Exactly my thoughts, subbed. This my first time on ur channel and would love to see more on what the xt3 can churn out. Loved everything about the edit as well as story progression. Watched start to end without blinking an eyelid like I was caught in a trance. Beautiful.
In my opinion the Fujifilm system is the most underrated system ever. I am still shooting with the XT2 and Xpro1 and I love it so much. This cameras literally changed my life.
Never comment on videos but the cinematography at the end was some of the most awe inspiring footage I have ever seen. The way you were able to capture the faces of people as they go through the day to day monotonies of life was unbelievably impressive. The urban shots and slowed down night shots in injection with the song of choice just gave me goosebumps. Subscribed.

xt3 is the best affordable hybrid camera but for those doing mostly video, the cheaper bmpcc4k (and with much cheaper lenses ) has a tonality that does not have the video look of xt3, look for yourself and ask yourself which one has a video look (over saturated, over contrasted and over sharpened) and which one has a cine look : ruclips.net/video/tijql_uMnb8/видео.html

@@GxAce so long as the sci-fi is not atheistic like Star Trek. (The 1st Movie was awesome though). Star Wars, thankfully, is not, and it is more Fantasy genre than sci-fi...Fairy tale based on real life morals: father vs son, brother doinks sister, etc. ("one upon a time...in a backyard near near your home..."). Stories by Phillip Dick et al, are usually subversive in a way which renders mankind backwards, narrow, whereas in Star Wars, Lucas said he wanted to make a point that there is a God, thereby inspiring much modern technology (which as in real life comes from devout thinkiers). And he goes around film schools telling them to be more responsible morally, which is the truth.

I still think it's crazy how well the 5 year old Sony A77ii still stacks up to an amazing camera like the XT-3. The 4K shooting is definitely the big winner for the X-T3, but still, so weird how overlooked that camera was. Beautiful video dude!

Ok. Never, EVER have I reached the end of a review for any piece of equipment of any kind, and wanted to watch it again immediately. You got talent my friend, hope to see you move on to even bigger things!
I have got an X-T3 recently, I am blown away by the build quality, ergonomics and images from it. Still getting used to it and the way it works in specific areas like BKT and which film simulations do what. But it is an amazing piece of kit!
Fully agree with you, I have used my XT-2 for 3 years, and not a single moment, I feel unprepared. I have been in the rain, the snow, the windy and after more than 160,000 pictures taken, I still love it much more than other cameras. (90% of the time, I shoot on 56mm 1.2) The video feature on XT-3 is really attractive, and your good works really push my desire to upgrade really hard. Great video !!!
You gotta love how rugged they are! The video features is what sold me on this camera too, as I was using the X-Pro 2 for my videos before this because of the 4K firmware update they did and the amazing color.
Loving this channel. I use to be a Fuji xt3 shooter and moved onto Sony a7rIV. Though I wouldn't say it was a bad switch as a landscape photographer. It definitely wasn't the right one for me. I miss Fuji, the dials, the COLORS!!! everything about it and constantly reminding me how fun it is to have that camera in hand. Glad to see a really well put together channel promote Fuji. With that said, I've been trying to sell all my Sony gear and hopefully soon return back to Fuji.
You have such a fantastic eye for stills. Great intro, good music and incredible scenario. It looks like you are inside of Gallactica while filming this review. Thank you for spending your time with us!
Thank you for spending time with me! Those are super kind words and its comments like this that motivate me to make more stuff, even when real life makes it tough to make content consistently
I absolutely love my XT3, hands down best purchase ever. I previously had a Canon M50, and this was an unbelievable upgrade. keep up the awesome videos!
This may just be my favorite video review of a camera ever. Hits that needed balance of examining the technical performance of the X-T3, while also demonstrating the sheer level of artistry that can be achieved with the camera. I previously was planning on getting a Blackmagic Pocket 4K as my next camera to upgrade from my Panasonic G85, but my current circumstances and possible job opportunities where I live indicate that I’d be much better off investing in a hybrid camera rather than strictly a cinema camera. To that end, as you point out wonderfully here, Fujifilm is just flat out ahead of the pack. There’s genuine SOUL to these cameras, man!
