Backup Z6 vs. Fujifilm street kit
Backup Z6 vs. Fujifilm street kit
Aug 16, 2022
Hi all, I've got a predicament. I am moving to a large city here soon, and I'm trying to figure out what the best option would be for having a street-shooting kit. On one hand, I could buy a backup Z6 to complement my current one and help expand my current Nikon setup. I would feel more comfortable having a camera that can be taken out without too much worry. I have some excellent Z lenses (including the 35mm 1.8) that could make for a great street kit. It would be nice to stay in the Z ecosystem and keep the full frame image quality. I could use a second Z6 in other situations where having two bodies would be advantageous as well. I do worry, however, that this would be a bit on the large side for a street setup, and may not be something that I would want to take with me wherever. That could be a pretty small worry though, as I love everything about my current Z6 and would be making very few sacrifices in having a backup. On the other hand, it could be nice to have a really small, portable Fujifilm kit for street shooting. I was thinking an X100 (most likely the F) or an X-T2 with a 23mm. I would love to have a setup like this that's inconspicuous and purely-street focused. The X100F would be great but not having weather sealing is not ideal. I shot on an X-T2 for two years so I am very familiar with how it shoots. My largest hesitation is spending money on a setup that doesn't add to my Nikon one. What are your thoughts? I know these are two completely different directions to move in but I think they each have their merits and negatives and I'd be curious to hear some insight.

The Sony a7CR is a high-resolution addition to the company's compact full-frame a7C series. So what did we make of it and where does it leave the a7 IV that it sits just above?
Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.

The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
