Hi! Amazing Video. I wish, I saw your videos 6 yrs. ago . You inspired me, to experience , the new world of Fuji system. I am from the old school, & seeing your video reminds me of of the Golden days of photography. I got my Fuji X M1, yesterday, & its an awesome camera. Very light, small & good to carry around. ( Very good & handy for travel photography) . Thank you so much.
Excellent images, and a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing this. I am very, very tempted to invest in the X-series. Do the other X-series cameras have these advanced filter effects built-in as well?
The Fujifilm X-E2 has these advanced filters and then some, plus a nice selection of more Film Simulation modes. The X-Pro-1 and X-E2 also offers Motion Panorama, which I think is very useful for creating some exciting professional images. The sensors the X series have, also provide amazing tack sharp resolution. I wouldn't mind owning the Fujifilm X-E2
How happy I am being able to follow your advice concerning my brand new Fuji XM1 as I am a complete beginner !! I learn so much thanks to your clear explanations and answers to the questions I had concerning that camera..Many thanks and of course, I suscribe to your great videos... Nathalie
I am now the proud owner of the xm1. You are right, it is a gem. For now I have one question: auto iso only goes up to 6400. `is there a way to override this? So: auto iso beyond 6400?
While I no longer own the X-M1, I believe you can find what you are looking for on pg. 47 of the manual. You can "choose from values between 200 and 6400, or select L(100, H (1280) or H (25600) for special situations."
This is a great display for the very usable 16-50mm 3.5 lens. Not that easy to find on TH-cam. Wish you had done some more closeup on this second half.
...hello, only to say (but possibly you are in the known) that you can use these effects in all the X series range; all; included the smallest XF1 and XQ2
Thank you for you review. Hello, i doesn't really try any DSLR cameras except for compact cameras, but now I am planning to buy the Fuj -X-E1 or sony NEX-6 but I am getting in love with the advance filter with X-M1. I do hiking and going to the beach, and I think my problem is the view finder when it comes to sunny days. Can I hook a view finder on this camera?
thanks for the review..i found that x-t1 is a great camera and thinking of buying the x-t1..but i can't afford the x-t1..would it be worth if i spend my money on this x-m1 instead of x-t1??
Yes, if the Fujifilm X-T1 is currently not in your budget, by all means consider the X-M1. Both have amazing sensors and are capable of producing outstanding images. When I use my X-M1, I like the fact that I have a tilt screen and use it quite often. I do however, miss the viewfinder at times. The X-T1 can always be purchased down the road and that would leave you with 2 X series camera bodies to which you can also add more lenses.
Thank you for your review.. very nice. I would like to know which lens that you use with your X-M1? is it 16-50mm? i am newbie.. need you kindly advice. thanks
Jeffry Ciputra Thank you! Yes, it's the 16-50mm lens that was offered as a kit. While the lens lacks in weight & build quality, I was surprised at the sharpness it produces. The lightweight and size of this lens along with the amazing X-M1, makes it great for travel and easy to always have it with you.
Thanks for this review. I think I'm now settled in purchasing this instead of its big brothers that are very expensive (for me). Anyway, what video editing software did you use for this video? thanks again ... cheers!
Yes, as amazing as the Fuji X-M1 is in image quality, and I can get the same beautiful images as the X-Pro 1 & X-E1 produces, I do at times miss the viewfinder. Plus, the weather resistant and magnesium body and overall build quality and additional features of the Fuji X-T1 or the X-E2, make them a top camera of choice for professional photographers. I wouldn't mind owning the Fuji X-T1 or the X-E2. For my video editing software I currently use Sony Movie Studio 12. I tried using other programs including Adobe Premier, but found Sony Movie Studio best fits my needs. If I were to ever need more than 20 tracks, then I may consider moving up to Sony Vegas Pro.
