- Today I head out and shoot a couple of landscape photography photos with my trusty Fuji X-T2. I share my thoughts on the Fuji XT2 and discuss whether I think it is still a good camera.

I just got my xt2 and it still performs insanely well. As a portrait photographer I find that I don’t have anything I wish it could do.
Love my X-T2, especially the feel. Makes you want to go out and take photos.
Julian Taylor: that should be a sailing slogan ( Fuji makes you want to pick it up, go out and shoot)
indeed it does Julian 😃👌
Julian Taylor agree. I think it’s the best Fuji X-T series camera. I own two and never thought to upgrade to X-T3. The improvement is not material for my travel, street and portrait photography
Just bought the x-t1 last month. I can't believe how much better it perform than my Nikon D5100. I'm happy with my purchase.
Thats awesome, enjoy your photography buddy. 👍😃
Is it still a good camera?... of course it is!!
I'd love one!
I'm still on an xt1 and THAT'S still a good camera!
It sure is, thanks for watching 👍👍
Keep your eye sharpe George
Have xt1, just bought xt2 graphite. Amazing. With the X70 a nice triple. might get xt20 later on.....
Hans de Haan the graphite looks gorgeous. I was hoping to get a graphite xpro2 but couldn’t afford it in the end.
Just bought a new XT-2. LOVE this camera. Switched from full frame Nikon as well. I can't believe the colour quality of this camera and the lenses are wonderful. Cheers from 🇨🇦.
Awesome Darron, Enjoy your photography buddy 👍👍👍
Great video Ian and thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers!
Cheers buddy 👍😃
just bought a mint xt2 in japan for $400. i know zero about photography! he's right about the inspiration factor. I am currently trying to watch as many photography tutorials as i can before i go out tomorrow and start shooting, fiddling with all the knobs and turny things. Very exciting! awesome video im hyped!
Awesome, that looks like a great deal. Happy shooting 👍😃
Ian, I agree with all your points re: the XT-2. I just bought the XT-2 new for $799 (B&H). I usually wait 2 update cycles when prices are generally cut in half from MSR. It is the cost of a used 2 year old camera for a new one. Great video as usual.
Thanks Jack, That's a bargain. Didn't know you could still get them new 👍👍
'bout ye from Northern Ireland! Just wanted to say, your videos have been a BIG help to me. I just recently moved to Fuji XT2 from a Sony system, and it has been a great switch. However, I am still having teething problems with some things, new system I suppose! But your video tutorial have been a massive help, so thank you sir! Hope you come over here soon.
Great to hear, and thanks for watching, 👍👍😃
Quality video mate. Super insightful!
Thanks Matey 😃👍👍
Great Vlog Ian.
I've just bought a used in excellent condition X-T2 with the 18-55 & 55-200 lenses also added a XT-1 just so I have a spare body in my bag.
I can't wait to get out on see what the XT-2 can do.
That's awesome Martin, happy shooting 👍😃😃
Great discussion and you just saved me a load of cash . Going to keep my X-T2 and will wait for the X-T4 hopefully with IBIS.
Thanks billy, yeah it would be great if the xt4 had ibis and a better battery. I can only see them putting ibis in the xt cameras if they scrap the xh range though. 👍👍
Completely agree, I'm loving my xt2, had it just under a year, and would look at the 4 as an upgrade.
I've printed 18" prints from a 10mp camera and it's spot on. There's always a race in the camera world, from going from compact to dslr, to digital, to the greatest number of megapixels to apsc vs ff.
My phone has more mp than the camera I printed from but it wouldn't take the same size print.
Couldn't agree more Adam, enjoy your x-t2 buddy 😃👍
Thanks alot for all the info you gave on this camera😃✌️
No problem, glad it helped 👍😃😃
I'm still using my X-T2 going into 2022. I invested in new lenses instead of upgrading the body.
