Hey Peter, glad you've found what works for you. I originally found your channel when I moved over to Olympus, but will definitely keep watching. Your channel is about Photography first and foremost, and that's the most important thing for me. I already follow many non Olympus shooting photographers, so what you shoot with is no big deal for me. Enjoy the new camera!
Why is it that many RUclips photographers repeatedly affirm that the "Camera makes no difference" but end up making a new camera video?
Because it is true. It is not the camera. Most want people to enjoy the act of photography nio matter what camera they have. We still need cameras to make photographs so it is a part of the whole thing. Info about how cameras are is important. It helps people to learn about new features etc.
In this game of life, victory goes to the one who accumulates the most toys!
Victory is to the stake/shareholders. @@mannyquinn5841
Because gear gets views! Also especially in the mft world this kind of perspective is valuable to me photographers
You say it honestly mr. Forsgård and I really appreciate that. It's like we've known each other for a very long time. There are few such RUclipsrs. Thanks for the post and I wish you good light with your new camera.
Thank you very much.
I think you have done the right thing. It's TRUE Olympus didn't make videocentric camera which is need of the hour. I also use separate camera ( Canon R) for my video works. Personally i can say that I will continue to watch your channel. Those who love photography irrespective of gear would do the same. I have used almost all brands in the past but realised brand loyalty doesn't always go hand in hand with your requirements. So cheers.
I always find it interesting to see why and how people change gear. I like your content, so I'll follow regardless of what gear you're using. I've definitely enjoyed your content that was less gear specific, but I really have enjoyed it all! Hope you're well, and happy new camera!! :)
You are the star, Peter! Logical, well done news releases here. Fujifilm systems are excellent, imo. I like your channel for the education, logical explanations, and your travels. Good stuff! Thank you for your perspectives and sharing your experiences. 🙏
Glad you like them!
Another great video as usual! Regardless of the brand you are using. I learned years ago that you use whatever is needed (and realistic cost-wise) to get the job done.
Thank you.
It is all about the story you are telling, does not matter what gear you use to tell it with.
I like the direction this is heading. I use multiple systems by myself and enjoy the process.
Congratulations on your new camera Pete and am very glad you stick to photography content not about the gear! Cheers
Congratulations. Nice choice! I always think we are best served being brand agnostic, as it helps us get the best thing for our needs, and in our budget. Cheers, and wishing you continued success!
Thank you.
Congratulations, Peter! Happy for you. Glad to hear that it does make a difference for you financially that we watch your channel.
Thanks, it really does.
Thank you, Peter. I look forward to learning how you get the most out of the fuji raw files - something I'm attempting myself at the moment with an x-h1. Appreciate the update, from down here in Australia 👍
thanks for continued interest in om systems as I haver enjoyed you comments on these and looking forward to more.
My ideas of photography and photography skills have evolved since buying my em5mkiii and joining your channel. Thank you for all of your work in doing reviews and tutorials and sharing your thoughts and experience as well as your live critiques. I’m glad to hear that you will keep doing m43 content. Congratulations on your new path with Fuji and video work. I will be interested in this as well. 👍
Great to hear!
You have been one of my reference channels for Olympus gear. I do however very much appreciate the rational decision to make a step towards Fuji. I am sure it will work for you.
Thank you.
As always Peter, nice work. I think you have made choices which will benefit your business. Good luck with your future endeavors
Many thanks!
I have been enjoying your videos for some time, and I hope you continue to make videos on the subject of M43. Best wishes with your new Fuji system!
Very interesting is the point "large audience for fuji". I never thought about that. Learned something again, thanks Peter.
My channel is part of my business. I need to think also what is best for the channel too when making changes.
Well done Peter for making the move. I wish you every success. I’m pleased your videos are more about photography than equipment. Best wishes from UK.
Many thanks!
Congratulations on your new camera [Fuji] acquisition, Peter 👍
Thank You for your explanation on the reasons behind it.
All the Very Best for your future work :-)
Take Care.
Many thanks!
What a good phrase: Photography is not about equipment, it is about photos...
