Omar is the Jim Carrey of photography! LOL
Smokingggggg
Frederico Parreira yes He is 😅
Tooooootally agree!!! They must be relative!
Aaaaaaalrighty then.
Ha haha, so true!!
This is what it means to have a "great" personality. Omar you got the right stuff baby.
Omar, if you want to zoom in to check focus on the non touch screen Fuji's, you can just press the rear command dial once and it will do a max zoom in on the focus point (at least on XT2). Even quicker and more reliable than double tapping a touchscreen in my opinion.
I got the X-T2, and I learned from experience that the X-T30 is more than enough camera for me. I’m too casual to be spending $1k+ on a body. I don’t even need extra batteries most 99.9% of the time.
I love that Fujifilm don’t cripple their consumer bodies so I can blow all the rest of my money on lenses.
Well said...You listening Canon?!? Crippling!!!
Agree, but with my XT3 I end up using always more than a battery
Same here. I have a xt2 shoot mostly kid pics. Was thinking of getting the xt30 for the afc for better tracking those quick kids... just leave it in af-c all the time.. I've got extra batteries
I love that Fujifilm don’t cripple their consumer bodies so I can blow all the rest of my money on lenses. #amen
@@Penta_Penguin_237 I bought some cheap 3rd party batteries, came in a two-pack with a charger as well. They hold a charge about as well as the Fuji batteries. I would say they are 90-95% the same for a fraction of the price. I just carry them as spares.
It was my first Fuji and I'm glad that I started with this because Im now in love with Fuji!
Pretty sure it doesn't matter which camera you have, as long as it's Fuji you're gonna fall in love with it
As a creator, I really loved this review. Dont ever stop being goofy. I gained 160,000 subs in a year between 2 channels and people ask how....I say "I was being myself" your awesome.
The way you mix your comments with the videos and photos is phenomenal.
Oh man, I love your videos. They're not only informative and inspiring but hillarious. Thank you!
I'm binging these vids like Netflix. I learn while laughing. 😂❤
Omar, I love your videos! Super informative to the real camera user not just tech and specs, love it! I just picked up a used X-T2 for $749 and it was definitely the right call. GAS can take over the best of us sometimes.
after saying I'd never sell my X-T20, and I wouldn't buy an X-T3, I.............. sold my X-T20 (and the X-T2) and bought the X-T3 after all. The video specs were what sold it to me in the end.
Haha...for video, it's a beast.
understandeable, I don't shoot video enough to warrant selling my X-T20. So i will be fine for now. I won't get the X-T30 ever because of the stupid decission to delete the D-pad.
I will get a X-T3 at some point. Probably when the X-T4 or 5 comes out (you know japanese sometimes skip the 4.)
I thought I'd miss the D-pad on my GFX50R - and I did at first. Now though I don't miss it at all. I set the touch screen swipes to mimic the D-pad's actions and after a while getting used to them all is now fine :-)@@1barnet1
@@duringthemeanwhilst I'm thinking of upgrading from my X-T20 to the X-T3. Helps that it's on sale for $999. Used X-T2s run $600-700. Might as well get the 3, no?
@@stevenpaulday4825 at that price it's a no-brainer
What about taking still images..does anyone do that anymore?
I hate video ..
Flip screen are mostly beneficial for videographers but as a photographer I would much prefer the tilt screen.
There are plenty of boring camera reviewers. If you want that go ahead. Dude you're so entertaining, and that's the point. Being able to review seriously and passionately while being entertaining. And not being ashamed of being goofy. Something that takes lot of courage for lot of us. You rock 👍
From the xt1, which I had, it's a massive leap, I use my xt1 now with manual lens and xt3 with my Fuji lens. Great vid as usual
Can't hold it back any longer.
Omar, you are one of the funniest and most sympathetic persons I've ever seen.
Love your work and looking forward to each and every video you put up here.
Your content is very helpful and presented in your unique way, which is entertaining big time.
Thanks and keep it going.
Back to topic, I'm about to buy my first top cam.
