This FUJIFILM X100VI alternative came out in 2013 and is CHEAP | Fuji XA1
Okay, okay, okay. I said I wasn't going to make videos like this anymore. Well, tough. I got this bad boy off of eBay for under $300, including shipping, and I was pleasantly surprised.
For those of you that know, I already have an XT5 and XE4. Why do I need another Fujifilm camera? Well, to be honest, I don't. But I got it anyway and had a lot of fun. At first I was apprehensive because it didn't have a viewfinder -- but I was immediately taken in by how much joy comes with playing with a new toy once you're comfortable with how it performs.
All photos were straight out of camera. You'll see that the first couple were very clean and natural and then later I adjusted the white balance to suit the style I was going for (AKA very green).
Thanks for coming along, once again. You're all very cool.
If you're interested in that filter... eh... it's on Amazon. I'm not an affiliate link sorta guy so I don't know. You figure it out.
If you're looking for that camera -- I saw a bunch on eBay for around $300-400 but if you're patient you'll find some cheaper.

Life is a funny, funny thing. I've been putting off making YT videos for a handful of months and it's not because I've always been busy. It's been a lot of things. Inspiration is a fickle and often meandering sentiment. I'm not going to say a whole lot here because I think the video does a lot of the talking. Heck, I barely put any effort into the thumbnail. Thanks for being really cool, guys.

      @@stefanbender2584 I love my 18mm f2. It's the first lens I tried on this camera but because both the lens and the camera are so old, the autofocus was quite sluggish and inaccurate. So, putting the 27mm on it gave it some better performance. Plus, I don't love using MF lenses on bodies without viewfinders.

    Good to see you again, Aaron! I deeply resonate with you in this video. I had a few weeks where I was questioning myself about what is inspiring me and what is making me happy. I basically stopped producing and filming for TH-cam because I was putting so much pressure on myself to make good content, but that pressure was not making me happy at all. I think, because we are both creative people and we are lucky enough to work in creative fields and not what is considered a "normal job," having these moments of questioning or not enjoying what we do is quite normal. As you said, inspiration does not come from just one form of art and expression. I've recently started experimenting with very simple videos, without any talking, just long frames and pictures that work well with the music-more like visual poetry. I know that this is not something really appreciated on TH-cam, especially as a new creator; however, doing these videos made me very happy and excited. I always like your videos and your way of thinking. It feels like listening to a wise friend who has experienced something similar to my experience, and it's nice to be heard and not feel alone in the cauldron of the internet. Keep doing what makes you happy and inspired. At the end of the day, the person who needs to be satisfied and happy is you.

    Happy to see you back! Your video really hit home with me. I think many creative/artistic people often have ideas bouncing around everywhere. Managing everything can feel somewhat like spinning plates at a circus. Whenever it gets like that, a lack of immediate and overall direction can surface, and it's not nice. It's definitely challenging, but those creative impulses do need an outlet....Photography, more often than not, seems to come to the rescue for me. It's in my blood really, pretty much like yourself. It definitely helps bring some clarity and focus back, when things can seem pretty incohesive....grabbing my camera, getting out and spending a few hours just taking photographs can really help calm things down. Then, take another step back, re-evaluate and move on from there (hopefully)...well, something like that, you get my gist. Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing your thoughts and I think you got some really mice shots. Good luck with your next ventures, and keep posting here on YT, even if it's just now and then.
