Compact Camera Battle - Fujifilm X70 vs X100t (and X100f) 

I agree with you. Amazing shots!

after watching the video, I decided to leave a comment exactly like yours but saw your comment at the top. yeah, the photos are amazing.

I like your pics too Andrew. Both you and Mathias are references to me, and highlights on my YT subscriptions. I often just rewatch these videos. I find them beautiful, well edited, and motivating. You guys raise the bar and i feel like shooting more and more..everytime i watch them. Thank You (both) !

Για σου Παύλο! Cheers from Brazil! I mainly shoot Fuji but have a Sony RX100III for pocketable camera, but am getting tired of it. Was considering buying an X100, but read your comment on the X70 and was wondering: Don’t you miss the zoom range of the Sony? Also, don’t you miss the EVF from Sony?

Thanks and Happy New Year!

+Ryan Yeah its all subjective of course. But imo the 23mm distorts alot and definitely needs correcting in post, so thats the same on both. The 23mm is softer close up and wide open which is also a bit of a shame. Makes it a f2.8 for sharpness. Its interesting because now I know why Leica made their Q and X not able to shoot completely open in Macro. All great cameras though, hope you enjoy your x100. I know I would.

Thanks, The biggest reason I like the x70 is because alot of the shots wouldn't have happened with the x100t. All the pictures you liked from the x100 could have been done with the x70, but not the other way around. So when choosing between tge two cameras its more important to focus on the buttons, ergonomics, size, etc. Because image quality is the same.

Hey, Thanks! All Raw, different amount of post work. My favorite preset is probably no preset, just working the contrast in Adobe Standard.

She usually is :)

Don’t you miss the EVF of the other cameras?

@ the X70 is just my favourite point and shoot camera, when your out with friends having a few drinks or just away for a few days when your after snaps to keep as memories I do love aEDD thought but it’s not missed on the X70

@@DerekComer Ok, great thoughts. Thank you!

It's hyperfocal pro. Great little app!

I think people will notice them equally, go with the one you think looks the best.

Thanks! Yes I also get distortion, but I mostly just try to live with it :)

Skillnaden mellan f2.8 och f2.0 är ett stop dvs dubbelt så mycket ljus. När du filmar kommer det vara manuell fokus som ger bäst resultat, speciellt i dåligt ljus. Vad gäller stillbilder så är i princip alla kameror ganska likvärdiga. Köp den som "känns" rätt. Det är viktigare att man gillar kameran än att den har en siffra mer eller mindre på kartongen. /M

+Robert Young Yeah I never thought it would steal my other cameras thunder, but it does all the time :)

Just play with it until you figure out how you want it set up. My standard settings for general street shooting iso auto 3, shutter speed 500, and manually set the focus at 3m. At aperture f8 pretty much the whole world is in focus. Now you can just point and shoot. If it gets darker I just flip to f5.6 or shutter 250. I also turn of the shutter sound. Good luck!

+Mattias Burling Thank you! I'll continue to play around with it and the settings you've suggested! And I forgot to mention in my comment above, but you take such gorgeous photos! (:

I appreciate it :)

hyperfocal pro

Thanks, it was HyperFocal Pro. Great app but I bet there are others that might be just as good or better.

so which would you prefer the x70 or x100f?

Mercy Osorio Well, I like 'm both. The X70 has a flip screen and offers a wider view which I like for street photography. Also it's very pocketable and unobtrusive. The X100 on the other hand does not distort and is much better for portraits. Also the OVF is great.

Great to hear. Personally I think the buttons on the x100t are way to fiddly an easy to accidentally press. On the x70 I never need to check :) Its like always, people are different and that's great. And luckily for you, you have best of both worlds. Im thinking of buying the original x100 and call it my teleconverter :)

+SuperPussyFinger A little of both.

+SuperPussyFinger A little of both.

dont think so. havent tried though.

+Black Dog Yeah what you cant get with the x70 chances are you would have missed with the x100 as well :)

+Black Dog Yeah what you cant get with the x70 chances are you would have missed with the x100 as well :)

Black Dog I can't see why you'd realistically need both in practical terms. They are close enough to each other not to warrant both imo.

I actually have both. X100T and X70. I love them for different purpose. X70 on the street and X100T for more isolation of my family photography :)

Raw.

I'm sure it will be awesome, but for the price I can get so much cool stuff if I buy used.But later on when it can be found second hand..At least this is what I'm telling myself to stop me from buying it. I hope I can make is :)

I have a video about that, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sBWmYd2rUeA.html

@@gearreallydoesntmatter thank you, Mattias. Just saw it, with a smile. However happy to see you respond immediately! Thank you 😊

Thank you.

Har aldrig provat xt1.

Most if not all are adjusted in Lightroom.

+Daniel D'Esposito The viewfinder on the x100 isnt that great imo. And you can always buy the ovf for the x70. Lowlight would be one stop better on the x100. For me it is as you say, the x70 will go with you every where. And that is what counts imo. Best is of course to have both.

