Fujifilm XP90 Landscape Photography Detailed Analysis

28 mm - Good Wide Angle Coverage

Even though there are very good examples of landscapes photos taken with tele lenses, most of the landscape photos are taken with wide angle lenses.

Environmental Sealings

Landscape photographs are taken outdoors and you should be prepared for all kind of weather conditions.

Average Resolution Sensor: 16.0MP

Fujifilm XP90's 16.0MP resolution is not ideal for landscape photography but you can still achieve large prints with good framing and technique.

No Manual Exposure Mode

A correct exposure of a landscape shot is very important. Even though modern digital cameras features advanced algorithms to calculate the right exposure, they still may fail some difficult conditions. Lack of manual exposure mode in these conditions means lot of shadow and highlight clipping.

No Manual Focus Mode

Manual focus in landscape photography is very useful in order to have a sharp image and minimize the areas that are out of focus. Autofocus may not consistently give you the best results.

No RAW shooting capability

RAW files contains much more color information compared to JPEGs, and gives you more room for post processing without significant quality loss. They provide wider dynamic range and option to recover shadow and highlight clipping to some degree.

Small 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor

Fujifilm XP90's small sensor struggles in low light situations compared to larger sensors.
