The original video was cropped square and these are back to 4:3 as shot. A little cropping but otherwise just Nostalgic Negative lol. Really works wonders on cars and refections. I actually for some local attention on the first video (never happened before lol) I’m very pleased lol. Anyway, I refocused the video with a gentler tune and full glory on the photos!

Me too! Can you drive though lol

Aww man thanks lol. I’m humbled by your kindness as I have seen YOUR videos and you do amazing work. Yeah, the X20 is a blast to tote around and a clever little camera. Insta360 is fun to mess with too! Thanks 😊

WHAT? I can’t hear you lol turn off or down the volume. I never intend to offend

It was an emotional time for me in that dance circle and I fed on every bit of it. Experiencing Juneteenth gave me a new respect for the 4th of July holiday. Patriotic inclusion - that’s what I’m talking about!

Thanks! Yeah my neighbor who does auto detailing did it for me. Every button dial and screen work perfect too. Resale isn’t a problem because this X-Pro3 is a keeper lol.

And thanks for watching!!!

Thanks 🙏. Russian?

@@DanFarrar yes

@@DanFarrar Yes, I'm from Russia. I accidentally came across the video, using the fujifilm x20 tag. I have been a fan of it for 3 years now, in my hands. And she pleases me with shots and attracts a little attention from the outside to me. And it's so nice to watch videos where there is this camera. Your video is very pleasant, both the footage and the accompanying music

@@classic_game8656 cool! Glad you found my channel. X20 is awesome little camera. Thanks for watching and stop by anytime.

@@DanFarrar I will definitely look in

No crop but no audio either. d-log too!

@@UncleMichaelable does the Nikon f lens cover the sensor OK? Although expensive, I don’t think there is a bad GFX lens. The kit lens and even the little 50mm produces great results.

@@UncleMichaelable and thanks for stopping by! 👋

@@DanFarrar I’d say it covers it 95-97%. I always add a bit of vignette in post anyway😀. Look into getting a decent adapter. The voigtlander 40mm f2 is a joy to use on my GFX, it is perfectly compact and f2 is plenty.

@@UncleMichaelable nice combo! Even with a slight crop, still tops FF by a chunk. I’m guessing with crop and GFX you would be sitting at around 35mm and at 1.6f equivalent? Have you used it at 4:3 ratio? Do you get AF? I’ve been drooling over Voigtlander for some time now lol

@@DanFarrar there is an autofocus adapter that is about $499, that I have considered. I have not used the 4:3 ratio. Get some voigtlander glass and a $30 adapter and you’ll be good I think. I just took some photos of the kids with the 105 f2 dc Nikkor last night and they are awesome, especially in the black and white setting that I live in on my GFX.

Thanks neighbor. Hi Otis 👋

I know right??? Who is this AI guy?

@@ms.kayak7seas Photography is a very broad subject. Many cameras doing many things. My advice is to practice lots and keep exploring with your camera. It isn’t as easy as they make it out to be. Grab camera and go…repeat…repeat lol. Good luck! I’ll be looking for your video! 👍

@@jwalbanker if you use a tripod you will need the mounting attachment that came with the camera. It adds a mount to the bottom and usb-c in the back.

The X20 is just ‘black and white” no ACROS but there is monochrome +rgb filter. It is my favorite Fuji B&W (no kidding). Mark Adams (one camera one lens) has a really nice one called M10 Monochrom and that is my favorite for APSC. I’m thinking part of the reason the X20 does so well for me is I don’t feel like it’s trying to fight me for exposure. X20 says you want black? OK then black you get. More modern systems are so good at getting exposure “correct” and dynamic range “spot on” that they fail to let you fail lol. I don’t need dynamic range when I’m crunching the crap out of the shadows dang it. I feel the same with highlights…sometimes I blow them out because I want to. I love my GFX for what it does, but again with the crazy killer good dynamic range that can be really hard to push or pull around lol (still…GFX is wonderful). As for settings on the X20 I had S -1, NR -1, H/S -1 & +1, DR 100 and ISO 100 (this little bugger has 100 lol ) P mode and spot point metering. The lens is 24-112mm and I hit the gambit of focal ranges and I found I work it just like the 16-80f4 on the X-Pro3. I used to do weddings so that range of 24-120mm on a zoom is natural for me.

