Great video! Could you do an updated night settings one as well? Would particularly love to know how you deal with shooting people/faces in darker settings, vs the kind of landscape street scenes in your previous night video! Thanks again for all the great tips!
I recently purchased a Fujifilm X100VI, it is my first compact camera ever because I only owned a SONY A7IV. I can say that the power of Fujifilm lies in the ''Shot out of the camera'' experience, so the whole process happens and ends during the shooting phase, and by managing to shoot with a ''FILM LUT'' applied, you instantly enter in that mood. I'm sure that shooting in this way is an excellent way to improve artistically and concentrate more when shooting and less when editing, a bit like we did in the past. The same goes for other compact cameras obviously, like the RICOH GR which attracts me a lot due to its compactness. The Fuji is very small, but it is not a pocket camera. I would like to test it, the HDF model attracts me, but the image paste and the predisposition to the Fuji film style with the simulations and the customization of the simulations (Kodak Portra, Cinestill etc) pushed me to take Fuji. Only now do I understand why the 35 2.8 on the Sony was a game changer for you. It is possible to transform the Sony into a camera that is a little bigger than the Fujifilm, and with abnormal qualities. It's a shame Sony doesn't offer the same approach in simulations (I always shoot in RAW, but now I'm finding it very fun to shoot in simulation without subsequent editing) excluding black and white which is excellent.
I just got a X100VI and honestly I am a bit disappointed in the image quality compared to my Ricoh GRIII. F2 and sometimes even F2.8 is too soft. Also gives weird artifacts in the background.
I think this is what a lot of people miss when comparing x100 series to GRIII/x. The GR series has unbelievably sharp corner to corner images for being an ultra-compact APS-C camera. Once you shoot with it and get used to snap focus, you can't go back, at least for street photography.
