Reviews

This camera is beautiful to look at, a delight to use, produces excellent results

 Apart from the gorgeous looks and the pleasure of using a well-engineered camera, the prime benefits are:

 1. The colors, from a straightforward jpeg, are just great for people.

 2. People do not take much notice of you because it LOOKS like a low-tech old camera.

 3. It is effectively silent, so people do not know you are taking pictures.

 4. The ‘digital (stepped) zoom’ works brilliantly.

 Many people will dismiss the idea of using a digital ‘zoom’ but hang on a minute. Fuji magic optimizes the enlarged images and far better than you may expect. Even on maximum ‘zoom,’ the image size is still 12MP, which, frankly, is ample for a 10 x 8 enlargement or even more significant. If you mainly view your images on the screen, keep in mind that an HD TV screen or PC monitor is only about 2MP! Even a 4K TV screen is only a fraction of over 8MP. 12MP is ample for most of us most of the time.

 Think about this: the 23mm lens is equivalent to a 35mm full-frame lens. ‘Zoom’ to the maximum, and you have an equivalent to a 70mm lens, which is almost an ideal portrait lens. All of a sudden, the limitations of that fixed 23mm lens fall away and become an advantage. It is a ‘stealth’ camera and a delight to use.

 Unfortunately, the lens is also a bit of a problem. It is sharp but not bitingly sharp. That is great for portraits, rather like the renowned Minolta 85mm portrait lens that everyone copied. The Minolta and Fuji lenses are bright without being severe enough to be cruelly revealing to your model. That is great for people but disappointing for most other subjects.

Colour Name: Silver

This camera is so much fun and easy to use. With the fitted leather case, it is easy to take everywhere, and the photos are lovely!

Colour Name: Black

Early days, but so far, an enjoyable and exciting camera to use. Clarity of the controls, how they operate is already giving a much-improved insight into the photographic process. The leaf shutter and integrated flash work particularly well together. A valuable supplement to a quality DSLR with zoom lenses rather than an alternative.
