What's in the box
From the manufacturer
The FUJIFILM X70 brings first-class performance in a small, pocketable package to the Fujifilm X family.

New Compact, High-Performance LensThe FUJIFILM X70 features a 18.5mm F2.8 wide-angle fixed lens capable of covering everything from snapshots to landscapes. The new lens, specifically developed for the FUJIFILM X70, has an optical construction of seven elements in five groups, including two aspherical lenses to correct distortion. Furthermore, the wide aperture lens combines with the sensor to deliver an impressive level of detail with even light distribution across the entire frame. |
16.3-megapixel APS-C sized X-Trans CMOS II sensorDue to the X-Trans CMOS II sensor architecture that eliminates the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF) and integrates FUJFILM's originally developed color filter array, the FUJIFILM X70 reproduces scenes with resolution and clarity rivaling a larger sensor. X-Trans CMOS II sensor incorporates an original color filter array with a highly random pattern, eliminating the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). These filters are used in conventional systems to inhibit moiré at the expense of resolution. The X-Trans CMOS II sensor array lets the sensor capture unfiltered light from the lens, achieving an unprecedented level of resolution. |
Film SimulationOver decades of film manufacture Fujifilm has perfected the skill of color reproduction and it lives on in the FUJIFILM X70. Pleasing skin tones, natural blues and greens, and the ability to perfectly record the diversity of white balance conditions throughout the day are all taken in the camera's stride, and it also boasts a wide dynamic range for better reproduction of detail. Film Simulation, perfected through Fujifilm's passion and philosophy of color reproduction over 80 years of photographic film manufacturing, allows users to create the colors and tones of photographic film, delivering high quality results with ease. If you shoot RAW, the in-camera RAW processing function enables any of the 11 Film Simulation options to be applied post-capture, broadening your shooting options. |

Shoot at any angle with the 180 degree tilting LCD screenA 3.0-inch 1.04M-dot 180 degree tilting LCD screen allows users to shoot from a wide variety of angles, such as low angles and high angles, and flipping the screen 180 degrees upwards is perfect for selfies. The FUJIFILM X70's wide-angle lens is ideal for high-quality self-portraits that include your surroundings too. |
Enjoy Simple Playback And Shooting With the First X-Series TouchscreenThe FUJIFILM X70 is the first X-Series model to feature touchscreen control. When shooting, the touchscreen allows users to select a focus area and use Touch Shot to take a picture quickly. During playback, smartphone-style gestures can be used, including swipe, drag, pinch-zoom and double tap enlargement, offering a different experience to viewing images using buttons. |
Auto Mode Selector LeverSelecting Auto on the top-plate Auto Mode Selector Lever switches the FUJIFILM X70 to Advanced SR Auto, where it automatically selects the optimal settings according to the scene. This delivers instant high-quality results with settings chosen based on 54 pre-programmed scenes. |
AF system captures the subject perfectly
|

|
|
---|---|---|---|
High-speed AF with on-board phase detection pixelsThe camera's Intelligent Hybrid AF system combines the excellent autofocus speed of Phase Detection AF with the strong low light performance of Contrast AF. The phase detection elements on the image sensor delivers autofocusing speeds of up to 0.1 sec*. A new algorithm has also enhanced performance in low light and low contrast conditions. * Fujifilm research based on CIPA guidelines in High-Performance mode as of January, 2016. |
Six different AF modesThe new Zone and Wide/Tracking modes ensure that sideways movements are captured. AF-S + Single Point Delivers highly accurate autofocus on a specific area. Choose any one of 49-point focus areas, then select the size of the area in five different levels. AF-S + Zone Effective for a subject with moderate movements, which the Single Area mode may have difficulty capturing. Choose a 3x3, 5x3 or 5x5 AF area. Use the centrally-positioned 3x3 and 5x3 phase detection AF areas for faster autofocusing speeds. |
AF-S + Wide/Tracking The camera automatically selects and focuses using several of the 77-point focus areas. This is ideally suited to subjects with unpredictable movements, or multiple moving subjects. AF-C + Single Point Pin-points a subject with a fixed direction of movement, e.g. moving towards the camera. Choose any one of 49-point focus areas, and select the size of the area in five levels. |
AF-C + Zone Tracks a subject when shooting hand-held, using a 3x3, 5x3 or 5x5 area to maintain focus. Choose the phase detection AF areas for faster autofocusing speeds. AF-C + Wide/Tracking Perfect for capturing a subject that moves unpredictably up/down, left/right and closer/further from the camera. Suitable for shooting with a tripod, simply pick the starting position to start tracking the subject. |

