I'm so happy that digital cameras have moved to an era where the image quality is basicly perfect in all of them and we can just focus more on personal preference. I mean of cource it has always been like that to some extent, but in the last 5 years it has really become more and more true that every camera is more then good enough for almost everything.
I love my X-T2, normally with a 27 on it. And I love the extra grand in my pocket that it would cost me to change it. Don`t fall for the iphone like new model consumer cycle. I love my X-T2, normally with a 27 on it.
I bought a used XT2 for $600 and really love the Fuji experience. I have a Sony A6600 and the Sigma trio of primes which work great in most situations, but I love the Fuji experience and the colors/film simulations. My Sony has IBIS, but I really don't miss it much in the XT2. I've been using a cheap 15-45 kit lens (that came with an X-t100 that I bought for my wife) and have been blown away by the colors and sharpness. Your lens reviews and recommendations are gold and will really help me with lens decisions in the future.
This made me smile, laugh and turned my day around. Thanks Omar. Also, I love a video which remains open to older and fully capable cameras. Love it on all counts!
I've just traded my x-e4 for an x-t2 - It might sound crazy to some but for how I shoot and for what I use the x-t2 isn't a downgrade. In fact, the extra stop of mechanical shutter speed, no touch screen (my focus point moves with the touch screen turned on which drives me crazy) and a more rugged body all count as upgrades to me. I live in the UK and changeable weather makes me nervous with the x-e4. I came from shooting Pentax, so I'm used to being able to take my camera anywhere. Granted, the X-T2 might not be as rugged as a K-3 but it's close. I'm very happy with my switch, plus I got money back on the trade in!
I upgraded from an X-T2 to an X-T4 so I'll add my two cents for anyone who may care or be in the same place. Not to disagree with Omar here, but I will; IMHO the only reason to buy (note: buy not upgrade) an X-T2 or X-T3 over the X-T4 is the money. It's a better camera than both in every regard. Not wanting to have so much $ wrapped up in your camera body is 100% valid and if that's the case, get a used X-T3 if you can swing it. If, however, you're thinking of buying the X-T2/3 over the X-T4 because those are "just as good", they are not. There will be no difference in image quality between the 3 and the 4 as it's the same sensor, however, the benefits of IBIS should not be understated. It's a game changer. I don't know anyone who shoots only in perfectly sunny daytime conditions. If that's the case, use an iPhone 11 Pro as it will take stunning pictures in good light. IBIS makes previously ungettable shots gettable (I know that's not a word) and greatly expands options in poor light. Ever want to take a shot at f4 or 5.6 in low light in order to achieve the depth of field or sharpness you're looking for? Guess what, the X-T4 can do it, the 2/3 can't without bumping the ISO way up to unusable levels. That alone is worth it to me. The IQ between the 2 and the 3/4 is 100% noticeable to my eye. Even in Omar's example here in the first minute of the video, I could see the difference. Put it up on a larger monitor or a TV and it will be extremely apparent. If you don't think you need the video stuff, I didn't either, but now that I have the 4 I'm finding I shoot video more often. It's so easy and seamless and I'm really liking the results especially with OIS lenses. The flippy screen on the 4 is annoying for the first couple days but you'll get used to it and it really is better for video. The larger size is really negligible. You can't fit the 2, 3, or 4 in your pocket comfortably so you'll end up bringing a bag or strap and, at that point, who cares? If size is that big a concern, get the X-T30. The larger size is actually more comfortable to hold in my hands especially with the larger lenses (YMMV of course). Sorry to prattle on but I hope it helps someone! I agonized over the decision and more points of view is always better than fewer.
I watched this when you posted it last year, and I took your advice and bought a near mint condition XT2 , for $530 and couldn’t be happier. I use it for imaging and as a superb webcam for all the Zoom meetings that now exist. Razor sharp video stream - all my colleagues ask me what camera do I use. Thanks for the effort you put into making these helpful videos.
@@StefanoScali yes, it has clean hdmi. You just need and hdmi to USB adapter. I use the full 50f2 , my Nikon 28mm 2.8D, and other Nikon lenses in MF mode. It works great.
I bought the XT-2 about a year ago and recently bought the x-100-v and somehow I still use the XT-2 way more. I think the XT-2 has something about it. I love the image quality and the general user experience and especially the horizontal lcd screen.
I am a Canon EOS R owner, but I must say, you hit it out of the ballpark with this funny and entertaining intro! It was so nostalgic it brought a ton of memories from the 70's and 80's when I used to watch the boxing fights on TV.
