    Personally think that this advice is for begineers only. I using apsc and i struggle in paid shooting job due to noise when shooting indoor with high iso. Fullframe will perform much better when it comes to shoot high iso.

    Aperture priority is my guilty pleasure .. I feel a little sheepish using it, but I really only care about depth of field, and focus .. The camera can handle the shutter speed, I don't mind (On my night hikes, I flip it to manual mode and wind the ISO up because 30 seconds plus is not uncommon) .. I LOVE having my camera with me, but I don't always dig it out of my bag to use it ..

    Glad you included the 14mm shots! Using my X-T5 for many things including air-shows and wild-life. 40mp give me more cropping ability for that. Also using it for car-shows and the extra detail from the 40mp shows. An all-rounder.

    Not true. A better camera makes everything way easier hell you can just leave it on auto and get some amazing photography out of a Sony A73. It takes way more skill to make good photos with a bad camera.

    • @davin2002
      @davin2002 22 години тому

      I agree, save up and try out the best gear possible, rent it for a few days ; cause eventually you are ending up buying it anyhow, going from body to body and lens to lens. That 10-20 year journey is same as spending the high end gear up front, and holds also more value on the market for re-sale or trade-in. Also a tip, when you have good glass, people tend to see it, and you have to do nothing for that in post.

    I’m don’t totally agree, less I more, but it’s depends what you want to achieve has photographer. I like for example to take pictures of urban structures, not building, but structures, and it’s most of the times complex lines and can be full of people or not but still complex and full frame. But I agree that photography should be simple in the sense of not focus on equipment and all that things, but focus more on art and emotion you want to share or record forever in your pictures. Sorry I’m complex even in my comments 😅

    Good review and interesting point about camera phones. I have lots of pro gear but increasingly found myself just using a phone on walkabout (less weight) - then found I quite liked the wide angle shots I was taking. So without much info on the full frame equivalent I did a test with a full frame camera with zoom and my phone - turns out the phone is exactly 28mm equivalent. Hence my hunt for an 18mm X mount lens for my XT20. I think I might go for the 18mm / f2

    I have been shooting RAW, but with film simulations overlayed. I recently figured out that this was causing me to get improper exposure and white balance, but it was only apparent once importing into Capture One. I couldn't figure out why I kept blowing out my highlights until I learned that my highlights were only correct in camera as interpreted by that particular film recipe. TL;DR The RAW file data is not accurately represented in camera when using film recipes that drastically alter the photo's appearance. This can cause users to take pictures with technical issues such as bad exposure, without knowing it.

    I worked for 10 years shooting for a weekly newspaper, taking the photos, developing film, and then printing the photos in a wet darkroom. I always cropped, in fact the 8x10 paper was too small to fit all information on it. The Nikon school said, the name of the game is to fill the frame. Each photo had to tell a story.

    Nearly all statements regarding the “benefits” of film are BS in my opinion. Digital has many more benefits, when your goal is to take photos. When your goal is “the process” then film is better. However photography is about the end product, not about taking mediocre photos and glorifying them just because they were shot on film.

  • @PhillipRPeck
    @PhillipRPeck 9 днів тому

    As a video camera, the X-T5 is probably worse overall than the X-T4 because it has the 42mp sensor and a small, compact body--it only shoots in a 6.2K crop of the sensor in HQ mode and a pixel binned or line skipped 4K.

    Good Video, I have shot over 100,000 photos with my X-T5 and I can not think of a better camera for me. I absolutely Love it. From Family photos to Concerts, To sports, To Portraits To Landscapes..... It is as versatile as my photography is broad. Although I would really like if we could keep this on the DL (down Low) As If everyone realizes how great this is....... It is going to be harder to get than a X100. I plan on shooting the shutter off this thing and want to be able to pick up another body when the wheels fall off of this one. LOL

    I had the X100v and I traded it in when I got my X-T5. Love it lots! I have been using it with the 18mm f/1.4 and the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8. Yes I like it wide! Really this was my motivation for trading in my X100v but I do miss the smaller form-factor. Still the X-T5 is solid, works very well, and has become one of my favorite cameras.