Well GX, you've convinced me to purchase an X-T4. I'm a Sony A7III shooter and use mine professionally, I've been patiently waiting for the mythical A7SIII to arrive but have fallen on deaf ears. I'm buying the X-T4 and running it more in a full frame style for video and then having it as a fun photo camera to run around with. Thank you for the cinematic B-Roll. It's very underrated and you deserve more subscriptions.
This is the best produced review of a camera I’ve ever seen 👏👏👏 I had a chance to try out the XT3 a few weeks ago and I agree with you, it’s probably one of the best camera available
Best XT3 video on youtube. Such good production quality! Bravo. I switched from full frame earlier this year and now have a pair if XT3s, the 50-140, and am working on completing my collection of the Fujicrons. Looking forward to a fujicron/ronin sc video rig. No need for full frame. No looking back.
I feel like you are sitting in a spaceship in all of your videos. And you, my man, you are something else. I wish, your talent doesn't go unappreciated and you would gain more subscribers. Because this is art in it's truest form.
Great footage and review. I have the X-T3 for almost a year, but lost inspiration to go shoot on the X-T3. Your review just lit the fire to my creativity and I’m heading out to do some creative work on the T3. Thanks!!!
It always feel good to hear some love for Fuji APSC gear. Been using Fuji gear for over 4 1/2 years and continue to enjoy using all that I have. Thank you for posting this video - greatly enjoyed it.
I'm so glad RUclips recommended me your post.. It's one of those days when the YT algorithm actually worked for me.. Loved the video samples.. I'm a fellow mft user myself and I love using my little hybrid camera.. But having said that, the video samples you showed us are just amazing.. Especially the montage sequence at the end.. And that soundtrack went so well with it..!
Im glad it did too! Thank you! It's a lot of fun putting together these videos and I definitely like to actually live up to the term "cinematic", a term I feel most youtubers really dont live up to ;)
Absolutely blown away by your images!! Got the X-T3 just before the summer and it's by far the best and most satisfying digital camera I've used. Great video!
You know what, I don’t really care about XT3. I’m here for your amazing photography and cinematography. Best photography channel in my option and you deserve more audience. Keep up the great work! That said, any thoughts on the upcoming X-Pro 3.
hahahah This comment is awesome! Thank you! I really want to try and broaden this channel out to more than just gear but Im having a hard time figuring out how to do it while maintaining the moody sci-fi style. I think the X-Pro 3 is going to be awesome. I love the screen since it emulates using a film camera more and as long as it folds down and I can use it to shoot video then I'm all in. Hopefully the video specs match the XT3, and if they do I will switch to the X-Pro. I loved shooting with my X-Pro 2. It made me WANT to shoot with it all the time. Cheers and thanks for the support!
Well said, I also Fujifilm User too... I used X-A1 for my personal gear and just bought X-T30 for my companies that I work. even the X-A1 is not a video focused camera, heck! even you can't control the movie setting in it! except focus and resolution... but I done some of video works with that X-A1 and my friend and colleges always satisfied with my works. The X-T30 that I bought also very capable camera, which I actually hope to buy X-H1 for them which much more video pack and fully equipped feature for movie making, but the budget don't allow it, and they didn't want to Pre-order of 50% rebate off version (which I heard the camera will arrive in October for people who bought 50% off, but you get extra battery and grip as I remember). but one take note here, especially for all of you who amazed by the cinematography in this video: understand your tools deeply, often watch or see people works, and finally try to recreated it. if you can do those 3 point, you can make movies with your tools that you have... because maybe He also start at very low level equipment, learn and try, then save some money, and buy better equipment, and the cycle repeat... because at the end, your experience is what you being paid for, not your status or school name.
