Can I request Nagito proposing to the reader and I loveeeee your work
Mod Mikan: I had a lot of fun with this one, ngl! Sorry if this ending is cheesy af. Enjoy!
“Please Hajime, you have to help me!” Nagito begged his reserve course best friend, as they walked throughout the classroom they were cleaning. It was cleaning time at their shared college and all the students were roaming around the institute with cleaning supplies in hand, doing their fair share of chores. The usual trio, Hajime, Nagito, and Chiaki were in the library scrubbing the windows clean 
“Listen Nagito, (Y/N) is your girlfriend, not mine. So just leave me alone and solve your own problem. Please,” The brunette begged the infamous lucky student, his eyes fixated on the glass window he was rubbing small circles into with his rag. Hajime’s slightly rude attitude was interrupted by his sleepy girlfriend snapping her head at them, holding her hand out disapprovingly towards her own lover
“Hey, hey. Hajime, don’t be rude,” She scolded at him in her usual quiet voice. Hajime just looked away with a slight blush on his cheek. He continued to scrub the window, failing at an attempt to hide his embarrassment from his own girlfriend giving him a stern talking to
“Chiaki! Weren’t you sleeping just now?!” He hid his ashamed blush with a surprised look. However, the gamer girl just shook her head, turning to Nagito with a smile on her face
“Don’t worry, Nagito. I helped Gundham present a promise ring to Sonia. No doubt I can help you get your girl!” She offered her own helping hand, making a wide smile form onto the pale face of the luckster. He sighed in relief, nearly throwing his mop and water-filled bucket onto the floor in consolation
“You will? Oh, thank you Nanami-san!” He expressed his gratitude in his usual merry manner, just earning an eye roll from Hajime. He turned to them again, the shock expression fading into a real on, as if he just saw a problem with Nagito’s plan to propose to his girlfriend
“Umm....Nagito? Aren’t you and (Y/N) um, I don’t know....still in your second year of college?!” Hajime pointed out, just making Nagito sigh, crossing his arms. Hajime was one to let his slightly cynical attitude put a damper on things. He pointed out problems with many issues the students just wanted to brush under the rug and enjoy for the time being. But there was a reason to Nagito’s rash reason. It was a mix of both his ‘forever-honeymoon’ phase with his angel, as well as his own insecurities. He wanted to snatch his angel of hope off the market before anyone else would. While he did have negative thoughts of his luck messing up the proposal, as well as you saying no to ‘trash like him’, he didn’t want any pessimism to get in the way of tying the knot with his beloved hope
He knew it was selfish, but he wanted to be the one to serve and worship her for as long as they lived
“Hajime.....” The platinum haired male exhaled before turning to him with a sulked expression. “Well....I can’t say I’m surprised. A reserve course student such as yourself probably wouldn’t understand the true meaning of hope like an ultimate would. I mean, I thought trash like me understood it so it would’ve been simple common sense. But I guess you still haven’t grasped the idea of the hopeful effect someone like (Y/N) can have on a person,” Nagito finished his rant with one last suspire before ending the conversation “It’s okay. It’s not like anyone would expect much from a reserve course student like yourself,” He smiled calmly, which just made the aura around him condescending with what he just said towards Hajime. Chiaki sighed, crossing her arms with her own sulked expression looking down at the floor. Hajime rolled his eyes, wincing as he was looking down at the floor himself 
“S-Shut up! Just....” An exhale left the brunette’s lips, as he turned towards Nagito “Just tell us what we should do,” 
*****************************************************************************************************
“This is a much needed date idea, Nagito. The beach sounds like a great idea,” (Y/N) cheered, as she clinged onto her boyfriend’s skinny arm. The white haired male smiled at her cheerfulness, admiring the view he had of her wearing a (F/C) bikini underneath a sheer tunic dress. Wow, how did he get so lucky? His angel was hopeful, bright, talented, intelligent, AND beautiful on top of that? It was no surprise that Nagito always wondered out of everyone someone so hopeful could be with...why scum like him? He was a mere nobody compared to an angel like her
Nagito got lost in thought, the smile becoming a bit creepy as he was silent along with the unexpected beam becoming wider by the second. (Y/N) cocked her brow, as she snapped her fingers in front of him, literally snapping him out of his daydream
“Hello??? Earth to hope boi~!” She giggled, running towards the ocean. She took Nagito hand, practically dragging him along with her to admire the view of the crystal blue waves crashing into the white sand that provided a grainy warmth between their toes
“Come on, Naggie! Our I’ll leave you behind~!” She snickers, before turning back to him, not stopping her journey towards obtaining a good view of the sea
“Just kidding! I won’t leave you behind no matter how slow you are!” She teased, stopping a few feet away from the ocean. She booped his nose, making him giggle, a blush being painted a thin coat over his white skinned face. He took out the folded umbrella that was tucked underneath his arm, setting it up along with a picnic blanket. Just when his committed girlfriend was reaching out to help him, the lucky student shook his head, holding his hand out to signal her to stop
“(Y/N), just relax, okay? I’m excited about this date too, but I want to spoil you. Please, allow trash like me to take care of everything today,” He insisted, his usual calm smile plastered on his face. (Y/N) sighed disapprovingly of her boyfriend’s typical self-loathing attitude. She knew old habits were hard to break, but his degrading insults towards himself was getting less frequent. So...it’s progress! Right? 