fun to not say anything to the camera lol The AI part of the Insta360 app is a kick and it’s crazy what they come up with. Within the app, you send them a small section of video (with keywords) and they send back an AI enhanced video. You can only do 3 per day lol

@@DanFarrar Lol! You’ll have to show me how to do that too! I just have a basic iPad - hopefully it’s good enough! 🤪

@@JenniferLupine that’s the amazing thing…Insta360 works on most phones/tablets. The app would work slower and probably have a little lag maybe but it’s pretty stable. I’m not certain but I think the camera does some work too. Both my X2 and X4 get quite warm working through that WiFi lol. I am glad both the Pocket 3 and insta360 work well with my M1 iPad Pro. I have zero interest in a new iPad because camera gear is always first on my list. I think it will work lol -sorry for the rant lol

@@DanFarrar Rant away! lol! 😉 Do you guys have plans for July 4th? Steve has to work, I’ll be home weeding and watering the flowers- maybe take a walk too. The neighbors tend to set off lots of fireworks so we’ll sit back and enjoy the show! 😆

@@JenniferLupine This entire town lights up on the 4th. We got CBD gummies for the dogs. Neither one get scared but Benny will stay up barking at them all night. My neighbors typically have big boomers and I’m thinking a 360 camera is in order lol

awww thanks Bruce! Hope you and Otis have a great day!

yeah 🙄 it is…sort of. What it is is bloated to do everything you could imagine. The app is also fairly simple when you find what you need but finding what works can be a mess initially. Maybe you need a quick trip to Richland. 😁. 2 hours or less and I could get you up and going.

@@DanFarrar I’ll see if I can squeeze it in! I watched a couple how-tos but they were super basic… thanks for the invite… I might just take you up on it! Maybe later … in August. 👌😎

@@JenniferLupine for sure! Bring your X3 and iPad and I’ll show you how to get in and out of the program without hassle. I only use maybe 20% of the app options. Keyframes are simple once you get the concept. Insta360 also makes a card reader where you remove the sd card and plug it into your phone. The phone allows you to move the actual phone around in open space and see and edit in 360. I bought a card reader a couple years ago hoping I could use it on my iPad. Nope. Just phones. It’s easier for some to visualize the 360 space that way making it easier to edit. The part I really like about 360 video is how easy it is to get 9:16 to 16:9. Also love the way you can take one clip and use multiple angles achieving multiple clips from one video.

@@DanFarrar Awesome! So far I just added the app to my iPhone / I’ll add it to my iPad too. I have to clear out a bunch of my iCloud so I have more space - I try to do that every few months 😂 I delete a bunch and move other stuff to a hard drive. 🤪

@@JenniferLupine another nice thing about the 360 app is when used over WiFi the app only writes the finished file…no download beforehand.

It was summer in the 4th grade for me. Red haired neighbor girl with beat up sneakers and a pony tail and this song was my favorite.

@@DanFarrar 😎 Awesome!

we are hot and sunny all summer…just add water and sunflowers eat it all up. We don’t get out as often in the summer because of the heat so we play ball in the morning and evenings. They do take recreation seriously lol. They are both due be shaved down soon and that helps with the heat too. Neither dog sheds but they do need to get groomed and cut every other month and every month in the summer or things get bad with gnarly tangles. No shedding has its price unfortunately. Funny thing is how well the groomer works with them. They LOVE her lol.