Ultra-fast electronic shutterThe camera features a mechanical shutter of up to 1/4000 sec as well as an electronic shutter of up to 1/32000 sec. This allows you to shoot with wide apertures even in bright sun to create beautiful bokeh effects. You can select either the mechanical shutter, electronic shutter or both. |
Interval Timer shootingThe start time, number of shots, and interval can all be set by the camera, allowing use for time-lapse shooting and shots taken with the self-timer. The camera can be set to take 1 - 999 shots over intervals of 1sec - 24 hours. |
FUJIFILM Camera RemoteWith the new dedicated 'FUJIFILM Camera Remote' application, you can focus and trigger the camera release from your smartphone or tablet. The app not only lets you adjust focus, but also control settings like shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity.

Old review:
Before I jump into the details of the camera, I want to talk a bit about why I picked this one to begin with, because it certainly was not on my short list when I started researching. I own a Canon T5 Rebel DSLR which my wife and I bought a year ago for a trip. It was affordable, and with the right non-kit lenses has created some incredible photos. The only major issue with it is that I only used it when we planned a big trip or I went on a photo "expedition." I was using my iPhone 6s for 90% of my other photos since the T5 is a pain to lug around, and it just wasn't doing the random moments of life justice. Also, I travel a decent amount for work and love taking photos of my journeys, so the T5 wasn't really a workable option for that.
I spent a month looking at cameras before buying the X70. I was drawn to Fujifilm because a friend had the XE1 and I was blown away by the photos he took (and I realized mirrorless was the future). The more I researched the more I realized that Fuji quality fit a lot of what I wanted: solid design, timeless style, and amazing JPEG quality SOOC without tons of work in Lightroom. Of course, I really wanted the Leica Q but you know how that goes.
Initially, I thought I wanted an interchangeable lens camera and was eying the X-E2S and some mirrorless full frames, but I realized that what was holding my photography back wasn't my choice of lens or going full frame: it was that I wasn't taking enough photos of enough things during the day. 9 times out of 10 all I had was an iPhone because I either wasn't bringing the T5 or I didn't feel comfortable using it (too intrusive, terribly loud shutter, etc.)
I heard that the X100 line was incredibly popular with street and travel photographers, and I had that thing sitting in my Amazon cart for a week. I compared the X70 with it constantly, and had such a hard time getting over the lack of viewfinder. What kind of camera doesn't have a viewfinder, right? Eventually, I convinced myself that if I really wanted a portable, high quality camera, I might as well go small as possible (and I really wanted a tilt LCD!). I can confidently say that was a good decision and so far I haven't missed the viewfinder once (I'm an iPhone addict, I haven't used a viewfinder for most of my photos in years!) Also, considering the price is half of the X100T, I think this camera is a great value.
Anyways, so far I'm blown away by this little work of art. The image quality is incredible, definitely beats my canon and the photos have a sense of magic that even my friend's fancy Canon and Nikon full frame setups lack. The dials all feel well made and the camera feels solid if heavier than expected. I have smaller hands and find that it fits well, but if you have huge hands it might feel too small (did I mention it's small?).
Also, I'm addicted to WIFI mode. It works so well (even if the Fujifilm app is terrible). Basically, the camera creates its own wifi network that you connect your phone to, then you choose on the camera which photos to send to the phone. Photos take about a second to transfer for each photo, and go straight into your photos app. Already it has dramatically cut down on both my worry about losing photos, and my turnaround time for posting on instagram, etc.
The film simulation modes are fun, and I find myself sitting in Classic Chrome most often. If you do Fine + Raw you don't have to worry about applying the wrong film style and can tweak the originals as you see fit.
