What Is So Special About Fujifilm Cameras?
Did you know that the Japanese-based Fujifilm brand has already been around for over 85 years? The brand, of course, is no stranger to producing photographic films as well as a wide range of cameras covering from digital to mirrorless, Instax and disposable series.
Below are the three unique aspects of Fujifilm cameras.
i) Ergonomics
- The design of Fujifilm cameras is both practical and functional.
- They are mostly ergonomically built to fit your hands comfortably regardless of shooting still photos or recording videos.
ii) Controls & Design
- Many Fujifilm cameras such as the X Series have external dials strategically placed within your hand or finger’s reach on the top side.
- Not to mention; the tactility of their camera dials makes them a joy to use.
- Additionally, Fujifilm’s camera retro designs are equally worth praising too, all of which look neat and stylish.
iii) Film Simulations
- Another unique feature about Fujifilm cameras (mainly the X Series) is the brand’s proprietary Fujifilm Film Simulations.
- It is their “colour profiles” that you can apply to your images regardless of in-camera use or during post-processing.
- They also have different film simulations to choose from such as PROVIA (Standard), Velvia (Vivid), ASTIA (Soft) and PRO Neg. Hi (for natural skin tone reproduction).
- What’s also unique is that since Fujifilm is one of the biggest polaroid camera producers in this day of age, the film simulations are also available for physical films as well.
