Official Fuji X70 thread: The Petite Powerhouse


first trip out with X70, and i tot of giving my humble feedback...take note that this is my personal opinions hor!

seeing so many good things about the x70 online, i think i'll play the devil's advocate and give the other side of the coin...


well, i do landscapes too, and its a habit for me to zoom in 100% to check the sharpness (old habits die hard). i'll be honest, i feel the X70 images isn't as good as X100T, in terms of noise control and sharpness. i acknowledge that it could be some settings of mine that i didn't adjust, but i'm comparing X70 to X100T without any adjustments to in-camera settings like sharpness contrasts etc.

buttons placement will be a problem for big handed friends. its not the most comfortable camera to press the buttons, but its a give-and-take la. you want small camera, expect smaller layout lo~ cannot be u buy a Cherry QQ and expect to run like a Bugatti right :p

focusing seems a tad slower den x100t too, esp out @ the streets...but its negligible la...until the day humans walk as fast as F1 cars, its not an issue...

good thing, its small, really small. silent + tilty screen adds a new element to your shooting experience and gives you new perspective.

the digital teleconvert is really useful, but you must expect a drop in image quality...

given a chance, will i sell my x100t for the x70? well, its still too early to say...

PS: does anyone knows how to switch off the display without turning off the camera? pls let me know! thanks!
 

Nice sharing :) especially the cherry QQ and Bugatti part lol.

I'll feedback to Fujifilm as it seems many are asking for an option to switch off the screen.
 

Why do you want to turn off the display without turning off the camera? Turn off display can't do anything with the camera anymore leh cause no EVF.

Logically it should be turn on the screen without turning on the camera?.. So that we can view the pictures and videos taken?
 

One reasons is to mount the OVF for use so one doesn't need the screen switched on.

using this setup in SR+ (Fuji's auto mode) and switching on a soft focusing confirmation beep while using the OVF makes shooting almost idiot proof.

sometimes you really dont want people to see what you are capturing...in which case, i'll just capture a picture in the blind...


well not totally, i can visualise the focal length + AF point, so its fine, but sometimes la, you need the screen to be off..to be discreet...

a habit acquired from the days of using DSLRs, when using the liveview means a overall slower focus compared to using the ovf...haha

But parallel error leh..
 

But parallel error leh..

Different options for users with diff habits. If worried about parallex error then just stick to the WYSIWYG EVF leh.
 

The pictures are nice! Thumbs up!

Anyone know where I can change the screw of the pre order leather case? Wna to have those that can mount on tripod.

Same here. I really like how the colours turned out.

@kiatography - were this SOOC?
 

Clementi! HAHA! nice shot, really shows it's a great camera. love the colors.

yeah~ was there for sunrise shot..and decided to walk around cause the light was very nice..

PS: these were not SOOC. I applied VSCO filters on them. sunflare was SOOC thou :O
 

Is the camera available for those who didn't pre-order yet?
