- In this video, we'll dive into the theory behind why everyone is buying Fuji cameras, specifically the x100v and gfx100s models. From their design to their features to their affordability and more, we'll explore what makes these cameras so desirable in 2024.

Oh wow. That resonates so much with me. It's the old "Want" VS "Need" conundrum...and as "Artists" 😆 we appreciate things of beauty, and we want things of beauty!
That jolly old ROI thing. If there's no positive return on the investment, it has no place in the business. As a photojournalist, I used a Leica M kit. It made sense. It was the perfect tool for the job I was doing. When digital came about I sold the Leica gear and went with what was needed at that time - DSLR. It was a gutwrenching move personally, but right for my business. Today I use Sony, not because I like a camera with the ergonomics of a toaster, but it's the right tool. Keep up the great work bringing common sense to TH-cam.
I wish people would understand that more or even my younger self 😅 I also went Sony n it's my best tool after going through nearly every brand; that has roi in less than six months 😮
Does Sony still have the ergonomics of a toaster? I heard t was better now.
I've only owned Panasonic (Lumix) & Canon mirrorless cameras so I don't know how a Sony feels.
Most of the time I have no idea what he's talking about. But I can't get enough of it.
I'm a fuji shooter and love my gear, but equally are getting a kick out of your blunt assessment of their gear. LMAO. You should defo be a Fuji X ambassador, that would make my day.
Weird that Hasselblad and Fuji have a lot of common history. A lot of Hasselblad lenses are build by Fuji. The Hasselblad H was also build and in Japan also sold under the Fuji brand. The xpan was also build and sold by Fuji and so on :).
I moved from Canon to Fuji (X-T series, not GFX) and its the best thing I ever did for my photography. I prefer not just the files, but also the ergonomics, both physically on the camera and in the menus.
I have an X100V because I wanted a fixed lens camera as a challenge. I am also considering replacing my Canon 5D4 with the XT5, because it’s smaller. It takes a while to commit to spending any money though. I am a hobbyist.
@@colinstock325 I'm a hobbyist too, and size was definitely a factor for me as well in that decision. I mainly shoot landscape and travel. I got an XT3 when they were new out, and several years later it's never missed a beat
I have also the xt3 i dropt it alot and shot alot of rain sessions in the netherlands and its still goings strong its a real beast of a camera the xt3, i Will never sell it hahaha
It's nice to see Scott is human and can buy 'wants' in his personal life. A friend told me if you want something - get it, you don't have to justify it. If you can afford it of course. I love kit and learning how to use it. That's my foolish things - like the older Mercedes. It's so great to have and use. In my 40 years I have acquired lots of gear and I use it. Not all the time, but it's there when I need it. My photography is what I enjoy in my personal life and I use it to make money too. I guess you can say I don't have a life outside of photography. I do what I love. Scott - I hope you get that Hasselblad someday. I had three of them and miss the days of using them.
Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus and I am happy. For the street they are perfect. No special editing software required, and no mechanical issues -- just great simply cameras for the street. I also have a Canon -- may be selling my Canon RP and lenses soon. Nikon Z5 + 40mm works wonders on the street. Great camera I bought for a grand.
I miss my M6. It’s the horrendous cost of film/processing/scanning that makes it less attainable in my opinion, not the actual camera and hence my reason for selling it. The X100V doesn’t come slightly close to the experience of shooting an M6 but at least each time I press the shutter it’s not draining my bank account.
I've been a Nikon shooter since starting photography more than a decade ago. I am a professional, shooting all kind of events, including video, as well as stock photography at a high end stock agency. One of my best purchases was the Nikon Z9. I know people say marry your lenses and not the bodies (and I have good lenses) but I've never gotten an upgrade so big which has eased my work immeasurably. The perfect, near instantaneous autofocus meant that I no longer have out of focus images. The lack of mechanical shutter meant that I can go out, make 50000 images (although the time it would take to go through them would be crazy), and the camera would be the same as new. All in all, the reliability you get from Nikon but especially from their pro bodies is amazing. I am not making an ad for Nikon. I see friends who are equally happy with an R5. I wanted to say that bodies are important, they can ease your work, and there are brands which give you an amazing middle ground.
