Thank you! I agree, it is about the art. After reading your comment it has broadened my attention to a point of drain in my motivation, which is the focus on gear, which has been shifting my focus from the art. Thanks for commenting! Got me thinking!🤔

I’ll have to look into that Pilot 7L. I have a few slings, but the one thing they do right is the size of the bag, straps are a bit uncomfortable though. It’s been a journey.

Thank you! If price isn’t a factor then my advice would be to start with what you want to experience. I’ve not used these cameras, but here’s my thought process for if I were to consider these two. X100VI is a fixed lens, rangefinder body, a little more compact and has a fixed lens, so you are committed to that one body/lens comb. Unless you invest in the lens attachments which would be another $900 - $1200 for all three to replicate different focal lengths. XT5 is interchangeable, body is a bit bigger, more megapixels (however 26 megapixels are enough for what most people need in a camera for). I mostly shoot portraits, real estate, and events. I shoot photo and video and I need the camera to be versatile. I don’t mind having a bigger body beside I generally rig out every camera I own unless it is a photo designated camera. Both camera shoot both photo and video so that’s not an issue. It all goes back to experience. Are you mainly shooting photo?

@@DonTinsley mostly shooting photo!! Thank you for your honest feedback!! I hope for your continued success 😊 can’t wait for other uploads!

Anytime! Which ever you decide let me know. Would love to see what you create.

Yes! The 35mm 1.4. The cine lenses are great. Although they are cheaper than some of the Fuji lenses I own, they produce a quality that just looks different than the photo centric lenses. If you have a kit you enjoy using then it is enough kit to share. If you share let me know! Always great to see you down in the comments!

Thank you! Welcome to the channel!

I will see what I can put together!

Film of course!

Film is a good place to start! How’s the Nikon bodies treating you?

Canon AE-1 is a great starting point! Even great to pick up and run around with today. Canon T2i made the SL2 possible! Where can I find some of your work? What are you running around with these days?

Hey Chris! Good to see you down in the comments again! Agreed! We all start somewhere! Anything’s better than the phone! Phone can be helpful at times, but if I know I can take the camera, I’m taking the camera! I’d take the point and shoot any day! My list has been pretty consistent, and if and when I’m out there looking for used gear I keep an eye out for the right price. The Nikon D60 paved the way for great cameras. The X-T5 is a great camera. Likely to compete with and/or outperform anything for the next 5-10 years. Haven’t had the privilege to use, but anything Fuji create captured gold. What’s your go to film simulation with the XT5?

@@DonTinsley - I saw Classic Cuban Negative and never looked back. But lately, because of a challenge, I've been using a B&W film sim on my camera, and then editing in color in Lightroom. Trying to challenge myself to get better with composition instead of just leaning on color.

Classic Cuban Negative? I will have to look that one up! Finding ways to challenge yourself as a photographer is one of the best part about the entire journey.

@@DonTinsley I feel the same way. Challenges make the game of life more fun.

Agreed. Some fair points. Thank you for commenting. The X-H1 is a pro level camera, and can be intimidating to some user. However, I’ve put the X-H1 in the hands of first time shooters and they loved the experience. Of course I dialed in the setting, whether it was full auto, semi auto, or full manual. With a quick rundown of why I set chose the settings, explaining ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensation, and f-stop they felt at home with the camera. Loved the camarera size especially the grip. They did not like the X100f too much because of the size. Of course an entry level camera would be great, but I’d still have to do the same thing with that camera when putting it in the hands of a beginner. Explains the setting and why I set it up that way. Answer any question they have until they feel comfortable enough to explore and experiment. I think the video capabilities of the X-H1 are great based on use case. Battery life is horrendous, but manageable with a few batteries. The recommendations in your comment are great starting points for 90 - 95 percent of users! Id start out with the X-E3/4, or the XS10/20 because you get the compact size, plus the grip. Thank you for sharing this! This was awesome!

No, it would not be a problem. You get used to the amount of force you need to apply when it comes to half pressing.

@@DonTinsley Thank you!

Any time!

They’re great cameras!

Thank you!!😊

Thank you! Here are a two of the channels I’ve been watching to learn more about color grading and color management. Waqas Qasi and Darren Mostyn. There are a ton of channels out there where you can get free information. Although it isn’t too in depth and they don’t really share the nuances of the process, but more of a how to, you can still learn a ton. The biggest part of the learning process that I’ve found is watching one video at a time and practice/replicate what they’re doing for better understanding and comprehension. I’ve not taken any courses so I cannot recommend a course, but I can recommend these channels. Whenever they post, I watch, listen, learn, practice, and return when I feel I am missing something. Let me know of this helps.

@@DonTinsley Hey mate! Thank you very much, definitely color grading is an entire world itself! Thanks for taking the time to respond, here you have my sub + like! Keep it up buddy!

Thank you! Let me know if you find either channel helpful!

I am always working to improve! Thank you for pointing it out. I listened back and noticed it. Didn’t notice in the edit which is interesting.

but great video nevetheless, subscribed, keep up the good work

Highly likely a rebrand. As I was reviewing it I wondered whether there were others out there that were similar or better than this one. What do you think of it so far?

Thank you!

Appreciate it!

Sweet!

I agree, there are times where the sharpness of Fuji feels too much, and the color science makes up for it. Thank you!

Thank you! I will and glad you find the videos helpful!

