@alexjj I saw your recent wiki note mentioning the Fujifilm X100V or the Ricoh GR. Fujifilm stuff is on my want-list, but I've never used any. However, I can strongly endorse the 2013 original GR (which is the only Ricoh thing I've owned). I'm in the process of re-learning the one I got this past April and it's delightful. I almost feel like it's the digital version of my Olympus XA. So tiny and easy to have with you all the time. I was inspired a lot by what @tgray did with his GR and he shared great info and his processing settings in this M.b thread. I believe @jack still has the newer GRIII and likes it, too. Of course, you can't go wrong with an X100V, either!
@twelvety thanks for that. I’ll have a look through those links. For about 2-3 years the only camera I had was the X100F. It was/is great but last year I picked up a X-T2 and with the X100F breaking twice made me consider selling it and getting something different. The x100 series are small but still large compared to the Ricoh. Just not sure about the 18mm on the Ricoh!
@twelvety I also like the idea of finding an older, used camera. It’s funny that when I was looking at the X100F to buy, I also looked at the X-T2 (which was new then) but it was $1500 or whatever. Several years later I buy it used for about $450. Yes, there’s the XT3 and XT4 now but the XT2 is still good enough for me.
@alexjj It is indeed weird to earnestly shop for an old digital camera. For me, the lower cost is a driver, and I’ve also found that 16 MP is my favorite sensor resolution. Going higher can result in images that are to me sometimes too clean.
@twelvety I used to have a Nikon D40 and then a D7000 which I used with a 18-200 superzoom. Wasn’t the lightest setup but was so versatile and I took a look of my favourite photos with it. I then upgraded to D7200 which was now 24mp and all it did was just highly the flaws in the lens and made me not like it anymore. So absolutely agree with sensors. Unless you go to larger sensor sizes… 😅
