    I thought this was a great review of all the options, new and used, available for those interested in the Fujifilm line. I found the comparison of the used cameras a great history lesson in the advancements that have been made over time. I've owned several of those older cameras, and I have to admit their review brings back great memories and fun shooting! This is especially true in our "social limiting" times. Thank you!

    The xt20 was my gateway camera. Now I have that the xh1, and a gently used x100t. I honestly shoot street and portraits... But I’ve found that each cameras serves me best in different ways. Great video!!

      Honestly you can use a camera for at least 3-5 years professionally. I’ve been using my Nikon D850 since it’s release and I’m a full time photographer . I’ve shot about 70 thousand photos so far with it and it still functions like a beast

    • @samuelenick
      @samuelenick 2 года назад +9

      If you think about reselling it, might actually be not that horrible to change the body every couple of years.. I don't know I feel like once you go from film to digital It does not make any sense not to keep up with the technology. I'm not saying you can't have great results with a 2014 camera but.. animal eye detection ffs

    • @XtianApi
      @XtianApi Год назад +10

      You can!
      I don't agree with saying they only last a few years. Traveling shooting as a pro, yeah maybe.
      But... This investing in lifelong lenses. Don't get too attached to the bodies.

      Nah that is in inaccurate statement, even for professionals. Many people are still using and loving their X-T1. I have an X-T2 and I don't see enough reason to upgrade. Aside from the shift to mirrorless, camera improvements have been tapering off over the last 5-10 years.

  • @WittyDroog
    @WittyDroog Год назад +4

    I started my journey with Fujifilm with an X-T200, almost by accident as it was a Black Friday special that really caught my eye and I had read positive things about it. One of the biggest things I can say for it as a recommendation is that the X-T200 has been an outstanding bridge device for someone that was mostly shooting photos with their PHONE rather than another camera. A lot of the meat of the device is actually in its screen and the software behind it as it was designed with a lot of touch controls in mind and I found it to be a very intuitive camera to use that allowed me to gradually get more confident with the more manual controls and customizing the various buttons and wheels to better match the more technical Fuji cameras. I've been really satisfied with it as a learner camera and what's REALLY cool is all the lenses I've collected for it now transfer to the higher end cameras I've moved onto since which is a feature that never occured to me when I first bought it.
    Despite it being less used I still keep it around as a travel camera, and while I've cannibalized all the other lenses I have a TTartisans 27mm lens that stays attached to it for 90% of situations but knowing I COULD strap the same 16mm lens I love using helps me justify keeping it around.

    Man, X10 should be on the list of under $500.
    X10 is probably one of the best compact premium Fuji has ever created, even until today, it's my favorite compact camera, it may be over 10 years old, but it's a gem.

  • @donaldklopper
    @donaldklopper 4 года назад +4

    Phew this was a lot to process; I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I started my Fuji journey more than 10 years ago with two "bridge" cameras (S5500 and later the fantastic X-S1 which I still use regularly with my Nikon DSLR) with small sensors, but I only have good things to say about the Fuji build quality and reliability on both of those. I feel that you generally get more than what you pay for. I was a bit taken aback on your comment on poor quality on older Fuji models. Maybe you're just a bit rough for your equipment as a pro. I appreciate the fact that you only recommended APS-C sensor cameras here due to the issues with image quality on anything with smaller sensors especially in low light, and I'm pleased that you included the fixed-lens options in your list. Fixed lens cameras simplify life in a huge way. I'll never forget the first time I saw my friends showing some holiday photos and I got suspicious about the quality of their images ... they bought a used X-T2 and the image quality was phenominal compared to their other images. Night and day. There's is definitely something to say for the X-Tx range, and one is still on my bucket list.