Great idea 👍👍
I use my XT2 more than my Nikon full frame out fit, just added a full spectrum XT1, both amazing cameras to use
That's awesome Andrew. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video mate. Liked and subscribed look forward to seeing more from you
Thanks buddy, really appreciate that 👍
Regardless of what people might say the Fuji X-T1 is still an amazing camera in 2019 and it will be so in 2020 also. So the X-T2 will have no problems delivering amazing results in the future. I own a Fuji X-T20 and an X-T1 and i can honestly say that i could use them without any kind of problems in the next years. Only reason why i might upgrade at some point is if i am being struck by GAS.
Ha Ha the dredded GAS, it gets us all at some point. I bet the xt1 is a cracking camera, enjoy shooting with it buddy. 👍👍
@@ian_worth many thanks Ian! Will sure put it to good use in the future!
I think the Colo science is better on the XT-1 than the XT-2..🙂
@@dartvader60 never really enjoyed the XT2 though i used an XT20 for years. XT1 for me is the nicest!
Ian, it's truly sad to see what the camera industry has become. Too often some photographers can be seen spending huge amounts of money to get the latest gear promising more megapixels that their clients will never notice.
indeed that is true, all the gear in the world will not make anyone a better photographer, practice is the most important thing in my eyes. Thanks for watching 👍
@@ian_worth Ian, don't forget training online or paying such as a year with KelbyOne
Still rockin the X-T1. Heck, I'm still rockin' the old Pentax K10D. It's the lens that counts.
Indeed, there's no substitute for good glass. 😃👍👍
Hey Ian, excellent video that does its rightful honor to a great camera! I brought a used X-T2 in mint condition last year, it came with the 18-55mm f2.8 - 4 lens, and as a bonus, the guy who sold it to me gave me a 56mm F 1.2 too, all for $800! The camera and the glass mentioned are just fantastic, best buy ever!
Love your videos! So inspiring and I learned a lot from you! So thanks for that!
Iam only a hobbyist but I really love photography! I use the xt2 too together with 50-140, 16 1,4 and 18-55. Its really easy to think that getting a fullframe will improve my photography but I know it won't :) but it's nice for us or me to see that a real photographer use this system and see what it can do! I really like the lenses for Fuji and I have tried a lot of them, super quality and well made but they are not cheap even second hand. But you get what you pay for. I really wish you make a review for the lenses you use the 50-140 and the 10-24. Can't wait for your next film! Best regards Johan
Thanks Johan, great to hear you are enjoying your photography and I really appreciate the positive feedback. I have a lens test video, if you have a look in the archives you might find it 😃👍👍
@@ian_worth thanks I will look into this👍
Good video thanks Ian. 40 years ago I started out my photography with a Pentax K1000 SLR. Unfortunately 2 years ago I was ill and it made me want to upgrade my photography gear !...I,m not a fan of plastic cameras or lengthy deep menu systems. After months of research out popped the Fuji XT2 !...it sure does feel like an old Pentax K1000 in the hand....which brought me straight back to how I loved that camera I started with all those years ago....just makes me smile again and you want to pick it up when you look at it....with amazing quality results
Thanks Gary, It's definitely got that old school feel, I love that, I have a collection of vintage cameras and it definitely, does not look out of place sat next to them. I hope your illness hasn't kept you from getting out and shooting mate. Enjoy your xt2 👌👍👍
Ian Worth ...Thanks Ian...I am nearly back to full recovery and just on Friday managed the miners track to Glaslyn Lake,Snowdon. Got some brill photos on the XT2 with it’s awesome lenses ! Keep up the great vlogs mate 👍👍
A very positive review for the XT2 Ian and your extensive professional use of them is proof of their quality. 24MP on my Nikon Z6 is ample and being full frame it offers incredible low light performance too. I use a D500 Nikon crop body for my action and sport shooting and although only 21MP it's superb. If I didn't have my Nikon gear I would be using Fuji that's a fact.
