Fuji X100T vs Panasonic LX100

[Ap0ll0n]

For those of you in a dilemma, I just case across this:

http://www.mirrorlessons.com/2015/0...-x100t-compact-stylish-great-performance-ask/

They look so close to me that they might as well rename the LX100 as the Fuji X100Z - z for zoom. Now if Fuji did make one like the LX100 - basically the LX100 with slightly better colors and noise capabilities, I would replace my LX100 in an instance.

Its an interesting article, and I more or less agree with everything he says. Having said that, he doesn't spend enough time talking about the ineffable pleasure of shooting with the X100t.

I ended up with an lx100 and a gr. The gr does what the Fuji does, but fits in a pants pocket, and the lx100 does the things the Fuji or GR doesn't do, like zoom and video. As cool as the Fuji is, it didn't win for me in the end.

The choice should be in the size, video and color and what existing camera that one has already had, protable vs. mirrorless.

Me too ... there are some quirks around the LX100 e.g. border sharpness at wider apertures, but then there is 4K plus excellent manual focusing plus a 24-75/1.7-2.8 zoom ...

I would prefer am X100Z with an articulate LCD incl 4K - or for that matter - and X-E3 ... X-E3 plus the 16-55/2.8 as a high end model??

No?

Similar if Fuji came out with a collapsible 16-50 iii, the size if the 18mm and same quality and specs as the 16-50.. Wouldn't that be awesome ? Of course, no leaf shutter then but OK. And yeah, for the ultimate IQ, use the 16-55 or a prime.

I found the Fuji better on my recent travels but the LX100 not bad as such. Fund to use and small ... that thing in a Fuji package would be great me thinks.

I used to shoot tons of slide film with the original GR and I almost bought the GR for next to my X100T, but held off. I'm sure I will get it sometime again. The GR is amazing, but I still like shooting with the X100T more because it has dedicated buttons with numbers that I can see the settings of. With the original GR you could see the aperture on its dial (film was of course in the window and shutter speed I let fall where it went).

A huge advantage of the GR is that it is truly pocketable, and I do think that is more important than the dedicated dials, but if they ever do a redesign I would love if they keep it as small, but with dials that make me see what settings I'm at without the LCD on.

I'm heavily invested in my X-E2 and 4 Fuji lenses and I enjoy the dials. But my GR is simply faster to use, even with 1 hand. Almost every button/dial on the GR can be customized for most all functions.

I have ISO on the dial under my thumb, instant access/no pressing, I have predetermined snap focus set for full shutter press and standard AF with half press, 3 completely different camera configurations set in the custom slots on the function dial, and aperture on the front dial under my index finger.

I wish Fuji had the UI and degree of customization that the GR has. And the 18mm prime is one of the best there is. I love having this little gem in my pocket as my 18mm prime solution with no lens changing.

The LX-100 is a good camera. Originally I tried the FZ-1000 and I did not like the stills at all. However, the FZ-1000 has advantages over the LX-100 when it comes to video and external audio implementation. Maybe it is a 1" sensor in a super zoom being the issue.

The LX-100 needs a articulating screen and a mic input. I do like and use filters with the LX-100 (43mm)

The picture quality is very good with the LX-100 and video is good but hopefully the LX-200 will address that.

The LX-100 could fill in for the 16-55 if you want a second camera to do that. I have both LX-100 and 16-55 only because I sold my Sony RX 100 ii and needed a p&s. I did get the JB camera grip for the LX-100 which helps in the handling.

Best part is when I got my LX-100 B&H had a promo already the camera was $100 less and I got a $100 B&H gift card that I used to get the Fuji 16-55 mm 2.8 for $100 less.

As far as the X100s and X100T go I can speak for the X100s and while a good camera as is I wanted more because after a point a fixed lens gets stale and limits what you can do. Buying the conversion lenses are fine, but it is a slow process vs anything else. Not bad just different.

Agree.

But would be nice if Fuji made an X100Z ... no?