Did I mention this thing is quiet? We just got a Sony A7R ii at work which is the top of the line mirrorless right now, and the X70 is 10x quieter. Already my wife is 10x less annoyed by the random photos I take of her (yes, I can tend to be a shutterbug). And, if you turn on the electronic shutter it's silent (though there are drawbacks to that mode).
Haven't really tried the video mode, that's not why I got this and the iPhone makes for an incredible video camera so I don't know if I really will use it much.
Auto focus is really fast, and the touch screen makes it easy to kind of "mash" the auto focus if you're doing things like taking selfies or trying to focus on something quickly. The only issue I have with the focus system in "S" mode (single shot auto focus) is that it's just that: single shot. It needs to do a full re-focus after each shot which is foreign to me because my Canon does not need to do that (this slows down the time between shots quite a bit). The "solution" here seems to be to use manual focus mode and then the AE-L/AF-L button to focus which will then hold the focus between shots. I would have rathered the focus stay put while I still have the shutter release half-way depressed. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
As for the touch screen, I haven't used it much and don't know if I'll use the touch to shoot often. If anything, I'll use the touch to focus mode like I do on the iPhone when the auto focus won't do. Also, I do find myself using the tilt of the LCD, and the selfie mode is actually really fun (yea, I'm that guy).
I also love the exposure compensation dial. Makes it so easy to get decent photos out of really sunny or bright situations. I'm comparing this to the iPhone camera app which is just awful at making it easy to adjust exposure manually. I've used this dial far more than I expected.
The 2.8 aperature lens gives me plently of creamy bokeh and low light performance feels better than my T5 (I know that's not saying much). I really wanted the f/2 of the x100t but now that I have the 2.8 I don't mind it at all.
Anyways, I love this thing and I'm taking it everywhere I go. I don't know if I'll be touching my DSLR apart from portraits or situations where I want to have a zoom lens. Will try to post some pictures later.
Bought this camera as a walk around street shooting companion that I always have on me in case I come across a moment I want to capture. Already a Fujifilm shooter (I have the X-T1, X-T10, and a number of lenses), the X70 is every bit as good as the other two Fuji cameras I have, in terms of IQ (quality), speed of the autofocus system, and the amazing colors straight out of camera without having to do much post.
The articulated viewfinder is incredibly useful, I find myself using it as a waist level viewfinder. Plus the ability to use the screen to set focus points, or tap to focus and shoot is great when trying to document situations when you don't want to make it seem obvious that you're shooting photos. I honestly don't find the lack of a viewfinder all that bad, considering my style of shooting. Even in broad day light the viewfinder is quite usable.
The camera is nice and compact compared to my X-10, and slips into a coat or jacket pocket easily; the fixed 18.5mm (28mm) pancake lens hardly moves when powered on. I also like how quickly the camera wakes up from sleep to take a shot, it is very responsive.
A very useful feature is that the camera can create a wifi network for your smartphone or tablet to connect to using a very user friendly app, to view download images, control the camera remotely, and in the case of your smartphone, use its GPS to tag location data to your photos. This is awesome! I don't have to remember where I took the shots, as its embedded in the photos! It keeps the connection to the camera for an hour. During this time, you can power off your camera, and when you power it back on, it will reconnect by itself!
I find the battery life to be okay, on par with the other Fuji X-series cameras, I always carry 2-3 around just in case. One feature that I like on the X70 that I wish Fuji had on the X-T1 / X-T10 is being able to charge the battery in camera with a micro USB cable.
Some things that be improved upon would include the ability to manually turn of the screen to conserve battery between shots. You can set the auto-shutoff to 2 minutes, which isn't bad, but it be nice for more options. Also there is no included cover plate for the hot shoe, I found it a bit uncomfortable, but fortunately I had the plate from my X-T1 that I wasn't using since I bought a thumb grip for it.

