I received a new camera yesterday. Should I have bought it? Oh, you want to know what I take pictures of and also what it will do that my current camera won't. The answers: everything; I don't know.
Seriously, I got a Fuji X-T30 with 18-55mm lens. It arrived with free overnight delivery from Amazon. The reviews have been very good, and the comments by members here have also been very good. I spent only about thirty minutes with it, and I'll be gone all day today (no photo ops), so it's still a stranger to me.
Some comments:
*The controls are definitely different, nothing like Nikon. I guess the controls and Menu will take some getting used to.
*I like having the shutter speed dial right on top - just like old film cameras.
*It didn't come with a battery charger, just a cable. The cable connects with what looks like a micro USB, but it isn't. I'll have to find out what it is and buy more. I'll also be buying extra batteries and a charger.
*I was thinking this would be a good travel/compact camera, like my a6000. Nope! The body is compact, but the lens is larger than the camera.
*The two manuals (English and Spanish) are over 300 pages long, nice to see.
*I'll be spending time on YouTube looking at setup suggestions, since the Menu and controls are so foreign to me.
*The lens cap is similar to the one I hate on the a6000. It's almost impossible to get it onto the lens, especially with the lens hood in place. If Xume makes a magnetic adapter that small, I might get one of them and a clear filter. I'll use that instead of a lens cap.
*Eventually, I'll have to get a zoom lens of 200mm or more.
*Depending how I like the small leather(?) strap, I might use an OP/TECH that I already have.
*From the small amount of time I've spent with it, I like it, and I look forward to doing a lot of shooting tomorrow. I think this and the D750 will be my two main cameras, and the a6000 will go to a new home.
If any of you have any tips or suggestions, I'd be glad to get them. I'm sure comments related to the X-T20 and X-T3/2 would apply.