Hi, do you believe this is still an up-to-date camera? In my country it is priced at 399€ while the x-a2 is priced at 499€, which one do you fell is a better choice? Thank you
+Rui Moreira While I am still a happy Fuji X-M1 user and don't own the X-A2, looking at the specs the X-A2 and X-M1 have many identical features. The XA2 has a few extra perks such as a slight increase of 60 frames per battery charge, the additional CLASSIC CHROME added to the film simulation mode and of course the X-A2 has a CMOS sensor vesrsus the X-Trans CMOS sensor in the X-M1. I personally have not tested the two cameras but for me I'm still happy using the X-M1 and not sure if it makes all that much difference when it come down to it. Both cameras have the capability of producing outstanding images, even by today's standards. The rest is up to the photographer. I do miss that my X-M1 does not have a viewfinder, since it's a little difficult seeing the LCD screen in bright sunlight. However, this does not affect image quality and I guess that's why Fuji makes the other models that have a viewfinder.
Hi, I just purchased X-M1 a month ago, I haven't really tried the "advanced mode" until I watched this video, so thank you! I'm curious, other then the kit lens, what other lens would you recommend for this camera? I take pictures for my blog, mostly travel pictures, so it could be landscape, street scene, architecture. I'd like something versatile, preferably wide angle.
One thing I really like about Fuji's 16-50mm lens is that it covers a nice wide focal length range for travel. For a faster lens and a bit wider, the Fujinon XF14mmF2.8 R is a spectacular ultra wide lens by Fuji that would be great for landscapes and architecture photography. On the longer focal length side, I really like the FUJINON XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR lens, as this is a fast, super sharp lens that would be great for portraits, weddings, photojournalism, etc., although a bit pricey. Another option would be the Fujifilm XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Lens. This is a reasonably priced tele lens that would be great for portraits, weddings, etc. Both of these lenses take over where the 16-50mm leaves off.
photography is a new hobby. years back I started with Sony Cyber shots then canon IXUS, then Panasonix lumix and graduated to sony mirrorless A6. Now I want to buy low cost yet good FUJI camera in budget around $300~$500 . please give me your opinion about Fujifilm digital cameras vs canon - sony - nikon.
Yes, as far as image quality goes. However, the X-M1 was released 8 years ago and there are some replacement models that have several updated features. As an example, Fuji's X-A7 has 24 MP vs XM-1's 16MP, a fully articular touch screen, a microphone port, smartphone remote, slightly larger and better resolution LCD screen and shoots 4K video. These are some of the advantages of the newer tech replacement models. I do like the fact that the X-M1 does not have an anti-aliasing filter which results in crisp sharp images. If you do not need 4K video and some of the other features listed above, the Fujifilm X-M1 is still good by today's standard.
I love your photos! I've started looking for a new camera & it seems that most of them have creative filters like the X-M1. However, most of them look rather hokey and heavy handed, where as your photos are more subtle and beautiful. Do you think similar effects can be achieved with any good mirrorless camera nowadays, or are the creative filters in the Fujis just better?
The warning about walking about alone in this video is amusing as a Brit. The wooded areas in the UK are devoid of wild animals that could give you any trouble, nothing bigger than a squirrel mainly. And the bad guys stick to the cities.
Great video and very helpful! I am thinking to buy X-M1 camera and I am curious is there a possibility to turn off shutter sound? (because I found on some forum that it is not possible and it sounds strange...) Thanks :)
Mirjana NenadThank you. I looked on the menu of my X-M1, but the only sound-off I could find is the sound to turn off focus sound. The shutter sound is still audible.
