Re: Should I change my new XT100 for the new XF10?

Thanks for your advice, guys, even tho mostly negative. Now you've put me between a rock and a hard place. '

However, my inclination is to give the XF10 a try, as I just handled it in store and it felt really good. I feel it is what I need as I'm looking to downsize and want to feel comfortable with a camera where I don't have to change lenses, but still has plenty of new up to date features, but won't break the bank. I have tried the XT100 with my fav lenses, the 35/1.4 and the 60, and it still didn't feel as comfortable as with the XT10, so will keep that as my primary camera. The negative aspects of the XF10 camera don't deter me in any way. I know that I should probably wait for the X80, but who knows when, if ever that will come out. Also, not sure why all the negativity re the XF10. And we all can't afford the XH1 or the XT3.

Sure, there are some negative points, but in my estimation a lot of positives as well, particularly for my type of photography and the stage I'm at. I've had my run for many years with high quality Nikons, and some very good Fujis, but now just want to slow down and feel relaxed with my photography. The XT100 just wasn't doing that for me, and the XT10 is. So why not jump into the unknown, have a little fun and try something new, and which won't cause the barn to burn down if it doesn't work out. Will keep you informed and post my results in DPR.