  • @matthieuzglurg6015
    @matthieuzglurg6015 10 днів тому

    The X-T4 always gave me weird feelings... it feels like it doesn't belong with other X-T cameras... I suspect that the base for the camera was originally the X-H2, but as the X-H1 flopped heavily, they changed the design and renamed it the X-T4. Think about it : X-Trans III having X-T2 / X-H1 X-Trans IV having X-T3 / X-H2 (which would have been the name of the X-T4) X-Trans V having X-T4 (which would have been the name of the X-T5) / X-H3 (which would have been the name of the X-H2) That would have given a proper lineup for both the X-H and X-T cameras, correctly segmented the X-T as photography centric and X-H video centric versions of the same camera (kind of) and would have reduced the number of confused people : the X-T4 took pretty strong steps towards video (flippy screen, larger battery, IBIS) vs the X-T3, and everybody though the X-T line would be the Fuji flagship, that would also be a full hybrid. Then when the X-H2 dropped, a lot of people held off for the X-T5 and were then disspointed when they saw that it was going back to the photo centric body design of the X-T3, complaining that they now have to get a more expensive X-H instead. Properly separating the lines would have been a really nice thing for Fujifilm, that would have avoided a lot of frustration and confusion. Also when it comes to the video spoecs of the X-T5 : basically, it uses a higher resolution, slower reading out sensor than the X-T4. So you have access to 6.2K video (8K is reserved for the X-H2), which takes the same exact sensor area in 4K as it does in 6K, so you get a little crop if you want high detail 4K or 6K video. I think you can do less detailed 4K that is line skipped instead of oversampled, but takes the whole sensor, but don't quote me on that. In the 4K HQ and 6K modes, the rolling shutter is pretty heavy. Works fine for static shots, but you will notice the warping the moment there is a little bit of camera movement. Overall the sensor in the X-T4 is a much better match for video work. Unsurprisingly, that's the sensor that Fujifilm used in the video focused X-S20, which feels like the true successor to the X-T4 when it comes to video specs. The X-T5 is very much a photography camera with some decent video specs, but nowhere near the video workhorse that the X-T4 was and that people were expecting to get. This has sadly been replaced by the much more expensive X-H2S (or the X-S20, but that's a cheaper, smaller body, not really the same kind of rugged camera sa the X-T4 was)

    It’s great to be reminded about 1% improvement a day, and “treat things like mini projects”. Those ideas speak to me. Another tip I don’t think you mentioned: don’t beat yourself up if you fail at making small iterative improvements all the time. Sometimes, you get tired and and lazy and yah. It happens. When the laziness phase is over, just start up again. Beyond the hard work, I do think there’s some sort of calling that we get from our inner self that pushes us to do stuff and make a mark in the world (doesn’t necessarily have to be a “creative art”).

  • @jamestonbellajo

    Have you seen the X-T100’s screen? It’s basically the X-T4 and X100V(I)’s screen combined. Can’t technically do it all, like vertical orientation, but it can do the most. I wish Fuji would implement it again.

  • @watching-youtube-now
    @watching-youtube-now 10 днів тому

    I'm not a skilled photographer but to me the lack of an articulating screen can make or break the camera. Recently I've been feeling like getting to try Ricoh GR3 but since I mostly shoot from a low angle (or rather, I typically go "eye level" with the object or slightly lower, which for low objects like plants can be literally millimeters off from the ground level) and with a wide lens, I can't imagine framing my shots with that sort of camera.

  • @desoriordan9515
    @desoriordan9515 10 днів тому

    The larger file size from the XT5 is a negative for me, 26MP is plenty but Fuji obviously thinks more MP is what sells. I honestly cannot see any major differences in image quality between the XT5 and XT3, but that's just me. I like the size and weight of the XT5 and think its possibly the best value for money Fujifilm camera available today.

    • @iamnicoalfonso

    I've had my X-T5 since soon after it's release and on one "real" photo centric vacation. Workds pretty good, but to be honest, the autofocus is the weakest point. Some unexplainable misses. Otherwise it's a perfect camera for me!

    • @desoriordan9515
      @desoriordan9515 10 днів тому

    • @jaygreer7430
      @jaygreer7430 8 днів тому

      ⁠@@desoriordan9515I agree. I’ve had the camera for a while now and made thousands of shots, including lots of action shots. I’ve come to the same conclusion. I don’t use any of the subject tracking modes on moving subjects. I think they’re somewhat flawed. Even just basic continuous focus mode without subject tracking is flawed especially for subjects that are coming quickly towards the camera. In burst mode, I’ll end up with lots of out of focus shots especially as the subjects get close. Single focus mode with a single focus point works pretty well, and I’m generally able to get what I want. I love the Fuji system, but their autofocus system is a well known issue. I wish they’d dedicate more resources towards fixing it. If I were a professional event or sports photographer, where autofocus speed and accuracy are critical, I wouldn’t use Fuji.