@@GxAce You're Welcome, and can't wait to see the challange!! some suggestion, how about my gear? the first Fujifilm Interchangable Lens Mirrorless with bayer sensor, X-A1. That camera is pretty bad for now day standard, if I can say anything bad about it: The ISO setting is totally AUTO (prepare for grainy and noisy video at night and recover those shadow, you get the grain and block), very lacking Manual control (you only can set exposure before hand and can't change it when on recording), the Dynamic Range is totally terrible for cinema (also H-Tone and S-Tone is no effect at all), No Mic input, and the AF is totally jumpy and hunting (pre-era of Phase Detection on Chip Sensor on X System), oh also the resolution is quite bad for video as X-A1 is not supersampling from higher resolution capture like X-T2 and foward ( so expect some moire on high frequency object like fabric or fences n certain angle)... but I think you can create some awesome footage, like very nostalgic scene with it, like blown out highlight when shoot backlight or totally sharp contrast fotages. more ugly result? try first gen X-Trans Sensor camera, I heard they quite bad, even more mad compared to my X-A1.
Wow. This is how all camera reviews need to be done... you gave the audience a reason to believe that you know what you're talking about. Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed to see, you just sold this camera for me :)
Thank you for this lovely video-supremely executed, wonderfully narrated, and hugely inspiring. I absolutely love how thoughtful your channel is and the editing is truly superb.
a year ago. i watched this video for the first time now 1 year later ive watched it 7 times and.. i still love it way too much i really want to become just as talanted as you are! Your a great inspiration and i love your work. you have motivated me countless times to go out and shoot and create art.
I just purchased an XT3, I came from the XH1 and I thought that I would probably send the XT3 back after a week, but 3 days on and I'm selling the XH1, its so small and compact, with the 16mm f2.8 this is the perfect hybrid camera. This video is superb, best review Ive ever seen
That was an incredible review. Great cinematography and editing. I was considering replacing my Sony a6300 with another Sony, but this makes me reconsider. Although a whole system change can be very costly. Keep up the great work!
I use a Canon SL1, and I am surprised at how cinematic some of my shots have been, with the right lighting and right exposure, even a $200 camera helps. It's an APS-C as well.
I have to say that the only reason that I've been considering getting a full frame, instead of the X-T3, is the low light capability but damn, after seeing this I don't think that I should be that worried if I end up going with the Fuji...
I own an X-T2 and got a Sony A7r II (both are quite old) and was quite sad to see that the low light capability was not better on the Sony, despite my expectations (but the definition is, of course, a bit better, because of the size of the sensor and the additional MPX)
Seriously I’m probably not going to change out of my system right now- but these videos are so well done. I enjoy just watching your edits and hearing your opinions.
Wow... I was looking to upgrade to the xh2s, but this video made me change my mind. I find new reasons to love the xt3 every time I use it. Also.... this video has a very "Blade Runner" feel to it. Nicely done.
I am the biggest critic when it comes to videos.. but this inspired me. I feel moved in so many ways after watching this piece of art. Well done👌🏻 please keep creating content that is pleasing to the eyes/soul
Whenever I watch a camera gear video, I automatically skip the first 20-30 seconds because I can't stand the obligatory "HAY WUTS GOIN ON GUYS" intro and energy. Well done for being different. Oh and your production and style are good etc etc :p
ya totally, like Cody Blue camera reviews. Reminds me of Bethel Aszuza evangelical movement funded by Talmudic social engineers wanting to spread more Utopian la-la-land fantasy to maintain the Usury status quo through false theology of Televangelists waving capes around "healing" planted actors.
I enjoy your videos so, so much man. In a RUclips that is absolutely saturated with the same camera reviews by the same overexcited dudes, your videos stand apart with their moody atmosphere and straightforward, unexaggerated format. I really wanted to go with Fuji when I could finally afford to buy another camera, but knew that Canon would offer me unbeatable value for the time being, so I’ll stick with my cheap but solid 200D until I can afford an XT-3. Great review, I love seeing such detailed coverage on something that isn’t another Song a7!!!! Keep up the killer work, you’ve got a sub from me!
