Here is how my Fugi X100F stacks up to my Canon 5Dmk4

For anyone doubting the ability of the Fugi sensor here are the edits from an abandon junk yard in Sweden from yesterday.

The first image is from my X100F and the second image is from my Canon 5Dmk4 and 50mm f/1.2L.

Both were shot within a few minutes. I wanted to compare the end quality after post processing.

This is the ultimate street and travel mirror-less... and leaf shutter to boot.

Nice.
X100F is a beautiful old-school style equivalent Focal length 35mm camera with new school tech. Agree on portability, ease of shooting one-handed, travel etc.

...however, as long as I can haul it, I will still take my 5d4 with lenses and a sling because I cannot bear the thought of missing the shot I want because I dont have the lens I need.

For 35mm focal length in reasonable light, good cellphone cameras are becoming competitive for what the x100F can provide so long as you only post for social media or make smaller than 8x10 prints.

A mirrorless and a 24-105 with my cellphone will likely be my travel/street kit once the ratio of flexibility to exhaustion/inconvenience swings to the right. Perhaps the x100F could be my choice....or even a rx100....

For now, maximum flex and suffer the clutter , weight and inconvenience of a kluge of lenses and filters :-)

Actually the focal length is about a versatile as it gets. I took the Canon and a 70-200 prime 50 prime for a walk around. The Fuji got more shots over all, and the end images when pixel peeping are as good and actually better for noise control... that was the point of the post.

No... a cell phone doesn't have a leaf shutter or many of the other features.

Life is much easier with but, I still grind away at two MK 4's and about 10 different lenses for my pro work.

Agree on the leaf shutter, especially when you want to do low F in bright sun, very specific capabilities not found in normal dslr/mirrorless/cellphone.....and when I walk around, my 35mm f1.4 tends to be by my side on a strap....and I usually have another body with the 70-200 mounted in a slingbag and I pop it out as needed. (My walk around setup in Thailand and Romania)

..but that's 2 bodies and 2 lenses.

...too many shots that I see that need the compression or the added reach that 200 brings....its just too good to give up :-)

...but I agree, I take more with the 35 than with the 70-200.

The Fuji x100F is excellent for noise also, I think the leaf shutter helps in that regard with the way it manages light. Not sure if the sensor is better or the way the shutter exposes the light to the sensor at equivalent F and SS values.
