      Base MacBook Air M2/M3 will handle basic to intermediate editing with ease. If you're concerned about being safe for years to come, I would consider looking at the refurbished section on the Apple site and look at an M1 MacBook Pro. Both will be your most budget friendly options.

      That is one monstrosity! That's a lot of storage and a lot of power. At that price though, I would consider a Pro with 1TB/512GB storage and 16/18GB RAM. It's just too big of an upgrade and extra cost in comparison to the Pro's in my opinion. At that point you should go Pro if you do a lot of editing like you mention.

    • @AntonJDCreatives

      Apologies for my late reply, I was severely sick the past couple of weeks and was in the hospital for 10 days. For basic UA-cam videos without much color grading, special effects, key frames, animations and whatnot you will be fine with the base model. The 16GB will future proof you a bit more when you grow and evolve in your content. Meanwhile you already made a purchase? Curious to find out what you got! Either way you will be fine for some time to come.

      Apologies for the delay, I spent 10 days in the hospital and have been severely sick due to pneumonia. Slowly getting better now! I haven't yet used the V6, because I've seen numerous people on UA-cam say the AF is almost unusable in the V6. The red record box around the screen seems nice though. Because so many people seem to complain about the AF in V6, I think Fuji will address this soon.

    For the overheating issue, I'm in Texas with my XH2 and will get overheat warnings from time to time during the summer. It's usually from being in direct sunlight with a black camera body. Once I sit in the shade for a bit with the rear screen popped out to vent off the heat, it's settles back down. All the bits that get hot are behind the screen which is why that optional fan for video work mounts there.

    I have both m1 16GB Mac mini and m1 8GB MacBook Air for potable (could have gone with one 16GB MBA and dock it but anyway it happened to be so), so my next upgrade might be m4 or m5 refurbished product. I like the MacBook Air 15 inch in the following points. First of all the 15 inch screen size is really comfortable, coming from 15 inch MacBook Pro 2015 and 13 inch MacBook Air m1, I actually prefer the larger screen, this gives me immersive feelings while working. Secondly, the weight of 15 inch new air is so light, and moving around adds up creativity, while the heavier 16 inch pro is a chunk machine to carry with, especially with iPad and camera. Thirdly, it is very interesting looking at the ppi of the pro series compare to the air, air has the lower ppi, which means if you set them both in 2x resolution, the air will have larger text size, it is easier for your eye. I guess there will still be a lot of time before my purchase, so apple might come up with something interesting, let's see.

    Hey bro, loved your video. I am also a content creator. My channel started growing a little bit. I am thinking of buying 15 inch M2 MacBook Air. I am sure that I want to get 16GB ram, that’s decided. But I am going back and forth between 512GB SSD and 1TB SSD, here in Canada it’s about $225 difference.

    • @AntonJDCreatives
      @AntonJDCreatives 2 місяці тому

      Hey man sorry for my late response, I've been away for a bit. I've been very pleased with my 15" Air to be honest. I recently got a new job in the creative space and I received a 16" M3 Pro. The difference isn't huge to be honest, so you are making the right decision in going with the Air. 512GB SSD or 1TB SSD have the same write and read speeds as far as I know. So you are really only paying for more memory. I would save that money and buy an external SSD to edit off of. I do that regardless of the memory my computer has. That being said, just for creative use alone and various things you will end up saving on your computer itself, 512GB isn't THAT much. I often need to clean up my hard drive a bit to keep some headspace on the computer. My next computer would be 1TB for sure. But even then you will probably still need an external SSD. So maybe you should go 512GB SSD and buy a 2TB SSD which would still be cheaper than going 1TB SSD and 1TB external SSD.

I haven't seen these issues yet on my XH2-S though I have only had it for a short time and haven't truly put it through its paces yet. I've found the ProRes footage to be quite clean, only gets somewhat noisy when shooting 4k120 in h.265 format which is easily cleaned up in post.

      Had a taste of ProRes and couldn't really tell that big of a difference image quality wise. I mostly shoot All-I so the quality should be there. I don't experience the issue that often too! But I'm always afraid it will occur on some footage that I can't reshoot. I just don't know what could cause such an issue other than a faulty sensor...Thanks for your comment I appreciate it!

    Did you consider the lumix s5 ii? I have the first model and till this day I prefer the image out of that to any other camera I’ve seen. AF isn’t amazing but, the lumix s5 ii looks way better for that.

    • @AntonJDCreatives
      @AntonJDCreatives 2 місяці тому

      Funny you say that because I have used a GH5 for about a year and I actually still think that was the crispiest and most pleasing image overall I have gotten to date out of any of my cameras. Sounds crazy compared to an FX30 and especially an X-H2s that many people consider to be a really filmic and cinematic camera. But always manually focusing wasn't an option anymore. So I definitely considered the S5ii with the new AF. But there were just not enough crystal clear reviews about the AF and considering it is their first swing at it, I wasn't confident enough to go for it compared to the well proven AF of Sony. But price wise that may be your best bang for your buck camera out right now (with the X-S20 really close)! Thanks for your comment!