Wow memories, back in the day i used the Hasselblad 500cm and a Leica M4. Loved those cameras, definitely my 2 favorites. Love your content, I'm a new subscriber checking out some of your older videos. Good practical info, thank you.
Brilliant and exactly right. That being said, I recently bought my dream camera (Nikon F2) with a number of lenses. But, in my defence, it´s for "fun" use only. That, and it is a sh*tload cheaper than an M6. It´s my 18mpg Mercedes... and I love it. I love the feel of it, the sounds it makes, and the images I get from it. No regrets. Now I just need a "Hassy". 😎 Love your videos and your honesty. I learn more from you than most other TH-camrs about photography and I don´t even shoot commercial. Keep doing what you are doing.
We switched from Fuji GFX 100 to Hasselblad X2D as soon as they came out as I was sick of the menus and hated the colours - but the cost exercise over the Fuji really was worth it - thanks to Clifton Cameras MPB and London Camera Exchange Oxford and Bristol for making it all sweet and easy - I feel the original GFX100 was peak Fuji.
I haven't upgraded cameras, but I have been going through a kit upgrade. First is the sensible, which was a set of manual primes I'm cinemodding for video. They all look amazing, and most of them have been dirt cheap and easy to CLA myself in under a half hour. The quality smashes my Zeiss Contax lenses, and I picked up a set of ten for less than the three cheapest Zeiss Contax lenses everyone buys to mod. Clear win in the ROI department.
Then there's the significantly less sensible, which is that I bought myself a Canon dream lens. I'll probably never make any money back on it unless I sell it, but I've wanted one for over a decade, and I finally let myself shell out that cash.
Fuji have figured out the classic camera haptics and aesthetics for the modern digital age. Bravo to them.
Where have you been my whole life. Wonderful video and delivery
Great points on all. I can't afford a RED or ARRI video camera, so I settled on a Fujifilm XH2s. Excellent video quality and reliability. Enough formats to choose from. It's a great hybrid camera and I also enjoy the film grades and still pictures I get out of it. My Nikon D750 has been in its case for several months now., I take it out every now and again to make sure the batteries are good. Don't use it that much. Fuji is the best choice available today for people whose budgets exist in the real world.
As a side note to my previous comment, I come to your channel to put sensible into my head. To remind me that there has to be a good reason to buy something, not just give in to lust. Sometimes lust is good, but most of the times it gets in the way of actually enjoying what you already have. This from a hobbyist perspective.
I always describe it as:
When I had a Canon it felt like using a hammer, but when I use a Fuji it feels like using a fine paintbrush. The Canon feels like a highly functional piece of gear but it's only nice for doing work, whereas the Fuji is a joy to use on its own.
I do occasionally wonder if my actual photography has deteriorated because I now use Fuji, as I no longer have full frame and a less simple interface (autofocus + start up times suck). Canon would be: turn it on and shoot and go, whereas with Fuji it often lose my autofocus point to give an example. At the same time the job feels more fun, artistic and wholesome.
I guess every camera has its pros and cons and the best thing we can do is be honest with ourselves :) For me I needed to get that Fuji bug out of my system and I could now switch back to Canon with peace in my heart. But I just came back from nature working with a model with an old film camera and man, my inner artist just really loves impractical gear :D Even using a nice fuji felt like a stap back from the snap that the film camera makes. The finality of it. The commitment.
Check out the Fuji X-Pro series. Unless you need the leaf shutter it's basically the interchangeable version of the X100 series, Then you will get addicted to the little Fuji prime lenses.
If you get the Hasselblad how do you get it repaired?
I have been shooting with the GFX100 for a couple of years now and I love working with it. I am not saying one is better than the other but interested in hearing why you went with the 100s? was it form factor on the cambo system?
If they ever produced a square digital back, I would have kept my 500cm (or my Bronica SQA's for that matter). Having a digital back that is always in landscape when one is using the waist level viewfinder becomes completely impractical when shooting in a portrait orientation. If only they would create a 56mm square sensor (anywhere between 24-60mp), now that would be amazing. Of course, it would be more expensive than the Merc and the petrol!
