X100F best traveling street photography camera

X100F best traveling street photography camera

According to national geographic, fujifilm X100F is the best traveling street photography camera in 2017. This is no surprise because X100 series is well known in the street photography category.

National Geographic Tom O'Brien says X100F is significant update over the previous version X100T, we got new sensor 24MP X-Trans version 3, new battery NP-W126S which is bigger than the previous model but compatible with other X-Series system, new joystick for quick moving the focus point area.

FYI, Tom O'Brien is a mechanical engineer and the photo engineer for National Geographic magazine. He designs and builds custom equipment for the photographers of the magazine. So this guy works with a lot of cameras and knows about camera for sure.
Pick for Travelers: The X100F is the fourth in a line of beloved cameras. This significant update brings with it the powerful 24 MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor used in Fuji’s flagship cameras. It also brings it a very needed autofocus system overhaul upgrade that makes this iteration nimble and quick when shooting on the fly. Other noticeable improvements include using a much larger battery, additional control buttons and a joystick that is commonly found on high end cameras. The X100F continues the cult-like following of its aged siblings while elevating itself to be a technologically powerful camera.
Pro Tip: This camera thrives in run-and-gun, sly photography. To make sure you get the most out of your travel shooting, bring some gaffers tape to cover up your logos, a wrist strap, and a hot-shoe-mounted thumb rest for those of you with bigger hands. Personally, these accessories round out this camera nicely for me in a wide range of shooting environments.
