The Fujifilm X-A7 gives pretty much everything you could want from an entry-level mirrorless camera. There's a 24mp APS-C CMOS sensor, 4K video recording, and usefully a large 3.5inch vari-angle touch-screen.

Large 3.5inch touch-screen; Great Fujifilm colour; Two control dials on the top; 4K UHD video recording; Face; eye detection focus; X-Series lenses

Plastic construction has some rough edges; Power zoom lens isn't great for video; No dedicated Q button

The X-A7 has some pretty impressive specs for an entry-level camera, and has the performance to match, with a significant improvement to the camera’s autofocus performance over its predecessor.

Superb autofocus performance; Excellent image quality; Large; high-res LCD display; Sleek and stylish design

Clunky touch interface; No built-in stabilization; No viewfinder

The Fujifilm X-A7 advances on the Fujifilm X-A5, but is it the best entry point into the X-series for beginners?

“You'll check out the X-A7 for its large touchscreen, but stay for its classic design.”

Great design; Large; high-res touchscreen; Much improved autofocus; Sturdy controls; 4K/30p and 24p video

Touch interface needs work; No internal stabilization

Our lab results tell one story, but our pictures taken in the field tell a rather different one. We were very impressed with the images that we got with this camera - shooting in a range of lighting conditions on the streets of Florence.

Great quality images; Good camera for vlogging; Full 4K video; Good LCD screen

No eyelevel viewfinder; Awkward to use; Unimpressive kit lens

The Fujifilm X-A7 is perfect for those who are interested in photography, want to do more than what they can with the smartphone, but d...

The Fujifilm X-A7 got to us not too long ago, and we were playing with a pre-production unit. It seems like a reliable camera, but not one that many photographers would purchase. If you’re a content creator or hobbyist, I totally see it being versatile enough for you.

The Fujifilm X-A7 clearly has its strengths, and is squarely aimed at beginners and vloggers; but, the end result makes it a tricky one to recommend.

The Fujifilm X-A7 has a big, swing-out screen, excellent color options, and capable autofocus—but no electronic viewfinder.

Light and compact; Swing-out touch LCD; Terrific in-camera color options; Raw imaging available; Good starter zoom; Big lens catalog; Image transfer to smartphone; USB webcam support; 4K video with mic input

Omits electronic viewfinder; No body-only purchase option; Sensor isn't stabilized; Small buffer limits burst capture; Wi-Fi transfer can be slow; So-so battery life

The X-A7 maybe Fujifilm’s most entry-level camera but it still looks good and has nice build quality. Rather than the tradition exposure controls found on Fujifilm cameras like the X-T3, X-T30 and X-Pro3, the X-A7 has a mode dial on its top-plate and dual adjustment dials.

Good build quality for the price; Excellent image quality and attractive colours; Vari-angle touchscreen

No viewfinder; Kit lens power zoom isn't very responsive; No dedicated Quick menu button