I think sinar has one that’s about 8 or 12 mp
Agree with sentiment., but have a couple of "huh?" questions. I don't see how an M6 replacement is an X100V. I went into B&H looking for a Leica Q2 (few years back) and they suggested the X100V. That makes sense. Second, where can I find how to mount the Phase One 150 megapixel back on a Hassy V system camera? You can put older Phase One/Leaf, but I am not aware of a way to mount the new back. Please send links so I can check it out!
Get a Zorki 4K and screw a Leica lens on it, get the Rangefinder fix on a budget! I use Fuji, they do what I want them to do. The new X100VI is beautiful.
The Fuji GFX, fully agree, it’s a great tool for the job, secondhand it’s a steal. It might not be the fastest but it’s I think it suis your work perfectly. The Fuji x100, not so sensible if you ask me. The price is pretty steep, even if you can find one at retail price and it’s not the “best” camera at that price point.i think a secondhand Leica would be cheaper than a secondhand x100v. A leica m4p with a voightlander is roughly the same cost if you can snatch a good deal, which is more likely than getting a good deal on the Fuji x100. Sure, film is pretty expensive so the leica isn’t really sensible either, but at least it feels like a m6 (it is part from the light meter). The X100v just tickles the brain, it looks nice and might get you the same feeling (to me it didn’t so I sold mine) and it’s digital. A more sensible choice would probably be a Fuji xe3/4 or any entry mirrorless at this point. Getting the same results for less money, but yeah, the itch..
50 years ago Olympus offered the Olympus Trip. 35mm, sharp and small. The X100V is only popular as it follows the same idea.
I feel you on the “nearly”. My grails were m4 and m9 ….. I got my m4 but settled for an m8 as my nearly, and I’m not looking back.
I had a 500cm with a digital back... Sold it because it was completely impractical for work, and the camera I swapped to is infinitely better for what I shoot. Seeing the price of Hasselblads only a couple of years on makes me wish I held onto it for a little while longer, but it was time for it to go. I think when you shoot with a camera for work, the "wonderful shoot process" and all the marketing gumph that comes with those cameras becomes an expensive novelty quite quickly.
That's why Leica's are call dentist's cameras. The only people that can afford to shoot one.
...having said all that, I sold my 500cm and bought a Leica q2... go figure.
When I was due for some new equipment, I switched away from Canon because they simply kept getting more awkward and less fun to use. The fuji X-t series harkened back to my old Canon F-1 days, fun and convenient to use, feel good in my hands, etc.
That little dig at the end there was fantastic.
Using X-S10 and with the right settings and filters I am able to match Blackmagic output. Amazing for a $1000 camera.
Hey fellow collegue ! We are so alike, you nailed it.

Thank you for a provocative video. I am, however, going to provide what I consider to be a reality check. We are lucky to live in a golden age of digital photography. All brands are great. In response to your video, what facts do you have to support your claim that "Everyones Switching to Fuji Cameras"? There are no facts to prove this. Sales figures show the exact opposite. Fuji has been and still is a solid *FOURTH* in sales. This has not changed. Please don't take my comment the wrong way ... your channel is great and Fuji cameras are excellent. We just need to base statements on reality and not on our wishes.
Great video. I moved away from a "serious" camera because I'm not a business. I decided to get the one that is the most fun toy (for the money) because I don't need an ROI for my hobby. I'd never buy an 18 MPG Mercedes though ;)
Everyone I meet out shooting birds and wildlife is shooting Canon and Sony and starting to more often be Nikon. I never hear anyone mention Fuji or Olympus
It's just hype and noise from TH-cam... I only know three fuji shooters n only two are making a living out of it while the rest are Sony/canon n barely any Nikon left 😅 also thanks to the hype fuji shooters or should I say fuji hipsters think they are a superior photographer while most of them are just shooting on auto😂 😂
:))) you are so right! I also thought I could get a cheap Leica M with the x100v. However, I already had an M2 and still prefer to shoot with the M2.