@@DanFarrar Otis loves going to the vet as he thinks it is his own private party! LOL

it is his party! I’m told Benny is very vocal in a quiet talking way. he never does that at home lol. just at the hairdresser lol

For sure! Please let me know where the photo(s) are located on the timeline of this video. (ex. 1:12) and email me (so I can send pics and hide your email from UA-cam) hit me up at picsbydan@icloud.com. Happy to set you up 😎

PS - no hidden fees or whatever happy to share.

I made a UA-cam short with your truck as well

@@DanFarrarsweet thanks!!

Yeah, car colors now are all silver/gray with a little color added.

Crazy thing is I had to de-stabilize the video footage in post…it was too smooth and clean so I muddied it up in post with camera movement. Who would’ve thought that could be a thing lol

@@DanFarrar you live you learn , nice bud

Thank you Captain! Yank tanks on parade lol

awesome! thank you 🙏

I was a ‘59 Willys CJ-5. Top speed was 55 if going downhill lol

@@DanFarrar Indeed, those Bugs were no speed demon either...and hold on tight when a big rig blew past!! lol Sometimes I wonder how we ever survived back in the day! lol

LEO. just LEO. He does really great covers and his UA-cam videos are epic. He covers really well IMO because he has a style. He holds true to the tune but man…he gonna rock it out! lol. I adore music by Sweet. My earliest memories of their music was at a state fair in the mid seventies (I was 10-12) and one of the rides had Ballroom Blitz playing on repeat. I stood by that speaker for a while. It was a couple years later Desolation Boulevard came out. The US version was more of a greatest hits release. I feel like The Sweet were poorly managed here in the US. Sweet had some chart topper singles in the states but they were “singles” and the album was out two years earlier. Fast forward to digitized music and I devoured every Sweet song I could find and loved it all…even the bubblegum of late 60’s. My original choice for this video was Turn It Down but I couldn’t find a copy with Brian Connelly on it…just the remade stuff of recent. (which I like too lol).

@@DanFarrar I'll have to check out some of LEO's covers. I'm not really a 'covers' kind of guy, but if they are done well and the artist puts their own stamp on it, gives it a fresh twist, then I'll pay attention. Yes, the Sweet were great and that classic era of glam, 71-76, was amazing. The two artists that really captured my attention back then, 1971 ish and 1972 ish, were Marc Bolan& T.Rex and David Bowie...Hearing Starman on the radio for the very first time, one Sunday evening, on a country walk with my mum and dad, on the official UK top-20 singles chart show, was a real 'lightbulb/wow' musical moment for me. I still remember that feeling it gave me, as if it were yesterday. Been a massive Bowie fan ever since. I think I've been lucky on the music front, as I've always been able to listen to/like/enjoy, all kinds of music...From that early age, 11 to 16, glam bands and chart bands, rock, hard rock, blues rock, bands like Alice Cooper, UFO, Wishbone Ash, Rory Gallagher, Ted Nugent, the ones already mentioned, Slade, Bowie, T-Rex, The Sweet , Roxy Music, Mott, Roy Wood and Wizzard, Sparks, Nazareth, Sabbath, Deep Purple, Yes, Groundhogs, Sassafras, eventually leading on to punk and post punk, new wave etc, etc...Bands from the late 1970's to early '80s that were a big influence, were the likes of Joy Division, Comsat Angels, Psychedelic Furs, Theatre of Hate, Spear of Destiny, Killing Joke, the Banshees, Japan, etc, etc, etc...I could go on all day, lol. A band I do recommend, from the 70s, if you're not familiar, are Be-Bop Deluxe, fronted by ace guitarist and all-round genius musician and song writer, Bill Nelson...and, from the early 80s, Comsat Angels are well worth a check. Their single 'Independence Day' will give you a flavour of what they're all about........As usual, I'm waffling on far too long, lol. Cheers.

