Thank you for your video, I've been shooting weddings off and on for 20 years now I want to add cinematic videos to my package and on video has helped me the most. amazing thanks again 🎉
My go-to budget setup used to be a GH5 or GH5s but now you got my rethinking it. This looks amazing. Didn't realize the music videos were shot using the XT-3. I'm slowly investing in EF full frame glass (got a Canon 5D Mark II recently) so I may save this setup in my back pocket for the future.
ah yes those are great cams as well! i haven't had the chance to use them personally but have friends that say great things! i feel like Panasonic is slept on in general tbh. they also have great options with good colors and features at a budget price point that I think for most people will get the job done!
@@blasepivovar really anything! More footage of projects you’ve shot on them, lens tests, Side by side comparisons with the xh2-s etc..I shoot on Sony at my job and have an XT3 for personal use and have been thinking of taking on some client work with my own gear but I haven’t been feeling confident in how it would perform so seeing what you’ve captured is inspiring! I’ve been using the 18-55 kit lens though. Appreciate the reply!
@@user-iw9zo5uc6v love that. if you go check out my vimeo, a good portion of the older work on there was shot on this camera and would be a great resource for what you can get out of it. I am trying to focus my channel mostly on what I am currently using but definitely will keep that in mind when thinking about future videos. Really appreciate the detailed feedback :)
I'm a hobbyist with GAS(gear acquisition syndrome) that likes to play with FUJI cameras for personal projects and I find very helpful and relaxing to watch your videos. Really appreciate your presented options to cheaper gear not just the latest and greatest. Keep the good work, totally love your calm! Cheers.
Another excellent video and some solid recommendations. I too have an XT3, then bought a used XT4 at a great price. Next up was the Sigma 18-35 with the XPro ll adapter which works great. Couple of Fuji primes 23 f1.4 and a 35 f2 prime and now perhaps a 50 f2. So Blase, I cannot agree with you more. These earlier Fuji X bodies are a great way to drop into video, and used well, they provide very professional footage. I really do like your straightforward, info rich videos here on RUclips. Will be looking forward to more.
Ah thanks so much for the reflections Gregory. Dope to hear you have had a similar experience with Fuji. They are such great, affordable options. Appreciate the encouragement and look forward to continue making videos ✌🏼
I use a similar set-up xt-5 with ef glass! But i primarily use a ef canon 16-35 2.8 and the fx 16mm 1.4 for darker shots. I aslo use an ef zeiss distagon 35mm f2, less budget friendly but i use my ef glass to shoot film! ;) so it’s a win/win. Love the video and totally agree the xt-3 is an amazing machine for the price!
I confirm, it is the best kit above the a7iii. I have been working in weddings for 10 years, I have colleagues who work with Sony, honestly the Fujifilm XT3 is above all that range
I absolutely LOVE my XT3 - I personally love adapting lens’s from my old film cameras (Minolta & Mamiya glass) would recommend to anyone. Especially doing cinema work - where manual focus and no IBIS are preferred anyways
Love your videos 📹 ❤️. As you know, I have the fujifilm x-s20. I have the Tamron 17-70mm. I can attest, it is an amazing lens. I also have the ttartisan 25mm f2.0. I a. Currently testing low light performance. I think that is a great recommendation for a second camera for me. I was trying to get the camera you have, but realizing, I can complete great work with this camera and a second like it. Such as the t-3, t-4, or a second x-s20.
totally agree. I think the XH2s is nice, but overkill for some folks depending on what they are needing! would encourage you with those options you listed as well
Can you recommend a camera for shooting low light (like in concerts). Not sure if i should go with a full frame and spend a bit more or just go with a aps-c
@@blasepivovar got a specific camera in mind? Really my only focuse is concert videography and photography (with probaby more focuse on videos). Looking into maybe getting the Sony ilce-7m3, as far as i know (i'm a bit of a newbie) it's pretty good for photography but not sure how goo it is for videography
@@melloooo_ I don't have a specific one to recommend as I don't know much about that niche unfortunately and would hate to steer you in the wrong direction
Yea, good luck with that autofocus from decades past. For photos, I could go for it, but video? You selling people junk. RUclips became lazy at making money on Fuji Church.

Would love to see more on the XT3! Definitely the best looking footage I’ve seen on RUclips
Thanks! What would you like to see?

amazing. yeah fuji + ef glass is so nice. cool to hear you have found similar results and really appreciate the feedback!
I loved my little xt3. Ended up switching to lumix a few weeks ago though. I’ve created alot of great photo and video work with that camera.
Love to hear that. It's such a great little cam :)

MAN I was just saying this to a friend. Fuji first its key for any creator those color profiles change the game.
Haha crazy. Yeah Fuji colors are 🤌
Currently using an XT-3, Viltrox 13 for video (I’m switching from being photography centered to video)
Love that. Yeah can't go wrong with a small, compact, prime lens with the fuji if you know what you are wanting to film :)
Curious as to why the X-T3 rather than an X-H1? Used prices are similar.
Have never used the XH1 but yeah does look pretty similar on paper
ah. just remembered. 10 bit in the XT3 is the obvious choice for me. If IBIS is wanted then the XT4 I would still choose over the XH1
@@blasepivovar Gotcha, makes sense.
Can you recommend a camera for shooting low light (like in concerts). Not sure if i should go with a full frame and spend a bit more or just go with a aps-c
probs a full frame Sony if that was my only focus of work for the super high dual native iso

6:35 + what music is playing in the backround?
Dolci Ricordi by Jacob Lavallee
Do you recommend fuji f2 primes
have never used them
just take a look on Lumix s5II
tough to get a full setup for under $1500 but yeah also a great cam!
@@blasepivovar now its 1780$ with 50 1.8 or 35 mm on B&H . great deal !
How did you got the look of the first footage?
tube light in the window just enhancing the natural light coming from behind

sorry to hear you feel that way. you are welcome to that opinion. when the settings set are up correctly, the AF works great for me :)