Excellent video 😊!
Agreed - without seeing the video yet...TH-camrs. The same with the Leica Q. I had an X100T for a couple of years. It was fine, as good as any everyday camera, but not better, no magic mojo. just good.
You should have watched the video before commenting.
@@charleseliason4694Watching now
@@charleseliason4694Watched and my opinion hasn’t changed.
Fuji is fine….over hyped on social media.
@@charleseliason4694 I watched it and it made no difference. I have owned a few Fuji cameras including an X100T. they are 100% fine, I do not think there is anything specifically special about them. There are other slight compromise choices for the 500cm and Leica M6.
I think it is still the Instax division propping Fuji up however (and by a BIG margin), I wonder how well they'd actually be doing without that division...
For me, I like the XH2S's, I need stacked sensor tech for my line of work. $3k is a lot for an ASP-C sensor but it actually is a pretty brilliant camera packed with a lot of bite.
Absolute nonsense, they’re killing it with their Apc cameras, particularly the X100v, they can’t make them fast enough and there’s a three month waiting list. They’re about to cash in and release an updated one that’s hardly updated and will cost more because they know from the second hand market that people are paying more than the new price for the X100V.
I enjoy the X-H2S and don't need a stacked sensor as I shoot purely for fun. What I enjoy is having a blazing fast camera that gives you the option of relatively inexpensive premium lenses, and optional tiny lenses that are still VERY good. Once you realize you don't have to spend 3k on a lens the 3k on the body is very reasonable.
The Canon R10 and a second hand EF 24-70 does the job for me
Get the Leica M3. Looks better. Better built, and you can get it for 1/2 the price of the M6. Then you can still feel good about being frugal.
Sorry, Fuji’s 100V was super hyped by influencers (Christ I hate that phrase) a big percentage of the global sales were made because it’s a trendy camera. I shoot my street photography on a Sony R7 mk2 and I also use a Sony 100 VA for the same purpose, do I feel any less able than the wankers that walk around London “wearing” their Leica like a piece of jewellery, absolutely not. Cameras are to take pictures with, end of.
Ohhh great opinion! congrats!!
I'm not a Fuji owner yet but who knows...they do seem to design for the business owner.
Interesting thing, our hobbies and our work. When I was younger I dreamed of owning and playing Gibson Les Paul Les Paul because my two favourite guitarists played one. I finally got one, in fact over my lifetime I have owned three.. have, past tense. I actually hated them. Fantastic sound but awful to hold and play. Yet, probably still the most wanted guitar in the world. After over 50 years of guitar playing I now own a Epiphone, a cheap Gibson copy, not even a Les Paul. Why, because it’s affordable, I can easily replace it and I know that in a blind test NOBODY can tell if it’s not the real deal, nobody, in fact having played the genuine guitar it’s based on it might sound better, go figure. In short, it’s what works for you and gets the job done. The guitar players of the ‘60’s played what they could get not what was hyped. Kurt Cobain played a Fender Mustang because it was cheap and suited his hands and so on. Go out and buy what works for you and always ignore the hype.
True
The irony of seeing so many testimonies of fuji users switching to the nikon zf. I don't know where you got that idea
"Everyones" NOT switching to Fuji ! Look at the sale numbers !
Three words:
Film Simulation Recipes
😀 😀 😀
"This is where we make money to do stupid things at home." 😄Nice!
I do hope you're not joking about next weeks video 😂😂😂
“Mid”format
And the lenses aren’t even close, but gets the job done and the images are sooooo far beyond 35mm mirrorless.
GAS in full swing here 😂
Lol. that would be winning at life though I have no desire for the Leica
I really never understood why people love the M6 so much. For me you look with it like someone who takes black and white pictures of a person between two shadows. If i want to look badass i would get a zorki 4 with turret viewfinder or a Nikon f3.
i am a photographer and i know a lot of them here in my country, no one switched to fuji, all the pros using sony, nikon, canon, maybe some amateur photographers or selfcalled " streetphotgraphers" with x100 series
It's awesome that you know every photographer in your country, impressive really.
