I am going to buy a second Fuji XT1 Because of the price is very low.. But some people are starting to go up on the price of this camera because it is so good...!! Also the xt2
I love seeing people making extraordinary photography with older gear! I bought an infrared converted Fuji xt1 and have been experimenting with that. Cheers from Utah!
I used a pair of X-T1 cameras for weddings and portraits. When the X-T3 came out, I upgraded because of the better autofocus. However, at high ISO, the X-T1 is still, in my opinion cleaner, thanks to the larger pixels. It also produces, in my opinion, nicer SOOC jpegs.
Was exactly my opinion as well. I upgraded to x-t2 and then 3, in the end was unhappy with it and later on actually a few weeks ago just decided to get a X-T1 because i remember how much i liked using it, and i wanted to adapt vintage glass and thought it would be the best option for me :)
It's great to see quality content from the Fuji XT1, I'm close to buying one with a 25mm lens, congratulations for the work, your video has already arrived in Brazil.
Thanks so much mate, I really appreciate that. Its what I have built my business on. Create + Inspire - Really believe in changing just one persons moment at a time. And if that inspires you to get out and shoot, that means the world to me! Get out and do what makes us happy!
My Fuji X-T1 is a gem. I know that in APS-C there is no other manufacturer that makes better lenses. I use mine for landscapes and animals in the wild. I really like the way Fuji addresses the main controls by putting them on the camera body and not buried in some menu. I agree that less pixels mean less noise.
Great video mate, and always great hearing a fellow Aussie! I love my XT1. I use it almost daily, its my 'walk around' camera..I've got thr xt3 as my grown up proper camera but the xt1 is my first love. Great video mate!
I own the XT1, XT2, XH1, plus the GFX50R and 18 lenses total. What's my daily carry you ask? My XT1 and the original 27mm f2.8!!! I LOVE that combo. so small and compact it literally fits in my pant pockets!
Not crazy in the LEAST bit! The X-T1 is still to this day my favorite camera body of all time. I've owned many many camera bodies (and still own bodies that are far more advanced than the X-T1), but it's still my favorite camera. Amazing output and feels beautiful in hand. Long live the X-T1, I can't imagine ever being without at least one of them in my collection.
@@yogi6muhammad it performs well in my opinion but I don't mind a little bit of noise at higher ISO (3200+) especially as I shoot it mostly in B&W. The noise it produces at those sensitivities is not offensive to me at all (color or B&W). It does not natively produce as clean of a photo as an X-T3 or X-T4 but it's more than clean enough for me. 👍 (I do also own an X-T3 and owned an X-T4)
I find the X-T1 the most perfect of the Fuji mirrorless designs ergonomically for me. With or without its battery grip or its tripod plate its lovely to hold. All the buttons (with the exception of the preview one) are in the right place. All the dials match my film cameras perfectly. The focus assist falls under my thumb just so. The only criticism I have apart from the preview button position is the easy to move drive mode, but its not a big deal. As others have mentioned, the SOOC images I find preferable to the later models (well the colour ones at least). I paid £250 for mine 2 years ago complete with battery grip as an experiment, already having owned a XPro1 and X-E2s. I loved it so much I got another this year. I have other Fuji models the X-H1 and X-E3, but much as I like them, I still tend to grab one of the X-T1s before any of the others.
Good to see you still shooting with an xt-1, I picked one up late last year as a cheap way to give fujifilm a try out. The image quality is lovely, it renders colours differently to my canon cameras I've used for the last 15 years and gives beautiful files straight out the camera. Looking forward to getting some native glass for it and switching over to using it for my landscape photos. Thanks for the great video and beautiful photo.
Fujifilm X-T1 has 50% larger pixel area (23.04µm2 vs 15.34µm2) compared to Fujifilm X-T2, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images. Correct?
good show chap, i have that camera, it will still be relevant in 2025, and 26. the manual focus for old lenses is second to none. I have a Leica Summilux attached to my xt1. 16 mp is very adequate. I like your night shots.
You keep inspiring me, your night images are super. Great to see you in the outback and showcase its utter beauty. Wilpena Pound is stunning and the nearby lookout for sunset over the folds is glorious. Can't wait to see what you photograph there! (just out of lockdown in Oodnadatta, so close...ish! haha) Waiting for my XT4 - now will have to get an XT1 also!
