Donald W : Sharpest Pics (for Amateur Shooter): Fuji x70 or Ricoh GR II ?TONY S : If you are shooting JPEG only, go with the Fuji. If Raw, the GR II will probably be a bit sharper.PAUL P : In my experience so far that little Ricoh is a game changer for me. Incredible detail and the quality is just suburb. I haven't used the Fuji yet. They basically copied the GR just more bells and whistles and their own sensor.LEOPOLDLUIGI F : Good question, I have both, Fuji and Ricoh. Both great cameras. If compactness is the main feature go with Ricoh. Otherwise get the one you esthetically like better.HAROLD B : That's a great question. I am not familiar with the X70, which I think is fairly new. I have used the Fuji X-E1 and Fuji X-100 in the past and I got great image quality from those cameras. I suspect the X70 will provide sharp images as well. I am certainly am pleased with my GR II. The images are crystal clear and the camera provides a multitude of options for customization, which I was seeking. The rear screen is fixed. That isn't an issue for me but it might be for you.

Good Camera with a little issue

I bought this mainly for its small size and great IQ. Overall it is a great camera fits my needs. There are two issues though: 1) auto focus seems not very accurate under low light 2) requires additional equipment to install any filters

I would buy it over and uber

It's very sharp the auto modes are good, the manual mode is good if you know how to use it. It's good for hobbyists and pros. It's small lightweight and very user friendly

Lightweight but still great manual features

About the smallest camera that is not a point-and-shoot that I know of. I like having manual controls and settings with an auto function as backup. By the time I put a lens protector setup on, it is pretty wide for a small camera -- if they can get this so it is as slim as a point-and-shoot then that would be 5 stars.

Great portability

Great build. The trade off from the x100t is a slower lens but I get better portability

Exactly What I Needed

Was looking for a easy-to-carry camera that could capture pictures as great as my DSLR. So far, it's living up to my expectations and I've been enjoying it. Easy to pocket, easy to take beautiful photos. PS. The display rotates 180 and it makes it too easy to take selfies. Cons, however, are: There's no viewfinder. The video could be a little better, the video record button is too close to some other buttons and makes it rather hard to press at times.

Great little full featured camera

I purchased it to use on the job as an art installer & picture framer, the focal length is just right for interior shots, and the macro shots are great for picture frame details. So far it is everything I thought it would be and more. I would recommend this camera to everyone.

Nice except battery reset.

A camera that creates a great image and it is fun to use as well. A very important negative though is the fact that once you remove the battery the basic settings (time, date, your personal setup) disappear. Not as sharp as the Ricoh GR or the Nikon Coolpix A but sharp enough.

I am very happy with my purchase and the pictures this takes.

I was looking for a pocketable camera with features that would provide great pictures. Since I have an Xt-1and this has the same size sensor I tried it. It is a great little camera with big camera results. I am very happy with my purchase and the pictures this takes.

Not for beginners

IQ is very nice,but this camera cant be treated like a point and shoot thus not recommended for beginners like me. In my experience, it really needs inage stabilisation to shoot in lower shutter speed in low light. The f2.8 is not enough.

The FUJIFILM X70 is a newly designed premium fixed lens digital camera that features a FUJINON 18.5mm F2.8 lens (28mm in 35mm format equivalent), suitable for a range of applications from landscapes to everyday snapshots. The new X70 elegantly combines simple, manual operation with superior image quality and versatile picture-taking functions, and is the first X-Series camera to offer a touchscreen display that rotates 180 degrees, enabling users to shoot from up high and down low and to capture selfies.

• 16.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor
• Uses the FUJINON 18.5mm F2.8 lens with 7 elements in 5 groups, and 2 high-performance aspherical elements
• High-definition, touchscreen 3" tilting (180-degrees) LCD display with 1.04 million dots
• Maximum ISO performance up to 51200 sensitivity
• New AF system offers the 49-point Single Point mode for fast, precise focusing, and a new Zone and Wide/Tracking modes with a 77-point area to capture moving subjects
• Near silent electronic shutter capable of exposures up to 1/32,000 second
• Digital teleconverter offers focal ranges of 35mm and 50mm
• Full HD video 1080p at 60fps
• Advanced creative filters

The compact FUJIFILM X70 uses a 16.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor for extraordinary image resolution, and gives photographers milled aluminum dial controls, as well as aperture settings in 1/3 stop increments, and the new Auto Mode Switch lever for selecting its fully automatic Advanced SR Auto mode. In this mode, the camera automatically chooses the optimum settings for great results on any scene.

Premium Compact Camera For Everyday Use
Wide angle of view, compact size, X-Trans image quality, superb response, stunning style. The FUJIFILM X70 with its 18.5mm wide-angle lens is all you need to make your everyday shots dramatic.

Design & Control

High-quality finish and easy operation encourage creativity
Weighing approximately 12 oz (340g), the FUJIFILM X70 is the lightest X-series camera with an APS-C sized sensor. The top-plate features milled aluminum exposure compensation and shutter speed dials, making it easy to quickly access key features, while the aperture and focusing rings are also made from milled aluminum to help keep weight down. Apertures can be changed in 1/3 or 1 stop increments, plus the focusing ring doubles up as a control ring for quick access to a range of functions.

Image Quality

Compact body with an APS-C sized X-Trans CMOS II sensor and EXR Processor II image processing engine
Key technologies that deliver the high quality images unique to X-series models have been compressed into a pocket-sized body. This includes the stunning color reproduction technology, developed as a result of more than 80 years of photographic film manufacturing, and the unique Lens Modulation Optimizer (LMO) image processing technology that corrects optical defects such as diffraction to achieve edge-to-edge sharpness and a realistic three-dimensional effect. On-sensor phase detection AF focuses in an ultra-fast 0.1 sec and, thanks to the high-speed EXR Processor II image processor, the camera starts up in just 0.5sec, has a shutter time lag of 0.01sec and shooting interval of 0.5sec.

Autofocus

AF system with Zone and Wide/Tracking modes for effortless capture of moving subjects
The AF system offers the standard 49-point Single Point mode for high speed and precision focusing, as well as the new Zone and Wide/Tracking modes that use a larger 77-point area to capture moving subjects.

Digital Tele-converter

Digital Tele-converter with three settings
One body, three lenses. The X70's fixed lens offers a 28mm angle of view but, thanks to the first Digital Tele-converter mode in an X-series camera, users can also select 35mm and 50mm options. Settings for the Digital Tele-converter can be changed within the menu, or on the control ring on the lens barrel, enabling users to quickly check the image on the LCD before shooting.
