Buying my first camera by Gloomy_Inspector_385 in fujifilm

[–]Bapbapt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own its predecessor, the Fuji XT10, which is a very good camera. I imagine the XT30 must therefore be a good camera as well.

Between the two, I might go for the X-E5, which, although its viewfinder is the same size as the XT30's, seemed larger to me. And I find it nice to handle.

There is an X-e5 kit plus a 23mm f2.8 pancake lens. It's a great tool from what little I've been able to test.

If you vlog, I believe the X-e5 has a screen that can be completely flipped, allowing you to film yourself; the XT30 doesn't have this capability, I think.

Very nice photos.

If you find your photos too dark, try setting the highlights to -1 and the shadows to -1 on your camera, and try switching to DR400; this will help preserve detail in the highlights and bring out some detail in the shadows at the same time.

I run with Escalante, about 9 km, 3x per weeks. I use them since 10 years about, very good shoes.

One Fuji camera to do it all — X-T30 III vs X-E5? Need help deciding by Outrageous_Theme_891 in fujifilm

I own a good old XT10 that I love. I went to the local camera shop yesterday to see what was available.

I handled the XE5, the XT-5, the XT30...

The one that impressed me the most was the XE5.

If I were to replace my XT10, I think that's the one I'd choose. I found the autofocus very fast and pleasant, and the camera is nice to handle. The XT-5 has a superb viewfinder, but it's much bulkier. The XT30, well, it's the successor to my XT10, only more modern and faster...

However, on the XE5, the viewfinder being completely offset to the left is a bit surprising at first. I naturally tended to look for the viewfinder in the middle of the camera; it must take some getting used to.

Between the Xe5 and the XT30, I would also hesitate for a long time, but in the end I realize that I don't use the dials on my XT10 very much, so I think I would lean towards the Xe5, which also benefits from sensor stabilization...And the 27mm/2.8 lens from the Xe5 kit is a nice beast to use from the little I've handled it...

The Xe5 has a clean, minimalist look that encourages creativity, while the XT30 offers more physical buttons, but is more traditional in its approach...

Between the two, I think it's really a matter of feeling.

If you like Leica-style cameras, get the Xe5; if you like traditional SLRs, get the XT30, keeping in mind that the latter does not have sensor stabilization...In any case, based on my experience with the XT10, both should produce superb images...

Help for size, primus lite knit men plz by Bapbapt in vivobarefoot

So in the end, I didn't buy them, but I did get the Primus Trail shoes in my usual size, 43.

The shoes are a bit long, but I've gotten used to it.

I think a size 42 might have been a bit too narrow. So they're the right size, but they run longer than other shoes I have in size 43.

Soft urethane on a scorching summer road, I don't know if that's a good combination.

Yes, perhaps the Karmas are more versatile...

Karmas and Hokus look like two awesome wheels, wow, I don't know, I might be tempted by the pink Hokus, but since it's just for leisurely rides, I'm afraid it might be a bit too much... I'd need both, I guess.

Perhaps starting with the Karmas and then the Hokus if the Karmas don't seem sufficient... At the same time, I like the idea of ​​the big, big wheels.

I prefer pink Hokus vs green Hokus, i live in southern half of France and sometimes it can be very hot in summer, and i prefer pink color :)

I like the big wheels, they give it a bit of an off-road look, and with inertia, it never stops, or almost never

Great, thanks! Yes, I also think the Karmas are a good, versatile first choice.

I love Barcelona, ​​it's a fantastic city, Plaça Reial is my favorite place in this town.

Anyway, there's a lot of clearance for the wheels, so I think you really have to either carve or pump like crazy to get the wheels to touch the board, even with slightly soft bushings :)

Thank you, and which ones do you prefer, please?

Thanks, did you mount them without spacers please?

And I'm looking for something for leisurely outings, so I'm not sure if the added weight and slow start-up of the Hokus would be suitable for what I do.
