- Nothing like looking at cameras and NOT taking photos! Am I right??? Ahhh?
Just kidding. But this video is deep rooted in greed, G.A.S, and bling, bling-ness.

Don't spoil it in the comments. :) love you.
What was the New York skyline panorama shot in terms of focal length? I'm travelling to NY this year and would like to be prepared in terms of lenses I need to take/purchase before. Thanks!
@@green_beats 18-55mm
but, but, but ! Enjoy your new camera.
6:13 That's what she said
You ARE worthy. Thanks Omar!
Fujifilm really knows how to make asthetically pleasing cameras.
This camera has a function where it will show zoomed in frame lines if you use a longer focal length. Hold the EVF/OVF toggle and it will switch the frame lines.
I will always regret not buying one when they went on clearance. I agree that it was the peak for the line. Great video!
You are great comedian Omar!!! Love your humor so much! Im not at all "Fuji fan boy" but really enjoy your content every time. Have a nice day, all best.
Hey Omar! You can‘t even imagine how happy you made me with this video (and your purchase) 🤩 I‘ve bought the same camera including the 23mm month ago in used condition and I LOVE it. It perfectly add to my beloved X-T20 and my X-T2.
Thanks so much for keeping on making fujifilm magic content! You was, be and will be one of my most favourite photographers here on UA-cam!!! 📷📷📷📷
Again with spoilers in the comments. The director made his intent clear in his comments. This is an auteur piece, please respect the director’s wishes.
@@JimboSkinner sorry for that. I was too excited. Thanks for your comment, I have just adjust my words above 🙇♂️
Dude, your videos just crack me up. Great content and a big smile on my face. Keep up the good work!
I changed from Cannon to Fuji 18-months ago, purely based on the looks. I never even contemplated another brand, so I am with you....
Hi Omar. You can make the viewfinder exposure needle bigger through the menu by changing Set Up -> Screen Set Up -> Large Indicators Mode (EVF/OVF) to ON
Stoked for you mate! This one appealed to me from day one. My grail camera from Fuji would be a X70mkii though with the same optics but the XT3 sensor and a little water resistance. I NEED that pocketable APS-C goodness.
That's something I really want as well, not a fan of the Ricoh GR, would love if Fuji made an alternative
Got one myself. The most beautiful camera around today. And it shoots. I got it with the matching lens when it was discounted $800+. Deal of the century.
If you hold in the EVF/OVF switch to the right while looking through the OVF it will zoom in making it easier for longer lenses. This feature has been removed from the X-Pro 3.
I truly appreciate the cheeky humor. Thank you for that ✊🏻
Just like you, I loooooove my X-E2 more than any of my other fuji and non-fuji bodies. Something about it’s images are still inexplicably better than newer bodies.
Also, ordering my X-pro3 tomorrow, so great timing on this video. Cheers! 📷📷📸
Terrible timing bc the xpro 3 just got discontinued and the new one will release soon lol
Welcome to the club 😀. There were nights i was dreaming of this camera. Then i knew i had to get it. 🎉
Can I just say I like watching your stuff as its just good vids plus I love the humor and the down-to-earth of your presentations! cheers!
It's built like a tank. The best camera for me period.
Thanks for not spoiling!! :)
CONGRATULATIONS Omar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like you found a very clean copy! Looks good in the graphite. This was a great Video. Your editing is just superb! Juss sharin’. Take care 👍✌🤝📷
Yes! I just ordered a used one yesterday, can’t wait for it to come in!
Perfect choice! Got mine back in 2017 and it’s still kicking today!!
Love my XPro-3 but you’re right, I still end up using XT line more. Great to see you and have fun with that bad boy 📷
I got mine ( same colour ) for less than £500 3 yrs ago. Love the way it feels in the hand and I always feel safe with it - as I could use it as a weapon if need be! It also ages well , nice brass patina appears on the edges that rub.
Love the editing and humour on this channel :)
Loved it!! Happy for you Omar!!
Great video Omar. Enjoy the camera! All the best.
Love you Omar! Your videos are so much fun :) Thanks!
Love your videos! Just bought a XT5. Loving it
You make the most pleasing and enjoyable videos on UA-cam... Period
I have a X-Pro3 myself and I love it so much. Fuji does make beautiful cameras.
Ive had my [you know what] since the year it came out, LOVE it to death. There is one thing I have just discovered recently in regards to the OVF; well most of us know that by sweeping the from toggle lever to the left (towards the lens) you get the mini LCD in the lower left hand corner in both MF and AF, and by pressing in the back dial (don't rede,ber if that is a default operation) you can zoom in to the focus area in that picture-in-picture screen in the OVF setting, with peaking or without, your choice... However, I just discovered that in OVF view if you hold that toggle lever to the right (away from the lens) for three seconds, you get a OVF magnifier element drop in to bring those frame lines to fill the OVF and vice versa.
You're welcome :)
Congrats Omar! The most beautiful color of that camera.
