Fujifilm fans: Have we reached peak Fujifilm? Their mirrorless cameras have all been SO good over the last ten years that any photographer could pick any of them up and be in control of their image right away. Great handling, great user interface, great sensors. I look at the X100VI and the X-T50 and think, meh, so what? (And, bloody hell, that's a LOT of money!)
@timbray I think it's the Tictok kids that have really got sucked into the film simulations. They're fun, but memory cards are so cheap now that there's no excuse not to be shooting RAW+JPEG - and play with the RAW interpretation at your leisure.
Top plate dials: film speed on the left, shutter speed on the right. Lens rings: nearest is aperture, furthest is focus. The rest is candy, like a ND filter lever, focus mode lever,…
@marcusjenkins@timbray I don't edit. I'm not an artist. I don't have to make perfect pictures for sale by heavily editing from RAW. So, its film simulations are an easy way to play around. The dedicated dial is good for me because I hardly ever use the current dial on the left. I'm just a photo shooter. AF is good enough as I don't shoot moving targets except for my dog (for which their new animal focus setting is appealing, though). I don't shoot in wet weather.
@masayuki60@timbray It would be kind of cool to have the film simulation as a slide switch / lever on the back. So as you review a photo you could flick through "Hmm, Kodachrome? HP5?…" and see the results straight away on the screen. But you'd need to have the RAW there...
@masayuki60@timbray I used to be a big fan of Pentax M series 35mm. Like an MX with one of the gorgeous M series lenses: 85mm f2, 40mm pancake, 50mm f1.4 🤤