@@BrandonTalbot it is not the camera that will give you that look but lighting so buy a sub $300 camera ( ruclips.net/video/MeBNSOTa1_c/видео.html ) and a $50 fast vintage prime) and invest on lighting instead
I'm a noob filmmaker but I'm learning, I can totally agree with your points. I also think the same, if you take my APSC camera and I take your super high end cinema line camera. Your footage will still be plenty of times greater what makes me think more of an experience and creative hustle rather than fancy ass gears.
Just bought a x-t3 and wanted to watch some more reviews on it after the fact. But my god man, you are talented with the cinematography. The edit at the end was absolutely riveting.
Nice video and good summary of the strong points. I wish that the X-T3 had just a bit more dynamic range, which is why I am still sticking with my a6500 for now. Granted, the SLOG on my 8-bit sony means that I lose a LOT of color information in the highlights. And I get more noise in the shadows when compared to FLOG (at least in the sample footage I have been able to play around with). If Fuji releases a firmware update that helps increase the DR of FLOG further, then I would probably jump ship.
I haven't noticed a big difference in dynamic range between Sony and Fuji. Techincally with the way you should be exposing S-LOG correctly you end up with a but less dynamic range than you might think. ruclips.net/video/jRI40Gl4I8g/видео.html
Amazing video! As a fuji xt3 shooter myself I got really inspired watching this. The images you create in both video and stills are beautiful. And I really dig the sci-fi vibe!
Thanks! You can definitely get great footage out of both, but I like having the smallest possible camera I can, so for me its the XT3 all the way! Also, cinema cameras dont have IBIS so why should I need it?
Damn.. that B roll was nearly a movie trailer. You have the senses dude! The shots, the tones and the score. Captured me right within the first 5 seconds.. I already own and love the X-T3, but, more than glad RUclips recommended this. You've got my sub dear sir.

I have been in the rain, the snow, the windy and after more than 160,000 pictures taken, I still love it much more than other cameras. (90% of the time, I shoot on 56mm 1.2)
The video feature on XT-3 is really attractive, and your good works really push my desire to upgrade really hard.
Great video !!!
You gotta love how rugged they are! The video features is what sold me on this camera too, as I was using the X-Pro 2 for my videos before this because of the 4K firmware update they did and the amazing color.
Just when you thought there were enough camera talk channels :O Amazing camera presence and the most cinematic B roll ever!
Hahaha. I agree that there are too many, but I wanted to make sure I could throw my hat into the ring before it was too late ;P Thank you!!!
I dig your style... it's gritty cyberpunky and yet it feels very warm...
Loving this channel. I use to be a Fuji xt3 shooter and moved onto Sony a7rIV. Though I wouldn't say it was a bad switch as a landscape photographer. It definitely wasn't the right one for me. I miss Fuji, the dials, the COLORS!!! everything about it and constantly reminding me how fun it is to have that camera in hand. Glad to see a really well put together channel promote Fuji. With that said, I've been trying to sell all my Sony gear and hopefully soon return back to Fuji.
XH2 is here waiting for you :)
wow this video is just mesmerizing. this is not a product review. this is art.
Hahahah. Thank you!!
You have such a fantastic eye for stills. Great intro, good music and incredible scenario. It looks like you are inside of Gallactica while filming this review. Thank you for spending your time with us!
Thank you for spending time with me! Those are super kind words and its comments like this that motivate me to make more stuff, even when real life makes it tough to make content consistently
When your video is better than the product promotional video itself
Masterpiece of craft. Just rewatched intro for the third time! 🔥🔥🔥
Wow! You may have just set a record! thank you so much!!
