The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Good info, thanks. Out of interest did you manage to use them with your finger? Or from an accuracy perspective do you need an Apple pencil?

I have an Apple pencil so didn't try if I'm honest, I've just had another look and Capture One has a mobile only sub which is £7pm if you pay annually; £8.50 if you pay monthly. I think £5pm would be stomachable...

Initially I was dead set on Silver and my first two were silver - and then someone pointed out that they’re pretty conspicuous (nothing shouts ‘I’m taking pictures’ louder than a silver vintage style body!) and since then I’ve really preferred black

I'm 6'4" and built like a rugby player, I'm never going to be inconspicuous

The silver one do look nicer though, they are better as an object.*

* side note, I would save myself so much time and may be even money if I were colour blind, besides the problem that comes with being colour blind, if I can't tell the difference between all the colours or even shades. If I just go by feel and quality. This apply to everything from clothes to bags or the colour of my HiFi. So on some things I just get a blanket black to save myself the headache of the option of merely having the option. Like I just bought a keyboard, the choice was silver or space grey....I chose space grey but since then I thought to myself the silver one might be nicer.... which is weird because the reason i went with space grey is because i already have another keyboard in silver and I wanted something different. It's a good thing sometimes when i didn't get a choice, like when I bought my car, I just wanted the engine and it was the only one on my market at the time with the right mileage. Made the decision for me.

Also, it's the reason I wear a lot of black, i just don't need to waste time and energy to decide on the colour of my clothes. I have like 15 black Primark T-shirts as a result.

pps I spent 30mins a couple months ago standing in a store deciding on the colour of a water bottle!

Sorry for the detour! lol

Times were simpler when we didn't have so much choice, and access to information. I remember the good old days of wanting a telly, you'd go to comet see one in the size you wanted and take it home.

Now it's research until the cows come home whether you want OLED, QLED, 4k, 8k, how bright you want it, which have the best motion handling (I still prefer CRT and Plasma for this), whether it's a smart tv or not, how many HDMI ports is has, what the refresh rates are etc etc. You then go to store to check it out, go back and do some more research on what you discovered in store. Then search online to find where's cheapest, ask your local store if they'll price match, buy the thing and then research again to make sure you've made the right purchase. Be happy with it for two weeks and then find out they're bringing a new model out

Still got my 2019 OLED and it’s great. A lot of tech is so good nowadays you don’t need to upgrade for years. Fujis are a good example!

I’ve got a CRT for games and old 4:3 content too; and in a dark room it’s probably the best looking set I have!
