The Fujifilm X-S10 marks an interesting shift in Fujifilm’s camera range. Until now, its more advanced mirrorless cameras have all featured external shutter speed dials, plus (depending on the model) external lens aperture rings and ISO dials. Instead, the X-S10 reverts to a regular mode dial as seen on countless competitors.

Fujifilm’s old-school approach to camera design and external exposure control has won it lots of fans, and is featured on the Fujifilm X-T4 flagship model, the rangefinder-style X-Pro3 and the super-compact X-T30. Fujifilm also makes more beginner-orientated models with conventional mode dials and exposure controls, namely the Fujifilm X-A7 and the X-T200.
