getting used to the xt20

[back alley]

the size had me worried but i have always been able to adapt/adjust to most cameras that i have used. i'm liking the body especially since i added a small no name grip to it. the 2 new smaller lenses (23/50) are downright tiny compared to their faster siblings. i went out this past weekend to do some shooting but the muse was missing...ended up with nothing that i liked but practicing with the xt20 was fun anyway.

Do you think it'll be your main camera now?

till an xe3 emerges from the darkness...i much prefer the xe body style...
i'll likely trade the xt20 in on a new xe3.

and mayybe sell/trade/store away my 2 xe1 bodies too.

leaving a new xe3 plus 2 xe2 bodies...

As much as I love the simplicity and fixed lens of my x100s, I am tempted to buy an interchangeable X camera to try out a few manual focus lenses particularly some Konica LTM and M glass. The X-E2 seems like the ideal body for this, especially if you prefer the VF on the left and not the center. It is certainly more to my budget than the XPro-2!

I recently advised my parents to go with a X-T20 and the 18-55 zoom. They are still waiting on delivery but I would love to try out the camera sometime. Gotta love Fujifilm!

A long story short, I am a 5 year x100 shooter-had the desire and believed that ILC would be the way to go, rented then bought a XT2, beautiful camera received last Friday with a 27mm pancake-23mmf2.0 and a M converter for my M glass, the 27mm to replicate the simplicity of the x100 for street/reportage which is 90% of my interest......after FOUR days I so missed the simplicity of the x100/no decision of what lens to use etc.- I returned the XT2 today! and bought the 100f which I get Friday. For me, I love the x100 & use with my M5/M6 for B&W film, lesson learned for me, keep it simple and what has been working for me- Dan

the xt20 might be the most complicated camera i have ever used. i keep the manual bookmarked at work and read bits of it daily. i even carry the paper manual around too.
i almost sold the xt20 out of sheer frustration with the size...but this past weekend i put the fuji 35/2 on it and carries only that kit and forced myself to take a few shots of mostly crap images....but i did get more used to it. i'm still torn, have bad, good and better days with it...it has some fancy techno in it especially for a guy who loved the rd1...

The XE3 rumors are heating up.
I sure hope that fuji models more after the xpro2 interface rather than the xt20 touchscreen.
The xt20 is great as an xtrans-3 entry.
The xt20 images speak for themselves (great iq)but, the small size and lack of focus joystick makes it a wait and see.
This time around It would be nice if fuji treated the xe model as it's own entry rather than a "dumbed down" x-pro.

I can easily see how you might reach this conclusion. Lately, following a long period of using an assortment of other cameras - and largely ignoring my x100(original) - I've resumed using the x100 more.

It really is a joy to use..... at least, it is most of the time 😉.

'rumour' has it there will be no touch/tilt screen on the xe3...i like that it might be smaller than the xe series so far...