I'm debating on camera choices as I am a beginner. I want to focus on people and learn how to capture candid shots. Between the Fujifilm XM-1 and the D7000 which would you choose? I would like to start to learn how to blur out the backround as well but cannot afford another lens. which would be best for that? Thank you
+A H The Fuji X-M1 (Mirrorless) and the Nikon D7000 (DSLR) are very different cameras. While the X-M1 takes beautiful & sharp images. It is without a viewfinder. I like both cameras and use the X-M1 when I want to travel light. I have used the Nikon D7000 for portrait and wedding photography. The Fujifilm X-T10 would be a better choice for portraits and candids. If it were me, I'd choose the D7000 or X-T10 for more serious photography of people and candid photography. While it is hard for me to recommend a lens for someone else, here's my advice: If you are on a budget and want to go into a zoom lens, consider a Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens. I have used this lens for several years and still do. It can be found used on ebay and I just checked, currently Adorama has a good used one for only $104. This is a great price and deserves a serious look while it is still available. www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20632881.html?hotlink=t&svfor=5m&gclid=Cj0KEQiArJe1BRDe_uz1uu-QjvYBEiQACUj6osk_pI4S-jJL2GsLNmsY-CF1PXadKrSyY3Ab8sR76XgaAh-18P8HAQ If money is not an issue, consider Nikon's 70-200mm f2.8 or even the f4 lens. For a good prime lens, Nikon has a 50mm f1.4 or f1.8 that would help you isolate your subject for nice background blur. If the budget allows, consider Nikon's 85mm f1.4 or f1.8. This is an amazing lens for portraits, candids and sports.
+photofonz Thank you so much for your quick reply! I will take everything you have said into consideration. I can't thank you enough. I was totally overwhelmed with the process and you have definitely helped! Your videos are great! I can't wait to watch more and learn more from you. thanks again Brooke
While the two cameras have different sensors, ( x-trans for the Fujifilm X-M1 versus Bayer for the X-A1), these cameras are very similar and can be debated as to which is the better of the two. I still use and like my X-M1, but I probably would be just as happy with an X-A1. For an in-depth comparison and shootout between the X-M1 and the X-A1, there is a great artical in Fuji Rumors by Rico Pfirstinger at: www.fujirumors.com/x-a1-vs-x-m1-the-shootout/
I HAVE RECENTLY GOT THE XM1, AFTER OWNING THE X100, AND THE X10. I DO FIND THE IMAGES FROM THE X TRANS SENSOR A BIT PLASTICY LOOKING COMPARED TO THE OLDER SENSOR. IS THERE A SPECIAL WAY TO SET UP THE XM1??
Yes, I find the X-M1 has a different look than my Nikons. I have my Fuji set to Velvia in the Film Simulation mode, as I use the X-M1 more for travel and landscape photography. You can test the different Film Simulation modes and pick one that gives you look that you like best.
photofonz i sold my origanal x100, and x10, they were pre ex-trans sensor, and lovely colours. the only advantage i have noticed with the xm1 is noisles high iso files.i will do some minus things in the q menu, may get lucky. kind regards from eddie.
Funny the "toy camera" filter reminds me of how a cheap plastic lensed camera like an old agfa or instamatic camera might present with poor lens coverage at the corners. I never thought someone would actually try to reproduce that! But they do it well, not a bad effect. This way the center is sharp where a plastic lens would not be.
Fuji offers a mount adapter that allows the use of a wide variety of M Mount lenses on the X Mount camera bodies. It is built with a three-part structure that uses optimum materials for each of the components, to accommodate perfect fitting with high precision. Although I have not used them on my Fuji X-M1, Zeiss, Samyang and other manufacturers offer quality lenses with the M mount that fit the Fuji X series cameras. Fuji also makes some extraordinary lens.
X-mount lenses, Xc & XF one, that are really excellent quality built. An adapter allow you to use M-mount lenses too, so plenty of new quality choices are offered. Anyway the many lenses that are proposed for this X-M1 are covering a lots of need, and are really great and compact.
The battery for the Fuji X-M1 must be charged in the battery charger that comes supplied with the camera. Although, the charge last for about 350 frames with the XF35mmF1.4 R lens according to Fujifilmusa, I've gotten more on my XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS Lens. I also carry a spare battery with me should I decide to go on a photo shooting spree and used it on several occassions. I've gotten to really like the Fujifilm X-M1!
