We already listed pros and cons of each model. However, you may also find useful to look at their common strengths and weaknesses shown side-by-side.

Screen

Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujifilm FinePix HS10 have 3.0" Tilting screens with 1,040k dot and 230k dot resolutions respectively. Tilting screen makes cameras very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting.

Viewfinder

Fujifilm X-T1 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder with 2,360k dot resolution and Fujifilm FinePix HS10 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder. Fujifilm X-T1 has 100% coverage with 1.16x (0.77x 35mm equivalent) magnification and Fujifilm FinePix HS10 has 97% coverage magnification.

Fujifilm X-T1 features a 16.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS X-TRANS II sensor with dimensions of 23.6 x 15.6 mm and a total area of 368.2 mm². Its native ISO range is 200 - 6,400 and expands to 100 - 51,200 in boosted mode. Fujifilm FinePix HS10 features a 10.3 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 6,400.

Fujifilm X-T1 has CMOS X-TRANS II sensor

Fujifilm FinePix HS10 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Fujifilm X-T1 is equipped with EXR Processor II processor and can take pictures up to 4896 x 3264 resolution. Fujifilm FinePix HS10 can take pictures up to 3648 x 2736 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 3648 x 2432, 3648 x 2056, 2592 x 1944, 2592 x 1728, 2592 x 1440, 2048 x 1536, 2048 x 1360, 1920 x 1080 with 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios.

Fujifilm FinePix HS10 has an image stabilization.

Built-in Wi-Fi on Fujifilm X-T1

Fujifilm X-T1 has a built-in Wi-Fi which allows to easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, printers, or computers. This eliminates the need for cables and allows for quick and convenient media sharing and social media integration. It gives you the ability to control your camera remotely using a smartphone or tablet. This is particularly useful for taking self-portraits, group shots, or capturing images in challenging conditions without having to touch the camera. Firmware updates can also be downloaded and installed wirelessly.
