre, j'ai eu deux mauvaises surprises au déballage : une notice en anglais (j'ai trouvé la version française sur le site Fuji France), mais surtout un chargeur flanqué d'une prise américaine ! En voyant "expédié par Amazon", je ne me suis pas méfié. Mal m'en a pris...

Après plusieurs semaines, deux soucis :
- les soucoupes dans les reflets (pas rédhibitoire)
- un autofocus qui est tombé en panne. En espérant que le SAV prendra en charge cette panne aléatoire qui rend l'appareil inutilisable tant il manque de fiabilité. Si le retour n'est pas satisfaisant, cet excellent boitier perdra toutes ses étoiles !

Could be your last chance

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 24 juillet 2016

In case you don't already know, the newest version in this range-the x30-has been recently discontinued. It is no longer available on Amazon or anywhere online. There are a few X10s still knocking around. Your only other option is the x70 with 28mm fixed lens. (If you want 28mm I'd recommend just getting the RICOH GR as it has a very handy zone focus function called Snapshot which enables you to pre-set the camera to focus at a specific distance such as 1-5 meters. This is like setting the distance scale on a camera lens, something you can no longer do with most modern compact cameras sadly). I bought the x10 ages ago and it produced images of a very similar quality to my xpro1 with the 18mm lens. Obviously resolution was improved on the xpro but the in-camera processing was very similar, especially for high contrast black and whites.
Now, the best kept secret about the x10 is its EXR mode. No other Fuji has this and it is quite magical. In EXR mode the camera will adjust to the required dynamic range and automatically work out the type of subject you are shooting. You could in fact use the camera on EXR all the time and get fantastic shots by simply taking the lens cap off and pressing the shutter. It is absolutely effortless and it really works. I think this is why many people still hang on to their x10s and have them repaired rather than upgrade to a newer camera. Mine still works and I still use it.
I've generally given up on FUJI camera after owning the x100s and the xpro. Doubt I'd invest in another as they are over-complicated and over-priced. The xpro 2 isn't much better than a Sony a6000 which costs around 500 these days. And their lenses are ridiculously expensive.
I plan to either sell or give away my cameras and buy a LEICA M with only 1 lens. However, I would still keep my x10. It really is that good.

Best travel camera ever...!

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 14 janvier 2019

This camera is fabulous. Plenty of other people have described its technical function so I won’t bother. I bought one of these new back in 2012 and have used it regularly since. It’s really versatile and can more or less take a good quality photo in any situation. I leave it on EXR mode and the camera works like magic. During the time I’ve owned this I’ve had DSLR cameras, an XPro and Sony A7. They are all good cameras in their own way, but for sheer versatility this camera is my goto almost every time. It’s small and light and has a lovely travelling case. It just takes great photos. It has a 12mp sensor and no doubt is not considered enough now, but since I have no intention of making huge prints the detail up to A4 size for framed pictures is just fine. Fuji upgraded the camera through 3 more iterations, but I don’t believe they made it any better and I have absolutely no idea why they didn’t keep it as it was with a few tweaks. Last year I bought another one and intend to carry one around with me, wherever I am, for the foreseeable future.

a camera for artists

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 2 octobre 2015

I was looking for a cheap camera a while back and stumbled on a reduced X10. I have had it for two years and it has changed my life. The images that this series of cameras produces are wonderful- The build quality is fantastic and the styling obviously is beautiful. I have taken my x10 with me stuffed into a small bag and it never lets me down. It doesn't have the xtrans sensor or 16 mpxs which makes the later models of the x series so desirable, however with the last firmware upgrade you have film simulation modes with really deep colour and the advanced filters in fuji are beautiful. It is capable of producing delightful surprises which have made me care about my photography as an art, no other camera I owned before this remotely did that. Even though I have upgraded my equipment since I still often find that I take my best shots with my x10.

Wonderful Camera - if you forget the instruction manual

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 11 octobre 2012

I would have given the Fuji X10 a top rating, but it is not without some annoying little problems which, thankfully, can be worked around.

Lets start with the reasons to own this camera. Firstly, the image quality is simply stunning and this, after all, is the most important aspect of any camera. To me the images look uncannily like transparencies on Fuji film and you can take your pick from Provia, Velvia and Astia. There is a strange 3-dimensional quality to them and the camera is exceptionally good at picking the best settings, if you simply leave it to it.