Thats super cool. Are you travelling up that way? Yeah wilpena pound is stunning. Now I just need the money to get myself up that way haha. All in good time
@@matthewstorerphotography Ahh yes, Power, water and money, the essentials to travel. haha I'm in Oodnadatta now travelling around. The Breakaways outside of Coober Pedy is like another world.
Bonjour Matthew Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne et je suis vraiment impressionné par les techniques que tu utilises . Fantastiques résultats avec des images que tous les amoureux de la photo et des paysages aimeraient faire.Bravo à toi fantastic job ,very very nice photos.
I have the same two Fujifilm bodies in my bag now. They are my favorite two bodies they've made so far. (owned all four of them plus the X-H1 which is probably my 3rd favorite X-T/H body)
Loved my X-T1 Mathew... A brilliant intro to Fuji cameras... So easy and intuitive to use and as much as most people would need... Also cheap as chips these days. I was surprised that you didn't mention the X-T2... It has the 24MP sensor as the 3 and 4 but is much cheaper... Maybe slightly lesser spec for video but pretty much identical otherwise. Keep up the good work!
Yeah didnt mention it mainly because the X-T3 has the similar sensor size, I mean if I was talking about photography in general I would have mentioned it for sure, I may do another video on this a little later. But for night photography I solely recommend the X-T1 just for pixel to sensor ratio :D
Hi Matthew just subed you I used to do night sky photography with a Celestron telescope years ago here in the UK mainly of the moon I just got myself an XT1 a little beaten up but all works great prise on it I must try it out one night on the sky great video thanks buddy
@@matthewstorerphotography Nice one. Consider it done! Loving the XT1 . I've shot a ton of pics with it. Most of my latest content on IG. Have tagged you in a couple . Thanks again
I have and love my X-T1, and I've just recently started to get into night/sky photography. I was happy to see that you're using one and getting such phenomenal shots with it!! I wanted to ask how you deal with potential star movement or trails at 90 seconds. Thanks for the great resource, you earned another sub. Cheers! (PS. HOW are there not a million bugs flying around that bright spotlight during your chats?? It's Straya! Even in Texas, during winter, there would be clouds of random bugs swirling around the lights in the desert)
Yeah I could image mate, so many people just upgrade for the shiny object syndrom (unless you need it - in my case the X-T4 for video + travel) but you still get amazing image quaility out of the A7ii
When it first came out it had some quirks but Fujifilm completely transformed this camera with all the firmware updates. The electronic shutter was added through a firmware update for instance. Crazy😃
I have had many Fuji's and right now I have an XT-3, two XT1's and an XE2s. I tend to always grab my XT1's for everything ! Might as well sell the XT-3, or trade it for two more XT1's !
I love those nights when civilization is well below the horizon! I’m a Nikon shooter and the same logic lies behind keeping my D750 after buying the Z7ii.
I have an x pro 1 and its my favorite camera I have even over my x t2 when it comes to photo quality. The lower pixel count helps a noticeable bit when im shooting in lesser lit areas of NYC, so I see nothing wrong with having an x t1
Hiya Mathew just like to say Good to see you back on u tube.i have the xt3 which I was going to have a go at astro with,but I also have a xe1 .just wondering if this would be as good as the xt1 . Keep up the good work
Thanks so much for the nice words! Yeah it would be amazing for the Astro world! Just grab a good lens and go out shooting you will be able to capture the milky way in a dark location!
I've still got mine. The only issue I have is that I can't use the tilt mechanism of the LCD because I think the electrical ribbon is slightly damaged. Other than that it's a gorgeous camera.
YES!! hahah 100% agree, that is super annoying haha Something I would love to have on the X-T1 especually when you shoot super low to the ground. Hence why my knees had all dirt over them lol
A good photo is taken by the photographer... and not the camera... the X-T1 is more than enough. A good meal is made by the cook and not the pan! But how we allow ourselves to be manipulated by the industry! I will never sell my three X-T1's! Greetings from a Swiss living in the Caribbean❤
Dinner sized Plate Spiders? Sounds terrifying but delicious. I'd have probably creamed my kecks tho rather than eat one. Seriously tho. Great video, am trying to get into astrophotography and was recommended a Fuji X-T1 by an ex pro photographer dude I met in an Apple store today. After watching this I'm sold. And subscribed. Bonza Mate. Hi from the UK.
hahha yeah 1 minute on a BBQ each side they are alright.... haha Yeah the X-T1 is a steal in 2021 for landscape and astro work. I use it a lot and have for the past 8 years! crazy for the price
I found that I am getting a little bit of star trail at 25” and the stars are not that round. I have to reduced it to under 20”. Stunning compositions.
