Coming from Olympus I wanted a little "More" in my photos. This thing takes really great photos and has exceeded expectations. I have Added X-T1 and 50-230 and 18-55 to collection very pleased not missing Olympus.

I got an X-T100 a few months ago as a backup to my X-T20. I have the X-T100 set up with an XF 27mm/protector filter, and I take the kit with me whenever I go out. The only other things I carry are a 4X ND filter, polarizer, spare battery, and an eye cup that mounts in the hot shoe. It all fits, with room to spare, in a Vanguard Havana 21 bag.

I don't tend to use continuous auto-focus, so the X-T100 works fine for me in most cases. While I have been capturing raw and jpeg, I might move to just jpeg images and force myself to learn more about using various film simulations.

I captured these yesterday while I was driving through Powhatan, Virginia.

It's great to hear some good news about the X-T100.

Mine was great, and made some excellent large prints too.

After I got a X-T3 I didn't use it much, wanted for it not to sit in a drawer, so I sold it.  Great camera!

And I was the lucky guy who got it, Tom took great care of me on it.  I have my Sigma 90 Macro mounted on it now and I love the manual focusing with it.  I also love to mount the Viltrox 85mm 1.8 on it.  I pretty much use the same settings Tom did on it.  I don't like the touch screen because my nose hits it and starts changing settings, lol.

I basically set it up like my old XE1 bodies, just simple stuff and it fits me perfect like that.

The problem I have now is that it is so good for manual focus with the red or yellow peeking my XE1 bodies don't have I am not getting the chance to use the Viltrox or my other AF zooms on it because the XE1 bodies aren't as nice in the MF department.

But I love it so far, Tom introduced me to the modern Fuji bodies, my XE1 bodies have about a third of the functions the XT100 has, maybe I'll learn to use more of them as I go.
