I love my X100T, used its lots for behind-the-scenes and during tight takes on film sets. Put 32,000 shots on it. Then I got my X-Pro2. Haven't used the X100T since. Still think it's a fabulous camera, but work-wise the 24 meg chip and onboard processor are a whole different level, and most movie studios now expect a minimum 21 meg image for production/publicity stills. (It's a silly limit, I know.)

 

I still carry the X100T as a spare in my bag, but once the X-T2 comes out I will buy one and use it plus the X-Pro2 in my stills kit.

 

All that said, the X100T is one of the best cameras ever created, period. If you want to shoot street, it's hard to beat.

I just bought a fuji refurbished x100t. if you use the voucher code PAYPAL12 , you get a further 10% off, so you could pick up a fuji x100t with 12 month warranty for £609 (currently they are being sold at £679). I'm not sure how much the new replacement for the x100 will be or when it's coming out, but I didn't want to wait and felt it was worth it at this price. Still getting to grips with the camera but so far so good-it's definitely a step up from the x20, though annoyingly doesn't fit in the leather case if you use an adapter ring and filter

2 months ago I bought the x100t and at $1100 it a steal. I wanted to start shooting now and didn't want to wait on the new x200 which will surely cost more too, and may have a wider lens than the x100t.

When all the new Fuji cameras are out and firmware tweaks attended to, I may consider an upgrade, but it's not a priority. I would still hang on to the x100t for size and form factor. Sure, it would be nice to have the upgraded sensor and processor, but it won't make me a better photographer. Many photogs still using the original x100 with no plans to upgrade. The masters of the past shot great photos w/ lesser equipment. I'd buy the x100t. My2¢

I have an X100T and I love it, but I feel with the new f2 lenses that are on the way, it's hard to justify the price of the X100T. When mine breaks, I'll replace it with a X-Pro 2.

 

Now that there are viable options for high speed sync flash, the benefit of the leaf shutter is mostly gone... As is the silent shutter benefit, with the addition of electronic shutters.

      Display ISO will be chosen when auto iso is set

      By Cronin · Posted

      Found the simple answer to my own question. Having assigned Auto ISO to the rear dial, I only have to push in the dial to make the Auto ISO options appear, then turn the dial to choose. Nice and fast.

      Hello All, I am returning to photography after a decades-long hiatus that was prompted by my loss of access to a darkroom. Digital rendered that excuse moot, so I now return with a recently purchased XT5. I am from the Hudson River Valley in New York where I have spent the past five decades engaged in environmental work, mostly on the Hudson. I teach at Pace University where I direct the Gale Epstein Center for Technology, Policy and the Environment. My project ahead is documenting the unseen Hudson, a combination of the obscure, under-appreciated, and invisible - a street-style approach to people, places and things that make the river what it is. There will be little landscape, if any. The "Mighty Hudson" is well-documented. If nothing else, it will be a mission-driven project to bring me back to photography while learning my camera. I look forward to everything this amazing site can teach me. Cronin

      Fuji X-T4 AF-S and-C

      By IMX · Posted

      Hi,   I would really appreciate if someone could answer this question. Is it possible to have the X-T4 shoot in AF-S for photo mode and AF-C in video mode while the front lever is left at AF-S?  If so, how would this be done or wher in the menu system would I set this up? This is similare to setting the apeture at f/2.8 for photo mode but fioming at f/4 in video which I already have setup. Thanks and kind regards

      According to the manual you can assign auto ISO to any one of the function buttons but I've never tried it. (It's not something I frequently change so all my function buttons do other things.)

      By Cronin · Posted

      Hello, I have a new xt5 and have enjoyed its setup, until now. I hope someone with patience can help me through my ISO dilemma. My question: I have assigned settings for Auto ISO 1,2 and 3.  Should I be able to select Auto ISO 1, 2, or 3 for a shot? If so, how?  Or is the camera supposed to. At present, my screen shows Auto ISO 3, and never changes. I assigned ISO to the rear dial to no effect. Of course, when I half depress the shutter button is see the actual ISO in real time, but the function of the Auto ISO and how to control it has me confused. Thanks for any help.