  • @SlowDescentToWild
    @SlowDescentToWild 3 года назад +9

    Great video! I have the X100v on the Zhiyun Crane M2 and it's incredible for video! So much lighter than a DSLR on a gimbal. I walked 18 miles with them yesterday and it was much easier to carry. The footage it produces is gorgeous. The max record time would be a limitation for some, but if that's not an issue and you want a portable solution for buttery smooth video - it's fantastic! :)

    @mick2d2 3 года назад +5

    I'd also add that a lot of other great Fuji cameras can be had second hand for a steal.
    These are great, well made, long lasting cameras.
    I bought a new XE-1 when it came out (still got it) and picked up an immaculate X-T1 a couple of years ago, which is amazing to use with legacy lenses, the viewfinder is night and day over the X-E1.
    I would say that every model of the X range could be a good option, at the right price.

  • @davidshumaker5877
    @davidshumaker5877 4 года назад +7

    Still using my entry to the Fuji system: an X-T1, which I bought when they were being closed out a couple of years ago. I love that camera, I love the Fuji lenses (especially the 35/1.4 & 50-140/2.8), and I HATE the battery life. Okay, trying to focus on moving subjects sucks, too. But otherwise, it's a great camera!

    • @GiovanniBausC

      Exactly same here. Keeping the A7r II for high-resolution work but tried the X-T10 and now purchased an X-T3 to build a little take-anywhere kit around it.

  • @hedening3204
    @hedening3204 4 года назад +16

    Finally, someone made a clear point about the camera world, yes, the lens is last longer than the body, save the money for lens instant of going crazy for the latest camera body. However, Fuji doesn't update their camera core-tech as often as other brands, that's something users need to think about before jumping in Fuji gears, so buying an older camera model seems more valuable than buying a new one. When people choose the Fuji, it means people need to go slow and patience when taking photos.

  • @sandnessmj
    @sandnessmj 4 года назад +4

    I first learned photography basics on film (Pentax K1000) about 20 years ago. I recently took up the hobby again and a few weeks ago I picked up a “like new” X-T30 with the 18-55 kit lens for under $900. My long fingers hit the Q button a few times, but there are some relatively cheap accessories (thumb grip, grip extension) that solved those issues and make it feel more controllable. I’m blown away by the performance and have already added a couple primes to my kit. Down the road I’ll likely pick up an X-T4 if I get into more video. The Fuji X system brings similar joy to photography that my old Pentax did and is so much more forgiving!

  • @brucesmith9144
    @brucesmith9144 3 года назад +6

    I was considering the X-T200 for price and size, but after careful consideration, purchased the X-T30. For a little more money, you get much more camera. Another recommendation: choose the XF18-55 mm zoom lens over the XC15-45 mm PZ if choosing an X-A7, XT-100/200 or X-T30 kit. Some camera shops may be willing to switch the XC lens for the XF lens as mine did. The power zoom lens is a throwback (more like a throw away) to the old compact digital point-and-shoot cameras and your ability to zoom is limited to preset focal ranges rather than continuous zoom along the whole range.

  • @scott2100

  • @obi-wankenobi2833
    @obi-wankenobi2833 3 года назад +5

    Hello there, great video, but i think you should have included the XT1 for the under 500$ section. Though it's 6 years old by now, it's still a top Camera and one of my all time favourites. Sure, it hasn't got the best focus, but if you aren't shooting sports or so there's no problem at all. Highend classic Camera with astonishing image quality (even for 2020) for around 400$ (in a good condition). Super fun to use and a moneysaver for better lenses.
    But either way, great content, keep up the good work!

  • @jasonandrews7355
    @jasonandrews7355 3 года назад +29

    I bought an X-E1 a couple of years ago for under $200. I got it as a secondary camera, for it's small size (with the 27mm 2.8,) and for adapting vintage glass.
    It's a champ, and I love it! My main camera is a high res full frame monster, so the tiny 16MP Fuji is the perfect counterweight when I don't want to take things too seriously. (the image quality still holds up too - I love that original X-Trans sensor!)

    Started with the X-T100, then added the X-T3, and more recently the X-E3 (used). The E3 paired with the 23f2 is my daily carry, the T3 is the work-horse, and I still take the T100 out and about here and there. I’m hoping to get the X-Pro3 at some point, hopefully after a substantial price reduction, haha.

    Thank you very much for this great video. I tend to be an advocate of older Fujifilm cameras. I have reviewed many of them and concluded that they are all great options in their own right. Some of my favorite cameras have been 16 Mpix X-Trans II cameras. Cameras don't have to be new and expensive for their owner enjoy photography.

