Fujifilm XF1 Review: Clever Design That Will Drive You Crazy

Turning a dummy ’s point - and - fritter away television camera into a more advanced shooter with manual controls is a challenging aim problem . Cameras like Canon ’s S90 nailed it a while ago . But is there a different way to get it right ? mayhap ! The Fujifilm XF1 for sure try out , with entirely new resolution in a good-looking package . It ’s coolheaded . But it ’s also totally awry .

What Is It?

A retro - title pocket camera in the same vein as the newCanon S110andPanasonic LX7 . Its 2/3 - inch sensing element is 34 - percent larger than the biggest chip on any other camera under $ 500 . That , theoretically , should improve figure of speech quality .

Who’s it For?

A retro - styled point - and - shoot camera for serious lensman . Or , at least , photographers who consider they ’re serious .

Design

At arm ’s length , she ’s perfect : An aluminum consistency in a leather pelage . Standard PSAM mode dial on top and a pop - up New York minute hidden behind a springtime - loaded transposition . The collapsible 4x manual zoom lens go manually with a twist - and - take out , then tuck aside neatly into the body to wrench off the camera .

Using It

Manually stretch out the lens to turn on the television camera seems cracking at first , but it very cursorily turn into a pain in the neck in buns . It takes longer than merely pushing the power clitoris . It add together no functionality . If you call for to do it chop-chop and frequently , you ’ll want to throw the camera out the windowpane .

The Best Part

Very satisfying to hold , search at , and show your acquaintance .

Tragic Flaw

The camera ’s unique genus Lens makes taking pic inept and irritating .

This Is Weird…

The television camera ’s tiny fn push button on the top instrument panel is located precisely where you ’d wait a power clitoris to go on other camera . When I was in a hurry , so many time , oh , how I wanted it to be the exponent button . But alas . You ’re stuck twisting , turning , and pulling , forever .

Test Notes

Carried the tv camera around for a duet of weeks in my pelage air pocket . It ’s not as tiny some other point - and - shoot , but it ’s absolutely portable .

The manual zoom lens , beyond being a hassle , undermine the photographic camera ’s more advanced feature . Zooming is a very small part of taking a picture . It would be much more utile to have a control ring interchangeable to the one on the S110 or LX5 — that allows true two - handed surgical operation of manual controller .

the tv camera ’s image lineament , we did n’t regain it to be anything exceptional , which is disappointing given the television camera ’s ( relatively ) tumid head - and - shoot sensor . Part of this is due to the camera ’s less than perfect autofocus and metering that did n’t always hit the spot on the dot where we want it to . On Fuji ’s more expensive cameras these shortcomings are perceivable , but they ’re way grueling to justify on a camera imply for amateurs .

Should You Buy It?

This is cast over function . You may desire a product that looks full and use an odd mechanical illusion to turn on and off . It certainly can take undecomposed picture .

But if you need to shoot a luck of photos quickly , and you want to take the most advantage of a little camera ’s capability , then this is n’t the one for you . For around the same Mary Leontyne Price , the product for you is either the S110 or the LX7 .
