The Fujifilm X-M1 could be the best value for money camera on today's market, and in my opinion it's just that. This legacy camera has the Fujifilm's X-Trans 1 sensor and produces some of the best, most filmic photos in today's digital cameras. I love this camera and I talk about its features and show example images. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I bought one 3 months ago and was amazed by the quality. I use it with both the 27mm pancake and 18mm lens. This combination is so light. I use it exclusively for street photography and the results are so good. Hold down the Q button for 2 seconds and the screen becomes extremely bright for when shooting on sunny days. I’m so stealthy with this camera.
ah, that's a great tip! thanks 👍
Curious how much you paid for yours
@@TVzenrobot FYI I paid $250
Got mine in 2013. It’s still my main Street photography camera. It’s small, discreet and because i shoot from the waist, people don’t notice, so I can capture more natural expressions
I enjoy using my X-M1 with XF 35 f/1.4 when I want to get a different look than my pocketable XF10 gives. This combo is so compact, yet so good in low light, allows you to get detailed and beautiful images. I wish there were more assignable buttons, but in general I got used to using pre-configured M, A and S modes for different purposes. I also found very convenient to use AF-L by pushing Fn button to ease frame bulding. And yeah, I miss electronic shutter on sunny days while shooting with f/1.4.
These are timeless artistic tools, just as their film versions were before them. Really enjoyed this vid, especially watching out before heading out an early morning cityscape shoot with X-E3 and 70-300.
thanks - hope you had a great shoot!
I bought a slide viewer to put over the back of the camera when shooting outdoors, and for fun a Russian turret viewfinder with four lens settings to mount on the flash shoe if I don't really want to mess with the viewer. The look of the body with that viewfinder on it is wonderful. Very old Leica school. And it really works! Only had my M1 for a year before bumping up to a T-2, but pulled out the M1 to refamiliarize myself with it again. You do forget! Sunny day landscape, get one if those turret viewfinders. Very fun to use. And very clear glass. (It's probably called something else)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING I ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS CAMERA
I agree. First of all I don't have the money to buy new/expensive gear on a regular basis. Secondly it seems that people tend to forget how well "old" camera's are or were back then. I recently picked up an X10 for about 130 euro because I was looking for a portable everyday compact camera. I was really pleasently surprised by the quality of the lens en pictures it takes. I don't care that it only has 12 megapixel pictures. It is so much fun for me taking pictures with it and I think the retro look makes it all complete. I do like slowing down to take a picture. This style of shooting fits me perfectly. After a while u get used to it's pros and cons anyway. The cons will maybe even make u more a creative of or better. photographer. Who knows. Beside my X-T1 i'm really happy with my new "old" Fuji companion. I was first looking for an X-M1 but ended up with an X10. Either way the X-M1 also looks fun to shoot with because of the possibilty to uses different lenses.
Anyway I like watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
thanks! Totally agree with you. sometime I choose the older Fuji gear instead of my new cameras. Very special cameras...
I bought a used X-M1 a few weeks back for $220USD. I've paired it with a TTArtisan 27mm f2.8, mostly to shoot street. So far I love it. At first I struggled with not having a viewfinder, but I can live without it. I also miss the ability to do back button focusing, like I do with my other Fujis. I tried assigning Instant AF to the Fn button, but it wasn't great. I'm glad I have it, and appreciate your recommendation.
Thanks for sharing.
Personally I have never shot an X-m1 but I love my Xpro1 guessing the pictures are close to each other.
Great video! What do you think of the X-A3 or X-A5? They are similar without a view finder and can be bought for fairly low prices.
I have the x100v and x100s. And while I love the V, there are still occasions (like your shoot in this vid) where I grab the X100s, over the V, or any of my other modern mirrorless cameras. There is something about the sensor, and the softer, but still detailed lenses of the old x100 series cameras that give it a film-like look that makes me want to shoot it. I have a tiffen glimmerglass filter that never comes off it. I often take it out with my FE2 and a single roll of film and compare the images. And while they still aren't a true film look they are just as beautiful and as close as I have got with anything else straight out of camera.
Thanks for the great video. I have one of these, and was wondering if you know a way to get it to back button focus? Cheers
Loved the music too!
thanks!
Such a nice video with the peaceful background and location but the calm music is the cherry on top. Still not sold on the camera but i love the video and I also really like the photos you've taken with it. :)
Thanks!
I bought a X-M1 too. Chris, can you share you’re settings with us please? Thanks in advance.
I understand perfectly what you mean about older cameras! I am using an old camera too, the 2014 Sony a6000. Sure, it’s 24mp, way more from what I need but I am editing raw in Lightroom and I can get that filmic look. It was very chip, I found it a few months ago, brand new, for 499€. Paired with the Sony 18-105mm F4 G it works like wonder! And it has EVF. Fujifilm has great JPEG capabilities and iconic design but it’s not my style… there are very few good quality zoom lenses for X mount and are very expensive. It’s very sad because the XF primes are among the best and are generally cheaper than Sony Zeiss or G master equivalents.
Nice to see you out and about Chris, great video more of this please. I suppose you could say the X_M1 is maybe the poor mans X100v?
thanks! Yeah, I guess it's similar if you put on the 23mm lens as i have.
