Don’t get me wrong. I love my Fuji gear especially the X100V; a camera that goes basically everywhere with me.

I've decided to stop procrastinating and just make a UA-cam channel dedicated to what I love: photography, filmmaking, and camera stuff.

How do you only have 6k subscribers, this is top class content
i just got the sony a6700 and Im in love with it it shoots amazing still and video but with my lenses I cant see myself going out and shooting with it all day, I've been looking for a fuji to serve as my personal street camera but the prices are so high rn
"my x100v" was ricoh gr3 street. i loved that camera but how i use and live my life...x100v made more sense. its my go to daily life/hiking rainy days/backcountry/travel it made more sense. less sensitive body for what my interest entails. so i got it the real x100v. and i love it. btw amazing story telling!!!
Wild part, when I first was getting my fuji xt4 silver during covid.... the a74 was just coming out and at the time around the same price but I liked the way fuji looked, and the DCI was good for me as I want to do more films and the colors out the camera are amazing
Watching this video in 2024 because I just love my X100V but boy, you are an amazing artist. Your storytelling is captivating and very well done. Thanks for your work and for sharing. Best wishes from Germany.
I love my XT4 !! Hybrid shooter here !!
2min 30sec intro nice 🙂👍
this video is a piece of art
very cool man
Beautiful shots! Your stills are great man! Your b roll is awesome too. Ok so this part following this sentence is copy pasted because I am trying to promote something, but honestly great job! I have subscribed in hopes of living vicariously through you as you shoot your leica because I'll probably never be able to own one. BTW, please don't be upset if you scroll upon my video making fun of leica owners. It was all a joke for internet attention. I don't want to get cancelled by the film community before I get a reel following.
I only shoot jpegs, and I have 30 cameras. As long as you shoot jpegs you have 30 different kinds of images to look at. When you shoot raw you get to the same result every time and you forget that the people that created the jpegs are smarter than you. I am a photographer,, not a photoshopper.
awesome video. I shoot sony and have 2x a7iv's. I moved from sony APSC to full frame about 5 years ago when starting to do professional work. I had the sony a6000, then sony a6500. the change to full frame for profressional use makes sense for me and the images look more professional.In saying that, I recently just purchased the fuji x100vi to have that light small camera fell where i can take it anywhere and do need to worry about editing the RAWs. to have a camera that didnt feel like work all the time
I woke up a bit lazy, watched your post… and now, I feel motivated 😂
Thanks, Christopher...you convinced me...I'm now buying the XT4
I switched to Sony in 2020 and it hasn’t really inspired me to shoot. I recently have been shooting film on a Canon AE-1 and have fallen in love with it. It’s so much better than shooting on the A7IV. I like that Fuji has the dials like old analog cameras. They seem way more fun to shoot with than Sony.
I don't think your reasons were silly at all. I used to have xt4 which I switched to eos r and now have debated for the past few months to switch back to Fuji. Mayde trying xpro3? The reason I originally switched to eos r was 1. Fuji RAW incompatible issues with adobe 2. Eos r is full frame. But now I have missed and craved the FEELING and the EXPERIENCE of the Fuji. The total Fuji (so to speak) ecosystem of shooting is just more inspiring to me. I enjoy that the jpegs looks amazing and need just a little retouch if anything. Also I haven't even needed to shoot RAW that much. Fuji jpg's are so dense that they hold well when edited as long as it's not anything hard core. I also prefer make the lighting etc. decisions in advance. I don't particularly enjoy the endless opportunities when you can almost lit the photo afterwards with modern RAW files. I enjoy it when you NEED to make the decisions before hand and I also truly believe it makes you actually a better photographer. My debate with canon/fuji is still on the way, so will see what happens xD
Beautiful videos of your dog 😊
Here impatiently waiting for my Fuji x100VI to come I can’t wait.
Does Fuji make its own sensor's?
The one thing to consider when purchasing a Fuji camera that I was not fully aware of before hand. Is if you do any RAW post work, be ready to use Capture One over Lightroom. Lightroom just recently put out a update to help with Fuji Raw in Lightroom, but it requires you to turn on the extra feature for ever photo which takes around 4 to 5 second per photo. Capture One will make Fuji Raw's look so much better. And Fuji just killed off the Free version of Capture One so you will have to pay for Capture One moving forward. But if your just wanting out of the camera jpg's then Fuji is really good for then you should be good to go. So you may have to adjust how you intend on do post with Fuji if you use Lightroom. It's just one more step in post that I was not fully aware of till I actually started using a Fuji camera. And had I know it before hand, I may have planned differently.
Great summary for a video. Absolutely 5 stars. Thank you ☺️
Appreciate you! 🙏
If You're Gonna Film In 4K You Should Shave Your PATCHY "BEARD" And Stop KeyFraming Camera ZOOMs Onto Your Face🤮🤢 Motion Sickness And Discusting, Don't Mix🤡
Hi, i have a question. I've been dead set on buying the xs20 for a long time. It's new, has all the features that xt-4 has and more. Which one among the two would you like to buy if had the chance? (I'm going to buy my first-ever camera and photography is ofc the main thing but i want to learn some filmmaking on personal level in future two, that's i was planning to go with fuji18-55 instead of sigma 18-50 as 18-55 has OIS, so ibis plus ois will help i me better i guess) please please please, it's very important.
Same reasoning here but I'm getting the OG X-T3 probably cant push it to its limits
Nice! Nothing wrong with the XT3. Still such a great camera for its price and features.
Damn, I clicked on a camera video, didn't expect to be watching a movie and being brought to tears. Hats off to you.
I went on a trip for a friends wedding. One day before we left from the hotel, I stood there for a second. My friend says let’s go, what’s up? I said I’m debating if I wanna carry my camera all day today. He says, can’t you just use your phone? I said 😐 yeah, you right. And left the bulky camera behind lol 🤦🏻
UA-cam how it should be done…. Brilliant. 👏👏
High praise! Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed this😊 The noble phone photography is definitely overlooked. I recently started using my iPhone and Lightroom mobile to create photos. Thanks for sharing ❤
I love your work. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more.
What are your thoughts on the Fuji XS20? I am torn between the x-t4 and the xs20. My main use is video. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Exactly the same man. Xs20 is new and has all the features that xt4 has. Super confused which should be better.
Great Video Christopher! I don’t have the x100v, I’m an X-E4 shooter. But I still watched and enjoyed this entire video!
Yes you can take videos and photos with phone, but I haven’t the joy like have in my hands a good camera. So this discussion is good for people that haven’t passion for videography or photography. Sure, the best camera is that you have with you to capture the moment. For that reason there are compact camera like Fuji, Ricoh or similar
Great to see you're back. I hope you're doing well. Burnout can be tough dude. f you need a break, take a break!
Thanks so much, man. I definitely took a good long one!
Oh gawd I missed those luscious locks of hair 😍
Doubt I'd be upgrading. 40mpx takes this camera 'away' from the reason I wanted one in the first place. People are being fooled by 'higher' specs.
Man, I agree. I’m cool with the better autofocus algorithms and newer batters. Kinda eh about IBIS. No desire for 40mp, though. If I want high res, I’ll out my A7R5.
Good to see you back. The one accessory I could not forego is the thumb grip. I also take a small Instax printer with me for travelling. The app is much better now, not perfect but much better. I shall probably preorder the next version but my trusty, now 3 year old V, is going nowhere.
The instax printer is a good call! I’ve always thought about using one of those. I have a feeling I’ll be picking up the new camera as soon as it’s available for preorder. I’ll be selling my V, which is a very bittersweet feeling.
Great imagery and vibes here, man! Great to see a new vid from you!!! I would order that lens hood and thumb grip right now if I wasn't waiting (and saving) to preorder the VI. 😂 I upgraded my F for the V for the weathersealing and thought I'd stick with it forever, buuuuut the rumored new specs are sounding good!
I’m hoping I can reuse some of this stuff, but I won’t hold my breath haha. Can’t wait to see this thing!
lets go!!! Chris is back!!!!!!!!!!!!

