#2I was curious so I looked at the price, it's absurd.
$850, that price point is dead in the water to me. I may as well move up to other Fuji cameras that provide far more for not that much more money.
It's a "perfect family camera" if you don't consider the price...

It’s bad that in 2025, digital cameras do not ship with a way to automatically upload to Apple and Google’s photo libraries, for free, and clearing the local storage as images and videos get uploaded.

The price is crazy for the sensor size.

A camera that costs as much as a flagship smartphone shouldn't need a "setting expectations" section. Particularly when those expectations are "this is going to take worse pictures and be harder to use than your smartphone"...
It might be an okay intro-to-"real"-cameras device, since it's far less huge-and-clunky than an equivalently priced DSLR. But even there the tradeoffs don't look great.

#9According to this essay, the options for his kids are a $50 toy "camera" and an $850 niche camera possibly targeted at people who usually own the $2,000 line of the same brand. Surely there's something in between?
I can't help but wonder if this is a purchase for himself.