Best camera review intro... EVER !!! You're so cool dude !!! Very interesting because I'm considering an X-T4 and maybe an X-T3 would be enough for my needs as a compact APSC kit (I already own a complete Sony Alpha 7 set for serious work). Thanks and keep going with that kind of useful and funny videos !

Love this video! I am a happy owner of both! As a pro, still shooter I had two XT2s but upgraded one to the XT4 and don't feel the need to have two XT4s. Best of all worlds!
Since 2017 switched from Canon to XT2 for weddings and 2019 bought XH1, love it. Not planning to upgrade till at least 2024. Worked with EOS 5DMk2 for 7 years.
Paulo, having Canon FD lenses since 1978 and EOS later on, I just bought Fuji X-H1. Love it! Canon may have lost a madman on their gear. Always extremes answers to modern gear, forgetting all those advanced amateurs that follow them for ages. My question: do you use any adapter(s) for Canon lenses (L, mainly, of course) to your Fuji? Which ones would you recommend if so? Obrigado ;)
@@PauloParreira Olá Paulo. By now, my X-H1 has only the 16-80mm f:4 I bought recently. I intend to go on with another trio of Fujinon lenses, bu I still keep a lot of Canon gear. That's why I asked about any adapter known by experience. I'm studying a great list for both my FD lenses and EF lenses (wide and tele), with 0,71x and without: Viltrox, Fringer, Fotodiox Pro, K&F, Metabones and Novoflex. Ufff! I though you may had kept any Canon lens and so the adapter. Thank you anyway! Boas férias e bons clicks ;)
@@AMiguelOliveiraPhotography Olá. Still own a 400D with Sigma 18-200mm but not using it at all. Just hoping to sell it. Infelizmente agora, os cliques são muito poucos visto que os trabalhos foram todos cancelados ou adiados para o próximo ano.
Here's my issue with the flippy screen vs. not having one. ( I have both styles on different systems) I like them BOTH: I appreciate the flippy in difficult- and tight quarter- shooting situations where I need to have the screen at odd angles to frame a scene which my subjects may be moving...or to position my body at a 45 degree angle to discretely shoot this or that and still see the screen; or for helping a subject frame themselves selfie style etc. etc., but when I am out and about with my X-T2 with "just" the pull up/down/vertical screen, I love the compact nature of it and seldom miss the flipper. Each is just a tool in the end and as many sensible pros point out, it's ALL about how you will use said tool and if you actually need this or that feature.. (For me it's similar to the feature of a million frames per second or whatever shooting stills; I mean, not being a sports shooter earning a living by getting just that ONE moment in a million, I simply do . not. care. at. all. This goes also for the megapixel wars.(Anyone remember the Canon Rebels with what 10, 12 m's? I still have shots in my portfolio from this! Not to mention my film cameras) Anyway, back to the flippy vs not having one, I'm sure it's easy for me to say this because I've worked with an an articulating screen for years- perhaps I'm bored with them(?) but yeah, there is just something I really like about the X series without it. Can it be practical to have a flippy? Sure. Will you look like Uncle Bob with a camcorder? A little. (*but who cares haha.) But what do YOU need for YOUR needs in real life...in actual terms of usage? Don't be the guy who spends thousands just for the thrill of having the latest and greatest only to sell it for hundred months down the line...or the guy who has the latest and greatest camera but can't use it because he can't afford data storage space, a pc to edit the huge files, lights, better glass, fuel or means to get where you need to be to shoot. etc. etc. etc. Learn to love what you have and you'll have what you love. :-) Only upgrade if you genuinely neeeeed it. Ok. I'm done. Get the flippy. Get the non-flippy. Just get on with your life and capture life. Ok, NOW I'm done. Promise. :-)
I got the X-T2 and X-T3. I love them!! My husband is using the X-T2 now. We just bought the X-T3 recently although the X-T4 came out already. Best decision ever.
I have own an XT2. Do you feel like the EVF on the XT3 is actually larger than the EVF on the XT2? And do you notice a difference between the two EVFs? Thanks so much!