@@bigd7696 reading and unterstanding seems different to you, i wrote i know a lot of them, i did not write " all of them". 2.) Here the pro photographers have to be in the chamber of commerce, so i know how much they are. 3) we did in covid times 2 years ago a opinion poll about investing, so we know what they are useing. There was no switching, a canon user stays canon, sony to sony, nikon to nikon. Fuji gfx users started with fuji gfx when it comes out. There is no switching in last times because of fuji doing something special.on the contrary, ambassadors of fuji switched to other brands, because fuji don't listen to pros. And i wrote about pros only. And last, in my " country" with 1.2 mio residents are not even 700 pro photographers with licence. As member( job) of the chamber of commerce i know whats going on.
All you have to say is 80:20 ;-) It will make sense :)
I understand now, why you switched to Fuji.
Fuji cameras are wonderful to work with. Their cameras don't "interfere" with the act of photographing
1713 Chance Cape
There is a simple reason Fuji is better right now.
X h2: 8k, international raw, 40mp, cf express type b, for $2,000
A74: 4k, crazy expensive memory cards, 33mp for $2500
A7R5: similar specs for $4000
"Rolling up in your Mercedes with your Hasselblad and Leica..." A wonderful seductive image! Oh yes! Interesting how in 2024, such cameras are still the golden dream as much as they were in the 1960s (when my 35mm dream camera was a Nikon F - because all the Vietnam pros, and hot London fashion shooters (echoed by David Hemmings' pseudo-Bailey in "Blow-Up"), were using Hasselblads and Nikon Fs! Yes, Hassels are still SO beautiful... So, to be fair, are Leicas... Sigh...
OMG. 😂 same two dream cameras.
As an X100V and GFX owner I'm sitting here wondering if we're all just NPC's living in a simulation.
I too went a bought an utterly impractical car, ridiculously fast and crappy mpg, wife took the piss and would not go in it, I enjoyed it for a short while then I bought a van and realised I was a tit 😂 but us daft blokes have to scratch an an itch at times. You mention broncolor, I also dropped 60k on there scoro packs 10 years ago and crazy para modifiers, pulso heads etc, biggest waste of money in the history of waste of money!!. Great no nonsense video. Us blokes are daft aren’t we LOL 😜 oh and the x100v is massively over hyped and I have one to be able to say this along with lots of other Fuji goodies. I now settle on an XH2 and XH2s along with an XT5 as realise anything more even in the commercial world is just un necessary and I have owned phase, blad etc and even the awful Sony, ewwwhhh what was I thinking….. but have always had a Fuji since I was one of the original Fuji x photographers in 2014 and keep using despite its quirks. But I do refuse to join the hipster brigade and wear trousers that are to short no socks and loafers and grow a cool beard ….ooopps sorry your beard does look kind of cool though 😎🤣🤣
Fujifilm is leaving a lot of money on the table to be grabbed by other brands by not releasing a mirrorless full frame lineup.
I'll take the Nikon Zf full frame over the Fuji.
He nailed it ! exactly what you see TH-camrs do , promote a camera system , and then purchase another … lol …
The worst ones promote one system but *at the same time* they actually use a different system for all their work and private photography. (I'm admittedly thinking of a particular, German-language, photography channel. The guy's promoting Nikon but exclusively uses Sony 😂)
@@CC3GROUNDZERO I think the point he’s trying to make is to not get easily swayed by “hype “ . as a photographer we use the tools that get the jobs done . And are not necessarily one particular system because it’s what TH-cam sold us . I have the canon 5ds , Fuji 50sii , & Sony a7r5 . I have no loyalty to one or the other . They simply fulfill different tasks . But unfortunately many fall for what’s recommended rather than what is needed . That’s what I got from this video …
@@LetiB76 Yeah... Did I say something that contradicts any of that? I'm just saying, I hate dishonest promo channels precisely because they're misleading newbies. After all, the very point of advertising is to get you to make the wrong choice.
