About this deal

Iso dial instread of exposure comp. Or at better idea: to make it possible to chance the dial in somewhere in the settings. Maybe iso written on the buttondial, exposure comp on the side of the button (would be a wonderful Solution for all fujis- i dint get it that the iso dial is not as important as apenture and shutterspeed?) Fujifilm needs to drop whatever they’re currently doing, and make an X80. This should be priority number one! Finally, we come to the top of the camera. Here we have the same two dials found on the X100T: the shutter speed dial with a mechanical shutter speed of up to 1/4000 (1/32000 if you turn on the electronic shutter), Bulb, Time and Auto, and the exposure compensation dial with ±3 EV. You’ll also find the shutter button, Drive button, on/off switch, movie record button, Auto mode switch and hot shoe mount. The top plate of the X70

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. To ensure correct exposure I then set the ISO to auto with the range from 200 to 6400 at the top end. So I can let the camera decide on correct exposure, with just an occasional adjustment from me by using the exposure compensation dial. The first thing you’ll notice when you turn on the X70 is a prompt asking whether you want to use the camera in High or Low performance mode. In High mode, the AF is faster and the time it takes for the camera to restart is reduced. In Low mode, a power saving mode is activated to prolong the battery life. The power management menu

As with other Fujifilm cameras with a 16MP sensor, the video quality is decent for casual or amateur shooting but more demanding users should turn their gaze to the various 4K offerings from Panasonic and Sony. The Fuji X70 has only fair bokeh, but that's not important because there's almost never anything far enough out of focus to notice. I have used this camera as my second camera at a small wedding along with my Fujifilm X-T2. The wide-angle and discreet style of the Fujifilm X70 allowed me to shoot up-close and candid images. In low light, however, the Fujifilm X70 is not as responsive or capable of hitting sharp focus every time. The most important feature of the camera is its sensor. The APS-C sensor in the Fujifilm X70 is the second generation X-Trans CMOS found in the likes of Fujifilm X-T1, or the Fujifilm X-T10. It offers 16 megapixels of resolution and a maximum native ISO of 6400. It is not the most advanced image sensor you’ve ever seen, certainly not by today's standards. But the photographs it delivers are truly beautiful. Thanks to the X-Trans matrix, the processor, and Fujifilm’s “magic,” it gives us beautiful, organic-looking photos. When shot in monochrome, the higher ISO values give us artifacts that more resemble grain instead of your traditional digital noise.

The tiny "Play" button itself is not marked. The Play icon instead is printed next to it on the camera body, so you may be led to press the body instead of the button in the dark. Around the fixed lens is a ribbed aperture ring that goes from f/2.8 to f/16 with an automatic option. Detent resistance is excellent, so much that I’ve never inadvertently changed my aperture, and the two tabs on either side help you to grip and turn the ring. The ribbed aperture ring goes from f/2.8 to f/16. It also has an A (automatic) mode. It would be easy to label the Fujifilm X70 as superfluous to the X line-up due to there being other options that will give you the 28mm field of view, including an XF 18mm lens for the interchangeable series and a wide-angle converter for the X100 series. However, neither solution is even close to as compact as the X70. It really is the kind of camera you could place inside your bag and forget about until an interesting photographic moment arises because it takes up so little space. I then set my focus aid to ‘focus peaking’ using the red outline; as for me this shows up more clearly. Using the focus scale I set this to 2 metres, as I find this is about how close I normally am to my subjects. However the f8 aperture ensures that everything is in focus from quite a bit closer then that and certainly a lot further away too. You can shoot at 8fps in High burst for approximately 10 JPG frames, or 3fps in Low burst for an unlimited number of frames. Keep in mind that only the central phase detection points will available if you shoot at 8fps in C-AF.The Fuji Xf-10 was to be the last try on compact cameras for me. Couldn’t get no satisfaction from those things.
