Is it worth it for most people? Naw. Is it worth it for those who need the specific parameters that only the X70 can fit in 2024? Hell yeah. The beauty about photography is there are so many choices for tools, so everyone can find the tool that's worth it for their goal.

This seems like a great choice to have if you’re really comfortable with the fixed focal length. I picked up a RX100 III for 300 bucks and ticks all the boxes as a pocket alternative for my iPhone 14 (which already gives me great capability on the go) Old is gold and you can never go wrong with those zeiss glass, and seems much the same for the pancake on here

I have two X70s and they are the cameras I am most emotionally attached to. There is something magical about certain Fuji optics. What's more, the X70 is a camera that doesn't scare the person in front of you. Recently, however, I have been leaving them in disuse and the GR3 is always with me. Of course I still have no idea how long we will have to wait to get the successor to this little gem. Come on Fuji no need for a new X100, XT5 etc etc give us this damn X80. 💎

The X70 is fun to use in manual with zone focus. Lock focus at 1, 2 or 3m at f8 and the 28mm lens gives you tons in focus. Just point and shoot. If you set a function button as AF you can quickly change your manual focus distance without fiddling with the focus ring. I too hope Fuji revisits this camera, it could be a serious contender to the GR series.

The Fuji X70 is a great Camera and yes the prices on it have gone up but if you think about it there is no other camera like it. Yes there is the Ricoh GR III but that camera has no flash and I hate to say it the AF is not very good on it and no tilt screen. Keep in mind that the X70 is now 8 years old and the AF had it's limits at the time. If you are buying an X70 you will keep that in mind just like the X-E1 AF. I got an X-70 a year ago and it is a little gem. Fuji just needs to come up with a new version of it but they are probabley afraid that it will hurt the X100 line sales.

I love my x70, the size the sensor and the glass. I have a number of Fuji cameras and lenses but the x70 is used the most. It’s so light and great for documenting family life . I can’t see a day when I would ever sell it. Prices today are insane, I’m not sure I’d take the leap at these prices unless you have used one before. FYI, take a small mini manfrotto tripod with you and shutter release and it takes great night images. I take mine around Sydney Harbour while everyone is lugging around loads of gear.

If this isn't worth it for the price, do you have any alternative camera suggestions that have an APS-C sensor, similar small camera body, compact f2.8 AF lens, and flip up screen for a total of ~500 to 700usd? Edit: I looked on ebay and facebook marketplace to see the prices of the cameras you mentioned in the video. A used GR2/GR3 goes for $800-$1000, x-e2 goes for $500 for the body only, and x-pro 2 goes for $1000 body only. Adding an AF lens would add even more to the total cost, so i'm trying to find a real viable alternative to the x70 for the same or less price

👑 I loved the years of images I spent with mine. I upgraded to the Ricoh GRIII last year, and I miss the flip up screen. I'd absolutely put a UV filter on it though. Mine got a chunk of gunk on the sensor super early on - so I couldn't shoot more than f5.6. My only real complaint about this camera is that the lens at f2.8 is calibrated to only shoot up close. Every time I tried to get a bigger scene at f2.8 it was real mushy. Easily avoidable though.

I very much appreciated hearing your thoughts on this. Sure, there are bigger cameras out there that offer better specs for less money, but the size of the X70 is a primary component of its appeal, that and the tilting screen. It fits in the pocket of your pants if your pants aren't tight. Nothing marks one like a tourist or a "photographer" than gear strapped around the neck. Sure, for dedicated sessions there are better cameras, but I've found nothing better for casual walks about town. The tilt screen comes in handy when trying to get away from the eye-level view of most shots, and is super when shooting kids at their eye level. Its suitability for street photography is the reason it retains its price on the used camera market, because you haven't been able to buy a new model since 2016.

We now have the answers and I personally LOVE the upgrades and pre ordered the X100VI. The 40MP sensor gives you 35/50/70 FF equivalent focal length in a fixed lens body. With the wide/tele converter you have 28/35/50/70/100mm FF equivalent in a tiny package with built in ND, leaf shutter, etc. The IBIS in the same body is incredible and now makes this a viable video camera in addition to stills. For someone like me who is a photographer first and loves the analog feel, but also wants to capture content in an everyday/travel sized camera, this is the ultimate camera.

