X100s vs x70 vs xf10

I think it will come down to x70 or xf10 ( I will most likely miss the evf, but I had a nikon cpa, that I really liked. The x100s that I come across are not in the best of shape for the same price as the x70

I'm no fan of the gx80, i passed on it before i came over to fuji. That said i dont consider any of these 3 cameras a worthy upgrade. Although you dont exactley say why you are replacing your gx80 with one?

consider xe3 or xt30 atleast imo

Hiya,

thanks a lot for your reply, I believe those are my thoughts as well...and I am also leaning more towards the x70...I’m only a tad concerned about the no view finder...I live in the sunny south of France, but I did use the CPA in Morocco...pretty damn sunny there as well

My gx80 gave me pleasant photos with nice color, but something was always still off or felt a bit missing.

The white balance was’t always the most reliable and the interesting color look thag fuji gives wasn’t there and couldn’t be recreated in camera. I know that I could do it in post, but I don’t want to have to always pp my images. I know that IQ on a technical point is not all that different between m43 and apsc, but there is a difference andI miss the fuji look (in camera jpg) Ther is no classic chrome in the gx80 no matter what I try to do. Plus I like only using a fix lens, and I like the 28 - 35 mm fov...I do get an itch for macro or at least close-up from time to time, but not enough to warrant a macro lens purchase.

I also did consider the xe2 + 27mm but that is in line with the x100 s argument...the xe3 and onwards are too expensive ( considering a lens as well) with the amount I’ll get for the gx80 sale

all 3 are around the same price of 300€ ( xf10 is 250€)

I am selling my panasonic gx80 and am looking to replace it with one of these 3 cameras.

I know the x100s is the oldest, but has an evf that I like...

I also read about how bad the auto focus is on the xf10, but wasn’t there a firmware update for this issue?

thanks for any help

The XF10 tests slightly better than the X70 but probably not a deciding factor:

I don't currently have data on the X100S

I'm not sure where the people who have commented are getting their information from but the X70 is probably the least capable mirrorless camera Fuji has ever manufactured.

The X100S beats it in every category and there's really no comparison.

The XF10 has a better lens than the X70 but it's terrible when it comes to focusing accuracy.

Read the reviews for these two cameras, on this forum.

The X100S was given the Gold award by DPR and, although not perfect, is a very, very good camera.

A fast lens, hybrid viewfinder, great build, and a much more capable camera than either the X70 or XF10.

I will admit the XF10 image quality is very good provided your lighting is good but it doesn't hold a candle to the X100S in low light.

How about an xe3 and 27mm 2.8?

i had an x70 and I just couldn’t get along with it. When it nailed it the image quality was superb, but my success rate was mixed.

It was my backup to my xt2 and I sold it and bought an xe3.

I wasn’t overly impressed at first but now I use it more than my XT!

It is very difficult for me to compare the xf10 and x70 because neither are in the same location here. 
since I’m ok (for the moment) with ruling out view finders I also came across the xA5...

I’ve never considered an xa series before because I was always attached to having a view finder, so I always went with an x100/x100s/xe1/xe2/xt10 ( yes I had each of them at one time). Each was sold at different times for different reasons. 
I don’t really mind a slower autofocus ( like I said I owned the x100 and xe1). I don’t take many photos of fast moving subjects..my kids are older now, so they stay still during photos. The problems I read about with the xf10 is that it misses focus entirely...yet, when in focus the images are superb...but also read and saw videos telling that the x70 is still superior in everyway ( except for having a 16mp and not the 24mp sensor)...hence my recent curiosity in the xA5
