Why wouldn't I want a camera? That's the question you should be asking. Cameras are beautiful objects to keep and to hold, and each one is unique. You could have two of the same type of camera, and there would be no guarantee that the picture would be the same. This is why I want to start hoarding them, but, me being fifteen and without a job and all, it is a rather difficult thing to be able to do.
Photography is just a hobby of mine and I wouldn't say I am extraordinarily good at it either. I use my camera(s) for multiple things throughout my week, let alone month or year. I use them for the obvious reasons like special events and holidays and things, but I also like to go into the creative aspect and take a close up of a leaf, or lay on the road or on my back in the middle of the woods and take a photo of the trees, or stand for over half an hour in my drive way tossing rocks into a fairly large puddle. It can be tedious, but I love the end result and being creative can change your aspect on some things and it let's you perceive things in different ways.
The camera I decided to use (considering I have loads of non-existent money stored in a bank somewhere) is the Fuji X100T. I'm usually not a huge fan of the Fuji Film company, but I like the features and look of this camera and would be thrilled to have it at my disposal. This camera has an optical viewfinder, which is always a soft spot for me, and has a retro feel and look to it. It takes retro like pictures as well which is why I chose it over the Panasonic LX100. It takes a picture without drawing too much attention and without making a lot of noise which other cameras tend to do. This makes it much easier to be discreet about taking someone's picture. Sometimes the best portraits are ones the subject doesn't even know about!
The review I read makes me yearn for this camera even more. It goes on to say how the Fuji developers had made the X100T with a large sensor an no anti-aliasing filter, which makes it great for capturing detail. I have also really wanted to get into street photography, and this camera is said to be the perfect one for both street and wedding photographers. There is also a new function called Classic Chrome, which is used to recreate the look of slide film with muted tones and deeper colours and I'm just really in love with this camera.
I found the Fuji X100T at a number of websites and stores, ( Henry's, Vistek, Amazon, and the Fujifilm website to be exact) and at every site but Amazon the prices were all the same. Amazon is selling this camera for $1 650.45, while everywhere else was selling it for $1 499.99. I know I would most likely buy this camera for the latter.
I might get depressed now that I found this camera and know I will never be able to have it, but if you, random person other than my former classmates and teacher who happens upon this blog, have the money to attain a camera of this price, you should definitely consider buying it (and then send it to me free of charge)!
