Hello,

I have just bought a Fuji X-t100, after comprehensively reading about it online. I am a hobbyst street photographer, with interest in portraits and doc-photography.

I had a Nikon D5300. Although it worked fine, I was a little bothered with its colours and its size. Since I strive for the candid shot, it didnt help the buldgy camera making me look like a creep spy lurking around.

I chose the xt100 for its size, price (am Brazilian, and the difference to a X-t20 would be around a thousand brazilian bucks [reais, ahem], which is considerable) colours and overall fuji quality. Also bought a fuji 35mm f2 to go with it.

My question is: having read about its slow AF, how slow is it exactly, comparing to the D5300? Although being into street-ph, I never feel the need to capture fast-moving objects such as moving cars, bikers, and such. I practice a more contemplative kind of photography, if I may say so.

So, in a nutshell: AF-wise, was it a step back?

Thank you all in advance for your contributions!

If you now have the camera you can see for yourself the af is excellent, don’t worry about what others say x-t100 is top class, it’s sensor is one of the best, at any price, enjoy 😊
