Me new pride and joy

Sweet! After decades of using SLR's and DSLR's I'm craving something powerful but simple, with an old school feel. Your purchase is one that's on my short list. I can't figure out why cameras with that look and feel are so expensive compared to a DSLR.

This is only 16 megapixels too. Having said that, huge megapixel counts are overrated. The image quality in the X100T is stunning for a point and shoot. They say the best camera is the one you have on you, and I can carry this around in my bag. Small cameras are also much more fun for street photography - you don't feel so intrusive. Un-Kardashian people hate having big lenses shoved in their faces. 
 
Apparently a pro-tip for working with RAW files from this camera btw is to slam the "detail" slider in Lightroom (if you're using Lightroom) up to 100%. Just putting that out there, lol - I pick up these details all over the place and remember them. 

What camera did you use to take a picture of your camera?

I've heard that's just smoke and mirrors. Especially the mirror part.

Hi,
 
For years, I lived on a Canon AE-1. I'm now looking at a nice SLR/Digital camera ... so I can do some more rock music, if it comes around ... and the like. All in all, your camera will require a reasonable knowledge of F-Stops and Shutter Speeds, and if you have it, it will be just fine. I'm going to go away from the 35mm film altogether ... as the whole process is boring and difficult and there are not many labs that can do the film properly anymore ... Portland has 2 of them left, and one of them is slowing down because they have no students left.
 
I'm more than likely going to get me a video camera, since I am into film, and if you look at my pictures, I have a touch for the "moment", which comes from directing, and working with actors ... and while I like to have that on a regular camera, it is much more difficult to get if you don't know the numbers and where the setup is supposed to be ... but the only thing I needed to remember was 6ft, and then come up or down from there on the F-Stop and Shutter Speeds ... if need be ... specially with a flash.

My Canon, and most DSLR cameras do a great job on video work. My friends son went to study film production at university and they did most of their initial work using a DSLR. Sony is making some amazing stuff these days.