The (H/C) haired girl chuckled lightly, her censorious sigh being the thing of the past quickly. She flashed her own merry grin at him, just nodding, signaling him to take the lead. There was no use arguing with someone as tenacious as Nagito. It would be easier to make a list of days he hasn’t spoiled his angel, rather than ‘special days’ where he flats out takes her anywhere and buys her anything her precious heart desires
Smiling to herself about all the modest, yet sentimental dates they cherished together, (Y/N) didn’t even notice that her boyfriend already set up their own little spot under the huge umbrella Nagito brought along. The platinum haired man patted next to him, motioning for the angel of hope to join him with a beam of happiness on his face. (Y/N) snapped out of her daydream, sitting next to her lover as they began their beach date with setting up the picnic food they brought along 
*****************************************************************************************************
“Did you enjoy today, (Y/N)?” Nagito asked his girlfriend, holding her hand as they walked parallel to where the ocean waves crashed onto the white sandy terrain. (Y/N) nodded with the twinkle of joy that never left her face when the day started. She took the last bit of the (F/F) ice cream Nagito bought for her before throwing the wrapper that came with it in a nearby trash can. She turned back to her boyfriend, wanting to thank him for the special day
Little did she know the best part still had yet to come
“I had a great time, Nagito. I wanted to thank you again for today. Finals are coming up soon and I think we both deserved some relaxation from the hard work we’ve put in,” She expressed her graciousness, making a pink shade dust upon the pale skinned man’s cheeks and nose bridge. He leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her forehead, before pulling back, the blush still visible across his handsome face
“My love, it’s nothing. Nothing is too good for you and I will continue to do anything I can to keep that beautiful smile on your face,” He declared in a chipper voice, pulling her close to his skinny frame. A sigh fell out of the taller male’s lips, watching an orange hue fill the horizon. The ripples of crystal water almost looked like they were engulfing the lovers that were staring at the approaching sunset. Half the sun was visible at the end of the sea, warm colors swallowing the sky in a shade of reddish-orange. The color was reflected from the waves towards the beauty of (Y/N)’s facial expression. Nagito glanced at her, softly praising her under his breath
God, she looked beautiful. It’s now or never, Nagito 
The infamous lucky student started the first step of ending the night with a new step in their relationship. A gasp of surprise left his lips, as he pointed towards the sea, lightly nudging his girlfriend’s shoulder
“Sunshine, look!” He directed a lanky finger towards the colorful scenery flooding the sky. A giggle escaped from a glossed mouth, (Y/N) nodding rapidly at the landscape. The hand that was clinging onto Nagito’s as swiftly removed, only to act as a shield from the sunlight that was beating onto her (E/C)’s orbs
“Naggie, I know~ I see the sunset too. And it’s gorgeous,” She suspired in awe, basking the warmth that was provided to the both of them
“Not as beautiful as you, my angel.....” Another compliment muttered under Nagito’s breath, as he took his chance to pop the question. He moved back a couple of feet, so he was directly behind his girlfriend. He got down on one knee, pulling out a black velvet box. He bit his lip, the worse possible scenario racing through his mind. He racked his brain from everything that happened during the date, not one having an effect due to his luck cycle
Our picnic went smoothly....swimming was okay.....buying her stuff from the gift ship and snacks.....building sandcastles went just fine.....will my bad luck kick in at the most important part of the date? 
