Fujifilm X70 16.3 MP Digital Camera - Black

Product Information

To assist you in manual focus mode, there is also the option of pressing the AF-L/AE-L button. It briefly activates autofocus so that you can bring the subject of interest into focus, and then manually perform minor adjustments afterwards. This works well for moving subjects such as animals, insects or plants swaying in the wind. Performance The menu for the Fujifilm X70 will be instantly recognisable and usable for anyone who has ever used a Fujifilm X Series camera. Before moving on, I’ll just mention geo-tagging in a bit more detail with an example. With a Wifi connection between the X70 and an Android or iOS phone running Fujifilm’s app, you can geo-tag your images as you take them. The implementation is the same as earlier Fuji cameras: you connect the camera and phone over Wifi, start the geo-tagging option in the app, then any picture you take over the next hour will be tagged with the location of the phone. It’s an interesting approach that’s different from rivals which typically record a GPS log in the phone that’s then synced later on with the images. The downside is relyin How does the X70 (and XF10) compare to the Ricoh GR cameras? I’m most known for my Fujifilm Film Simulation Recipes, but lesser known are my Ricoh GR Recipes; I know a thing or two about both brands. I own a GR and a GR III. The GR II is essentially the same camera as the GR (just minor improvements), so everything that I say about the GR in this discussion will apply to the GR II. The GR IIIx has a different focal-length lens, but is otherwise very similar to the GR III, so what I say about the GR III applies also to the GR IIIx. I hope this makes sense and helps to simplify things a little. Granted, the camera weighs very little so there is very little muscle strain involved in shooting with or even just carrying this camera.

Given just how small the Fujifilm X70 is, and how big my hands are, I still find it incredibly comfortable to shoot with.

It would be easy for me to suggest this to you, and not use it myself. That would not be very genuine of me, so I did use the Fujifilm X-M1 with the TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8. I also let me 13-year-old son, Jonathan, use it a little, too. This combo is very capable of producing lovely pictures straight-out-of-camera that have character and some analog-like qualities. It’s also easy to use for those who want good results without much fuss. The 16MP resolution of the X70 is more than enough for a variety of applications, from landscapes to portraits to street. The colours can be way over saturated. The provia and velvia are not at all like that provia and velvia of other more modern Fuji cameras and the RAW files aren't nice to work with.

This is what's so great about the X100 series and X70: flash looks great in every light, so what's in the picture in the first place just looks better with the X70 than from most DSLRs or the iPhone in low light.The X70 may be correcting distortion in-camera, so if you're shooting raw and using other software to open the files you may see something different. I'm shooting in-camera JPGs. Frankly, we care too much about the gear, don't we? 12mpx original X100 is good enough for a National Geo spread, the 16mpx sensor used in X-Pro1, X70 or the Ricoh GR I and II (I believe it should be the same) is more than good enough for A3+ prints... I rarely print larger sizes. And better gear don't equate better images. (When I see your images, or say your compatriot Tomas Derner's etc., I see little reason to use fancier gear than an aps-c camera.) iPhones have about the same equivalent lens as this Fuji X70. iPhones have lenses a little faster, with a smaller sensor and very similar angle of view. The amount of detail captured is nowhere near what most cameras today can achieve. But the images are still lovely and a joy to edit, print, and look at. The dynamic range is sufficient for most uses and the Classic Chrome film simulation is beautiful for those everyday images of family trips, holidays, and/or street captures. 'It’s Not Just a Phase!'

Making photos with this camera is the easy part. Making a good one, however, is a tad more difficult. But at least I know I can’t blame the camera. I have owned 18 cameras over the last 3 years and have settled in on an X-T10 (with 5 lenses) and the X70 as my working system. I am of the opinion that you have to "buy and use" before you can decide what suits your style. The sensor needs to be large enough so that the quality of the photos can be used in exhibitions and books. No problem here with its APS-C sensor and 16 megapixels to work with. While it might seem like a good idea on paper, in reality the X70 is so tiny that even the smallest flash would be bigger than the camera, and the X70's built in flash is so superior that there is no need for a bulky DSLR-style flash. The final Fujifilm accessory on offer was again a first-party product – it was a kit that provided Fujifilm X70 users with a leather half case (BLC-X70) for the camera to provide a little more protection and grip.All control dials and buttons have been logically placed and sized to fit the camera without compromising access or usability. The X70 comes with a built-in flash located in the same place as the viewfinder window of the X100T. Exposure compensation is ±2.0 and you have various options such as Forced Flash, Commander, Suppressed Flash, Slow Syncro and Red-Eye Reduction (available when Face Detection is set to on). There is also a hot shoe on which you can mount a (small) external flash if you wish. Taken with the built-in flash (+3EV) Battery Life