I never laughed so hard when the intro panned up to you and you having that "I just got caught look playing with my cameras". Hilarious . Keep up the great work and thank you
Totally agree. I picked up a used X-H1 for decent money and I wanted to try it out. I now have three fast primes to accompany it that I would never have considered with either my X-T20 or my full frame canon setup. Nb, the canon gear is now gone 😁
@@garethmcfarland7244 Honestly the sensor stabilization technology allowing for Primes image quality and light capabilities to be maximized has been a game changer. I have always love photography and got myself a canon system with my first few weeks of pay on my first job. Yet after that I never could afford any other lens from Canon. Forward on to the Xpro1 and a great sale I got into the fujifilm system. The lenes are fantastic quality, and the are a great price for what the are. The quality the images from the sensor on the xpro1 and xh1 (I also got a fantastic deal on this) means no processing on the computer for ever photo as they are all pretty much spot on. I'm so glad people are moving to Fuji as they are a great company. Bringing out updates to a Camara made in 2012 is amazing, customer service is spot on.
@@TheCoomer Absolutely. I own lenses now for my Fuji that wouldn't have dreamt of owning on my canon system. Furthermore those prime lenses for canon generally don't have stabilisation so it's a double whammy.
@@garethmcfarland7244 I have also noticed Fujifilm is now catering for those who want small lenses and for the larger lenes which if for more studio work. Best of both worlds
I went from the X-T3, to the X-H1, to the X-T4. and then dtched them all for the X-20. Loooove it. The trans 3 is my favorite sensor and anything bigger is too big. Thank you Omar!
I LOVEEEEE your videos!!!! Informative, funny, entertaining and always on target! THANK YOU! (Nikon Z6ii shooter and new x100v owner who is LOVING the little V....).
I’ve only just upgraded to an xt2!!!!! I bloody love it! I think I’d love the 3 but i just didn’t have the money or I’d prefer (as a hobby photographer) to spend it on making memories to take photos of. FAB FAB FAB VIDEO!!!! X
Lol that intro was truly entertaining. I love my x-t2, never even considered needing to upgrade. However, I am thinking about getting the x100v for a different form factor and shooting experience.
Still have 2x XT1 bodies I love the colour science of this camera sensor the XT2 is still in my stable but now my X-H1s reign supreme. It will be interesting to see what the X-H2 brings over the XT4 hopefully in 2021 !
Great video Omar, you have a point on the pricing in which there are a lot of other choices out there within the price range. But I think when buying a Fujifilm is like getting into a culture. The feel, the looks, the lenses, and the photo output from the jpegs.
Thanks for another great video Omar. Spot on with your review. For some of our fellow photographers the choice maybe down to their budget. For some video features maybe be important and for others photography.. In my experience generally all the fuji cameras have given great photo results and are now giving great video features. So I suppose as you said it's what suits your needs in your choice of camera you purchase.. but! remember! The best camera you have, is the one you are using. Just enjoy your photographic journey.. thanks again Omar. You make your viewers Smile. Cheers Steve
I own an xt3, flip out display looked very cheap to me, all my cheap cameras has that, the articulated display has a very pro feeling I love it... Also I have to admit... Xt2 iq is absolutely beautiful, colors and tonal range is more beautiful than xt3 and xt4... Theres something on the sensor that puts character to each image, xt3 and xt4 are kinda plain, more for editing but xt2 is beautiful without making any adjustment
Thank you for saying that. I own an xt-1 and xt2. And everytime I look at images on Instagram from the xt3 I can't help but think that they don't impress me as much as the images I see from the xt2 or the xh1 would share the same sensor. I've thought about upgrading to the three or the four but honestly I think I'm just going to stick with the camera bodies I have. And maybe get a couple more lenses LOL! Cheers!
Bought a (looks like new) silver one two years ago as an upgrade for my X-E1 (which I bought new). I use a lot of Fujinon legacy glass, and the viewfinder and focus peaking on the X-T1 are night and day compared to the X-E1. Can't see why I would upgrade again any time soon. These quality cameras are built to last.
Don't need 24+MP, some ergonomic improvements and ACROS with 2 compared to 1, but at more than twice the price. So I'm sticking with the X-T1 too, and the X-E2s.
Great intro Omar - that was hilarious and well done! With regrets I’m selling the X-T2. I have the T4 and H1, and Fuji is my “A” system, so I’m not really concerned about getting the smallest sized camera. In fact, the T4 and H1 feel better with the 16-55 & 50-140. But you’re right - the T2 is a heck of a camera and if I didn’t have the H1, I’d be happy with it as a B and street cam.