I bet the z6 is just as good as the xt2 buddy, at the end of the day it's where you point it that counts. keep shooting buddy 😃👍👍
Excellent video, Ian! I have the XT-2 and really love it. I am getting into doing prints now and am finding a challenge not with camera but with printing. It’s the 3:2 ratio I have a challenge with. All frames and mats are based on full frame sensor size so I always have to crop. How do you deal with and handle printing on cropped sensor? Tips? You almost have to setup the shot in camera differently to allow for that 3:2 ratio to print right. One edge is longer than standard sizes of frames. Thanks in advance for the help.
Hi, i have done a video on printing that you may find helpful, you can view it here ua-cam.com/video/e9RMaFfDPoI/v-deo.html
Hey man fantastic review good work you got yourself a new subscriber (i know nothing about photography and I’m buying an xt2 soon ) can i ask you tho which is better the xt2 or the panasonic gh4? Thank you for the reply rly appreciated keep up the good work good luck
Thanks for the sub buddy, ive never tried the gh4 but the xt2 is a great camera 👍👍
Love your pic of the silver birch!
Thanks Jim, much appreciated 😃👍
I have 2 xt2's and have just bought a xh1 for 899.00 instead of a xt3, xh1 was a bargain wirh the grip.i dont do action or sports photography so i didnt need to upgrade to the xt3 for the improved focusing on the xt3. Great video with great advice 👏
Thanks buddy, Sounds like you have a bit of a collection. Happy shooting 😃👍👍
I picked up a new (old stock) X-T2 with the 18-55 mm f/2.8 kit lens after watching your video. The X-T3 and 4 were just not within my budget at the moment. I really hope I won't regret buying an old model. But I thought it would be a good opportunity to get into the Fuji system and see if I like it. Will take delivery tomorrow. In any case, I really enjoy your videos. Subscribed.
Thats awesome, good thing is, if it doesn't suit you, you will be able to sell it on without loss i reckon. I'm sure you will enjoy it though. Thanks for subbing 👍👍😊
Excellent, no BS video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching George. 👍👍
I agree, the XT2 as with most Fujifilm cameras, are so tactile. I love mine and my GFX 50R.
Thats awesome Andrew 👍👍😃
I run an x-t1 and have an x-t2 on the way,. Like you say, Fujifilm just screams "pick me up" I love how good it feels and works in comparison to my A6300 Sony. Can't wait for my X-T2.
Awesome, I'm sure you will enjoy it buddy 👍👍
Just subbed I shoot landscapes and macro Fuji great cams love the top dial set up and lenses are great
Awesome Ray, thanks for the sub, that's much appreciated 👍😃
Great vid Ian , I got rid of all my Nikon full frame (d750) plus 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 , and you know what I am loving my photography again and still got money in the after buying second hand xt-2 from wex like new for £400 , I also purchased these on different sites all second hand xf 18-55, xf 10-24, and xf 55-200 , I have been with Nikon for over 20 years but at the moment I feel like I can’t wait to get out there with my fuji gear, and haven’t missed my Nikon gear one bit 👍
Hey Mike, glad you are enjoying your photography. You got yourself a good deal there 😃👍👍
I love my xT2 with a handgrip and three lenses 18-55mm 35mm 55-200mm but i also love my Nikon D800 wouldn't get rid of either People today can't wait to upgrade that's ok by me i can pick up some excellent gear really cheap that's how i bought them both at great price's with very low shutter counts .My grandchildren love my XT2 they could use it just like a phone they said but better quality lol keep up the video's always a great watch Merry Christmas
Cheers Doug, merry christmas to you also 😃👍
Hi thank you for putting this video up , I love it, i'm shooting with Pentax the k5 and the k3 brilliant time i have had but would like to try something new , and the fuji xt2 looks good , im a hobbyist photographer , its for fun , just so i can switch off from every day life ,and some times i get a good shot , portraits is my thing i do them so people i know can have a rather good photo without having to pay stupid money for it , not every one has money for a photo , bills come first , and my Pentax has delivered, but i think the fujix XT2 MIGHT be worth a try , so thank you again . all the best .
