The problem with Fujifilm
Whilst I love Fujfilm cameras, there are some issues with both the cameras and the company, meaning a full switch is never going to be on the cards...

    I too have tried to find the "perfect" camera bag... but ALWAYS failed, unless I got a Tenba. I only use 3 bags now and all 3 are Ten's (in fact, I tried 4 other brands of backpacks before giving the smallest, yet far & away the best, a go - the Tenba Fulton 14L) - I do not see any RUclipsrs ever talking about Tenba and it is a shame because their bags / systems JUST WORK! Note that I am an APS-C shooter too, so I carry lighter gear (thus the 14L size was so good - and it meets travel "personal item" size in pretty much all airlines)

    The two worst things I've bought weren't all that expensive, but I only used them once. I thought doing sports and being outdoors I would need a rain sleeve and also a monopod, but I was wrong. I bought the right sized rain sleeve but it was too big and didn't stay secure, so I now use those cheap, blue, plastic carrier bags and black tape. The monopd was just a total pain to use, so I've stuck to handheld.

Let's not forget a camera is just a tool and the latest and greatest camera will not necessarily make you a better photographer. I don't shoot video and this has just been my experience.

    I had two Fuji cameras on loan last summer and I use them to shoot pro sports and someone asked me what the auto focus was like and I said, “chaotic.” I don’t mind it for walk around portrait, but even when I was shooting portrait with a model here in downtown Chicago, the auto focus wasn’t as quick and accurate as my Sony. I was sent the XH2 and XH2s with multiple lenses.

  • @Vulcano7965
    @Vulcano7965 3 дня назад

    Honestly, right now it's probably a good time for people getting into photography for the reason you mentioned here 09:06 A professional camera back then now costs like an entry level camera with all the quality that it brings. Sure, you might want to start with an easier system first to get familiar with the basics but an upgrade path to a good DSLR is now better than it has probably ever been. With the establishment of mirrorless systems, lenses for mirror cameras will hopefully also become more and more affordable. And as was said, renting is always and mostly a better option. Although I can see the appeal of not wanting to spend 50-100+ bucks on a lens you use for a few days and maybe don't even make money from, when you can try to get an additional 200-300 bucks and buy one used.

    Indeed the X100 is expensive but regarding lenses fuji is far less expensive than canon or nikon for instance. And that makes fuji really attractive in comparison to the other major brands. AF is a big issue tho and surprisingly Fuji can't solve the problem...

    Regarding bags, I bought a small day pack at Decathlon when I was in Paris last. It is roomy, comfortable, cost about 35 Euros, and, best part, has a separate compartment at the bottom designed to cool your lunch. But the padding is more than sufficient to protect a camera or lens. It also has a little nylon sheet that is meant as a seat, but in fact works as a clean surface for changing lenses, sorting gear, etc. Combined with a Peak Design Capture clip on the shoulder strap, it is the ideal everyday camera bag.

    The X-T3 is the latest real upgrade from Fuji. The rest is all extra BS built around that setup. Fuji is milking the sh*t out of their users I've owned 3 cameras from them where the latest was an X-T5. I quit Fuji for their business decisions. The fact that the AF hardware hasn't been changed for 3 full generations while still marketing it as "state of the art autofocus" shows that they are milking out the hype train with minimal effort.

    You didn't elaborate what your prøblem with the Fuji's autofocus was when making vijeos. My guess is the continuous/single shooting setting crap? I'm using single focus exclusively to avoid overworking the focus motorb, but that doesn't wr0k for vijeos. You need to enable face detection (!) for vijeos. Not for face detection (who cares about that), but because the camera WILL USE CONTINUOUS focus mode for vijeos in this case, regardless of your singe/continuous setting. And this is what you want.

    It’s not like Fuji can’t fulfill the demand it’s just that they don’t want to because that way they have limited units and can inflate the price of their cameras. I personally don’t like their sales method because unlike Leica’s cameras, they are not luxury items. Yep they have great designs and film simulations, but they are not key factors to make me pick a camera over another. Honestly Sony, Nikon and Canon just perform better

      No, the two are completely different. Film simulations burn all the colour into the footage whereas with LOG you will need to colour grade or use LUTS. You might be able to find LUTS that replicate the simulations though.

      @RickBebbington i would browse the firmware patch notes of each camera. The fugi website makes it easy to look at notes. You will notice a bug trend that extended to several models for AI tracking and it seems a couple revisions back they detected it but a bug prevented the fix from leaving another mode where it was stuck on eye tracking. I've seem youtube videos where Fuji users were really happy with the results but it might vary model to model and some models are getting this legacy fix late.

    I began photography in 2023 and I am thankful to have watched a multitude of video like yours about being photographer and not "gear guy". I literally own APS-C camera and 3 lenses that cover the range and use cases I need. it's so tempting looking at those fancy expensive full frame cameras and lenses, but those won't change you as photographer. my whole bag complete with camera, accessories and lenses costs less than a current generation brand new entry level full frame camera and I am ok with it. if I would had to buy an entry level full frame camera with 3 high quality lenses I would have spent 3 times more, about $5000 more to be precise and with all those money you can travel A LOT in Europe, the continent I am in, using trains and short flights. with a 1 to 2 hours flight you can go everywhere and visit vastly different places and cultures.