I have an XT10 and an XT2. I don't plan on upgrading any time soon. It's like when you get a new mobile, maybe a "faster" one comes out the following year but it doesn't make your existing one any worse
I have a blast watching your videos. Love the intro! Hilarious. You're probably one of the reasons I ended buying a Fujifilm XT-30 and loving it. Although, it would have been nice to have the ISO dial from the XT3. The XT4 just seemed too big and costly for just getting back into photography.
As a still photographer, the only things that make me want to upgrade the XT2 are the new sensor and IBIS. It would make my 90mm f2 much more usable in low light. However, there are many things I don't like about the XT4. Replacing metering mode with video buttons is a big blow for me since I change metering all the time. The fully articulating screen is also not very useful for me compared to the tilting screen. All in all, I still stick with my XT2 and am waiting for Fuji to release a photographer-focus camera with a new sensor and IBIS in the future.
Great video. I am a happy X-T3 owner and no plans to upgrade. With that said, while the price of the X-T4 is approaching full frame, you need to consider the cost of lenses and the size of lenses. IMO, that is where the cost of ownership analysis needs to be considered.
I've had an x-t20 for the past six years and love it, i really do and wont get rid of it. However I increasingly get frustrated that i need to delve in to menus / switches and focusing using the lower d pad button. It was particularly noticable to me when on holiday I want the full dial experience and have just today received a minty second hand x-t2. I've just popped out for a first snap session. I love that i now have all three exposure triangle as dedicated dials and to ficus with the joystick (like on my x100) miss a dedicated iso
Very informative and helpful comparison for me indeed as a very undecisive absolute beginner to this hobby, so thank you, Omar. Must have been over ten years I have spent pondering whether to embark on this journey. XT3, which might well be an overkill for me, now ordered. Excited much. :D By the way, love the intro.
Got the xt-2 a couple of month's ago used. Came with the 23mm f2 and 2 og battery's. Love that camera. Got a 14mm 2.8 and a 35mm f2 in the last 3 months. Thinking about the 55-200 now.. Honestly I think I'm going to get the xt-4 but about 2-3 years from now. I much rather widen my lens collection first..
I still use an X-T1 which doesn't even have the rubber grip anymore, haha. Planning on upgrading to X-T2 soonish! Maybe next year? Seriously, the X-T1 to X-T2 was the greatest leap forward for my uses and it's so good value now. I need neither IBIS nor video. I'd like the X-T2's improved speed (shorter black screen interruptions), better sensor and improved AF.
You were right when you said the best camera will depend on the viewer, but that’s a given. Anyway, nice comparison which I really enjoyed watching. A big thumbs up from me!
it's always a great time watching at your videos. XT2 is an amazing camera definitely, I have it for a year now and every day is a joy. I love watching the new features of the cameras I don't need, though.
X-T3 BABY! Fuji should have kept the X-T line photo centered and improved on the X-H line as their "Hybrid"(H) offering. Their APS-C Line should go like this: ~X-Pro Range Finder classic photo ~X-T SLR Style pro photo ~X-E Range Finder compact photo ~X-H SLR Style Hybrid photo/video Great videos, keep I up brotha. Love your podcasts too! Tell me what you think.
Omar You nailed the Intro 🤣🤣👌....now that's creativity right there! Still rocking my Xt2 en loving it too....Will only upgrade when my pocket says so for now will invest in lenses as Fuji has beautiful lenses out there and for now that's what my heart longs for!...Thanks for the review 😊✌
I am sorry I didn't hit the like button after first 5 seconds because... I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe!!! I did manage to hit the like button after 6 seconds. You are a true master of inspiring creations
Goddarnit Omar.. how did you even end up becoming a photographer? You sure could've made a career in animation voiceover/comedy. This is probably the best video you've ever made.. I nearly died laghing!
I notice the difference between the two sensors. The 24 MP is a better sensor for details and noise, that’s all their is to it! I have the X-T4 and I’m not happy about how badly the X-T4 handles hair, the X-T2/20 never muddied the hair like the newer sensor does and I’m debating just dropping the X System because of it (I’m talking the 16 F/1.4, 23 F/1.4, 35 F/1.4, and the 50 F/2, so I’m not using bad glass). Waiting to see what Fuji says about this before I decide.
Omar, love your videos! One thing you didn’t mention is low light performance. I deliberately didn’t buy a T3 but a second T2 because of this, and I have read comments by people that own the T4 and T2 and say that the T4 is definitely noisier in low light.
Very interesting. I've done comparisons between my XT1 and XT2 shooting the same subject with the same lens in low light. The XT1 actually allows me to shoot a full stop lower at least (ISO) than the T2. I guess it's because of 16mp vs 24mp on the same sized sensor.