So far I shot with a Lumix FZ18 Bridge Cam and now I'm using a Sony Nex-5.
I'm still learning to shoot completely manual and the Nex-5 is a good start.
I'm not quite sure if I should go for the X-T30 or the X-T3.
It's a 600 € difference (Greetings from Germany) but the XT-3 does have a lot of additional features.
WR, Tethering/Live View (just bought Capture One 12 Pro for Fuji for 125€), 4K 60, better EVF, Battery Grip available, 3.5 Mic/Audio Jack, Dual Card Slot.....etc.
Do you think all the advantages of the X-T3 are worth the extra money?
I know it's always individual but maybe you have an opinion based on your own experiences with the different systems.
By the way I'm a hybrid shooter.
Thanks a lot and have a great day.
Thank you TONS for the kind words. After reading the forth line, I thought there would be a huge "BUT" and they you were going to hate on me. Lol. Appreciate it. Honestly can't give a definitive answer as I haven't played with the XT30 yet. However, coming from that Lumix, I think the XT30 might be too small and wimpy for your hybrid style of shooting. The 4k 60 is a sweet bonus as well as the EVF!! However, if we're talking budgets and money...the smaller series cameras have the same sensor and processors...so there's that. Good luck!
@@ogonzilla
Wow. That's been fast.
Appreciate it.
I know that the X-T30 isn't available yet and so it's not possible to compare it so far.
Didn't think that it'd be so hard too choose a cam.
Forgot to mention that I'm thinking about getting a used X-H1 as well, cause of the IBIS.
Or wouldn't you recommend this one compared to the other two?
Oh boy..... I'm sooo...... arghhhhhh.
Well..... X-H1 vs. X-T3 vs. X-T30
..... can't go wrong with each of them I think.
Thanks again for getting back to me and all the best for you and your family.
Gunnar Becker I’d get the XT3 if I’m not in a budget. XT30 if you want to spend less or you don’t need 4K 30p and dual card slots.
First of all thank you for all your info.
Yesterday I found an offer for the X-H1 I couldn't resist.
Body incl. XF 18-55mm for 1474 $.
I'd pay the same price for the X-T30 with the 18-55 and for the X-T3 plus the Lens even 2147 $.
Of course all brand new.
In comparison and since I'm new to this kind of cameras/photography it's the best bang for the buck for me.
If I'd getting that far making money with it I'd upgrade my gear anytime.
... and I'm not complaining about saving some money and still getting one of the best cameras out there, specially after the latest FW Update.
The additional features of the X-T3 ain't that important to me and I prefer the IBIS to be honest.
Hopefully my order gets approved and I get the X-H1 asap.
Have a great day everyone.
Happy shooting.
2016: Surely they'll soon make the perfect X-T for me
2019: any moment now
2021: Buys X-T1.
Thanks again Omar for a funny and informative video. I like that you offer "real" opinions and not a lot of specs and junk that makes my eyes glaze over....I am wanting to get into a mirrorless ecosystem and your videos have helped me decide it will be Fuji. Now I just have to come up with a great excuse to spend money on lenses (I do have a birthday coming up, so that's excuse number 1). Love your videos, also Moe and O- good stuff!
I’d love to see you do a similar comparison between the X-T20 and the X-T30 please.
I love how goofy you are, it makes me watch the video until the very end.
I had a great time watching the whole vid. Keeps my attention every single time. Love your personality and the honest review/feels about xt3. Best regards.
Fuji I LOVE your flip SCREEN concept! They have in my opinion the best flip screen arrangement on the marked. Makes high/low photo a breeze compared to the Panny/Oly/Canon idea where you have to flip it all the way out before rotating etc which makes you miss the moment. 100% cudos to Fuji here. This vlogging-thingy is just for a few users compared to the large amount of photographers out there.
