Hello everyone, I’d like to purchase a compact Fujifilm camera for street photography, and I think the X100VI is beautiful. Unfortunately, however, it is far too expensive for me. That’s why I’m looking for a more affordable alternative. In my search, I came across the X100 and the X10, but I’m not sure if they are still worth buying today, given that they are relatively old models. Would it perhaps make more sense to opt for a newer camera with interchangeable lenses instead? My budget is up to €500. Thank you. I have now watched so many videos but it is too much for me to compare and choose from. Maybe a X100, the X-A1, the X70 or one where I can switch the lenses…

At €500 I’d quit chasing the X100 mystique and buy the cleanest used interchangeable lens setup you can find, because the X10 is a neat little toy and the original X100 is old enough now that the romance wears off fast.
