The Fujifilm X70 has quietly become one of those cameras people get oddly attached to. It’s small, simple, and genuinely fun to use, and that matters more than most spec sheets will admit. In this video I look back at the X70 now that it’s eight years old, chat about what made it special, and share 100 photographs shot with it.

The photos are the main point here. I’m not trying to “review” the X70 in a modern YouTube sense, because anyone can read the spec list. What’s more interesting is what it was like to live with, why it suited street and everyday photography so well, and why it still has a bit of a cult following.

And yes, I do a bit of gentle daydreaming about an X80. Not because we need another camera for the sake of it, but because the X70 hit a sweet spot that Fujifilm hasn’t really replaced in the same way since. If you’ve owned an X70, wanted one, or you just like the idea of a genuinely pocketable Fuji with a proper shooting experience, you’ll probably enjoy this one.
