Fujifilm X-T5 vs Nikon Z6III – Which Should You Buy? Last Updated: May 2026 I’ve continued shooting with both the Fujifilm X-T5 and Nikon Z6III since first publishing this comparison, alongside cameras like the Nikon Z8, Nikon Zf and Fujifilm GFX100S. That extra use has made the differences between these two cameras clearer rather than … Read more
Last Update February 23rd 2026: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. I’ve just written an article talking about why I still shoot the X100VI. Over … Read more
Last Update May 7th 2026: I’ve now spent much longer shooting with the Fujifilm XF 18mm f/1.4 WR across family photography, travel, landscapes and everyday life, and my opinion of it has only improved with time. Despite now shooting extensively with multiple systems including high-end Nikon full-frame gear, this is still one of the Fuji … Read more
Last updated January 12th 2026: 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
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 May 2026: Of all the articles that I have written, this one remains one of my favourites as it is still highly relevant and its intent is … Read more
Last updated June 2026: Another year has passed and yet I still find myself using my X-T5 as much as ever. I have now added the Fuji 16-55mm f/2.8 II lens to my kit. Is the Fujifilm X-T5 Still Worth Buying in 2026? As I write this in June 2026, the X-T5 remains one of … Read more
It’s a fair question. The internet has been flooded with praise for Fuji’s little retro-looking camera, and at times the hype has felt louder than the shutter itself. 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
Updated April 2026: This review has been refreshed to reflect current pricing, performance, and continued real-world use of the XF 35mm f/2 on the latest Fujifilm bodies. It remains one of the best-value standard primes in the Fuji lineup — compact, reliable, and still the smart choice for most shooters. Is the Fuji 35mm f2 … Read more
Last Updated February 2026: Despite using a lot of cameras while writing articles for my website, the X-T5 remains the camera that I reach for when I’m with my family on personal trips and, the one I enjoy using the most, well, alongside my X100VI too. What I’ve found since moving to Scotland a couple … Read more
