# The original innovator # My first camera, high-end retro FUJIFILM Fuji X-T20 without anti-camera

I think it's been a little bit old since I first started to pay attention to Aunt Zhang’s aunt. In the past few years, Zhang Dam has killed me and she has helped me pull a lot of grass. I have almost developed a habit now. Whenever I want to buy something, I first need to habitually open the “what is worth buying” app, and look at whether there is any good price in the near future. We share what we have learned about single drying. Diving in the water for so many years, today I finally decided to write a copy of my own single-sales, please tell the official masters a lot of advice.

Reasons to purchase

So still start from scratch, first talk about why I want to buy a camera. In fact, I wanted to buy a camera a long time ago. It was only then that I never thought of buying a micro-single. I just wanted to buy a SLR. The reason is also very simple, because the SLR hangs on the neck and looks professional enough. However, in fact, there was not much interest in photography and they were surfed on the Internet. After learning about the models, they stopped. . .

When I was really determined to buy a camera, it was the time of the Chinese New Year this year. I borrowed a sony a6000 from my brother-in-law. This was actually the first time I touched a micro-camera. After playing for a few days, I was thoroughly inspired by me. Interest, but also let the micro-single into my sight.

After deciding to buy the camera, I did hesitate for a while between the micro-single and the SLR, and I believe that in this problem, the tangled person is not just me. After reading the opinions of everyone on this issue after knowing and sticking with it, I generally summed up the incommensurability and respective advantages and disadvantages of micro-single and SLR. First of all, the biggest difference between the two is that the SLR is more than a single pentaprism. In a SLR camera, this pentaprism is used to reflect the lens image into the camera viewfinder to achieve optical viewfinder. Effect. On the other hand, the micro-camera uses the photosensitive element in the camera directly for electronic viewing. It is because of this difference that the micro-camera can obtain a more compact body and exquisite appearance than the SLR camera. However, due to the smaller body and electronic viewfinder, it also makes the life of the micro-camera the most deadly short board.

(The following figure shows the working principle of the SLR and micro-single viewfinder, respectively)

In general, SLR cameras have greater operability and good endurance. The disadvantages are also obvious: its size and weight. Micro single has a high value and good portability, the disadvantage is the endurance ability, the type of lens may not be so rich in SLR (this is what I guess, in fact, I am a photographic white, I do not really understand). However, there is one thing that cannot be doubted because of its small size.

Having said so much, I just wanted to introduce my heart-thinking journey when I bought a camera. Several cameras that were initially considered by me were the Nikon D7200, the Sony a7, the a6300, and the Fuji X-T20 I selected.

Nikon D7200 SLR kit (AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR) 6999 yuan Jingdong direct link

Let me talk about the only SLR camera in the list. This mid-positioned SLR is satisfied with the parameter configuration, word-of-mouth and price. But after thinking about it, I still pass it to the pass. . The reason is that I pay more attention to the portability of the camera. Don't give me too much burden when I go out to play with it, instead of buying it and putting it to eat.

Sony (SONY) ILCE-7K full-frame micro-single-mirror standard kit (24,300 effective pixels 28-70mm lens F3.5-5.6 a7K/α7K) 7599 yuan Jingdong direct link

Followed by Sony's A7, I once thought that this is a relatively high cost of a machine, and less than the price of 8,000 can experience the full-frame enjoyment, and later learned to know about this machine, found that a7 is not me Imagination is so perfect. Although the a7 is Sony's first camera to put full-frame CMOS into micro-single, but a7 as the first generation of full-frame micro-single still has some unsatisfactory places, and the most popular thing to say is its green hat phenomenon. Although I actually do not know exactly what the Green Hat phenomenon is in the end, how can I accept such a big flaw as a perfectionism? ! Well, I tell the truth. The main reason why I did not choose a7 is because I am a photographer. The size of the frame size does not seem to mean much to me. My principle is enough.

Next, we left the a6300 and the X-T20.

