Day 081 - My New Retro Love

So my new toy arrived a couple of days ago, the Fujifilm X20, but I haven't had time to get a memory card for it, so I've been getting used to how it works, and trying to make it do a little bit moe than your average point and shoot. It's lovely, and although being a very different beast to my SLR I think I am going to enjoy using it.
Oooh, VERY nice! Have fun.

Is the lens better than your SLR? It would be fun learning to use this but you have to develop the film don't you?

Oh nice. Very sexy!

Very good looking partner for you!! Can't wait to see what you achieve with it :)

@gailmmeek @amandal @missk Hopefully not too long now before some results will be up on here :)

@maggiemae Maggie, this is a digital 'point and shoot' compact, essentially. It has been built into the current Fuji X range of cameras, based on the old rangefinder analogue film cameras, but they are actually digital cameras. The SLR is still way better, but I will be travelling a lot with work over the summer and don't want to carry it around with me. With this I can travel with it, it still has many good functions such as a wide iris (f2) as well as being quite compact and very nice to look at :)

Very cool and thanks for the description!
March 23rd, 2013  
Ooo, want!!

Nice "Toy" :) Let us know how you like it. I've sold my DSLR in favor of my Sony NEX.

@endrem Yes I saw you were using the NEX...the smaller cameras are getting more powerful, but I won't swap my 7D for the one above...i'm hoping they can 'work together' for me :)

It's super stylish - you'd look good on the Cote d'Azur with it.
March 23rd, 2013  
cool - look forward to the shots you get from this!
March 23rd, 2013  
Very cool new toy indeed..maybe after I master my current toy this would be a new one.. like the processing in this shot!

@michaelelliott Thank you. Hoping to get some good results out of it.

Great retro look.

@boxplayer I like it..it's half the reason I bought it!
March 24th, 2013  
so this is digital? very cool!
March 25th, 2013  
@jsw0109 Yes Jeff, it's part of the digital Fuji Finepix X range. It's lovely. I think it's got more appeal from a looks point of view, it doesn't compare to my 7D but I am reluctant to travel to much with that over the next few months. This is my new travel companion. I had on it all day at work today so it's great.
March 25th, 2013  
That looks like a great new toy. Have fun playing with it.
March 26th, 2013  
Oooooh! Have fun!!!

@nicolecampbell @aprilmilani Thank you both...its very different to the SLR but I do like it!
