X-T10 & X-T1 = Same Functions?

[Mlcinema]

Greetings,

 

Will the X-T10 have the same functions as the X-T1 when version 4 firmware comes out? Like full shutter on the back or front dial, focusing, etc.

 

Thank you.

The X-T10's manual isn't out yet and the only units which have found their way to peoples' hands are pre-production units, which could differ in minor functionality from the actual consumer unit. So there's no way to tell exactly what will or won't be assignable on the X-T10.
The X-T1's firmware update is for the focusing modes and optimisation. There's no suggestion that it will change how any buttons are assigned, other than the Macro button which is now obsolete.

That said, I'm getting an X-T10 on launch day and I have an X-T1 which I will of course be updating to the latest firmware the moment that is released, so I'm replying now so I have this topic in mind and I will report back the moment the T1 firmware and T10 are in my hands.

X-T10 greater functions than X-T1 that needs wait to upgrade 4.0! X-T10 faster newer highest firmware version best buy.

I think you can rest assured that the only real differences will be:

 

1. Inability to add a vertical grip, with the ease of battery replacement this offers.

2. Weather sealing

3. Poor buffer size

4. Smaller viewfinder

5. Lack of a flash sync terminal

6. No easily accessible front function button

Also inability to use high speed cards

I'm just waiting to see if the new X-T1 firmware enables less-compressed JPEGs. So far, that seems to be weirdly in the X-T10's favor.

No change here, as predicted.

Soon I'll be able to compare these two in the hand, but for now it's pros and cons from the spec sheets. So far the factors I'm considering are

• XT-10 smaller and lighter than X-T1.
• Lower magnification viewfinder (without the dual mode feature) and slightly lower res screen.
• Smaller buffer size and can't take UHS-II cards.
• No weather sealing.
• Built in flash versus external for X-T1.
• Lower JPEG compression for X-T10.

I don't think the lack of front function button is an issue because I think the front dial can act as a button (and the X-T1 front dial can't). Is that right?

 

I'm coming from a X-E2, so all I really want is a tilting screen

Hi Mark, I think that is correct, I was unaware of the new clickable dials when I posted. One other factor to consider is the grip, which is much smaller on the X-T10.

You mean you know for sure that there is no change in the X-T1 new firmware, or you mean that you are not changing your prediction?

Briefly tried the new xt10 today. Very impressed with build quality and general feel of the camera. Will be buying one instead of the xt1 and then waiting for the x pro 2 next year.
