My Travel X Switch Story & More

Many years ago, I was hiking for a few days, alone, from Albania to Montenegro, crossing the spectacular, wild and remote Albanian Alps starting from the fascinating Koman lake, crossing the rural (and electricity-less) villages of Valbona and Theth and then all the way to Gusinje.

I warmly recommend you this trip. Albania is probably the most underestimated travel destination ever in Europe (and one of the cheapest, too). Great sea in the South, majestic mountains in the North. Go there, you will love it.

Anyway…. it was a hard walk. I slept in my tent on high passes, walked up to 9 hours a day, ate food some kind shepherds gave me… and along all the way I carried my heavy Canon gear with me.

One day I woke up on a mountain peak between Valbona and Theth. I left my tent to admire the sunrise in absolute peace. And thinking at all the way I still had to go with all the Canon gear, I took a decision: from now on I’ll travel light!

When I arrived back home I started looking at mirrorless cameras and bought the [shoplink 44354 ebay]Olympus Pen E-P1[/shoplink]… the first of a long series of mirrorless cameras, until I finally stumbled on the Fujifilm X-series.

And that was it… that was love… a love I needed to share via FujiRumors.com :)

So yes, for me, it was all about size/weight, when I decided to switch to mirrorless…. and Fujifilm’s APS-C line just hit the sweet spot between image quality, size, ergonomics and aesthetics.

Remembering all this, I’d like to dedicate a special roundup to those of you guys, who also chose Fujifilm as their favorite travel gear. I hope you will enjoy the stories and the images down below as much as I did :)

Answering to readers emails

Today’s roundup is dedicated to Fujifilm’s all time best seller, the Fujifilm X-T2. And it seems that it is making many people happy, as you can see in the links below.

And to those, who ask me if they should wait for the X-T2 successor, maybe the rumored X-T2S or even the Fujifilm X-T3, I can only say that once a replacement will be out, the X-T2 won’t become a worse camera. Actually probably even better, thanks to Fuji’s Kaizen support. So why wait… get it, and enjoy it :)
