Try and handle both. The IQ is exactly the same, the build quality is mostly the same and if the rangefinder style and traditional dials are important then X-E4 is the one for you. Conversely the X-S10 is the one if you are happy with a PASM dial and IBIS.

I went to purchase an X-E4, tried both back to back with a selection of primes and zooms, and came away with an X-S10. The X-E4 is a gorgeous design (especially in silver/black like my X100v),  compact and seemed to be the one till I picked it up. I just couldn’t warm to it.

Without the extra cost grip/bracket it felt slippery to me and any size/cost advantage went out of the window once the grip was attached. I preferred my trusty X-E3’s handling even with its fixed screeen.

Handling the X-S10 was a real eye opener. The grip is fantastic, the ergonomics are excellent and even with a 70-300mm attached, it felt balanced and ‘right’. It is a delightful camera.

Both are superb cameras and the choice between the two is a personal one. I read all the reviews, Mirrorless Comparison and Maarten Heilbron amongst many, and though I am a diehard FujiFilm traditionalist, the X-S10 has truly surprised me with its combination of compact size, weight and X-T4 innards.
