The X-A7 has a brilliant design, oodles of fun, advanced features and good overall quality, but it faces stiff competition from Sony's mirrorless cameras.

Retro design is handsome and handy, Advanced controls and modes, Beginner-level price, Large, bright, rotating touch screen, External mic jack, Punchy color and contrast, Fast autofocus, Bright, crisp images and videos in low light and at high ISO

No electronic viewfinder, On-screen menus quickly send you down a rabbit hole, Bright exposure in photos and video sometimes washes out color and detail, Feeble built-in flash

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

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 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

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

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

“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
