We’re almost always on the go. Whether we’re travelling abroad, hiking or exploring around the city, we usually lug around our heavy digital SLR to capture all of our adventures. They say the best camera is the one you have with you, so we typically prepare by bringing our best camera (plus appropriate lens) with us! However, times – they are a-changin’. With a baby on the way and our adventures continually expanding, we’ve been on the hunt for a smaller, lighter alternative, one that doesn’t compromise image quality. So allow us to introduce you to our newest camera and travel companion – the brand new Fujifilm X-T100. 

We often get asked what camera/lens we use, what settings we adjust to capture a shot, and how we edit. We thought this would be a perfect way to share with everyone – so come follow along as we head out on an adventure to capture our next image for Instagram! (And bonus…at the end, you get the chance to win your very own Fujifilm X-T100.)

To test it out, we took this little beauty for a spin to see if it would meet our needs as photographers. We made an evening of it, and headed out to one of our favourite spots on the way up to Whistler, the Sea to Sky Gondola. To best test out the Fujifilm X-T100, we decided to go before sunset and take advantage of the light during the golden hour. 

The Sea to Sky Gondola is a breathtaking sight. The 10-minute gondola ride takes you 885m above sea level, with spectacular views over Howe Sound and the surrounding mountains. At the top, you have access to trails, overlooks, viewpoints, and our favourite, the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge.
