It is significantly smaller than the X100 yet possesses most of the attractive attributes with one exception: The viewfinder. The Fuji X70, in common with the Ricoh GR, has the 28mm full-frame equivalent angle of view that I find quite comfortable.Īll controls are visible at a glance and the camera is definitely small. For someone such as me, who has been familiar with various Fuji cameras since the original X100 and the X-Pro1, this camera was a familiar object. It landed on the market in January 2016.Ī couple of weeks ago by chance I met a friend who pressed an X70 into my hand. Alongside the Ricoh GR and the Nikon Coolpix A (which is no longer available) it is the only camera in this size with an APS-C sensor. Yet, during the time I owned the X100, it was, let’s say, small enough for me. The logical choice for a camera to meet my exacting requirements would be the excellent Ricoh GR II. Note: All photographs in this article by Claus Sassenberg. Yet I wasn’t keen to have a smaller sensor than APS-C, however irrational that may sound. It’s clear that there are a number of toddler cameras that produce good results and disappear into the pocket, various Sonys, Panasonics and so forth. There are occasions when you don’t want to appear with a camera around the neck yet still wish to be in the position to grab a quick photo that: The X100 bulged a little but, nevertheless, fitted reasonably comfortably in a coat pocket. It was somewhat smaller, somewhat flatter than the Q which cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be classed as a pocket camera. Yet the X100 left a certain emptiness in my photographic life. I have already covered this in several articles. Since then the Q has filled the role formerly taken by the X100-and then some. Simply put, it covered exactly the same ground as the new Leica Q that had just come my way. Shortly before Christmas I sold my Fuji X100T.