No worries Chris, thanks for watching. The x-t2 is a great camera for the money that's for sure 😃👍👍
Top set up I am lookingbforna second body
Awesome paul, hope you find one 👍👍
Good common sense. Not a Pro but enjoy the XT-2 simply for weight and for a totally different experience I take out the XPRO 2 when on the street. One thing Fuji does for me is bring back the fun of photography. Don't video but if I did I think I would definitely go for the XT-3. Cheers and another great video.
Thanks Alan 😃👍👍
Great video. You make so much sense. I switched from Canon and for 5 years have had an X-T2 and I love it. Could you let me know which L-bracket you use on your X-T2?
Well said. It is the photo taking experience, weight and the real mb size one needs. Also went from nikon full frame to an xt2. Just got it 2 days ago. Took it for a walk photo and took some 9 frame braket shots of interior this morning. I still need to process them into singles. Loving it. Thanks for the clip. Take care God bless.
Thank you 👍👍
Well I'm a beginner and I bought xt20 and just ordered xt2....also got 23mm 2.8, 35mm 2.8, 56mm 1.4, kit lens also and just got 27mm 2.8...so that's a damn good starter kit..I'm set for quite a while as I gro into a pro.!
indeed that's a great kit. 👍😃😃
Great video.!!!
Great Video! What backpack are you using? I couldn’t make it out in the video. Many thanks!
Hey Markus, thanks for watching. I have a video coming out on the 12th of December where I go into detail about my new bag and how it works. 😃👍
@@ian_worth Thanks! Ill wait until the 12th :)
I have just bought a second x-t2 + vg + batteries at a very good price. I dont make videos and I prefer the 24Mpx sensor, so the x-t2 is the best fuji-x camera for me.
By the way, thanks a lot for your amazing videos Ian !
Nice one Bruno, Glad you are enjoying the X-t2 Keep shooting buddy 👍👍😀
Hi Ian!
I wouldn't have upgraded to X-T4 if it wasn't for video. The X-T2 served me well since I preordered my first one and I would have kept shooting with it for a long time... actually, I still have and use it! ;)
I'm going to sell one after I get it serviced by Fuji when they reopen the London shop (it's perfect but I want to make sure who buys it gets it renovated), even though I could maybe keep it and convert it to infrared... we'll see. But yes, absolutely worth keeping it in 2020!
Thanks for watching buddy, much appreciated 👍👍
Thx for the help.. moving from canon to Fujifilm. (40 yr canon user)
Glad I could help!
XT 2 + XT 3 + all 3 XF Zooms what more could you need? And as a previous Nikon and Canon user having started with a basic Pentax followed by various Olympus OMs I have almost come full circle but i'm stopping with Fuji. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Chris, sounds like you have a wealth of experience buddy, enjoy shooting and best wishes 😃👍
Just picked one up for CAD$1400 used with 18-55 and 35mm f2. Coming from Sony a7rii, this is definitely a great camera and I am amazed by the colours
Awesome deal you got there, yeah i love the Fuji colours too. 👍👍😀
Great video, my other half is mad you didn’t close the gate behind you though! 😂
So many people mentioned that 😂. Most of the gates in the peak district have closing springs, so no need to physically shut them. You can tell you other half to relax now 😂😂
Ian Worth 😂😂😂
I haven't owned my XT-2 that long. I bought it new for half price. I love it. However, If I were in your place, I think the G series medium sensor cameras are worth consideration. The big plus is that they have IBIS and 50 or more MP. Also, I could see owners of these cameras keeping them much longer than the XT series cameras.
