DPReview TV: Fujifilm X-A7 Preview

[@HotarusLens]

On customizability - this is aimed at consumers who tend to be less than tech savvy on average. If you give too much customizability a lot of users will wind up changing a ton of stuff that they don't realize, then not know how to get back or find what they want. So I can understand the limits on customizing.

[@dejayrezme8617]

Is there really any evidence for that? It sounds like a plausible argument from support experience but I'm still rather skeptical. People who are too stupid to remember they changed a custom button surely exist, but are they really a bigger problem than customer satisfaction of other people. So if corporations actually have data to support this then fine, but it could also be a myth that just gets repeated.

[@HotarusLens]

@@dejayrezme8617 It's not about people being "stupid", it's the nature of human interaction with technology. I've worked with countless PhD professors as well as staff who move or delete a shortcut to an application and become unable to work, not knowing how to get to their application anymore. The same issue manifests across all technology necessitating simplicity in the lower consumer range of products.

[@RicardoJose-cw5ii]

Been using the XA3 with a 7artisans 25mm for my streetphotography. All I gotta say is. If you want a compact camera with interchangeable lenses without having to break the bank, the XA line is your best bet. I would recommend putting a pancake lens on it tho. Seriously makes a good street photography kit. Its look down on because its targeted towards the casual market, but the XA line are a solid still camera.

[@thestrongking18]

Ricardo Jose I’ve been rocking my xa-3 with a 7artisan 50 1.8 too. Gotta say it’s a bang for your buck if you want to step up from phone image quality and control your camera more since it’s rather cheap and compatible with lots of cheap third party lens.

[@Mark-qn9xl]

Hi Guys I have been photographing for over 50 years so I guess I am not the target audience. I just like to watch the videos that you two produce. It seems to me that any entry level photographic tool needs to substantially out perform a smartphone otherwise whats the point. Perhaps a quick comparison to other competitors would be helpful especially those close to a smartphone's IQ

[@cLaw27]

Really great point! This should be written on all new camera design tables.

Fuji better fix the audio hiss or it's a deal breaker for video. The flip screen and simplified touch menu could be a hit with vloggers. Good preview. Look forward to the full review 👍

[@MartianCitizen]

Nice interpretation of the A7. I believe the real story to take away from this camera is the articulating and...touch screen. I can see this on the xh2, with improved ibis, and...bigger battery. It would crush the competition. And not to be forgotten, improved auto focus...One can only hope... As always keep up the good work and keep'em flying....beautiful family.

[@cameraz99]

It is not necessary to hold the X-A7 "at arm's length." Keep your elbows pressed against your body and you'll get good stability. 📷

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

Having owned several Fuji cameras and having an X-T30 now (and a few Nikon cameras), I'd still prefer to have the bayer type filter rather than X-Trans. Files would be smaller, processed and loaded more quickly in Lightroom and better detail (ironically) with the raw files due to better compatibility with the various raw processors. I have used Capture One also and while the detail is better with Capture One, it's still not as good as it could be in my opinion and I think it's due to the software not being able to handle those files as well as bayer type. That being said, I love my X-T30 (but wish it had a high quality bayer type sensor) ;-)

[@sexysilversurfer]

Hooked on Photography I would consider Fuji if they had Bayer in a model with a joystick.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

sexysilversurfer I would love an X-H2 with IBIS and Bayer sensor :-)

[@iddeegee]

Same, I hate X-Trans ) and I own X-T20 + A2 + A1, and yes even this A7 I believe will give you better ISO and details than XT3/30/20... Fuji knows it but they cannot admit it to the public so they try to cripple all their Bayer versions (except for their MF) they need somehow to justify the high price and the X-Trans BS. If they had same body in 2 versions: Bayer and X-Trans I'd choose the Bayer, no hesitations... I hope T200 (bayer) will be better than A7 then I'll upgrade from T20 (x-trans)

[@joinsubin]

Can u guys stick to the kit lens while doing review of budget cameras. I dont think people who are looking for this camera are gonna spend thousands of dollars buying lenses.

For every person that wants just kit lens shots, there is another that complains that we didnt use any others. In the end this way you get the most options and on dpreview in the xa7 sample gallery you can see photos from all the lenses.

