Fujifilm XQ1 in the test

The Fujifilm XQ1 has a considerable size: A housing of 100 x 59 x 33 mm is not particularly small for a compact camera. However, if you consider that no 1 / 2.3 inch dwarf sensor does its job, but a significantly larger 2/3-inch sensor with 12 megapixel resolution, one must describe the Fujifilm XQ1 as surprisingly small Code>

Conclusion


The camera back is very clear. Four small buttons are flush with the camera surface for protection against unintended pressing. The powerful knurled control ring on the lens is of exquisite mechanical quality - absolutely free of play and allows precise adjustments. It is almost unnecessary to mention that the Fujifilm XQ1 can also communicate via WiFi.

The 3-inch display of the Fujifilm XQ1 has about 307,000 RGB pixels and goes accordingly crisp to the point. Even extreme viewing angles do not change color or brightness. In addition, the display brightness can be adjusted in ten steps, and the gradation is good for the Fujifilm XQ1.


For special bright light conditions in the open air, the "sun" setting is set in the display setup. It causes the display to become significantly lighter. So we would like a display.


The focal range of 25 to 100 mm (KB) is rather limited - nevertheless, it should be enough for most situations. The initial light intensity of 1.8 at wide angles is remarkable, but the longer focal lengths are reduced to 4.9 (with only 100 mm of KB).


The image quality of the Fujifilm XQ1 is good, but does not quite match the quality of sister models such as the Fujifilm XQ1. This is also due to the above-average sharpness drop and the distance to the corners. Approximately 870 LP / BH difference between center and corner at ISO 400 (1.870 vs. 1.003 LP / BH) are just too much. The particularly high center resolution can not hold the Fujifilm XQ1 to the edge. It can, however, be used in the autofocus with 0.19 s in the wide angle and 0.29 s in the telephoto


The Fujifilm XQ1 is a great compact that can do a lot and makes good pictures. Just the strong sharpness loss to the corners is a point of criticism - buying tip "compact."
