The Curious Little Fuji Camera Dominating Search

Since the invention of Google Trends, it has become increasingly easy to keep a track on what people are searching for. Over the months, we have seen decades-old models being searched for in the States and around the world, showcasing the varying interests in the photo community. This year, too, there are some new and old models that Americans can’t get enough of. Have a look.

Sony a7R III

The only full frame offering on the list, the a7R III, is quite an important camera today. For those on a strict budget, the model not only offers a 42MP sensor, but also a 399 phase-detection AF, 5-axis image stabilization, and a burst rate of 10fps. The camera is weather sealed, and one has access to third-party lenses if they need more options. It also offers a fantastic autofocus, it can track the subject in sufficient light and does well in low light as well. Given the sensor size, the images are colorful and detailed, too. As we also added, “The Sony a7r III RAW files are fantastic when it comes to high ISO output. I’ve made great 17×22 inch prints from the Sony a7r III at ISO 6400, and I can surely make something a bit smaller at say 8×10 with no troubles.”

Canon Powershot G7x

The Canon G7X is a popular camera amongst many young photographers. Introduced in 2014, the compact camera offers a 20MP 1-inch sensor, along with a 24 to 100mm lens. Ergonomically, it resembles that of an S series camera, it is small, pocketable and fun to use. Since the sensor is small, one can focus quickly, and it also delivers stunning image quality. In fact, the latter is the reason why many photographers are going after the camera today. As we added in our review, “The Canon G7x is a really nice camera for the person that just wants to shoot and not worry about any of the exposure settings.” So, if you are looking for a point and shoot, this one is for you.

Fujifilm XQ1

Fujifilm XQ1 was introduced in 2013 with a 12 MP APS-C sensor, along with a 25-100mm lens. It has a stylish silver body, is super sleek, and has all the controls at the back of the mode. Since we did not review the camera, we can’t comment on its performance. However, purely from specs and design perspective, the XQ1 is a device that is worth your time. Given the pop-up flash, build quality and film simulation mode, the camera is ideal for those who are looking for a nostalgic model.

Nikon F60

The Nikon F60, N60 in the States, is a 35mm camera introduced in 1988. The camera has an autofocus feature, along with a burst rate of 1.5fps, and various modes such as Program, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority. The demand for film cameras has catapulted this model back to people’s consciousness. It is cheap, and offers a true 35mm experience without being too technical. Moreover, it is compatibility with the Nikon F-mount lens ecosystem, making it easy for buyers to rely on vintage lenses.