I need to use that
Amen
And equipment is all about photography without it, no photos…
@@ruudkuiper5515 😯😯😯😯 That's more than obvious, I don't think it's even necessary to say it, as we say in Spain, "even a fool knows that"... but if people ask you more about your camera than about your photos, it's because maybe you photography is not so good...
Hopefully!
i think you will love your fujifilm. glad you are staying with m4/3 and kept some cameras. hope OM DS make a competitive hybrid body. lately i am growing interest in making videos that look better then what i have before. thanks Peter good luck.
Hi, Peter!
Although I mainly use m4/3 gear, I watch your videos because they portray photography as a whole in a calm (in true Finnish fashion ;)), considered and very well-founded manner. It doesn't matter to me which camera you use. It never has.
Thank you for the inspiration and always valuable time that your videos give.
I wonder what the "true Finnish fashion" means! :D
It's just gear, you have to use what serves your needs. I was a Pentax guy from my teenage years (I'm old now) and the only reason I switched to 4/3s (later m4/3s) was because Pentax was a bit slow moving to digital and I needed something right at that moment that was small and light and the E-M10 showed up. Funny but I still have an emotional pull to buy something from Pentax just to encourage them. This is crazy, I know, but there it is.
I hope all is well with you. Wishing you the best from Costa Rica.
Thank you.
Appreciate the video and hearing how you thought through your purchase. I hope the Fuji gear serves you well. It'll be interesting to hear how or if your workflow changes. Maybe the OM Systems gear will be your personal use gear (or your walkabout gear) while the Fuji will be you work gear. Having two systems may help keep space between work-life and personal-life.
Let's see how it goes. I am planning to use OM-5 for my travel and leisure. For my next travel nest week I will take the Fuji just to get used to it. I also got the 27mm F2.8 pancake and the combo is the same size as OM-5.
thanks, Peter
Can't wait to see the new content.
Hi Piotr, I am still with the OM system, but I stay with you because you are honest in what you say. This is a very important feature nowadays.
I appreciate that!
Have fun with your new equipment.
Gear has two functions for me. It needs to solve problems (taking photos in the conditions I'm in) and it makes me wanting to use it.
Sounds as if Fuji is fulfilling both for you, so you will have fun and produce great results with it.
You needed to find the tool that works best for you…well done! . I would likely have gone with the new G9ii. Great AF and great stab. albeit a bit too big/heavy IMO, but you could use your lenses, but then again it sounds like many you simply didn’t use. Noted PetaPixel folks are now using for their videos it appears. It does sound like this was also as much about saving money while moving to a tool that matched your needs that are now video focused. Makes sense to me and impressed that worked so well! I’ve been considering same camera, but lack of good IBIS (from what I have seen on other channel reviews) for run and gun stuff holding me back (dislike gimbals though most folks don’t), otherwise work almost perfect I suspect! The 6700 would also have been in the mix; perhaps a bit better AF, but not quite as strong video features (very close), otherwise very similar. Will be interesting going forward to see your mix of cameras. My guess…you will enjoy both!
Thanks for making this video Peter! The Fuji XS20 looks like a good camera. I like how the grip and shutter button are designed. A compact camera with sensible ergonomics.
It really is!
Great video and I shall be interested to see what you think of the stills photography from your new kit, compared to Olympus
I will of course use my X-S20 for photography too. I will share my experience.
I think we should be happy for your new purchase, now we could have your contents about two different systems!
Hope it helps you a lot with your profession too!
Peter, just one thing I did not understand or maybe you spoke about but I did not get it,
Why did not you choose a g9 mk ii or gh6 over the xs20?
Thanks Peter for pointing out that the camera gear often makes no difference. I'm just happy to see everyone running for the next hype so the used market for MFT is full. I recently bought the EM10 M2 and the 17mm 25mm and 45mm 1.8 primes as well as the Panasonic 12-60 Kit. As a photographer that is all I'll ever need and I payed 700€ in the used market.
The output is just fantastic and I bet no one can see the difference in a side by side comparison of the pictures taken between this setup and a newer one.