Hei Matthew I wonder if a taking many black pictures with a cap on to clean the sensor, is it the same whether it is on ES or MS shutter on? Or i just no very stupid
Hey, nah I hardly ever do take black images, the software I use does ask me for them but I never provide it. Why? I dont know, never feel like i have needed it
I have a Fuji XT1 also It takes amazing amazing images. Almost like magical 🧙♀️ If you get the settings right.. along with the film simulations... We will be able to achieve some amazing results.. That will stand up against. Or Out perform Some full Frame camera... Lol 😂
Hi all,when you use a canon rs-60e3 remote switch on fujifilm Xt1 cameras,and switch it to Bulb,you must take of the lens of,when is on and put on again to get it to work,just once, and then you have the all time in the world,just if the batery is good :)
The BSI tech in x-t3 actually makes for less noise in long exposure photography. If you just shoot a black frame and then you pull up shadows and blacks all up you will see the noise patterns. The x-t3 has quite a bit better performance. My x-t2 has the same noise after applying in-camera noise reduction as x-t3 has before applying noise reduction. You should try that and see for yourself.
That's good to know. I mainly shoot with canon and panasonic for my wedding work, but I have an XT1 coming this week, and I'm getting quite excited reading some of the comments.. Don't think I've ever seen so much love for a camera .
I am a proud owner of an X-T1, bought new in 2014. The camera still works wonders, but the grip started to peel off. Anybody had the same issue and managed to get it replaced?
Lower megapixels for night photography is a myth unless you only pixel peep (like i'm guilty to do). When you will downsize your picture the noise produced by a high mega pixel camera will be diminished too. If you want to get less noise the only way is to get a larger sensor. I'd love to see what a gfx can do
Mhmm have to disagree a little here. Might be go worth reseaching why the A7S range was such a popular camera with only 12MP... More light hitting each pixel in comparison to full frame sensor size.
@@matthewstorerphotography A myth. If i'd resize my 42mp A7RII raw to 12mp the resulting picture would be better than a 12mp picture from a 12MP camera. That would probably be less true with a 61mp file from A7RIv (or 26mp on aps-c) but clearly less mega-pixel is not always better for night photo.
@@jcben I can't comment because I have no experience with the RIV, but the notion of larger photosites (pixels) creating less noise, as in the XT1 vs XT3, has held up in my experience.
@@matthewstorerphotography Definitely read up about some of it's key features, if Astro is your thing then it's a very compact wicked system due to the fact it has a unique inbuilt Astrotracer feature. I'll list off some of the unique properties of the camera; - Pentax is known for rugged and hard weather sealed/resistant cameras. I'm not joking when I say they can be the preferred choice for desert and arctic shooters, because despite those harsh conditions the Pentax brand still continues to shoot regardless. Now I'm not saying Pentax is a fantastic brand/camera, they definitely have some problems such as AF etc, but in the genre of Astro the systems weakness (AF) doesn't really matter. - K-1 has a unique tilting screen which is very hand for landscape and astro work. - The K-1 has a dedicated button that when pushed illuminates little LED lights to help you see the buttons and operate them in the dark. LED's light up at places like the lens mount area, buttons, flip screen etc, it all helps enormously when configuring the camera in the dark. - The K-1 has a 'night mode' which makes the screen red, thus assisting with working in the dark and not messing up your own vision. - Pentax may have been the first to develop and implement IBIS into their cameras, from that piece of tech their innovation didn't stop there. Two unique features came from IBIS, Astrotracing and Pixelshift. As other brands developed IBIS pixelshift came along as well, but really they have Pentax to thank for that party trick ;) But I don't think another brand has used IBIS yet to develop Astrotracer. How Astrotracer works; You turn the gps on, calibrate/sync the camera with it, jump into Bulb mode and away you go. The camera is tripodded and now the sensor moves inside the camera via the IBIS system with the GPS to track the stars and keep them as pinpoints instead of getting blurred/trails. This then lets you take MUCH longer exposures. If you do what everyone else does and stack a heap of images, even better, but honestly some users just feel content with the 1 take. I can go for 2-4mins vs other brands that need to cut the exposure short at 40secs etc. The differences are (as you can imagine) pretty significant! Of course tho... the landscape will be blurred during that exposure (as the sensor moves), so if shooting stars+land you will always need to do two takes and one with astrotracing on, the other without, blend in PS etc. Really, Pentax's biggest problem is marketing, they seem to lack it here in the West at least (I believe Pentax as a brand does much better in Japan, their primary market of concern). I've been in a few Astro groups, hardly anyone knows anything about Pentax or K-1, really a shame as it's really this particular genre it shines at. I'm no brand loyalist, I have a XT-4 as well, but it stays at home if I want to do serious landscape (pixelshift) or astro work (astrotracer). I'll keep using my K-1 till it dies, it's been my first love.
