And yes - “my images may be garbage but I’m having fun” is basically my photography motto. I also love taking pictures of buildings and walls and junk piles and sticker-covered signs and all that and I do just have fun.
My motto is "I take a lot of pictures, then look thru them to see if I can find a photograph or 2". It's really a fun way of looking at this hobby. BTW: My torn-poster collection is getting a lot of attention:)
I remember when I first got mine I was like, why do I need this when I have an iPhone?? But man it’s a different beast and brings out the inner photographer.
I’ve owned the X pro 3 for a little over a year and it is the most inspiring camera to use for me. I use it with auto focus lenses and cheap manual focus lenses. With film simulations that I adjust to my liking I feel like I get the looks and the results that I’m looking for. It is a great camera. 📸🔥 I’ve never used the X-E4. Street photography is my jam
Ditto. I can't believe it's September 2022 already and Cam is only discovering the XPro3 now lol. It's the coolest camera I've used in 40 or so years of shooting and the most fun. The XPro3 is great paired with vintage M42 lenses as well as native glass.
I love the XPro series. I shot with the XPro2 from launch until picking up the XPro3 shortly after it launched. I'm the straight weirdo that uses it full time for commercial work. I tether in the studio for my fashion work, then shoot product photography, then business commercial work, and then use the same damn camera for street, and family photos. No other camera made me happy to shoot for my business AND my personal family images. It's DEFINITELY NOT a way of working I would recommend for everyone, but if it's for you, then you'll know it, and you'll be so incredibly happy with this little damn creative beast. The 35 1.4 only comes off when it absolutely has to for a particular shot. And when the job requires it, I just rent the GFX for that level of clinical output. Win win. Oh and a big Texas welcome Cam!
I totally agree on having fun, sometimes I feel like my entire day of shooting was for naught but I have so much fun just taking the pictures that the end results doesn't matter in the end.
@@cammackey I’m not sure. I’ve never been a huge fan of 35mm focal length. Always been more of a 50mm guy. But the 35mm just kept working for me for a lot of the shots. I was mostly running the 35mm 1.4 on the xpro3 and then switched to the 90 f2 for some of the ceremony shots.
Lucky enough to have two of those cameras. The 100v is awesome, it just makes you want to take photos and makes you smile at the same time. The pro3, it’s inspiring to use, almost like it’s egging me on to push myself photographically. I feel like it’s hard to take a bad picture with either of these cameras.
I'm an old guy too and used the viewfinder most of the time. Lately I started to use the screen for framing more and I must say that in some occasions my composition actually improved.
Thank you for your honesty! I wish more people would speak about the little things like the viewfinder comparison since that makes a camera more useable for some of us!
At one point you said something like “this isn’t my usual style, go check…”, dude this was just a great video to watch you having fun, and the on the fly creative process when shooting the car lot. Keep these up
Brother you got to get the Tele Conversion Lens for the x100v! Screws on regular lens and just adds versatility! I slap it on all the time when I need a closer reach. Solid quality too
hey 'old man', I'm with you on the viewfinder. I have my touch screen to change settings, so it's usually facing out, but it drives me nuts when my nose hits it. My first choice is always the viewfinder. I guess that because the young'uns are coming from cell phone cameras, a screen is what they grew up on.
Loved this. Like we were just chillin and I have the same sentiment. I have the xt4, xt3, xe4. Just sold the xt2 and I’m still thinking about this xpro3. It’s a problem. Lol
I get what you mean about the X-E4. The whole X-Pro shooting experience just feels “right” to me. Feels great in the hands. Feels great when held up to the eye. I had an X-E3 and X-Pro1 and often preferred picking up the X-Pro1 even though it was older and slower. So I finally replaced the X-E3 with an X-Pro2 and I love it. I still like the idea of having something much smaller than an X-Pro, so I picked up an X-M1. I don’t have the “which similar camera should I carry?” problem now as the X-M1’s only redeeming quality is its size (truly pocketable, closest to a compact point and shoot but I can still swap lenses).
Every since I got my x100f years ago I’ve wanted 4:5 and 4:3 directly in camera, considering their entire brand is built on having the best straight out of camera jpgs. Really hope they give us that with the xpro4 in the future. Nice video.
