Sick and tired of fujifilm fags and their toy cameras. Might as well go full retard and grab a meme43 camera.

this is pretty good.

also check out,

Sony RX100, Fuji X70, Ricoh ect.

I would stick with your XE1 and get better lenses DESU.
Get a decent bag and bring it with you wherever you go, I do the same with my XT1.

The GR.

sell the XE-1 and upgrade to the XE-2(S if budget allowed) plus get the 18 f2 or the 27 f2.8 bro, or just skip the body and just invest in lenses would be fine too if you're okay with the XE-1's crappy autofocusing
>>
>>2861193
Best answer so far.
>>
GR (not the II)
>>
Just grabbed a GR II and I'm not complaining. I have gone thru all the Fuji's and while they were fun and the xt1 with the 27mm was pretty good for street use, the GR is always with me now, and in my pocket. So much more convenient to use and the grip is great. Feels like an extension of the hand.

Any phone made in the last 2 years? and keep your XE1?
LG G4 is decent, I carry a travel tripod and never shoot past iso 50.

srsly, be less poor. The GR's a screaming deal.

Pic related is better and cheaper, and will allow you to go legit moriyama mode.

>excerpt from the scriptures
This is Nikon's sharpest manual-focus wide angle lens.

Nikon let their designers go wild on this one. Instead of a simple 5 element design that every other 28mm f/2.8 lens uses, including the original AF version, this lens has EIGHT elements in EIGHT groups. This allows it a level of correction seen in no other Nikon wide angle.

No other Nikon 28mm lens performs this well: the 28mm f/1.4D AF has some barrel distortion and really is optimized for night photography, and every other 28mm lens just isn't designed as thoroughly.

This AI-s lens (1981-present) is completely different from the older AI lens. Nikon made a big upgrade to the optics when they upgraded it to AI-s, and they really pulled out all the stops.

Not only does this Nikkor uses 8 elements, it also uses floating elements to optimize its performance as it is focused at every distance.

This is also Nikon's closest-focusing lens, with a close-focus distance of 7 inches (0.6 ft), or 20 cm.

There is no sharper manual-focus wide angle lens made by Nikon, and it is the only Nikon wide angle, along with the 15mm f/3.5, that is completely free from barrel distortion at ordinary distances.

Optically this is an almost perfect lens, and one of the most perfect lenses you can get to fit a Nikon camera.

That's not really pocketable at all

This is cheaper and more practical. If he doesn't care about focusing he could just get an mju-ii or one of those yashicas

ken?

Yes, my son?

>more practical.
Eh, I'd say a real SLR is the more 'practical' tool for photography most of the time, seeing as you can actually see the picture you're taking, and change lenses, and make long exposures, and attach real flashes.
Also, the Nikon lense is vastly superior to that Oly, and on a par with the GR's lense, but on full frame.
That Oly (and all other 3/4 element compact lenses) are really only sharp in the centre of the frame, and vignette heavily, until they're well stopped down.

>Eh, I'd say a real SLR is the more 'practical' tool for photography most of the time

It's not practical for carrying in a pocket all the time. You pretty much have to carry an slr with a strap or in a bag

Also the XA doesn't vignette at anything after f4 and are fairly sharp not just in the center especially at 5.6. The mju-ii is definitely the better olympus as far as lens sharpness but you don't have any control

I'd rather always have a compact in my pocket than having an slr 60% of the time

>I'd rather always have a compact in my pocket than having an slr 60% of the time
Why not both?
>>
>>2862092
Why not some sort of mirrorless with that nikon lens and a 6x9 of some sort

Going just a compact and nothing else is real fast. I'll always have a gr or mju-ii or something on me
>>
>>2862092
This. Best of both worlds.
