Hi, I’m looking to buy a general-purpose camera, preferably a Fuji due to its good SOOC colors. I’ve never had a DSLR or mirrorless before - only bridge cameras, point-and-shoots and crappy phones. Is this a good option for a beginner?
The kit contains a Fujifilm X-T100 camera and a FUJINON XC 15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens, both used, for 400€. It’s hard to find second-hand Fujis here in Romania so I don’t have a lot of options for this brand.
I’m buying the camera for indoor pics of my cats, selfies, travel and events. Proper color straight out of the camera is very important to me. Fun filters are nice to have. I miss the superzoom from bridge cameras but I know that’s hard to get on DSLRs & mirrorless.
Do you have any advice for me, please?
I can’t comment on Fuji cameras or lenses, having never used them:
If you’re going to edit photos on a computer, most lens filters are unnecessary since identical results can be achieved in post. The exception is a circular polarizing filter: It blocks sun glare from glass, water, and other reflective surfaces, allowing detail underneath to be captured which is otherwise lost to the film/sensor and cannot be recovered in editing. I’m new to photography, and only just learned about polarizing filters. They’ve given me much more control over certain outdoor shots and are pretty cheap. Light emitted by most screens these days is also polarized, so a polarizing filter lets you adjust how bright a screen will appear.
Thank you, good that you told me, I was wondering what to do about glare. I don’t plan on editing, I hate doing it tbh. I like seeing exactly what I’ll be shooting as I do it, so I love the EVF and in-camera (digital) filters.