@@katecrabb1958 you can! But they only give you 3:2 1:1 and 16:9. 4:5 to replicate 6x7 film and 4:3 to replicate 645 would be ideal. Especially because instagrams vertical is 4:5 it just makes sense for SOOC jpg purposes.
0:30 Seeing the world outside of the frame is what you get in a rangefinder, so nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Looking at the screen is under rated from one old school guy to another, embrace the technology. Now-a-days, putting the camera to your eye can garner a bad reaction in the street. I hope to get a small camera that I can shoot just like everyone is using their phones (think GRIII orX100V) - you get less negative response during street photos IMHO.
I still don’t think that’s anywhere close as the same. With a rangefinder yours still framing off your eye to see your frame.. you’re jsut getting a pre context view. Which is why the XPro 3 had a hybrid viewfinder. But yeah I can def see how putting it up to your eye for street photography could be a dilemma and certain situations
The main reason to choose an EVF/OVF over the screen is the extra detail (you are not seeing a tiny screen (because of the distance between to your face and your camera or phone). The other reason are sunny days, definitely better to use the EVF/OVF. Third reason for some people (like me): if you use glasses for eye strain, the screen is useless, as streets photographers can’t waste time taking on and off the glasses to watch the screen and then the street over and over, thus the EVF is a better choice.
@@abelardojeda agreed with all of your points! I rambled on more about it but cut it all out. Pretty much with all my cameras that flip in, I keep in. I rarely take them out. Because I’m always shooting fast pace and it’s just easier to keep that screen in. I only check it when I need to double check lighting or showing a client or model the shot.
@@cammackey yes I agree. The old school guys even guessed their exposure as there were no built in light meters yet. Cartier-Bresson mentioned that once. You're probably the youngest of the old school guys and I love it. There's so much about photography modern 'photographers' have forgotten. Just browse through a forum for digital photography and you'll see what I mean. Sometimes they don't even know basics. When did you start photography? Like me at 12/13?
I had the same dilema when I wanted to try something different after 17 years with 4/3 cameras. I trying to pick between those two cameras. I got the 100v a few weeks ago and it's a magical camera. Between that and my em5 mark 3 with a 50mm 1.4 leica it's a fantastic combo that you can put in a tiny bag
My first camera was a Nikon D70 lol then I got the original x100 , then I switched to Sony a6000 , got bored of that after a year went back to .Fuji Xt20 , following the Xt2, after that I went back for the 100v, now I’m rolling with that and xh1 . I love Fuji . Hoping this Xh2 will be a complete different ball game . Il be keeping the 100v for a long time tho ;)
Beautiful video grade! What inspired your move to Austin? Your music or the photography... or, just creativity period? I sold my beloved GRiii in lieu of the X100V and F. I just needed the immersiveness of a viewfinder. I also have the X-T3 and I have everything I need. Feel inspired by these cameras each and every day. Love your work.
@@cammackey Someone told me once… “You’re always where you need to be”. So, don’t sweat it. If you’re feeding your soul, spirit and creativity… your doing it right.
Love hearing you think out loud here! You mentioned, then pulled out that 56mm f1.2. My daughter's friend asked if I would shoot her HS grad photos. I was nervous that my 18-55 wouldn't be good enough so I rented the 56mm. OMG! That lens is sooo good. Now I have a question. I'd like to get more into portraits, fashion shots, maybe kid events. So, been doing research. Finally, here's the question: Would you prefer the 56mm or the 90 f2? Going to have to sell some stuff to fund a lens!! LoL! My camera is the XT-3 btw.... Thanks again for a fun video. Love your stuff.
Depends on where you shoot. Outside with lots of space? The 90mm would be best. Mainly head Portraits? Need better AF and weather resistance? Then 90mm. The 56 is the faster lens and renders Images so beautifully but why not safe the money and consider the much cheaper Sigma 56mm f/1.4? I switched my fuji 50mm f/2 for that lens and have no regrets.
@@venom2k2 That would be good if I was only interested in doing portraits. But, I want something good a portraits and outdoor sports that is nice and sharp. As you said, the 50-140 is the one, but I can't afford that.
