FUJI X100T - first impressions and images

I bought a Nikon D80 with a Nikkor 18-200 mm about 8 years ago because I wanted to take it with me on vacation and not have to carry multiple lenses. The combination has never let me down. At the end of 2015, the idea of ​​having something new came to me. After all, technology has also developed further.

The following options presented themselves to me. Continue with an SLR, and if so, switch to full format or continue with DX? But which lens? It was clear to me that the lens would bring about the real change. Another option would be a system camera.

I then had the opportunity to test a Sony alpha 6000. What immediately bothered me was the long switch-on time and the fact that there was no optical viewfinder. A friend was kind enough to give me a Nikon D750 with 35mm F1.4 and 50mm F1.4 fixed focal length to test. Great combination, especially in the dark. It's impressive what's still possible, but you really have to carry it. But the test did teach me one thing. A 35mm fixed focal length is very well suited to my style of photography.

At some point, of course, you'll come across Leica cameras. What I love about them is the ability to take photos without any frills. The fact that this one is completely out of the ordinary, even though I didn't take the price into account in my previous reviews, is another story. That's how I ended up with FUJI. A compact camera with a 23mm fixed focal length (equivalent to 35mm 35mm) and an optical viewfinder.

As the title says, I bought a FUJI X100T. I don't want to write another review here, there are already very detailed reviews of it online. But what struck me immediately when I looked at the first pictures was how sharp they were. I wasn't used to that from my old Nikon. The weight is ridiculous compared to a DSLR and the optical viewfinder is on board.

Now for the pictures.
