I keep picking up my Fujifilm X100 compact camera and completely ignoring my pro-grade Sony A7R IV

A Fujifilm X100 and a Sony A7Riv on a table top.

I always have a camera with me and not just the one on my phone. If you were to take a look around my studio you’d be spoiled for choice, with both film and digital cameras. My main go-to camera for professional work is my full-frame Sony A7R IV, so why isn’t that the one I choose as my everyday carry? It’s not all that big and I have a number of lenses that would make great walkabout companions. Although cheap, even the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is a great little lens and 50mm is my preference for many situations.

The camera that lives in my bag and goes everywhere with me is a Fujifilm X100, either the first-generation original or the X100V. They aren’t exactly versatile, with a fixed lens and they don’t have anywhere close to the same resolution, they’re noisier in low light and the video capabilities aren’t as good.
