Hello everyone!
 
So a little bit about my background and my jump to Fuji-
 
I've always been into art and took pictures when I was a kid, but didn't really get into photography until about 3-4 years ago. I've been a working photographer for about 2 of those years. I do portraiture, some events, and am wanting to get into some street shooting.
 
I just began my foray into the wonderful world of Fuji a little over a week ago. I traded in my Nikon d7100 (including battery grip, an 85mm 1.8, and the 18-200 kit lens) for an X-T10 with the 18-55 kit lens. I debated on making the switch for over a year. I had the usual concerns: Was the image quality really there? What about the autofocus system, what if I start missing shots? Low light performance? Mind you, this is even with guys like Zack Arias, David Hobby, and Bill Fortney exclaiming how "amazing these little cameras are". Two of those guys made their living off of Nikon for 20-30 something years. Guess I'm hard headed :-) But I finally made the jump.
 
This. These cameras. Wow. I photographed an event for a local mission here in Indianapolis 2 days after getting this camera. I did outdoors, and an indoor shoot with (by camera standards) virtually no light except what was on stage. This camera handled everything I threw at it and did it better than my d7100. Hand-held shots at 1/4 second that are tack sharp. 6400 ISO shots that have some noise but it's still crisp and very usable.
 
Street shooting was something that I didn't really view as an option because my d7100 was so bulky and noticeable. It seemed like work more than shooting for fun and after all that's why we all got into photography because it's fun to take pictures! And the toys are really cool :-p With my x-t10, I can't wait to get out and shoot!
 
Thanks for the read, take tylenol for any headaches and drink plenty of water...
