Any long term feedback on your GR or X100S cameras? Switched? Sold for something else?
I sold both my GR and X100 (non S) and now wish I would have kept one of them.
Sold the X100s soon after the GR arrived. The overlap in focal lengths was there but that's where the similarities end. They are so essentially very different cameras. The X100s is a more considered, make you think, make you slow down kind of camera, while the GR is about flow and speed. So I answered one aspect of my original question - the cameras are not duplicative.
Yet, today, if you look in the SC Classifieds you'll find a GR listed. So I have gone from both to neither.
Why?
I love looking at good (less than 5%) street images and the GR is
the street camera born and bred IMHO, but I've not the opportunity nor aptitude for street photography. The GR's 28mm makes for a fine landscape camera in some instances but then it defeats the raison d'être of the GR - that speed and flow ethos. Also wide isn't always best for landscape (and cow portraits) - so one compact becomes two, three or four….making the working proposition uncompact.
But one aspect of my original question remains - are the X100s and GR complementary?
For me there are no regrets in the buying or the selling of both. Fine cameras the two of them, for two very different styles - neither of which is really me (though the Fuji comes closest).
You know that was not so easy to admit to anyone….including myself.
