Fujifilm reveals X-T10, an affordable alternative to flagship X-T1

Fujifilm has just revealed the X-T10 interchangeable lens camera, which rocks a 16.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor with built-in phase detection autofocus, an EXR Processor II and – for those who are invested in Fujifilm’s ecosystem – compatibility with Fujinon lenses.

It will also include the revamped AF system Fujifilm announced last week (thanks to Engadget for coverage), which should improve overall performance in all conditions, and particularly in shooting moving subjects and in low light. Pricing for the X-T10 is reasonable, ringing in at $800 for the sleek aluminum camera body, or $900 for a kit with their XC16-50mm lens.

Here’s the new camera’s spec list:
