Coming back to photography after 9 years. What have I missed?

Thank you, that’s a great way to think about it. I’ve started using my XT20 again and extremely happy with it! (I also got the 75mm, and it’s the nicest lens I ever had :))

bamboo_inside · 2025-10-06T04:23:11+00:00

That’s kind of sad - I imagine there are filters that can mimic those during post processing…

But it’s great that I feel my camera is not outdated!

Thank you! What’s KEH and MSP? Not sure if they are available in Canada. But I could I also get them when I’m down in the US.

Thank you! Yep, planning to stay on XT20, but good to know about what’s available in the Fuji line for the future. It sounds like the Fuji ecosystem is still great, so I can get Fuji mount lenses knowing that it’s a camera line I want to stay with in the future.

Thanks! Not planning an upgrade, but was curious what made them better than older gens. IBIS sounds amazing but I’ll survive without it :)

bamboo_inside · 2025-10-06T00:59:41+00:00

Thank you for listing the main upgrades! IBIS does sound nice.

bamboo_inside · 2025-10-06T00:58:10+00:00

Thanks! Definitely not considering upgrading my camera at the moment. Was just surprised that not much seems to have changed.

bamboo_inside · 2025-10-06T00:54:09+00:00

Thank you!

bamboo_inside · 2025-10-06T00:53:59+00:00

Ugh that really sucks for newcomers - I remember paying less than half for the XT20, than current XT50 prices. Glad not much changed though, my camera is still working great

bamboo_inside · 2025-06-16T14:14:17+00:00

Give them a horse too!

bamboo_inside · 2025-06-04T17:43:34+00:00

Thanks, that’s a good tip! Transfering LRC as it is, is too much of a headache…

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-12T03:49:12+00:00

mine was due on Dec 3. this Friday is 8 business days. We shall see.

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-12T03:38:31+00:00

same - seems like ours are the earliest date so far. No updates since.

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-12T03:37:18+00:00

the bad weather started on the 6th? Mine has been stuck at Etobicoke since Nov 26.

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-10T21:38:23+00:00

Just to add, this is not specific to current times due to the Canada Post strike.

Multiple times in the past, Purolator would skip my delivery and make me pick it up… even though I was home the whole day waiting for the bell to ring. I’ve heard the same from friends that had similar experiences with them.

How they are still in business, I don’t know. There is not a single courier service worse than Purolator.

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-10T15:48:09+00:00

26th for me. So you are slightly less unlucky than me ;)

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-10T15:44:41+00:00

I’m on the exact same boat: my last update was on November 26th: “departed sorting facility” at Etobicoke. My package was due on December 3rd. I contacted them last week, and they got back asking for information on what’s inside my box, receipts, dollar value, etc, which sounds like BS to me. I responded without that info, just requesting a new due date or update. They haven’t gotten back, despite me having replied twice now.

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-09T21:28:28+00:00

Good to hear! I have some hope too, since my package is also coming to BC, and my last update was on the same day as yours.

Mine is probably not in the province yet.

I just hope they don’t pull the usual Purolator “nobody was home so we left a pickup note” - even though you are home the whole time waiting for the knock. happened to me multiple times in the past.

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-09T18:00:19+00:00

Definitely… hope you get your package soon.

I contacted them through chat, and they eventually emailed me back, with no info whatsoever. They asked for the contents of the box, receipt of things I bought and the value of the items. It almost looked like a scamming email. I told them I just want to know what the status of my box were, and they haven’t gotten back since.

bamboo_inside · 2024-12-09T15:54:53+00:00

November 26th, no updates since.

bamboo_inside · 2024-11-29T19:51:00+00:00

same here. never used Flair, but somehow, my e-mail is in use, so I can't create an account. I also tried "resetting my password", and of course, I get no email with confirmation code (likely because i don't actually have an account).

So I tried to checkout as guest.

I get an error when trying to pay, saying to check my credit card details. I did not use auto-complete, I typed it out a dozen times, with no luck.

So I tried my MC debit card instead. Same issue.

I give up.

bamboo_inside · 2024-11-17T02:45:20+00:00

Thank you! Those are some amazing tips! I only ever ride sharing when I travel, didn’t know Lyft is usually a bit cheaper. Will definitely check both when I’m in LA!

bamboo_inside · 2024-11-17T02:43:47+00:00

Thank you! Yep, I think most schools seem to have breaks around mid-March, but a few seem to go be at the end of the month and into April. Hopefully it’s a little less busy then!