@@innercityunit2112 Love me some T-Rex for sure. I’ll check your recommendations as I’m always searching lol. I subscribe to LEO on UA-cam. He puts out a sizable amount of videos and has a great sense of humor. Funny thing, he will cover songs I really can’t stand anymore and make me enjoy it his way. And yep, always enjoyed Bowie but must admit I’m the Let’s Dance generation. As for diehard fandom, it’s Queen. That might be cliche in the homeland but out here in the good ‘ole he-man wild west of these here states…that ain’t a he-man mustache at all lol. I followed them beginning to end even through flash and Hot Space lol. The turn came when the I Want to Break Free video hit MTV…the party was over.

Thanks Bruce. It was an incredible adventure for me. Robert Franklin is a personal hero for regional history. This desert with rivers has a lot of stories. The location East Pasco is somewhere I had never been (too far for these feet lol) Robert does an amazing job bringing the story full circle.

The last scene is meaningful as they opened the circle to let my camera in. It was fun recording inside the circle after hovering about on top lol

@@DanFarrar Very meaningful! I enjoyed your editing!!

@@DanFarrar I wanted to dance along!!

I’m hoping to a follow up soon. As with many things in this atomic frontier I call home. A big player in Black American migration out of the South during Jim Crow was Hanford in the 40s and 50s.

it was a very open setting so no worries…just try and follow along lol

For low light I prefer the Pocket 3. I haven’t tried this in low light…pretty sure it isn’t good lol

When that caramel corn hit the breaking point 🫠🫠🫠 the air exploded with goodness. Food and artisan goods is hard to beat! Thanks Bruce 😁

that’s the exact reason I bought it a few months back. I was watching an episode of Prickly Pear Camera and he came across an X20 in a wholesale used box of cameras. As he ran down the specs and how the body operated I was amazed! The perfect mesh of digital and analog and exactly what I wanted. The price had gone way up and was even with the original retail tag from ten years ago! I was hoping for a couple hundred bucks!!! geez. Since I was trading in old stuff in for the purchase price…I went ahead and bought the “like new” condition. I’m glad I did. I’m thinking Fuji got hung up on the Sony RX100 video specs and abandoned the line. Too bad because as an actual point and shoot for photography? I think it’s amazing even today.

You are much too kind but I kinda agree lol. I had fun with this one and people were in good spirits all around. I had a great time visiting with some local artists I hadn’t met before and being inspired by their works. Get this 😳 the X20 doesn’t have ACROS. It’s prior so it has the Monochrome +R +Y & +G. The setting I used was Black and White..that’s it, just B&W. I gotta say though…it’s fantastic! I was spot point right down the center and recompose and click. This little bugger has a 28-112mm lens that can focus pretty well (on edges lol). I am not remotely interested in using this camera on manual mode (too fiddly for me) as for in camera settings…which only go to +3 -3 with some at +2 -2 and a limited selection (early Fuji here) anyway, I turned sharpness-1 H/S +1 and noise reduction -1. I don’t take multiples of the same scene very often and I don’t chimp at the lcd after the fact because I took my time taking the photo. I do chimp if it’s an action type shot though to see if I got it lol. This tiny 10 year old camera didn’t draw one single bit of uncomfortableness from anyone I saw or photographed. Perfect camera for the situation and I felt less intimidating too. Really fun way to capture a day!

@@DanFarrar Of course, I'm forgetting this camera is getting on a bit, ironically, somewhat of a senior moment in itself, lol. But it certainly is a nifty little camera and does take nice shots. Thanks for the settings, it's always nice to know how other photographers set things up...and same here, I don't chimp hardly at all, just the odd one to check things are pretty much on course. I knew a photographer a few years back and she'd chimp every single shot, literally. It used to drive me nuts!..but I suffered in silence, lol. As you say, a great little camera for street photography Dan, and to my eyes, certainly punches above it's weight in regards to image quality.

It’s a tight little camera. Too bad Fuji gave up on the line. The lens is a little gem and the zoom doesn’t include a buzzy -/+ toggle. I works like a real lens and has a sweet leaf shutter (like the X100’s) It’s certainly not a fast street camera. But if you go to manual focus and preset your distance, it’s just as fast as any modern camera lol

I haven’t tried that lol. My guess is it would distract a coyote. I’ve gotten a response from around 50 feet but 30 feet and below works much better.

