Ricoh GR3, Fujifilm XF10 or Keep my Niko S9900
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.

London Trip 2023
Hours from now and I will be in a plane going to London with family.
During this visit I am taking two cameras with me, the Fujifilm X-T30ii and the Nikon S9900 (for its pocket size and zoom), I am thinking to set up the Nikon s9900 for Black and white Photos, were the X-T30ii will be for general and kids photography. With Fuji X-T30ii I per-set 4 film simulations to use, I take those recipes from the net or FujiXweekly then tweak them to meet my taste. A common change I always doing is to set the: Grain set to Off, and Sharpness set to +2 or +3, also I set the Clarity set to Off so there will not be any delay after taking the shot. Once I start taking photos I may do some changes and adjustments, so now I will list the film simulation names and later will post the recipes. 1. Kodakporta400. 2. 1970’s. 3. ilford HP5. [B&W i will change the Apatuer if needed] 4. CineStill800T.

Why X-T30ii NOT Z FC
Subject: Why X-T30ii NOT Z FC
[:. Sea all of my Cameras and Lenses Here .:]
Starting: I start searching, reading and doing some reviews on YouTube. Should I take it? The thing that attracted me the most was the Size and Look/ Style. I was thinking on the Nikon Z FC that has a Small Sexy camera with ONE lens (low f range) for indoor family occasions. Through my searching I fond Fujifilm X-T30ii and some comparisons to the Z fc, I got confused about it, X-T30ii it had the Size I am looking for, the style I am looking for and the ONE lens range I was thinking off.
Comparing: This was easy task with all videos and reviews on the Net about both Nikon Z FC and Fujifilm X-T30ii. The main point that equalize both sides from the beginning was that if I choose Z FC I can’t use my DX lenses (I own the amazing Nikkor 35mm f2.4). This factor let me looking more to the X-T30ii and it’s output photos. Imedetly I notes some shiny photos from X-T30ii, why it’s photos looks different? Then I came to the the Film Simulations, OK .. , I was doing all this tuning to some of my D7100 kids/family photos in the lightroom application (some basic easy editing) … ahhha .. I can do it with Fujifilm X-T30ii and store it in the camera, then select the effect I want before taking the shoot. !!! This is totally NEW for my knowledge! At that point I stop comparing and I start digging into Fujifilm Film Simulations and recipes and sample photos .. waaw .. “This Should be my Next Camera”.. I said to myself. .. And That what Happened.
First Impression: Yes, this is what I was looking for. Fujifilm X-T30ii with ONE Fujinon 18-55mm Lens. Small, Compact and Sxy-Style camera for Famliy Oocations.. and More.
