Each year, I write a comprehensiveguide to travel camerasbefore the snow begins to thaw.
Of course, theres more to it than that.
But for years, those two brands have dominated the mirrorless camera market while everyone else lags behind.
There are a lot of very good travel cameras.
There are very few as good as theFujifilm X-T1.
The Fujifilm X-T1 can run about $1,500 with a good kit lens.
To tackle this quandary, Fujifilm introduced the Fujifilm X-T10.
For all intents and purposes, its the same camera as the X-T1 but its price has been slashed.
Down to $799 for the body only.
In short, its kind of a big deal.
The awesome Fujifilm X-T1 had just one big drawback its price.
The Fujifilm X-T10 is the perfect answer.
And it makes me want to go back and re-write that guide to travel cameras I mentioned above…
It sports the same 16MP sensor and the same image processor as the X-T1.
Things like weather sealing, which will matter if youre white water rafting or doing war correspondence.
Very few of us do that.
Fujifilm also baked in a few new details to the X-T10.
It features a new 77-point autofocus system to analyze the frame and determine what should be in focus.
Instagrammers will feel right at home with this functionality.
[speaking of Instagram, say hello to us@instacoolist!]
Of the two kit lenses, I suggest considering the 18-55mm lens with an f2.8 minimum aperture.
With that 18-55mm lens,youll owe about $1099at checkout on Amazon.
Body only,youre looking at just $799.
Want a pro tip?
You might be able to find one for as low as $350.
Itll blow away the kit lens, and its a great focal length that will cover most shooting scenarios.
The new Fujifilm X-T10 will ship soon starting at $799.
The challenge will be talking up our friends at Nikon and Canon.
