got this refurbished for far under msrp and resale price. best purchase i’ve ever made, it’s become my daily cam and is surprisingly versatile

This lens is beautiful in every word. For now I have the 35mm F2 wr and the Ttartisan 27mm in my xe3. I definitely want him on my team. Great video!

I’ve shot my XE4 at least 4/7 days a week for a year now. I paid 2x the msrp during the run on Fuji cameras. It is my daily driver, and I don’t baby my cameras. The top function button no longer works, but I love it. I rock either the XF 23mm f2 or the Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f1.2. It’s my backup for my work camera, and my B cam for video gigs.

I actually have one

There aren’t any poorly made cameras made now. We get to choose what we want and need. I am an amateur photographer who does street photography. I want a small and lightweight body. I don’t need the benefits a full frame sensor provides. As a result I use crop sensor bodies. I enjoy using Fuji cameras. Fuji cameras have adequate autofocus but not as good as Sony. I like having the nobs and dials to control my cameras. All camera have jpeg standard looks. Fuji has the best selection with their film similations. My favorite B&W jpeg is LUMIX’s L monochrome D. Just gorgeous. No camera is perfect. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

The trade off is newest body gives you the most up to date features at the highest price. Older cameras are less expensive but the features aren’t the best. Do you need the highest qualities or the best price? Is there a middle ground for you? Older camera that took good quality images continue to take good quality images. The question is what do you need? For image stabilization for example, is three axis stabilization adequate for your needs or do you need five? I’ve purchase some old bodies recently. I bought a XE1 a couple months ago. Last month I bought a XE2 for $360 and a LUMIX GX85 for $300. I am awaiting the arrival of of a Sony RX1mii today I paid $400. For me I don’t need the latest & greatest gear even though I can afford it. Older gear produces images that are good enough for me. Feature rich bodies don’t appeal to me as I don’t use most of the features. The great analog photographers never had the features we have even on older bodies. Sometimes, especially for amateur photographers, good enough is good enough. No one ever asked Hemingway what typewriter he used to write his novels. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

I agree, the X-E4 is the best. The Fuji X-T10 was my first camera, and it still works to this day. However, for me, it’s a bit heavy and not really compact, so I bought a Ricoh, only to find out that I hated it. I ended up selling it after just two months of heavy use. Most of the images I took with the Ricoh were blurry, and its low-light performance was bad-nowhere near as sharp as my Fuji X-T10 with the 35mm f/2 lens. Since I couldn’t find anyone selling the X-E4, I bought a Sony a6400. While I loved it, I wasn’t completely happy with it. I’m not sure why, but it felt like I wasn’t doing something I truly enjoyed. With Fuji, I feel like I’m making art every time I take a photo. I got lucky and found someone selling an X-E4 with only 1,000 shutter count-it’s practically like a new camera. Now, I’m at peace. Sony makes great cameras, and I might actually buy another one, maybe the A7CII, but I will never go back to the Ricoh GR III. It’s fragile, overpriced, and has bad autofocus.

X-E1 & 2 have an awesome layout and the X-T1 is another great classic.

first

also tried to do a little bit more b-roll practicing in this one, hope it worked out

How do you set the photo so that it is not blurry?

xt 3 for 500?!! thats crazy steal man, in my country you need to spend like 800 usd

Confirmed, this lens is from another world ❤. And it is very lightweight.

It’s my daily driver, and it’s a super camera with vintage lenses too. I confirm, having the XT4 for paid jobs, that XE4 is not only a spare gear. It’s an absolute underrated banger !! ☺️👍🍀

beginner here. gonna get my first ever camera next week. its gonna be a sony A7RV. I wanna grow into it. no more watching gear videos and buying used and all the hassle

I’m still using an XE2 and a Nikon D7100 regularly 😂

These are very expensive these days , i really dream of owning a fujifilm but i know i will be homeless for few months later

Keep up the good work

I bought 12 yr old Nikon coolpix p510 under $300 42x 24-1000lens great pictures

Good advice! I got a second hand Sony a7r ii for £500 a couple of years ago and it’s been fantastic! Spent some of the money i saved on photography trips instead!

X-T2 still cost €450-€550, you've got a nice deal for that X-T3. I also jump between format and brands by buying and selling used cameras until I settled with the one that I really like. I still keep my ( bought brand new in 2019 ) X-E3 + XF 18-55 f2.8-4 Kit and instead of adding a used X-T2 or X-T3 and one XF prime, I decided to go back to MFT with mint condition Lumix G9 + Leica DG 12-60 f2.8-4 and Lumix 27mm f1.7 for about €1000.You can of course get good set with Fujifilm for the same price. You can also get Sony or Lumix Full Frame with 1 lens for the same price. It just really all comes down to what makes you do the job workwise and have fun personal wise. Nice video! Thanks!

that x-t3 for 500 euro is a steal, it's still a really good camera and the last of the line to be made in Japan(not that it really matter, but it's neat!)

what strap is in the thumbnail?

