  1. Photography was the major factor that made me finally get over my dislike of things touching my eyeball and to try contacts. I am a much happier shooter now that I don't have to worry about the glasses getting in the way or cleaning them constantly. That being said, save your money if you are wearing glasses.
  2. I skipped the UHS-2 and agree with lysander on the SanDisk which has served me well. I just ordered a 128GB one to replace the 32GB I have been using.
  3. I agree with milandro, there will always be something new around the corner. If you feel you can wait 6 months or longer (delays happen), go ahead and wait. Personally, I went for it last month when the right deal popped up here on Fuji Rumors. I didn't see anything life altering to me in the rumored specs anyway. Life is too short.
  4. Thanks for the feedback. I neglected to update this thread since it was older but I also jumped on an X-T1 and 18-135 combo deal last month. Much like you I am enjoying the new setup without any regrets. I just ordered a me 128gb card which should solve most of my anxiety about the lack of dual card slots.

  7. Congrats on the new purchase. I recently converted back to Fuji after years using Nikon. I was leaning towards the X-T10 but jumped at Amazon't black Friday deal on the X-T1 18-135mm combo. I'm still learning the system but here is one I took the other day while messing around.
  8. I had been eyeing the X-T10 combined with the XF18-135 for a while now. I liked how it was almost the same as the X-T1 but at a lower price point. Once I saw the deal on the X-T1 + XF18-135 combo though, all debate went out the window as the price difference was erased by the extra $200 credit with Amazon. It is so exciting to get back into the Fuji camp. Anyone else jump on this deal here?
  9. More great feedback, from everyone. Cug's experience while concerning can happen with any product. There are bound to be some issues on a few of them (5% for Fuji and most other camera brands according to Consumer Reports). Thanks for sharing the video Jurgen, it really helped to see the camera in a real world situation.
  10. How many times have you had the camera in the service shop and how long have you owned it cug?
  11. Great point about pricing differences affecting comparisons. I would of course be more than happy with a megabucks system but I just cannot justify it as my activity decreases. I can deal with a few blurry action shots as long as I can get some good ones as well. Even the D7100 with 18-300 or 18-200 lens has produced a fair amount of motion blur shots for me. I thought it was a camera issue as it seemed worse than my D3100 at action but Nikon swears it is performing fine. Unless the X-T10 has a major problem tracking flying birds at the beach or shooting from a moving vehicle on vacation I should be ok.
  12. Thank you both for the feedback and great sample photo. I don't travel as much with the camera but if I ever make it back to Alaska I will still be talking photos from moving vehicles. The Finepix e900 did fine with that back in 2007 so I don't think the X-T10 should have any issue with it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/136765796@N07/21860699158/ I also don't shoot sports as much anymore as we only have one child left in high school but I would be interested in hearing why Fuji isn't good at sports. I can deal with lower number of burst shots per second but motion blur could be concerning as that is a huge problem I have had with the d7100 18-300 or 18-200 combos. I am pretty sure I can deal with the shorter range of the 18-135 but might also consider adding the 18-55 for certain situations. I do occasionally crop a photo but for the most part I stick with my original shot and only fine tune minor things like contrast later.

    Misc

  14. I have been a Nikon user since around 2007 when I moved to a DSLR. Before that I had experience with Fuji cameras (FinePix E900) and loved the pictures I took with it. Over the years I went through some experimenting with camera and lens combinations before my current setup, the Nikon D7100 and 18-300 lens. I used to travel a lot and took pictures like crazy from trains, buses, helicopters as well as during walks. I don't have time or patience to keep switching lenses and the 18-300 has been good for the most part even though the images are a little soft. I also despise tripods or posing people and prefer to shoot in the moment. Anyway enough about my history and preferences, lets get to the point. I have been investigating moving into mirrorless and considering options outside of Nikon which brought me to looking over the Sony range and of course returning to Fuji. The Sony a7 II has a nice feel to it and specs but is way too expensive for my tastes and I'm not much of a Sony fan as I had bad experiences with their cameras in the past (pre-Fuji). The Fuji X-T10 seems like reasonably priced system and I have been enjoying the photos I have seen taken with it. Of course any such move to a new camera brings in the concerns so I thought, who would have better information than this group. Any Nikon converts want to share their experience? I am also open to taking advice on lenses since there doesn't seem to an 18-300 equivalent for the Fuji. Thanks in advance.