As the marshmallowed haired man pondered his thoughts, anxious from his bad luck activating any time now, he managed to calm himself down only a few seconds later. Chiaki and Hajime was watching from a distance. 
They’re going to do everything they can to make sure this goes smoothly. Trust them. Trust (Y/N). She keeps telling you she loves you. Nothing will ruin this....nothing will ruin this.....nothing will--
“Nagito, wh--” A female voice broke the silence, as the (H/C) female turned around, trying to find her boyfriend that was just by her side a minute ago. However, a pair of wandering (E/C) eyes stopped and widen at the sight of seeing her boyfriend on his knee, a velvet box resting upon it. She gasped, placing a fragile hand on her chest. Nagito’s on his knee and....a velvet box? Could it be? 
“Nagito, what....??? What’s going on?” A shaky tone wavered through her question, her knees started to tremble as she failed to keep herself from crying. If Nagito was on his knee and holding a box and if a ring was inside.....
“(Y/N), my angel....” The white haired male, took her hand, still kneeling down, as if worshipping and bowing to his goddess. He gently opened the box, revealing a gold ring with a princess cut diamond being adorned by smaller diamond encircling the ring band. (Y/N) couldn’t take her eyes off of the beauty that was presented to her. She took a step back, swiftly moving her head to be sure not to fall into the water. She moved back to her boyfriend, who was not done with his explanation from the sudden surprise 
“(Y/N) (L/N). I.....I’m aware a sound like a broken record, but you are my literal hope. You shown me how to love by doing the impossible--loving me. I never thought anyone could love someone like me. All these years with you have been the best years of my life. You brought the shining lights of hope in my dark life. You made me feel complete. I’ve learned to live with all the bad things that has happened because of my luck. I thought I was a terrible person. That’s why I thought I was cursed with my luck. I made peace with the fact that I’m a worthless human being that can’t do anything right. The equivalent of human trash. I’m aware I sound selfish by talking down about myself, I know you don’t like it....” His ghostly green orbs softened, as he took one of her hands in his, the other one brandishing the ring closer towards her view
“My angel...my love....my beloved hope....you showed me happiness. Happiness I thought someone like me never deserved. I....I want to pay you back for everything you did for me. Being with you...make me feel like I’m worth something. You said you didn’t care what my luck cycle brought. You reassured me that no matter what happens, you will always love and stick by my side. I know you aren’t a liar. You have my full trust. But you’re an angel. It’s only a matter of time before someone better steals you away. I know it’s selfish of me, but hey....can a guy, even someone like me, be a little selfish at times?” He ended his sentence with a slight chuckle before staring deep into her (E/C) eyes locked with his green ones before asking the question that sealed the deal 
“(Y/N) (L/N), my sweet, sweet angel of hope...will you do me the honors of marrying you?” He asked, his love-sickened heart pounding with anticipation. With a stream of salty tears rolling from her eyes down her cheeks, (Y/N) nodded rapidly, feeling the cool metal being slipped on shakily on her left ring finger. Nagito got up and hugged her before staring deep into her eyes, kissing her passionately. The couple melted into each other’s arms, taking in the warmth of their lover. No other words were needed that night. Just the comfort of being in the arms of their future spouse 
(Epilogue) 
“I told you, Hajime! Aren’t you so happy for (Y/N)-san and Komeada-kun?” Chiaki smiled softly, still recording the proposal on her phone, as she watched the now engaged couple enjoying their own celebration with each other. The gamer girl’s boyfriend just sighed, but smile lightly to himself, letting out a small nod
“I guess so. But damn. (Y/N)....please take good care of that one....” He exhaled, a hint of exasperation lacing the breath. But the smile never left both their faces, as they gave Nagito a small thumbs up from the bush they were hiding in. Hajime bit his lip, letting his chin rest on his fist for a second, Chiaki noticed her boyfriend in deep thought for a second, as her eyes turned to him for a moment
“Hajime? You okay?” She asked him, only earning a blush emerging onto his cheeks, scratching his nape, a bit of nervous
“Chiaki.....would you like our date night next week to be at the beach?”

