1. Configuration
The Fujifilm X-T10 is a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses. It features a compact design inspired by its predecessor, the X-T1. However, the weather resistance capability has been sacrificed to reduce costs. The X-T10 boasts an APS-C CMOS sensor with 16.3MP resolution and EXR Processor II image processing supporting ISO range of 200 – 6400.
The X-T20, with its nostalgic appearance, polished look, and sturdy build, receives high praise. Inside the camera body is the X-Trans CMOS III sensor with 24MP resolution, accompanied by the X-Processor Pro image processor that ensures sharp image quality with excellent detail and smooth color transitions even in challenging lighting conditions. The outstanding configuration allows photos taken with the Fujifilm X-T20 to have high resolution, making large-format printing much easier.
2. Features
The X-T10, with advanced sensor and image processing, delivers sharp, true-to-life images. It can shoot up to 8fps and records Full HD videos at 60fps. The 77-point contrast-detection autofocus system ensures fast focusing, taking only about 0.06s per frame. Its versatile and adaptable focusing modes make it a strong contender. Equipped with various special effects, the X-T10 enhances image quality, allowing you to capture 'artistic' photos without relying on editing applications.
On the other hand, the X-T20 features a 16MP X-Trans CMOS II sensor and EXP II image processor supporting ISO range of 100 – 12800. It shoots at 8fps and can record 4K at 30fps and Full HD at 60fps. The outstanding 325-point autofocus system with 91 contrast-detection points earns high praise for image quality, sharpness, and effective noise reduction at high ISO levels.
3. Autofocus System
The X-T10's autofocus system has only 77 points, including 49 contrast-detection points. In contrast, the X-T20 boasts an impressive 325-point autofocus system with 91 contrast-detection points and a new autofocus algorithm that excels at tracking moving subjects. Both cameras have a mechanical shutter speed of 1/4000s and can capture 8 frames per second. Overall, when it comes to autofocus systems, the X-T20 is the right choice for professional photographers.
4. Battery Life
In general, Fujifilm cameras have a stable battery life that meets user needs. While the Fujifilm X-T10 can capture 270 photos on a single charge, the X-T20 has the capability to capture 350 photos. If you find the battery life insufficient for your photography needs, you can invest in a Fujifilm camera battery grip for stable performance, fast charging, and a compact design, ideal for extended outings.
5. Noise Level and Image Quality
The Fujifilm X-T20 camera with a high ISO range of 100-12800 combined with advanced ultra-high ISO settings performs better in noise reduction compared to the X-T10. It is highly regarded for image quality and noise handling. The powerful performance from the sensor and processing chip ensures that photos taken even at the highest ISO remain smooth without compromising image quality. The film-like colors have a smooth depth, and the tones maintain a perfect natural look even in low-light conditions.
The X-T10, despite its compact size, delivers relatively good image quality compared to other cameras in its price range. The camera has an ISO range from 200 to about 6400. However, when the ISO is pushed to higher levels, the image quality does not maintain the original sharpness, exhibiting color smearing and loss of detail. The main reason is the camera's attempt to escape from noise, resulting in excessive smoothing of image details.
6. Pricing
The listed prices for the X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20 are 18,990,000 VND and 20,990,000 VND.
Among the current Fujifilm camera models, both X-T10 and X-T20 are favored by newcomers and professional tech enthusiasts. Fujifilm X-T20 stands out with superior features and configuration compared to X-T10. However, the price difference between the two models is also a consideration. If your photography needs are not too demanding, X-T10 is still a reasonable choice.
