Hello to everyone at Shuttertalk. My name is Pete, and I live in Norfolk, in the east of the UK. After decades of using film cameras with assorted lenses, I bought a Fuji S5 Pro digital a few years back. More recently, I have tried to rediscover my joy in photography, by getting a smaller compact camera, the Fuji X30, which I hope to always have on me. (Once the weather here improves)
It has been a case of so far, so good, and it's a great little budget camera, with a wealth of features. Despite the small sensor size, it has produced some good images, and I am excited to try some more.

I have only used it briefly so far, but enjoy the film simulation modes, and the manual zoom ring and aperture ring. I like the retro feel a lot, but did find the menu very confusing at first (I am getting on a bit) so got some good advice from The Fuji Forum. Despite the small sensor, I am happy enough with the results for my blog and e-mailing purposes. I tried to attach a shot to show you, but the files are too large, apparently. The XT-1 is a nice looking camera, but I am trying to just carry around one small compact now. Perhaps an upgrade to the X100-T sometime in the future, who knows?
Regards, Pete.

Regards, Pete. the fuji sensors are very nice, i can't wait to see what you've captured. it's probably perfect for your blog. their retro styling is pretty sweet too.
the xt00t is my small compact to the x-t1. it was between the x100t and the x30, bt the x100t had all of the dial and knobs on the outside and that was more important to me than the zoom lens. i hate menus.