UFO SIGHTING. Oct 21st, 2018, around 9pm cst. Houston, TX.
Uploaded without edit. Multiple witnesses, multiple devices recording. Detailed observation. 
Please #like and #share! 
Went outside for a smoke. Saw it and thought it was lightning. Sat back for the show, the night air was cool snd sweet, and I was having a good day. 
But it didn't act like lightning and after five or ten minutes, I dragged my stepdad out of bed to see it. He saw it too. 
After a few more minutes of signaling the strange lights with various lights and flashes, he ran to get a camera. Long story short, no batteries. So he started using his phone. 
Once I felt we had a good amount of footage on his phone saved, I ran for my phone (Samsung S9+), it had a superior camera. 
But it's still grainy af. That's a little disappointing. The cameras at least picked up the flashing lights and my voice narration. The film cuts out because my camera spontaneously shut down. My fingers could have slipped, I was shaking like a leaf and you can hear how freaked out I am. 
The camera shut off on its own when I was at an awesome angle. It was overhead maybe a mile up, 300 yards long, moving in a slow triangle pattern and flashing. The camera picked up a strange pulsating aura of colors my eyes couldn't pick up. 
It responded to a halogen torch when I flashed back. It communicated. Footage lost. 
This is just 5 minutes from a 30 minute encounter 
I panicked and ran inside to make sure the video was saved. It was! I immediately uploaded it to YouTube and posted a link on my Facebook page. 
We went back outside to find it. It was hiding from spotlights. We flashed at it again then it pulsed and as the spotlights zeroed in, it flew off at high speeds quieter than a whisper. 
 Ps. I apologized to my stepdad for snapping. I was really freaked out. They are #real. We aren't alone. 
 PS. Most "evidence" of the paranormal can possibly be explained as works of human ingenuity. Psuedoscience taken from spooky reality TV "gonzo" "documentaries." Some guys in a suit waving props. Entertainment, fun, interesting, but dubious. 
 I've studied #Ufology seriously since, 1985. I've snuck into ruins under threat of arrest. I've been inside real paranormal houses. I've encountered visitors before. 
They are strange in appearance. Smaller. Beautiful minds. The Jungian shadow/archetype can trigger flight or fight response. A first contact is a living nightmare. The trauma induced by facing the uncanny valley in so startling clarity. In reality, it rarely goes well. Imagine trying to sooth an 800 lb gorilla that has entered crisis mode. Not fun for anyone. 
Call me crazy. Call me a fraud. I saw what I saw. Remember Clark's* 3rd law. 
And always maintain a healthy #skepticism. Always explore in service to #knowledge. It's quite the dichotomy. But that is being a diligent #investigator of the #paranormal and (lay) scholar of #folklore and the #occult.

Recipe: Boerenkool Met Worst
Tumblr media
(source)
Stamppot is a staple in many Dutch homes. How it came to be a recipe in my repertoire I’m actually not entirely certain. But it meets what I call the holy trinity of autumn meals:
Potatoes, comfort food, easy.
Potatoes gets its own category apart from comfort food... Because potatoes.
Tumblr media
Boerenkool (and it’s met worst addition) are my favorite version of this Dutch dish. Stamppot which I believe literally just means stomped pot, is basically throw whatever in a bowl with potatoes and mash. 
Traditionally, I cook this on the stove in my cauldron (aka huge dutch oven with a lid). However I think we can do this in the microwave too. So, what I’m going to do is post the recipe I usually use. THEN, reblog, with a microwave/college/spoonie version.
