The Fuji Q1 is a very different camera with a strap that positions it more like a pendant on the end of a necklace and with its variety of colours its as much a 1990’s fashion accessory as it is a camera.\u00a0 Here is some marketing copy from Fuji that may explain their intentions.<\/p>\n

When you’re ready for some stylish fun on the move, the Nexia Q1 is the perfect choice. Wherever you go, the smooth, compact body makes the Q1 the ideal accessory for go-anywhere, point-and-shoot photo enjoyment. Don’t miss out on the good times, and be sure to capture them on film as they happen. With the high-styling Nexia Q1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking at the lens its hard to believe that it can cover an entire frame but it does, even the full 16.7mm x 30.2mm APS-H frame.\u00a0 As for autofocus it has it covering from 2ft to infinity but it may be a limited amount of\u00a0 zones and at what distance they are I am not sure.\u00a0 The lens is only 2 elements so there isn’t much correction going on and the aperture is f8 so its not letting much light in either. As for exposure its is actually a fixed value because the shutter speed is 1\/100 second.\u00a0 You have to rely instead on the exposure latitude of the film or the automatic flash to provide some extra lighting.\u00a0 It may seem quaint now in a world of smart phone cameras but Fuji took the always ready always with you camera as far as anyone ever did with the Q1.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