This is getting so obnoxious. Everyone who hyped up the insta360 Ace and called it the death of GoPro still uses a GoPro.
You'll find this in the instrument/microphone community too. No one seems to use the "best" guitar or mic after two weeks even if they are allowed to keep them.
TH-cam reviews are worthless unless it's from someone who bought it from their money and has no monetary gain from their review.
I always find it funny when I see someone on TH-cam shooting Leica and praising their superior camera and then talk about how they edit their pics with Fuji, Kodak or other presets in Lightroom.
Why? If you like a certain look, but start with a better starting point, aren’t you still ahead?
How are you ahead if you don't get a final result you wanted out of your camera? I think pics SOOC on Leica's are great and it's fine to adjust some things as needed. When you use filters to take away the cameras characteristics and make the photos appear as though they were taken with a less expensive camera system just seems counterintuitive. That's what I like about my Fuji's and Lumix. My point is that I don't care what one does with their camera or photos but when someone gloats about doing this I just think they could have saved some money buy using a less expensive camera and then post process the files. To each their own.@@RandomTask1207
@@RandomTask1207 better in what way? Image quality difference is barely noticeable unless you do large prints. The cost difference compared to what you get does not make sense. For most people, a Fuji system is just much better than a Leica system financially
I had a Lincoln Continental almost 8 ltr, 10 mpg in the 80s, and a Kawasaki 500 triple Mach 111, now I have a bus pass and a Skoda, and lots off 10yr old second hand digital cameras and manual lenses, life is good!
You can have a Blad and an M6 outside work as your personal cameras. Old Blads can be found reasonably cheap. And I would get an M3 (way cheaper than an M6), especially if you shoot with a 50 and a 90...
i'm already switched back to Canon from Fuji =)
I'm a canon shooter contemplating adding fuji (gfx), can I ask you why you went back and from what?
@@mmeerdam i have a gfx 100s in my studio only for big projects. Rare ones. I have no pleassure much to use the 100s
I really enjoy using mine very much! Gives me a huge smile every time I use it. Even with its quirks. Character.
I disagree that everyone wants a Haselblad.
It's good that is your dream camera.
But I learned to shoot on a Minolta T301.
I love the reflex system and the fact the light that I see is the light that enters through the lens.
The simplicity of putting the eye to the viewfinder, matching the aperture and speed to the meter indicator, and pressing the shutter.
And while my Minolta is absolutely no ergonomic at all, my Nikons are.
I’d love a Hassy just not the style he likes. And it’s also reasonable thing to think somebody might not consider it a dream camera if they haven’t been doing this a long time.
my canon 5d mk 2 looking at a 722,000 + shutter count, Personally, a few years ago I had the Fuji X Pro 1 and it was of no use to me for field work one of the buttons broke
, I returned to Canon about 3 months later I like to have equipment that I can squeeze enough out before making a reinvestment.
Damn, thats like having a million mile car there. I'm thinking of picking up a 5D2 for dirt cheap with 254k on the shutter and i thought that was risky. Maybe I should just go for it. Still using 5D mk1.. with sigma art lens. Might grab an eos R when they get cheap but 5D II's just do the work. People underestimate how much it takes to fully resolve even a 20mp sensor.
@@mikafoxx2717 BUYIT
Definitely not from a business POV, but it definitely scratches that creative itch I enjoy from film. God, "recipes" and the ability to create your own is so enjoyable and it keeps me focused on what I want to shoot vs being too concerned about editing. Take a shot, looks great, on to the next one. Fuji is top tier.
100%. Fuji made me a JPEG shooter. I have my 6 preset recipes - and nearly all images I take are simply catalogued in Lightroom, and used without any edits - straight from the camera.
I still also save the RAWs, but that is as a failsafe in case I really messed up the exposure and need to save an image. (Plus, in a given year, I have 2-5 shoots such as the northern lights, landscapes, ...) where I use the Raws and spend more time editing the photos.
The recipes make the cameras so much more than what they should be.
Been on the fuji system for well over a decade and my reason for choosing it over the big three was Colour and the dials.