Haha me too! Great job man
I absolutely love my XT3, hands down best purchase ever. I previously had a Canon M50, and this was an unbelievable upgrade. keep up the awesome videos!
"I hope morning will coming soon"
this video gives me the vibe that after the sun goes down, it will never rise again for a long-time period
This may just be my favorite video review of a camera ever. Hits that needed balance of examining the technical performance of the X-T3, while also demonstrating the sheer level of artistry that can be achieved with the camera.
I previously was planning on getting a Blackmagic Pocket 4K as my next camera to upgrade from my Panasonic G85, but my current circumstances and possible job opportunities where I live indicate that I’d be much better off investing in a hybrid camera rather than strictly a cinema camera. To that end, as you point out wonderfully here, Fujifilm is just flat out ahead of the pack. There’s genuine SOUL to these cameras, man!
Best camera I've owned but you just made me fall in love with it again on a whole new level! Fantastic review
Glad I could be of service ;) Thank you!
Well GX, you've convinced me to purchase an X-T4.
I'm a Sony A7III shooter and use mine professionally, I've been patiently waiting for the mythical A7SIII to arrive but have fallen on deaf ears.
I'm buying the X-T4 and running it more in a full frame style for video and then having it as a fun photo camera to run around with.
Thank you for the cinematic B-Roll. It's very underrated and you deserve more subscriptions.
This is the best produced review of a camera I’ve ever seen 👏👏👏 I had a chance to try out the XT3 a few weeks ago and I agree with you, it’s probably one of the best camera available
That is a very high standard to live up to for my next video hahaha thanks for watching!
Best XT3 video on youtube. Such good production quality! Bravo. I switched from full frame earlier this year and now have a pair if XT3s, the 50-140, and am working on completing my collection of the Fujicrons. Looking forward to a fujicron/ronin sc video rig. No need for full frame. No looking back.
i just bought the X-T3, so when you posted this i knew it was the right choice. you make some awesome videos and i wish you would post more
Thank you! I wish I would too. Real life has been getting in the way recently but I'm hoping to figure out a way to dedicate more time to youtube.
I feel like you are sitting in a spaceship in all of your videos. And you, my man, you are something else. I wish, your talent doesn't go unappreciated and you would gain more subscribers. Because this is art in it's truest form.
dude, this is the coolest review i've ever watch
Thank you for watching then!
The production quality on this channel is through the roof.
Great footage and review. I have the X-T3 for almost a year, but lost inspiration to go shoot on the X-T3. Your review just lit the fire to my creativity and I’m heading out to do some creative work on the T3. Thanks!!!
That's amazing to hear!! Get out and shoot!! :D
It always feel good to hear some love for Fuji APSC gear. Been using Fuji gear for over 4 1/2 years and continue to enjoy using all that I have. Thank you for posting this video - greatly enjoyed it.
They really stepped up their game with this camera, that's for sure! Thanks for watching!
I'm so glad RUclips recommended me your post.. It's one of those days when the YT algorithm actually worked for me.. Loved the video samples.. I'm a fellow mft user myself and I love using my little hybrid camera.. But having said that, the video samples you showed us are just amazing.. Especially the montage sequence at the end.. And that soundtrack went so well with it..!
Im glad it did too! Thank you! It's a lot of fun putting together these videos and I definitely like to actually live up to the term "cinematic", a term I feel most youtubers really dont live up to ;)
Absolutely blown away by your images!! Got the X-T3 just before the summer and it's by far the best and most satisfying digital camera I've used. Great video!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you are liking the cam!
Haven’t seen such inspiring and moving composition for a long time. Reminds me of what this is all about.
Wow! Thank you so much!
Godfrey Jemand lol what!! Yes I did actually buy a Fuji. Canon and Nikon don’t do 4K60 at this price and size.
You’re videos are incredible. This one right here is the reason I’m a proud owner of the XT3!
