X100, X100s, X100T photos

The adjustable flash is convenient and works well for fill on a back lit subject.

I like the flash better on the S than my T, I swear I got better results.

But for a portrait like this id rather take a step to the right and use the window light

This was a small area and just out of frame on both side were numerous people that I didn't want in the background. The flash allowed me to get the shot. Natural light for sure would have been preferred.

I've been struggling with going back and forth between X100F and A7rii. I'm generally more drawn to the Fuji. It's just more fun to shoot with. I like the colors a lot better. But man, I wish it had the dynamic range of the A7rii. The GFX is starting to seem like a really enticing option.

I vote for the GFX

Four days ago we decided to take a spur of the moment trip to Dakar. I brought mostly film to shoot with my GW690. I also brought my 5D, but the X100t has also gotten some use. I forgot how fun it was to shoot with this little camera.

Weather is particularly nice at the moment in the UK - taken in the Peak District this morning:

.....What's the best way to save the battery when it's hanging around your neck? So far I've found that turning it on/off works the best. Maybe that's way wrong?

I always carry a second battery, and then have 3 total for camping. I shot for 5 days on 3 batteries without power to recharge. For that length of time, disable the LCD and use the viewfinder only. And it was turned off while hiking.

I don't know so much about turning it on/off for battery life, but one interesting thing is that the camera boots-up faster from the Off position.

I've seen on some threads here that off-brand batteries will destroy the camera, so you might consider spending the inflated price for Fuji batteries. Once you've spent 1000 bucks for the camera, no logical reason to go cheap on the batteries.

But basically, yeah, it has limited battery. C'est la vie.

Turning the LCD off was one of the first things I did! I don't use the LCD on my 6d either. I need to pick up at least one more battery, but I do have USB slots in my truck so I like that I can charge the camera via micro-usb.
But it is weird how long it takes it to wake up. I've already gotten in the habit of turning it off.

I also like that putting it in MF lets me use the button on the rear to autofocus, and that focus-peak thing is cool. I've been using rear focus on my other cameras for several years, and I'm not sure if I can go back.
