Hi Todd. I’m a newbie at 72 yo. I hate taking photos with a cellphone. I have been using an old Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS on a tripod with LED work lights from the garage and white cardboard reflectors to take photos of items to sell on eBay. The items are small in size and I use the macro mode on the camera which is quite limited. When I came upon your excellent video it made me want to consider a new camera. I haven’t enjoyed photography for decades. I had a Canon AE-1 decades ago that I loved using. I’ve been watching MANY YT videos about cameras in general as well as the Fujifilm X100V and VI but most owners use it for street photography. It was a pleasure to watch you use it for product photography. I am sure the X100’s macro mode is quite limited. Have you attempted tiny objects such as postage stamps and coins? I would love to hear your thoughts.
The lens on the x100 will focus rather close. I have often used it at a wedding to photograph the rings. However, you will not be able to fill the frame with a postage stamp so I would not say it is the camera of choice if macro photography is your goal. Fuji makes an xt30 and now the xt50 which is about the size of the x100 but will allow you to change the lens. Then you'll have full access to all of Fuji's lens and they make a few very nice macro lenses. Thanks for watching and for your comments!