Thanks Matthias, looks like the x70 is indeed the way to go! One more question if you don't mind: how do you compare the picture quality of the x70 with a one-inch camera like the RX100, which is also very portable? Some have said the RX100 is closer to the dslr than to the iphone, would you agree?

I like the rx100, it takes nice images and great video. But it is sluggish to opperate and it can't beat an x70 or Ricoh. They are better than a smartphone sure, but so is a tomato :)

Thanks Matthias, am happy you're saying that because I don't really like the rx line, so I can safely eliminate them. I'll buy a second hand x70, there is one for a good price where I live in Geneva. Somehow there is something about that camera that makes me just love to hold it, and I've realised its a deliberate part of Fuji's approach to industrial design... both the way it looks and works are designed to make you addicted emotionally :-)

I love the Ricoh GR. It's my favorite compact. Love the colors, B&W and sharp lens. Love the 28mm focal length better as well. I have the Sony RX100 V. I like the zoom, the capability of 4K video, V-Logging, and it does many things well enough. I don't find it sluggish. I also have a Fuji X-T10. Love that as well. I want to try the Fuji X70 because I want that, leaf shutter and touch & articulating screen. Sad it doesn't have an EVF though. The Sony has a pretty good EVF, and it does come in handy. I was going to jump on board the X100F for the 24mp, and Acros filter, and 23mm lens, but I opted for the 23mm F/2 WR Lens for my X-T10 instead, , which is sharper. I can do without the extra megapixels, and Acros. I shoot RAW and actually do better B&W than Acros can give me. I understand the attraction to the JPEGS though. It's just that I hate losing all that extra file info.

Thank you.

It’s not cheap but not terrible either.

+Pedro Eduardo Braz The x70 is alot of camera. I love it.

Im sure it will :)

If you can afford it go for the x70. It’s a much faster camera

Not on these models. X100f and x100v has it.

@@gearreallydoesntmatter thanks, also I've nearly binged your whole channel during my Highschool years, your voice is captivating it competes with the lofi studying stream

Hyper focal pro.

@@gearreallydoesntmatter Thanks so much and keep the reviews coming!

Both are great cameras so you cant really go wrong :)

What camera did you finally buy, +Lila?

Hi Daniel! I bought XT10 and i think it was a good choice. Maybe its not as compact as X70 but it still fits perfectly in my hand. Great plus is of course that i can switch lenses. I actually ordered very cheap lens - meike 35 mm and works amazing! I easily get overwhelmed about amount of options when it comes to using tech gear so Im glad that menu is very intuitive. Thanks for asking! Have a great day!

Wow thats an adventurous choice! Did not know about Meike lenses, really fast lens for a low price, thanks for sharing. Let me know if you have any Meike photos to show on instagram.

You can give me Your email address and I will send You some unedited pictures straight from the camera with meike lens :).

Thanks A LOT！loved you video

omg, i just got it !

Paul Michael James No Fuji has DNGs. They use Fujis own raw files.

+Bob Hanuman Hyper Focal Pro.

Not really, test all the critical functions. Make sure the glass is scratch free. But most of all, look at the seller. If its a trustworthy fellow you don't need to test it as much :)

Thanks, Mattias. I was looking to buy a used x70. Its cheap but lacking the on camera flash. So I'm having second thoughts.

On camera flash? didn't even know there was one.

I'm not sure what it's called. The flash that's built-in with the camera. Hehe

good to know.

Seems great, but a used xt1 or xpro1 is like 15% of the cost.

I have the X-Pro 2, an upgrade from the X-Pro 1. The hit rate is much higher with the new camera for moving or isolated subjects, I believe the autofocus is more reliable. I also find myself turning to the RAW files (on card 1) less and less, the JPEGS are often good enough with a little lightroom tweak. I have the X100T and the original X100, I simply cant sell it even though it hardly sees the light of day. The X70 looks great but I'm struggling to justify the cost when I have the X100 and the wide adapter. Even though it is a bit bigger I still find it extremely portable. Enjoy whatever, I do...

+DarkRami Same price new and only marginally cheaper used. No camera is "better", it depends on the user. For me the fixed lens, external controls and tilt screen makes the GR not so interesting. But if I saw a cheap one used I would probably jump on it just to try it for a while. Its a great camera as well.

Mattias Burling Thanks for your input. When I said better I meant image quality wise. I've watched plenty of comparisons and most agree that the lens in the GR produce better, sharper images overall.

I guess if sharpness is your priority its a better choice. Not for me though. But again, if I see a really cheap GR I will try it.

GR's autofocus will be turtle slow in comparison.

Thank you @@gearreallydoesntmatter , Beautiful photo, nice work. Always appreciate your videos.

HyperFocal Pro, but there are plenty of different once.

Mattias Burling hyperfocal pro doesn't have the x70 listed as an option???

Use the x100, same sensor and just change the focal length to 17mm. Or put in a custom sensor.
