First real camera in 12 years [X-E5]
Here are some photos from a recent trip to the Oregon coast. My wife and dog were great test subjects while I got used to my new X-E5!
My last camera was an entry level Nikon that I sold around 12 years ago. This time I wanted something that could give me great photos without too much post processing, since I remember that being my least favorite part of photography. I still shoot in RAW + JPEG so I have the ability to edit if I want, but the JPEG quality coming out of Fuji cameras was really appealing and the main reason I went for Fuji over the other brands. I ended up getting an X-E5 with the 23mm f2.8 lens, and all I can say is wow. I've only had it for a week, and I'm already super impressed.
