GxAce speedbooster for fx mount existed which I used if I need shallower DOF. Otherwise FF isnt needed. All about what felt great in hands, how reliable it performs and does it motivates you enough to create art. I owned X-T3 as well, awesome tool!
I rarely comment but I hope you see this. This was truly great cinematography from start to finish. I know that gear gets more clicks, but I would love to see some videos where you talk about your process in terms of composition, lighting, angle of filming, color grading, etc etc. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much for taking the time to right this in that case! You are definitely right about the gear videos getting the clicks. I plan to grow my audience a bit before I start diving into that kind of video, but I want to try and shoehorn that into reviews as well to make sure they are a step ahead of the competition :). Thanks for watching!

Dude, that was some of the most satisfying 11 minutes I spent on RUclips lately ! Everything from the quality of the footage, the creativity for the set and lighting, to the super stylish opening (damn that font !), to the choice of the music... everything just oozes quality ! Great eye, and great work, man ! That's an instant sub, here !
Thank you so much! Its comments like these that keep me motivated to do RUclips, despite real life getting in the way pretty often. I'd love to make more time to produce content more consistently!
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.
Love the video! For anyone who want the names of the songs used, I found some: 1. Watermark High - Wrongthink 2. Trevor James Tillery - Identity 3. Luke Atencio - Eggshell (Shazam does wonders!) What a mood...
@@GxAce you really should credit the musicians used, to give them a chance at recouping the far-higher-expense-than-video that it costs produce quality music recordings. Makes me wonder if you pirated a lot b4? or still? It's good that music is very important to your editing process, so why not just give the credits? Or is the latter not that important to you?
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. Most film school students are short-term S-types leaning far Left without knowing what they're talking about, other than spreading more porn or girl-on-girl (like JJ Abrams does) for short term gain, thinking that they are "modern", and "the future", lol. . That said, the orig Star Wars was mostly shot in 35mm yes? So the secret to their incredible cinematic look was the good ole vintage Panavision Glass and competent DP's, yes? Do you get Cinefx mag?
Wow! The video portion at the end was so beautiful! I got goosebumps! The elevator opening in 120 fps with the flickering floor number was just stunning!

Wow! Thank you for such an amazing comment. Seriously appreciate it. Its hard balancing work life with youtube life, but its comments like these than motivate me to keep going. Thank you so much for the support!
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!
GxAce has in my opinion some of the best review videos on the platform in general. You never want to click away and the quality is out of the water. It’s just amazing.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 ;)
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
A year and a half later, new to your channel, but I have to say it, this is the most engaging and visual camera review that I've ever seen, loved every second of it.
Fantastic images you start showing from 0:50 !!! Those neon light colors and how each of the scenes looks so cinematic! They could be stills from a near-future cyberpunk movie! Keep up the great content!!
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!
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!
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 :)
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)
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 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
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?
Still a great camera in 2023. C.C. your cinematography is fantastic. And you loving Fujifilm is quite an endorsement. I finally switched to the X mount after Canon abandoned the M mount.
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.
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.
SIR THAT COLOUR GRADING I believe we need a tutorial or a walk through or a chit chat anything that resembles an ounce of that wisdom you cary when it comes to color grading. it is phenomenal!!!
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
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.
When it comes to photography - do you shoot in raw most of the time? Also, when you do video production with this bd boy, what is your rig setup? Do you use a SmallRig type of rig? Handheld, gimbal etc? I’d love to see more videos by you and I’ve been following for s long time :)
I have my XT3 setup to shoot raw plus jpeg to separate cards. Its a toss up if I end up using the jpeg and just editing it on my phone or wait until I get to a computer to edit the RAW. I don't usually use a rig for shooting since I don't like the extra weight. I did recently get a cage and some mounting stuff for the camera but this will be used for my in-studio stuff only. I also really dont like gimbals out of principal. People use them WAY too much and it really just makes their stuff worse in my opinion; the camera is always just floating around.
GxAce Great advice - I’m guessing due to not rigging, you tend to shoot internally rather than using a recorder like the Ninja V? Also, when you shoot handheld, do you tend to shoot 24P and 60P? Just trying to figure out how other professional shooters using this camera use it - in regards to settings it up for shooting and how they actually use it.
I have! Its awesome actually. I shot a Sponsor reel for a film festival with the Fuji and anamorphic and it turned out awesome. I might post it here but it may be too different from my other content.
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.
Bruh, you look like you are doing a review from the ship in the matrix. Thanks for the long term review.....i've been on the fence about switching from sony to fuji.....this might of just made me jump ship
Hands down this was the best Fuji X-T3 presentation I have ever seen, Fuji should hire you .... the only problem I can see with this camera is a rather steep price and lenses are not exactly budget-friendly.
Hahaha. I wouldn't be opposed to that ;) I think for what it offers the price is pretty reasonable, especially if you pick up a used one. Definitely compared to the Sony full frame cameras.
Definitely reasonably priced accordingly, the Fuji pricing has certainly come down since the premium price of the X100 when that camera became very popular. Quality vs price on their lenses is also very competitive and more third party lenses are coming onto to the market nowadays
@@kkam7044 What I wished to say was X-T3+decent lens equals more money than Sony A7III+kit lens and that is battle that Fuji loses easily. You see top tier APS-C cameras are very (dangerously) close at price to full-frame if you add pricey lenses....what would you choose?

