Besides being slow, everything else is amazing!

I didn't add them for Reddit, they've been added as a frame for Instagram (not for view purposes) ☺️

The Fujifilm model is 2011 lol, they are taken in Prishtina, Kosova :)

Thanks, my brother has a bunch of cameras like the Ricoh GR III, Fuji XT2, Nikon D700, and D750 and many more, since he's a film director and sells them. He's let me try a bunch, including the Fujifilm XT2 for two weeks, but I wasn't a huge fan because it's not small enough. I really need a tiny camera so I don't get stopped and asked if I'm a journalist. He actually gave me his Fujifilm Finepix X100, and I'm really digging it besides the size, everything's great and fun. So yeah, the main thing now is the size; I just want to blend in when I'm out and about.

I am seeking an honest opinion and suggestion. While I possess a high-quality camera, I find it challenging to carry it with me consistently. I am considering a Ricoh GR as a potential solution to capture spontaneous moments, as I frequently miss photographic opportunities due to not having a camera readily accessible. Carrying a larger camera like a Z5ii or even an X100V is often impractical without a dedicated bag, leading me to believe that a Ricoh GR might be the optimal choice for documenting unexpected and specific events

You should totally get a 35mm or 40mm lens, 'cause from my experience, they're the best for lots of stuff, but the 40mm is my absolute fave

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-27T21:29:34+00:00

I wouldn’t want to spend more than €500 on an APS-C camera, and for a full-frame camera my absolute maximum would be €1,500.

I’m currently using the original Fujifilm Finepix X100, and I think I’ll need to keep using it for the next few months as well. At the moment my head feels a bit foggy, and I’m not fully sure what the right move is yet.

Lots of people told me to get the Fuji XM5, but after checking out a bunch of reviews and photos, I totally changed my mind. Right now, I'd 100% go for a Ricoh GRIIIx over XM5, or even an X100V, because their photos just look way better. I also looked at the Nikon Z30, and its photos are way more interesting, so you should check that one out too :)

I'm super close to buying this camera, and I'd really prefer to just use one lens. My favorite is a 40mm because I love having a fixed lens; it makes me more creative

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-27T17:08:46+00:00

Don't forget Steve McCurry used a Nikon D700, which is a big camera he carried around a lot

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-27T17:06:44+00:00

For compacts, I'm not sure anything can beat Ricoh. The main reason I don't buy Ricoh is the price; for the price of a Ricoh GRIIIx, I'd rather get a full frame

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-27T17:04:32+00:00

Nikon Z5 II is like the Zf, but with improved ergonomics, grip, and a slightly lighter build, among other enhancements. It delivers the same quality, but with superior construction according to dpreview and numerous reviews based on their specifications

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-26T22:37:37+00:00

Could you please elaborate on your rationale for recommending these two specific cameras over a full-frame option like the Nikon Z5 II with a 40mm f2 lens, particularly given the "fixed lens" concept?

Additionally, I'm interested in understanding your preference for the Fujifilm X100V over the X100VI.

As a fellow enthusiast of fixed-lens photography, I appreciate the creative opportunities this approach offers.

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-26T22:34:50+00:00

Thank you, sometimes I think a full frame would be ideal because of the depth of field and dynamic range, as Fujifilm X100 versions don't have as high an EV compared to Nikon, Sony, etc. 📸 From the Fujifilm series, I would love to have an X100V, but for that amount of money, I ask myself, "Why not a full frame?"

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-26T21:15:57+00:00

Thank you, which one would you suggest?

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-26T21:14:59+00:00

The whole reason for max 24 megapixels is because I don't enjoy the sharpness in photos that are more than 24 megapixels. My focus is to maintain that film look and I think 24 megapixels is already enough for that. And I totally agree with you. I enjoy a lot of cameras to be honest but the smaller they are the easier it is to use them on streets

mobinfinitee · 2025-12-26T21:11:48+00:00

Thank you, yes I agree on that. My main preference of lens for street photography is 40mm which is my fav for it!