You are so animated!!!! 🤗🤗😁😁 that's the reason I keep coming back for more reviews.. then I end up buying more stuff 😅😅
Sorry you had to say goodbye-so long-farewell to your X-T3. All your points are valid, esp. about this being tooo much camera for a lot of people. (I shoot professional sports, so it's a dream boat for me) It's one of the best hybrid (photo/video machines) out there for the price. On your comment around the 8:40 mark about the rear command dial--on my first copy, it was sticking sooo bad that I finally gave up on it, sent it back to B&H for a replacement, and got a copy that rotates smoother than the first. Whenever I would attempt to rotate the rear command dial on my original body I would have to put so much force into turning it that I ended up pressing in the dial 90% of the time. Not good. Got my new body yesterday and going to go out and shoot something.
Omar you need to do a comparison of the XT30 and XT3. I'm considering one as a compliment to my Nikon FF and it's a difficult choice for sure!
@S Tra it's not only about budget, it's about value, size, what exactly do you compromise one when being used in the real world, not necessarily on specs. How much lighter and smaller is one versus the other compared to a normal FF set up to travel with. Omar shoots three different types of kit, so he can talk a lot about real world comparison for a pro or prosumers
The more neutral screen on the back was what convinced me that it is worth the upgrade from X-T2. I just hate the warmer colors that you see on the LCD of the X-T2.
Honest and indeed very funny guy.
Wait..so we "don't" have the buy new cameras when manufacturers say we need too? Jeez..next thing you'll be saying is Facebook is a waste of time.
I bought an XT1 a month ago. It’s awesome.
You need to upgrade! The second a new model is announced your camera becomes totally useless, didn’t you know that 😱😂
Station (
Fujifilm X-T3 Rocks 😍 Next firmware update is coming in April 👍
Wonder what he's gonna use now that proper camera is gone ? Something from walkman maker i guess ?
Resume:
Fuji X-T3 is no so different than X-T2 in terms of PHOTOGRAPHY, that´s the principal reason of the goodbye.
Fuji X-T3 is very good for VIDEO PEOPLE.
That´s it!
I like Fuji X-T3 as well. I will buy it
Good point. Minor changes for photography. Certainly more video upgrades. Overall a great camera. I just went back to Fuji after being with Sony (A7III) for a little while.
@@mjstowe1 Could you please tell me the reason to switch from a7iii back to Fuji? Thank you.
@@navyrasrisansuk5327 Hi. The Sony is a very nice camera and very capable. I do not like to do a ton of post processing and to me, Fuji just has a lot better out of camera JPG ability than Sony. I find Sony's colors to be somewhat generic for lack of a better word. The only thing I will miss is the on board stabilization. My tests with the X-T3 auto focus in video have been comparable to the Sony. I actually prefer the X-T3 in low light vs the Sony. I know the Sony is technically more capable of cleaner low light photos, but the X-T3 noise has a nicer look to it if that makes sense. There are some minor things that Fuji put in place as well, but I will not get into that. Also...I always thought FF was a must have for me, but I do not feel that way any more. Also...Fuji firmware updates, that include new items, are second to none
@@mjstowe1 Hi there. Can you elaborate on the colors between Sony & Fuji. I'm planning to switch to mirrorless, been eyeing the A7iii or XT3. Came from Canon and in my experience canon files are easy to edit, less editing time to make it look beautiful from raw compare to Nikon. Are Sony's file really difficult or take some time to edit same as Nikon granting Nikon also uses Sony sensors ??
@@dezaremos5944 Hi. Sony images are fine. They are easy to edit in my experience. I was simply referring to the fact that Fuji has the Fuji film modes available in their camera for stills and video. Basically they replicate the different (popular) Fuji Film looks. I am a black and white fan and Fuji Acros is just awesome IMHO. From there you can manipulate the look even more to match your personal preference with several options. For me, this just means I can get the look I am going for right out of the camera without the need for much post. For many, Sony probably does the same. I just prefer the out of camera look of the X-T3 jpgs over those of Sony.
I found an x-t3 in box with the 18-55 kit lens for about 400 bucks cheaper than anywhere used online, and I drove 20 minutes to pick it up. I'm sure the X-T2 is great lens but I leapfrogged straight to the 3 and I'm so glad I did.
