Fuji X100VI Hands-On Review: Flagship Image in a Limited Body
A short visual poem I shot detailing my complex feelings about moving back home. Shot on the Fuji X100iv and Fuji GFX 100ii with either the 30mm and 110mm tilt shift lenses + my thoughts on X100vi towards the end. I know I am a little late given that this camera's been "available" for some time now, and there are likely hundreds of reviews already out there. But I wasn't gonna squander an opportunity to play with free gear! Plus this camera's so back ordered many of you likely still don't have it so here's a bit more FOMO while you wait lol.
Puerto Rico shots were taken after I had to return the X100iv to Fuji so they were shot on the XS-20, iPhone, and R5C.
Disclaimer: Fuji Let me borrow the X100iv + Their GF Mount Tilt-shift lenses to make this review, no money changed hands, and my opinions are my own.

AI : Bringing My Imagination to Life
มุมมอง 693 หลายเดือนก่อน
I’ve always preferred being lost in my dreams to being present in reality. It worked against me in school, and when I tried to keep a normal job. Then I learned I could monetize it and turn it into a career. But my skills and resources could never quite keep up with my imagination. Ai is bridging that gap. Many people are either intimidated or dismissive of AI and see it only through the lens o...

    What I've decided to do is have a GFX100 s ii camera which I will be purchasing soon and I'll be selling off all of my other camera gear except for my Fiji form XT5 which will be my fun holiday camera quick jobs whatever I need to do but just having the two cameras is much better than having four or five cameras and way too much gear. It gets too much sometimes and that means I'll have the cash back as well. I love the Fiji colours so having the XT5 match with the GFX camera I can get similar images in terms of look in colours so if I needed to use both cameras on a shoot I can do that

    We have the same problems now. I just got a big brand deal, and now i can get all the cameras I ever dreamed about, and I have the rational side of my brain being overpowered by so many options. I want a cinema camera and two hybrid bodies, I'm learning C400 and two R3s for internal raw recording, but a Nikon Z8 and Z9 duo also looks good, paired with a Ronin 4D for faster paced action. I want to be a film maker primarily, photo second, it's difficult trying not to overspend.

    @2:32” i love what you said! Bravo. I have an issue that you might help me to make my final decision: in short, after switching from sonya1 because I didn’t like colours and also a7cR that was slow, still i own gfx100s with all gf lenses and i love 16bit images BUT it’s bulky and slow to be enough versatile for all kinds of photography! Recently i tested Nikon Z8 that I believe is all in one camera for what i meed and reliable for any scenarios. BUT 14 vs 16bit image! Although in theory humane yes cannot see more that 8bit but I believe i can see and appreciate how much is deep 16bit image in camera, monitor and print! So, shall I sacrifice 16bit IQ to have all in one camera gear to cover all kinds of photography i need, or i should forget about all in one and focus on landscape and still life photography (only) and maybe portraits, but achieve 16bit image for best cropping possibility and also x-large printing?