Bought this camera as a walk around street shooting companion that I always have on me in case I come across a moment I want to capture. Already a Fujifilm shooter (I have the X-T1, X-T10, and a number of lenses), the X70 is every bit as good as the other two Fuji cameras I have, in terms of IQ (quality), speed of the autofocus system, and the amazing colors straight out of camera without having to do much post.
The articulated viewfinder is incredibly useful, I find myself using it as a waist level viewfinder. Plus the ability to use the screen to set focus points, or tap to focus and shoot is great when trying to document situations when you don't want to make it seem obvious that you're shooting photos. I honestly don't find the lack of a viewfinder all that bad, considering my style of shooting. Even in broad day light the viewfinder is quite usable.
The camera is nice and compact compared to my X-10, and slips into a coat or jacket pocket easily; the fixed 18.5mm (28mm) pancake lens hardly moves when powered on. I also like how quickly the camera wakes up from sleep to take a shot, it is very responsive.
A very useful feature is that the camera can create a wifi network for your smartphone or tablet to connect to using a very user friendly app, to view download images, control the camera remotely, and in the case of your smartphone, use its GPS to tag location data to your photos. This is awesome! I don't have to remember where I took the shots, as its embedded in the photos! It keeps the connection to the camera for an hour. During this time, you can power off your camera, and when you power it back on, it will reconnect by itself!

●使用する場面、このジャンルにおける私の習熟度
写真歴3年。
NEX6、X100、X100T、RICOH GRD4、GR、X-T1、X-Pro2を保有し、今はほとんどX70とX-Pro2の2台しか使っていません。
写真歴は浅いながら、幾つか賞を頂いたり、作例として使って頂いたりしています。
JPEG撮って出しが基本で、あえて編集することが前提でない限り99%はJPEGしか撮りません。

【結論:満足度】
★★★★★じゃ足りない。X-Pro2と別の守備範囲をもつ最高のカメラ。お風呂の時以外は肌身離さず持ってます。
—
【選定基準(商品を選ぶ時に重要視したポイント)】
①画質(色再現、被写体を選ばない万能さ)
持ち歩き用と思いRICOH GRも持っていましたが、どうしてもWBが好きになれず、結局X-Pro2を買って以来そればかりを常に(お風呂に入る時以外)持ち歩いてました。
特に撮影対象がストリートスナップや風景だけだったり、モノクロだけならGRに何も不満は無かったのですが、人を撮る時にはGRのJPEGの色が好きになれなかったからです。(反対にFUJIには被写体を選ばず、JPEGで常に安心して撮れる万能さは信頼しきってます。)
②小型、携帯性(特に軽さ)
それでもX-Pro2は重いのです。仕事鞄(TUMI)に入れて持ち歩くと、大きさはどうとでもなるものの重さは緩やかに体力を削り、画質を求めて携行してるのに夜には疲れて取り出さないという矛盾を抱えてしまい、軽いEveryday Cameraを探し始めました。
※ポケットにも入ります。が、GRもそうなんですが小柄な僕にはゴツゴツするので、どのみち入れません。無理がある。
③暗所(Hi-ISO)耐性
GRもX70も同じAPS-Cサイズのセンサーを持っていますが、ISO感度を上げた時の気持ちいい写真が撮れるのは間違いなくX70(というか富士フイルムのセンサー)です。
正直、携帯性とのバランスで考えて暗所耐性を求めなければ、私にとってのGRの競合はiPhoneでしあ。GRは暗所で画がノイズ崩れするので、「それならiPhoneで良くないか?」とすら思います。ノイズを嫌ってハイコントラストなモノクロを選ぶなら、iPhoneでもイケてる写真撮れるぞ、と。X70はISO AUTOで6400までは上がるようにしてますが、まったく汚さが気になりません。