I bought the X70 in 2017, one of the last new ones in the shop. I still use it very much for certain projects, and as a back-up camera it is an awsome camera. But, of course it has limitations, such as that the autofocus that could be better. As a pockatable camera it is quite unique, especially when one is using the Fuji system anyhow. The flipscreen i use regularly, especially for low shots, or over the head shots. I have also bought a very useful ClearViewer attachment, with which i can shoot with the camera at eylevel, and that makes a viewfinder out of the screen. Today's second hand prices are insane. I don't know if i would spend more on an 8 year old second hand camera than i paid for it new. But i seem to have a hand in buying cameras new that later become legendary and cost more second hand than when new. I have used my Contax T3 extensively for more than a decade and a half, and still have it around in case i work again on an analog project, or continue with one or the other analog projects of the past. Another such camera is my Fuji X-E4, which i waited months for until my order finally arrived, and is now second hand already at least as expensive than what i paid for new. That is another underated but incredibly useful camera. But back to the X70. I have always loved pocketable cameras in addition to my regular set up. There are situations where small cameras are an advantage. In situations where people might be hostile to cameras small cameras are less conspicious, in dangerous areas a small camera can disappear in one's pocket and not attract robbers straight away. Or simply when one goes out not primarily intending to take photos and does not want to burdened with a large equipment. For those situations the X70 is an ideal camera. Unfortunately though the choice of pocketable cameras with large sensors is quite limited. I am extremely glad that i bought my X70 when i did. I would never sell it.

Great camera. Hope they will one day bring out a successor. If they fix the aperture ring being easier to grip as well as putting 3.5mm mic jack and IBIS in there then it can also be used as vlogging cam. Of course with a new sensor and great autofocus. Like a X100VI but without the fancy viewfinder. So also a cheaper solution (around 800 bucks) Otherwise yeah the price is way too much nowadays. Its worth 300-400 bucks max.

I've had X70s since they came out in 2016. Before these I was shooting the GR2 (and GR..same camera) for years. This camera is amazing for street photography when you work with ZONE FOCUSING. Go in manual focus and use the distance scale that appears on the screen. Leave it at 1.5 or 2m and forget about focus. Just shoot. It's not meant to be used with autofocus. If you wanna use it like that, get another camera. But nothing is faster than a prefocused camera. Not even the fastest autofocus of 2024. I use the backbutton focus if I need to be really precise for one pic. But 99% is zone focusing.

I agree with what you said. I owned it for about 6 months and the focus was the reason I got rid of it. Lovely camera but it shows it's age as far as focus and other aspects you pointed out. It would be amazing if Fuji would release a X80 with the current autofocus system and sensor. Now that camera would be amazing. One can only wish.

So I’m currently looking at buying the x70 as a social/travel camera! I love the dreamy filmy look and the vibrant colours it captures, and I feel like it does casual/not hype realistic style better than the similarly priced xe 3 of xe 2. I like how small it is, I love how it looks, I love the selfie screen, and I love the photos. But if it’s not worth it in 2024, what is the alternative? It’s still cheaper than the x100t, x100f and x100v… what would you suggest

I have the X100V but the little X70 is incredibly stealthy and pretty much goes unnoticed on the streets. Just recently returned from hols in Morocco and don't think I would have gotten as many captures with the eye catching silver 100V, (stumbled across a new one at original selling price and whilst originally wanting in black didn't hesitate and jumped on it!)

I've been around when the first digital cameras started to appear. My first digital camera was an Olympus in 2002. Fast forward, the development has been amazing and there are improvements every year and camera generation. However, at some point in time, around 2010 ish plus, quality improvements became more and more marginal. In the right hands, any good camera, like the X70, can take fantastic pictures. I used my 5Dmk2 from 2011 till 2020 and it was from the first to the last picture an awesome picture machine.

