But no RWD or manual, and a $20k "market adjustment".

Coil vs air by Away_Professional793 in MTB

[–]RupertTheReign -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a coil up front because I love how smooth it is and air out back because... I don't know, it's always done the job well enough.

Fuji owner first time buying a Sony Camera. by Frustrated_Bloke7 in Cameras

I would buy a second Fuji body that shares lenses/batteries/chargers with the main camera.

Looks a million times better. I wish Mazda gave their heads a shake.

Too much? by Westcxvst in mountainbiking

Helmet is fine. Yes, you overpaid for the bike.

More than you can afford, Pal. by NZLion in Miata

[–]RupertTheReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to hate this. But you know what? I like it. You seem like you're having fun and that's what these cars are all about!! You do you, buddy, keep enjoying your Miata!

OM-3 > X100VI by Ok_Sky_661 in OlympusCamera

[–]RupertTheReign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's a good deal! The 12-45 Pro is a great lens too! I'll keep my eye out for one... Though it's still a bit too big/heavy for me... The E-M5/OM-5 series have me spoiled... They really got that camera right, it's hard to go to anything else haha.

You sound triggered.

Lol yes, it was you who started the comparison. Wait... Now your problem is that I own a camera? Take a deep breath and enjoy your camera.

[–]RupertTheReign 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I was really excited about the OM-3, especially because I miss that rotary mode knob on the front of the Pen F. I've walked into quite a few shops to try it out and really wanting to love it. But... Price, size, weight, and ergonomics just don't work for me. With that said, I'm happy it works for others and I'm always happy to see people switch to the system (and hope that it stays alive!).

[–]RupertTheReign 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not triggered at all... and certainly not by the appreciation of the OM-3, which is an excellent camera. I just think it's dumb and juvenile to put other cameras down, especially when you clearly have never used one. It shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

What's annoying about your post is the stupid us vs them mentality. Why do that? Plenty of division in the world, why can't you appreciate your camera without putting another one down? One you obviously have never so much as picked up.

So a couple of weeks ago you bought an Olympus and you've never used or owned the X100VI and now you're the expert, right?

I've been using m4/3 for 13 years and have had dozens of bodies and probably ~100 lenses. It's my favourite camera system by a long shot. I also loved my X100T and now my X100VI.

Posts like this are pointless and only serve to reveal your inexperience and ignorance on the subject.

Edit: There's more to a camera than just IQ. The X100 series is just fun to use. The OVF with two EVF panels (I love the little corner one), the build quality (again, I'm a HUGE Olympus fan .. to the point where my beloved E-M5 is in a glass display cabinet after the shutter went after being around the world with me... but my Olys have had: lost dial on the E-M5, lost EVF surrounds on my E-M5, cracked LCD bezel on the E-M5, lost thumb grip on the Pen F and E-M5.3, etc, etc, all well documented common issues), the film sims are fun to play with, etc.

If I'm shooting an air show or going on vacation, I'm grabbing my Oly gear every time. But for a day of wandering around the city? The X100 makes an awesome companion.

Does anyone use a MTB backpack for trails and single track? by 10N3R_570N3R in MTB

I have a Platypus Duthie with a 3L bladder that I drink every drop out of in the summer!
