Fujifilm Photography News and Rumors

DPRTV posted thier Fujifilm X-A7 Preview. Below are excerpts from the video:

• X-A cameras have always been really cheap bad performers
• Upgrade AF and video over other low-level Fujifilm cameras
• The 16×9 rear screen is great and the touch screen works well
• Shooting off the screen isn’t very stable
• 6fps with AF is nice
• The buffer rate isn’t very good because it only lets you get 4 shots in a row or 8-9 jpeg shots in a row
• Face detect works pretty far away
• Face detect can pick the wrong face in a crowd
• Film simulation shows you a before and after view now which is a nice feature
  
• 24mp using copper wire construction, but not BSI sensor
• Two quick menus now
• The digital interface should be more customizable since the camera lacks physical controls
• AF isn’t great in low light, but this is a preproduction camera
• The X-A7 is a simplified camera that is targeted at smartphone users
• You can connect the camera to your phone via USB-C
• Preamp his shooting video
• The video is sharp and the selfie screen is great
• There is an electronic stabilizer while shooting video and it’s not much better than any other electronic stabilization system so it’s better to stabilize in post
• It’s good to have usable 4k recording on this camera
• Great to have a mic jack, but there is not headphone jack
• You will need an ND filter
• Should have left more USB-C features in the camera like the mic jack adapter the XT30 has
• Base ISO for video is 400
• Great Fujifilm colors
• This camera is marketed to the JPEG market
• AF performance is good, but not great
• Great for portraits, but not a good camera for sports/action
• Good things are Great screen, very light (but cheap feal), the touch screen is great, and great joystick on the back
• Bad things Limited customizable buttons so no back button focusing and no EVF