So the biggest difference is in the wallet.
For you as a videographer and youtuber Fuji is the one to go for.
Thanks for the wonderful content.
Jens
You got a good deal and most likely can do everything with that set. Congrats! Thank you.
I like your videos not because of your gear but how you explain things, I started following you because of micro 4/3 but thats not why I stayed. We have all researched switching, I use 3 different systems and all for different reasons. I love the new cameras even though I dont use Fuji but who knows someday I may.
I'll keep watching your videos to hear about your experiences with Fuji videography. I'm sticking with MFT for the lenses I have and will try to get the OM-1 and G9II at some point. Your channel is great no matter what format you talk about.
Thanks.
Glad I went with the OM-5, which you decided to keep. 😅 I'm interested in learning about your video experiences with the Fuji.
Thanks Peter. The best gear is what you use every day. Brand should not be the deciding factor.
Well Peter, your change of gear news was certainly surprising but you have obviously given the matter considerable thought and you need the correct gear for your work. I watch your channel because it's interesting rather than because you advocate a particular camera brand. As it happens my knowledge of Fujifilm is zero so it will be interesting to learn of your experiences with your new gear.
Thanks you.
Absolutely reasonable, I run M 4/3 and Fuji gear and they don't get in each other's way. Generally I use the M 4/3 for travel, landscape and anything requiring long telephoto. The Fuji gets used for street reportage and more creative work, experimenting with film sims and adapting vintage glass etc. Looking forward to seeing your work with the XS 20!
Thanks. I am also interested in the film simulaitions. I have to play around with them and see how they work.
Peter, interesting video. Just want to say this, I had an Olympus EM5 mark i about 10 years ago. Sold it for Canon Eos M. Sold it for Fuji XT4. Now, I'm back with Olympus with the OM5. I missed its portability, especially with zoom lenses. I'm more on stills btw.
I use Fuji and m4/3, just as a hobbyist though. Both systems have their strengths and using the tool that’s right for the situation is an advantage. As a pro you have to use what works best for you. Looking forward to following your Fuji adventure. Enjoy.
Thanks.
Interesting point on company representation. I have been trying to convince myself to do a 100% switch to OMD in Canada, and OMD Digital Solutions decided to not be represented in Canada so sales, customer service, etc are administered from the U.S. Back to Canon, so I totally get your point there. It's more than just the product. Great channel by the way.
Yes it is a lot more than just the product itself. Customer service is important.
Congratulations on the new gear, yes, for your usage it makes total sense. Good move also for keeping some of the Oly gear, I really like the f1.8 primes when paired with my EM1M3, the 20mm F1. 4 still on my list of lenses to try.
Thanks. Yes I like my Olympus and OM SYSTEM cameras. It was not easy to give up my OM-1s. Marveloius camera, but not the right for me right now.
Congrats on your new gear! I've gone back... Just bought a Nikon D700... Already have a LOT of lenses for it. I'm a portrait guy. You have to go where your heart and soul takes you. May you have great success with your Fuji gear!
Thank you.
Wow, what a big step. Will be interesting to see how you like the Fuji system coming from MFT. Actually, when the XS10 came out I thought to my selv "thats the one I would get"
X-S10 is a good camera, but the video features are not that great.
Awesome mate. Like you, I’ve added Nikon to my setup for various reasons. Though I also got Gh6 for my video works too. Good luck and hope to catch up again soon! May be we should do a live together.
Thanks. It is a pity that OM SYSTEM has not taken video that seriously. A Live Stream would be Cool. It has been awhile.
I think you made the best business decision for your situation. For the life of me, I can't think of a poor camera system on the planet. However, some systems are best for our own unique situations. Congratulations on being able to find a solid system that will serve you well for no additional out of pocket money! Great move.
Thanks.
I have a Fuji X-E2, a Nikon Z 6 II and a Sigma DP2 Merrill. I watch your videos because of what you say and show.
Thanks.
