<p>Thank You for all your great replies.</p> <p>In my country the XT-10 is at least $300 dollars more expensive. Also between my husband and I we travel to New York at least 4 times in a year. So in that sense buying from the States is not such an issue (we end up buying all our electronics from the US).</p> <p>I am not a Zoom user and my style of photography is more artistic and involves everyday scenes, objects. I have a Canon 7D as well with 3 diff lenses so that cares of my professional assignment. </p> <p>I just loved how the XT-10 felt in my hands and it made me happy. And Yes I know its expensive :)<br> I think I will buy from BnH and just opt for the 18-55 since I wasnt aware that they are Fuji XC lenses.<br> <br> What are your thoughts on the OM-D E-M5 II?</p> <h1 > </h1> <p> <br> <br> </p>

<p>Hi guys,<br> to cut a long story short, I am going to order the Fujifilm X-T10 and since I don't live in the States a little confused about where to buy. A friend will get it for me from the States.</p> <p>I have visited the BnH store in NYC and love their passion but is Best Buy as solid?</p> <p>Secondly my intital plan was to buy the<br> <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1170184-REG/fujifilm_x_t10_mirrorless_digital_camera.html">Fujifilm X-T10 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens Basic Kit (Silver)</a> for $950 on BnH</p> <p>but then I saw the</p> <p>Fujifilm X-T10 16.3MP Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm Lens and Extra 50-230mm Lens for about the same price on Best Buy</p> <p>I have seen the 16-50 lens in person and found t plasticky. But today wehen I saw the Best Buy offer where they are throwing in the Fujinon XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 OIS Zoom Lens, I got tempted. Since I think it is a good deal.<br> Personally I love the 18-55 but I do want the best for my buck and wanted some suggestions?</p> <p>Is it a quality vs quantity question at the end of the day?</p> <h1> </h1>

<p>Thank You Mark for putting things in perspective for me. I guess dropping 1000 bucks on Leica and with limited functionality doesnt make sense. With the XT10 at least I can learn and broaden my horizon. I went to photography school at 21 and learnt on my dads pentax k. Digital came soon after and then I just never went off AUTO MODE! I think really do want to learn all the basics again and XT10 surprising is pretty compact. At least compared to my Canon. </p>

<p>I just don't like how the Canons look now. I know that sounds a little off when it comes to photography, but I am a very visual person and for me aesthetics are very important and add to the entire experience. </p> <p>The XT10 feels good in my hands and I love how its constructed. The Rebel is now used by my employees for in house product shots so I can justify myself getting a new camera after almost 10 years!<br> <br> I think I would like to get back to photography which I have neglected due to personal issues. I don't have the same passion for it as I had it back in the day, but I want to pursue my interests again. But it is a splurge for me, so want to make sure.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for taking time out and giving me your inputs. I guess my confusion stems from the point on what my purpose would be and if its worth spending 1000 on any of the two. My Rebel XT works well but I dont enjoy taking pictures from it and the mirror is scratched as well. <br> I found Leica too small honestly and I can only shoot from a viewfinder. I find the whole LCD screen very disconcerting :)</p> <p>I did check the XT10 at Best Buy and its much compact than my Rebel XT (350D). Though Best Buy had the 16-50 lens and I didnt care much for the plastic construction. So may opt for the 18-55mm. </p> <p>I guess calling the Leica just a point and shoot puts things in perspective. My goal is to get back to photography and learn and maybe go semi pro.</p>

Hello, I am in the States currently and want to pick up a camera from BnH before I leave back for home. I am conflicted between the X-T10 and the Dlux and would love some advice. Some background. I have a Canon 350 DSLR with a set of all the standard lenses and I still use it occasionally. While I am no pro, neither am I an amateur. My gripe with the DSLR is that I hardly end up using it now since I find it cumbersome and bulky to carry around (I usually shoot street scenes, architecture). In fact its been collecting dust and I end up shooting with my iPhone. My photography style is experimental and I post process. Style of photography: http://www.anthologie-design.com/collections/x-pose-photo-art-decor Now these two cameras sound great and I did check the Leica in fact I wanted to buy it before I tested it out. I found it a tad small in my hands and was scared that I will end up dropping it! I was a little disappointed with the cosmetics of the camera but the 4K video was a big selling point and the dream to own a Leica without empyting my back account is still there. With the X-T10, while I loved the style (big fan of retro) and it reminded me of the Pentax K, I learnt photography on, I am not sure if it makes sense to build a system again. And with the DSLR I already have the zoom, telephoto and the prime lens. Though I love the style of it, but I wonder if its just another dslr in making for me. Both end up costing the same, but I am so confused since I don't know what to decide on. With the X-T10, will the bulk again build up? Also I have been shooting on automatic mode for most of the last few years. I want to brush up on my skills as well so I am confident enough to shoot on manual and experiment. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank You
