Good choice, I have to agree with you that the X-H2(s) somehow feels like work, even though I've only had it for a short while. I also recently bought the 33mm 1.4, truly one of the best lenses I've ever used. Next year, I'll definitely be getting the Nikon Zf. I really want to know if Nikon can compete with Fuji in their own game.
Same on the x100v, sold it and happier with my xt3 and my 23mm 1.4 wr and 27mm 2.8 (and other lenses!). Don't miss it at all, other then it looked pretty.
We host workshops in our studio and it continuously amazes me how much (and how big) gear people think they need. Ridiculous f1 or f1.2 lenses in all focal lenghts, large cameras with full grips. You name it. The best advise that I’ve ever heard (from Daniel Milnor) and I pass around is: buy whatever you’re willing to carry around for a full day. No more. That’s often less than what you have.
Timely reminder for me to sell lenses I rarely use. Just need to convince myself I am not selling my kids. I normally take two cameras on a trip with me, XT5 with the 16-80 and 70-300 and 100v. However in places like Venice I almost solely use the 100v. I have owned a Billingham bag for about 6 years. Love it, looks better every time I use it. Enjoy your videos.😊
hoping they make a follow up to the x70 for travel and photo walks, would be cool to have an anamorphic version of the x70. Nice photos, your plants look very lush in the pics
Thanks Goughie. I have been looking for a video exactly like this as I am thinking of a gear change. Currently have the X110V, which I love, but like you, the current price I could get for it is a bit crazy. I'm just afraid that I will really miss it. In the past I have sold stuff (cameras,, keyboards, guitars etc) that I now miss and realize that I didn't really need the cash to be able to get the next thing. As an alternative I have also been looking at the X-Pro 2 rather than the 3. I dont like that screen on the 3 and hope the 4 will revert to type 2 or the X110 V type which has enough freedom of movement for me. I have been unsure about the lenses to get, so your video is very timely. Ha ha, your idea to use your backpack to store and transport your gear is great. On a whim, last year I bought a Wandrd backpack, which is beautiful, but I dont use it. My day bag is a Wotencraft Pilot 7L, which is great for smallish cameras and is my favourite all time bag.
Sold my Xpro-2 for a stupid low price 3 years ago -sold my X100v for a stupid high price this year -was disappointed by the Xpro-3 waiting for the Xpro-4
And I share your take on the X100V. Now that I have an X-T5 with some compact lenses, I am rarely inclined to walk around with my V. My girlfriend uses it more than I as well. Keen to see that upcoming video.
I also use my Lowepro for storage & it never leaves the house. I take the XT4 with a lens & carry a second lens plus miscellaneous gear in my Thinktank Storyteller 10 shoulder bag. Probably going to sell the Lowepro as I have another bag in th house somewhere that I can use for storage.
Love it! We have a similar set up there then! I keep considering swapping the Lowepro one of them large bags that looks like the sort of thing you’d take onto a plane with wheels
I did enjoy my time with the Leica Q! I was always torn over picking that up or the X100V! If it wasn’t for having both a Leica M10 and X100V I’d probably pick one back up
Hi Goughie, good choices and interesting video. I also had a love hate relationship with my 16-55. I ended up selling it off and I now own the very competent Sigma 18-50. It's on my XT-5 90 percent of the time, and I have no regrets at all.
I just subscribed! I’m in to fitness and will start shooting fitness videos in the next few months… is it possible to link the videos you have made or your website with your work? Thanks and great channel! So you shoot video with just your 16-55? You use a gimbal? Is that body good enough in low light? I’m a amateur and Dad photographer and always nice to see Pro Fuji users(besides wedding and travel)
It's because of RUclipsrs that say things like "Fujifilm is a generation behing in terms of camera development" that consumer get the wrong idea and worship brands like Sony, even though their are a lot better options out there, not only from Fuji. But since your're video is about Fujifilm, they're not a generation behind, never were. Been using the xt3 for video when it came out, the autofocus was not perfect but very usable for video. Saying overwise is just plain lie or you don't know what you're talking about. Also, might I remind you that the XT3 boasted 4k 60fps 10bit 4.2.2 at 300mbs, when the Sony a73 could only do 8 bit with cropped 60fps? Today the xh2s can shot 6.2K open gate in ProRes HQ, amazing dynamic range, has little to no rolling shutter, can shot 40fps in photo mode, boast an industry standard cf express type B port, and so on... The XH2 is the first and only apsc camera equipped with a 40mp sensor, and don't get me started with the GFX 100 II : that sensor, that image quality, those megapixels... You get the point. I dare you to find a better speced or more innovative Sony or Canon camera for the price of either of those three. Where did you get "a generation behind" from all that? What you're saying basically is that Fuji will always lag behind because Sony has better autofocus? Even though some Fuji (or other manufacturers like Panasonic) cameras have better specs, features, colors, IBIS, tools, menu, ...? The viewers will get the wrong idea. Unsubscribe
I think you are commenting on the wrong video. But I would say that 95% of pictures that are not in focus are going to the bin. So you can have all the bells and whistles you want, if the picture is blurry because the focus is wrong, it is all useless.