To just share my experience. A few years ago I got Nikon D5300 because friends suggested me to start with that "I would enjoy that". Got a 35mm 1.8G lens. Looked terrible with chromatic aberration and was still not usable in low light. Got a 18-35 sigma 1.8 lens. Looked okay but had focusing issues. Tried to tune it via this sigma docker and software, but it wasnt a major upgrade. Turns out I am a maximalist pixel peeper and had major focusing issues which means 30-50% of my shots were blurry. In low light conditions it would be even worse and on top extremely noise due to APS-C sensor size. What low-light here means: indoors. Which is where most of the family gatherings happen. There I learned 2 things: 1) These "tiny" cameras are for the layman who enjoy sunlight fotography and does not consider price/value of their purchases. 2) Sensor pixel size, optical stabilization, pixel based auto focus is the key. So for me if I ever get into this DSLR/MILC misery every again it will be something like an Alpha 7 IV where you have giant pixels for low light. 1) Optical stabilizated sensor -> this compansates shaking of your hand and can lower the shutter speed -> more light captured 2) Giant pixels on the fullframe sensor -> increased light sensitivity -> more light captured 3) Sony has/had the best autofocus, especially auto EYE focus and tracking -> when you shoot you dont need to waste time checking the images if they were sharp So no, don't buy old gear. Do your homework and select a combination that matches your expectations. Personally I think it is a waste of money to invest into a "cheaper" APS-C or smaller sensor camera. The overall gain compared to a smartphone (that you already have in your pocket and is always ready, light, portable) is marginal (extra weight, equipment, backpack just for that nice dynamic range) and you would just throw your money out.

I also started at the end of last year and I got a Fujifilm X-T100 (released in 2018). It's cheap because it's one of the entry level bayer sensor camera, but it have a lot of physical dials for easy exposure triangle adjustments, got myself a cheap manual focus prime lens, and that really helped me with learning photography in general. It also have a 3-way tilting lcd so it's quite nice for waist level or low angle shots that I fell in love taking. The only new/upcoming camera I can see buying is the rumored Fuji X-M5, their supposedly new entry level ILC yet compact camera.

very interesting! love the setup😁

Nice video and some beautiful photos! I came from the X10 years ago, had the Panasonic Pen-F (horrible menu, horrible MFT sensor) had the Panasonic DC-LX100 (still bad MFT) finally bought the Fuji XE3 and now having the XE4 which I absolutely love! Besides the 27mm /2.8 I still have the 18-55 which gives me OIS at least... talking of weather resistance... I shot in the rain with my XE4 and it perfectly fine! Ok it wasn't a downpour but it can cope with soft rain just fine... I'm waiting for the XE5 now, hopefully with WR and IBIS... Keep up the good work 🙌🏻

I sold my X-E4 to buy Panasonic S9 which is a great camera but I definitely miss my Fuji. Good thing I didn't sell XF 27mm f2.8 WR. I will wait and buy either new X-M5 which will be even smaller or wait for X-E5. I agree that this combo with 27mm is unbeatable for street / travel.

Waiting for the xe5 next year 😅 Also I think it’s very cool how you got the silver but put the sticker for protection and has a bit of silver coming through.

lol broccoli head

This camera got so scalped, the used price pretty close to MSRP

That font at the beginning looks like it's trying to mimic Japanese kanji lol... not sure if you're aware

Forgot to mention: the xe4 is NOT weather sealed, has only 1 SD card slot and is more directed towards the casual photographer, as i mentioned in this video already. I just wanted to point out some things i forgot. (it can still be used for professional use, 100%)

I'm your 200th subscriber bro💯keep going

I am on my 4th copy of this lens. Long story short (the bot deleted the long version), there was a lot of sample to sample variation. That said, this lens is truly magical. I will never sell it.

These are beautiful shots! I have the x100-t and love it! Great for street photography.

Who said everyone is buying Fujifilm camera? Sony, Canon and Nikon are 3 topmost brands in Mirrorless Cameras.

Everyone is buying Fuji for their fantastic autofocus !

It is great travel 📷 I still use it

It’s always a good day to get out and take photos! 🤙🏼

just bought my first camera, you nailed it, i liked the physical body, quality, filters and i honestly wanted something different. i was gonna get 4/3rds than decided on getting aps-c

I'm not buying Fujifilm cameras, I'm getting rid of them!

Gen Z is on a retro fad right now, so you guys go for this style. Also you were primed with Instax cameras so you want immediate effect on your pics. Older folks shoot with whatever they have, because they can be in control of the style regardless of the camera. From this perspective Fuji color is not the best, because it's inacurate. The cameras look nice, but they're limited compared to a DSLR or anything with a grip in their ergonomics. So I think the Fuji fad is temporary, because many of those Fuji owners will eventually want to earn money with their skills and from there the standard RAW workflow will take over. Fuji is a very nice brand to ease you from taking snaps on your phone, to more complex photography, so I always respected them. Small rangefinders have always been the core of the Bresson Cartier philosophy, so this fad is exposing many young people to fine art photography and I love it.

People say 'everyone is buying Fujifilm' ... But they have 8% market share.

I did not buy Fuji camera. I bought Nikon instead.

Really enjoyed watching, gonna get me some Fujiii

now i want to buy a fujifilm….🙂‍↕️

duuuhhh, it’s because of you🙄😂

Love it!! You have an amazing talent! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 📸