No way! I just ordered the EXACT same camera from mpb. It arrived a couple days ago and was their last one.
I chose it over the 3 for a number of reasons and really think I made the right choice. It’s absolutely fantastic so far. It’s the perfect compliment to my big full frame canon I use for most professional work.
I might actually be in love with a camera.
We are twins!!
I get excited when I see that you uploaded a video, please keep it up siiir
Haha love the reveal, a true classic! ❤
So happy for you Omar 😎
Great and gorgeous camera indeed 🤩
And why not shooting with style 😉
It is all about pleasure too (and collectible too 🤔😁)
Loved your video and comments about it 👌
Enjoy and happy shooting with it.
That camera is such a beauty, Omar!
I remember it clearly in my head when I was visiting Kyoto, I saw a mother who had a black X-Pro2 with a pancake lens taking some photos of her daughter in a Kimono. At that time I was not even familiar with the Fujifilm camera & lens ecosystem. But since that day I really wanted to own one. Fast forward to now, I own the small X-T20 and have made pretty good use of it. Still happy with the IQ and UX of it to date.
I’ve had the X-Pro2 Graphite & matching 23mm f2 lens for almost 6 years now! It’s a keeper for sure - enjoy yours. 👍🏻
The hybrid viewfinder is a blessing in many cases…such as Sports Photography 🤗
I saw one a week ago, I am still considering it. With graphite 23mm. Although I am torn between xpro2 and xe4.
Congrats on the new accessory :D stay sharp!
Edit:
Got the x-pro2
Why didn't I get this sooner?
Hi Omar. I have been watching your videos on the Fujifilm X-T20 with the 27mm f/2.8 for a while now and it has become my holy grail Thanks to you📷😍
The ending was amazing 🤩 u rock bro.
That graphite is gorgeous GORGEOUS
Way to go Omar. She’s a beauty.
Great video. So well made. You should have a million subscribers!
Agree :)
oooooh!!!! I'm so excited!!! And jelly too :) I want!
Just a gorgeous piece. Wow! I’ve owned all of the XE series and the XE3 is still my favorite, XE4 isn’t as much fun nor as easy to shoot with. Love the Pro but as gorgeous as it is it’s too big for a daily carry. Congratulations on your find!
You just made a video of my dream camera! Totally agreed!
Glad to see this video! I was lucky to get a graphite edition a few years back. I won’t trade it for the work! Oh, if you hold the ovf/evf lever to the left for a few seconds, something magical happens!
I just picked up a X-E3 from MPB. Traded two no longer used Sony lenses for it. Overall was a great experience. Trade in prices were very fair and the X-E3 condition was far better than expected. Definitely a better experience than my previous trade ins with B&H and KEH where they didn't honor their initial quotes without me hassling them. Enjoy your new Pro body!
Good for you, Omar! I had an opportunity to purchase a new-in-box graphite X-Pro2 with matching 23/f2 at the same time I was deciding whether to sell my black X-Pro2 and buy and X-Pro3. I ultimately went with a dura silver X-Pro3 but I still sigh every time I see a graphite X-Pro2. So, so pretty...
Man, I wish I could get just cameras for the look of them. And yeah, even though I don’t or haven’t shot with rangefinders I always looked into & wanted the exact same model to get the shooting experience & obviously for the 🔥🔥 looks
Love, love, love the sound effects Thor! ;) I have the XPro3 in Dura Black. I have to admit your camera color looks better IMHO. BTW I added a Gariz camera case to get a little more real estate to hold on to.
I've just bitten the bullet and ordered Fuji's grip for my XP3....
Recently also got one “like new” condition, gorgeous camera ❤
Such a fun video. Thank you Omar, for not taking yourself too seriously. P.S. Was that a guest appearance from the "Canon Cripple Hammer" at the end?;)
Amaaaazing Omar!
I too am waiting in hope for a graphite X-T5, or better yet, X-T50!
Great show Omar, once again …
Gorgeous. I actually thought in this direction when it was clear it was a used one and on the list should my X-T1 ever crap out on me.
love the "photography is about _ not _" disclaimer. we love ya omar.
Wasn’t interested the camera until I saw that it turns into a sledgehammer at the touch of a button..... Neat!
Woow i’m realy want this camera 🎉
Good job bro omar
I was about to buy that specific model on MPB too !!! So you're the one who bought it !!!
Love you Omar!
Congratulations on your new camera! Usually don't comment but took nearly the same exact shot / angle etc shot of the Ambrose ship in south street seaport on a film camera
jajajaja me tenías al vilo Omar !!! Justo andaba viendo una camarita en MPB , pero no es la que tu compraste, es de medio formato! Un abrazo desde Uruguay!!! Que la disfrutes!!!!!
Love my XPro 1-3 bodies! Looking forward to the XPro4. Tip: get a vented lens hood works well when using the OVF view…BBF: First you'll have to put the camera in M (Manual) mode via the front selector switch. Then, you'll have to go to "Instant AF" and select how you want your camera to AF when pressing the "AF-L" button. You can choose between single and continuous focusing. At this point you'll be able to use BBF.