Thanks buddy, I would love to try the medium format cameras, It's difficult to justify the cost at the moment though 😃👍👍
got my x-t2 today as my first ever camera :) waiting for my lens which comes on Monday
Hell yeah! Still one of the best cameras out there!
indeed 😀👍
I just bought in july 2019 an X-T2 + 18-55 brand new for 1066$us + taxes at a dealer, for travelling. What I don't like in the X-T2 is the size of all the buttons. Wearing glasses is a problem. I strongly prefer the handling of all my Nikons , specially my D800. I think Nikon just showed Fuji how to make a good grip such as on their new entry level Z50 mirrorless. I have rented a Fuji 50-140, and I have to say its a great glass but expensive near 2K $ us and heavy too. My Fuji 18-55 have a lot of chromatic aberations at 18 mm specially when shooting in backlighting tree foliage compared to the Nikon 24-120 F2.8 at 24 mm. I will keep the Fuji for travelling, and yes they make much better APS-C glasses than Nikon. I have to mention that I am not a fanboy of any brand. I strongly think that cameras are only tools and none make you a better or worse photographer. When you started investing in glasses, it is very difficult to change brand, without loosing a lot of $$$.
Have a nice day
That's Great Luke, You are very right. They are just a tool, the most important thing is getting out and using whatever camera you have and enjoying the experience. :)
Thanks for this video, Ian. I´ve gone to Fuji x-t2´s from Canon 5d III´s and have been happy. One thing I will say, though, is the AF, especially with the lovely "older" lenses (23mm f1,4, 35mm f1,4 and 56mm f1,2) and in darker conditions isn´t that great. I can live with it but it´s not great. You have both the x-t2 and the x-t3...is the x-t3 so much better in this regard? I mainly shoot weddings and families profesionally. Have been considering upgrading to x-t3´s but I´m not sure it´s worth it. What do you think? Are you not upgrading for 2020? Thanks for your time.
Thanks Petr. I use the 23mm f1.4 for weddings and have noticed that the auto focus is a bit better on the x-t3. The face detection is miles ahead as well. I tend not to use that for stills, but it really helps for video, especially when im filming myself. 👍
@@ian_worth Thanks for the answer, Ian. "A bit better" doesn´t sound like it´ s worth upgrading for stills :) Anyway, as always, one must just rent it and use it to see if it works for them. Thanks and all the best to you.
Hi Ian, thanks for a common sense view. I noticed you had the 50-140 lens on the tripod ... was it on a collar or what was the tripod, head, L bracket set up you used? Cheers
Hi, yeah I had the collar on. just makes it balance a little better 😃👍👍
Valuable insight. My first proper camera could be a xt 2.
Cheers buddy, 👍👍
Last month I have bought mine XT2 in Wex for £499 brand new, fuji was running cashback so scooped another £100 back and Wex was selling fuji xf35 f2 for 100£ less when bought with XT2... Love that camera, now saving for fuji xf 100 -400(its expensive lol).
Thats awesome, sounds like you got a great deal 👍😃😃
Still have my X-T1, still have my X-T2 and use them both. Just ordered the X-H1 new for bargain which is basically a X-T2 with IBIS. Thinking on skipping X-T3 all-together, don't need that extra features just yet...
Hi, that's a great line up, enjoy your photography mate. 👍👍😃
I am new to Fuji and i have the X-E2 and the X-T10. I have the opportunity to pick up an X-T2 at a good price. I worry that i am suffering from GAS. I have an image from the X-E2 that i should print to see if the camera meets my needs but i can't help but "want" the better camera.
Trouble is there's always a better camera out there, no matter what camera you currently own. I think the main thing is getting out and using your gear that you have and enjoying the art of photography. Think of it this way, if you save the money that you would spend on upgrading, you could book an awesome trip to somewhere really cool where you will be able to take amazing photos. 😃👍👍
@@ian_worth i guess i don't listen well because i bought the X-T2. It is the camera i wanted when i switched to Fuji. I just couldn't afford it at the time.
