Ha yep that would be useful . Happy to be told if I’m way off but somewhere around the £600 mark?

I've had no problems so far...

Is anybody here looking for a Fender Jazz? I have a Mexican made 1960's Classic Series from 2014, has sat unused for the last few years and realistically I can't see when I'll use it again, which seems a shame. Plays really nicely, though I reckon it would benefit from a proper set up. Condition is great overall.

I bought a 2014 mk7(?) 1.4 tsi golf with 58,000 on the clock a couple of years ago, I’ve only had to replace the battery and recently one of the rear light clusters filled with water so I guess some seals are starting to go.

No problems beyond that so far. The idle is a bit chuggy at times when it’s not been used very much - I often don’t drive for weeks at a time - but that seems to right itself after a long drive.

I have an XE3 with the 27mm pancake I was about to trade in if it’s of any interest? Bit bigger than the Ricoh but still very compact, will go in a coat pocket no problem.

Capture one express? Is free, has all those basic functions and the Fujifilm version lets you load up the film sims if you shoot raw. Pretty sure you can customise the window to only display the tools you want to use if you want to keep it simple.

No worries! Not sure what they go for these days but it’s from the 80s so nowhere near the price of the current gen model.

I have a rega planar 3 that’s been sat in it’s box for a while I could get rid of. RB300 tonearm and had the motor upgrade done a few years ago. Can take some pics if you’re interested.

Yeah that sounds frustrating. Accessories being included or not doesn't seem to impact their prices at all which I find a bit weird. Cuts both ways though, the camera I just picked up had about a hundred quids worth of extras in the box that weren't even mentioned in the listing.

Buying or selling? I've bought from them twice and it's been great on both occasions. I'm considering selling some through them, no experience of that yet though.

I haven’t used the new sensor myself but from what I can gather image quality is pretty much indistinguishable between the two, low light auto focus is improved and you get some different film simulations.

I don’t think the lack of buttons would bother me, it has shutter speed and exposure comp on the body, aperture on the lens and you can map iso to the front dial, then you have a couple of buttons to assign to whatever you use most.

XS10 is more DSLR style, has a PASM dial and I think it has IBIS.

Basically within each generation of cameras they all have the same sensor whether you buy the flagship or the entry level model so you always get the same image quality. You just have to choose which body style suits you the best.

I made my first foray into Fuji cameras last year and picked up an XE3 with the 35mm f1.4 and have been really happy with it. Image quality is excellent and the controls are really intuitive. Auto focus is ok, a bit slow with the older lenses like mine - but not dreadful.

The only thing I'd say is to try and handle one if you can, while it's great that they're so compact and portable, I find it a bit small for my hands. They make grips and thumb rests etc which help but I'm planning to trade in for an X Pro2/3 at some point. XE4 is a bit of a departure in terms of controls, quite a few of the custom buttons have been removed so the operation is even simpler, if you like mapping things to buttons the older bodies are they way to go.

Is that because of a bad experience with one? Or just a taste thing?

Good info thanks! Sounds similar to my choices really, also considering a Mazda3 but haven't managed to test drive one yet.

I think it's a mk 7.5, has updated lights clusters, apple car play etc so a bit more up to date.

@jsabine thanks yeah that was my thinking, interior looks pristine so I doubt it was a cab! I asked about the previous owner and usage but they didn't really know any details which made me a bit suspicious.

@Libraio Great tip thanks - I'll check that, no mention of any belt changes anywhere so far

I basically just want a comfy reliable family car so defaulted to the Golf, was suprised how much of premium they command over similar cars.

As a total newb to car ownership would you go for a 2014 VW Golf with 50,000 miles on the clock or a 2017 model with 80,000 for the same price (£9.5k) Both have a FSH and similar trim level. The older one is a 1.4l TSI petrol engine and the newer a 1.0l version with similar performance but lower emissions.

I doubt I’ll do more than 5,000 miles per year and plan to keep the car for a good few years.

No problem, enjoy it!
