![]() Secondly, you can print directly from the X100T to Fujifilm's Instax Share Printer. The X100T has built-in WIFI, which is great for three things: first of all, you can send images to your phone to process them or put them online. And as I shoot RAW + JPG, I still record the full colour sensor data anyway! 8. In other words, having an EVF helps me with my composition. Finally, I love the fact that I can set up different aspect ratios or film simulations (I love Classic Chrome and Black + White) and that I can preview exactly how a specific aspect ratio or film look would work. Instead, I see the image I just created in my EVF, free from the glare of the sun. I also love the instant feedback and the fact that I no longer have to chimp. I'll do a separate blog post on the advantages of an EVF, but suffice to say for now that I like the fact that the EVF shows me the image that I will wind up with rather than the image I think I will wind up with. Well, in the case of the X100T, you actually still have one but as mentioned earlier, I only use it on specific occasions.įor the rest of the time, I happily use the EVF (Electronic ViewFinder) and I have grown so used to it that I actually miss having one on those rare instances when I still pick up a DSLR. When you first switch to mirrorless, one of the harder things to adjust to is no longer having an optical viewfinder. ![]() It's great for people with decision-making problems like myself! Well, with its fixed lens, the X100T makes your mind up for you. So you grab a camera body, a lens, another lens and before you know it, you need a sherpa to carry all the extras because you cannot make your mind up what to bring. You know that feeling when you go out the door for a family stroll or a quick bike ride and you want to take a camera with you, just in case. It's my favorite 'get out the door quickly' camera But the X100T's retro style, contrary to some of the what I would call 'faux-retro' cameras out there, is actually functional retro. Furthermore, you can add ISO to one of the function buttons so you can still easily set it without taking your eye from the viewfinder. Retro is hot, nowadays. Only the ISO has to be set from the camera's Quick Menu, although you can minimise the need to change it by using the camera's auto-ISO functionality. ![]() The X100T's got them all: an aperture ring (now also with 1/3 increments), a shutter speed dial and an exposure compensation dial. I don't understand why at some point camera makers stopped adding aperture rings to their lenses. As an avid fan of the E-M10 series and the X100 series, you can't really go wrong with either.ĭo you have suggestions for a similar setup to the X100V? Leave your ideas in the comments below.I love manual dial controls. The bottom line is that you can spend years waiting for an X100V to come back in stock, or you can pick up a similar setup, save money, and start shooting today. While Fujifilm certainly makes it easier, Holden has pushed, pulled, and painstakingly tweaked his way to making Olympus files look like Fujifilm files, and shares them in the video above. One of the things that Holden points out is that many folks love the color simulations offered by Fujifilm cameras, and while I've always been a fan of the "classic chrome" look from the X-trans sensors, Olympus has a set of art filters all its own that can create a variety of different looks. Simply put, I enjoyed the act of shooting Olympus and Fuji, even if they weren't necessarily technically superior cameras. Either of those two cameras brought me significantly more joy in shooting. The eye-detection autofocus, image quality, and overall capability of even something as silly and small as my Canon EOS M50 Mark II is leagues better than my E-M10 Mark II of X100T cameras were. I've been singing the praises of Olympus cameras for a while, and having owned both an X100 camera and an E-M10 camera, while they operate quite differently, both offer a sort of "analog" feel to shooting that's absent from everything in the lineups from the big three (Canon, Nikon, and Sony). And, even if you go with a newer model that I've linked above, it will still come in under the price of an X100V with more flexibility overall as an interchangeable lens camera. The premise of the X100 series, including the latest X100V, is a retro-looking, small, pocketable street camera that sports a fast-aperture 35-ish millimeter lens, and while photographer and YouTuber George Holden's suggestion of an Olympus E-M10 and Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.8 Lens doesn't have the neat party-trick of Fujifilm's switchable electronic/optical viewfinder, it certainly is small, pocketable, street-able, and definitely retro-looking.
