The camera thread.

I, too, have a X100v. It is nice.

I bought a used Fuji X10 for $200 a few years back and it's been a lot of fun.. basically a point & shoot but the pics can be astounding if I pay attention to what I'm doing. I originally wanted a X100 but the zoom lens has come in really handy at times.

Im using an a9ii for my primary but i think fuji stuff replicates the structure of film grain better as the gain goes up

Fujis make great jpgs in camera. I've never been able to get comfortable using those instead of raw+editing but the X series film profiles are great.

yeah i shoot raw with mine, and flip around between the profiles in lightroom at the start of editing. then typically i either increase contrast/vibrance, or ease it back, and go from there.

still love my OG X100 but I hear the Vs are wonderful

by the way, for anyone mystified by the letter designations, it's
X100
X100S econd
X100T hird
X100F ourth
X100V (fifth but F was taken)

Also using an OG X100, mostly when I’m out hillwalking, and think it’s great.

omg i finally understand the naming

Good luck with naming the sixth model, Fuji.

Agreed on Fuji profiles and JPGs. But I trust the metering on my Canons a bit more; the evaluative mode there is a bit better than Fuji’s centre-weighted average so I still err on the side of raw for post.

Well I said I ordered it, but I ended up canceling after realizing it was a gray market model. It seems to be out of stock everywhere, but still intend to buy one once they come in.

I just went through the same thing with the X100V (love it) and struck out on the usual/larger online retailers but found that if you looked for regional/local camera stores w/online presence (seemed mostly in NE for whatever reason) there were a few who had 'em stocked, YMMV

How long til phones get to full frame
Never?

Yeah physics, we know

The camera bump would be quite the thing

I’m just going to tape my phone to my x70

just imagine the entire back of your phone is the sensor

just an entire plane for finger smudges

Just watched a video on the rangefinder style medium format Fuji, looks so fun (if you've got $4500+lens laying around). Also has a crop mode to match the Hasselblad XPan I would have died for 20 years ago.

oooooh

I dream of medium format

Hired the Fuji GFX50S a few years ago for a (grey, wet) Easter weekend, with the 110/2.0 prime. It was pretty great, but a bit of a chunky beast. They seem to have streamlined the medium-format bodies.

My Bronica is still in the same place it's been for a couple of years, on a shelf. I really need to get back into it, with a drawer full of (expired) 120 film, but I say that every spring and... suddenly it's October.

Looks even bigger in his hand than that still photo lol

Lovely stuff. Maybe I'll shoot at 24mm FF and crop everything to 2.71:1 for a while :)

The GFX was my first ever experience with an EVF, and it kind of spoils you for other lesser models. Wandering around looking at the world with an Acros filter was nice.

Here's the (then) 13yo toting the big bugger around Fitzrovia...

Even has the tantalising dream of a L-grade pancake (optimus) prime on there.

Hilarious !

The light was fantastic today in London when the sun was out: everything crisp and clear, and trees and foliage drenched with light as if illuminated specifically for photographers. I took my EOS 5D out for the first time in quite a while, and the colours were fantastic. I particular like the way bright colours - such as red and orange - seem to almost pop out of photographs. For example a red and white polka dot blouse against a background of green foliage and a bright orange Vespa against grey brickwork. What a camera!

Let’s see some shots!