Thanks so much! Its an awesome camera, you should be proud :)
You know what, I don’t really care about XT3. I’m here for your amazing photography and cinematography. Best photography channel in my option and you deserve more audience. Keep up the great work!
That said, any thoughts on the upcoming X-Pro 3.
hahahah This comment is awesome! Thank you! I really want to try and broaden this channel out to more than just gear but Im having a hard time figuring out how to do it while maintaining the moody sci-fi style.
I think the X-Pro 3 is going to be awesome. I love the screen since it emulates using a film camera more and as long as it folds down and I can use it to shoot video then I'm all in. Hopefully the video specs match the XT3, and if they do I will switch to the X-Pro. I loved shooting with my X-Pro 2. It made me WANT to shoot with it all the time. Cheers and thanks for the support!
GxAce Look how “media division@ does it on youtube. Very unique & moody
Well said, I also Fujifilm User too... I used X-A1 for my personal gear and just bought X-T30 for my companies that I work. even the X-A1 is not a video focused camera, heck! even you can't control the movie setting in it! except focus and resolution... but I done some of video works with that X-A1 and my friend and colleges always satisfied with my works. The X-T30 that I bought also very capable camera, which I actually hope to buy X-H1 for them which much more video pack and fully equipped feature for movie making, but the budget don't allow it, and they didn't want to Pre-order of 50% rebate off version (which I heard the camera will arrive in October for people who bought 50% off, but you get extra battery and grip as I remember).
but one take note here, especially for all of you who amazed by the cinematography in this video: understand your tools deeply, often watch or see people works, and finally try to recreated it. if you can do those 3 point, you can make movies with your tools that you have... because maybe He also start at very low level equipment, learn and try, then save some money, and buy better equipment, and the cycle repeat... because at the end, your experience is what you being paid for, not your status or school name.
Well said!! Thank you for watching! I want to make a video soon of using really bad camera gear while still making it look awesome :)
@@GxAce You're Welcome, and can't wait to see the challange!! some suggestion, how about my gear? the first Fujifilm Interchangable Lens Mirrorless with bayer sensor, X-A1. That camera is pretty bad for now day standard, if I can say anything bad about it: The ISO setting is totally AUTO (prepare for grainy and noisy video at night and recover those shadow, you get the grain and block), very lacking Manual control (you only can set exposure before hand and can't change it when on recording), the Dynamic Range is totally terrible for cinema (also H-Tone and S-Tone is no effect at all), No Mic input, and the AF is totally jumpy and hunting (pre-era of Phase Detection on Chip Sensor on X System), oh also the resolution is quite bad for video as X-A1 is not supersampling from higher resolution capture like X-T2 and foward ( so expect some moire on high frequency object like fabric or fences n certain angle)...
but I think you can create some awesome footage, like very nostalgic scene with it, like blown out highlight when shoot backlight or totally sharp contrast fotages.
more ugly result? try first gen X-Trans Sensor camera, I heard they quite bad, even more mad compared to my X-A1.
Instant fan. You’re video quality is out of this world. You just gained a sub.
Thank you so much! I hope to only increase the quality as I find more time to make these videos!
Wow. This is how all camera reviews need to be done... you gave the audience a reason to believe that you know what you're talking about. Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed to see, you just sold this camera for me :)
Are you sitting in a space ship? 😄 Looks awesome mate 🔥
Possibly :) Thanks!
Actually the best camera review on RUclips of the best camera ever made. Period.
Thank you for this lovely video-supremely executed, wonderfully narrated, and hugely inspiring. I absolutely love how thoughtful your channel is and the editing is truly superb.
Thank you very much! I'm eternally humbled by comments like these. :)
a year ago. i watched this video for the first time now 1 year later ive watched it 7 times and.. i still love it way too much i really want to become just as talanted as you are! Your a great inspiration and i love your work. you have motivated me countless times to go out and shoot and create art.
Amazing video mate, thanks!
