Sorry if it came across like that, it was a question more than a statement, after your D90 comment, I'd turn up anywhere with anything if it did the job (as I am sure you would after reading your other posts). I've got boxes of old cameras but I only change when the new(er) model offers me something my current camera cant do etc. Which is why I have a Fuji XT20 (replaced an XT10 which was a toe in the water thing that blew up) and a 5D3, much as I'd like a 5D4, Canon FF mirrorless or a 1DXmk3 none of which can I afford or do anything I particularly need from them, others do and that's fine or others just want the latest/greatest, again that's fine if it floats your boat.Just a little worried that I was being mistaken for a snob, as I am a person who would be seen as purchasing mainly entry level items. Even the same when it came to cars, I would only purchase the lowest car in the range, and the base model, I would even forgo carpets and a radio, if it meant I could get it cheaper. I don't even wear a watch, because it is cheaper to ask my missus the time.
I always hold my G7X down at waist level with the screen flipped up.
John, I think it's about time you bought a new camera anyway.
I have got two or three on my shortlist, all pre owned models. Just down to Sensor preference, just trying weigh things up.
The XC range of lens offer great value for money, especially 2nd hand with a 1 yr guarantee from the likes of Wex. Having had an XT10 from them that died I couldnt fault their after sales service in refunding me, I went on to buy an XT20 which I am now using with 16-50 and 50-230 XC lenses. Admittedly the XC lenses probably wont stand up to much abuse.I am seriously looking at the Fujifilm X-T100.
I am seriously looking at buying the X-T100, not as a replacement for the D3300, or the Canon G7X, but rather as a replacement of my old Fuji X10, that died a little while ago. However I probably did get the Canon G7X, as a replacement for the old Fuji, but it does not seem to have done that.
My old X10 just felt good in the hands, and yes the optical viewfinder was completely useless, but I loved the SOOC images it produced, even if I did get the wiggly wormy plasticky effects now and again, I forgave it, most of the time.
Just thinking, is the X-T100 a cheap and cheerful way to get back into the Fuji experience? I am NOT going to add extra fancy expensive lenses, just keep it as it is, with the kit lens.
NOT really looking for condescending, and or rude belittling remarks, I will already own up to being a man of simple and frugal means.
I must admit, I did look longingly at the X100F in the Classifieds. But way out of my price bracket at the moment.
I doubt you will receive such comments, it's a nice camera, good luck and let us know how you get onI am seriously looking at the Fujifilm X-T100.

Is that a grey import?
That was news I did not need to hear
I'm in a similar position, plus a raft of Canon FF glass, including some L series stuff, whilst I could add an adapter to a Canon mirrorless body and mount my existing lenses the overall weigh/size reduction would be minimal at best and I'm not about to buy a set of FF mirrorless lenses, so that was the reason I went Fuji as an addition rather than a replacement. At the moment if the conditions are rough and I go to a once in a lifetime thing I feel more confident in using the Canon setup but I can see a time when that will be less and less likely as I get used to the Fuji (and it does produce lovely Jpegs too).
There's also a Viltrox adapter, which didn't work too well on one of my Fuji's so I think I'll stick with native lens, others have been more fortunate in getting it/them to work.
The Viltrox was supposed to transfer info and make Canon lenses work seamlessly incl AF and aperture control, didn't work well on my camera/lens combo, I may have been unlucky.