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!!!
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 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.
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.
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 ;)
wow this video is just mesmerizing. this is not a product review. this is art.
Hahahah. Thank you!!
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!
I absolutely love my XT3. Its so easy to make the footage look epic.
Its a fantastic camera for sure!
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
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!
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!
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!!!
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!
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. :)
so it’s November 2022 and i just bought an X-T3 new. love it
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!!
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 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
A year and a half later, new to your channel, but I have to say it, this is the most engaging and visual camera review that I've ever seen, loved every second of it.
Are you sitting in a space ship? 😄 Looks awesome mate 🔥
Possibly :) Thanks!
Fantastic images you start showing from 0:50 !!! Those neon light colors and how each of the scenes looks so cinematic! They could be stills from a near-future cyberpunk movie! Keep up the great content!!
That’s my goal with those photos so it looks like I succeeded :)
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
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 :)
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 what a way to convince an audience to get a camera! You definitely sold me!
Incredibly talented and your efforts are not unnoticed!
Jade Lively thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement!!
dude, this is the coolest review i've ever watch
Thank you for watching then!
Actually the best camera review on RUclips of the best camera ever made. Period.
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 :)
Your reviews are so... cinematic for RUclips. So tasteful shots and editing!)
Thank you!! People keep using the word cinematic on youtube a bit to much and I want to make sure to live up to that word :)
Amazing video mate, thanks!
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!
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 ;)
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 :)
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 :)
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 ;)
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'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!
The production quality on this channel is through the roof.
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
Im two paychecks away from getting this camera. I’m so excited 😩😩😩
You are almost there!! :D
i actually love how grainy your photos are.. they add a sense of rawness to the image. amazing video.
So glad youtube recommended you, best thing e v e r
I'm glad it did too!! Thanks!!
Absolutely blown away by both your photography and your cinematography! Loved it.
Thank you so much for watching!!
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?
Still a great camera in 2023. C.C. your cinematography is fantastic. And you loving Fujifilm is quite an endorsement. I finally switched to the X mount after Canon abandoned the M mount.
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.
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!
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
SIR THAT COLOUR GRADING I believe we need a tutorial or a walk through or a chit chat anything that resembles an ounce of that wisdom you cary when it comes to color grading. it is phenomenal!!!
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
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.
When it comes to photography - do you shoot in raw most of the time? Also, when you do video production with this bd boy, what is your rig setup? Do you use a SmallRig type of rig? Handheld, gimbal etc? I’d love to see more videos by you and I’ve been following for s long time :)
I have my XT3 setup to shoot raw plus jpeg to separate cards. Its a toss up if I end up using the jpeg and just editing it on my phone or wait until I get to a computer to edit the RAW. I don't usually use a rig for shooting since I don't like the extra weight. I did recently get a cage and some mounting stuff for the camera but this will be used for my in-studio stuff only. I also really dont like gimbals out of principal. People use them WAY too much and it really just makes their stuff worse in my opinion; the camera is always just floating around.
GxAce Great advice - I’m guessing due to not rigging, you tend to shoot internally rather than using a recorder like the Ninja V? Also, when you shoot handheld, do you tend to shoot 24P and 60P? Just trying to figure out how other professional shooters using this camera use it - in regards to settings it up for shooting and how they actually use it.
@@GxAce Also, another question - how the hell do I attach straps to this - specifically, the Peak Design anchors? :D
with XT3 on my hand for half a year, I can't say how much I love it
Its so good!
sick sick sick ! have you got to try any anamorphic lens setups on it yet ?
I have! Its awesome actually. I shot a Sponsor reel for a film festival with the Fuji and anamorphic and it turned out awesome. I might post it here but it may be too different from my other content.
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!
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!
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!
Bruh, you look like you are doing a review from the ship in the matrix. Thanks for the long term review.....i've been on the fence about switching from sony to fuji.....this might of just made me jump ship
Haha. Thanks!! I'm glad my super low budget set is fooling people ;) Awesome! enjoy the camera!
Hands down this was the best Fuji X-T3 presentation I have ever seen, Fuji should hire you .... the only problem I can see with this camera is a rather steep price and lenses are not exactly budget-friendly.
Hahaha. I wouldn't be opposed to that ;) I think for what it offers the price is pretty reasonable, especially if you pick up a used one. Definitely compared to the Sony full frame cameras.
Definitely reasonably priced accordingly, the Fuji pricing has certainly come down since the premium price of the X100 when that camera became very popular. Quality vs price on their lenses is also very competitive and more third party lenses are coming onto to the market nowadays
@@kkam7044 What I wished to say was X-T3+decent lens equals more money than Sony A7III+kit lens and that is battle that Fuji loses easily. You see top tier APS-C cameras are very (dangerously) close at price to full-frame if you add pricey lenses....what would you choose?
Hey Casey, whats a good flat color profile to shoot on fuji cameras for grading in post!
I have a fuji Xt100
I’ve watched so many videos about this camera and this one gave me the last push to purchase it, couldn’t be happier, awesome video!
