Some days I think all I really need (in so far as that word is appropriate to any of this) is the 50R and the GR IIIx. Maybe the gap in the middle—where the X-Pro, X100, X-E and 100RF sit—really is no man’s land for me. Maybe I’d be best off ditching all of it, despite the paradox that it’s what I use the most.
Agreed! Had not thought much about weight distribution, but that is a key aspect.The weight distribution is as important as size. I'd put lens stick out and weight distribution over the overall size, this two is the most important factor. And in this term GFX100RF, CL and M6 are clearly better than others, but I think X100VI is the champion in this term if we doesn't consider Ricoh GR.Camera size is good for giving you an idea about the size, but I always find when I get the bodies in hand, there is a marked difference in how the camera ACTUALLY feels in hand vs what I thought it would be from the photos.
I have shot with all of the cameras in the bottom photo except the x-e5 and the CL, and the only one I kept is the RF. The only one I have regrets about selling is the Canon, which with that 22mm lens would have been perfect with a proper corner EVF, but that isn't Canon's way.
I can tell you in practice, the GX9+15 and the Sony RX1xx feel much thicker than the RF.
When I read my daughter's work from 10 years ago when she was 9, I feel similarly. Maybe one day I'll be able to write as well as she could when she was 9, but I feel, honestly, not likely. Aged 19, no chance.Partly it's a "me" thing. I'm hard to please when it comes to my own work."I can't think of many occasions where I've gone back to finished images and promoted them after years have passed. Much more common is demotions! Quite a few images that I rated 5 stars have dropped a star or two with the passage of time."
Yes, it works both ways
It's the same with writing. If I read something I wrote 10 years ago and still think it's good, that's a bad sign because it means I'm still making those mistakes, or more charitably, not getting better.
I guess you mean "complement" - unless you choose your cameras for their ability to form strong emotional bonds

“It said full names,” a man Aidan didn’t recognise said. He had light brown hair and mud brown eyes, and no particularly recognisable facial features, although he did note there seemed to be the end of a scar peeking out from under his hairline. Interesting.
“What happens if we don’t give each other our full names?” Another person Aidan didn’t recognise looked up, a smile quirking on the corners of their mouth.
“That’s true. None of you know who I am, so none of you can condemn me to death.”
“Nate Pearce and Dawn Downs,” a soft voice said, one Aidan hadn’t expected to hear again. Miriam Fischer, a pricey prostitute. She looked as he remembered her—long dark hair, piercing blue eyes that seemed to see too much. Sultry red lips, although stripped of makeup. Her eyelashes were paler than he’d expected them to be. “MI5 and a thief.”
“And who might you be?” either Nate or Dawn snapped. He guessed Dawn, if only because they had the more androgynous face, and Dawn had the more androgynous name. “Seeing as you know all our names, either you’re our gracious kidnapper or you’re—”
“Miriam Fischer,” Aidan said. “Her name is Miriam Fischer.”
Is that 9 or 19? If the former, then your daughter is an old soul indeed. If the latter, I hope she keeps writing.When I read my daughter's work from 10 years ago when she was 9, I feel similarly.

19, thankfully! She always seemed a wise child, but I wouldn't like the idea she could write crime/horror stories at the age of 9 with a prostitute at the protagonistIs that 9 or 19?

I've found that if your lens is front heavy, it tends to torque the camera body downwards and you need a beefy grip to counteract that. If the lens centre of gravity is well back, you can get away with a flat front gripless camera.Agreed! Had not thought much about weight distribution, but that is a key aspect.The weight distribution is as important as size. I'd put lens stick out and weight distribution over the overall size, this two is the most important factor. And in this term GFX100RF, CL and M6 are clearly better than others, but I think X100VI is the champion in this term if we doesn't consider Ricoh GR.Camera size is good for giving you an idea about the size, but I always find when I get the bodies in hand, there is a marked difference in how the camera ACTUALLY feels in hand vs what I thought it would be from the photos.

I believe a high-resolution camera with a fixed 28mm lens that allows for cropping up to 2x (effectively 56mm) offers greater versatility as an everyday camera compared to a fixed 35mm lens that can be cropped up to 70mm. The 28-56mm focal length range is more useful for daily use than the 35-70mm range. For this reason, I would prefer the XE5 + 18mm f2 more than X100 as the primary camera, just like GFX 100RF.Other alternatives:I was just comparing sizes on camerasize.com, and fuji XE 5 + 18mm f2 has almost exactly the same depth as GFX100 RF. But you will lose a native 4:3 sensor, weather-sealing and high megapixels. You will gain IBIS and slightly more light gathering ability, albeit with slightly wider angle of view.
Compact Camera Meter
Compare unlimited number of cameras with lenses, see how compact or bulky a camera is and sort by height, width, depth and weight.camerasize.com
The GFX100RF's main advantage is the cropping ability, at 63mm you have still high resolution 20MP images, and you start from 28mm. If you are not using this ability, as you see there are lot of other alternatives, GX9+14 f1.7 has a same image as GFX100RF but with 20MP, also I like the CL for that thin compact size with EVF. Overall hard to beat the X100VI because of the size as a second carry-around, vacation camera, I'd go for it instead of X-E5, I have an A7III for shallow DOF photography but it requires quite big lenses.
