fruitie// What is the advantage of the X70 over the X100T if you don't mind me asking? Are they not both fixed lens?

Ahahahaha! I agree that interchangeable cameras are so much lighter compared to DSLRs, I cannot imagine myself lugging those monstrosities around

I tried holding my friend's Canon DSLR once, snap decision right then and there, NO DSLRs for me
kelvinling// But aren't the XF line better performers than the XC? I am planning to stick to one lens if I buy the XT10, which is why I wonder if the 18-55 kit lens will be much diff from the fixed lens of the X100T/X70? I do think it's a hassle to change lens too tbh

For Mt Fuji, say how about I want a shot of the entire mountain with lake..so I will be standing across the lake. And my budget is 4k and below
woonsc// Ahahahaha! The XT2 is expensive! No budget

I'm currently using a MacAir and already very satisfied with it!
kenary820// X100 or X100T? I thought it has in built flash?

I have considered a tripod stand for solo travels, but wouldn't it be in the way of others when I set it up?
To answer your question regarding X70 vs X100T.
The X70 is a small camera and it's quite handy for travels. You can fit it in your pocket and doesn't even take space in your bag. X100T is bigger. Still doesn't take much bag space but you'll have to hang it around your neck.
You'll have a large articulating touchscreen which is perfect for selfies, but what interest me more is the ability to select AF points on the go. Personally, I feel it's quite handy that you don't have to press any button or rotate any dial to select focus points. Advantage against the X100T? Yes, for touchscreen. Negligible for the articulating screen.
Plus, it comes with Classic Chrome, which I love to death when I had the XT-1.
You'll have a wide fixed lens which is perfect for landscape, a tad too wide for street, I guess the X100T would be a better choice for street. For both cameras, it's quite restrictive in terms what you can shoot, but in a good way, it helps train your composition skills. Also, with the fixed lens, you'll most likely avoid having Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), and spend less. There are lens converter but I've never find any need to purchase one.
Regarding the lack of viewfinder, I was worried that this could be a turn down, but it turned out fine transitioning from the XT-1. It didn't bother me to see everything through the screen, by the way it drains your battery. You would need extra batteries or a powerbank to charge on the fly. I have 2 additional Wasabi batteries and a separate charger. I've gone on commercial sets, taking "behind the scenes" photos and videos with the X70 and I ended up using all three batteries. A disadvantage, but still you can workaround it.
Is the X70/X100T, a good beginner camera? I don't see why not. you'll still be able to do everything manually for you shutter speed and aperature. You'll have the ability to do manual focus (FYI on the X70, the focus ring is quite small and could be troublesome sometime, but I rely on the camera's AF). ISO, you'll have to go through the "Q" menu.
Lastly, the X70 is way cheaper than the X100T.
