For the last several years, I’ve enjoyed photography using a lot of Canon gear – both the point and shoot PowerShot family as well as Canon’s “prosumer” line of digital SLR’s. My Canon 5D Mark II has served me very well – a great camera body and the Canon lenses are top notch in terms of optical quality. I’ve also experimented a bit with Nikon – acquiring a Nikon D600 DSLR for a trip to Havana earlier this year. Once again, a great camera – and lenses to match. I’m now looking to sell my Canon and Nikon gear – I’ve moved on. To what? I’ve become interested in the next generation of so-called “mirrorless” cameras. Unlike the big “digital single lens reflex” (DSLR) cameras, this next generation is much small in physical size – because they shed the complex optical image path of traditional DSLRs. Instead, the mirrorless cameras use the combination of sensors and electronic viewfinders to deliver a more compact package – and, as it turns out, a more enjoyable shooting experience in the field. Fujifilm is one of the leaders in this new mirrorless category – making a range of cameras that provide great ergonomics in terms of shooting performance along with beautiful optics and sensors. From the Fujifilm X20 “point and shoot” camera to the new Fujifilm X-E2, Fuji is earning accolades from photographers for the delight their cameras deliver. Fujifilm’s X100S rangefinder camera is yet another example – a beautiful camera with great styling and superb performance when shooting – especially for street photography…….