I bought the X70 when it was new (can't remember which year it was) but never used it much. I wouldn't buy it again. Recently, I tried it again - and still think it's not for me. The 28mm just is way too wide for most subjects. Focusing doesn't work particularly well for me, The camera feels too tiny and has too little grip for my hands. I also still couldn't figure out how to get the grid being displayed on the screen, even though I switched on that option. I once bought it as a lightweight alternative for my Nikon D750, however I ended up with preferring the D750 with a lightweight 50mm very much over the X70.

picked a minty x70 up on FB marketplace about a year ago for $350. While I have (and love) a GRII digi, plus an x100s, and xpro2, I wanted the fuji colors in a smaller form factor. It's a cool little camera, but the AF has let me down quite a bit. So much so that I find myself throwing the GRII in my sling bag more often than not because I know that I can trust the results. With all of that being said, if you can pick one up cheap like I did, sure, go for it. Just manage your expectations and always remember that there's no such thing as the perfect camera - there's only the camera that's perfect for the task at hand.

This is the real hero camera from Fuji. Everyone wants the x100 but for most this is the better camera. Very small, still have all the same features as other Fujis from that generation plus the tilt screen. The price is high, but the camera is woth it if you are looking for that type of pocketable fixed lens camera.

The used prices for Fujifilm cameras are getting pretty out of hand. I am thrilled with the collection that I have, but it's gonna be a while before I add something new to it for sure.

There's a lot appealing about the x70. Form factor. Physical dial controls. That Fuji look. Flash. But the fact that I've seen used prices for it higher than new Ricoh GRs just feels absurd. It'd be fantastic if Fuji made an update, but these prices for a camera this old... I just couldn't do it.

Thank you for this video. I own a X70 and don’t use it very much. I don’t like the 28mm FOV. I take it with me for parades and protests. The focal length, for me, is too wide. I have to get closer to my subjects than I feel comfortable with. In addition, I have to be more aware of the periphery of the frame than normal. Don’t like the GRiii for the same reason. Plus no EVF. Is the X70 overpriced? Certainly. So is the X100V/VI. So is the XE3/4. Fuji cameras have been tiktoked. Old cameras have old technology. Duh. The question is do the images coming out of this camera justify the slower operation? Are you willing to spend the asking price? I am buying six year old Panasonic GX8/85/9 and very happy with them. At the end of the day that is the question. Are you satisfied with the cameras and lenses you own? If you can get a XPRO2 for the same price as the X70 I’d buy the XPRO all day long. Of course the XPRO is going to be more expensive than the X70 if you need to buy some glass. Also own the XE1. An old camera. Older than the X70. It has the 1st Fuji Xtrans sensor so many Fiji users love. A good. Slow. 16mp sensor. It does the job for me. Then again I am doing street and not sports photography. The right tool for the right job. I’m an old guy. I’m giving bodies that were too expensive for me several years ago another chance. Now that I’m old it isn’t such a bad thing. Especially considering the alternative. Beautiful golden hour light. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Good review, common sense to get an interchangeable lens body unless the X70 lens is THAT good. How is the lens anyway, the photos look sharp.

The hype around some of these older and much older DCs is unreal 😂. I sold a barely used Powershot “digicam” that I found laying around for $200 the other day. Five years ago I would not have been able to give it away for free.

It's crazy how all the smallest old Fuji cameras are selling for more than the old x-pro cameras. Hopefully Fuji gets the message and gives us some more small body cameras and pancake lenses.

Fuji is too busy raking in the cash from their Instax line to bother making new X mount cameras. Thats why they can't even produce the X100V. They make FAR more money from the Instax line, thats why they put out new models like every couple months.

I had one for 2 years. I loved the images but AF was its great weakness. Eventually it had to go to make my x-t5 possible.

I picked one up in 2020 and enjoy it a lot. The used prices have gotten crazy though. I could flip it for about twice what I paid for it. Once the x100v became a viral hit on social media and KZbin, demand for it and older x100 models went crazy. I just wish Fuji would make a new generation of the x70. They went in the different direction with the XF10 and it was a flop. And then they sort of abandoned this product space.

I agree that the current prices make it a poor value in 2024. It's actually going for above the 2016 launch price of $699, which is crazy for a 7-year-old camera! And I agree that the autofocus is the weakest part of the camera. I bought mine for around $429 in 2020 and I think that price was reasonable. The design and small size really is great. I disagree somewhat that the a XE is a good substitute. I have an XE-2 and even with the 27 mm pancake, it's substantially bigger.

$700 for a point and shoot? No way. While point and shoots can be fun and some have some extra features...it's really hard to beat your cell phone if you just want a point and shoot. You can get some really killer cameras for that kind of money. If you are into it cool, but way too much for me. Dig your videos. Maybe I'll see you out there one day.