App has definitely gotten better. It still has quirks like random crashes, but I've done some remote shooting with it successfully. I've got a Clever Supply Co strap on my birthday wishlist right now 😬 Not so interested in the X100 series, but I'd stick my hand out if I got one for free for sure 😂 One accessory I love is having a half case--I got one for my X-S10, and immediately got one once I finally got an X-T4. It's got a great look, and it also lets me feel like I set my camera down without worrying about scratching it or bumping it. Also, honorable mention goes to black tape on black cameras to black out branding--keep the people guessing what camera you got to start a conversation 😅 Nice to see you back in the Tube!
I do love those half cases! I have one on one of my 35mm cameras. Honorable mention to gaff tape 😂😂😂 Thanks man!
40 MP with IBIS and a price increase of what we know so far about the VI… I really don’t need one but I might preorder 😂
Yup, that’s what I’m seeing too. And it’s 100% a day one preorder for me too 😂
Nice to see you back Ray, cheers.
Thanks, Clarhett!
Modern lenses don’t need lenses hoods, hate them never use them. The app still stinks. Love the camera but since 2016 I’ve been able to download raw and video on my Olympus cameras. Come on Fuji get with the last decade! Highly recommend shoot film co for straps. They look like leather but made of rubber. And I like the brass hardware.
That’s a shame you have a poor experience with the app. It simply works for me with no issues.
@@Christopher_Ray I mean it’s fine for JPEG, but by now raw and video should be standard
Hey man, I just watched your video and I was also going between Sony and Fujifilm and it seems like i am now convinced on Fuji. I was wondering your thoughts about Fuji XT5. I mostly do street videography instead of photography and used to get my all job done with an iPhone but now I need to switch to a camera so would you recommend the XT5 for me?
Any reason you “need” to switch to a traditional camera over your phone? I think the XT5 is great, but many would argue it’s a photography-first camera with its higher MP count and display design choice. I think you could get great video out of an XT4 for less money, but if you already have a newer iPhone like the 14 Pro or 15 Pro, you could film in ProRes or LOG and capture some really good video out of those as well.
wt camera are u using to video this short
Beautiful video! Loved the vibe, music and the Images!. Maine has been on my bucket list, but never could find a decent fair/pckg deal So I havent been there yet.
Good Choice, Good Choice
Instead of upgrading to a new Sony I’m trading my a6400 for an xt3 or 4 and looking for an a7iii or older to get the full frame for my Sony glass I still have
Phones are not cameras they're phone with a camera. Even my car has a camera but I don't use it or call the car a camera. I'd say if you don't print you're not a real photographer. Photograph with anything you want. But even smartphones have guitar Apps with strings and I would never call it a guitar.
As an owner of an X-T4 this video made me feel very good:)
Love the fact that Angela was Nikon
