Hey guys, I’m honored to again be the Guest Blogger on Scott Kelby’s blog.  I really enjoy reaching out to the KelbyOne family, and it is always a great experience.  Jump over if you have time and checkout the entry!  http://scottkelby.com

 

 

I bought myself a Christmas gift, the new Fuji X100T in gorgeous Black!  I never owned the X100 but did have a X100s which I absolutely loved.  I read all of Zack Arias’ information on the T and I trust his word implicitly,  so it was easy to spring for the latest model!  The X100T is a perfect camera, everything you need, nothing more.  Every photographer needs an easy camera to carry all the time.  You really need to “always” be ready to capture those incredible, unplanned moments!  Photography for me is not a game, it’s a passion, and seeing and capturing that incredible light, or funny sign, or wonderful expression on a grandchild’s face, I have to be ready.  I now have the perfect tool for that!

 

 

 

 

Let me share my favorite Christmas Card, I got it from Jim and Sue Haverstock a few years ago.  You guys know just how much I love old rusted trucks, and Christmas, and this card sits on my desk to this day.  Every time I look at it I feel that warm, wonderful, Christmas feeling, I’m also reminded how much the Haverstocks mean to me.  Christmas is a time of remembering all the things we have to be so very, very thankful for, the birth of a Savior, a second chance at life after we’ve fouled it up hopelessly, and the friends that stand by us through thick and thin!  It seems Merry is not a big enough word!!!

 

Blessings,

    Merry does seem tame. How about a Christmas filled with inexpressible joy!

    Will you quite spending my money!!! 🙂 Have been on the fence in regards to the T, but your reasoning has pretty much settled it for me. Do you have experience with either the wide converter or the teleconverter on these? Or does the size-gain negate the purpose of this camera in the first place?

      My friend Zack Arias raves about them, if I need other focal lengths I go back to the X-E2 or the X-T1s
      I reserve the X100YT for one camera no extra lenses only!

    I’m giving some serious consideration to the X100T as well when I want something smaller than my X-T1 with the 18-135. Do you recommend it over the X-T1 with a 23 mm lens?

  5. Bill, are you aware of the Fuji firmware upgrades out yesterday?
