Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to ask (new here!) But, I'm getting back to photography after about a 10 year break, lots has changed in that time!
I want to get a Fujifilm XT, as I really like the small form and, of course, the images and colours.
But, if you wouldn't mind, would I be best placed to pick up an XT20 with the 18-55 2.8-4 for what seems a very good price of under £600, or future proof (maybe) and pick up the newer XT30, with the slower (but still very good, apparently) 15-45mm kit lens.
I'm maybe leaning towards the XT20, as it is £200 cheaper, with the quicker lens. But then, it's easier to buy additional glass than a body upgrade. I've no doubt the XT20 is more than enough camera for me, for shots of the kids, beaches, bit of vlogging... But I have a nagging feeling that the XT30 will keep me busy for a good few years with no "what ifs?".
Sorry, long post... thank you all. Hope everyone is safe and well.
Yep and that was taken with the TCL-X100 adaptor too (50mm equiv).Such a huge improvement over the F at f/2.0

I would say weekend for both.

Lovely colours mmmm
Seriously considering a 16-55mm f2.8 for the X-H1
Thoughts from those that have used one?
Thanks @Fuji Dave , that link was helpful, easier to understand than some of YouTube comparisons I've been watching! To be honest, a big attraction is that the XT20 with the XF kit lens is £549! So, it almost seems worth it just to grab the lens and if i came to sell the body in a year, it probably wouldnt cost me too much. Though, my last DSLR was an APS-C of 10mp, which predates video capture and used a big ol' compact flash, so really, any modern camera is going to wow me
@JasonPC , that's a shout, I hadn't really considered it because I wanted small... But they're not exactly bulky. A friend is a wedding photographer and uses one to great effect, that's what turned me onto to Fuji actually.
We are still working, but from home, but took time out to do a little self distancing today with the dog. And then can catch up with this page later on. Social media and Talk Photography are going to be a godsend to many.
The pics are much sharper than depicting on there, should sort out my Flickr again I suppose - well I will have time now.

Two very nice Fujigraphs, with my fav' being #1.

I had the 16-55 f2.8 before I bought my X-H1, I used it primarily on my X-Pro 2. I got some lovely images with it, but a lot of soft images as well. Even with the hand grip it didn’t balance well, so I sold it.Seriously considering a 16-55mm f2.8 for the X-H1

Must admit I'm a great fan of the XT20/30 series though most people prefer the X-T2/3, paired XT20 with the 18-55 and of the f2 primes it's a small lightweight kit which gives excellent IQ.Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to ask (new here!)

Lovely sharp shot on the eyes - oh those eyes just pull you in.Strange as this morning I get an email saying the 35mm will be delivered then I get another message saying Not today. But just now had the XF35mm f1,4 delivered so a nice day so stuck it on the H1 for a quick test shot of my model... Susie.

Don't be! beautiful creatures. Used to get tonnes of them gather near the rowing club in my old town, rarely see any these days where I'm at. There was a couple pairs on the stretch of the Boyne nearby but it's been 2 year since I spotted them now

What are you all up to ? I've just had a massive image cull and back up, well overdue. Probably still kept way too many personal images, over 30k excluding work stuff for clients LOL
Hi - the close focus on the 16-55 is closer than listed. On my XT3 at 16mm it focusses at about 27cm from the focus plain which is about 14cm from the front of the lens. Not sure about other focal lengths though..I liked the 16-55, it's a very good lens all-round I just wouldn't say it blew me away by any means. I did wish it could focus a bit closer with better magnification like many equivalent lenses on other systems can [take the Olympus 12-40 for example, can do 1:3 mag and focus 10cm closer than the Fuji in a lens half the weight and size]

Just a simple tourist type Fujigraph taken at London UK of a Horse Guards boot etc with a very high degree of Bull.
I'm also working on a personal project called Faceless and this will be one of the shots included.
