Fujifilm's late-era APS compact — 22mm Fujinon lens, infrared AF, full automation, CR2 power, Y2K pebble styling
The Nexia Q1 was a fixed-lens APS point-and-shoot made in China for Fujifilm, sold late in the Advanced Photo System era in a rounded, pebble-like body with finishes including silver, orange and purple. Camera-wiki reckons it to be among the last APS cameras introduced by a major brand.
It carries a 22mm Fujinon lens with active infrared autofocus, automatic exposure and motorised film advance, making it fully automatic despite its minimal control set. A reverse Galilean optical viewfinder handles framing, a small LCD on the back shows frame count, film status and battery state, and it supports the three APS print formats and the system's mid-roll film change. Power comes from a single CR2 lithium battery.
Its pocketable shape, wide-ish 22mm lens and complete automation made it a casual everyday and travel camera, and today it attracts fans of Y2K-era design as much as film shooters. There are no manual overrides of any kind, so it lives or dies by its automation.
APS film was discontinued in 2011, so shooting one means expired stock at rising prices and shrinking developing options — many examples now sell as display pieces or for parts. If you intend to use it, confirm it powers up on a fresh CR2 battery, the film door latches shut, the motor advances, and every LCD segment displays.