[@davidlewis726]

I do like your reviews but it would be good if, when reviewing entry level camera's, that you could use kit lenses so that people can see the results. Most people will buy this camera because it is cheap and a kit is about all they can afford, they will rarely slap some glass on it that costs as much or more then the body.

[@ryans_life]

Great preview and points. For its intended audience it will be amazing no doubt about it. I was interested in all of the "nerd" features in case i wanted to add it my kit bag as a b or c camera. Loved that the guys covered all of my question marks (e.g. AF speeds, customization, buffer speed , how it handles nicer glass etc.)

[@Sabundy]

I quite like what this camera is trying to be. I will most likely buy it as my first camera as I am coming from using smartphones for photos. This seems to be a good entry level camera to get more into photography

[@karunverma1]

Hey guys can you test entry level cameras exclusively with kit lenses as that's how they are expected to spend their all life?

[@Crazyalex360]

J. T. Yeah but people who buy this camera aren’t going to have the lens arsenal of a pro photographer. Even the 35mm f2 is a push for people who will purchase this camera. People thinking of getting this camera will be misled on the output when they don’t realise they have to double or triple their investment in it.

[@Klarden]

I disagree. While showing more of the kit lenses would be a plus, I can agree on that, one of the key benefits of Fuji's X-mount in particular is how huge the choice of lenses is. And if someone is really into photography and plans to start with simple and grow into more expensive range they can start by buying and learning lenses, and then simply transition to a new body, while keeping the collection of lenses the same.

[@HossDiaph]

Can't agree less. Why bother having an interchangeable lens camera then? They included a lot of kit lens shots in the review.

[@dima1353]

I know many entry level DSLR users, who use at least cheap 50mm and 35mm.

[@ShutterKnack]

No, Karun. Don't buy an interchangeable camera then? Just get a bridge camera.

[@yashveersingh1795]

Finally! A Fuji one 🍷

[@iSirTaki]

A flippy screen AND touch interface , yes, that is what Sony is not capable of building in their fullframe line.

[@EinzMY]

Sony Mobile can put 4k OLED touch screen in their dying smartphone, but can't put a proper screen and touch UI for their flagship camera....which is a shame. If only their divisions/departments can work together and not afraid of cannibalizing each other.

[@iSirTaki]

@@EinzMY They rely on their lead in technology, they won't give that to us until the other manufacturer are coming threatening closer. That is arrogant.

[@dasaauto2024]

Sir Taki Other manufacturers have already passed Sony by in rear LCD quality and especially in touch UI. Rear LCDs aren’t normally an area Sony ignores-but they’ve really dropped the ball here. The Fuji A7, that might be too basic to even enjoy, has a far superior screen (size, quality and resolution) and also uses a clean full function touch UI. After seeing how Nikon implemented touch on their gorgeous rear LCDs, I was sold. (And pretty darn surprised that Sony would launch a fourth gen a7 camera, the a7R IV, with what is essentially a 1st gen LCD that still lacks a meaningful, comprehensive touch UI implementation. I think Fuji and Sony might succeed by combine their ILC and lens divisions. Sony can focus Fuji’s stilted and uneven talents, and Fuji can help Sony innovate in ways they appear to be darn near blind to. There should still be Sony and a Fuji cameras, but for APS-C the only thing Sony does right is the sensor and processing (plus one or two APS-C lenses every five years). Fuji needs to be far more efficient and focused. They’re spread so thin economies of scale don’t work well-which is partially a result of potential customers not understanding what they offer, since they have so many products represented by an alphabet soup or T’s X’s and 1’s.

[@EinzMY]

Hi Dpreview, I read the articles on dpreview and watch this video, but unfortunately there's not even a single mention of this camera's new Bright Mode for shooting images, as well as no single vlogging test. I think most buyer of this camera would like to the camera capabilities when shooting full Auto (new Bright Mode), vlogging test and whether this camera is suitable for youtube content creation.

Hey 😀! How was your experience with this camera 📷?

