I'd agree with that, or an X-Pro if you want an optical viewfinder.

Have kept the 23mm 1.4 and the 35mm 1.4 - fab lenses. Don't need the weather sealing and I prefer the faster lenses... I have the 14mm f2.8. Tempted by the faster 16mm lens but have been massively ...

I had an X100 and traded up to the X100S when it was launched.  Better in every respect so that's the one to get.

Lightroom does this - ie import only new and rename batch (CMD-A to select then library menu)

I lost a 55-200 in a fall last year - I claimed on my insurance. The best way of telling if you really love a lens is - given the insurance money... do you buy the exact same thing as a replacement. ...

Yes - set to: usb card reader auto - your camera thinks it is trying to save images off-camera - guess you've been using tethered or wireless.

Too big for me.  I bought into mirrorless (from full frame SLR) because I wanted to take advantage of micro electronics to have a smaller, lighter camera with great image quality. I love the idea ...

A fast solid state drive (SSD) will be the single biggest thing you'll notice if your existing computer doesn't have one.  Everything will load faster and save faster.

As a fellow sailor in the UK in cold wet January your pics made me long for better weather and time on the boat.  Thanks for sharing. PS I agree about the 23mm 1.4  Outstanding lens

I have a mark on the sensor of my X-Pro2.  I haven't had to clean it before and I confess to being nervous.  Does anyone have a workflow / process they follow to manually clean a sensor and would ...

We should try to minim ise this kind of thread. People will get crotchety!

I have both and have never seen the need (size-wise) to shift to the f2 versions.  The 35mm is plenty small enough and I've used the 23mm as a walk around lens in cities - everything's relative - ...

Notwithstanding Baobob's technically accurate observation I use the 14mm indoors frequently and the 23mm as a tighter, faster lens.

I've never thought of my X-Pro as a video camera and I don't shoot much video but I've used the 35mm 1.4 and the 55-200.  Can't claim to be a practitioner however so I'm interested to hear what ...

I think the value of this is driven by how much you dislike other options.  I've had a play this morning - firstly with tethered shooting from the X-pro2 (great) and now with x raw studio. The jpgs ...

I use a 32gb card in slot 2 for jpgs and a 64gb ultra fast card in slot 1 for raw.  It seems to work OK

sorry for being pedantic but a kit lens, almost by definition, is a multi-purpose lens that comes bundled with a camera body. If you're considering a prime - that goes beyond kit lens territory - ...

How's your handholding technique?  Although you shot at 1/500 which would normally freeze anything...it could be motion blur.  That could be you, or (as another poster suggested) the tree moving.  ...

Sharp is overrated as a measure of a lens - however since you asked... all the Fujinon lenses in my gear list are very (acceptably) sharp.

Really hard to say without knowing what your plans for photography are. From your list of options I'd always pick the X100F - but only because I think the X100 is a wonderful camera that all ...
