Fuji GA645Zi Rangefinder Camera

Pros: simple layout, easy to use well, rangefinder works good.

Cons: Expen$ive, makes buzzing noise when zooming

The Bottom Line: The bottom line here is that this camera is absolutely amazing. It's a breeze to use, and will make you wonder how you could ever use something else.

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: Great camera in the medium format line of equipment. Autofocus, onboard flash, electronic zoom, great manual, ease of use, vertical format, all make this one a no-brainer.

Review: 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.

I must mention that this is a vertical format...

Pros: Image quality, portability, user friendliness

Cons: Wish it had a little longer telephoto lens

Review: 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,...

Pros: Everything

Cons: lens cap buzzer

Review: 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”

I have an “eye” for photographs, and I...

Pros: The Ideal Travel Companion, Brings Sharpness & Detail lightweight

Cons: Automatic ISO & 120/220 detection only works with Fuji-rolls

The Bottom Line: The Fuji 645zi is the missing link between 35SLR weight and 6x45 sharpness for the right price !

Review: 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: Well thought out design. Light weight. Good image quality. Vertical image great for wedding photography.

Cons: Poor location for pc connection.

The Bottom Line: It should be the first camera you grab when you shoot wedding candids.

Review: 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: Great travel/portrait camera. Sharp Medium format photos. Compact & fully automatic.

Cons: Zoom lens only, Non TTL flash shoe, difficult manual focus.

The Bottom Line: Take truly professional grade photos without the cumbersome details associated with medium format. If your primary format is printing (albums and enlargements), this is your camera.

Review: I have shot 1000's of photos with this camera. It is small and compact enough not to be a nuisance o ...

Pros: Titanium beauty, razor sharp lens, awesome results

Cons: Can't use lens cap with hood, flimsy case

The Bottom Line: This is the easy way to get into medium format quality photography.

Review: 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: Rangefinder autofocus works excellently

Cons: Unlike SLRs, viewfinder always sharp; you take AF on faith

Review: FUJI GA645Zi: Great Camera; Dumb Name

Pros: Light wight, Easy to use, almost no paralax distortion

Cons: none

Review: 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 ...