Can you comment on the ergonomics and how comfortable is to hold the camera ?
I like it, but i haven't got massive hands. Adding a leather half case can make a big difference. I quite often use one when i'm shooting weddings. Thanks for watching 😃👍
What is the song in the intro? love the vids thanks
Hey Owen , yeah nice song isn't it. It's Side Road by Jenny Penkin. 👍
Great video. I still reach for my X-T2 a lot more than my X-T3.
Thanks Mark, As long as you are reaching for one of them, that's the main thing. Enjoy your photography buddy 👍👍😃
Yeah Pal love the Fujifilm system got me loving photography again. I find the XT3 a bit annoying I can’t be doing with the touch screen that drives me mad. Had to switch it off I hate touch screens on cameras not needed in my opinion. I only use the XT3 with the 100-400 on other than that it’s the XT2. I used to shoot RAW files back in my canon days but since I got into the fujifilm system fully I never bother with RAW now. Prefer the JPEG’s and no messing about with files in programs. Just get it right in camera and I’m done. Might have to do a little bit of highlights and shadow on the jpeg but that’s it.
@@markheywood5626 Hi. Curiously, what makes you reach for the XT2 than the XT3? I'm thinking of getting a brand new (sealed) XT2+18-55 w/1-yr warranty at US$830 approx. Is it because of the XTrans2 sensor? I do have an XT3 and it works great. I'm thinking of getting a second body in case something happens to one of them. Thank you.
@@nathanielngosy Hi, I’m not sure it wasn’t nothing to do with the sensor it was just the why it worked. I just couldn’t get along with it the thing annoyed me when I used it. I would turn off the touch screen and it would switch itself back on. So when i sold it on not much long after getting it then I ended up getting the X-T4 when it came out and love that. But I still seem to use my X-T2 more than that as I just love it.
@@markheywood5626 Wow. Makes me think that this may be the better option over say the X100v which is more expensive. In addition, I don't have a zoom lense which may come in handy in case (Though I'm a prime lense shooter).
Hi Ian. What is the maximum size print you would sell to a client and still be happy with the detail. Let's say it's a single image not a panorama. Great informative video.
I've done A2 and images still look amazing
I sell A2 prints on my website and the quality is great. To be honest I haven't printed above that on the fuji so I can't really comment. All the best 👍👍
Hi, Ian first off all thanks for the upload. My name is Mike I'm a wedding photographer in bucks im dialled into the canon system I've got a 5DMk2 and some pretty expensive glass
seriously looking at switching to the xt2 or 1 as i was going to upgrade to a 5DMk3 next year but that's as far as I could ever go.
I do like the look of the xt2 and xt1 image-wise and the dual,card slots are as you say a no brainer I'm still on a 1 slot camera with fingers crossed!!
i can pick up a good second-hand bargain from MPB and the L glass I have would go towards paying for that
thing is I'm just that little bit reticent to switch to a system I've never used and it would be a big step for me to take
what about glass what about low light performance battery life etc . . I would love to hear your thoughts
regards
Hey Michael, Yeah it's a big step, i'm not sure the x-t1 would be good enough autofocus wise for weddings, the xt2 copes well enough for sure. If i'm just shooting stills i probably only use a couple of batteries during the day. I think they cope well with low light especially if you can pick up a couple of the fast primes, i use the 23mm f1.4 and the 35 mm f2 a lot and they work well for my style of shooting. If you can afford it, it might be wise to purchase an xt2 but keep your 5d until you are completely sure it will work for you. That's what I did when i switched. 👍
@@ian_worth i bought an XT2 and 50mm F2 prime ditched all the Canon gear and couldn't be happier
The short answer is F*&K yeah it is.
Indeed it is 👍👍
Can I ask if you know where I can find the tiny screws at the base of the camera near the 1/4 20 screw ???