@@muatao9943 thanks for the reply. I still own an XT1 in excellent condition but I seem to remember when upgrading to the XT2 that I didn’t notice a difference in low light performance, but I’ll have to do some tests again. Honestly, it was the focus joystick on the XT2 that was the biggest feature I wanted, but it’s also so much faster in processing and speed, not to mention the three auto ISO settings. And dual card slots.
@@Nathansmithphotography Yes I totally agree. Moving the focus point on the XT1 and unlocking the top dials can be annoying. Thanks for the response. Have a great rest of the week!

Don't forget about the XH1. Almost the same price as the xt2 on the used market, same features and with sensor stabilization
Since 2017 switched from Canon to XT2 for weddings and 2019 bought XH1, love it. Not planning to upgrade till at least 2024. Worked with EOS 5DMk2 for 7 years.
Paulo, having Canon FD lenses since 1978 and EOS later on, I just bought Fuji X-H1. Love it! Canon may have lost a madman on their gear. Always extremes answers to modern gear, forgetting all those advanced amateurs that follow them for ages. My question: do you use any adapter(s) for Canon lenses (L, mainly, of course) to your Fuji? Which ones would you recommend if so? Obrigado ;)
@@AMiguelOliveiraPhotography Olá Miguel. I switched all my gear. Xt2 + 18-55mm / Xh1 + 50-140mm / 10-24mm and a Xm1+ 27mm to play around.
@@PauloParreira Olá Paulo. By now, my X-H1 has only the 16-80mm f:4 I bought recently. I intend to go on with another trio of Fujinon lenses, bu I still keep a lot of Canon gear. That's why I asked about any adapter known by experience. I'm studying a great list for both my FD lenses and EF lenses (wide and tele), with 0,71x and without: Viltrox, Fringer, Fotodiox Pro, K&F, Metabones and Novoflex. Ufff! I though you may had kept any Canon lens and so the adapter. Thank you anyway! Boas férias e bons clicks ;)
@@AMiguelOliveiraPhotography Olá. Still own a 400D with Sigma 18-200mm but not using it at all. Just hoping to sell it. Infelizmente agora, os cliques são muito poucos visto que os trabalhos foram todos cancelados ou adiados para o próximo ano.
You just made me smile today. Thank you Omar, I needed that!
Just finished replacing shutter button on the board, never gonna let my salvaged X-T2 go away! With X-T20 they make such a cute couple!
Here's my issue with the flippy screen vs. not having one. ( I have both styles on different systems) I like them BOTH:
I appreciate the flippy in difficult- and tight quarter- shooting situations where I need to have the screen at odd angles to frame a scene which my subjects may be moving...or to position my body at a 45 degree angle to discretely shoot this or that and still see the screen; or for helping a subject frame themselves selfie style etc. etc., but when I am out and about with my X-T2 with "just" the pull up/down/vertical screen, I love the compact nature of it and seldom miss the flipper.
Each is just a tool in the end and as many sensible pros point out, it's ALL about how you will use said tool and if you actually need this or that feature.. (For me it's similar to the feature of a million frames per second or whatever shooting stills; I mean, not being a sports shooter earning a living by getting just that ONE moment in a million, I simply do . not. care. at. all.
This goes also for the megapixel wars.(Anyone remember the Canon Rebels with what 10, 12 m's? I still have shots in my portfolio from this! Not to mention my film cameras)
Anyway, back to the flippy vs not having one, I'm sure it's easy for me to say this because I've worked with an an articulating screen for years- perhaps I'm bored with them(?) but yeah, there is just something I really like about the X series without it.
Can it be practical to have a flippy? Sure. Will you look like Uncle Bob with a camcorder? A little. (*but who cares haha.) But what do YOU need for YOUR needs in real life...in actual terms of usage?
Don't be the guy who spends thousands just for the thrill of having the latest and greatest only to sell it for hundred months down the line...or the guy who has the latest and greatest camera but can't use it because he can't afford data storage space, a pc to edit the huge files, lights, better glass, fuel or means to get where you need to be to shoot. etc. etc. etc.
Learn to love what you have and you'll have what you love. :-) Only upgrade if you genuinely neeeeed it. Ok. I'm done.
Get the flippy. Get the non-flippy. Just get on with your life and capture life. Ok, NOW I'm done. Promise. :-)
I call the flippy screen the "Cat Mode." It's great for getting low-down shots of my cat!
