I think the point he's making is. Making a good film isn't about 4k or other techical stuff. You can shoot 1080p 120 just fine on older Fuji cameras. @@drchtct
@@BurningBroadcast yes and no. Of course you can make a great film at 1080p, but these 6k shots are on a different level. The difference in sharpness is insane. We’re not talking subtle differences between some bitrates here.
I think every camera that you will use, will produce comparable quality to this one, this is not about camera here, but about skills, vision, composition. Thank you for this work.
This was a great review even before Samuel even said anything. Super showcase for the camera, the lens, but in particular for Samuel himself. Gorgeous photos, videos, and family ❤
Turismo de Portugal should pay your holidays in Portugal… Besides the brilliant presentation of the XS20, you capture wonderful images from a lesser known part of my country. Thank you and congratulations!
Such a great video Samuel, and a pleasure to watch. Your scenes of Portugal were stunning and I noticed I didn't get distracted or wanting to speed the video up. It held my attention. Thank you for making and sharing. Your work and style inspires me. Hope I can buy an X-S20 soon. Happy travels!
it is!! Near this village (Marvão) there is a stunning road, almost no traffic. On that road I took photos of vultures, deer, foxes ( all from the car)...at night you can take great pictures of the night sky.
I have never gone back to re-watch someone's travel video until now. The colors on these shots are amazing. The quiet is noted. I am a Sony shooter and will be chasing this look the hard way. Maybe Cobalt image can get into LUTs. Keep up the great work!
Started watching your channel over the past month. Playing catch up. Love your channel. Learning a lot. I retired to Japan (Kamakura) from Chicago (Chicago Pole). Today I bought my first Fuji camera X-S10 at Mapcamera. Almost got the X-H1 but when i got more money than expected,I moved to XS10. Interesting, my first wife of 25 years(passed away) her father was from Kagoshima and mother from Hamburg. My wife had a rather unique growing up. Since, I’ve remarried a woman from Nagano (met in Chicago)and now retired to Kamakura. I worked in Semiconductor and RF Wireless for Japanese for 40 years. Your character really comes out in your work. Keep ‘em coming. Do you schedule meet ups when in Japan? Would enjoy listening to your experiences in photography and what influences your work?
I rarely comment on videos - but the first two and a half minutes are really perfect. Excellent sense of composition. This can be seen with one out of a thousand UA-camrs. The photo with the child and the cat and the children in general reminded me a lot of Sergio Larrain's work.
Amazing, delicious video clips, music and photos without too much talking. Relaxing like a cozy movie. Thank you. I like how on 7:30 minute background music on piano harmoniously merged with street music on video and then back again.
Hi Samuel, I'm following from a long time and I have to say, I love the intro video, the color, the way you capture the still moment, the music and mixing photography, I was blown away, bravo bravo ! Wish you the best.
Hope you enjoyed your stay here, it definitely seems like you've had a blast! I've had a chance to give the X-S20 a try and quite liked it as it's similar to my X-T4. Well done!
Came for the camera and lens review, fell in love and inspired by the longest cinematic intro ever. Amazing vibe and makes me want to make the same!! ❤
This is how every camera focused video should start, you just broke the code. I'm getting this camera now, and subbing to this channel ❤ I need to go back to Lisbon, those shots of pastel de nata got me drooling 😍
absolutely mega. I own the x-s10, now it's clear: I'm upgrading! Most of all I was wondering about the good sound. At first I thought it was the Sennheiser on the mk 400, it wasn't until I read it a second time that I realized it was the 440 and I have to say there is an incredible difference. This stero really blows your mind.
I've been watching and reading a few others' reviews on XS20 until I found your review and for me its the ultimate factor of my decision to get one, someday.
Looks great. I recommended the X-S20 for my brother who just got it. Was a pleasure to shoot with. I’m inbetween this an the X-H2S atm for my own hybrid.
Very impressive video. Loved the introduction and as others have said, you skipped all the specifications and just demonstrated to us what this camera (and your creativity) can do.