Ingredients
(I’m going to apologize to @growing-yet-into-magic for yet another vague AF recipe, and make more of an attempt to give some indication of how much of what, rather than just chucking things in the pot as is my usual shitty-ktichen-witch style)
potatoes (russet are what I usually use, but anything will do)
How many you use is not crucial, but I tend to go for 2 large or 3 med/small per person. Look, we’re making BUTTER POTATOES, with sausage. There’s no judgement here, have a giant bowl of it. It also makes great leftovers. So there’s that?
kale (fresh is good, but canned can be used, lol can can)
For fresh, I’d say... 1 bunch per two potatoes, ish? It’s going to look like a LOT of kale. Like, you’ll look at your pot and think @madamehearthwitch is really trying to trick you into eating a healthy recipe. But just trust me. Kale cooks like spinach:
Tumblr media
butter and milk and salt
This is going to vary a lot depending on how you like your mashed potatoes. I would say, roughly, 1- 1 1/2 Tbsp butter per person (aka every two potatoes) See, I told you this wasn’t a healthy recipe. And a splash of milk. You can also use heavy cream, creamer, or sour cream. Salt is to taste.
sausage
Mmm sausage. I’m going to resist making the obvious joke. Just know that MrHearthWitch lives far away from MmeHearthWitch and the lack of a joke here was a real sacrifice.
Any kind of sausage here will do (nope, I’m still not making the joke). Kielbasa is common, a good farmer sausage too (My willpower is fading rapidly, must change the subject).
grainy mustard
Regular mustard will do, but a proper grainy mustard just elevates this to deliciousness personified (foodified? what’s the proper terminology here?)
Method:
You peel, or not peel the potatoes. It’s a personal choice. I’ve done this with a nice red potato and not peeled it, gives a nice bit of color. But prepare the potatoes, chunk them, and toss them into the dutch oven/pot. Cover the potatoes with water.
Chop the kale into strips, add to the pot on top of the potatoes. Wonder again if MmeHW is trying to trick you.
Add the sausage on top (resist making a position joke)
Cover, bring to a boil, then let simmer on med/low til the potatoes are cooked. 20 min or so?
Remove the sausage, drain off the water, and mash! Here’s where you add in the butter, milk and salt, and notice there is significantly less kale than when you started. It’s magic!
Slice the sausage, and serve with the boerenkool and a side of mustard.

The Cameras We Love With Stunning JPEG Images
If you like to shoot for the JPEG and want a camera that will let you back away from photo editing, these are the cameras worth a look.
We recently posted an opinion piece about why you should shoot for the JPEG instead of the RAW. RAW files certainly have their place, and they can allow all manner of edits during post-processing, but not all photographers want to spend countless hours behind their computers: they’d much rather be out shooting. After all, this is what we love to do more than anything. If you’re a photographer who wants to break free from the rigors of editing images, and you just want to shoot and enjoy the images you create, the cameras we rounded up after the break are the ones you need to take a closer look at.
There is no don’t about it; when it comes to getting the absolute most out of your images, editing the RAW files your camera produces is the way to go. Having complete control over your images is great, but it can also be incredibly time-consuming. Unless I am shooting for a client, I find myself aiming to shoot for the JPEG more often than not these days. It’s such a nice feeling to know I don’t have to edit pics every time I take my camera out. Image processors inside modern cameras are incredibly powerful: they can work wonders with your images. When you also consider the film simulations and art filters many manufacturers now include in their cameras, it makes even more sense to have fun with the JPEGS your camera can produce.
Tumblr media
A straight, out-of-camera JPEG from the Canon EOS M6 II
All of the cameras we have listed below can produce outstanding JPEGS. You can pick these cameras up, shoot to your heart’s content, and then instantly share your images without having to transfer files to your computer to tweak a myriad of settings. It’s quite liberating. If you want to shoot for the JPEG, check out the cameras below.
