The Fujifilm X70 was announced alongside the X-Pro2 and at the time, was somewhat overshadowed by the hype surrounding its highly anticipated cousin. However, its characteristics soon caught the eye of photographers who loved the concept of the X100 series but either a) found it too large and expensive, or b) preferred something wider than the 35mm field of view.

Most significantly, the X70 has:

• the same X-Trans II APS-C sensor found inside other second generation Fujifilm cameras
• a fixed 18.5mm (28mm equivalent) f/2.8 lens
• a tilting touchscreen, a first for a Fujifilm camera

The second point is probably the most relevant to me personally. I’ve never been a massive fan of the X100 series, not because I didn’t like the camera per se but because I never really got along with the focal length. Much of the time, I’d frame my composition, only to wish for something just a little wider. The X70 has solved that problem, and I now find myself shooting more with this little Fuji than I ever did with any other, barring perhaps the excellent X-T1………
