Over the past few weeks I’ve spent a lot of time shooting Nikon cameras. The Nikon Z8 in particular has become a regular companion on local walks around Perthshire, often paired with either the excellent 20mm f/1.8 S or one of Nikon’s other lenses. As a result, the Fujifilm X100VI hasn’t seen as much use … Read more
Arriving in Scotland It’s been exactly one week since we finally touched down in Scotland. All those weeks and months of preparation didn’t really take the stress out of the move, nor the 28-hour journey back. We’ve left a lot of things in the Philippines — some not important, others more sentimental in value. Despite … Read more
I own both the Fujifilm X100VI and the Ricoh GR IV, and I’ve also shot extensively with the Ricoh GR III. Recently, I’ve been using the GR IV quite a lot and spent time comparing it directly to the GR III. While it is a better camera overall, I’ll be honest — the updates feel … Read more
Over the past year I’ve had the chance to shoot with a wide range of cameras — from the Ricoh GR series through to Fujifilm’s GFX system. I discussed the Ricoh GRIV vs the X100VI to see which is better. More recently I’ve been spending time with Nikon Z bodies, and before that the OM … Read more
Last updated 2nd March 2026: I’ve continued shooting Fujifilm heavily throughout 2025 and now in to 2026.

Intro Last Updated March 2026: I moved to the Scottish Highlands at the start of 2026 and the first camera that I went out and shot with was my X100VI. I still enjoy using the X100VI as much as ever which is why I still rate it as the number one compact camera. I’ve just … Read more
Like many photographers, I spent years chasing the perfect kit—switching between Olympus, Sony, Nikon, and even building out a high-end system with the Nikon Z8 and Zf. But over time, I found myself reaching for one system more than any other: Fujifilm. These days, it’s the one I rely on most for my everyday work. … Read more
I’ve now owned the Fujifilm X100VI for over two years. When I bought it, I already owned a Fujifilm X-T5. On paper, that made very little sense. The X-T5 offered interchangeable lenses, similar image quality, and arguably far greater versatility. But that wasn’t why I bought the X100VI. I’d previously owned both the X100T and … Read more