Sony (SONY) ILCE-6300L/a6300 Micro single digital camera Sony A 6300 (E16-50mm) Lens Kit 6499 yuan Jingdong direct link Fuji (FUJIFILM) X-T20 (XC 16-50II) Micro single electric kit silver 24.3 million pixels XT20 Folding touch screen 4K6790 yuan Jingdong direct link

The prices of the two cameras are not much different, and they are both APS-C format and 24.3 million pixels. The biggest strengths of Sony Dafa are the extremely fast focusing speed and its predictive focus function, as well as the 120 fps electronic viewfinder.

In fact, in terms of parameters, the a6300 is indeed a good choice. But when I saw the Fuji X-T20, I was fascinated by its silver-black retro style and a few mechanical knobs on the top of the fuselage. I just fell directly under its lens. Moreover, xt20 was only launched in February this year. As the saying goes, electronic products do not buy new ones, and xt20 parameters are also good, and Yan! value! burst! table! Is this optional? What about Sony Dafa?

Appearance Gallery

Jingdong’s younger brother is still as fast as he always did. He placed an order the night before and received a call from his younger brother the next morning. The mood was tense and exciting. After I got the courier, I couldn't wait to open the parcel. Apart from today's protagonist (the biggest box on the left), there were also several accessories donated by the e-commerce company: one original Fuji case, one wristband, and one 16GB memory card.

The camera box is tightly wrapped in a plastic package with Jingdong logo. The surface of the box is not covered by depressions. The cargo transportation process is still relatively safe.

The side of the box is printed with the serial number of the camera, production date, etc.

Open the outermost plastic film and seals on both sides, two white boxes lying quietly inside. A box with an X-shaped cutout slightly larger is contained inside the fuselage. Then the question is, what's in the other box? No fault, that is the 16-50mm dog head lens

Open the first box, which contains a thick manual, a warranty card, battery, charger and cord, shoulder strap and shoulder strap gadgets, and most important body

Another box is the lens, shading cover, and two warranties

Front view, the upper left corner is a front wheel, you can use it to adjust the aperture, you can also change the scene mode in automatic mode. The black knob in the lower right corner is used to select the focus mode, there are manual focus (M), auto focus (C), continuous focus (S)

Then there is the backside view, and the round viewfinder is what I think is a failure of this camera. It looks a bit uncoordinated. In addition, there is an eye sensor below the viewfinder. I don't know if it is a sensor location problem or a sensitivity problem. Sometimes my hand swipes in front of it and the LCD display goes out (by default I'm using it now. viewfinder). There is to say that this LCD display is a touch screen, you can click the screen to select the focus, you can also click on the screen to take pictures. When viewing photos, you can swipe to view the next photo, or you can zoom in and zoom out with your finger.

In my opinion, the top is the biggest highlight of the X-T20. There are three large dials on the top that are mechanical. However, I think that either the switch or the lever is installed too tightly. It is not even possible to use one finger to dial with one hand, but to twist with two fingers. This is a small detail that I am not satisfied with.

Like the a6300, the X-T20's screen can be flipped at multiple angles, but it cannot be flipped 180 degrees.

experience feelings

The whole workmanship is fairly good, the upper part of the silver part has a strong sense of metal, the lower part of the fuselage is very faux leather parts feel good, all-metal body let the whole camera in the hands of heavy feeling very texture.

Although this camera was only one day long, it felt very convenient to use both the front and rear wheels of this machine.

The top few wheels add to the camera's playability. When I just got the camera, I couldn't help but twist the knobs. In addition, the optional drive modes of this camera are also a highlight.

However, the X-T20 is not perfect, because of the size of the body, the camera's handle is very small, when carrying the camera, I feel very uncomfortable right hand, feeling empty. The grip feel is definitely worse than the Sony a6300. This point, think big or can not accept it.

to sum up

Regardless of the specific camera performance of this camera, the X-T20 is definitely a high-value camera. Its retro appearance can definitely capture the hearts of young artists. Although it does not seem to be as professional as a SLR camera and its endurance is not strong, I think that buying such a micro order is enough to open the door to the road to photography. What's more, this camera still looks cool.

If you are also like me, want to buy a camera to contact photography and can accept its small handle, I think Fuji X-T20 is a good choice