I got the X-T2 and X-T3. I love them!! My husband is using the X-T2 now. We just bought the X-T3 recently although the X-T4 came out already. Best decision ever.
I have own an XT2. Do you feel like the EVF on the XT3 is actually larger than the EVF on the XT2? And do you notice a difference between the two EVFs? Thanks so much!
love this! Thanks Omar, sticking w my ever handsome XT2!
The amount of effort that went into that intro is INCREDIBLE. I think Omar is my best friend
I never laughed so hard when the intro panned up to you and you having that "I just got caught look playing with my cameras". Hilarious . Keep up the great work and thank you
Your intro seriously got me. You have a new subscriber!
Oh, having the Image stabilization in my xh1 has made all my primes so much better.
Totally agree. I picked up a used X-H1 for decent money and I wanted to try it out. I now have three fast primes to accompany it that I would never have considered with either my X-T20 or my full frame canon setup. Nb, the canon gear is now gone 😁
@@garethmcfarland7244 Honestly the sensor stabilization technology allowing for Primes image quality and light capabilities to be maximized has been a game changer. I have always love photography and got myself a canon system with my first few weeks of pay on my first job. Yet after that I never could afford any other lens from Canon. Forward on to the Xpro1 and a great sale I got into the fujifilm system. The lenes are fantastic quality, and the are a great price for what the are. The quality the images from the sensor on the xpro1 and xh1 (I also got a fantastic deal on this) means no processing on the computer for ever photo as they are all pretty much spot on. I'm so glad people are moving to Fuji as they are a great company. Bringing out updates to a Camara made in 2012 is amazing, customer service is spot on.
@@TheCoomer Absolutely. I own lenses now for my Fuji that wouldn't have dreamt of owning on my canon system. Furthermore those prime lenses for canon generally don't have stabilisation so it's a double whammy.
@@garethmcfarland7244 I have also noticed Fujifilm is now catering for those who want small lenses and for the larger lenes which if for more studio work. Best of both worlds
As a boxing fan that was one of the best intros on any video I've seen. Period. Keep them coming, Omar
I went from the X-T3, to the X-H1, to the X-T4. and then dtched them all for the X-20.
Loooove it. The trans 3 is my favorite sensor and anything bigger is too big. Thank you Omar!
XT2 is legend, a sweet spot.. Great intro Omar 👍
This was SUCH a pleasure to watch - love your style!
I love the introduction of this video. Very cool and creative !!
Congratulation, greatest intro so far!
THIS THE BEST VIDEO YOU MADE OMAR!!!!love it!!!
I LOVEEEEE your videos!!!! Informative, funny, entertaining and always on target! THANK YOU! (Nikon Z6ii shooter and new x100v owner who is LOVING the little V....).
Next level intro! Your content is always refreshing and enjoyable. Keep it up!
@omar that's the very best intro I have ever seen on any video about cameras 👍🏼😁 thank you!
I own an XT3 and I am more than happy. Great video btw. :)
I’ve only just upgraded to an xt2!!!!! I bloody love it! I think I’d love the 3 but i just didn’t have the money or I’d prefer (as a hobby photographer) to spend it on making memories to take photos of. FAB FAB FAB VIDEO!!!! X
Lol that intro was truly entertaining. I love my x-t2, never even considered needing to upgrade. However, I am thinking about getting the x100v for a different form factor and shooting experience.
Xt2 owner and proud ✌
Still shooting the XT1 lol. Well, and an XH1
@@jimmason8502 I have an xt1 also ✌
I bet you had a lot of fun making this brilliant video!
This intro is everything 😂😂😂 love it bro !
Literally yesterday sold my X-T2 for $650 and ordered X-Pro 3 in sexy Dura Black, this video is on time!
BTW You're such a talented video maker Omar!
Hey Omar, Simply love nearly all your videos. The title sequence of this one was really entertaining. Thank you!
The start of this video seriously had me cracking up! Some very good comedy and film stimulation!
Still have 2x XT1 bodies I love the colour science of this camera sensor the XT2 is still in my stable but now my X-H1s reign supreme.
It will be interesting to see what the X-H2 brings over the XT4 hopefully in 2021 !
Love the end of the intro! Top acting.
Great video Omar, you have a point on the pricing in which there are a lot of other choices out there within the price range. But I think when buying a Fujifilm is like getting into a culture. The feel, the looks, the lenses, and the photo output from the jpegs.
