| wupi's Full Review: FUJIFILM GA645Zi Rangefinder Camera |
Buyer beware!
The Fuji GA 645 Zi is a camera that is determined to ruin your assignment and, if it gets its way, your photography career.
You must test shoot ALL that might happen at the assignment at home before you go there, or the lens glare will spoil your lunch. In my 12 years photography experience, I have never used a camera that's worse. Even the Pentax K1000 (cost $100) does a better job.
The camera came with a hood, so that's a hint. But the hood is so poorly designed that the lens cap can't be put on when the hood is installed. You have to remove the hood to put on the cap and the hood is likely to get lost somewhere. Another stupid Fuji way of designing things.
The zoom lens is not a true zoom lens that your normally expect. It's a three stage zoom lens. So if those three aren't what you wanted, you are out of luck. (sucker)
Fuji should have stuck to what it's good at, doing film, and leave the camera design to the professionals.