How have you found it so far
I'm very fortunate at the moment(have a decent job) and this is my first camera.....so, I splurged and went with the Fuji XT3. All I can say is that after playing with this thing for one month I am in love! I love the dials, the touchscreen, and just how fun in general it is to mess around with this camera. Now if I could only compose a shot!
Fujifilm will always have a special space in my heart. I moved from Fuji xt20 to Sony a7rii, and I have no complains but somehow always miss the experience of fuji.
Brylle Burcelango I’ve been thinking about doing that as well, have you noticed a major difference in quality of photos or low light?
I appreciate your humor as much as your review :)
Dude you're natural entertainer!
"Never Can Say Goodbye & Reach Out I’ll Be There"
My favorite new mode on the xt3 was the pre shot mode. I’ve gotten great bird shots, nearly eliminating the need to have to predict their random take offs at times.
This is late to the party but one major reason to upgrade from the X-T2 to X-T3 is the focus system. I use Canon lenses with the Fringer EF-XF PRO 2 and I get much better results on the X-T3.
Anyone else find it funny that he asks for a flip out screen here, and then when they add it on the X-T4 he complains about it and says he doesn't like it as much?
I love your positivity and cheerful approach too!
Yeah totally agree with you. I traded in 1 of my X-T2s but got a great deal that the X-T3 only cost me £400 so had to do it. But I don't really notice any difference for what I do. Kind of leave my X-T3 attached to the 100-400 and use X-T2 for everything else.
I LOVE that the xt3 has weather sealing, never thought I’d want or need that but has been allowing me to get shots I otherwise would have avoided (ie: standing in the middle of a creek on a waterfall). Agree it might be overkill for some, but I think I’ll have this body for years, might never part with it so the extra few bucks over xt2 was worth it to me. Great video, love your tech reviews you always bring a real world human element to everything👍👍👍
Nice review. Just to clarify for anyone who skips to the end, he says it’s a big upgrade for video guys but not as much for photography guys. Mostly true for portrait and studio work or landscapes etc... but for sports photography it’s a huge upgrade.
Also the other big upgrade for photographers is the eye af for candid shots at weddings. My personal belief is every wedding photographer with Fuji should get a xt3 and xh1 immediately. Xh1 for low light and xt3 for candids and faster paced events.
The look at the last second is magic
Also, this makes me feel better that I bought an x-t2 last week.
OMG I love your video's!!! Thanks for being funny and informative and an amazing editor :D
Looking for a bit of advice here: used XT-3 and X-H1 are now in the same price range. X-H1 looks bulky, but has IS... (currently shoot a X-t20 and I am looking for a better / more comfortable EV). Thanks
The difference in dynamic range and focus is huge, i don't know how u can not find this an amazing update as a stills shooter. I own both, and i don't seem to like the x-t2 that much anymore, especially for stills. I use it to record vlogs now. Might replace it by the x-t30 soon..
Two things. First, the accessory door or the X-T3 is easily removed (as you showed,) allowing excellent access to the USB-C, headphone, and HMDI outlet. I find this really useful and eliminates some of the worries of having the permanently attached door. Second, in both the X-T2 and X-T3 the new focus bracketing feature is incredible! I agree that the video features of the X-T3 are much better than anything before. I have and use both cameras a lot. But if I had to pick only one, it would easily be the X-T3!
I just switched from being a Canon Fanboy to Fuji X-T3. I'm officially in love. I am video person mostly and am IN LOVE. But you are right about determining if you are mostly video/Photo person. My GF is only photo and has an X-T1 and she saw no reason to upgrade (although she is now in love with my X-T3 and will be getting one lol). All in all, the X-T3 will be my camera for a LONG time. thanks for the all the info!
With version 3.0 firmware coming in April the AF and eye tracking has been stated to be upwards of 300% faster.
YES! Excited that the XT30 gets it first!! :) . LOL...Just sent you an email. Thanks!
@@ogonzilla Yeah, I know!!!! I wish I could have it now! I really need it for my next up and coming shoot. I am getting incredibly lazy. :-)
Wow! Really? I thought the 2.10 upgrade with the expanded video file sizes was great!