I doubt very much I would ever show an actual attack on my channel. Just for insurance if needed. I carry some pricey gear sometimes. Sadly you and I both know what it looks like ☹️ -not the type of content I share or want to. I went down that trail with the local police 3-4 years ago and made videos of my encounters. I was so frustrated and I was clearly legal in my actions but not trusted by the PD. It killed a sizable portion of my channel because that’s not what they came to see. My videos (no longer posted) did open dialog which eventually got me in a position where I’m now a trusted entity and not a suspect. Now I’m the one calling in suspicious stuff lol. I delete a lot of activity from my episodes that might get me a lot of views and be reality but really with the dogs, photography, and jamming good tunes…who needs that lol

@@DanFarrar Indeed, it seems that chaos, calamity and drama are driving up the views on many channels that I have actually stopped watching...I really don't need any of that in my life any more at my age...gotta try and enjoy the fewer years than those that are behind. All the best and keep on jamming those tunes!! Love it!!

I do enjoy my toys lol.

we just “dealt with it” with way too long. We’ve been practicing our moves too. unsupervised dogs are not welcome in our bubble!

In good light all things are equal or very slight between the X2, X3, and X4. The only reason I got the X4 over the X3 is for faster frame rates so I could slow down footage if I wanted. The differences aren’t massive and the upgrade path is slow going. If my X2 didn’t have a scratched lens I might have kept going with the X2. Very bottom right corner of display is a camera icon. Click it and look up to top of screen. Option are 360 and Single-Lens. Click single lens and scroll options for Me Mode. Also under Single Lens is Video which is action cam. Hope that makes sense lol

I recommend an ultrasonic device for sure. I’m not sure if it works on bears though lol 😂

@@DanFarrar Lol!

The APP just isn’t made for our age group 🤔😳🤣😂🤣 The interface is self promo ridden IMO. I have streamlined and focused on areas of the app that I use or want to use so that helps. Tutorial videos are broad and hard to follow because they try to cover it all. I use 8-10 effects regularly and skip the rest until I want to try them. At some point I’m going to try and do “an idiots guide to 360 editing” - which is exactly how I do it lol. The single lens mode records an out of camera usable video. 19 by 9 and ready to use with no edit on 360 app. Single lens and Me Mode are regular files. Only the 360 video requires the app. I recommend using those modes to get used to the camera. Just go for a walk in Me Mode and it will be usable in your video editing app. It will 🤯 how it works. No selfies stick, second person point of view, SOOC!

ridiculous good light for video so it better look good lol. I have quite a few friends interested in this camera. I’m not monetized or anything but I’m happy to put it through the paces for those considering a purchase. Just a couple more videos as I learn my way around this thing lol. It also gives me a little break from photography so I can be fresh when I hit it. Car shows and some other cool stuff coming up.

I was a Chef earlier in life (that’s why your cooking impressed me) I spent time in big kitchens and music was always playing in my workspace lol. I do take time in my musical choices on my channel. I have a bit of a strange selection process that involves mood, subject, theme, really any connection I can find. I never know if the viewer ever makes the same connection while watching as some connections are abstract or personal. Sometimes no connection at all, just a song running in my head lol. Many times it’s the song that gets me out the door. Thank you Bruce! Hey, give that dog a banana will ya! Big loves to Otis ❤️

A big welcome to my channel!!! No camera can what this does lol. My next trial is the flat color profile on the X4. I’m curious if it adds any dynamic range. The Insta360 app is great in a lot of ways but I’m finding it lacks in the available range of fine contrast editing. The contrast on the Insta app is a little heavy handed IMO. Hope your day is fabulous as well ✌️

The camera lenses join to form a stitch line between the 180’s and all the way around. This invisible area of an inch or so in width is where the selfie stick is. It’s automatic by design in how it works no editing required the camera does that. If only it could remove the shadow too lol.

