Smartphones may be starting to phase out compact cameras but the Fujifilm XF10 is hoping to keep cameras relevant by targeting the smartphone generation. Designed as an upgrade to the Fujifim X70, this new pocket-friendly camera features a 24MP APS-C sensor and an 18.5mm f/2.8 lens. The body of the Fujifilm XF10 features a more professional design and carries a slimmed-down body with easy-to-use buttons and a fixed three-inch monitor.
These features and designs make the camera a fairly impressive device, but its focus on the casual photographer is what sets it apart from the competition. The lens lends itself nicely to the field of view used by most phone cameras, but the large sensor provides higher photo quality. The Fujifilm XF10 also uses a 1:1 square crop, which mimics the classic frame of Instagram.
