When it is time to choose a camera to buy, an initial mixture of illusion occurs with rapid disappointment and anguish. Why? Because the offer is almost infinite, because there are so many brands and models that are exhausting, because we want someone to tell us which is the best camera at the best price and that does not exist. We would like someone to tell us to buy this camera, go for it and be happy for life. However, this does not work like this. Moreover, it is more similar to finding a partner than one imagines. Well, just as there is no perfect match that fits everyone, there is no perfect camera for everyone who loves photography. There is an ideal partner for each person as there is an ideal camera for each photography lover. Once we have this clear is when we can start looking for our travel companion and photographic life, when we know what we are looking for. Well, you manage to reduce supply and head warming. From the blog we want to facilitate the task of the search and that is why we present you in a simple and direct way many of the cameras on the market. Today we bring you one that, like any other, is not for all audiences but it does have a clear recipient. This is the Fujifilm X70, a compact that, as I advance in the title allows you to manually control certain parameters. Do you want to know if this camera is for you? Keep reading

ADVANTAGE
Includes customizable buttons for your favorite settings. It turns on in 0.5 seconds, so it is always ready for sudden scenes that happen, for example, on the street. You can enlarge the photo with your fingers and as it does not allow deleting with the touch option, your photos are more secure Its image quality is spectacular to be a compact.DRAWBACKS
It does not include a viewfinder , although it offers the possibility of an optional optical viewfinder that fits into the flash shoe. Now, this viewfinder is of little use because it is not connected to the camera so you can neither focus, nor measure the light or check the parameters of the shot. It is hard to get to the shutter time adjustment wheel. And, perhaps most importantly, the inability to change objectives. If it is what you are looking for, it is great, but if it is not the case, it is a camera of too high price for a single focal .GALLERY
You will be with me in that one of the most important aspects when buying a camera are the photos it does, right? Or, rather, the photos that can be taken with it, since it is not the camera that makes them, but the person who shoots Here is a sample of what they have achieved with it.CONCLUSIONS
It is a very small camera with a fairly large sensor that offers great image quality and allows you to control different parameters manually. Although its price is somewhat high to close at a single focal length, it is a camera to always carry with you and get excellent results. Now it's your turn to decide if this camera is for you or not. In the meantime, I would be grateful if you would share this article so that your contacts can meet her and also make her own decision .
