I think the 28mm focal length equivalent is more popular in Japan than elsewhere, and my guess is that the DP-1 is one of those cameras made mostly with the "home" (i.e., Japanese) market in mind.

AUTO, 100%, 200%, 400% ISO restriction (DR100%: No limit, DR200%: ISO400 or more, DR400%: ISO800 or more)Although movie recording will continue without interruption when the file size reaches 4 GB, subsequent footage will be recorded to a separate file which must be viewed separately. The new Fujifilm XF10 is a largely successful attempt to woo both smartphone upgraders and serious enthusiasts, ultimately satisfying both camps thanks to the combination of excellent image quality and diminutive size. The pairing of an APS-C sensor with the excellent fixed lens makes the XF10 more than capable of producing images every bit as good as Fujifilm's more expensive X-series cameras. No, actually the lens isn't especially good, particularly when compared to the direct competitor, the Ricoh GRII. The 3 small cameras I had shared some features, of which number one was to be built around an excellent lens. They also shared a zoom, but this was not among my requirements. Putting it simple there was not any offering of a fixed lens compact (except Ricoh). The XF10 isn’t the only Fujifilm camera with this issue, since the AF in the top-end X100F isn’t quite as snappy as you’d expect either. If that’s the price of having such a slim lens, though, it’s probably worth paying.

Thankfully, image quality is sound, with pleasing colours in JPEGs, low image noise levels throughout much of the ISO range and good detail from the lens. You do need to watch the metering and auto white balance systems, though, as the camera doesn't always get things right on its own. video quality isn't particularly pleasing, partly because of the maximum 15fps rate that makes footage very staggered, but also because of rolling shutter when panning and susceptibility to wind noise. There's certainly good detail, but it's difficult to imagine why anyone would choose this over the Full HD options provided alongside. Not convinced? Try these I’m an X100F shooter after an original X100. This is my camera and this is all I need when I go out purposely for making photos.

Another thing is the F/2 lens in the X100 series. This one's F/2.8. A lot of the magic of the X100 -- particularly low light -- happens because of being able to open to F/2. The XF10 also has a slightly slower maximum continuous burst speed than the X70 (6fps vs 8fps). At 3fps, it appears that the X70 has a much better buffer than the XF10 as it can shoot up to the capacity of the card in JPG mode. (The XF10 slows down after just 13 frames according to the official specifications.) The '5m at F5.6' snap focus mode gives you pretty much all the depth of field you need except for very close-up subjects. I've used and enjoyed Fujifilm cameras since the X100 was still a FinePix (which, I know, isn't all that long ago), and it's truly impressive to see where the company's taken its X-series cameras in that short period of time. The X-T3 is quite possibly the best APS-C camera that's been released, ever. But the XF10 just isn't up to snuff. The image quality has come a long way since my FinePix X100, but the responsiveness and autofocus on the XF10 is just too reminiscent of Fujifilm's early-generation cameras to ignore.

For the "allways with me camera" I owned the Olympus ZX1, then the XZ2, then the wonderful Sony RX100M3, which I sold, and I bought the XF10 second hand. I'm just shaking my head at anyone who compares phone pictures to this. And I even believe these images don't make the camera justice, they do however show a fairly typical usage scenario for a inexpensive prime lens compact. I bet it can do much more still when used at a really advanced level.

fixed pancake lens (28mm equivalent) with f/2.8-16 aperture range and minimum focus distance of 10cm Congratulations, and a big thank you for this very good review. Far away from others that just seem to want to maximise the missings, the issues, and this and that. Is the XF10 an upgrade over the X70? In some ways it is, in some ways it’s essentially the same camera, and in some ways it’s a downgrade. If you already own an X70 then you are probably better off keeping what you already have. If you’ve been considering an X70, the XF10 is a good alternative, but you may want to consider the differences between the models before choosing one over the other. If you’ve been thinking about a Ricoh GR II, the XF10 is a similar camera with similar features, but there are pluses and minuses to both that should be considered. As with any camera, one must look at what’s important to himself or herself and judge if the camera will meet those needs or not.