@@charliejg oh, the 50-140 would be perfect but I didnt even mention that one 😅 That's one of the lenses I want but it's out of my budget right now. If I were you I would look into the Sigma 56mm or the Fuji 90mm. If you are set on the 90mm you might as well consider the Viltrox 85mm. Not as good as the Fuji 90, but considering the price it's a good lens
Thanks for the videos man, love any content you put out honestly. I just rented the xt4 and I used it with my M mount Voigtlander 35mm 1.2iii, and loooved the experience. So easy to manual focus and all that. Ive been torn on the xe4, xt4, h2s and x100v. I am also needing a hybrid for simple video with 4k60 (i just use the Komodo for pro video and the gfx100s for pro photo) so I need that portable tiny hybrid. i just want an x100v with interchangeable lenses, or just suck it up and get the xt4/h2s. I dont think the size difference is thaaat crazy.
Honestly I think it’s a shame Fuji chooses not to go full frame. They have more soul than the competitors and the following to back it up. It would be awesome to take the guess work out of lens selections and take full advantage of vintage glass more so than Sony. Love the heck out of their system though.
Agreed. They would run the game if they went full frame. Or if their gfx line could ever compete against full frame in regard to speed. They would have to update all their lenses and processors still
I'm an old fart too who started with film SLRs and still shoots a lot with optical viewfinders, but that back screen on the X-Pro 3 was a dealbreaker for me. To me it felt like Fuji purposefully made the screen inconvenient for anyone who didn't want to pretend to be shooting film on a Leica. I do see the appeal for certain people though, I'm just not one of them.
I get your point, but the screen is still there. I think the XT line is more suited for that style of photography. The Xpro line is focused on street shooters and people looking for a modern rangefinder experience. I feel like it would’ve been terrible had they went the M-D route and omitted the screen altogether 🤷🏾♂️
Hey Matt, not trying to sell you anything, but I felt the same way when it launched. I shot with the XPro2 from launch until the XPro3 came out. I was so disappointed and frustrated with the screen. And then I just bought it anyway and after a short "getting used to phase" I came to really appreciate the decision. It's not for everyone, but after I tried it, my disappointment definitely faded and I came to love it. Just my two cents with many many hours behind both cameras.
I shoot portra 400 and 800 SD card, and sometimes logo color 400 too. I prefer Gold SD tho. I love shooting film, but theres a time and place for both. I personally dont want to waste film on random shots, I prefer to use it on my fashion shoots. Specially now since its so freakin expensive to shoot film just for fun
@@ekphotography I do use the Mamiya 645 pro tl, Mamiya rz67 pro II, canon QT17, canon F1, and Contax TVS II tho, so I am familiar with the grandpa struggle haha. Those cameras will make you appreciate all these fancy mirrorless cameras even more right!
The way I see it, To Save Cash, after having gone down the following path is: buy it now, try it, convince yourself if you like it or not, and sell it. Get an x100f or v and when the XPro-4 comes out, you can buy an XPro-3 that someone’s selling frantically, for cheaper😂😂 The XPro-4 is coming and I’m certain it must be sooner than later. Based off market statistics, I think the price of the XPro-3 will fall and the X100v should stay sky-high. If they’re the same price right now, you can buy the XPro3 and sell it after you’ve experienced it; having the equal amount, buy the x100v and wait until the XPro-4! The x100v will stay just as expensive. It's thought to be the best all-around and you won’t lose money; all while having tried and know what the XPro line of cameras is like. *All of this having been said by a college student, it’s how I personally am managing my limited amount of funds. This will probably not mean anything to someone that has everything figured out, has money, and is waiting for the XPro-4. I just wanted to share my thoughts from the budgeted living point of view, where anything and everything is through third-party ofc.. Facebook Marketplace & Offerup. Maybe it could help someone dreaming to get an XPro For those, some friendly advice: Do your research and check everything before buying Anything.

I just got a X100v and it's so much fun:) Loving it. I put the iso and SS in auto and just rip away.
Shot a wedding this weekend. Had the xpro3 as my main camera & x100v as my secondary. Ended up using the x100v for most of the shots.

x100v is probably the best side piece to have on you at all times
It really is. One of the main things for me, besides form factor.. was the flash and leaf shutter.
fuji sensors are just 🤤 so good, hope 60k comes soon
Cropping options are cool. I would like crop line in the view finder. That would be even more helpful!

I want this camera so bad!