yo Nick! Yeah, on hot days I wear ‘em out early in the AM. I don’t take them out when it gets above 80. Roads and gravels are a good 20-30 degrees hotter at dog level. Besides, now they can hang out in the air conditioning and beg for snacks and take naps lol. We do get out for night walks sometimes too. As for me, I really like the heat. Were you with the Fuji X-T30 II? Glad your weather is improving. happy photography 🔥🎉🎉🎉

That's a great (and sensible) routine for the dogs. Aircon, Snacks & Naps, cool album title right there, Dan..lol....You could imagine maybe bands like Fun Lovin' Criminals, or Happy Mondays, releasing an album with a title like that..😎😉 Yes, out with the Fuji. It's unobtrusive size is perfect for street-photography. Been using a Kodachrome 64 variation I noted down, which I've been very impressed with. Trouble is I omitted to write down the source, can't remember who it was and so am unable to credit the person who created it, but it is good, imo....It works well in low contrast situations and the other day was nice and bright and sunny, as I said, and so tried some high contrast shots. I found some decent high contrast locations, with strong sun and hard shadows, spot-metered for the highlights (or near to) and got some fairly decent/quite dramatic shots. I'd add in negative ex comp up to -1, for some shots. Also got a couple of nice images using centre-weighted, shooting the outside from within a coffee shop interior...Tons of different ways/approaches to do things = it's all great fun! Going to try out the FXW Kodak Portra 800v2 recipe soon, this time in a bigger city location. I think this looks ideal for a light, bright, airy day, with bags of sunshine, so will give it a run then. Cheers.

@@innercityunit2112 oooo, hitting me with some Britt tunes! Nice! The only tune I recognized was Step On but I need to dig further 🤔🥳. I was jamming on some Suzi Quattro earlier. Most Yanks have no clue except the Stumblin’ In tune. lol. I’m a big fan of 70’s Brittish Glam too. A Kodachrome 64 variant I like is McCurry Kodachrome. Less warmth but with all the color goodness. I agree the exposure mode can make such a dramatic difference. I love spot point and use it most. Like most SOOC photographers, I once was fully RAW. I became so accustomed to getting the meter in the middle to get all the dynamic range for edit. I never expose down the middle now! The light qualities of the SOOC recipes are so fun to manipulate with light. I’m curious of your thoughts on the new X-T50?

@@DanFarrar The X-T50?...good question. First, the X-T30ii. I think is quite an underrated camera. Basically it's the baby brother of the X-T4, with stripped down features, obviously. But, at the end of the day, you are getting identical image output to the X-T4, which until not long back, was one of Fuji's flagship cameras. The fact that the X-T30ii doesn't have dual card slots, that doesn't matter to me, I'm not a professional wedding photographer, or the like, so no big deal. The lack of IBIS, although would be nice, again no deal breaker, as this will mostly be needed for video shooting, and TBH, I don't shoot any video, I'm a stills photographer. I suppose IBIS could come into play in low light/slower shutter speed situations, but the 18-55 Fuji kit has OIS, which is very effective and I'm able to shoot really quite low speeds hand held, very effectively. The thing I would like on the X-T30, is weather sealing, but it's understandable that Fuji would want to keep some distance between it and the X-T4...Oh, and the battery life on the X-T30 is poor. But, a spare couple of batteries and problem solved. Two batteries will easily do me on a days shoot. Moving on to the X-T50. Well, I suppose the two things that jump out, are the 40MP sensor and the 7-stops of IBIS...I'll leave the IBIS aside, as I've covered that....The 40MP is nice, but I think depends on what you want to shoot and what you intend to do with your images. The X-T30's 26MP, is absolutely fine for me and enough for any photographer, really. The 40MP would be of benefit if you were a professional product photographer, or fashion photographer, if you did any serious cropping, or wanted your images to be blown up in size, then yes 40MP is going to help. But again, that's not what I do, so isn't a concern. And you need lenses that are capable of rendering the 40MP. I think the biggest disappointment, as far as I'm concerned, regarding the X-T50, was the decision to not make it weather sealed. If they had done this, and made it weather sealed, they would have had a little all-weather powerhouse on their hands and I think it would be extremely popular. Again, Fuji wanting to keep some distance between it and the X-T5, but I can't help feeling that Fuji has missed an opportunity here, and shot themselves in the foot somewhat...Had they included weather sealing, I mat have found the small form of the X-T50 quite tempting. But as it is, I really have no desire to buy it. It really doesn't offer my photography any big benefits (some small ones as mentioned), so I'll be sticking with the X-T30ii..........The X-T50 does come in at a very reasonable price though, for what you get, it has to be said. At the end of the day Dan, it's all highly subjective. These are just my ideas and preferences, my thoughts, and what suits me and my style of shooting. Horses for courses, right? I think my next camera addition will be a full-frame mirrorless, not sure which yet, but got one or two in mind.

