Didn't Fuji already release a new film simulation this year?  Color Chrome, for the GFX 50S?  I would expect that to migrate to the X-Series next.

Indeed, and one more reason I carry an Olympus TG-4 on most trips in addition to my Fujis.  Plus most people have their smartphones these days.

This isn't a review. It's a rant about Fuji's customer service. I understand how frustrating this was, but calling it a "review" is misleading.

What visual differences, aside (obviously) from the branding?  They look absolutely identical in pictures.

Small world! I, too, just got back. I've been to the Canyon a number of times (I live in Arizona). I felt the 16-55 was a perfect companion on this past trip. There were a handful of times when it ...

I like your pictures, but several are basically just travel snapshots. Get closer! Many of these suffer from not having a well-defined subject, or from having a subject that isn't front-and-center ...

Great review. Much better than most internet reviews of camerastuff. Leather camera bags are not my cup of tea, but you've done a nice job highlighting the reasons to buy this one.  I agree with ...

+1 on the TG-4.  It's exactly what you're looking for. It's an outstanding little camera with a very good lens. To my eye, Olympus colors are second only to Fuji, so you get very nice results OOC. ...

Looks very nice.  I'm a shoulder bag guy myself, and have been very happy with both the Retro 7 and the Peak Design Everyday Messenger.

Yes, duh. And retailers are clowns as well for turning a profit.

And now we come full circle, with the critic revealing his true feelings and resorting to name calling.  This thread should be locked.

That's just terrible. I can't believe people do things like that.

The last X Deals lens rebate season was December 2016.  It has now been over six months.  Fuji's competitors continue to run regular rebates, but Fuji seems to have scaled them way back.  A shame. ...

The Ricoh GR and Sony R1X also lack IS. Is there a standard fixed prime travel camera that does have it?

It sure seems like you spend a lot of time thinking about this lens.  In a way, I understand.  It is seemingly perfect but for the lack of OIS.  I actually agonized for a long time myself.... and ...

Check out the 16mm 1.4.  It has that "clarity" thing you're talking about.  I think it's the best lens Fuji makes.

Superb!  You've made me want to travel there, which is the highest thing travel photography can accomplish.

I too would like IBIS, but this is a known and frequently discussed drawback of the Fuji platform.  I am not a very steady shooter, but I've found ways to deal with this limitation.  Outdoors, ...

Pinhole photography is a fun antidote to digital overload, but this isn't the right camera for it. Buy an Ondu instead, or a (now discontinued) pinhole Holga.