What filter you used for the photos
Usually none. Been trying out a tiffen glimmer glass on my x100V tho
@@cammackey what’s the preset or simulation you used for these flicks in the video love those!
Honestly I think it’s a shame Fuji chooses not to go full frame. They have more soul than the competitors and the following to back it up. It would be awesome to take the guess work out of lens selections and take full advantage of vintage glass more so than Sony. Love the heck out of their system though.
Agreed. They would run the game if they went full frame. Or if their gfx line could ever compete against full frame in regard to speed. They would have to update all their lenses and processors still
I'm an old fart too who started with film SLRs and still shoots a lot with optical viewfinders, but that back screen on the X-Pro 3 was a dealbreaker for me. To me it felt like Fuji purposefully made the screen inconvenient for anyone who didn't want to pretend to be shooting film on a Leica. I do see the appeal for certain people though, I'm just not one of them.
I get your point, but the screen is still there. I think the XT line is more suited for that style of photography. The Xpro line is focused on street shooters and people looking for a modern rangefinder experience. I feel like it would’ve been terrible had they went the M-D route and omitted the screen altogether 🤷🏾♂️
Hey Matt, not trying to sell you anything, but I felt the same way when it launched. I shot with the XPro2 from launch until the XPro3 came out. I was so disappointed and frustrated with the screen. And then I just bought it anyway and after a short "getting used to phase" I came to really appreciate the decision. It's not for everyone, but after I tried it, my disappointment definitely faded and I came to love it. Just my two cents with many many hours behind both cameras.
Hope I will own one
Had both. Sold the X100V.
How come? I’m trying to choose between both
More fuji videos brotha!!! 🤣👍🏻
Slowly binging every video…
My x pro 3 sleeps between me and my wife.
I would like you to compare them with the fuji x-h2s
Anyone else notice he has his lens cap on in the thumbnail...😂
Hahahaha
& in Los Angeles, you might get mugged with those grear with you for street photography
ADHD - right on! Like following a mosquito on a beach bum fest.
Waiting for the giveaway
Do you shoot with a portra 400 SD card?... Haha "Kids, shoot digital and pretend it's a film camera so you can be a real photographer".
I shoot portra 400 and 800 SD card, and sometimes logo color 400 too. I prefer Gold SD tho.
I love shooting film, but theres a time and place for both. I personally dont want to waste film on random shots, I prefer to use it on my fashion shoots. Specially now since its so freakin expensive to shoot film just for fun
je ne comprend pas toutes cette vulgarité !… onts peux quand meme être respectueux pour ceux qui écoute ….! enfin cest la dernière fois pour moi…bye
You are Old? LMAO You were probably 10 years old, if even, when I was shooting Pentax 6X7 and Mamiya 6X7. I am guessing you are about 30
Well I didn’t say I was a grandpa haha. But no I’m older than that haha
@@cammackey LOL
@@ekphotography I do use the Mamiya 645 pro tl, Mamiya rz67 pro II, canon QT17, canon F1, and Contax TVS II tho, so I am familiar with the grandpa struggle haha. Those cameras will make you appreciate all these fancy mirrorless cameras even more right!
Too much talking.
The way I see it, To Save Cash, after having gone down the following path is: buy it now, try it, convince yourself if you like it or not, and sell it. Get an x100f or v and when the XPro-4 comes out, you can buy an XPro-3 that someone’s selling frantically, for cheaper😂😂
The XPro-4 is coming and I’m certain it must be sooner than later. Based off market statistics, I think the price of the XPro-3 will fall and the X100v should stay sky-high. If they’re the same price right now, you can buy the XPro3 and sell it after you’ve experienced it; having the equal amount, buy the x100v and wait until the XPro-4! The x100v will stay just as expensive. It's thought to be the best all-around and you won’t lose money; all while having tried and know what the XPro line of cameras is like.
*All of this having been said by a college student, it’s how I personally am managing my limited amount of funds. This will probably not mean anything to someone that has everything figured out, has money, and is waiting for the XPro-4. I just wanted to share my thoughts from the budgeted living point of view, where anything and everything is through third-party ofc.. Facebook Marketplace & Offerup. Maybe it could help someone dreaming to get an XPro
For those, some friendly advice: Do your research and check everything before buying Anything.