It always came down to colour for me; but the Dials on the older Fuji systems were a preference; I think about my light in thirds and the XT1 & XH1 at the time were the best that could offer me that and I still use the XH1 as my main camera.
The only cameras right now that could realistically get me off Fuji is the Nikon Z9, Hasselblad X2D the Leica SL2 But I cannot justify the price of any of their lenses either for the work I do.
color? Just shoot raw and adjust your color in lightroom. Dials....lol why do ppl like dials....idgi. I don't hate it....but it's not a reason I buy a camera.
Ive owned a few Fuji cameras, got bored with them and sold them. After the debacle with the X100V, where Fuji were unable to produce the camera for nearly TWO YEARS and them having to discontinue cameras to help produce other cameras, I would never trust them for anything as a professional photographer. They are for millennial hipster hobbyists with money to burn. Who is "everyone"? I havent seen anyone selling their Canon, Sony or Nikon gear to switch to Fuji....
I’m staying with the camera system I have my company doesn’t need to put out any more money than necessary what we have now gets the job done and it certainly isn’t Fuji !
It's simple. TH-camrs are the equivalent of a Hive mind
Everyones Switching to Fuji Cameras? Really?
Ok, I am definitely not regret for subscribing to your channel...☺ Good job! Waiting for continuing
"This is where we make money, to do stupid things at home". That is beautiful. Laughing my ass off, thank you!
I love my Fuji XT3s,they work for me and what I do. Do I need or want T5,not really. Would I like a GFX and associated bag of lenses,oh hell yes. But until the big bucks come my way, I'll defer .
X-T20 all the way.
Best sensor,
perfect size.
Don't waste your money!
TEAM FUJI!
Desirable design + tactile shooting experience + SOOC jpegs.
I switched from a system where I was constantly pixel peeping and worrying about technical perfection. Editing my images to shit. Now, on Fuji, I no longer do. I have my "discount Leica M6" in silver, I have my JPEG recipes and I just enjoy my shooting experience.
I shoot both Canon and Fuji, I use the R6 for business and X-H2 for pleasure. I would love to get into the GFX system!
My brain kept jumping to motorcycle mode reading that 😋
I love my GFX100. It’s five years old and still going strong. Hasselblad is trailing Fujifilm by years (and of course uses the same 102MP Sony sensor as Fujifilm). And Leica is no where near competitive on medium format. Phase One is wonderful but I can’t see its value outside of a studio.
It all depends on what you do. Nikon, Canon, Sony ,Fuji and Panasonic all scratch the itch of the various professions like sports, wildlife, wedding ,landscape hybrid,travel etc. It's nice to have so much choice as well as the super high end lica, phase 1 etc. the glass is a whole different game for sports, wildlife and god forbid film, where vintage movie lenses cost as much as a house. Really glad to hear you really like Fuji for your business. They make great kit
The humor is top notch on this channel I love it! 18 MPG is pretty good considering the smile the drive put on your face.
Use Fuji for my channel videos. Love it
Fuji's unique only for those who don't know how to memorize a color profile on their stuff by themselves.
I’m not that fussed about Fujis but really want to hear more about the car!
Fuji is lite the Cobtax G cameras
I'd love an M6 too, but film and processing is too expensive these days.
I would’ve loved to gone GFX100 but ended up with an P1 IQ4 instead.
My favorite cameras are my Hasselblad 503cw and my Zeiss Ikon 1963 Contessamat SE which I got for $13. I completely rebuilt it. Anything !! With a Zeiss Lens is fantastic. Sure. With the Hassy I would love a digital back.
I do have an old Barnack Leica IIIf with a Summaron 35mm and it takes lovely photos. Using Rollei RPX 100 film. Develop and scan at home with HC-110 (b). I am also using a Fuji X-T1.
It all works. I’m no pro but have fun. For other fun MF I use self restored Zeiss 6x6 and 6x9 folding cameras.
Love them.
Well…I have a Hassy X2D, Leica M10R, Leica Q2M, Nikon ZF…so, yes…looks matter to me….but so does IQ.
You’re not the only one
