Pros: simple layout, easy to use well, rangefinder works good. Cons: Expen$ive, makes buzzing noise when zooming
What do you get when you combine professional medium format camera and an autofocus zoom point and shoot? Some would say that you would call it the Fugi GA645Zi. This new addition to the Fugi line has to make them proud. This is probably one of the...
Pros: Simple to use; excellent manual; construction; vertical format Cons: Motor drive noise, advanced settings a little complicated
As a professional, I shoot both 35mm and medium format, depending upon subject, purpose, etc. Also own a Mamiya 645 manual focus. This Fuji has practically replaced my Mamiya completely.
Pros: Image quality, portability, user friendliness Cons: Wish it had a little longer telephoto lens
This camera represented my initial foray into the intimidating world of medium format photography. In retrospect, it could not have been a better choice. The camera is user-friendly almost to a fault. I can set the camera down for months at a time,...
There is an evil adage in the world of artists that goes “Those who can’t; take pictures”
Well thanks to the Fuji GA645 Zi, I have a new adage: “Those who can’t take pictures, use a FUJI GA645Zi”
Pros: The Ideal Travel Companion, Brings Sharpness & Detail lightweight Cons: Automatic ISO & 120/220 detection only works with Fuji-rolls
I'm a photographer for 34 years now, not for a living, but definitely a fanatic. I'm a captive fan of SLR 35mm, especially NIKON. I've several old NIKONS (1963 F and 2 1974 FT2) with 6 superb "A" type lenses. Besides that I own almost all of the ASAHI...
Pros: Titanium beauty, razor sharp lens, awesome results Cons: Can't use lens cap with hood, flimsy case
I have been taking photographs since I was 12 - now 45. Until I was 21 all my cameras were cheap or borrowed. Then I got the chance to buy a Canon F1 body second hand in mint condition. The sales guy told me it would last at least 30 years - and it has! ...
Pros: Well thought out design. Light weight. Good image quality. Vertical image great for wedding photography. Cons: Poor location for pc connection.
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 ...
Pros: Light wight, Easy to use, almost no paralax distortion Cons: none
I've just spent a week in Venice with this camera and found that it really fits the bill for a light-weight medium format travel camera.
The pictures that it turns out are great.
I've seen other reviews that harp on about lens flare but found this not to be a problem. Just following the normal rules cuts out the problem (use the lens hood\ shoot from shadow into light\ shoot with the sun on your back).
The Fuji GA 645 Zi is worthless by wupi ,Jan 07 '04
Pros: Has auto focus. Cons: Its lens glare is likely to ruin your assignment, if not your photography career.
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.