Lovely work! My X-S20 arrives in a few days. I can't wait! I'm also going to order the SmallRig cage. I have one for my gripped H1 so all the rails and accessories will work. We hope to get to Portugal soon. My third great-grandfather was kidnapped when he was a young teenager and when his family didn't raise the ransom, he was sold to a merchant ship. After several years, he escaped when they were docked in Richmond Virginia.
Loved the intro, best thing I've watched on UA-cam in a long time, very evocative, makes me want to be in Portugal again. I'm so undecided , I want to buy the X-S20 but the EVF is putting me off, I'm definitely leaning toward the X-T5 as I love photography, not so much videography. Anyway great video as always !!!
I want a small camera, something like Fuji XS20, Sony A6700 or the next possible Nikon Z50 II. Mostly for photography, some basic 4k or even 1080p video at 8bit (no grading afterwards). People in forums trash the Fuji autofocus and that could be a concern in some scenarios.
I love these real world "reviews" of cameras, gives a better insight in how it really performs, I wish you had tested the AF but at least everything else works really well.
This video feels like it was specifically made for me. I lived and studied in Lisbon the past 2 years and looking back I wish I had a camera to capture all of these amazing moments. I did some photos and videos with my smartphone, but let's be honest, it's not the same. And I feel like you often look like a stalker with a smartphone while a camera gives you a legitimate filmmaker look. So yesterday I bought the Fujifilm X-S20 with the Sigma 18-50 and can't wait to be back in Portugal soon, and take some high-quality videos and images, even though it won't be the same without all colleagues from uni. Anyway, for the next adventure I'm prepared, and your channel has helped me to both decide on Fuji and on the Sigma lens, thanks. By the way, 3:2 open gate looks amazing on my 16:10 laptop, finally a video that (almost) fills the entire frame.
This intro...come on. You make me wanna spend all my money on your exact gear. 😂 ...like my X-T3 and X-T4 haven't done already enough damage to my bank account. But really, this was the most breathtaking and relaxing video footage I've seen, lately. I bow before you, Sir. 🙏❤👏👏👏 Now I need to buy that Kamlan 28mm F1.4 and that diffusion filter...after already having to buy the new Fujifilm 8mm F3.2 in a few days. My bank account is in agony right now.😂💀😭
Hoping Fuji makes another x pro camera because I really prefer the body style of that and the x100. The xpro3 had some issues and is fully discontinued and expensive to buy used now, it’s almost impossible to get it at msrp even for heavily used ones.
I loved the video! Thanks for the upload Samuel! Portugal looks beautiful -- i'll definitely have to add it to my list of vacation spots! As a sony shooter, you're making me very curious about fuijifilm! hahaha cheers
Nice vibey video man, looks good. Recently bought the XS-20 too.The image quality and features is ridiculously good to me, considering the price point. Such a nice tool to have.
Great video. Would have made me buy one, but I've had one in Tokyo for a solid week now and LOVE it. New 8mm and X-S20 combo great, too. Japan is almost completely out of stock at retail on all sought after Fuji lenses and bodies, but lucked out with a random cancel at Yodabashi (best I could understand)
I bought the XS20 2 weeksa go although I just bought the XS10 6 months ago, but with the new 6k open gate and 10 bit capability at this price point just couldnt resist, was initial going to buy XH2S but I didn't need all the high end stuff which is offered more than enough in this camera. I will be testing out the 6K open gate shoot soon. I love the full documentary of this video using the 6K open gate ratio. Thank you
Superb review and with best quality. Can you see in some video all of your gear you use? Especially those rods and handles on your desk you showed on when reviewing XH1?
So much better than reviews with a bunch of specs thrown at you from a studio. Well done!
Thanks!
Agreed! Really like this video format. Have watched it 4 times by now.
@@YOUAREMYKIN wow thanks! :)
Two things can co-exist tho, they serve different purposes
Absolutely
This sold me more on the XS20 than any review I watched for it. These shots are amazing!
You can achieve amazing high quality shots with almost any cam in the X-series. It’s really down to the user experience with them at this point.
@@aquaticlibrary4k60 (and the resulting 40% slowdown) is not achievable with any other Fuji at this price point, neither is 6k open gate
😅 me too.

