This is the best camera I ever had. It's small enough to carry around all day yet packs an IQ punch to behold.

Loaded with handy features yet easy to use, it has a really nice EVF (and I used to really hate those). Loads of customisable j-peg settings and 7 custom recall settings. My only complaint is that which custom setting you use becomes the new base, you can't go back to straight-out-of-the-box standard colours without setting that as another custom set. Not a deal breaker but the only flaw I can think of.

It has a nice rubbery grip which is nice to hold for my big hands, a decent pop-up flash and even a threaded shutter release for us old timers, but I have the electronic one and that's easier to plug in.

Focusing is fast enough in any situation and has plenty of neat options. Face detect works well enough to leave switched on all the time.

Purchased to augment my X-A2 when used with long lenses it has replaced it completely due to its superior image quality, which is the same as in the X-t1 and X-e2.

You hear a lot of crap about processing X-trans files in Lightroom but its all nonsense. You even have access to a full set of the Fuji j-peg colour settings from the camera.

All in all an excellent camera and I expect not to feel the need to replace it for a long time yet. Might treat myself to some nice XF lenses though.
 
I couldn't agree more....in fact, since I picked up a X-T10, the X-T1 has actually been staying home a lot more when I'm using any but the biggest lenses.

Now, I will say that a friend added Sugru on the 4 controller rubbers, so I don't even need to take the camera from my face to change things.....and I found addling a RRS L bracket gave the body just enough heft to provide a really good balance with the 60mm and 90mm lenses.

Also, batteries are lasting a bit longer than I anticipated.....I was expecting about 300 shots per battery, I've been routinely shooting 420 or so (and swapping out before battery is completely dead). Very pleased by that.

Nice photo's and thanks for replying - I didn't know it would be a forum thing even!

I only have the two XC zooms, would love to try some primes or the XF zooms as the 50-230 is very slow. I only got the X-A2 to go cycling with but like the Fuji's so much I can see me investing once I've made my mind up which ones to get.

Having a high quality camera I can have round my neck all day without noticing is real technological progress I think.

That's a good idea, it's a bit of a fiddle with the buttons but I'm not sure if I'd stick anything to it!

I've only got the 16-50mm and 50-230 lenses and they balance well but I'd love a fast prime, if I can achieve the set up I like without compromising the idea of a carry-all-day compact replacement I'll be very happy.

I was worried as that was one of the supposed niggles with mirrorless cameras but I've not noticed it. just carry a spare and I'm good for a hard days wandering about shooting.
Nice photo's! Not really tried mine with people yet but hope to when the wedding/festival season starts.

This is what I get up to with mine:

I just bought one. Funky little camera, and I already like it a lot. This my first Fuji ILC, so I have a lot to learn.

If you don't mind me asking, did you get it with a kit lens? And if so was it the 16-50 or the 18-55?

I ask because I use the 16-50 I got with an X-A2 and it seems like a plenty good enough lens but the 18-55 is rated as being superior due to being sharper and with better contrast, not to mention a stop faster and better made.

I would trade up as I like good IQ but for the fact that the 16-50 gets much closer, this wouldn't be a good trade off if the IQ is near enough the same.

So, does your kit lens (if you have one) perform in the same ball park as your X100?
 
Sorry, but I can't help you. I have no interest whatever in zooms (except for telephoto and that's a job for my DSLR), so I've paired my little X-T10 with a secondhand 35mm f/1.4. The combo seems to be working really well--reminds me of shooting a small compact film SLR with a big full sized fast fifty. Which is sort of what it is.

No worries, I was just hoping for an opinion to save me wasting money. I'm after the 10-25 first anyway....

What freedom with lenses we have compared to when all we had was the SLR and 50mm!
 
Including the freedom to go right back to that experience!
 
The important thing to keep in mind is that there is nothing sacred or magical about the kit zoom. Get one of you want one, or maybe if you are a pure beginner and you have no idea where you want to go in photography. But if you have established interests and know what lens you want most, why not just start with that?

Oh I did, but I was wondering if the IQ of other one was worth it's shortcomings with what I like to photograph.

If the X-T2 looks like a keeper then I'd start again and get all serious but the lightweight of the cheaper kit zoom keeps it as a first choice for a carry-around all day camera like the X-T10.