Shoot for the JPEG With Fujifilm’s X Pro 3
Tumblr media
When it comes to cameras that produce mind-blowing JPEGS, the Fujifilm X-Pro 3 tops the list. This beautiful, 26.1 megapixel, rangefinder-style camera is packed with gorgeous film simulations that can give your images a unique look right out of the camera. You can mimic some of Fujifilm’s emulsions (Provia, Acros, Velvia, Classic Chrome and more) right out of the box, which means you will love the images it produces and you’ll never have to step near a computer for photo editing if you don’t wish to. Here are the pros and cons from our full review:
Pros
Superia is beautiful (Classic neg)
We love the lack of a major screen
Autofocus can be fine-tuned for different situations
Everyone loves the look of Classic neg
You can push the shadows for forever and get details – the highlights not as much, but they’re still there
The screen helps you stay focused and aware
USB C charging ensures that you can keep using the camera
Video features deliver pretty video
Arguably, you don’t need to edit the RAW files because the JPEGs let you do so much
For street and documentary shooting, the hidden screen will keep you in the zone when shooting
Face detection is fantastic when not trying to track erratic movements
Acros and clarity enhancements are going to make you fall in love with Fujifilm all over again
The Chrome effect for skies is subtle and very nice
Autofocus is fantastic for events and most professional work
Fujifilm’s collection of small primes pair wonderfully with this camera
The best camera to embrace high ISO noise on the market
Using the OVF will prolong battery life at the expense of slower autofocus
This is less of a street camera than a documentary and event shooter’s camera
Multiple exposure mode is a very welcome addition
Very good battery life
Cons
Has problems keeping subjects in focus when they’re continuously moving
When you need the screen, it’s a bit of an annoyance; like when photographing a portrait subject in motion
This camera desperately needed Blackout Free EVF shooting
Touchscreen menu navigation should be on this camera
Autofocus needs improvements
Enhancing the clarity makes the camera take extra time to render the image
The battery life in long term use is about on par with the new Sony Z batteries
For street shooting, the wide and tracking AF area still lets you select a zone, but it shouldn’t. This can throw off shooting in real-life street situations
Shooting from the hip? You may accidentally hit the function button and not the shutter release
Exposure dial needs a locking mechanism
Multiple Exposure mode saves the final images only as JPEGs
Buy now: $1,729
Shoot for the JPEG With the Olympus OMD E-M1 III
Tumblr media
Like Fujifilm, Olympus has been bundling unique and creative filters into their cameras for many years. The JPEGS from the E-M1 III are always fantastic, but they can be even better when used in conjunction with filters such as Monochrome, Vintage, Pop Art, Grainy Film, Pinhole, Diorama, and more. We called the E-M1 III a travelers gem, so if you want a camera that can come along with you on your travels and produce images that don’t need to be touched, check out the Olympus E-M1 III. Here are the pros and cons from our full review:
Pros
Feels nice when shooting for a long time
We like the shutter sound
Good continuous autofocus which does tracking
The processor is fantastic
The art filters continue to make Olympus unique amongst other camera brands. Shooting surfers with the cross-process and the vintage filter was so fun. Same with grainy black and white.
Live composite is so incredibly pleasant, along with Starry AF
It survived sand and saltwater
Continuous AF+Tracking works well with wide angles
The custom shooting mode switch on the back is something every adventure brand should have
This is the foundation for an Olympus camera we’d want to bring with us everywhere
Handheld high res shot continues to be one of the best things ever
Face detection works on monkeys
Cons
Battery life in the heat and the cold
C-AF + Tracking is useless with telephoto lenses
Why no touchscreen menus?
Olympus’s menu system continues to give headaches
Some of the parts seem very dated
A top screen LCD could have made shooting easier
Why couldn’t it have Dual UHS-II Card slots?
Above ISO 1600, you really need the art filters to take the most advantage of the otherwise too-grainy sensor
Could really use no blackout in the EVF
We couldn’t find spot metering AF linked to the face (or at least it didn’t work for us)
Buy now: $1,799
Shoot for the JPEG With the Ricoh GR III
Tumblr media
In our review, we said that the JPEG images that came from the Ricoh GR III were so good that the option to be able to shoot in DNG simply wasn’t needed. The color profile simulations that can be used to enhance your images are simply fantastic, and we were overjoyed with the results out of the box. If you want a pocket-friendly APS-C camera that’s perfect for street photography with its 28mm f2.8 lens, the GR III is the way to go. Here are the pros and cons from our full review:
Pros
We are smitten with the JPEGs and the color profile simulations
Snap focus is nice
Sharp image quality
The small size of the camera
Good battery life if you leave the screen off
USB charging
Touchscreen
Image stabilization is nice
Cons
We don’t really care for the RAW files. You may as well just embrace the flaws of the otherwise unique image quality.
Autofocus is very slow: I’m not even sure why it’s there to begin with.
No weather sealing is a big problem.
This camera desperately needed a faster aperture lens. Otherwise, the sensor should have started at ISO 200.
