Great Camera, App Needs Work

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018

This camera takes awesome pictures and is great for beginners. The companion app is a bit cumbersome and takes some getting used to, but once you have it figured out it is OK. Hopefully they update it sometime in the future. Overall I would buy this camera again over the Sony.

The camera froze a lot and the battery gets stuck every time

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2019

The camera started to freeze every time I played a lot with the shutter, ISO, and aperture. Not for heavy use, It works great for travel, but if you are looking for a beginner professional camera look elsewhere. Furthermore, after buying another camera for my photography, I started using this camera for vloging and the camera started to freeze again and recently the battery got stuck inside the chamber and now I have to use duck tape to get it out everytime I want to change the batteries. This camera is intended for light use and vloging but its missing the vloging part that was promised. I love Fuji, I have a xt3 and I love it, but this camera was a bad experience.

Excellent Step-Up Camera

I see a whole lot of mixed reviews here, but...it is a poor workman (photographer) who blames his tools. I enjoy mine for what it is, a good, light, camera with many excellent features. No, it isn't a Hasselblad, but it does what most people want it to do...take excellent photographs and not weigh a ton while doing it.

Great camera if you carry a bag around already

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2018

Style: BaseColor: BrownSet: Camera OnlyVerified Purchase

This was a nice camera but we ultimately ended up returning it.

We chose this camera to take nicer photos than our phones without having to lug around a massive DSLR everywhere with us. We did our research and this topped the charts. We tried the camera out for two weeks in a variety of settings - indoor, outdoor, night, distance, etc. I wished that it would zoom in more with the lens it came with but when we saw the photos on the computer you could zoom in all the way on the photo and still have a very clear image, so the zoom was in post processing. I also really didn’t like not having a viewfinder, though it didn’t bother my husband. He played a lot with the settings and seemed to hone in on what he was doing in less than a week of using it.

Ultimately what made us return the camera was this - my husband often chose not to bring it with him when we would leave to see stuff, because he could take photos with his phone that were good enough. If we were going somewhere and he had a backpack on, he’d bring the camera and use it. But if it was just wallet, keys, and phone, he wouldn’t grab the camera, even in a small carrying case. So it didn’t make sense for us. It is a great camera, easy to use, but we ended up choosing not to use it a lot of the time.

Also the fujifilm photo transfer to your Phone was junk and I never got it to work. Glitchy app so I couldn’t post photos on social media. That was a big selling point for me and it was a bust.

Beautiful pink camera, vibrant quality images and cool filters

My parents got this for me as a gift. It is my first camera and I really love it! It takes vibrant pictures and has cool filters and a flip up screen to take selfies and shots from various angles. I don’t have any complaints and the pink color is beautiful and unique so 5 stars!

Cumbersome Flip Screen

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019

Style: BaseColor: BrownSet: Camera Only

When the flip screen is flipped for a selfie, the wire is exposed as well as the articulated metal arm to flip the screen. It is awkward to flip it. Metal is somewhat sharp edges. The silver part of the body looks and feels like painted silver plastic. You are really paying just for the lens and the screen, they cheaped out on the body of the camera.

It's a good camera for pictures but terrible for vloggers who want to record videos.

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2018

Style: BaseColor: PinkSet: Camera OnlyVerified Purchase

I'm actually a bit disappointed with this product, I initially bought it for vlogging purposes, but the video quality is not all that great, and the microphone quality is absolutely terrible. If you're going to use this camera for vlogging I suggest you get a separate microphone piece to attach to the camera. But I will not like the camera takes extremely good pictures, I would highly recommend this camera to any beginning photographer.

It is hard to write an objective view until you master all of the settings for the to take the best pictures you can

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

Style: BaseColor: SilverSet: Camera OnlyVerified Purchase

Still testing out my new camera. Trying to master the setting to optimize pictures. I purchased this before my trip to Europe next month. It is hard to write an objective view until you master all of the settings to take the best pictures you can. So far, I like the Fujifilm X-A5. I do have difficulties with macro settings, my previous camera captured macro shots easily with great details. To be fair, I have to read the manual again to make sure I know macro on this new camera. I do have difficulties with the Bluetooth/WiFi to transfer to my iPhone. I can get a few pictures transferred and then it looses the connection. Perhaps it is user error. Overall this is a good purchase. I am hoping to learn more on how to take even better pictures. I did not like the neck strap that was included. I opted to purchase a third party wrist strap.

Almost perfect!

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2018

Style: BaseColor: BrownSet: Camera OnlyVerified Purchase

I love everything about this camera, from its ultra-light weight and cute look to the cool power zoom lens and sharp images, except for the lack of viewfinder. Whyyyy, why didn't they add the tiny little viewfinder that is so important for outdoor shootings? I bought this camera mainly for travel/landscape photos so viewfinder is a must. If you buy it mainly for everyday uses (i.e. family photos and indoor events), this camera is probably the best!
