Laptops For Computation Simulations

Great camera, love the film simulations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The laptop is very light, yet it is more than enough computation power for most work I do. I can run multiple VM with resources to spare. The keyboard keys feels great. I also like the build in hdmi port, which is good for meetings.

I always get the plan for my laptops. Of course you just never know.

One of the fastest laptops I have so far and I can bring it anywhere I go.

This is very handy for new laptops with few ports!

Looks beautiful, terrific for F1 simulations. No dead pixels, great refresh rate. Very satisfied!

I have a Nikon Z8 for proper photo shoots where I plan on lugging all my gear. I picked up a smaller Zf for travel but after a couple of trips realized it was too big. Sometimes I'll take my Nikon F6 and shoot 35mm as I enjoy the experience and look of the final product. The X-T30 II allows me to take a smaller camera than the Zf while getting great .jpgs with the various film simulations that mimic the F6 results: win-win. I bought this along with the XF 23mm f/2 R WR lens for a formidable combo that worked really well on a recent road trip where I combined landscape, street, and car photography. I plan on adding the 27mm f/2.8 for a truly pocketable experience but for now, this combo serves me well. This is my first Fuji camera and I found the user interface to be intuitive (easier than Sony). The joystick is responsive and changing the film simulations is straightforward and more importantly, it's fast. The weight is negligible but feels solid in the hand, as do the buttons and dials. Shooting in .jpg makes simplifies transferring and sharing photos via the Fuji app. Something I do at the end of the day in the hotel while traveling without the additional steps of downloading to my laptop, editing, uploading, and sharing. Overall I'm happy with the results given the size, performance, & price, and look forward to taking it with me more often.

Why does Fuji waste time and money with built-in film simulations? Do they think there are photographers who want medium format jpgs? I can't imagine why anyone who wants a medium format camera would not want to edit the raw image in Lightroom and/or Photoshop first, and add film simulations there, rather than be stuck with a film-sim jpeg that can't be edited as well. I love the camera but it just seems stupid.

I am quite happy with my Ricoh GR IIIx. I bring it with me everywhere. I have set up film simulations I enjoy. Lens quality feels like a step down from my FujiFilm X100V but it doesn't really matter because I bring it everywhere. Thought I would enjoy the HDF filter, but rarely use it.

Fits right in my pocket, great customization options, absolutely love the film simulations, pics look great SOOC
