Seems like a simple choice, no? Are they the same price? They both have the same processor, but it’s possible that the newer X-A10 might have some improvements. The X-A10 is more expensive being newer and in seemingly better shape. I’m leaning towards it but hoping for opinions from users who have had hands on experiences with both cameras. Specially if any difference in screen brightness. -- hide signature -- Nothing to read here.

In reply to Swerky • Aug 20, 2022 I’m shocked that it’s the same processor but you are probably right! No changes in burst speed or video capabilities. Personally I would avoid any of the X-A series and spend a bit more on an X-E2/3 or X-T10/20 unless you want the kit lens. Unless you get an incredible deal on the X-A1/10 or really want that kit lens, i find the non-Xtrans Fuji cameras to lack the Fuji magic. What is it about the X-A cameras that appeals to you?

In reply to Swerky • Aug 20, 2022 1 Take into consideration that the X-A, X-M series and X-T100/200 were not made by fuji directly and do not have an X-Trans sensor, which is part of the fujifilm „magic“. i‘d say find a second hand X-E1/2 or X-T10…i found an X-E1, my first fuji camera, for something like 150€ used… OP Swerky • Contributing Member • Posts: 963 Re: Fuji X-A1 or X-A10? arjunmehta wrote: Actually the X-A10 has slightly better burst speed on paper. But I read that the X-A1 has deeper buffer depth. Anyway I’m not concerned with that. There are awkward differences between the two related to the fact that one (X-A1) is on a higher model range (one digit number), and the other is newer. I’m looking into the X-A models, and specifically the older ones with the 16mpx sensor where I believe the Fuji magic lies (my opinion based on studio tests and samples I’ve seen), regardless of X-Trans or Bayer, because they are basically affordable models, and I can thus find one for a good deal and in very good condition. I’m also looking for the most compact model (no evf) and a tilt screen, not fixed nor fully articulated. So very precise requirements. I’m lucky on having found on local market an X-A1 in very good condition and an X-A10 in pristine condition. Looking to decide which one I get, if they don’t get sold before. -- hide signature -- Nothing to read here.

But AF performance wont be any different as both use contrast detect AF. The X-A1 feels considerably better built than the X-A10. The X-A10 felt really cheap with hard plastic (The dials were still metal) and I sold it almost immediately. It also had some firmware issues too that bothered me (Magnified view had a firmware bug with non-native lenses, where the LCD screen became blurry). The X-A10 did have a better resolution LCD than the X-A1. hwchiu • Regular Member • Posts: 273 Re: Fuji X-A1 or X-A10? In reply to Swerky • Aug 21, 2022 1 If LCD visibility under the sun (or in bright-light environment) is important to you please note X-A1 features "Sunlight Monitor mode" activated by holding the "Q" button. It makes life easier to compose under the said environment. Another hold the the "Q" button de-activates it. X-A10 does not have this feature. selected answer This post was selected as the answer by the original poster. OP Swerky • Contributing Member • Posts: 963 Re: Fuji X-A1 or X-A10? 1 I didn't consider beforehand having a use for the hotshoe. I'm just looking for a compact camera to use casually. But who knows I might have a use for such a viewfinder as I'm looking to mount on the camera a prime lens. Never paid attention to those. Thank you. -- hide signature -- Nothing to read here.

The X-A10 may have better battery life and higher screen resolution (not sure if it practically makes a difference), but the X-A1 also has key features that are important to me.

In reply to Swerky • Aug 21, 2022 @ Swerky, X-MI while not listed in your options also features "monitor sunlight mode". I have an X-MI but have not used an X-A1 yet according to information on the internet the only difference is X-MI has a x-trans sensor while X-A1 has a Bayer sensor, if that is something you might consider.

Basically I was also looking for a small ‘pocketable’ Fuji that I could use my existing lenses on. My initial searches took me between these two cameras you mention as well as the X-M1. I also browsed the X-A3/5. However, if you didn’t catch that thread I actually ended up getting an X-E1 and was not disappointed. I’m not sure what the market is like with you but I was struggling to find any good condition models of the X-A/M cameras for much less than £150 here in the UK. I then found an X-E1 for £165 which I was super happy with. Just a thought.