Secondly the handling is very satisfying. The camera is beautifully built and feels just right in the hands - not too small to be fiddly and not too large to be a chore to carry around all day, in the coat pocket if need be.

It is when you first take the camera out of the box that you meet the first problem - the strap seems to have been designed by a sadist. Fuji even have to supply a special tool to attach it to the camera and it seems cheap and feels intrusive on the hands at the side of the camera. My advice is to throw it away and fit a Leica 14312 strap - perhaps the most perfectly designed strap ever. They can be picked up easily on eBay.

But a bigger problem comes when you try to consult the instruction manual. It is a perfect example of how not to write an instruction booklet. Many of the sections are so obscure as to be opaque. For example, try figuring out from the manual how to set the C1 and C2 functions. Using the manual is not helped by the fact that, while there is a contents list, there is no index. A reference book without an index - can you believe it!

The basic menu system in the camera is actually quite intuitive. It is even easier after you install the latest firmware version 2.00, which converts the RAW button to access an excellent Quick Menu. This brings up most of the parameters you are likely to need to change on a regular basis. In contrast to the manual, Fuji's on-screen instructions for upgrading are a model of clarity.

So your best plan of action is to put the manual aside and just play with the camera. For finding some of the more esoteric functions, I would suggest an MI5 training course in code-breaking before diving into the deeper recesses of the manual. I have ordered Alexander White's idiot guide to the X10 from Amazon to serve as a reference.

My X10 arrived from Amazon in perfect condition, with none of the dust-in-lens problem reported by others. Also no "white orbs", so presumably it has the new sensor. I have encountered none of the problems reported by some reviewers in converting from RAW to jpeg in Adobe Camera Raw either.

So, to sum up: if you want a small, beautifully built camera with great image quality and one which feels just right in the hand, this is the one to go for. But be prepared to buy a better strap and be aware that the 2.00 firmware upgrade is essential to preserving your sanity.

Heir to compact film camera crown

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 11 octobre 2012

I bought this camera because it reminded me so much of the Leica CL I had back in the 70s, that was a film camera obviously and nowadays film photography is a dying art with film hatrd to find. The Leica CL was built like a tank and fitted with an astonishingly sharp lens, the Fuji X10 follows on from this, astonishlyly good build quality considering its current price on Amazon is only £319, and its fast 4x zoom lens is sharp edge to edge, even at full aperture.
Last year (2011)I bought a Nikon V1 kit, thinking this would be the quality compact camera I was looking for, I was wrong, the Nikon 1 series of cameras are simplistic, they have awful menus and mediocre lenses, and they are far too easy to switch into unwanted gimmicky shooting modes mid way through using them due to them having over sensitive multi function mode selection switches - modes that that cause great delays and embarrassment while waiting for the quirky and useless Nikon 1 series gimmick shooting settings to subside.
The Fuji X10 on the other hand has a logical layout of controls, feels like a 'real camera', is flexible for both the snapshotter and the enthusiaist due to its vast array of control settings - all of which are acceesed from sturdy, reliable switches or dials. The X10 has controls which look and feel very much like a quality rangefinder camera from the 1960's. Aside from the quality of construction, precision and reliability of its controls, this is a camera that manages (almost unbelievably)to deliver very high quality images from what is in reality a very small imaging sensor. The provision of a number of film modes, Astia, Velvia and Provia for colour as well as monochrome with a selection of filter settings is welcome, and really helps the user to tailor the Fuji X10 to his/her photographic needs.
On the down side - battery life is poor, so buy some spares, low light performance at high iso settings is a bit muddy too (800iso+), unless you opt for the X10's EXR settings and dont mind a reduction from 12MP to 6MP. Othewise use this camera at 100-400 ISO settings and be amazed at what is can deliver straight from the box as jpegs. The X10 has a raw mode built in, but as yet the X10's raw format is not very well supported by computer graphics applications, so it is best to use the camera's integral raw processing controls to squeeze the quality from them or simply rely on the JPEG output which rarely fails to impress.
This is the compact digital camera you have been dreaming about! Buy one, you wont be disappointed!
