One of the most under-utilised devices I have laying around in my room at this moment is the Fujifilm X-Pro 3 camera.

My Fujifilm X-Pro 3, a lost opportunity
At the end of 2019, I made a huge investment in upgrading my camera gear. I bought the brand new Fujifilm X-Pro 3.

Camera gear downgrade?
So recently I wrote about how smartphone cameras are getting so good that, as a casual/enthusiast photographer like me, lugging a separate camera and lens during my travels is no longer an attractive option for me.

So I lost my DSLR in Amsterdam
After 8 weeks overseas, I finally came back home a few days ago. The 23 hour flight from Prague to Singapore via Dubai and Colombo was excruciating.
