Hi to all from Dubai,
I'm a Canuck (Canadian) who has been residing in Dubai for nearly 7 years, and have only been shooting with Fuji for only a couple months. I was actually really eager to use the x100T, so I rented one and had a blast with this little guy! I'm primarily a video shooter with a bit of video gear, but made the leap into Fuji Land a few weeks ago when I bought the XT-1. Haven't used it too much lately, but so far I'm really digging this camera with the 35mm lens. Up next on the gear list is the 16mm 1.4, and then perhaps the 56mm (I'm a prime guy). Been all over the inter web gaining as much info as I can about this camera and the Fuji experience.
Besides the XT-1, I currently have a Sony A7s which is a great camera, though I wanted a more tactile, old school shooting experience. Full frame is great, but the Sony menu is ridiculous and I'm not a big fan of their glass (prefer manual glass such as Voigtlander on the Sony). The XT-1 is similar in size, but it feels better in hand, and is just an overall more intuitive and enjoyable camera for stills. We won't get into video, as there's no comparison between the two for this purpose. Over the summer, I did a fun comparison between the x100T and my A7s prior to purchasing the XT-1 on my website (www.christopherfehr.com).
Glad to have found this forum and looking forward to learning from all you seasoned Fuji peeps! Cheers, Chris from the Sandpit