"Welsh Coastal Road Trip" is a great band name.
😂😂

Thank you! Billingham bags are awesome!
Just out of curiosity what are the letters and numbers in the lower right hand corner of your images?
They link to how I have edited my photos using my stackable preset pack
What is your favorite go to recipe for xpro2? I have mini xpro 2, the x100f 😁
Well I’m a little biased… all my cameras run my own recipe! That you can find on the channel
I really did like the X100v a lot but that fixed focal length just didn’t work for me. Thanks to the ridiculous hype it mostly paid for an X-T5.
Exactly this! If you don’t need some of the x100v features, right now you can do so much better with your money
@@Goughie Now if Fuji came up with an updated X20… I could be tempted back into the compact arena 🤔
@@PhilMakesThings have you seen the recent rumours!
@@Goughie … goes to look at the internet… hmmm all I see is news of the Instax Pal.
I see you in 2024 selling all Fuji gear and changing to the new Instax Pal…
Have I missed the joke there 😂 I did consider a little instax for some fun, and to give away and hide some mini prints
@@Goughie 😉
hoping they make a follow up to the x70 for travel and photo walks, would be cool to have an anamorphic version of the x70. Nice photos, your plants look very lush in the pics
There’s rumours!
For bag it's simple :
Wotancraft Pilot 10L or 7L
The best daily/photo bag
That's all folks

It’s definitely not an easy choice that’s for sure! Interesting to see other doing similar with the bags!
Wotancraft Pilot are simply and definitely the best daily/photo bag
Sold my Xpro-2 for a stupid low price 3 years ago -sold my X100v for a stupid high price this year -was disappointed by the Xpro-3 waiting for the Xpro-4
Fingers crossed for the X-Pro4 🤞🏻
And I share your take on the X100V. Now that I have an X-T5 with some compact lenses, I am rarely inclined to walk around with my V. My girlfriend uses it more than I as well. Keen to see that upcoming video.
Which lenses do you like?
I also use my Lowepro for storage & it never leaves the house. I take the XT4 with a lens & carry a second lens plus miscellaneous gear in my Thinktank Storyteller 10 shoulder bag. Probably going to sell the Lowepro as I have another bag in th house somewhere that I can use for storage.

Yeah similar to you I’ve stopped using my x100v. My go to Fuji is the X-T5 that with the 18mm F2 is golden.
There’s something about the XT5 that I really like! It’s hard to explain
awesome video! i love seeing what's in other people's kits hehe this is a good reminder for me to also streamline the amount of gear that i own 😅
Ahahah! We all love being a little nosey!
Liked this a lot, some good thoughts. Just to add if you want to make a few quid from punters buying the 33mm F1.4, it's not in your affiliate links
Thank you! They really need updating! I forget to sort them out as they make next to nothing 😂
We have a very similar setup. X-H2s (love it for work). Graphite XPro2 and now I’ve just bought my dream camera the Leica QP. So impressed by the QP!
I did enjoy my time with the Leica Q! I was always torn over picking that up or the X100V! If it wasn’t for having both a Leica M10 and X100V I’d probably pick one back up

How do you secure the gear left in the camera bag left in the hotel?
Anything of value in the safe, and my insurance covers hotel rooms
How you edit preset
It's so beautiful can give me your preset

Are you having any X-H2S Focus accuracy issues on firmware 3-5.0? Thanks!
I’m using version 5.0 and can’t say that I’m noticing any issues! 🤔
Xpro4 no screen it's a must !!!
It’ll be interesting to see which way they go! Only one of us will be happy 😂
@@Goughie hehe 😄🍭🍭
👍
No more Leicas?
I think I say at the end of the video I still have my Leica stuff, currently still have the M10 + M6 and a few lenses
Haha yes I see. I typed my comment when I was 10 minutes into the video.
I have my M262 with 28 Cron that I use maybe a couple of times a year, but like you said, hard to let go.
@@FotosyMas. you’ve convinced me to take the M10 out on a walk today
Used Fuji bodies are stupid ridiculous.
.... in terms of price. Like dumb actually.