I just purchased an XT3, I came from the XH1 and I thought that I would probably send the XT3 back after a week, but 3 days on and I'm selling the XH1, its so small and compact, with the 16mm f2.8 this is the perfect hybrid camera. This video is superb, best review Ive ever seen
So glad youtube recommended you, best thing e v e r
I'm glad it did too!! Thanks!!
Best video on the xt3 on RUclips, and I've sure as hell seen all of them. Kudos!
I'm sorry to have added one more to your watch list! ; P Thanks for watching!
That was an incredible review. Great cinematography and editing. I was considering replacing my Sony a6300 with another Sony, but this makes me reconsider. Although a whole system change can be very costly. Keep up the great work!
It definitely can be costly! I try to invest in manual focus lenses so I can use them on any system :) Thank you for watching!!
This is just not the best camera review I’ve ever seen, this is one of the best videos on RUclips PERIODT.
This video just screams quality my man, amazing
I'll try not to scream it next time. Maybe just a conversational volume ;)
Thanks so much for the real world cinematic review of the Fujifilm X-T3 camera. I just purchased an X-T3 for travel photography and videography.
I use a Canon SL1, and I am surprised at how cinematic some of my shots have been, with the right lighting and right exposure, even a $200 camera helps. It's an APS-C as well.
Absolutely! All cameras are good these days
I absolutely love my XT3. Its so easy to make the footage look epic.
Its a fantastic camera for sure!
I have to say that the only reason that I've been considering getting a full frame, instead of the X-T3, is the low light capability but damn, after seeing this I don't think that I should be that worried if I end up going with the Fuji...
I own an X-T2 and got a Sony A7r II (both are quite old) and was quite sad to see that the low light capability was not better on the Sony, despite my expectations (but the definition is, of course, a bit better, because of the size of the sensor and the additional MPX)
@@Baudryvincent really? We hear so much about the low light capabilities of Sony... Another nail in the coffin I guess
@@FilipeSalgueiroo I'm not saying Sony is not good, I'm saying Fuji is pretty good too :)
Seriously I’m probably not going to change out of my system right now- but these videos are so well done. I enjoy just watching your edits and hearing your opinions.
i'm working on my long term review as well. I was trying to be the first one on youtube, but you beat me lol. Awesome visuals as always!
I'm looking forward to your video! Thanks for the kind words!
Wow... I was looking to upgrade to the xh2s, but this video made me change my mind. I find new reasons to love the xt3 every time I use it. Also.... this video has a very "Blade Runner" feel to it. Nicely done.
Gobsmacking cinematics at the end there mate, awesome review, makes me wish I hadn't dedicated to Olympus.
Thank you! Most cameras are awesome these days. Just focus on the light and you will make awesome stuff regardless of the camera :)
I am the biggest critic when it comes to videos.. but this inspired me. I feel moved in so many ways after watching this piece of art. Well done👌🏻 please keep creating content that is pleasing to the eyes/soul
Whenever I watch a camera gear video, I automatically skip the first 20-30 seconds because I can't stand the obligatory "HAY WUTS GOIN ON GUYS" intro and energy. Well done for being different. Oh and your production and style are good etc etc :p
ya totally, like Cody Blue camera reviews. Reminds me of Bethel Aszuza evangelical movement funded by Talmudic social engineers wanting to spread more Utopian la-la-land fantasy to maintain the Usury status quo through false theology of Televangelists waving capes around "healing" planted actors.
I enjoy your videos so, so much man. In a RUclips that is absolutely saturated with the same camera reviews by the same overexcited dudes, your videos stand apart with their moody atmosphere and straightforward, unexaggerated format. I really wanted to go with Fuji when I could finally afford to buy another camera, but knew that Canon would offer me unbeatable value for the time being, so I’ll stick with my cheap but solid 200D until I can afford an XT-3. Great review, I love seeing such detailed coverage on something that isn’t another Song a7!!!! Keep up the killer work, you’ve got a sub from me!
