Believe me, the older you get, the less romantic those big old heavy dslrs become. But, they look great on a shelf. I only have three camera bodies that I keep on a shelf. Those are the Nikon EM, FM, and FE because they were my first cameras. And although they were film cameras, they are about the size of today's mirrorless cameras.
Omar, you are always watchable and inspirational . I no longer use Canon or Nikon gear as it was too heavy , as were Pentax . Getting older and looking to avoid neck ache , I switched to Olympus . As I point out to friends who ask what camera I use I tell them that it is the image that matters and the story it tells . Your shots , Omar are full of stories and it is that which will continue to bring you clients . As a family guy, you can never have too many images of the children growing up snd generations later will fall in love with them as your wife and children have over the years .
Thanks for the honesty and openness about it all. I've been a Nikon shooter for decades and feel guilty in a way for considering other brands. I'm at a crossroads, ready to drop DSLR and embrace mirrorless but I just can't wrap my mind around the Z72. I'm waiting, and waiting to see what fills the gap between it and the Z9. Im OK with it all, I do mostly nature work attached to a tripod with long shutter speeds. But, I also enjoy street. So it's great to see what some of these FUJIs are capable of and I look forward to seeing how that could let me explore that other passion. Thanks!
I resonate with your enjoyment of DSLRs, though maybe for a different reason. I mainly shoot to remember and document things in my life (family events, trips, etc.). As opposed to professional work, the pace is slow and the stakes are low. I find that a more analog experience increases my enjoyment, and makes taking photos enhance my experience. Being able to see through glass what I’m about to capture, focusing by directly moving lens elements myself, and a satisfying shutter are very important to me. I’m lucky enough to own a Leica M10 (with a dent in the top to get me a KEH bargain), but I think an old DSLR does the same thing. It’s like a friend who comes with me on my trips. Anyway I dunno what I’m getting at here lol
Always love your videos, Omar!
I loved hearing your walk down memory lane and what has drawn you to various cameras. What comes through more than anything is your genuine passion for what you do and your openness to embrace what any given camera has to offer. Thank you!
We love your honesty. Most of us tend to hide our primaeval thoughts that our reasoning fights against, not you, which is so relieving. Thanks for being you Omar.
Your explanation about your preferred event setup is just GOLD. Thank you Omar!
Great video as always. I am getting on in age now (52) and I used to shoot in clubs up until the hit of covid. I swear it would take until mid week for the ringing in my ears to stop from the music and my bones from aching from dancing. Love you mentioned you shoot while dancing, a few customers used to hire me as my pictures where from the dance floor ( still can’t help to do it now, it embarrasses my assistant, grandad dancing apparently!) Tried a Fuji x-H2 with new update with a 16-55 f2.8 at a dance event and couldn’t believe how sticky the focus was and how quick it is especially considering using a slowish lens. Keep doing what you do man. Stephen
Have enjoyed your fujifilm journey, along with with your humor and insight into photography in general! Glad you still have a few Fuji cameras ..ha! And nice to see a rare sighting of “PO”! Keep doing what you are doing!
Being a former fuji shooter myself, I used to always be looking for youtubers to watch that shoot fuji. I notice when you get into following a channel and they change camera brands it gets people in a knot. Also, there's alot more Sony, Canon and Nikon channels, so when you find a fuji youtuber you hope they stay with your brand. I don't shoot fuji anymore (I shoot Leica and Panasonic now), but still enjoy your videos. Shoot whatever brand you like :-)
I've been following you for ages. From the very first day I purchased my Fujifilm camera and followed you every setting instructions, your photos skills and your contents are amazing! Recently, I have made a switch to Sony because I eventually figured out what I really want. My experience with Fuji gears is just incredible though, if you don't have enough time to take care all of your Fujis then I can help you out lol.
Always love to see photos of my home town from the eyes of others. Old Quebec City is a must shoot in any season. Made my day!
When I went digital awhile back and was researching a replacement for my Nikon film SLR(that was stolen!), you were one of the resources I saw that leaned me into Fujifilm. I was not happy with what I saw from Nikon at the time and the XT-2 felt so good in my smaller hands; plus the controls-so much like what I had lost! And as you have said many times...these cameras are just fun to use. I still use the XT-2 because I am not a pro and can't justify an upgrade-yet. More for lenses, right? I loved your trip down "memory lane" and hearing your choices on cameras for work and play.
Thanks Omar. Great overview of your shooting style and equipment. Really enjoyed the journey you took us on. I’m a Fuji shooter and have to admit I do miss my Canon for low light and even focus at times.
Yep, I love shooting with different gear too. It inspires me differently. I am also not letting go of any DSLRs anytime soon, I love that ruggedness you talked about and I enjoy the shooting experience with a DSLR too much to let go. And that 70-200mm L II is just delicious! I shot my first (and only) wedding with it while I was still learning the ropes and and I still consider the shots from that event as some of my best shots because of that lens.
Love your thought process in deciding what gear to use for your objective. Many tools to choose from.Who knows what the camera industry will offer in ten years? 😊
Loved this walk through Omar. I love the Nikon 105mm, never disappoints. If you ever get chance, try 50mm Zeiss on your Fuji XT’s, wonderful macro and more. On Nikon Z a little cheap & cheerful 40mm f2 for walk around amazed me.
Bought the XT 20 at the beginning and am still using it. Used Sugru (another of your vids) to build up the finger and thumb grips and was so happy with it I bought a second XT20 so I’ll always have all that I want. Thank you Omar.
Enjoyed the video as always , Omar. I never really knew much about the Sonys or Canon (except the early DSLRs). Great cross sectional review of cameras, but as an older hobby photographer I'm staying with my Fuji XT series.
