Anyone get their hands on the xs10 that can confirm or deny if you can save recipes ?

Yes, you can save recipes on C1-4.

Thanks that’s disappointing. That’s a major difference between existing models that none of the reviews mention. I have xt2 and was going to UPGRADE for the new simulation stuff.

I'm confused - why is an improvement disappointing?

Because going from 7 to 4 without the ability to name them like the EXISTING line has. I use recipes. I like recipes. I wanted the lower entry bar because I gave the f2 35mm. But gonna just get the 100v.

"...going from 7 to 4..." - yes.

"... without the ability to name them..." - no.

And there’s not a single review that mentioned them. Hence disappointing. It’s a software thing and not anything hardware related.

I'm not a jpeg shooter, this camera was a total non-starter for me because it can't be set up at all like my three existing Fuji cameras - no MCS switch on the front, no d-pad, no exposure compensation on the front dial, no marked dials, everything in wrong place etc. I just assumed it must, at least, be optimized for the jpeg/recipe crowd, but that doesn't seem the case either. Other than IBIS, does this camera look like a step forward to any current Fuji users? Video people, maybe? The more I look at how this thing is configured, the more it looks like a dumpster fire of a camera to me.

As I'm not jpeg shooter too, I'm glad I can now store much more camera settings than jpeg related ones into custom slots. And, I can have totaly different camera behaviour by rotating only one dial, which is fast and bulletproof. If someone prefers to have a dedicated mechanical element for each camera function, so be it. I rather program my whole camera settings into memory banks. So, it's step forward to me.

[I was thrilled when I bought my first Fuji camera (X-E2) and there were 16 customizable slots in 7 banks in Quick menu. Until I realised I couldn't store almost anything I wanted. So, I didn't buy into Fuji for dedicated mechanical control for everything, but for IQ/size ratio and lenses.]
