| emc0853's Full Review: FUJIFILM GA645Zi Rangefinder Camera |
I have been a professional wedding photographer for more then 30 years and have owned many types and brands of pro cameras. I purchased a Fuji GA645Zi about three years ago when they were first introduced and have found it to be the hands down BEST camera available for candid wedding shots. I still use two other cameras for special effects, background work and specific shots, but the Fuji is the principal camera I use on every wedding.
It's quick, accurate and produces a fine sellable image. For dancing candids it simply can not be matched by either of the other cameras I use. Granted, a major factor is my aging eyes and progressive myopia, I can still focus accurately in good light, but have difficulty in low light and now have found a tool that solves that problem.
On the downside, my unit developed a problem with the data display after about 6500 shots, I send it to Fuji and they fixed that problem, but inadvertently left off a piece when they returned it to me. That missing piece caused three 'dots' to appear on images in outside light. After three subsequent repair attempts - all resulting in the same light leak, they replaced the missing piece.
My experience was unique and even with that problem, I still think it's the finest camera for wedding candids.