Sorry buddy, i have no idea, maybe contact your Fuji repair centre and see if they can send you some 😀😀👍
I asked Fuji in uk directly and they just sent them to me as my xt2 was registered with them....♥️♥️
Good job....love da accent.!
Cheers man 😃👍👍
I made the move from FF Nikon to Fuji XT2 but then back again. The fuji is great image wise and glass is indeed great but I need reliability and the battery issues and body freezing just were too much. So back to Nikon DSLRs, no regrets at all, never let me down and always have a few shots in the tank even with a low battery. Once you go back, oddly, the size/weight thing isnt a big of a deal as first thought. A D810 for example with a 50mm lens isnt a big or heavy camera at all really and if those grams affect you so much then maybe its the doc you need not a different camera.
Thanks Martin, maybe you're right a doctor might be the answer 😂. Seriously though, because i shoot with 2 bodies when i'm shooting weddings, one with the 70 -200 the other with a 35mm prime, after a 10 hour day of continuous shooting, having the reduced weight is a god send. Since the firmware updates I haven't had any freeze ups for a year or so now. Agree about the battery life though 👍👍
ive been shooting canon for years i still use my 6D and L lenses, but recently i bought a xt10 to play with and the one thing bugging me about is manual focusing, i dont know if its just the xt10 but when you zoom in i cant move the focus point like you can on the canon, how do you manual focus on the xt2? im tempted to buy one as i love the little fuji ive got as a walk round camera, and i would like to lighten my gear because as you said it gets a bit tiring walking round with a big dslr and lenses on your back.
Hi Craig, I haven't had that problem with the xt2, once zoomed im generally fine tweaking with the focus ring. Thanks for watching buddy
Ian Worth ive just found out that if you press the wheel next to the thumb grip then turn it, it zooms in closer 😁 just a shame you cant move it around the screen like my canon, saying that I’m gonna get the xt2 or 3 ive hardly used the canon lately just keep grabbing my fuji, keep the vlogs coming mate 👍
Hi, fuji xt2 or nikon z50 for photography, i shoot only jpeg, mostly stills, portrait, wildlife, travel.
And which has better image quality?
No video uses.
Never tried the nikon z50 so cant really advise, sorry. X-t2 is great though 👍👍
can you put a nikon lens on it? which adapter do you recommend?
Yes you can, I use k & F adapters for my nikon lenses. Just manual focus though, not that that's a problem 😃😃👍
How does the XT2 serve for vlogging purposes?
Hi lesley, To be honest, its ok for vlogging but the xt3 is a lot better. Mainly because the face detect autofocus on the xt3 is miles ahead of that on the xt2.
A higher number of megapixels doesn't always mean it's better. When the resolution of APS-C sensors becomes larger and larger, the size of the pixels themselves will shrink and this is not always desirable. You get the 'grainy' effect you have on smartphone and it's less suitable for certain types of photography such as action and wildlife.
Cheers buddy, mega pixels are just a number, unless printing massive prints it really dosnt matter that much. 👍👍
I'm thinking about upgrading from my Fuji XE1 to an XT2. Had the XE1 for 3 years now (already bought it used). Now should I sell my old XE1? I am thinking about not selling it because it is my first camera. Also is this camera already over 8 years old and in "rough" condition. I would probably get only 70 - 100 Euros for it
very true, it might not be worth selling, maybe you could keep it and use it for a camera that you can just throw in your bag and take everywhere. i've still got alot of my older cameras. My Nikon f100 is still in use. 😃👍👍
Yes, is a nice camera, I use one. I think the new models have much better AF, issue you don’t mention. Sometimes I miss pics because of the slow AF. Regards.
I want to buy a camera, but not sure which one to buy. Some say Fujifilm xt2 and others say canon m50. What do you recommend?
