<p>The Canson Baryta is great, I use that, too. And also the Tecco Baryta.</p>

<p>Epson Glossy is by default slightly yellowish/cream tinted. There are other papers which are declared "high white" or "bright white". I use them with my Epson and pigment ink, and images come out really luminous. If you work with LR or PS, in the print preview you have a slight impression of how changing driver settings for different paper influences the colour as well.</p> <p>Monika</p>

<p>Sensor size matters only for the clearness and crispness of the image.<br> It does not matter at all for the message that's behind the picture and the story you want to bring across.</p> <p>Just my humble opinion.</p>

<p>Hello Kyle, I've swapped from a full frame Nikon D700 to a Fuji X-T1 and haven't had regrets for a minute. My back and shoulders are happier, too. :-)</p>

<p>1) Yes. XT-1 is a great, sturdy camera with good grip and lightweight still. Easy to handle. I have it, and love it forever.<br> 2) I make prints all the time, and the resolution of the XT-1 is really really good. My prints go up to sizes as far as A2 (84x60 cm = 33x24 inch), and if you blow them up with an appropriate algorithm and a good corresponding resolution, you're in. Mind you, I'm talking about raw files in best possible resolution to start with, not jpeg.<br> 3) Street photography is only as good as the person pushing the buttons. ;) The camera has the advantage of being discreet and sufficiently small to be unobtrusive, and comes with a range of excellent lenses.</p>

<p>I have the X-T1 and appreciate it for its robustness and durability. It's magnesium alloy which suits me fine as I'm a bit clumsy. The lenses that you can get for it are excellent (I do not use any more zoom lenses, as their fixed range ones are so great), and everything is structured really logically. Having swapped systems from Nikon, I was immediately very comfortable with this camera. Needless to say, the image quality is outstanding.<br> <br /> I never liked the Olympus one very much due to its very boxy look and feel, but heard recommendations from others. Sony is not my cup of tea at all, and I hadn't even considered trying them out. I've had a small Sony from a friend for test purposes before, and me and cam did not get along very well. When I saw the Fuji, I was instantly hooked as it fully meets my requirements. And of course it's a sexy little thing. ;-)</p>

<p>I don't want anymore gadgets - I would love someone to give me more time instead.</p>

<p>I switched from Nikon D700 to Fuji X-T1 and haven't had regrets for a second. The weight (a backpack full of equipment featuring the camera, 5 lenses of which one a zoom, flashes and some other gear) is not even a third of that of my Nikon with several lenses. My shoulders are happy and my pictures perfect. The lenses that come along with Fuji are great! Can only recommend it.</p>

<p>Fuji X-A1 or similar?</p>

<p>Ellis, he wrote that a shoulder bag is not an option, and that's what the Retrospective is...</p> <p>Dominique, I've looked around for a while, having the same problem. I finally ended up with a nice little backpack from Olympus (yeah right, buy a Fuji and schlepp it around in an Olympus bag... :-))) ). It's not at all expensive, and I use it with an X-T1, 4 lenses, two flashes and some smaller items, if necessary, and still have room for other things. On the sides, it has bags where a Gorillapod or small tripod or monopod will fit in. If you worry about your pocketbook or portable phone, there's a pouch accessible from both sides on the back side of the bag, so nobody can access your things while standing behind you on a bus.</p> <p>It may be that you'll need to do a bit of search for it - due to the high demand, Olympus say they're currently out of stock. But maybe somewhere on the internet...</p>
