Nikon D5600 Advantages:
- Megapixels – 7.9 more megapixels. For printing big and cropping, the Nikon D5600 is a much better choice.
- LCD – 3.2″ vs 3.0″ and it’s fully articulated too.
- LCD Resolution – Higher resolution.
- Touchscreen Support
- JPEG Buffer Size – 100 vs 10. Useful for long bursts.
- RAW Buffer Size – 12 vs 7.
- Max Flash Sync Speed – 1/200 vs 1/180.
- Built-in NFC
- Bluetooth Support
- Battery Life – 820 shots vs 350 shots.
The D5600 is a DSLR, hence the longer battery life. It’s got 8 more megapixels, but this will only make a difference if you print huge or crop a lot. For sharing your pictures online, even on 4K screens, anything over 10MP is more than enough. The LCD screen is bigger and better and the camera also has a much bigger JPEG Buffer which is useful for sports photography.

Fujifilm X-T10 Advantages:
- ISO – 51,200 vs 25,600. Higher maximum ISO sensitivity.
- AF Points – 49 vs 39. More means you have a lot more focus points to choose from to perfectly frame your subject.

- Focus Peaking – Very useful for seeing if your subject is in focus (both photo and video).
- Viewfinder Coverage – 100% vs 95%.
- Viewfinder Magnification – Higher magnification.
- Faster Max Shutter Speed – 1/32000 vs 1/4000.

- Less Expensive – The X-T10 with the kit lens costs around $100 less
The Fujifilm X-T10 is quite older compared to the D5600. It’s got a faster continuous mode at 8fps and 10 more AF points (although it won’t focus as good as D5600 in low light), 1 stop higher ISO speed and electronic shutter speed that can go up to 1/32000.
