Photograph and Camera talk

@pechelman thanks a lot! Okinawa is worth a visit. Breathtaking landscape, amazing sea and friendly people!

Does anyone use drones for photography? I was really into it a few years ago with a Mavic 2 Pro. Considering re-entry. A few smaller options seem better or similar picture quality for a little less. DJI Air3s and Mini Pro 5 are on my list. I took this one at Red Rock canyon in Nevada.

There is currently a Maltese celebrity photographer's exhibition on at Corinthia Hotel London. There's some good stuff if you are in the area or fancy a high tea (or afternoon martini).

A couple from the first days in Japan. I love everything about this trip. The people, the food, the trains, the nature, the photogenic streets. Kyoto pictures still to be sorted, next stop Tokio.

Use it or lose it.

@Marc2706 the Sigma BF is really cool! I see now that I went to the opposite extreme with the Sony a7c ii: the complexity and depth of the user menu and the functionality is a bit over the top!

New travel setup complete: very happy with the 7l Wotancraft Pilot Camera bag! I have an old Domke F2, but this thing is less boxy, wears more comfortable and has a genious magnetic one hand operation clasp. Also: with a bigger bag I am sure to fill it, which will make any 10l+ bag to heavy....

Seeking advice here…
Interested in buying a new camera. Currently have a Nikon D100 slr with several lenses. Now looking for something far smaller and portable enough for multiday motorcycle travel. So mostly documenting memorable moments during trips: people, scenery, selfies, flowers, trees, rocks, birds, and so on. At this point I’ve narrowed it down to a FUJIFILM X100VI.
Grateful to receive feedback on the pros and cons of this choice, and other options which may be preferable.
Any inside info on availability of the X100VI? B&H Photo currently lists it as UNAVAILABLE.
Thank you gents.The journey is the objective.

@motojobobo I would always go for Fuji - love the style, but also more the way the images come out due to the slightly different way the sensor is.
I would love a X100VI, but bit too expensive (and hard to get hold of). But also look at the Fuji XE range, the new XE5 looks fantastic, plus you can change lenses on that range, so a bit more versatile - I got a XE3 with a fast 27mm lens, so similar results to a X100. -
also like the fuji series, but what's your intended use beyond the subject matter? Are you sharing with friends/family on the internet or printing large? Honestly, sometimes a phone camera works just perfect for this, I often augment my shooting with a "real camera" with my phone if I don't have the lens on I'd prefer or dont want to take out the camera (raining, small space, be conspicuous, etc).
But i understand totally if you want a camera experience. Beyond the fuij, you could consider something like a leica q or ricoh gr series.