Fuji is a great option for those looking for a “One system” solution. In my case, I really think that the “combo” S5ii + G9ii makes a lot of sense. From MFT to FF and MUCH better video solution than Fuji. The G9ii IBIS is unbelievable Good!
I enjoy following your artistic journey! I’ll be especially interested to hear how a single card slot and lack of weather sealing ends up working for you professionally.
Thanks. Those two things are an issue. Time will tell if I need to get X-H2s...
Hi I am not scare lol, I just feel a little sad, because M4/3 information that you provided was always amazing and I cant afford a fuji, good for you with the fuji. I will keep watching your channel
Thanks!
Thank you.
When I switched out my Fujifilm gear with OMDS gear (OM-1 with several pro lens) earlier this year, it cost me zero dollars as well. Sounds like we were fortunate with our camera stores being so helpful. I do no video and definitely seen where OMDS fitted me better than Fujifilm. Enjoy your endeavor with Fujifilm. I used Fuji for seven years and it was quite enjoyable. My favorite camera is still the Fujifilm X-Pro2.
Now if only OMDS would come out with a Pen F II.
As I said in the video, if it was only about photography I would not have done this.
Big change Peter. I have Fuji XT 2 and OMD EM1 II and the XS20 is on my radar for photography. I prefer the output from Fuji but like the lens size and weight from Olympus.
Pretty much how I think. It was a hard decision to trade my OM-1s.
Panasonic has been an innovator in video for a long time, and the Lumix S5 range is the most affordable full-frame hybrid system. It's wonderful to use without compromising on absolutely beautiful imagery. With more brands joining L-mount (including Blackmagic), I don't think we need to overly worry about its longevity! Last time I counted, there were 100 lenses.
As for concerns about viewers... I have never owned a Fuji camera but I watched your video. Ha!
Nice one Peter. I was toggling between this one and the XT5, and decided on the XT5. Can't wait to shoot with it. Have a good day from Australia, mate :-)
For photography X-T5 would be nice. I hope you, and I am sure you will, enjoy it!
Good luck!!!
Thank you.
Some of the for me most interesting photography related channels don’t even mention, which camera system they use. And I don't really care. If I had to make the decision, it would only be about "which tool is the best fit for my purpose". If the purpose was to attract a specific audience with the camera system I use, I'd use one of the mainstream systems like the Fuji you have decided to use going forward. It never ceases to amaze me how gear centric photographers are.
I hope it proves to be good in practice for you ; but equally I hope the OM5 continues in your portfolio for still / non video images and work !
That's the plan!
This is really exciting news, Peter! I hope this new gear meets your video needs perfectly. As a stills photo enthusiast, I love MFT and my trusty old E-M10 mk ii. But if I were a professional and doing a lot of video work, I might well go with a different platform, too.
I'd love to see you do a video with even more details about the Fuji film simulations than in your XH2S video. Do you know of anyone who has tried to duplicate those looks with Olympus? Thanks for all your videos and your great conversational style.
I know that Rob Trek make a few recipies for Pen-F. Search Kodachrome from his channel.
@@ForsgardPeter Thanks. Will do.
I was so surprised about the xs20 🤯. Very curious to see more videos from you about it. I was almost positive it was going to be the new Lumix.
G9II was tempting, but the reasons I was discussing in the video made choose X-S20 instead. I will make some content about my X-S20, but I try to keep this channel more about photography than gear.
I’ve been watching for a while but have never commented. I’m really impressed with your sincerity first of all, so thank you for that. I too am on the fence of buying the x-s20. I’m not a content creator but I own the X-H2s and a number of native lenses for events and birding. I wanted a smaller version for travel. I already have the x-t30ii but my eyesight is getting worse and the viewfinder is frustrating. The X-H2s has a phenomenal viewfinder so I should really buy two! Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and congratulations! Also, consider the 70-300mm. I have been incredibly impressed with its versatility and IQ! Cheers from Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Thank you. I will look into the 70-300mm. Thanks for the tip.
