On London 2023 trip I take two cameras with me the Fujifilm X-T30ii and the Nikon S9900. From accessing Instagram I note some posts using Ricoh GRiii cameras and from there I search and read more about it, then I search more and find the Fujifilm XF10. I start watching videos on YouTube about these two cameras and doing some comparison, hearing what other YouTubers are saying, trying to select one to be my new pocket stylish compact camera.

Nikon S9900: I think or let’s say the two things I don’t like about the Nikon S9900 are: The F starts at 3.7. And the AF is slow and sometimes even not getting focused.

I take the Nikon S9900 camera out for a one-day shooting set to Black and White, it was slow in focusing but it convince me that I can take 60% – 85% of good photos with it. It has a very good zoom range and sharp wide as 5mm images in outdoor photos [Very bad indoor/low light].

Nikon S9900 is a pocket-size camera with 5mm to 30x zoom and a tilt/flip screen that I think gives an advantage on sunny days with a lack of a viewfinder.

The output of the camera is very good, all the photos here are taken with Nikon S9900 and can be clicked to show in full size. In some cases I went (+ – )1/3 stop, then I found that just being in default is a better choice.

So now, Ricoh GR3, Fujifilm XF10, or Keep my Nikon S9900 .. I think I will keep using the Nikon S9900 for another one or two years.

What i am waiting for: I will wait for new version of one of the two cameras Fujifilm XF10 or the Ricoh GR3, looking for: view finder, image stabilisation or sensor upgrades.