I am firmly in the Fujifilm camp and have been for a few years, but I have had serious camera envy for the Sony A7III and its AF/ face/ eye detection. The firmware upgrade on the XT-3 should keep me onside hopefully.
You are always great Omar. You make a camera review fun to watch. Much happier Fujifilm reviews than what comes from Gollum of Kentucky. :)
Awesome video as always... I never changed my fuji x-t10 because it satisfied my needs as a traveler.. But things happen
1)Battery door spring broke.. So changing the battery or swapping memory will be a hassle
2) survived two rain storms in malaysia.. Third one killed it.. I was looking forward for the x-t30 to be weather sealed but nope
So had to choose between xt2 or xt3
For video i have my trusty point and shoot panasonic camera
But need photos especially I have invested in a fuji system
Sooooo yay I got the x-t2 and never looked back been using for 2 weeks now i cant wait for the next travel assignment
Great video brother hope to hear your thoughts on new lenses.. Please zooms 😁
From looking at the dpreview comparison the xt2 is acually a bit better in low light, so just for photography the xt2 is probably the better choice..
Only at high ISO
@@SpeedyNeo yeah ofcourse, it would be stupid if the xt3 had bad low iso preformance 😅
Brilliant video Omar! You are the antithesis of “The angry photographer” Ken is very informative as well but you cheer me up and clear my mind.
How is the XT3 AF compared to the X-H1 with both having latest firmware?
I bought the XT2 years ago not knowing it was fujifilm’s flag ship camera at the time. It is still too much camera to this day! I can’t imagine upgrading.
Tiddl3 i am in the same boat as you. No need to upgrade because the XT2 is much of a camera than I am a photographer.
Love your videos! Along with all the great information I just can't stop laughing at some of the things you say and do. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos.
finally somebody speaks my language, I also was dissapointment about this camera, there are not enough changes compared to xt2 to be exited about it.
I didn't find it disappointing or a let down, but yup...A flipout screen would've done it. lol...
My brand new x-t3 arrived today:).
Bird photographer:))) running chicken:)
Should i get XT30 for 2nd body? I have X-T1 with 18-55mm and 35mm
X-T30 is a "bit" better than X-T1! :D X-T1 will be the '2nd! (BTW, I have X-T1 and like it, but true what is true!)
Omar- you may be forgetting that the XT-2 was a whole different camera when it was released. It only became awesome after firmware updates. So, this is the worst the XT-3 will ever be. More processing power is gonna provide a lot of leeway for improvements.
Question: Now that the X-T2 is like $800 new, what do you think you'd do? Also: kinda sorta really like that photo at 2:39. Quite cool.
I actually just sold the xe3 and bought the xt2 , almost half the price of the xt3
@@cesarm6131 Yeah, I'm considering that, too. It's such a steal right now...
your videos are very informative but also very entertaining
Really enjoying your videos. Informative, accessible. I know delivery is all personal preference, but I appreciate that you get to the topics without explaining over and over again which topics you'll be discussing. In a lot of videos I feel like I need to jump straight to minute 4 (exaggeration) to get to the content.
You are the best Omar 🤜📸🤛
I'm torn between these two but want something that captures wildlife for the most part. I don't care about the touchscreen or 4K video (1080p is enough). What would you suggest?
Thanks, Omar. Interesting discussion on the X-T3, especially contrasting to the wonderful X-T2. I would love to see you do a similar comparison of the X-T2 and the X-H1. As someone of a certain age (let's just say, older than you ... by quite a bit), the IBIS is a big interest to me. OTOH, I l-o-v-e my X-T2 ... Thanks for reading.
Thank you, thank you...finally, validation of my decision to stick with my XT-2...well, at least for now.
I do primarily video work, and I wish I could afford this camera, but instead bought a6400+16-50 kit
Bought the XT2 (as a beginning photographer) with a significant cashack when the XT3 was just released and it seems I made the right choice. Video features are nice and all, but I barely use it. I'm mainly shooting stills and I don't think the added price for the XT3 is justified for a few features that are barely improved (such as autofocus).