This is the best video test of the X-S20 I've ever seen 👍👍
I’ve been to Portugal five times. It is one my favorite places on earth. You really captured everything I love about that place.
this is insanely beautiful. we need a color grading tutorial and export settings vid!!!
So far the best video if one wants to see what the footage looks like from fujifilm xs20...
So helpful, thanks a lot 🙏
This was a great review even before Samuel even said anything. Super showcase for the camera, the lens, but in particular for Samuel himself. Gorgeous photos, videos, and family ❤

such a better "explanation" of what the camera can do than a verbal review. loved it!

Man, rural Portugal is stunning.
it is!! Near this village (Marvão) there is a stunning road, almost no traffic. On that road I took photos of vultures, deer, foxes ( all from the car)...at night you can take great pictures of the night sky.
@@osvaldomedina173 I've only visited Madeira, Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve. Looks like I'm going to have to come back.
@@Lethorio You should!!

You dont have to announce that

I love this so much. You're inspiring.

I give you advice for life, see something you do not like? Move on.
Really enjoyed this style of reportage/documentary. It gives me an intense feeling. 👍
jaw-droppingly beautiful
Seriously the best review of this awesome little camera! Can’t wait to buy it when I have some money saved up.

Beautiful travel video/memories. Thanks for sharing!
i love this long intro, its so peacefull
Very well done! A superb video. I very much enjoyed your discussion of the X-S20. A wonderful camera indeed!
Amazing, delicious video clips, music and photos without too much talking. Relaxing like a cozy movie. Thank you. I like how on 7:30 minute background music on piano harmoniously merged with street music on video and then back again.
That intro was lovely. Thank you. I have played with the XS20, its lush. My next camera.
Samuel, the way you shot this is beautiful... thank you for sharing..
Great video. Never thought I’d enjoy somebody else’s holiday pictures, but loved it.
Wow! what a wonderful video.
So glad to catch up … even fleetingly with your son … about the same age as my grandson…
Awesome. Thanks. Just what I needed. Bonus Portugal footage!
That intro was exceptional 👏👏👏
I didn't blink once during the first half of the video. Missed such captivation. Looking forward to more of it!
What a beautiful film - quite gorgeous.
Thank you for doing justice to my country.
The moment I saw the gear stick I knew it was a Toyota 40 series. Wow what a format, love it.
Hi Samuel, I'm following from a long time and I have to say, I love the intro video, the color, the way you capture the still moment, the music and mixing photography, I was blown away, bravo bravo ! Wish you the best.
Great job! Impressive video! Congratulations!
Genial.. So schön entschleunigt und inspirierend. Danke dafür 🙏
Hope you enjoyed your stay here, it definitely seems like you've had a blast! I've had a chance to give the X-S20 a try and quite liked it as it's similar to my X-T4. Well done!
I love the video more than the camera. What you did was awesome 👌 ❤
Wonderful vid/stills intro - loved every moment of it. Kudos!
That looked so good. I love the colours you got out of it. And the aspect ratio? Perfect on my iPad. Seen some others use 4:3 lately, and I like it.
It’s probably 3:2 Opengate from the xs20
Came for the camera and lens review, fell in love and inspired by the longest cinematic intro ever. Amazing vibe and makes me want to make the same!! ❤
Loved every second of it
This is how every camera focused video should start, you just broke the code. I'm getting this camera now, and subbing to this channel ❤ I need to go back to Lisbon, those shots of pastel de nata got me drooling 😍
Haha thank you!! Appreciate your comment and will keep this in mind for my future videos :)
I just came back from F1 in Monza, Italy and the x-S20 delivers! The Sigma 18-50 f2.8 made this such a tight travel package.@@SamuelStreetlife
What great shots - and artistic video. Helps prove that I think it’s way more the user than the camera!
absolutely mega. I own the x-s10, now it's clear: I'm upgrading! Most of all I was wondering about the good sound. At first I thought it was the Sennheiser on the mk 400, it wasn't until I read it a second time that I realized it was the 440 and I have to say there is an incredible difference. This stero really blows your mind.
Ahhhh, so nice to have in our little corner of Europe!
Beautiful imagery nice one buddy 👌🏼
This is so gorgeous Samuel !
I've been watching and reading a few others' reviews on XS20 until I found your review and for me its the ultimate factor of my decision to get one, someday.
Nice! Glad to hear you got something extra out of my video :)
This is absolutely beautiful
Looks great. I recommended the X-S20 for my brother who just got it. Was a pleasure to shoot with. I’m inbetween this an the X-H2S atm for my own hybrid.
I like it a lot. Mellow arty vibe at the beginning. More like your friends video. The quiet American. Some great stills as well.
Very impressive video. Loved the introduction and as others have said, you skipped all the specifications and just demonstrated to us what this camera (and your creativity) can do.

Welcome to Portugal 👍
You have to go through Porto, to see the city through the viewfinder 😊