This has been on my mind (again) soooooooooooooo much lately. One of my best friends is having the same thought. Astrotracer is pretty amazing, and I really love the Pentax bodies over the years, extremely comfortable tanks.
... Settle down dood! Do you have to be soo over dramatic like an "American" clone!!!... Appreciate your photographic knowledge but your presentation is like "nails on a blackboard".... Settle down... And stop being over dramatic... Less is more as they say..... And you might get a few more clicks.....
Have you ever thought about buying a cheap second hand Fuji X-T1 to capture images just like this? 😀
I've thought about getting a 2nd one!
Exactly..a joy to use ,own And hold

Yes obviously.
Please provide some US links if you can on buying 2nd hands Xt1's.
It’s also a great body to use with old manual lenses, really easy to focus.
I still have my X-T1 and will never get rid of it! Always in my bag, regardless of what I plan to shoot or where I go.
Totally unstand why :D
I am a bad photographer and I take good pictures with my Fuji XT-1. That is how good a camera it is. I will never get rid. It’s fantastic.

My Fuji X-T1 is a gem. I know that in APS-C there is no other manufacturer that makes better lenses. I use mine for landscapes and animals in the wild.

The x-t3 has quite a bit better performance. My x-t2 has the same noise after applying in-camera noise reduction as x-t3 has before applying noise reduction. You should try that and see for yourself.
Yeah really interesting I will get everyones ideas together and head out in the field and try all this :D
I shoot wedding with it, now on 2021.
Yeah nice, thats awesome! :D
That's good to know. I mainly shoot with canon and panasonic for my wedding work, but I have an XT1 coming this week, and I'm getting quite excited reading some of the comments.. Don't think I've ever seen so much love for a camera .
I am a proud owner of an X-T1, bought new in 2014. The camera still works wonders, but the grip started to peel off. Anybody had the same issue and managed to get it replaced?
I just used gorilla glue. It's been two years now and still holding on.
Yeah I am having the same issue, every summer it gets worse and worse!
Rubber cement it back on ! It's easy !
Awesome video. Any dangerous animals out there?
Not so much animals, more so just insects but I wouldnt really wanna find out haha
Lower megapixels for night photography is a myth unless you only
pixel peep (like i'm guilty to do).
When you will downsize your picture the noise produced by a high mega pixel camera will be diminished too.
If you want to get less noise the only way is to get a larger sensor. I'd love to see what a gfx can do
Mhmm have to disagree a little here. Might be go worth reseaching why the A7S range was such a popular camera with only 12MP... More light hitting each pixel in comparison to full frame sensor size.
@@matthewstorerphotography A myth. If i'd resize my 42mp A7RII raw to 12mp the resulting picture would be better than a 12mp picture from a 12MP camera.
That would probably be less true with a 61mp file from A7RIv (or 26mp on aps-c) but clearly less mega-pixel is not always better for night photo.
@@jcben I have an A7Siii and an A7Rii and the S3 is hands-down a better low-light photography camera. The only exception is when you need to crop.
@@BilletMedia sure but the RII is also 2 generations older. The RIV is much better because in the end the noise will be much smaller
@@jcben I can't comment because I have no experience with the RIV, but the notion of larger photosites (pixels) creating less noise, as in the XT1 vs XT3, has held up in my experience.
