• Picking up a digital camera again after 10 years without (but shooting in between with film). I’d like a viewfinder (not necessarily optical) and don’t need huge files. Fuji? XE vs XT?

    I think I would miss having access to a semblance of functional controls with something like, say, a sony. Or is that daft retrogrouch bullshit?

    I really like the idea of a Ricoh, but no vf.

    Am lost.

  • Fuji is great if you like old school control surfaces. The XEs are hard to come by for reasonable money because of the instagram frenzy. The XT-x and XT-xx lines are great. A lot is going to depend on the form factor you prefer.

    You can get external optical viewfinders for the Ricohs. Obviously it’s not the same as an EVF. But it works well in bright light. The controls are a bit fiddly but mostly you set things how you want them to work and leave things alone. But again they’re quite hard to come by

  • This is useful. Hadn’t quite realised that they are somewhat hard to find (especially the xe, obviously missed the hype!).

    Head says Fuji (xt for weather sealing), but heart says Ricoh. Found my old rx100 mk1 in a cupboard which I thought was broken (it’s not) so going to play around with that before committing to anything.