Thank you. Yes, I believe you can still color grade even if you use downloaded c-log. You can color grade regardless, whether you're using a standard profile, LOG, or RAW. With color grading and color management you are only pushing and pulling colors as far as the image allows. LOG and RAW allows for much more room to push and pull than the files where contrast and saturation are already baked in. (this is a simplified explanation, but there is much more nuance to it). I am curious as to how well it grades. Would you be willing to send me a few files that you capture from the camera using the downloaded c-log? Which c-log were you able to download onto the camera?

Thank you for the kind words! I will keep at it!

The more batteries the merrier! You can’t beat the price compared, especially when it comes to the pro features you can get in the X-H1.

Thank you! You’re awesome!

Hey! I have all the profiles that are available in Dehancer. The X-H1 isn’t a choice in Dehancer, the closest camera is the XT3. This is the camera o choose when I am using Dehancer when I do not want to build out an entire node tree and I am working strictly in Dehancer. Although the sensors and bit-rates are different between the two, the conversion works well with the X-H1.

It’s a little monster that just won’t quit! Great camera!

😂 I just might try! That would be fun and interesting. If I do I’ll tag you on the post! Do you think I should remake this video at a slower pace? If so, is there any questions you have about the Sony focus modes I can answer in the potential update for this video?

@@DonTinsley nothing wrong with the speed my guy 👌🏻

@@_w.w._ sweet! 🙏

Greeting! All is well, and hope the same for you! You pushed me to get the X-H2s after sharing your experience with it! No regrets! I found one on sale, like new, and ended up getting it for $900 after trading in a few pieces of gear I found collecting dust. Nikon is definitely making a comeback, Bruno would say that Nikon has always produced great quality especially when it comes down to color rendition regardless of the quirks. Same to you as well! Stay awesome 😎!

@@DonTinsley I enjoyed XH2S . Nice camera, especially video. If you’re interested, I have a book I will send you. Email me your address. I can’t unload it here as it’s in English. Don’t want to throw it out.

@@DonTinsley the book is Guide to Mastering Your Camera XH2S - Arthur Cam

It’s addictive! Although you can set and forget with Fuji camera, i like to shoot full manual with Fuji just to use the dials 🤣

@@DonTinsley - I figured if I'm going to invest (what to me is) a lot of money in a camera, I want to learn how to use it well. Yesterday, I used it poorly, I forgot what shutter speed meant until I went home to review my blurs. I mean shots.

@ChrisBrogan it’s happens! There’s always a handful of blurs after a days shoot! I just got back from running around in Milwaukee with the X100F and haven’t looked at the photos yet, but I’m sure there’s a handful of blurs in there!

I didn’t notice any vignetting with this lens on the X-H1. Do you have any sample of the vignette?

@@DonTinsley i dont own the lens but have watched many yt reviews of it because i am interested in it. Maybe they vary from copy to copy and you got a good one!

Maybe! I wonder if the vignette was intentional. Are you still interested in getting the lens?

@@DonTinsley yeah i bought the lens. There is def a lot of vignetting at f2. Fun little lens with a lot of character though.

Awesome! Thanks for the sub!

I tried! It was difficult to explain, but is definitely an experience worth experiencing. Thank you!

Always nice to hear from a fellow X-H1 user! Thank you!

Do you have a camera now? If so what are you capturing with?

@@DonTinsley no i dont have camera like this sir but i have a camera phone with 12 mp camera☺

@@lashanrashmitha2116 that 12mp camera can do just as much as this camera can. Creating anything with it?

@@DonTinsley yeah,i use it usually for nature photography.sometimes i take videos but those have not much quality 😄.

These that’s people are looking for low res files. The 12mp camera fits right in!

I agree! Still a powerhouse that just won’t quit!

Sweet! If you’ve posted anything you’ve created with it let me know where to find!

🙏 thank you!

Hey Kamil! Glad they helped! Thank you!🙏

Thank you JC! Possibly!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you!! 🙏

Haha. I couldn’t let this little monster go either! Do you have any questions about the X-H1? Are you wanting tips for photo, video, or both?

@@DonTinsley I went to shoot a video of a football game at night, but the videos had banding in them, was really frustrating and it seems like sonys dont have this issue adjusting for it

@@DonTinsley but to answer your question, FOR BOTH PLEASE

Thank you! What I found is that you have to assign to a Function button to access it. I assigned it to one of the touch functions on the screen.

I agree! There are channels I am subscribed to that have posted weeks of content that I’ve not seen. I have to actually look for their content! I’ve not been going up to Milwaukee as much as I would like but when I do I make the most of it! I’ve not heard of Preset IO I will have to look into them! Dehancer is great but use what works best for you! What s your experience been with Preset IO?

Maybe one day Mirrorless cameras will get there when it comes to battery life. The point is shooting with whatever you want regardless of whatever else is out there on the market. Which Nikon are you shooting with? I just might look into. Have some Nikon lenses I’ve been adapting to other bodies and I’m looking for a Nikon to walk around with.

@@DonTinsley it will not. e=mc2. so bigger battery always mean heavier camera, and it destroyed the illusion of mirrorless is smaller and lighter. i agreed, camera and lens are just tools to creates arts, rembrant can makes masterpiece with charcoal, while we cant even we have the most expensive crayon. i dont have a nikon, currently using nx300, 450d, and em5 mkii. i just borrowing my friend d750 and it battery last very long. currently im very interest with Xh1 and z5 for wedding, but it seems xh1 battery very unreliable for work horse.