Get a Canon rs-60e3 remote switch to go past Bulb mode over 30 sec :)
Yes that is also true!
Pick up a second hand Pentax K-1, with built in Astrotracer you'll be over the moon :)
Yeah that good?
@@matthewstorerphotography Definitely read up about some of it's key features, if Astro is your thing then it's a very compact wicked system due to the fact it has a unique inbuilt Astrotracer feature. I'll list off some of the unique properties of the camera;
- Pentax is known for rugged and hard weather sealed/resistant cameras. I'm not joking when I say they can be the preferred choice for desert and arctic shooters, because despite those harsh conditions the Pentax brand still continues to shoot regardless. Now I'm not saying Pentax is a fantastic brand/camera, they definitely have some problems such as AF etc, but in the genre of Astro the systems weakness (AF) doesn't really matter.
- K-1 has a unique tilting screen which is very hand for landscape and astro work.
- The K-1 has a dedicated button that when pushed illuminates little LED lights to help you see the buttons and operate them in the dark. LED's light up at places like the lens mount area, buttons, flip screen etc, it all helps enormously when configuring the camera in the dark.
- The K-1 has a 'night mode' which makes the screen red, thus assisting with working in the dark and not messing up your own vision.
- Pentax may have been the first to develop and implement IBIS into their cameras, from that piece of tech their innovation didn't stop there. Two unique features came from IBIS, Astrotracing and Pixelshift. As other brands developed IBIS pixelshift came along as well, but really they have Pentax to thank for that party trick ;) But I don't think another brand has used IBIS yet to develop Astrotracer.
How Astrotracer works; You turn the gps on, calibrate/sync the camera with it, jump into Bulb mode and away you go. The camera is tripodded and now the sensor moves inside the camera via the IBIS system with the GPS to track the stars and keep them as pinpoints instead of getting blurred/trails. This then lets you take MUCH longer exposures. If you do what everyone else does and stack a heap of images, even better, but honestly some users just feel content with the 1 take. I can go for 2-4mins vs other brands that need to cut the exposure short at 40secs etc. The differences are (as you can imagine) pretty significant!
Of course tho... the landscape will be blurred during that exposure (as the sensor moves), so if shooting stars+land you will always need to do two takes and one with astrotracing on, the other without, blend in PS etc.
Really, Pentax's biggest problem is marketing, they seem to lack it here in the West at least (I believe Pentax as a brand does much better in Japan, their primary market of concern). I've been in a few Astro groups, hardly anyone knows anything about Pentax or K-1, really a shame as it's really this particular genre it shines at.
I'm no brand loyalist, I have a XT-4 as well, but it stays at home if I want to do serious landscape (pixelshift) or astro work (astrotracer). I'll keep using my K-1 till it dies, it's been my first love.
This has been on my mind (again) soooooooooooooo much lately. One of my best friends is having the same thought. Astrotracer is pretty amazing, and I really love the Pentax bodies over the years, extremely comfortable tanks.
@@Kamukix 'comfortable tanks', could not have summed Pentax up better xD
@@SummersSnaps haha they really are 👌
Is xt1 a cheap camera ?
Not cheap, but cheap and full of amazing quality
So, no more beautiful Europe?
No unfortunately covid put and end to that
I'm not qualified to judge your sanity. Maybe I should ask your mother. 😉
Hhahaha she would say the same lol
$5 for a coffe? Really? Where? Is it lined with gold? Course if I pay $2 for a coup of coffee in my city I already spent too much...
Welcome to Australia! Plus in the Balkans Coffee is the new gold!
That camera wasn't relevant when it was released
It was and still is a great little camera.
Maybe no relevant to you, but many others out there it was :D
100% agree mate!
You sound clueless ! We love our XT1's and you don't have to be negative just because you can !
... Settle down dood! Do you have to be soo over dramatic like an "American" clone!!!... Appreciate your photographic knowledge but your presentation is like "nails on a blackboard".... Settle down... And stop being over dramatic... Less is more as they say..... And you might get a few more clicks.....
Harsh but fair enough, will take note. Thanks
Which app is that you're using to help determine shutter speed? Love the vidoes, thanks!