[@raymondsterpaio7932]

This is a great camera for an amateur with an interest in proper photography. If you’re after a point-and-shoot then good as this is, you can probably do better for the price - the auto setting return results no better than my google pixel phone. But the real advantage of this kind of camera is the size advantage over a full blown SLR, combined with the control advantage (and lens choice) over a top end phone. This is small enough not to be prohibitive to take out on a whim. You can mess with setting galore and the results are pleasing in all sorts of light. What I’ve been very pleased with though is that the video functionality is surprisingly good. My company uses this to make social media vid clips, and the results are very pro looking. I’ve always been a Nikon man, but having had a chance now to mess around with this for a couple of weeks I would say Fujifilm are doing a great job in this niche segment of the market. This is well worth a look and if your interested I@ got a link to buy them through @t

Thanks very good review, I am interested in this camera. I disagree with the conventional wisdom that a screen makes for less stable pictures than a viewfinder. I have tested, and I’m actually capable of using slower shutter speeds when using a screen than when I’m using a viewfinder. My arms are straining when I have to push the camera up against my face. (And it is not because I have not used viewfinders, I have been photographing since the 70s.)

I am unsure if I am missing something with the settings. Any of the 4K recording formats given is recording not more than 34secs video, where they say 15mins. The recording just stops after 34secs and says Hold! Storing...HD videos are recording fine as says. I would love to hear if you encountered such issue or something I am missing out to configure. Thanks.

[@alexshdvideo]

Do you have a recommendation for small fun good video/stills camera? Vs an iPhone 11 Pro? I would expect there should be lots of options for $500 but I haven’t tripped over any. 4K at 24ffps and good dynamic range as a fun invisible camera in public that gets footage that can intercut with better Zcam/BMPCC4K etc... or am I just being unrealistic? IPhone 11 Pro with Filimic Pro app?

[@yarkiymir1]

Yep, it's pointed towards novice user, but as I see it the main problem of Fuji system is that it's a closed system. And while lens choice for professional use is very good and reasonable priced, in the amateur category you'll find either old and slow working lenses, or newer f/2 lineup, which is quite expensive. You can easily find a 100 or 150 dollar fixed prime in Canon's or Nikon's world, but here you have to pay 400. And that's a lot for aps-c crop 35 or 50mm f/2 prime. So, most users are stuck with slow aperture kit lenses, with an image quality of an iphone, or even worse.

[@simpsn]

[@roknovak4155]

Reviewing this paired with a bunch of high quality primes instead of the kit zoom seems strange. I'm considering buying it for a family member who just wants a somewhat higher quality point-and-shoot. I guess most people buying this camera will be of that type and will stick with the kit zoom, then maybe buy something like a 55-200 for more reach... I own the 90 and it's an awesome lens, but I'd love to see how this performs with the lenses people are actually likely to use on it...

What lens do u use for the video?

[@dragonstone6594]

My Nikon D7100 from 500 years ago had at least 2 second buffer in RAW. It's very disapointing seeing Fujifilm artificially hold this camera back like that. And the ommision of the USB-C headphone jack sucks as well. Other than that it looks like a pretty good second camera. But what I'm interested to know is that if the Rolling Shutter in 4K 24p video is better or worse than other Fujifilm cameras like the X-T2 or X-T3. Can you please test that Jordan? Thx!

[@problemat1que]

It's not artificial because putting in less memory saves you money. Unlike actual artificial limitations in recent Canon models that can do 30 fps video but not 24, which is easier for the hardware to do but was removed from Canon's camera software to protect their cinema line. USB headphone would have been nice, not sure if that makes pennies or dollars difference to the manufacturer (keep in mind Fuji likely needs to make this camera for under $200 to be profitable after marketing and dealer margins). I'm sure rolling shutter will be part of the full review.

[@dragonstone6594]

@@problemat1que Agree with most of what you said. But technology has advanced a lot in all these years. So I don't think that it costs too much to at least have a 2 second 6fps buffer. It doesn't make sense on how slow that is for today. So it makes me assume that the slowness is just an upgrade incentive. Similar to the Canon tactics.

I found that using the internal mic I got no warble, but the internal mic is to great. When I plug in my Rode Wireless go, I get a slight warble, its worse on my Saramonic XM1. I can easily remove the hiss in post with Audacity, but the warble cant be fixed. I though I just had a bad camera, but it seems this warble is normal. I also wondered whether a powered mic would help...? I picked up the camera in a sale, and just wanted a cheap vlogging rig.