Fuji gear seems to be quite hard to get at a reasonable price range these days and seems to be getting more popular. Maybe that's why the used market prices are going up? It was quite hard to get my hands on the 35mm f2 and 50mm f2 as those are sold out so fast used and new. Seems like the 23mm f2 is easier to come by so I picked one up and am loving it. It's so much sharper than the 16-50mm XC lens that I came with the X-T1 I picked up. I was actually limiting myself to 16mm on the XC lens for a week before the 23mm arrived and am really liking that focal length for small indoor scenarios with my niece and nephew running around. I might get the 16mm f2.8 one of these days after I sell both the XC zoom lenses. Thank you for such a great video!
pleasure - thanks for the kind comment! 😊
Cool. My fave is the X70, and I view my X-M1 as an X70 that I can change lenses on :)
Can you back button focus on the XM1?
@@teamhazardous201 No. The function button is the only one you can change.
I was looking for a X-Trans 1 sensor camera last summer, and came across a used X-M1 in good condition for only $45 (body only without battery). Couldn´t let that pass, and I don´t regret making the purchase.
lols if you try to buy one right now it's like $250 to $300+ USD for body only
@@BryanMiraflor I know. My latest purchase was a X-E1 with the 18-55 f2.8-4.0 and the 60mm macro for $100. I felt like a criminal not telling her she could get way more for the body only 🤫 Now I'm waiting for someone to sell their X70 for a few $ 😜
Previously you mentioned X-E2 being a great value, but the recent videos I only see X-M1.
What is your thought on X-E2 vs X-M1, and what made you choose X-M1 over the X-E2?
Thank you for all the great contents.
I like both. The main practical differences are the X-E series have an EVF, and more assignable function buttons.
What do you think about x-e2 vs x-m1 ? I dont know witch should i buy ! 😢
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks!
can you please make a video on vintage Fuji X-A10 if possible
How do i get filmreciepes in it? Is it possible?
This was of course the last camera with the X-trans I sensor, after the X-Pro 1 and X-E1. I think it has a different processor, however: the EXR Processor II. Maybe the same one that eventually made it to the X-Trans II cameras? I am not sure if this is correct - but I think I read it somewhere. How does it perform compared to your X-E1? Is it faster/focuses more confidently? Are all the film sims the same?
to be honest, it feels a tiny bit faster to me - plus the sensor feels a little different. Sometimes, I prefer the sensor in the X-M1 to the X-E1. They are very similar, so I guess it depends on what I'm shooting. I take the X-M1 to commercial shoots sometimes, and would happily use it as a backup camera. But, I probably wouldn't do that with the X-E1.
@@ChrisOrange thanks for the reply. It sounds like the X-M1 is a perfect bridge between the x-trans I & II sensors, and from what I can tell from looking at old literature and reviews it’s a one-of-a kind sensor and processor combo. Great find! I look forward to seeing some more images from it on your feeds.
It's funny, I just bought one yesterday, for $350 Canadian. I have many other Fujifilms but never owned one with the first generation X-trans sensor. I also needed it for its size. Thanks for your videos.
and i just bought one today for $60 cad lol
@@LloydCarig Very nice 😊👍
No idea how im gonna like it, but from couple hours so far, feels like a tiny xpro 1.
Very cool - glad you got one for a good price too!
Got one after your first video on the XM-1. Love using it for street and landscape. Seems Fujifilm has dumbed down this camera by omitting simple things like preview exposure in manual mode. I work around this by using a manual focus lens with an aperture ring. I dial in the shutter speed and iso by guessing the exposure, focus, then half press the shutter button to kick in exposure preview then adjust the aperture with my left hand to get the exposure to my liking. Also got a 35mm optical viewfinder for 11 euros from ebay for composing in situation of extreme high dynamic range situations where my eye can see the right picture but it cannot be rendered so well on the screen. Of course the tilting screen is a big plus for composing with foreground objects. I also got the X70 just after this camera, but I keep using the XM-1 because somehow I like the look of the first gen xtrans better.
yeah, me too. this camera comes everywhere with me these days...
Pick up a good Russian turret viewfinder for it. Big fun!
fujifilm's color from x-trans sensor is out of this world!!! I mean i ditch my sony a6000 for the color this old camera has..., anyway those are great pictures you take!!
I got the fujifilm x a2 and is amazing i payd 145 quit for camera lens and accesories bargain
Could you please show us more of your personal settings for this camera?
Would love to see this too.
Literally just got one based on your previous video. Love it b
Great to hear - great cameras!
Try to get a hoodman hoodloupe
I got one. It would be cool.to find a way to have it flip down, or magnetically stay in place. I also got a Russian turret viewfinder. What a look.
интересное видео про фуджи. Я с Российской федерации, смотрю на блогера и он так лицом похож на друга из начальной школы. Как же интересно нас поделили на нации, а мы внешне похожи, нам дали разные культуры чтобы мы отличались, чтобы разделить.
No viewfinder.. letdown 😌
Get a Russian hot shoe turret viewfinder for it. They look super cool, and surprisingly they are absolutely clean and clear lenses. And they look very old school Leica!
More like $500.00 now..........
Add a hundred and get the X-H1..
Best value for money camera for YOU then…..
