I'm thinking about purchasing one of these and would like some input. I've looked at some YouTube videos and done some web searches but also wanted to ask here.

Looking for a slim camera I can travel with and cart around with the kids and to the occasional car show.

The cameras I am currently looking at are:

1. Fujifilm X-T10
2. Sony Alpha 6000
3. Olympus OMD E-M10

Would there be any other good options in the $800 and below range?

 

IMO! Forget the m4/3rd. Sensor too small, need good light. The rest, get in your hand and see what feels best. Want good set on lens that are affordable..., go with Fuji.

 

X-t10 seems to be a Unicorn. Most reputable sites show out of stock or discontinued. Maybe the A6000 is the way to go.

Any further input is greatly appreciated. I've put the two cameras side by side in many online camera comparison sites and I tend to lean to the FujiFilm but the decision is proving to be harder than it should be.

 

Sony is great, I'd have no reservations buying or recommending the A6000. If you can swing the A6300, it's even better.

I don't have any firsthand experience with Fuji but, if proper photography isn't your plan, just buy the one that fits your hands and has the UI that you like the best.

 

I think you have answered your own question....go buy your Fuji.

 

Still rocking my Nikon J4. Unfortunately, doesn't look like Nikon has any interest in continuing the 1 series.

 

Could someone help me better understand why the ISO would change do drastically on the X-t20 vs. The X-t10?

What do you mean change? Are you talking about the range?

 

Yes and I figured it out. Camera comparison dot come was comparing the native ISO range of the X-t20 vs the expanded range of the X-t10, which in that case was 12k vs 56k.

 

Any reliable places to purchase open box stuff?

 

used?

Take me a look at the B&S at FredMiranda.com look established sellers with good ratings. Also DistrictCamera.com is a good place. Established brick and mortar store.

 

Maybe used. I meant more of open box. Like sometimes at Best Buy there will be an open box but it's sold at a discount. Found an a6000 yesterday and was perfect, but missing the charger. Wanted 449 for it.

 

Not a fan of open box. That means, in most cases every dick in the world has done something with that item while on display. And who knows what with returned items. When buying used, more than likely you are buying from someone who seriously cares for their equipment. And if they have the manuals and originals boxes and such. Then you know you have a item that was well cared for.
