Convince me I'm not an idiot before I spent 1700 Euros on this. I quit photography for several years and sold my gear and one of the biggest reasons was I hated that I had to specifically go out to shoot because I didn't want to lug around my camera and several lenses. Thinking about it a compact camera like this one would be perfect to carry around more often than not. Am I thinking correctly? I need to have an outsider point of view on this.
>>4397954Yes, you are fucking retard.Just stick to your phone.
>>4397954Its an awful camera with worse iq than micro four thirds and no weather sealing. Seriously. Just get any other semi-compact, a7c a6700 ricoh gr, om5 gx9, anything but a fuji
>>4397954I had an X100t for several years. It was a good companion to the various DSLRs I had at the time. I wouldn't have it as my only camera> I didn't want to lug around my camera and several lensesYou literally don't have to, just buy one versatile lens.
>>4397954real question you should ask yourself is why you want to return to this dying hobby. If it's just "it looks cool to carry a compact camera like this" then you're going to get buyer's regret very quickly. I assume it's not photography since if you liked taking photos you would've done so regardless of the camera, even with your phone.
>>4397982Iphones are photo ruining slopJeetdroids are social and sex life ruining insecure junk>inb4 use my blacklisted by every other app grapheneage OS and only socialize with fellow hackers at anthroconNah buying a ricoh griiix go fuck yourself
It's idiotic to pay 1700€ for something that's worth half that before the zoomer tax. They could sell them for 800$ and they would still get enough profits to justify the model. The rest is just pushing the price to the limit retards are willing to pay. If you have the money and it's not a financial burden go ahead and enjoy it, but you're not better than a millionaire that pays a small fortune for a banana taped to a wall.
>>4397954Go for it if you have the money spare, but it's foolish to expect a camera to totally revitalize your desire to take photos. I guess just be ready to keep going out to take pics even after the initial honeymoon period is over in ~3 months.
>>4397954Just get the X100 T or F and save a fortune. Or get a Leica M240 and a 35mm lens for not that much more money. It will be a lot more enjoyable to use.
>>4397954Just buy a compact camera with a decent zoom that is ACTUALLY pocketable, enjoy being able to ACTUALLY frame the way that you want instead of having a 35mm FOV for everything, find a phone app or some presets that give your JPEGs an ACTUALLY pleasant look, save $1500
>>4398116>the initial honeymoon period is over in ~3 months.I had this happen when I bought my 70D years ago and figured, oh, I guess photography is just a means to an end after all.Then about 6 months later I actually found myself wanting to go places IN ORDER to take photos. That kept going for a while until I was kind of sick of the bulk. Then a a year ago I got the R10 and the honeymoon period hasn't ended.I'm of the opinon that if the user is actually interested in the hobby, and the gear isnt a pain in the ass to use, it just stays enjoyable forever.
>>4397954You will hate that camera. The only people that like it are experienced winogrand imitators aka faggots that cant afford a leica and non-photographers. Get a ricoh gr instead. Even a leica Q is a better deal.
>>4397954If you're the kind of person that would be okay with spending that sort of money on a watch or a necklace, I see no reason why you shouldn't buy this camera. Like all of fujifilms models, it's a fashion accessory first and a camera second. The photos won't really look good, they're an afterthought. But you probably will look good using it. If that's what you're interested in, why not?
>>4398300>If you're the kind of person that would be okay with spending that sort of money on a watch or a necklace, I see no reason why you shouldn't buy this camera.I can.The kind of person that buys a $2000 necklace is going to be innately repulsed by an east asian knock off of german design. It's like buying a grand seiko that's pretending to be a rolex and proudly wearing a disgusting knockoff and a tribute to business and profits over creativity and soul. At least get a tudor ffs.Not so up to date leica models are still good cameras and are actually you know, real. Not fake. And they work with REAL leica lenses, not a shitty lens a japanese paper company probably designed for a disposable camera.The X100vi sits in that uncomfortable scam zone between disposable fun and entry level luxury where you find all the crap like seiko watches, apple products, and korean "luxury" cars.
>>4398305I can't tell if this is trolling or hating but I'm loving it either way.
>>4398305>that uncomfortable scam zone between disposable fun and entry level luxury where you find all the crap like seiko watches, apple products, and korean "luxury" cars.oh yes the scam zone where you stop getting any material benefit, only the expectation of admiration. and yet the admiration never materializespeople keep falling for it lol
>>4397954the good thing I've heard about these is that fuji is the only company with jpg presets that actually look good straight out of camera
>>4398381Absolutely correct. For all their faults, Fuji have done really well with generating beautiful jpegs sooc. Classic chrome and Proneg Hi are my favourite looks.
>>4397954You are on /pee/ so everyone is going to hate this camera here cause its full of autistic pixel peepers. The only /pee/-approved cameras are the ones like 5D MKii, D850 and K-1, dinosaurs that weight a ton.I own this and love it. But it is my secondary carry on and i probably would not buy it as my only cam. Images are pleasant to look at, i have set it up to shoot both jpeg and raw, just in case if i wont like the output of jpeg i can always tune it afterwards in lightroom. Also, with 40megapixels i have set the focus ring to do digital zoom, so it crops from 35mm to 50mm and 75mm with plenty of resolution.
