Review of Fujifilm X100T at Hong Kong Protest

DigitalRev TV is one of my favorite places for equipment reviews (and I have started a love affair with Fujifilm cameras).  A photo nerd will feel at home with the entertaining and often lightly irreverent hosts.  They give honest opinion about gear, offer useful tips or prove a point with segments such as their "cheap camera challenge" to famous photographers.
