Reviews
Positives of Fujifilm X-T200 Mirrorless Digital Camera
– Very lightweight and reasonably priced compared to higher-end Fujis like X-T3/X-T30
– Feels very good and stable in my hands
– The screen can rotate around so that you do not hit it with your nose when using the electronic viewfinder.
– The electronic viewfinder is very sharp and clear and has a sensor to detect when you have your eye.
– I prefer the EVF to the touchscreen because I can use it without glasses. Note that I only need glasses to look at screens like those on smartphones/tablets/computers/cameras, and my eyesight is OK otherwise.
– The screen is handy for selfies, though.
– XC 15-45mm lens is versatile and compact, giving a generous wide field of view at the 15mm end.
– Shoots well in low light if you crank up the ISO and even if you use the fast shutter speed
– Stylish retro look.
The X-T200 controls are great but need to play with a lot to hang them. I’m getting there 🙂
– The main mirrorless rivals to this camera are the Canon M50 and Sony A6100 at the time of writing, so check out their reviews when doing your research.
– There are mirrorless cameras out there that are cheaper than the X-T200 but usually involve some compromise such as not having a built-in flash, a moveable screen, electronic viewfinder, or the ability to shoot 4K video. If you’re OK with these compromises, though, then there are cheaper alternatives to this camera. Similarly, if you want a more straightforward screen, in-body stabilization, and a 26MP sensor, then there are more expensive options like the XT-3 and X-T30 to consider.
