I owned a lot of cameras and allmost all Fuji models. The X-Pro 2 is my favourite. Plus one minor thing for some, but a big one for me: The X-Pro 2 probably has the sexiest shutter sound of any camera ever made.
I have exact set up. The 35mm 1.4 is my standard carry around. I could use a zip lock bag if I wanted to shoot in the rain, except the front of lens would get exposed. Just awesome images.
4:42 Really intriguing! "A tool that's an extension of my mind?" Last time a had this feeling was when I used a Leicaflex SL for the first time. And that happened several decades ago. Maybe I should consider taking a closer look at this X-Pro 2.
Yes! This is my favorite camera too, for same reasons you mentioned. I just got the Voigtlander 18mm f2.8 for it and it's somehow become even more perfect.
Do you still recommend this camera for a beginner who would mostly use it for still photos during travel? Or is there a better option within this price range? TIA
Awesome camera but mine was a money pit: hybrid EVF had to be repaired twice, the sensor twice, the shutter once lol I spend three times the price of that camera in repairs overall in the span of 4 years of ownership :)
The future is not some simulation modes in side. The future is Luts Where Fucci delivers the camera with stimulation modes as LUTS. Well, you can tweak and add some of your own. Sony a seven C2 Would be the camera to beat in a similar price range I see yes if unchanged looks the ex pro four will have the looks, but it still does not have full frames so the Sony with its fantastic focus system, and full frame sensor
@@shutter000please let me know if it's worth it because I found a new one in box. And I can't get a 100vi. The fixed lense is not my jam. Is this still as you feel? I have a pro working R5 so I want a jpeg killer
@@Bowiehair This takes amazing JPEGs! It’s definitely not as sharp and crisp as the X100VI and it’s more of a filmic look than a super sharp one but I love it
@@shutter000 so I'm still confused!! Hahah get more looks w lens changes I assume m but it's the same cost. I won't be blowing up the images beyond 30 inches , if ever.
the x-pro 3 is absolutely a better camera, especially if you're doing video or need crazy fast autofocus, but if you just want it to take super nice film-like photos, the x-pro 2 is amazing, and i really recommend the 35mm 1.4 to go with it!
This camera made me relearn photography. I like the way it spits out the basic colors… much more than the so called Leica Look …. which feels sterile to me. Also the over sharpness of the Leica Lenses. WoW Analog Photography, even with a Leica, never was over-sharp. Ok, yes colors need to be graded here and there, specially when I compensate heavy like Haas. But I guess every System has flaws. If I were Fuji I would simplify the digital menu, and I would get rid of some illogical flaws. I would use the same color science bit with 60 MPX resolution. I would add a digital Zoom like Leica or Panasonic did it. I will never give up my x-pro2
@@photobobo I’ve definitely looked into it and I’m sure it’s a great camera, but I think it loses some of the simplicity that I like about the 2! It adds more complex auto-focus, flip out screen, a whole bunch of more modern features, plus it’s a LOT more expensive… For me, I like using the X-Pro to turn off my brain and not worry about those things, so I think it’s more suited for me
Nice video, but sorry to report the superb 35mm f1.4 is not a weather sealed lens
Was about to write the same!
Damn, I almost ordered one
@@FrancoisDresslernot a deal breaker. The WR just keeps out splashes and some dust it’s very overrated.
Indeed, but mine even took a shower of beer, and it's ok. There is a new version of this lens that is weather sealed.
Seeing the 35 1.4 with that much water is scaring the shit out of me!!
Hahaha I’ve gotta admit - I’ve taken it through way worse

loved the video! just be careful as your lens is NOT weather resistant yet. The F2 version is.
this is truly AMAZING.
flawless work every time
colour, cinematography, music, everything. Absolute Perfection!

@@jpadicecoffee9812 It’s so beautiful! The colours are so filmic and soft

Oooh I definitely need to look into the Voigtlanders, they seem like beautiful lenses! Although for what I do the 35mm 1.4 is perfect

Hands down the best camera and most enjoyable camera I've ever owned.
Nice video! May I ask what camera did you used for this video?
The editing 🤌 the shots 🤌
Help! I found one in box unused. W a 23mm and i was going to get the 100vi and i dont love that fixed lense. The price is the same. Anyone?

Beautifully made 🤍

Man that was amazing! Great work too!

We love our movie making king!!
Great review. What film simulation was used for the croissant 1:44 ? Love the tones in that image.
@@dannycph Thank you so much! It was I believe Classic Chrome but adjusted to look a bit more like Portra (warmer tones, bit of added colour)
YESS JOSH
CRISP
so cool!
lil feature by you
Cool!
This is so clean omg great video keep it up!!
Thank you so much!!
I am driven into putting almost 1.5K on a xpro3 or saving money and taking a 600 euros xpro2. What do you think ? the xtrans4 is a real upgrade ?
the x-pro 3 is absolutely a better camera, especially if you're doing video or need crazy fast autofocus, but if you just want it to take super nice film-like photos, the x-pro 2 is amazing, and i really recommend the 35mm 1.4 to go with it!
Fuji rules
Fire video 🔥

So what happened to camera after this video? No water damage?
@@marktesch3072 Hahaha no it was totally fine! I’ve taken it out in way worse conditions than that
Does the thumb grip by jjc fit perfectly?
@@AmanOberoiX Yup as far as I can tell! It’s super comfortable and doesn’t seem to cover up any buttons or dials
Can confirm
thi was painful to watch.. rip that beautiful 35mm f1.4... 3:38
Does that mean that the X-Pro3 is even more great?

Great video of my favorite camera. But I stopped watching after 3mins due to the vocal fry overload.
@@jaspervos4345 Working on better vocals and vocal processing for my newer videos!
seems like you just wanted an excuse to use the phrase "vocal fry" where there is none; very pretentious.
@@malthus101 there definitely is...
@@malthus101 Seems like you need to look up the definition of vocal fry and watch the video again. It may not bother you, but it's there in spades.
@@c0ldc0ne Wrong
this is such an incredible video!!
