Big iPhone, Little Camera

Speaking of the Fujifilm X100T, here's one way I've been thinking about the sizes of the new iPhones announced yesterday (with the help of this printable size comparison PDF from Ars Technica).

To say that any phone could be a subsitute for an APSC, F2 monster like the X100S or T would be ludicrous. As would be to claim that I never leave my big cameras behind knowing that my phone is often enough.

Both iPhone 6 models feature the same 8-megapixel camera with phase-detect autofocus and ƒ/2.2 lens. The iPhone 6+ adds optical image stabilization.

It's a gigantic phone. But it's also a paper-thin camera with a gigantic rear LCD.

I'm going big. I mean, small.

Fujifilm X100T

I love my X100S. Today, Fuji announced its successor, the X100T. Here's a great write-up on it by Zack Arias of dedpxl.com.

The X100 series is STILL my desert island camera. I’m so happy they haven’t screwed it up. It still has soul and that — is what makes a Fuji a Fuji.

If you vignette the living crap out of a product comparison shot, we can be friends.

What I find most intersting about Zack's impression is his (backed up by gorgeous shots) love for Fuji's "Classic Chrome" film emulation, which I first heard about in Fuji's recently-announced X30, a more affordable X-camera with an impressive zoom lens, but a smaller sensor.

For a more clinical look at the X100T, here's dpreview's take.

The X100T is said to ship in November, and is available for preorder on Amazon and B&H.
