I’m considering buying a new camera for the first time in 15 years. I dabbled in photography when my children were young with a basic Canon DSLR, taking photos of them playing sport etc. but I certainly wouldn’t of considered myself a ‘photographer’ then or now. I would like to learn, and I am looking for a camera to use to travel with, photograph family and friends, streetscapes and landscapes. I hike and bikepack a lot and I want a camera that is light, compact and ready to shoot immediately that goes everywhere, without the fuss or clutter of extra lens’; and that will be used often. Is the X100 series a good camera to start with to learn photography (with a single lens) and for the purpose I would use it for?