Alex TheGreat Yes, there are several features that holds back a reasonable pro level rating. All are in the the feature category like the Fujifilm X-M1 has no viewfinder and external mic jack. It does however, have a tilt LCD screen which I use quite often and I also find the advanced filters quite useful for landscape photography. Although, it lacks a few features, it does not lack image quality. I use this camera when I want to cut down on camera size and weight while still being able to produce superb images.
Yes, the Fuji X-E2 has the same advanced filter modes plus more film simulations modes as well. And with the Viewfinder, the X-E2 and the X-T1 will knock your socks off!!
photofonz Thank you, I have finally decided to go with the XE2. Overall it looks like the best value with all the latest technology plus the killer viewfinder. I heard Fuji is having another sale starting May 5th.
Just received the xe2 and it is fantastic. One thing I noticed, when under florescent lights I have banner roll which is the horizontal lines that appear on the lid and evf. Is this normal?
Yes, they should. Or at least Fuji can send me to try out what I think would be my favorite Fuji camera to date, and that would be the X-E2. ;-) But, I do like to report on products that I believe in and work well and Fuji has been one of my favorite companies since the early days of digital photography when I purchased my first DSLR, the Fuji S2. Thanks!
photofonz I want to buy a Fuji myself. I'm going to wait until they produce something like the X100s but with interchangeable lenses and a touchscreen. Maybe someone should suggest that to them.
Yes! The Fujifilm X-A5 along with the X-A3, A-1 & X-M1 are great cameras for what they are. They can provide excellent image quality in a relatively small size and light weight body that makes them easy to travel with. Keep in mind they do not have a viewfinder. In short, the X-A5 is the better of this series.

Where is velvia setting
would you please tell me which one is better - Fujifilm X-A1 or the Fujifilm X-M1

Alex TheGreat Yes, there are several features that holds back a reasonable pro level rating. All are in the the feature category like the Fujifilm X-M1 has no viewfinder and external mic jack. It does however, have a tilt LCD screen which I use quite often and I also find the advanced filters quite useful for landscape photography. Although, it lacks a few features, it does not lack image quality. I use this camera when I want to cut down on camera size and weight while still being able to produce superb images.
Nice video. Does the xe2 have these special effects settings.
Yes, the Fuji X-E2 has the same advanced filter modes plus more film simulations modes as well. And with the Viewfinder, the X-E2 and the X-T1 will knock your socks off!!
photofonz Thank you, I have finally decided to go with the XE2. Overall it looks like the best value with all the latest technology plus the killer viewfinder. I heard Fuji is having another sale starting May 5th.
Just received the xe2 and it is fantastic. One thing I noticed, when under florescent lights I have banner roll which is the horizontal lines that appear on the lid and evf. Is this normal?
can the built-in flash of the x-m1 be tilted up for bounce flash effect?
+Alvin Jay Sadava Yes, the built in flash on the Fuji X-M1 can be tilted up to bounce off the ceiling and it works very well. I use it quite often.
Helpful video. Fuji should be paying you for promoting their wares!
Yes, they should. Or at least Fuji can send me to try out what I think would be my favorite Fuji camera to date, and that would be the X-E2. ;-)
But, I do like to report on products that I believe in and work well and Fuji has been one of my favorite companies since the early days of digital photography when I purchased my first DSLR, the Fuji S2. Thanks!

I want to buy a Fuji myself. I'm going to wait until they produce something like the X100s but with interchangeable lenses and a touchscreen. Maybe someone should suggest that to them.
FUJIFILM Camera Remote APP CAN'T COM PORTABLE WITH Fujifilm X-M1?
ANY APP ?
Fujifilm xa5 is good? For now?
Yes! The Fujifilm X-A5 along with the X-A3, A-1 & X-M1 are great cameras for what they are. They can provide excellent image quality in a relatively small size and light weight body that makes them easy to travel with. Keep in mind they do not have a viewfinder. In short, the X-A5 is the better of this series.
Thanks.so.much
id get this if it had some sort of view finder.
the X-M1 is basically the baby version of the X-E4
Look at the pretty pink chemtrails
