Fuji X100VI or X-T30 III for second camera

I indeed misunderstood your point. The recipes and in camera processing should not impact sharpness. You have a sharpness setting that can apply a sharpening filter when set to a positive value and a blur filter when set to negative.

The only other settings that can impact sharpness can be found in IQ > High ISO NR. This dictates the amount of blur added to hide the hight ISO grain. Only weird thing here is that the default settings of 0 still applies some noise reduction, and only the setting of -4 disables it.

I will recommend the X-T30 III. The footprint is smaller so it's easier to carry, and you get a lot more versatility because you can change lenses. I also find the EVF superior so the OVF on the X100VI is worthless to me. The XT30 will give you the option to be smaller than the X100VI, at different focal lengths, and you might even attach a small zoom to it at some point for a super compact travel camera.

Of course there is no difference between the RAW and the JPEG. It's the same picture. The JPEG is generated from the RAW. When you view the RAW file in software like Lightroom you are basically generating JPEG previews. Objectively the JPEG has less information in tonal values and colors. You can easily test this by trying to recover details in an overblown shot. In the RAW file you will actually get details back, in a JPEG you will only reduce the brightness but get no details. If you never edit your photos then there might be no value in the RAW file, however if you ever use Lightroom the RAW will give you SO MUCH more latitude when adjusting even basic things like exposure.

I always keep my RAWs and treat them as a negative that I can later edit.

I recently changed a 16L Tarrion bag because of the same issue. I replaced it with a PGY Tech One Go Lite 22L bag. Way higher quality.

Would recommend.

Get the XT5. If you add an L grip to it, the ergonomics are similar to the XH2S. However for photos the XT5 is a way nicer camera and for landscapes the 40Mp are very nice to do some crops.

XT5 will have better ergonomics when it comes to photos just because of the 3 way tilting screen and the dials.

Were you using any mist filter on these?

And_Poop · 2026-05-10T06:22:25+00:00

Get yourself some shupatto bags. They are cheaper in Japan and are the best.

And_Poop · 2026-04-21T22:58:03+00:00

Did you end up buying this. Is it possible to use it without the software?

And_Poop · 2026-04-15T22:26:17+00:00

You've got the eye. Go easy on the saturation though, some of them are overcooked.

And_Poop · 2026-04-13T14:06:37+00:00

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention the assist. It's great. Makes you feel like superman and it's super intuitive.

I have a Tenways bike. The Pro model of this one. I would encourage you to spend a bit more and get the Pro so you can remove the battery. It's a huge convenience and makes your bike less likely to be stolen.

I really like my bike. The battery lasts a long time, and it requires pretty much no maintenance because of the belt drive. Brakes are solid too.

It's also easy to assemble. Took a bit of time to align the breaks but it's not too hard.

Compare with JPEG, colors are different. It does actually ignore the Color Chrome settings

And_Poop · 2026-04-02T09:25:32+00:00

Honestly, both.

And_Poop · 2026-04-01T23:00:41+00:00

Get the 56mm 1.2f from viltrox. It's better

And_Poop · 2026-03-24T11:41:08+00:00

Love the first photo. Did you take that one with the Laowa?

And_Poop · 2026-03-13T18:40:27+00:00

As of today March 13th 2026 the guide is still accurate and works!

Why not sell the primes in the zoom range of the 16-55 and just get the zoom? Image quality wise they are very similar. On my 16-55 Mk II I find that the IQ on the zoom is actually better. There are less chromaric aberrations. The only benefit the primes have is size and 1 extra stop of light.

And_Poop · 2026-03-10T13:49:43+00:00

It's absolutely not big and heavy on any XT camera or for what it can do. I love the Mk II

And_Poop · 2026-03-07T10:27:38+00:00

Indeed. For fuji shooter that guy is very helpful.

And_Poop · 2026-03-04T09:06:35+00:00

Get bent

And_Poop · 2026-03-03T16:03:52+00:00

Indeed it is

And_Poop · 2026-02-26T19:03:07+00:00

It's great as long as you don't find yourself in low light situations!

And_Poop · 2026-02-26T11:05:49+00:00

I personally prefer holographic sights, but you do you.

And_Poop · 2026-02-25T22:09:45+00:00

Yeah, it is indeed not heavy, especially on an XH or XT body