    Please can you help a beginner here. I am yoga teacher. I use one setup (frame), one video, 40 min or so, fade in, fade out, little colout grading (brightness mostly) and ad some music in a background an background noise reduction. I normally have 1080p videos but considering going to 2k or maybe 4k in a future. How long does the export on this video lasts? This is important because I have yoga centar in Croatia and on top of my 20+ videos a month of editing, I have 30 more from my yoga teachers. So I need to have quick export. My edit lasts for about 10 min TOPS because I don't have much to do and it's all simple and automatic, but I have a lot of videos to process. Thank you very much for your help because, as you said, 300 euros are a big deal to me and I can not find export speed anywhere. I want Macbook Air, but I am not sure 16gb, 512 ssd M2 15'' will be fast enough. I edit in CapCut. Here is an example: ua-cam.com/video/3vcofTIOQ0E/v-deo.html

    • @AntonJDCreatives
      @AntonJDCreatives 2 місяці тому

      Firstly I wanna apologize for my (very) late response! I've been off the grid for a bit. If you truly need fast export times and you edit longer videos (like you do those 40 minute videos) you will definitely feel the difference between an Air and a Pro. As a matter of fact, I would even say the majority of the difference is export times. That's where the Air really heats up for extended periods of time where it will eventually throttle. I've been using a 16" M3 Pro I have received at my new job, and it's certainly snappier. For editing you will be fine, but a Pro will really save you time on your exports. What the exact difference will be in your examples is very hard to say. Maybe you already made your decision? If so, I'm curious what you ended up getting and how it's going so far! Thanks again for your comment!

    I’ve had my xh2s for well over a year now and have never had these issues you’re describing. The camera is extremely reliable and consistent with the image. The AF on mine is 90% of what my a7iv used to be before I sold it but I’m happy with it 100%. AF is heavily lens dependent as I’m sure you know. My 23mm f1.4 performs poorly compared to my 16-55 which gives me incredible AF. I also have my xh2s set to NR all the way down and sharpness is also down by -1. Before I had the NR set to default I had a horrible image. I’m sure you know all of this so I’m thinking your fuji is faulty….

    • @AntonJDCreatives
      @AntonJDCreatives 2 місяці тому

      Hey Adnan thanks for your comment man! Sorry for my late response, when life/daughter/work takes over at times... I mostly use my X-H2s with the Sigma 18-50, which has decent AF performance when you look at the reviews. Overall, the AF isn't super reliable in my opinion. My XF 35mm f2 seems to perform a little better, but still. My Sigma 18-35 with the K&F adapter is okay, but of course you lose reliability when adapting. My FX30 just feels more consistent to me, but in true run and gun situations it isn't a magical no error feature either! I played around with turning NR down, but there is already enough noise as it is most of the time 😁. Yeah I'm afraid there could be something wrong with my unit. Thanks again man I appreciate the feedback and tips!

      I actually used the GH5 as my main camera for a year. I loved the image and colors/v-log. Always manually focusing though… You’re using an S5ii(X) with phase detection AF? That’s supposed to be very good, I even considered the S5ii(X) because of it… so I’m curious which camera you’re talking about.

    Great video! Like many have already said here, it is a crippling decision to make especially when you can only afford one camera. The many viewpoints shared in the video and then the comments were very helpful. I just wanted to add that when I think of upgrading, selling is out of question. I have a Fuji X-T30 and I'm looking to upgrade but selling is never an option. Where I come from, I never got a hand me down camera so keeping a camera that I can pass down to my kids is always at the back of my mind and is an important factor to consider while making the purchase.

    Is it a performance drop of 15% or 50%? 15% seems manageable to me but not 50%.

    • @AntonJDCreatives
      @AntonJDCreatives 3 місяці тому

      Definitely more on the 15% side than the 50%. I read an article online where they had done some advanced testing in creative app usage where the M2 air throttled. The performance drop brought the M2 chip to the same level the M1 chip is at in full performance. So if you're using an M2 air you will ALWAYS be guaranteed M1 air optimal performance, under the heaviest sustained loads. When in full power mode the M2 chip is supposed to be about 20% faster, better than the M1. That would put the performance drop in throttling at around 15-20%. Thanks for your question.

      The Apple SSD upgrades are ridiculously expensive, I know. However the RAM on Apple computers is known to be more efficient than windows computers. But 64gb of RAM on a Windows would probably smack the 16gb on an Apple everyday 🤣. I just have always used Apple devices and I honestly hate using windows every time I need to.
