Pros: Compact, 40 MPX, Film Profiles, Double Exposures in Direct Recording with Choice of Lens, Three "Optics in One"
Cons: Total construction is poor compared to the X100F, few accessories, small buttons, 72dpi image resolution.
Opinion: I state that I have been keeping it for 2 months, I took it for various reasons: 1) it is small and light 2) it is an all-rounder, that is, although it has a 40 MPX sensor I can "zom" in 50mm and 70mm, cropping of course. 3) The possibility of choosing multiple exposures live, i.e. I take a photo and choose whether to go ahead or stop is a very advantageous option. 4) the film profiles, even Nikon has several but I wanted to try with my own hands these Fuji and I must say that in Jpeg you can hear them. 5) there is a lot of room for customization Sore points: the construction as evidenced by the video on Simone's channel That is, the construction is Ceep, I had the opportunity to touch the X100F and the difference can be felt throughout, the previous versions were more solid! this one has the controls a bit Ballerini. the amount at which it is proposed, i.e. 1850€ I would have expected some accessories eg: a 64gb SD, slides to protect it from scratches, the overhead button, or a lens hood etc. In short, things that used to be by default are no longer so! Another note that made me turn up my nose, I open the photo in PS and the resolution is at 72 DPI, compared to a NIKON file which is 300 DPI, but be careful! It shouldn't scare you because the file as it comes out of the cam (obviously with some slight corrections) can be printed at 272.63 cm x 181.75 cm at 40mpx up to a size of 137.16 cm x 91.44 cm with a photo taken at 70mm. As for the weight issue, let's say that as it comes out it is not annoying, but if you have to add the additional grip, the lens hood, the protective lens, the button, it starts to weigh a little. Excellent for the street or rather to "seize the moment", I consider it a very advanced "point and shoot". Other advantages: it is discreet (because the camera body is very similar to the previous ones) it is silent (which is useful if you have to photograph indoors e.g. church), it is not conspicuous. For the battery issue, at the photography fair I bought an additional JUPIO brand battery (never heard of it) but only 1 stand out of 30 had it! And I have to say that for now I've had a good time! for consumption.... I easily get to the end of the day, if I take 1 photo every 10 minutes for 3 hours, then I pause and repeat the cycle. I haven't tested it yet in the Video field because I'm not a videomaker! |