I have a Graphite X-T1 in mint, unused condition. Like you, Omar, I haven’t used mine much, relying instead on my X-E2/pancake street combo & X-T2. Not only is the Graphite version nifty looking, but the finish is tougher than the silver or black.
IT´S A REAL BEAUTIFUL CAM! Have fun with it!
I knew this was a xpro body before you pulled it out. This is def their holy grail line!
I’ve been researching this camera for a bit now and when this video was recommended to me…my first thought was “these ads are getting way too personal” since have the same name, spelling and all! Great video tocayo!
Oh that's even more gorgeous than mine! Congrats!
How do you feel about the two zoom viewfinder which goes to 16 vs the xpro3 viewfinder?
that little b-roll hit me on diffrent levels ! :D
The X-pro 2 is my favourite camera I have ever owned. Wonderful, tactile camera with a fantastic sensor delivering some lovely images.
Upgraded to a x-pro 3 last year after my Xpro 2 became a little slow and general wear and tear started to show its age a little bit and I still not quite at one with it.
Even though principally they are the same camera I still feel like I haven’t got used to it or formed a connection with it. The Xpro 2 felt like an extension of my body. Guess i only had the Xpro 3 a year and perhaps haven’t been away with it and spent time just shooting for days straight to get underneath it and get a proper feel for it but yeah the 3 so far doesn’t quite match the heights of the two.
Perhaps I don’t agree with some of the design decisions - perhaps it’ too analogue for me (screen being flipped) or it’s just needing the time to spend time with it - I don’t know l! But I highly recommend the Xpro 2. Fantastic camera that is just a joy to use.
Love the little DPReview shout out.
@Omar, I always enjoy your vlogs, informative and relaxing. I just got hold of a set of Super mint Graphite XPRO2 body kit with Graphite XF23mm F2 CW matching colour lens hood. Shutter count 52.... just like you, this will be a collector's set. I have a Black XPRO2 for my daily use. I agree, it's the holy grail of Fujifilm canera. Once again Kudos 👏
YASSSSSSS Agree 100%. Have XP2 & want the Graphite version so badly.
Very cool video and effects !
Same here Omar. When I decided I wanted an X-pro2. I knew it had to be the graphite edition. I found one used last year for $800 and I snatched it as fast as I could. I love my Graphite X-Pro2 very sexy camera.
Omar, you are teasing us like a devil ! Congrats for that gorgeous camera !
Awesome find!
It looks dope with the 27mm pancake ☑️
That's one gorgeous camera!
You forget the XT30 graphite ! Its a nice camera once you reassign the quick menu button ... dont give up on the XT30 Omar !
Presto! Man appears in suit! Love it !! 🙂
Hey Omar, love your channel sir!
XPro2, nice pick up! 👌🏾 Have you tried any of the GFX cameras? Just curious.
Got mine nearly a year ago, black version, love it
Love Love Your Videos 🚀🚀.. Glad you mentioned MPB is doing better they have cameras that I want but I was afraid to try due to the experience you had 😬💥.. Xt20 or EX-2 here I come 🚀🚀
Omar, you are a GOOF BALL!!!😂😂😂Love your videos.
I guessed X-Pro3 because I thought you were going for that hidden screen vibe and the ability to display the film sim. That graphite edition would look great with an adapted vintage lens. Stick a nifty fifty on there and walk around with a press badge! Love your special effects today Omar! BTW, NYC Auto Show is under way. Not sure which day, but I'm looking forward to my ferry ride from Port Imperial! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Easter holiday!
What I like about you is your sense of humor😅😅
Majestic! I just bought the black one, like-new. It goes into production. Sigh.😊
Nice. This camera is on my wish list.
Same dream camera for me! Well in terms of something I can (barely) afford that is. What was that again about not being able to back button focus though? That's news to me and might be a deal breaker :(
I have an xpro 3 and not really sure how I feel about it. There’s times I enjoy using it and there’s times that underneath all of the beauty of the body, I feel like I’m left unimpressed. Can’t explain why or what it is, just left a bit underwhelmed. With that said, the xp2 graphite looks gorgeous!
Hands will automatically pick such cool camera...pure aesthetics+quality
I love the X-Pro2 so much, I bought it twice! LOL! I added a Wephoto hand grip/quick release plate which is excellent on the X-Pro2. It is one of my most favorite camera bodies ever! I do have to disagree with you about lenses though. I use all my primes and zooms on it. It handles them all effortlessly!
Hi Omar, where did you buy your desk pad?
Nothing wrong with appreciating the esthetics of our gear. Carry on!
Just got this a week ago and it's gorgeous. Shame there aren't more lenses with paint match
It is beautiful!!
Oh no Omar, you just made my own dream come true. I have been looking for it for a long time. I will still have to wait at MPB. Especially since, after this video, the price will skyrocket. But I'm very happy for you, because it could be me. Take care of him. See you next time for a video follow-up of this jewelry.
