Why have I bought the Fuji X100T? (no technical details)

Hello everybody, 

I finally got the Fujifilm X100T in my hands. Everybody says and writes on web about how beautiful this camera is. I have to agree with them. 

Actually I was searching for quite a long time about the right camera. Finding the suitable gear depends on the current life situation (maybe also from the future one, but who can really see through life?). So, I decided that writing about me leads directly to the reasons of buying the X100T.

1) Around 30 years old.

Jep, not a kid anymore. Somehow I am finished with studying and wandering. The years have passed and I have really started appreciating owning good things. It is not about buying expensive fancy stuff, I just like quality products that I can rely on them.

2) Living and working in a big city – Hamburg, Germany. 

Except of lot of cars and people, there are quite a lot of interesting things to take pictures. Actually I don`t know where to start from. From monuments to modern building complexes, the river and the harbor, neighborhoods with alternative flair, everyday life situations, big city social contrasts, et cetera.

Working full time in an office makes time (and daylight) fly away. Going to and coming from work can offer a good chance for some nice street photography shots. Having a big camera isn´t though quite so useful: a) attracts attention (especially in city areas where taking pictures can become a small adventure), b) you cannot carry it in your pocket / bag / jacket easily, c) cannot be used so fast, d) it is not so beautiful.

It somehow starts to get closer to a compact camera.

3) Love cycling

I love riding with my bicycle across the city. It gives me the chance of thinking, seeing and observing things, trying to find some nice motives. Having a big camera doesn´t pass to the flexibility offered from a bicycle.

4) Family and friends

For this reason having a relative small gadget, that can be used from everyone in the family or from friends at any circumstances, becomes somehow an important buy criterion.

Along my research, I discovered that the X100T the right one for me is, a compact quality camera - it also has to be bigger than my smartphone ;) . 
So I just got it. I am really looking forward to start taking  pictures with the camera.  

Keep in touch, in the following posts I will start getting more into details about the X100T .