Welcome to the world of Fujifilm 😊
Thank you.
hello Peter great video I have the Fujifilm X-T5 & X-T2 & X10 great cameras for all my street and travel photography, but my EM1 mkIII will always be my wildlife camera and Em10 mkII my macro camera. I am excited to see your journey with the fuji camera especially your use of simulations which has a huge following, and websites to dial in all the old film simulations from back in the day you wont regret it.
Thanks. I have already looked into the film simulations and found a couple that I like. I will play around with them a lot more and make my own.
will look forward to seeing what you come up with. @@ForsgardPeter
Decide on the lens system you want to be in then the body. If you think fuji will update their lenses to a mark II soon, then more power to you.
When I realized I want to move on from EOS M, I found your and Matti's MFT content. I was surprised, we have really good Finnish camera channels on YT and they talk about the system I was looking info on and not only that but more. Best thing ever. I got into MFT but still have my foot on the door for everything else. I watch your content because you are not just about gear but photography as a skill and opinions. Also I don't mind learning Fuji lenses or whatever. Of course MFT content was important. I look forward to see more content. Btw nothing wrong with EOS M, I just move quickly. Its on me.
Great video
Thanks!
I'm done with mft, although I still shoot with mft because I don't have another one. The main reason is the dynamic range. Full frame follows logically from this. But there is a completely different thing here. A photographer must love his camera. Fujifilm is literally saying hey hey here I am, your future camera! Unbelievable how much I like the Fuji, both in size and overall appearance. Good luck with Fuji and I look forward to more videos.
Yes Fuji is an interesting brand.
Hi Peter, congratulations on your new gear. I hope it does the jobs you need it to do. I wonder if you could do a short video on the comparison between OM-1 and X-S20 (I think you said) and what differentiated the X-S20 for you for video. I seem to recall that you said that you were looking for a camera that could do standard 16:9 video and vertical format at the same time, did you get that with the X-S20?
I did. It can record 6.2K Open Gate. That makes it possible to edit vertical and horizontal video from the same material. I have a plan to make a video about what I gained and what I lost when trading my OM-1 to X-S20.
XH2-S down-samples 12-14 bit colour to 10 bit for video. Fuji good system, would go for the XH2-S
Good luck with your new setup. It's a shame OM Systems won't make a camera you could use. I've never shot a Fuji camera, but I've heard they're great. I guess you do get a little better low light performance out of the Fuji, I'm curious how much. I've found ergonomics more important to my old body than even weight. I'd like to hear your experience with the new system in those respects as well.
On this regard, I'd say 4k up to 120fps is very, very, very good, more than anyone needs... The cinema industry uses 4k at 24fps in 4/3 format for their uhd movies... Yes, the uhd ones you watch when you go to the movies to have a uhd experience...
5-6-8k are an overkill and a headache for anyone that edits video and needs storage space... Even 4k is an overkill for most final versions of videos. 1080p is used more frequently than you imagine in professional videography...
A move from the 20Mp 4/3 to a lower resolution but larger sensor with higher framerates would have been a much smarter move for videography...
But it's ok, anyone can choose whatever is more advantageous for them... No one has anything to do with it.
The 6.2K Open gate is not something I will use all the time. It is handy when client needs both horizontal and vertical videos from the same footage.
@@ForsgardPeter with 6.2k you get that cropping freedom for sure! I'm also wondering what would be the results using the cropping factor for telephoto, or macro videos, or simply to add that extra stability... The optics must be stellar though...
Very interesting and just looked at the price of an X-S0 on WEX in the UK and a very reasonable price. Look forward to seeing how you use the new kit especially in low light scenarios. I use Olympus, JVC and Canon kit for filming with each format used for different proposes. At some point will need to move to 10bit or 12bit 422 ProRes/ RAW though.
Yes it is quite resonable priced. That was one reason I went that route.
Díky!
Thank you.
Quick comment om Rajala Pro Shop: They have a store in Stockholm as well as the shops in Finland. They are very god choice if looking for used gear. Always plenty of used cameras and lenses in stock. I have bought among others my Nikon D850 and my Olympus e-m1 mk 2 from Rajala both used and to in my opinion to fair prices. Thanks for your interesting videos.
