In short

The X-S10 supports all X-Trans IV recipes, including Classic Negative and Eterna, with full features.

Why it's the recipe body

The Fujifilm X-S10 combines the renowned X-Trans IV sensor with a DSLR-style body, making it a joy to handle. With in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) offering up to 6 stops, it becomes an excellent choice for handheld shooting. Its deep grip ensures comfort and control, making it suitable for long sessions. The X-Processor 4 enhances the camera's speed and performance, ensuring quick operation and stunning image quality. The sensor unlocks a world of film-simulation recipes, offering vibrant colours and nuanced tones that make every shot special. Whether you’re capturing landscapes or portraits, the X-S10 delivers beautiful results.

The X-S10 supports all X-Trans IV recipes, including Classic Negative and Eterna. Unlike early X-Trans IV models like the X-T30, it includes Clarity, Grain Size, and Colour Chrome FX Blue, offering photographers full creative control. Additionally, you can save white-balance shifts per custom slot, providing enhanced flexibility when crafting JPEGs straight out of the camera. This ensures each image reflects your vision.

The X-S10 introduced IBIS to the mid-range X-series, providing advanced stabilisation in a compact body.

The X-S10 offers IBIS, unlike the similarly specced X-T30 II, enhancing handheld shooting.