Im two paychecks away from getting this camera. I’m so excited 😩😩😩
You are almost there!! :D
i love your background, it has the blade runner mood, so much more personality than all these youtubers videographers backgrounds
I would have to agree with you on that ;) Thanks for watching!
Definitely the blade runner vibe! I loved it. Makes me want this camera so bad. I’ve been eying it for the better part of year now
@@BrandonTalbot it is not the camera that will give you that look but lighting so buy a sub $300 camera ( ruclips.net/video/MeBNSOTa1_c/видео.html ) and a $50 fast vintage prime) and invest on lighting instead
dude your set design when you speak to the camera looks so cool, id love to see a video of how you set that up
Its too embarrassing to talk about. Soooooo handmade hahaah
@@GxAce thats hollywood baybayyy!
@@ryansulak For sure ;)
pretty sure you actually live in a spaceship ;)
so it’s November 2022 and i just bought an X-T3 new. love it
You have to show us ur settings for the Fuji xt3 and editing !!!
TERRY CO I’d love to see that as well.
just 24p 1/48 and eterna :) Sometimes 60fps but always 180 degree shutter
I'll make a video about it sometime soon!
I'm a noob filmmaker but I'm learning, I can totally agree with your points. I also think the same, if you take my APSC camera and I take your super high end cinema line camera. Your footage will still be plenty of times greater what makes me think more of an experience and creative hustle rather than fancy ass gears.
Hey Casey, whats a good flat color profile to shoot on fuji cameras for grading in post!
I have a fuji Xt100
Just bought a x-t3 and wanted to watch some more reviews on it after the fact. But my god man, you are talented with the cinematography. The edit at the end was absolutely riveting.
I'm glad you found my video! I also watch reviews after buying a camera to pump myself up about it haha. Thanks for watching!
Nice video and good summary of the strong points. I wish that the X-T3 had just a bit more dynamic range, which is why I am still sticking with my a6500 for now. Granted, the SLOG on my 8-bit sony means that I lose a LOT of color information in the highlights. And I get more noise in the shadows when compared to FLOG (at least in the sample footage I have been able to play around with). If Fuji releases a firmware update that helps increase the DR of FLOG further, then I would probably jump ship.
I haven't noticed a big difference in dynamic range between Sony and Fuji. Techincally with the way you should be exposing S-LOG correctly you end up with a but less dynamic range than you might think. ruclips.net/video/jRI40Gl4I8g/видео.html
Amazing video! As a fuji xt3 shooter myself I got really inspired watching this. The images you create in both video and stills are beautiful. And I really dig the sci-fi vibe!
Brilliant review!
How do you think the XT-3 compares with the X-H1?
Thanks! You can definitely get great footage out of both, but I like having the smallest possible camera I can, so for me its the XT3 all the way! Also, cinema cameras dont have IBIS so why should I need it?
Dude, your aesthetic next level. I literally had chills. It felt other worldly.
Wow! That's intense. I was hoping it didn't just feel like I was rambling on for 11 minutes
Lovely review and information about this camera. What is the name of the song you have in the background at the end of the video?
Thank you! I'll have to double check on the song!
This video makes me so happy to own the X-T3 and helps to calm the GAS syndrome.
Thank you.
How did you black out (or remove) the Fujifilm logo?
Just a bit of gaffers tape!
One of the best reviews I’ve seen on the xt3. Love mine
Thanks!! Love mine too :)
Where'd you find the backdrop for these shots, within the first min I was just in awe. Digging the dark dystopia theme.
Its too embarrassing to reveal right now. Sooooooo low budget hahahah
Damn.. that B roll was nearly a movie trailer. You have the senses dude! The shots, the tones and the score. Captured me right within the first 5 seconds.. I already own and love the X-T3, but, more than glad RUclips recommended this. You've got my sub dear sir.
Thanks!! I'm glad you dig the style too! I'm glad youtube recommended it to you :) Thanks for the support!
