Some comments from the participants last year..(from the trip and their experience with Fuji Cameras)\u00a0<\/span>

FUJI: I really enjoyed the Fuji camera, small body in spite of a larger sensor size compared to my Olympus. Love the tilt-screen and monochrome filters, battery life was very impressive too. Ergonomically, I prefer the XT1 which has a bigger grip which makes shooting with one hand a lot easier. The 35mm lens is a god-sent, the picture quality is amazing. If Fuji released more primes, perhaps I\u2019ll switch systems. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

LEARNING: Shooting with William has been increasingly insightful. His ability to translate capturing beauty into actionable words is especially helpful for those not born with a photographer\u2019s eye. He helped me see beauty in shadows and busted the curse of harsh light. I find it especially helpful to get William\u2019s critique on my shots on how I can improve the execution of a good idea. His shoot-first-sleep-later attitude has also inspired much.<\/p>\n

Great camera for street photography \u2013 it\u2019s small size makes it inconspicuous enough to not be noticed when trying to take photos incognito.
\nThe swivable led screen allows for taking photos from difficult angles and tight corners. Would love it more if it is more \u201cswivable\u201d.
\nGood performance in low light conditions.
\nLove the black and white effect setting found in the camera. The other film effects were also great options to explore.
\nThe dials makes it easy to control and change settings \u2013 was intuitive enough for me to learn to manually control the settings.
\nWish the battery life could last longer.
\nAlso wish that the directional buttons at the back of the camera was more \u201cpopped up\u201d so that it is easy to fiddle with the shortcuts when using the\u00a0view finder to take photos.<\/p>\n
