Because of the size, weight and mechanical dials people might prefer Fuji over FF Sony cameras.


True, the dials are nice. And I just noticed that the Fuji camera has a LCD on top, which is a big plus for me. I used to have a Pentax K20D and found that to be very useful.

Although I tend to just shoot on auto-exposure and bracket 3 shots, 0EV, -2EV, +2EV. One of those will usually give me what I want, without any messing around with dials.


Indeed. The Fuji APS-C cameras are a delight because of their small size and excellent handling (lenses too; you can fit a couple in a jacket pocket).

FF cameras are great, but a totally different thing.


I test drove a variety of cameras renting them from Lensrental to find the perfect travel camera.

I took a XT-3 with me to Tokyo. While it’s a nice camera, I still found it too bulky but without the benefits of FF.

I ended up going with a A7R3 combined with a RX100. I leave the hotel room with the former gets taken when I know there’s something important I want to capture, if it’s at night, or when I know bulk isn’t an issue. The latter is taken when bulk is of concern.