In Jan I had a choice....... @ the time I had an xt10 wiv a 16-55 f2.8! Fuji dropped the price of XH1 wiv grip a lot. Cheaper than XT3. So I did half way house....... XH1 wiv grip and very very happy. Still have XT10! Luuuuuuuv it still!😊
I purchased my xt2 instead xt3 because I consider one is for photos and the other is for video, I want make photos, both are great but xt2 is more than enough.
Lol dude you crack me up hard. My kinda humor. Not even interested in the xt3....cuz of xt4...but I stay for the laughs
I love your videos man. You know photography, you’re a Fuji Guy, AND you’re a freaking nut case. I wish you were my neighbor for when I’m bummed out I can walk next door and get a good dose of goofy from you bud😂👍👌🤗 Keep making videos, I’ll keep watching and smiling as you make my mornings brighter.
I find I automatically check out anything you're talking about because of how silly and entertaining you are, Omar!
You've missed your calling, get onto the big screen!
And, I see your sweet little girl is becoming a chip off the ole block.. Must be fun around your place on weekends!..
Now, what camera were you just talking about?!! 😂 💕
Duuuuudddde NOOOOO! Omar send that bad boy to me!!!! i NEED to change from my TANK DSLR hahahaha
I'm a fan !!!
You always make me laugh, even when you say real things !!!
And you're damn right... X-T2 is still a beast for photography... But I personally will upgrade soon to the X-T3 and also to the X-H1 for having my XF 16-55 f/2.8 and some other primes stabilized ;-)
Omar- love your channel! I’m new to photography and keep going back and forth between XT2 or XT3- I don’t know that I need the best of best for where I s starting, but the price on xt2 now is very appealing. I’m coming from a Pentax K1000- a bit old, but it’s fun to have around!
Subscribed after seeing the thumbnail, I'm not gonna regret this, absolutely loved it i got a plastered grin thought the video
A butcher a baker & better then a candlestick maker, a pizza place & a restaurant, & if u wanna see the future a psychic, a family can live there whole life on that 1 block, looks like the Bronx, a bit of how it was...no Shop-Rite, etc 👏🏻
I’m currently shooting with a Xe2 and was thinking about upgrading to a T3 but I’m also considering a Sony a7iii. I’m torn.
Stiffer rear dial is big for video:
Scenario
Manual shutter mode 1/60s, X-T2
I had even put an electrical tape on top, and still ...
had managed to accidentally change my shutter during a live event.
X-T2 has bugs in video which were removed in X-T3 and X-H1.
Also, I would not buy a used X-T2 from a videographer, because the device overheats after 40min of recording (especially in 4k) ... which is not good for the camera or the battery.
Omar, Omar...I love your videos, man, but IMHO, you may have glossed over the most important upgrade in the X-T3...the image sensor and processor!! As a 100% stills shooter (landscape and product), I most definitely did notice an improvement in image quality over my prior X-Pro2, especially in terms of absolute sharpness and detail rendition. Now, unlike most folks, I create large poster prints (up to about 30"x40"), and at those magnifications, I absolutely do notice an improvement in overall image quality over the previous generation of sensor and processor. Also, don't forget the awesome new vertical grip!
Been looking at a lot of Fuji cameras recently and was considering the XT3 or XT30 but the price on a second hand XT2 has me leaning way more towards that as I primarily shoot photos not video :)
Love the Benny Hill music, and I had a really good giggle as you mashed both cameras into your face to demonstrate the eye cup upgrade. On a serious note, I wonder what I'm doing that others aren't, but I took my XT-3 to Rome and Moscow, and only had to charge the battery once over the course of 5 days.
Wow...that's some cool voodoo! That's great. I shoot hybrid photo/video at a location. So it's constantly working.
@@ogonzilla Ah. I shoot stills all day long, but never video.
Ahhhh, maybe you should take more photos?