Deep menus
No pop-up flash
Lots of folks have been having issues with firmware updates
Buy now: $899.95
Tumblr media
Captured with the affordable Leica TL2
Pro Tip: When you shoot for the JPEG, the files your camera produces will be much smaller in size when compared to RAW files, but don’t get lulled into a false sense of security because you can still fill an SD card up quite quickly with JPEG images. Always make sure that you have plenty of spare SD cards in your camera bag or on your person so that you always have more storage space for when you max out a card, or if one becomes corrupted.
Shoot for the JPEG With Canon’s EOS M6 Mk II
Tumblr media
The Canon EOS M6 II stole our JPEG loving heart when we reviewed it at the end of 2019. We love the form factor, the 32.5 megapixel sensor is the largest available in any APS-C platform, and it is capable of greatness. Couple it with the image processor that turns out clean, colorful JPEG images that are full of detail, and you have a winner on your hands. Every image in our review was a JPEG straight from the camera: that’s how much we loved the output from the Canon M6 II. Here are the pros and cons from our full review:
Pros
Beautiful colors
The sound of the shutter will appeal to long-time photographers
It feels like a solid, impressive camera
Canon’s implementation of the Touch and Drag AF system is the best it’s ever been with the Canon EOS M6 Mk II
Pretty stellar battery life
You’ve got more megapickles than you need. U DONT NEED MOAR MEGAPICKLES!!!!
Cons
We really wish it were weather sealed
An integrated viewfinder would have put this over the top
Buy now: $849
Shoot for the JPEG With the Olympus OMD EM5 Mark III
Tumblr media
You can expect the same great quality JPEG images from the Olympus E-M5 III as you can from the company’s E-M1 III and E-M1 II thanks to the same sensor, and inclusion of all of the great art filters. The biggest difference is that the E-M5 III is smaller, lighter, and quite a bit cheaper. We loved the gorgeous retro styling of the Olympus E-M5 III, we lauded the weather sealing, and of course, we loved the images it could produce. If you want a Mirrorless camera that has a small form factor and that can pump out great images when you shoot for the JPEG, the E-M5 III might be for you. Here are the pros and cons from our full review:
Pros
Beautiful retro styling
Excellent image quality
Robust weather sealing
Reliable image stabilization
Accurate autofocus
Compact form factor
Built-in Live Composite and 50 MP High Resolution shooting modes are highly effective
Cons
Form factor can be too compact for some
Plasticky build quality
Single UHS-II SD Card slot
Lacks dedicated joystick
Poor battery life
Convoluted menu systems
Buy now: $999
Shoot for the JPEG With the Leica TL2
Tumblr media
When we first got our hands on the Leica TL2, we weren’t quite sure what to make of it, but soon we found out that this little gem of a camera was very good. While we weren’t blown away with the versatility of the RAW files, we loved the JPEGS that this 24.3 Megapixel APS-C Leica produced. The build quality is excellent as you would expect, and it can fire of 7fps with the mechanical shutter and 20fps with the electronic shutter. Pair this camera up with some great L mount glass, get the exposure right in-camera, and enjoy the results that the JPEGS will give you. It’s that simple. Here are the pros and cons from our full review:
Pros
Super solid build quality
Nice, big screen
Simple touchscreen interface, but can get complicated depending on how you configure it
Feels better in the hand than you’d think
Good image quality
Fantastic battery life
Cons
Autofocus is fast, but not fast enough for something like street photography
Buy now: $1,699
Shoot for the JPEG With Fujifilm’s X-T30
Tumblr media
It would be remiss of us to forget about the little Fujifilm that could; the Fujifilm X-T30. This camera is small in size, but it packs a big punch. The little brother to the X-T3 features the same 26.1 Megapixel X-Trans sensor as the X-T3 and the X-Pro 3, and it features all of those glorious Fujifilm simulations as well. Shoot for the JPEG and X-T30 will allow you to back away from the computer and spend more time out shooting, which is what we all want to do. Here are the pros and cons from our full review:
Pros
Solid construction that we’ve come to expect and love about Fujifilm cameras
Compact
Lightweight
Almost everything that made the X-T3 such a hit
Cons
Lacks in-body image stabilization and weather sealing
Rear touchscreen-only tilts up and down
Perhaps a tad too compact
The new joystick is awkwardly placed on the rear of the camera body
Unremarkable battery life