Hi Julie, I can recommend the x-t2 but i have never used the m50 so its difficult for me to say which you should get. Have a think about lenses as that's where the real investment lies. All the best 👍😀😀
I too came from Canon FF to Fujifilm APSc
I will buy the X-T3. It is better. Only slightly better. But better. Buying my XT3 in 3 months.
indeed, it is definitely a lot better for video, no doubt about that, hope you enjoy it as much as i do. 😃👍
If you have the means to upgrade in the future, I'm sure you will. My xt-2 is probably going to be my last camera since I don't have the finances to purchase something else, and probably never will.
My understanding (for still photography) is that the x-t3 has better autofocus in decent light, but the x-t2 still gives better results, with less noise, in low-light:
Is that your experience?
I've had my x-t2 for 3 years now - Passed on the upgrade to x-t3 - and waiting to see zackly what the x-t4 offers.
If Fuji nail the autofocus & tracking, I'll jump:
Ibis would be handy for my 16-55, but not a deal-breaker.
Yeah, I definitely see an improvement in the autofocus. Image quality is pretty much the same. I think the xt3 really shines on the video side of things though. Thanks for watching 😃👍
2020 XT-2 still ok !? So i have the XT-3 so in 2025 i think it still will be ok 😊👍🏼BTW how long can a camera last ? Do we need to changes components !?
Thanks Peter, ive never had any trouble with anything breaking, apart from the odd dead pixel. Hopefully they will continue to last well into the future 👍👍😃
@@ian_worth Nice to hear Ian 😊👍🏼👌🏼🙏🏼
Yes it is, and I wish I had one! Made in Japan!
hows the battery life?
XT2 is an amazing camera. I prefer to invest in lenses than change the body.
x100f or xt2 for street photography?
That's certinly a good question 👍👍
whats the song in beginning
Side Road by Jenny Penkin. it's available on Art list. links in my video description for a free trial 👍😃
X-T3 lost the D-pad.....:-). Just so you know. And I know all about wanting to pick one up, its addicting!
I've got a d'pad on mine 😃
Pro tip: make this kind of video and update the title every year
😅😅
Xt2 shooting vlogs is it good?
It certainly is. I spent the first 2 years on this channel vlogging with the xt2 👍👍
Of course, it's a great camera. Don't loose your money changing it for a newer body that definitely won't give you anything more (specially in landscape photography!).
What sort of computer does someone need to handle 61.0MP files with decent ease...?
A good one😂 , sorry I'm not much of a computer savy guy. I use a chillblast editing pc
A great camera that produces great images won’t all of a sudden not produce great images. Upgradeitis is a disease unless you are after something specific. For instance if the xpro4 comes out with the stacked 26mp sensor found in the xh2s and the ibis system from the xs10 I would upgrade from my xs10 in a minute as I love shooting handheld in low light very often. After renting the xh2s over the holiday that sensor with ibis lets me get near full frame hand hold shooting capability in low light in a body that fits my carry the camera everywhere shooting style. If no compact carry everywhere camera comes out with a stacked ibis sensor then my xs10 will be used until it dies just like my xpro1 was used until it died.
What is your V-logging camera?
Plus I want to know the lens
I use the X-t3 for my video and vlogging. I will use either the 18-55 or the 10-24 lens
After 12mp the pixel race became irrelevant. (and a nuisance for the workflow). How a lens draws is important.
very true 👍
Geez! Even the xt1 is more than worth it.
I love my xt20 which only costs no more than 450 usd.
I have never tried the t20, bet it's great though and like you said a bargain too. 👍😃
With 24-30 mp on APS-C every pixel will be much smaler than on 24-30 mp on full frame. Result: worse on hi ISO. I have an APS-C camera with 24 mp and must be more carefull with high ISO. The advantage is smaller and lighter lenses.
Very true, thanks for watching 😃👍👍
If you want the most bang for the buck possibly you go x-t2. Nowadays they can be hade pre owned för about 450-500 bucks with the battery grip. That's borderline stealing.
indeed, it's a great deal. 😃👍
Yes, so is the X-T1
indeed 👍👍😀
