I confess I’m one of them I ordered a silver one mid March from Clifton Camera with only a £5 deposit. I waited patiently for 6 weeks but after seeing the latest expected delivery being August I caved in and bought one from eBay. The order is still alive and I’ll leave it so. Before...

Great ‘middle earth’ vibe. Jake

First couple of images taken in the back garden from the X100vi - straight from camera. Velvia film simulation. Nice rendition of late evening colours. Still lots to get my head around with this camera but getting there. Jake

Hi Lee I joined the queue with Clifton Camera, as it was only £5 to join, in mid March. Still no sign of camera and the latest from Clifton is August! I ended up getting one of eBay. Jake

Well I’ve today joined the FUJIFILM-X club - my x100vi arrived! First impressions are: 1) it has some heft for its size, lovely solid construction, nice in the hands. Just oozing quality. 2) it has a bewildering, vast array of setup options and configurations that I need to get my head...

Well having got an update on the expected delivery for my X100vi order of August (with no guarantee), I bit the bullet and grabbed one of eBay. :rolleyes: It’s a brand new one and I’m ‘only’ paying a premium of £150 inclusive of a £50 cashback offer. Really looking forward to using this camera...

That’s great to know. That photo is excellent and similar to what I’m taking atm. Decisions decisions. Jake

I did look at the Ricoh but like you I couldn’t live without a viewfinder. The photos out of the RX100 are more than acceptable - I just find the form factor too small for me. So all I really use it for is a point-and-shoot camera. I’m looking for something smaller than the A7R that also makes...

Thanks Lee, ColourofSound, and CraikeyBaby I take your point regarding one of the previous versions and seeing if I get on with it. The reason for going for the new version was the jump primarily in resolution and, as I don't change equipment frequently, a bit of future-proofing. I haven't...

Morning all I’m aware that some of you lucky ones have managed to get your hands on the X100vi. As I stated previously I’ve joined the queue on the 16th March and obviously no sign of delivery on the horizon yet. As you can appreciate the wait is not good! So as they say the devil makes work...

As Chris above I have used both brands over the years without any issues. However I always have used WD in specific scenarios such as WD Red label in my servers and NASs and WD Black label as external HDs in my game consoles. Jake

Excellent! Showed these to my 5 year old grandson who is going through a Star Wars obsession at the moment (no one to blame but myself as I did the introduction) and he loved them. Jake

Another vote for MS 365 family subscription. Like a lot of folk I used to scour the internet for cheap licences but for £80/year you and 5 family members have access to the up-to-date suite plus the added bonus of 1TB of cloud storage each! Can’t be bad to that. Jake

I was I am/was on the monthly subscription plan and when I added the code I initially couldn’t see any difference ie next monthly payment would be April as per usual. Scratching my head thinking that I couldn’t use the discounted yearly plan I looked again at my account and I saw that the next...

Thanks for the heads up. Just added it to my plan. Every little bit helps Jake
