The XF10 is a compact digital camera characterised by its metal look and small size. It features an APS-C sensor which produces high-quality pictures. By using a wide-angle, fixed-focus lens, it was possible to give the housing a very slim design without forfeiting image quality in the process. The camera can thus be handled comfortably with just one hand. In addition to the main automatic functions, the XF10 is manually adjustable through a metal control ring and the touchscreen.