【結果的に…】
サブカメラ(重さの代わりの平日用の妥協カメラ)のつもりで買ったのですが、以下の2つのポイントが想像を遥かに超えていたため、X-Pro2の出番が休日でも減り過ぎて慌てているくらい気に入りました。これ、最高です。GRとは全く別物。X100とも別物。本体とレンズを一つしか選べないとすれば、積極的にこれだけ旅に持っていこうと思えるいいカメラです。
①28mmでも腕次第で人は全然撮れる…
今まではボケないし、余計なものが写り込み過ぎるし…と人撮りに28mmは向かないと思ってましたが、GRの色が僕のポートレートのイメージに合わなかっただけなんだと思いました。カメラが変わると撮影者のテンションって全然違うもんなんですね。
②これでしか撮れない写真がある…
X70で撮る人物はものすごく楽しいです!何よりファインダーを覗かないコンパクトサイズだと、副産物として中型以上のカメラよりもズイッと寄れるので、臨場感が出ます。むしろコツは近づけ過ぎと思うくらい寄って撮ることです。
またチルト液晶はX-T1の時にも使っていましたが、画角が28mmで固定されてるX70の方が恩恵を感じます。これがあるだけでこんなにクリエイティブに使える機能だったのかと驚きました。むしろX-T2の縦チルトもX70に搭載して欲しい…。
—
【その他の要素】
①X100のようにファインダーの汚れを気にしなくていいのが楽だ…。
X-Pro2は防塵防滴だからいいんです。常に綺麗なファインダーが保たれるから。
でもX100は大好きなカメラなのにファインダー内部にすぐ埃が入る。それが気になってしまっていたので、X70はいっそファインダーがなくなってかえってポケットにもどこにも放り込めるのが気に入ってます。
②本当はX-Pro2と同じセンサーが搭載されたらもっと良かった。
分かってます、それでもX-T1と同じ画質ですからいいんです。…でも、X-Pro2のACROSSを知ってしまうと、きっと次期モデルではセンサー変わるんだろうなって思っちゃいます。
③プロテクトフィルターは必須
X100も同じですが、レンズカバーが付いているんですが、いちいち付けたり外したり面倒です。プロテクトフィルターを付けて、カバーなしで鞄やケースに放り込むのがいいと思います。プロテクトフィルターは丈夫ですし、買い替えもそこまで高くないですから。アダプターはサードパーティの安いので十分です。
(GRと比較してレンズバリアがないことが挙げられますが、この使い方をしてることから私にはデメリットになりません。)
④レンズフードと外付ファインダーを付けると大変格好よろしい
コンパクトカメラなのに、レンズフードとファインダーを付けるだけで結構イケてる見た目に化けます。コンパクトさを優先したい時と、見た目を渋く持ち歩く時で二度美味しいカメラ。
⑤絶対使わないと思ってたデジタルテレコンが意外と使える
あくまで緊急脱出用なんですが、画質がなかなか悪くないので、意外と使えます。50mmが一番好きな画角なので、いざという時に使えるのはいいです。
⑥フラッシュが付いてるのはやっぱり便利
特にシンクロ撮影するときですが、ビルトインされてると思いついた時にすぐ使えるのがいいです。これはX100と同様。今のところ使う場面がなかったので使ってませんが、ハイスピードシンクロもできるようなので、一眼レフとまた違う種類のカメラとして表現の幅がもてて楽しいです。
⑦10mmまで寄れる!
GRと同じマクロ域が使えるのは本当に嬉しいです。デジタルテレコンと組み合わせると簡易マクロが撮れるのがいい。
⑧(私にとって)唯一のGRの利点はフルプレススナップ機能
これはタッチシャッターで代用が効くかと期待しましたが、ダメでした。遅いし、AFの精度がタッチシャッターに限って悪すぎます。フルプレス機能での速写性はGRが絶対いい。ひたすらテンポよく街をフルプレスで撮りまくり、後でRAWから現像する使い方をするならGRの方が絶対いいです。私にはそれより大事なポイントがありましたが。

【以下、余談: ビギナー〜ライトユーザーにこそ絶対これだと思う】
最近、子供が生まれる知り合いに立て続けにカメラを買う相談を受けるのですが、CやNのレンズ交換式が引き合いに出ても胸を張ってX70をオススメしてます。4人程X70を実際に買いましたが、皆さんとても好評です。
①カメラは持ち歩かなきゃ意味ないです。
重いのは想像以上にじわじわと持ち歩く気力を削ぎます。大きいカメラを首から下げてると、子供を抱っこするために屈んだ時に頭にゴツンなんてこともあり、結局買った半年後にはiPhoneに絶対戻りますから。余程写真に魅せられてドップリ浸からない限り、まずはポケットに入るこのくらいのサイズから始めるのが絶対いいです。(ただし、言わずもがな運動会や舞台撮影は画角的にムリです。ズーム付で買いましょう。)
②iPhoneの画角に近い
ライトユーザーでも取っつきやすいみたいです。妻に渡してもすぐなかなかの写真を撮ります。(普段自分が写らない写真ばかり残るので、パートナーが使いやすいというのは意外と大事だと気づいた…。)
