If you want to capture those special moments of your children then (like me) you probably want to see a real jump up in image quality from what you can get on your phone camera. But not all lenses are equal. Basic zoom lenses, while versatile, don’t always separate your photos from the crowd or … Read more
I originally bought the Fujifilm 50mm f/2 to complete my set of small, weather-sealed primes alongside the 23mm f/2 and 35mm f/2. Both of those lenses impressed — more so the 35mm f/2, which I found sharp, fast to focus, and great value. Both of these lenses featured in the best Fujifilm lenses article. To … Read more
Fujifilm X-T5 vs Nikon Z6III – Which Should You Buy? The Fujifilm X-T5 is, in my opinion, Fuji’s best photographer’s camera. The image quality is excellent, the handling is unique in today’s market, and the autofocus, despite what some say, is more than good enough in most real situations. But the internet will tell you … Read more
Last Update November 14th 2025:I’ve continued shooting with the XF 56mm f/1.2 WR this year, it’s a lens I’ll likley never sell. My impressions remain the same: the autofocus isn’t as quick as Fuji’s linear-motor primes, but the image quality wide open is still fantastic — and every time I use it, I’m reminded why … Read more
Living and working as a photographer in the Philippines has taught me a lot about what really matters in a camera — and it’s why, after owning almost every major system, I still choose to shoot Fujifilm for my own work.

Last updated October 21st 2025: This article is based on real-world testing. I’ve used the Fujifilm X100VI since its release, and the OM System OM-3 was tested extensively throughout August — including on my latest trip to Moalboal in the Philippines. I know some people will say “why compare a fixed-lens camera to an interchangeable-lens … Read more
Updated October 2025: This guide follows my minimalist Fuji philosophy — instead of chasing every lens, build a simple 1, 2 or 3 lens kit that actually gets used. Last Updated November 2025: Of all the articles that I have written this year, this one remains one of my favourites as it is still highly … Read more
Last updated November 2025: Another year has nearly passed and yet I still find myself using my X-T5 as much as ever. If 2026 brings an X-T6 then I will happily test it out but if it doesn’t then I’m still more than happy to carry on using my X-T5 for another year. Even in … Read more

But here’s the thing: I’ve lived with it for over a year. I’ve owned the X100T, the X100V, and I still use other cameras from Nikon, OM … Read more
