New Fujis impressions and some lenses
Tuesday, 24 August 1999 04:00 GMT
| From one of my "anonymous sources" comes
the following impressions on the new Fuji MX2900 and MX1500. And news
of add-on lenses for the MX2700 and MX2900.
Fuji will be distributing
complementary lenses for their cameras:
MX2700: a 1.5x Tele
which will transform the MX2700 into a 52mm fixed lens
MX2900: a wide angle
lens which transforms the camera into 28-84mm instead of the standard
35-105mm.
My sources impressions of
each (of the new) cameras:
MX2900:
A little bulky and not enough "SLR", the addition of
the wide angle lens makes the camera feel more like a "professional
tool", when the additional lens is attached it has a small
click which blocks the viewfnider so you can only use the LCD.
The control panels are easy to use and overall the camera is comfortable.
MX1500:
A very, very nice camera, very small comfortable camera (similar
dimensions to the Canon A5/A50) "will fit into your shirt
pocket".