Yes, that is true. There is a Rajala Pro Shop in Stockholm. One of the reason I made the trade in Rajala here in Helsionki was the fact that they have a good variety of used gear. They also buy it.
thank you for sharing your thoughts. I particularly found your Why This Brand section interesting. I've recently upgraded from E-M1i to G9 and that demonstrated how product-focused Panasonic is (Canon is distribution king, Sony is feature-focused). That, I hope, will mean they can attract people to the L-mount. The S5 ii body style is shared between G9 ii and S5 ii/x and I hope they continue to do this so that 2 mounts will share the same UI, batteries and ergonomics. Fujifilm CEO says that FujiFilm isn't significant on Fuji Industries' balance sheet but that they love photography and will not leave the arena. Canon/Sony are the safest mounts at present. Fuji/Nikon are the ones working hard to stay in the market. Panasonic are focused on video and are dipping into photography. interesting times :)
I think your focus on photography over gear makes your content interesting. Having experience of multiple brands can only help you in that. Choosing Fujifilm, is I think, a smart idea because of how popular the brand has become this year.
Good luck in 2024!
Thanks for your comment. I agree that L-mount has potential, but unfortunately I do not think it will. I really hope I am wrong, because the more otptions photograhers have the better.
I don't care about the brand. I use three different... Depending on what I want to do.
A camera is a tool. It has to support your work, your style of work.
I have M43 cameras (E-M1 ii, E-M10 iii & GX80) and Fujifilm (X-T30 & X-E3) and my Nikon D7100 DSLR too. I understand brand loyalty but I prefer variety 😁
Same - I shoot Canon, Nikon, Sony, Minolta and Apple. If I were a professional, I would probably standardize on one system for work. However, I wouldn't get rid of my 'fun' cameras for leisure and personal projects.
Hope you have success with the Fuji setup. I’ve preordered the LUMIX G9ii for video. I also think my OM1 isn’t as capable as it should be for video production. OM System should improve video for the next camera release - if it ever happens.
I totally agree with you. OM SYSTEM should add video features and make them bettre video cams. G9II is most likely quite good in video. The specs are impressive. The new AF system will also make it a lot better.
Interesting Peter. I have been an OM guy for some years now. But have always had an eye on fuji, but their stuff is pricey.
All the camera s are a bit pricey theses days. Fuji is quite ok.
Congratulations on the new cameras! I think trading in the OM1s for the X-S20s are a very sensible decision, and from what I hear of the Fuji for video, I think you made the right decision. Brand loyalty goes both ways, and if the brand is no longer able to meet your needs (especially as a professional), then looking elsewhere is a wise choice. While i originally found your channel through Olympus and Micro 4/3 content, I am staying for the community and photography videos. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, with the new gear!
Thanks.
Interesting. Thanks. toronto canada
Hello Peter
What gimbal(s) do you use for your videography?
Thanks
I do not use gimbal. I have the camera on tripod.
I’m considering getting X-S20 for video work, so glad to find that there is someone else who thought the same way. The only concern for me is the lack of weather sealing, and my solution is to get a used Olympus MFT camera for a rainy day. 😅 I’m thinking of EM5 iii, but do you think OM5 is better than this?
Weather sealing is also my concern. As I said in the video most of my video work is done indoors anyways. For a video camera for me the weather sealing is not that crucial. I think either one is ok for your outdoor bad weather videography. If your budget allows, get OM-5.
I'm all good with your decision. The most important point that you made is that you have found what you need to make a living. Follow your head, not your heart!
Well said, that I tried to do.
I work with panasonic g9 & gh6. A perfect Duo!
Hi Peter, I have the EM1.3 and only one lens, the 12-100 F4 Pro. I want to add primes to my kit that will mostly be used outdoors for stills. I sensed a signal from you when you sold all your Pro lenses. Are the M Zuiko lenses you kept good enough for overall sharpness and image quality?
Yes, they are. What type of photographs do you do. Check out your most used focal length with your 12-100mm F4 Pro. Make a decision based on that.
