Fujifilm X70: A camera for the wide world

2016-03-14
are you a manually focusing street photographer who've used the world in wide-angle and doesn't care about a viewfinder then you'll love the Fujifilm X 70 and there's certainly a lot to love about it for instance with its aps-c sized x-trans CMOS - sensor it produces some of the best photo quality I've seen for under $1000 and certainly for its $700 price tag and the design with a manual aperture ring shutter speed dials and physical exposure compensation control provides a real manual shooting experience the grip is one of the better I've seen on an enthusiast compact - and it's the only aps-c model that offers a tilting and flip up display but there are a few aspects that Mar the experience the record button and navigation buttons are difficult to press it's also frequently hard to see the display in bright sunlight that can be a big problem since its 28 millimeter f28 fixed focal length lens is so wide that you need to check the edges of your frame a lot unless you want stray limbs and other objects poking into your scene I prefer a narrower lens for street photography more like the 35 millimeter model on Fuji films higher-end x-series cameras that's personal taste though but the biggest drag on the camera is the slow autofocus the video is nothing to write home about either the sensors sixteen point three megapixel resolution is lower than I'd like and it doesn't support Raw in the expanded ISO sensitivity range so you're limited to ISO 200 to 6400 there there's more on both sides of the story though you'll have to read my review on CNET for those
