Fujifilm ’s covetable line of retro - looking television camera is getting a slim , compact sibling . The X70 looks like just the camera a mountain of people have been waiting for .
The x70 comes into to the tune below Fujifilm ’s top point - and - shoot , the X100 T , which is totally awing but a bit clumsy to handle , and very expensive at its $ 1300 inclination cost . It ’s playfulness to shoot with , butwe would never purchase one .
Even without full trying the X70 out , I ’m already fearing for my deferred payment card around when I ’m around it . That said it ’s not unconscionable ; The $ 700 price gunpoint feels downright approachable for a gamey - quality camera .
Yes , and despite it ’s slim build , there ’s every indication that the X70 will be a sinewy shooter . It ’s got the same second - genesis . 16.3 megapixel APS - C detector as the X100T. Of of course , this is a fixed electron lens television camera , with a nice wide 18.5 mm f/2.8 lens . It ’s fundamentally a street lensman ’s joyfulness .
Fujifilm ’s made some sacrifices on the outside ironware to get the camera down in both size and damage . The camera has no built - in optical viewfinder , however , Fujifilm will offer an outside adhesion you may slide one onto the hot shoe . What ’s more , though the tv camera keep nice features like a few external controls and a pop - out touchscreen viewfinder , it ’s just bit going to be quite as speedy on the manual controls as the X100 tetraiodothyronine because it does n’t have a dial for every last possible circumstance .
Of course , in the stop - and - shoot humankind , the X70 has competition . It ’s most obvious competition in both appearance and retro style is theRicoh GR , which is teeny lilliputian , and has a passing sharp crystalline lens . On the more the more fully - featured side of things , the Sony Rx100 lineis very hard to argue with , especially given the blowout plenty you may get on other models .
The X70 hit next month , and we ca n’t wait to take it for a spin .
