| Skank...You do some fine B/W work! I always admire it! A few X20 shots from our trip last week to the Dakotas. Kansas fields of wheat.  Sunflowers everywhere...miles and more miles of them!   Lakes and ponds all along the roads in N Dakota.   This gorgeous lake was at the end of the street in downtown Pierre S Dakota.  A little gull that came up to the window squeaking for a handout!  Great trip...should have taken more pictures than I did, but will try to do better next time!  Regards!  | |

Cross post of a flower I bought for Mrs Rupert......haven't done any flowers or macro shots recently. Gotta love Fuji colors...in particular the color of that new X-T1 in silver/black!  May just have to have one of those! Meanwhile, I still love my Toy Camera X20!  Regards! | |

I'd like to see an X100 with a 24-70 zoom that's on the order of the X10/X20. Otherwise, it looks like a very fine, tried and true camera. If I jump up, it will be the X-T1.....not that much difference in price and the lens selection is getting better all the time. Regards! | |

I love my X-Pro 1, the XT-1 hasn’t really tempted me to switch, prefer the layout of the X-Pro, look forward to what the future holds for Fuji. I would like a X100 but can’t warrant with with a X10 and X-Pro... Some more from London the other day.     Cheers, Steve | |

More very nice B/W shots...you do so well with those! Plain and simple, the X-T1 is a sexy looking machine and the layout of the controls appeals to basic instinct type shooters, no doubt. The new silver/black one is calling me...not sure how my response will be handled. There is no practical reason for me to own it....It's like some of those top of the line Pentax lenses I just sold.....had no more use for them. I need to think hard before wasting cash just to watch it gather dust as I go out every day with the X20 in hand?  Regards! | |

The extra specs would be nice, but it's too much to loose on my X-Pro for a few extra features, I think I will be waiting for a X-Pro 2 or even 3 before I upgrade, I am certainly happy with the X-Pro 1, 2 years old now AF is a tad slow but the colours and tones the sensor sucks in is great, the speeder XT might be better for your squirrels Rupert. Do treat yourself to the XF35mm F1.4, it's not the fastest to focus lens but it is sharp and it's hardly off my Fuji. 55-200 is also very good for the longer distant shots. Cheers, Steve | |

| Skank...I am still debating the new X-T1. While I do want it, I am not sure I need it at all....mostly I have converted to the Toy Cameras. My birthday is in November, so I will decide by then. I would want the 18-55 and 55-200...beyond that I can't see much I would need.....want yes, but not need. Being retired, getting older every day, and realizing that time is not on my side has led me to make some buying decisions that are not all that practical. Just because "you can" does not always justify a new purchase. I keep telling myself that, but something says "what the hell, go for it!". I was really counting on the X30 to light my fire......too bad it didn't! Anyhow...do I really need a high powered X-T1 when you guys post all those great shots here? Viewing your shots is most always more gratifying than viewing mine, so where is my gain?Regards! | |

Not thought about the Sony RX100 II/III or Canon G1X then? similar form factor with larger sensors 1” and 1.5” thigh not as nicely styled as the Fuji. It’s a shame they don’t do a X100 like camera with a zoom lens. Could always splash out on a Leica X Vario.... I’ve not tried the 18-55, (got the 18mm and 35mm) but I do have the 55-200 and it is a great lens.  Cheers, Steve | |

| Skank.....I read a very nice article a while back that compared, with examples, the Fuji 18-55 with some of the Fuji primes, and it actually outperformed a few of them, or was so close as to be indistinguishable. The 55-200 was not quite up to the prime level, but absolutely good enough to be very valuable. Nice shot there!...and at 200mm.....maybe its weakest point, but still excellent! I sure want to get into the Fuji X-T1 league, but just have trouble justifying it. If it sits on the shelf, and the X20 goes with me everywhere, what is my gain? Regards! Jac...I keep forgetting to mention the fine colors in those clouds! Lovely shot! | |

| Skank...Yes, that is one of the articles I have seen. The 18-55 is pretty amazing to be called a "kit lens", isn't it! With it and the 55-200, I think I could cover most of my needs...but you know how that is...lust almost always wins over need. My best bet is still just to view what you guys post and go about my business with the Toy Cameras! I have 570 shots in my X20 gallery https://www.flickr.com/photos/35763648@N05/sets/72157633101644164/ 610 in my X10 gallery.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/35763648@N05/sets/72157627982091489/ In that same time frame probably only a small % of shots have been made with my K5 and all those lenses.....which is living proof that the camera you have with you is the best camera of all! I still think the X10 is one of the best Toy Cameras around.....when you are going down the road and see something you like, it is ready to go! So is the X20, but I do believe the X10 does a better job with its EXR sensor. X10  I recall that day fondly...had just had coffee and conversation with this young lady at Starbucks in downtown Ft Worth...  But the best memory of the day was here.....I was so full of Hot Dogs I could hardly get out to shoot those cows in the far background!  Memories...aren't they wonderful! Toy Cameras can get them easily.....maybe not masterpieces, but good enough to view years later to stir the mind! Regards! | |