That intro earned you an instant sub, BOOOB (I mean Omar)
Great video. I have my XT2 and really do not feel that I need to upgrade. Still a great camera.
Love the ringside seats to the fight. So well done. That replay flip screen punch. Good stuff.
Thanks for another great video Omar. Spot on with your review. For some of our fellow photographers the choice maybe down to their budget. For some video features maybe be important and for others photography.. In my experience generally all the fuji cameras have given great photo results and are now giving great video features. So I suppose as you said it's what suits your needs in your choice of camera you purchase.. but! remember! The best camera you have, is the one you are using. Just enjoy your photographic journey.. thanks again Omar. You make your viewers Smile. Cheers Steve
Man that intro was fun.. good job mate
Great video! I got XT1 and am pretty happy with it.
I own an xt3, flip out display looked very cheap to me, all my cheap cameras has that, the articulated display has a very pro feeling I love it... Also I have to admit... Xt2 iq is absolutely beautiful, colors and tonal range is more beautiful than xt3 and xt4... Theres something on the sensor that puts character to each image, xt3 and xt4 are kinda plain, more for editing but xt2 is beautiful without making any adjustment
Thank you for saying that. I own an xt-1 and xt2. And everytime I look at images on Instagram from the xt3 I can't help but think that they don't impress me as much as the images I see from the xt2 or the xh1 would share the same sensor. I've thought about upgrading to the three or the four but honestly I think I'm just going to stick with the camera bodies I have. And maybe get a couple more lenses LOL! Cheers!
Who’s like me, still using the X-T1?
Still have mine 😉
Me :) changed from Olympus m43 recently
Bought a (looks like new) silver one two years ago as an upgrade for my X-E1 (which I bought new). I use a lot of Fujinon legacy glass, and the viewfinder and focus peaking on the X-T1 are night and day compared to the X-E1. Can't see why I would upgrade again any time soon. These quality cameras are built to last.
Don't need 24+MP, some ergonomic improvements and ACROS with 2 compared to 1, but at more than twice the price. So I'm sticking with the X-T1 too, and the X-E2s.
x-t1 still rocks in 2024 ! it's my dedicated vintage lens camera
Great intro Omar - that was hilarious and well done! With regrets I’m selling the X-T2. I have the T4 and H1, and Fuji is my “A” system, so I’m not really concerned about getting the smallest sized camera. In fact, the T4 and H1 feel better with the 16-55 & 50-140. But you’re right - the T2 is a heck of a camera and if I didn’t have the H1, I’d be happy with it as a B and street cam.
Still have my XT2 and love it. Well I had it for 2 years
I loved the intro! Great summary Omar!
Excelent reviews ... candid, focused, and very useful ...
I have an XT10 and an XT2. I don't plan on upgrading any time soon. It's like when you get a new mobile, maybe a "faster" one comes out the following year but it doesn't make your existing one any worse
I have a blast watching your videos. Love the intro! Hilarious. You're probably one of the reasons I ended buying a Fujifilm XT-30 and loving it. Although, it would have been nice to have the ISO dial from the XT3. The XT4 just seemed too big and costly for just getting back into photography.
Still rockin with my xt2 ✌🏻😁
This is hands down your number 1 video and the best comparison between these two bad boys 😅
As a still photographer, the only things that make me want to upgrade the XT2 are the new sensor and IBIS. It would make my 90mm f2 much more usable in low light. However, there are many things I don't like about the XT4. Replacing metering mode with video buttons is a big blow for me since I change metering all the time. The fully articulating screen is also not very useful for me compared to the tilting screen.
All in all, I still stick with my XT2 and am waiting for Fuji to release a photographer-focus camera with a new sensor and IBIS in the future.
Great video. I am a happy X-T3 owner and no plans to upgrade. With that said, while the price of the X-T4 is approaching full frame, you need to consider the cost of lenses and the size of lenses. IMO, that is where the cost of ownership analysis needs to be considered.
SO GOOD Omar!! Loved the opening!
Well done! Can't imagine the work behind the scenes for that intro!
I've had an x-t20 for the past six years and love it, i really do and wont get rid of it. However I increasingly get frustrated that i need to delve in to menus / switches and focusing using the lower d pad button. It was particularly noticable to me when on holiday I want the full dial experience and have just today received a minty second hand x-t2. I've just popped out for a first snap session. I love that i now have all three exposure triangle as dedicated dials and to ficus with the joystick (like on my x100) miss a dedicated iso
Very informative and helpful comparison for me indeed as a very undecisive absolute beginner to this hobby, so thank you, Omar. Must have been over ten years I have spent pondering whether to embark on this journey. XT3, which might well be an overkill for me, now ordered. Excited much. :D By the way, love the intro.