I am still torn between the X-H1 and the X-T3. Had the chance to play a bit with both and felt that the X-T3 is a bit too small for my liking and is only great in the hand with the grip attached. All this praise for the X-T3 does not make it easier! haha
Someone just commented on another video how much they love the grip and IBIS on their XH1. Good to have choices...bad that you can't have it all. :)
Theres no doubt the XH series feels better in the hands. I'm waiting for the XH-2 which should be out within a year or two.
oxymoron We’re in the same boat. I’ve recently decided to get the X-H1 instead.
Chima Chinda Interesting. What’s your experience so far? The X-T3 is 1499 and the X-H1 1299 currently there I live. If I have to get the grip for the X-T3 to make it better in the hand, then I’m at around 1599. However, in this case I could take the grip off if I ever wanted the Kit to be a bit smaller, which would not be possible with the X-H1. Also, I read online that the X-H1 is not as inspiring as the X-T3 and lacks the “Fuji spirit” to some extent.
as always , great content with a flair for the hilarious. Got the XT3 w/grip in September and have sold 2 Canons and looking to sell an 80D! No videos , only stills and the best out of camera pictures I've ever had. Looking forward to the firmware update. Shooting motorcycle racing soon so will need it
Very interesting ... because I am about to upgrade from xt20.... havent decided to which model it should be... thank you very much for the review... very usefull 👍😄
I want to buy a new fujifilm.
i cant choose, what you think ->
Fujifilm XT-2 XF 18-55 1399 - 300€ Cashback and free battery grip.
Fujifilm XT-30 with XC for 999 €
Or another version? At the moment i have a Panasonic g7.
A chicken chasing someone is what passes for bird photography now 😂
That's the kind of review I enjoy! User experience... it's good to know how the camera "feels"...
Fuji needs to sort out smallish battery and flip screen before those impressive video specs can be put in use. At the moment, GH5 or a73 better for video work, as you said, xt2 better value for photography. Furthermore, Fuji whole lineup is retro style design echoing film era camera, not really what a videographer is looking for.
That's the video I've been looking for! I don't currently shoot video and wondered if an X-T2 would suffice - thanks again...
Well, the AF is a lot faster than on the X-T2!! Especially in low light the X-T3 locks waaaaaay faster than the predecessor! So the upgrade from the X-T2 is more than welcome doesn't matter which type photography you're in. I agree that the improved AF System isn't needed for landscape photography. But if you shoot anything else I would highly recommend just to try it out before you decide not to upgrade because you think it´s has not improved from the older camera.
Conclusion:
Pro --> way better AF (especially Eye AF), significantly sharper EVF, body is more sturdy,
Neg --> screen not rotateable which is bad, battery life still not the best
So... cheaper than the predecessor and better, what else need to say?
You can rest your eyes on there!
Me crying with glasses
Cool Omar, very informative - XT2 just dropped a bomb in price as sellers clear last of inventory - Just in time as the rubber grips and cover just peeled off my X-T1 after years of rough handling. As a predominately stills shooter, it looks good for my new purchase of the 2.
🙋🏻♀️you're funny! Considering this for my 1st mirrorless for still photography. Those dials...Is the learning curve huge? And lenses...oh my, what to get? Does fuji have some sort of designation for the better lenses?
Yes agreed. I feel like they primarily made the improvements more for video shooters. And I believe because of this makes it a highly, if not, the most highly capable hybrid camera on the market. Especially at that price point. Btw, have you at all had a chance to check out the 7artisans 35mm 1.2 yet? I would LOVE to hear your take on it more than any others. It's almost the same size as the pancake 27mm but it has that awesome 50mm focal length and some really sexy bokeh to boot lol. I just picked it up and so far I love it. An amazing way to get into some super versatile bokehlicious glass for very cheap. Thanks always for all of your amazing fuji videos. Always so helpful and always puts a smile on my face and has me laughing out loud!
Oh ya I also REALLY cant wait for you to get your hands on that xt30! I am pretty confident that they made that camera just for me ;)
You are very funny!!! Love watching your videos! Greetings from Qatar!