    Excellent video . I have a XT-10 from 2013 . I shoot mostly street photography and for me it's given me very nice images . The build quality could have been better but on the other hand it's entry level and in my case affordable . The next camera that I buy will almost certainly be a Fuji .

    Q button not a problem anymore since you can switch it off (choose none for it) or use it as back button to focus or to peak etc. whatever you want hehe
    Small, compact, plactic bag for weather sealing but not often you need it.
    Price was unbeatable with kit less 2x less the xt-3 or 3x less then pro3 when I bought it during cyber monday.

    • @jasonandrews7355
      @jasonandrews7355 4 года назад +9

      I've had one for about a year now as a secondary camera, for when I don't want to lug my big DSLR around. It's delightful! Just yesterday I was out shooting with it and an old Minolta 50mm lens, and the images look fantastic. It's really hard to beat the image quality and decent build quality of a used XE-1 (or other older Fujis, I'm sure.)
      Also, as someone who usually shoots with a high resolution full frame body, it doesn't make that much of a difference. The XE-1 is perfectly capable for 90+% of what I shoot!
      Glad you're enjoying it, you should have many happy years with it :).

    • @ryans_life
      @ryans_life 4 года назад +3

      Congrats mate. It is a gem of a camera. Have had mine for many years and still love it. The sensor on it and to a certain extent the T1 is phenomenal. Great to hold on even when you buy other bodies for it's lovely look. Pro tip, pair it with the 35 1.4 or manually adapt lenses for some extra sexyness

    • @problemat1que
      @problemat1que 4 года назад +2

      The first gen cameras are such a good deal and got really nice firmware upgrades back in the day to make them very useful for adapting manual focus lenses. Most of what happened afterwards was concerning megapixels, ibis, and autofocus, which for a short walkaround manual lens doesn't matter. I'm glad people are still getting a lot of joy out of these, hopefully for many years to come.

    For photography, I prefer the X-T3 dual-axis tilting display by far over the X-T4 side flip screen. That’s why I‘ve just purchased the X-T3 although I‘d have liked to have the IBIS.

  • @FabrizioZago
    @FabrizioZago 4 года назад +8

    Great video comparison. I'm considering an X-T3 in future as an every day carry or for when I'm out and about taking photos for my channel. When I need to walk much more, far from home, a full frame DSLR with its lenses starts to feel heavy, considering what I need to carry to shoot videos also. It will not subsitute completely my full frame DSLR but in some trips definetly yes. We'll see, I gave myself some more months to think about.

      I also bought the x-t30 bout half a year ago. Its so easy to carry around and take with. And the pictures always work out. I neither have had a Q-button accident. But I do notice myself adjusting the iso from Auto 1 (64-800) to extra high by accident. The battery could be longer lasting but atleast im transferring the photos much more often to my pc.

    Now that you have your hands on an XT4, I would love to hear in a future video your analysis of how older Fuji lenses (23 f1.4, 35 f1.4) perform on this latest model XT body. Some reviewers (including you) have mentioned the slow and noisy autofocus of older Fuji primes. Are you seeing better autofocus with the XT4 and older Fuji primes?

    no one buys that, but i it's basically one of THE best midrange camera if not THE best from fuji.

    I want to let you guys know I just bought the Xt30 with the 18-55 kit lens for $955 before tax and shipping on Amazon. I wanted a small and portable camera that had good quality so I could capture moments in my life anywhere I went. I was considering getting a used Fuji I actually almost bought a Xt2 for $550 but after looking into some newer models and really thinking about the long term use I’m not sure how the camera will hold up and I always put insurance on my expensive items I decided to again look into new ones and found the Xt30 for $675 body only and again $955 with the kit lens. I really didn’t want to spend this much on a camera but it was a really good deal so I bit the bullet and am now waiting for it to ship to me. Also guys if you’re patient and keep an eye on amazon listings you might see the same price I did I saw that mine has been jumping in price it’ll go to $1299 then back down sometimes on certain colors.