Enjoy!!
@@ogonzilla Thanks, Omar. I will do my very best. :D
I have just grabbed a X-T2 last month and I love it.
Got the xt-2 a couple of month's ago used. Came with the 23mm f2 and 2 og battery's. Love that camera. Got a 14mm 2.8 and a 35mm f2 in the last 3 months. Thinking about the 55-200 now.. Honestly I think I'm going to get the xt-4 but about 2-3 years from now. I much rather widen my lens collection first..
Still happy with my xt2 as a 95% stills shooter and since I don't even have all the lenses I want yet, the money will be invested there first :)
I still use an X-T1 which doesn't even have the rubber grip anymore, haha. Planning on upgrading to X-T2 soonish! Maybe next year? Seriously, the X-T1 to X-T2 was the greatest leap forward for my uses and it's so good value now. I need neither IBIS nor video. I'd like the X-T2's improved speed (shorter black screen interruptions), better sensor and improved AF.
Great video as always omar. Always entertained when watching your videos
You were right when you said the best camera will depend on the viewer, but that’s a given. Anyway, nice comparison which I really enjoyed watching. A big thumbs up from me!
it's always a great time watching at your videos. XT2 is an amazing camera definitely, I have it for a year now and every day is a joy.
I love watching the new features of the cameras I don't need, though.
X-T3 BABY!
Fuji should have kept the X-T line photo centered and improved on the X-H line as their "Hybrid"(H) offering.
Their APS-C Line should go like this:
~X-Pro Range Finder classic photo
~X-T SLR Style pro photo
~X-E Range Finder compact photo
~X-H SLR Style Hybrid photo/video
Great videos, keep I up brotha. Love your podcasts too!
Tell me what you think.
Great Video 👍 Omar😎 a few weeks ago I decided for the fuji xt 3 and I am more than enthusiastic about it 😎
Omar You nailed the Intro 🤣🤣👌....now that's creativity right there! Still rocking my Xt2 en loving it too....Will only upgrade when my pocket says so for now will invest in lenses as Fuji has beautiful lenses out there and for now that's what my heart longs for!...Thanks for the review 😊✌
I am sorry I didn't hit the like button after first 5 seconds because... I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe!!! I did manage to hit the like button after 6 seconds. You are a true master of inspiring creations
Goddarnit Omar.. how did you even end up becoming a photographer? You sure could've made a career in animation voiceover/comedy. This is probably the best video you've ever made.. I nearly died laghing!
Great video, Howard! ... as always!
I would love the X-T4 even when i can't afford it if it didn't have the articulated screen xD. Had a lot of fun watching your video!
Great review - your points are spot on!
Great video! I own the x-t4 and just picked up the x-t2 for a second body, used and good price.
I notice the difference between the two sensors. The 24 MP is a better sensor for details and noise, that’s all their is to it! I have the X-T4 and I’m not happy about how badly the X-T4 handles hair, the X-T2/20 never muddied the hair like the newer sensor does and I’m debating just dropping the X System because of it (I’m talking the 16 F/1.4, 23 F/1.4, 35 F/1.4, and the 50 F/2, so I’m not using bad glass). Waiting to see what Fuji says about this before I decide.
That intro gave me life. 10/10 amazing. Amazing!!!!!!
Omar, love your videos! One thing you didn’t mention is low light performance. I deliberately didn’t buy a T3 but a second T2 because of this, and I have read comments by people that own the T4 and T2 and say that the T4 is definitely noisier in low light.
Very interesting. I've done comparisons between my XT1 and XT2 shooting the same subject with the same lens in low light. The XT1 actually allows me to shoot a full stop lower at least (ISO) than the T2. I guess it's because of 16mp vs 24mp on the same sized sensor.
@@muatao9943 thanks for the reply. I still own an XT1 in excellent condition but I seem to remember when upgrading to the XT2 that I didn’t notice a difference in low light performance, but I’ll have to do some tests again. Honestly, it was the focus joystick on the XT2 that was the biggest feature I wanted, but it’s also so much faster in processing and speed, not to mention the three auto ISO settings. And dual card slots.
@@Nathansmithphotography Yes I totally agree. Moving the focus point on the XT1 and unlocking the top dials can be annoying. Thanks for the response. Have a great rest of the week!