Nikon is killing it with that 24mpx full frame lineup. I completely get what you’re saying because I’m in the same era with my X-Pro3. No stabe, 26mpx, but perfect in every way because I totally and completely feel at ease using it. It has two card slots so if I forget one..I still have one in the camera. (not often but 3-4 times it saved my bacon lol) and, like you, I have OIS in several lenses. I just assumed at the price point of the X-T50 it would be weather tight…bummer. The thing with the weather seal for me is dust. I still have to swab my sensor but not nearly as often as I did with my X-T20. And, if the lens ain’t sealed you got nothing lol. Right now I have a full spectrum of Fuji’s. The X20 at 12mpx, X-Pro3 at 26 mpx, and the GFX 50S II at 51 mpx. Each body doubles lol. Not that it matters really but they were all three made in Japan and none of them are great at video lol. (X-pro3 is best at video but I seldom use it for that) I use each one evenly and have no plans on changing anytime soon regardless of what Fuji’s latest greatest is. Because of the GFX I have no interest in the 40mp sensor and definitely no interest in upgrading lenses to work with it. My newest video camera purchases (yes, I HAVE to do video lol) OSMO Pocket 3 and Insta360 X4 were made possible by finally trading in some gear I never ever use anymore. Both cameras are working well for me so far and they both have small(ish) file sizes and decent quality. The main thing is I do all editing on a M1 IPad. I am not interested in a desktop, laptop, or whatever to edit my files and I’m hoping to stretch a couple more years from the iPad. Big video files from a jacked up phones or GoPro are miserable to edit with. The Insta360 can have huge files but they never touch down in the iPad before whittling it down a ton. I’m still able to pull out 4K on UA-cam that comes out pretty good most times. 4K does WONDERS for photos on UA-cam. I’m always surprised when a photography channel uploads in 1080 video…because their photos take a big hit in broadcast quality. Massive hit lol. So, all that video mambo jumbo just to share some photos on UA-cam…and maybe make someone’s day a little better or at least get them exited about photography!

it’s a good program and I’m glad they replace what’s taken. Communication is key or being on the same page would help.

it’s a brilliant little camera! Perfect for a street carry 👍

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Albums…yes of course! The biggest bummer of CD’s was the lack of album artwork. I spent many hours holding and looking at album artwork. I’m certain I bought a few records BECAUSE of the cool looking album artwork. Funny thing, I don’t shoot 3:2 on any camera I own. X20 = 4:3, X-Pro3 = 16:9, and GFX = 4:3. I sometimes use a plastic Holga lens that I always set to square. I have certainly regularly used 3:2 in the past but when I started youtubing the 3:2 didn’t frame up in the video the way I wanted and I wasn’t interested in adding a frame to show photos on video lol. 3:2 was a standard for me for lots of years but I don’t miss it at this point. It’s all strokes for folks and isn’t it great we have options? 😁. I really appreciate your comments and am flattered you take the time to write out well thought out comments on my page! I always enjoy your feedback! Thank you 🙏