Good deal. I still have 4 OM Cameras as well as my used Fuji X-T2, but, I am not a Pro. If I could trade in 2 bodies for a Pro Fuji Lens that would be great, but, I need to find time to schedule a one on one with KEH to see what they will give me for trade.
For RUclips algorithm and search purposes, I hope you consider putting X-S20 in the description of this and future videos, so that it is recommended to those like me, who are searching for videos about the X-S20 ( made by actual users/owners and not just those who got it for a few days for review purposes).
I will do that in a week. I might even change the title. I wanted the title to be a bit more click bate when the video was published.
Thanks Peter for your interesting video. Would I've been you, I would probably have chosen the Panasonic GH6 instead, that way you could stil use your Zuiko lenses. Although I understand the reasons "Larger audience for Fuji/Fuji has represenatative in Finland" your whole change of camera/lens system gives me the feeling that you really doubt the future of the MFT system, unfortunately. Anyway, keep up the good work
GH6 was one alternative, but the quote you picked says it all.
Hi Peter, nice video. Peter, I certainly do not doubt the quality of OM system and Panasonic, but I do have my doubts about the future of the Mft system. I have much fewer doubts with Fuji. Both systems are great. I still have an EM1 Mark II and the lenses 12-40mm and the Sigma 16 and 56mm. If I were to invest in Fuji, I would always consider getting rid of the very last Mft material. There is a large photo fair in Brussels next weekend and OM system and Panasonic are not present. Congratulations on your purchase of your Fuji xs20.
Thanks.
I don't use om or Fuji and I will keep watching your channel. 😀
Awesome! Thank you!
I think the fuji xs10 looks to be an excellent camera. I considered it for my first interchangeable lens camera, but then I discovered that some older software has trouble with fuji colours and the software I use is ancient. This turned me away from fuji altogether so then it was between sony and mft and because I'm mainly into wildlife, I decided mft was the best choice.
MFT is a good choice for wildlife. Fuji has its own colorscience and the X trans sensor works slightly different.
Hey Peter, completely understand! I was in a similar situation early this year. I ended up selling my OM-1 also. If my job didn't use all Sony cameras I would have probably gone Panasonic or Fuji. Fuji is a great system and the lenses are much more affordable compared to L-mount lenses. I know a lot of people hate on Sony, but they actually have a lot of quality 3rd party lenses and a lot of them aren't much bigger than the Fuji's. Can't wait to hear more about your Fuji experience as the XS20 is most likely one that I'd grab of the group of newer cameras. It's a heck of a price for that!
Yes, one reason to get a Fuji were the lenses. The prices are quite nice compared to other brands.
@@ForsgardPeter don’t blame you for not going Sony, but this isn’t true. Those four 1.2-1.4F lenses you got are all around $1000. This is not significantly cheaper than sony FF glass. And for APSC it can be cheaper as in the Sony 15mm 1.4 vs the Fuji 16mm. Not judging you, just parking the info here in case others are considering Sony vs Fuji.
Thanks for the info.
Nice change
You have to make the choices, that work best for you.
I have never considered Fuji myself, but I never do video work.
I might have considered Sony and gone full frame, but you know better, if that would be over kill so to speak.
To be honest I did not really consider Sony.
Can someone please explain what are "proxy" files in videography? What purpose are they created for and how do vidographers use them?
Proxy-files are low resolution files for editing. H.265 is a codec that is quite hard for tyhe computer. Making proxy-files for editing makes the process smoother. When making the final export of the video, the system uses the original files to make the final video.
@@ForsgardPeter Thank you.
For vidéo, the G9-2 would have been much better than Fuji.... Even if you prefer to have APSC, then the R7 would have been better than Fuji, especially for Autofocus, that is quite important in video.
I also agree. Why not choose G9 2, and you can share lens with Olympus camera body too.
Panasonic G9II was one option, but I explained why Panasonic was not my choice.
@@ForsgardPeter For your information, I follow your channel, and I have no OMD system, and no Fuji System: This will not change. Also, supposed viewers for the brand should not be a reason to choose a material, but more your need !
