Last year, I decided to learn photography.

It’s going nicely.

I have an awesome camera – the Fujifilm X100VI. It’s a great camera for a beginner. You get the classic photography feel, but in an ultra-modern, state-of-the-art camera.

The one downside that the seller – and all the YouTube reviewers – warned me about, turns out not to bother me at all. I’m referring here to the fixed lens. For now, it’s perfectly fine with me. I’m sure that, over time, as I become more proficient, I’ll want a camera with an interchangeable lens – perhaps something like the Sony A7 IV, or the Canon EOS R6 Mark II.

Right now, having a fixed-lens camera works for me. I don’t have to make any decisions about which lens to use. I have just the one, and that cuts down on unnecessary thinking. (Heaven knows, there’s already more than enough buttons and settings to get to grips with.) A fixed lens camera just makes it easier for me to get on with taking great pictures.

Another thing I like about the Fujifilm X100VI – its compact form. I can take it virtually anywhere. Plus it’s such a beauty – truly a well designed camera.

I’m looking forward to becoming a good photographer, with this lovely camera by my side. Photos may appear here in due course, so stay tuned.
