Fuji X-T3, made in China, best value for the money? ... sorry, no way! Fujis cameras are all great, but perhaps X-T1 an X-T2 are the greatest of all. X-T3,4 & 5 are more sofisticated, but the best was the original and at most the successor. Unfortunately, with these cameras the release has its life over, more or less in most of times and at least Fuji can no longer repair an X-T1.
With all the firmware updates they transformed this camera in a XT1 II or something. When the model came out it did not have an electronisc shutter for instance.
A good photo is taken by the photographer... and not the camera... the X-T1 is more than enough. A good meal is made by the cook and not the pan! But how we allow ourselves to be manipulated by the industry! I will never sell my two X-T1's! Greetings from a Swiss living in the Caribbean❤
Good video! Between the X-T1 and the X-E1, which would you recommend the most? Considering that now you have tested most of the X-Trans sensors, would the X-Trans 1 in the X-E1 outweighs the feel and performance of an X-T1? I am looking for a spare Fuji camera to pair with cheap/vintage lenses that I can take in the (not so safe) streets of my city.
I would say xt1 it has bether peaking. the color differences between the xtrans sensors it's as big as Internet so times says. th-cam.com/video/KEuObyiTHZI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eNAWTheItgufVLEl
Agreed, X-T1 is overall much better camera than X-E1 hands down. Speaking from someone who owns both cameras. But I do like the X-E1’s “range finder” form factor… I have a big nose 😃
Thanks! I enjoy the fujinon f2lenses for it's size and quick fokus. besides that the ttArtisan 27mm f.2.8, viltrox 23m f1. 4 and the Zeiss Toiuit 32mm are my most used lenses.
Hej Kim, Jag har en xpro1 och xt1 och föredrar xpro1 sensorn och "form factor" + den optiska sökaren. Annars xt1 är mycket bättre när jag använder vintage objektiv. Riktigt bra videor du gör! Ha det bra! /Michel
Each Fuji X-Trans sensor generation has a slightly different color rendering and it comes down to personal preferences which one you like the most 🤷🏼. Older sensors gen I and II are slightly warmer and gen III and up are slightly colder, it is most apparent in the way they render red colors.
I made video where I compare all 5 th-cam.com/video/KEuObyiTHZI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6x-K9JxJUHHaTkhx i don't think you can generally say that some are warmer since some tones acts different on dirrefent sensors. My skinetones are colder on xtrans 1
500 USD sounds much tho it's brand new so perhaps its a good price. You could probably get an XT2 for the same cash. However both the X-T1 and X-T4 are good cameras that can make amazing images. Don't forget the lenses, if its not a budget question perhaps the X-T4 with nice lens is the way to go. But if its a budget question i rather take an X-T1 with a good lens. Personally i think X-T3 is best value for the money at the money when it comes to Fuji film, i bought mine for 600UDS
the fact still remain that the fuji cameras where you can read made in China on are of worse quality that those who was made in Japan xt5 is crap compared to the older xt models
@@frankartale1026 yes, things can be made with high quality everywhere. My point though is that the Fujifilm XT cameras that are made in Japan are clearly of better than quality than those who is not. It's absolut obvious by just holding it in your hands.
The indeed have a special vibe! you should check out my video where I compare the five regular x-trans sensors. th-cam.com/video/KEuObyiTHZI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X1Mhvlny64Q-_MiK
I just bought a used X-T1 as a backup to my X-T2. So, I can't wait to test it against the X-T2 which does a superb job with my landscape/street photos. I have 3 great lenses as well and will be getting a completely manual focus one down the road. Thanks for the video.
@@ihavenoideahelp5239 It does a great job in my opinion. I mainly will be setting it up for black and white, street photography and adding some film simulations from Fuji Weekly, which you can find online at their website, along with TH-cam Videos where users share some of their favorites.
highly subjective, personally I don't aggre the x trans are over all bether. I used the super ccd when they were new but also in modern times I even made a film on the S5 At certain points those sensors are better, especially on skintones.But overall I think x-trans are bether but I wish that ccd was aroudb longer, just imagine if we keep develop those what we might had :) heres the S5 film th-cam.com/video/C6-13vOzbso/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yzaeBLSp4YcyvqFY
I am planning to buy a fujifilm to get into the world of photograpy seriously, may i ask what is the lens you are using ? I am looking into similar lens to shoot people and faces similar to your samples shown !! thanks for the video !! looking for first mirrorless camera ! coming from point and shoot sony camera !!
Firmware 2023 = 1/32.000e electronic speed...
I was heavily researching for my first fuji camera and you sold me on the X-T1. Thanks Kim!
Did you buy it? How is it

I don't agree xt3 is best value for the money on fuji in my opinion, good sensor and performance, combined with 10bit video recording
For stills, I prefer my x-t1 over my X-T2 which I have now sold and kept the 1
Still have Fuji Xt1 and still use it, specially with 56mm f1.2 , awesome for portrait 📸😍
How is the autofocus?
@@ihavenoideahelp5239 accurate and very fast responding 👌👌👌
Thanks for the review. My only camera is the X-T1. Just one question. What lens did you used for the photos of the video?
Thanks a lot
it's a nice only camera to have.
I used Mieke 23mm, a minolta vintage 28mm and the fujinon 23mm f2 on the images in this video.
With all the firmware updates they transformed this camera in a XT1 II or something. When the model came out it did not have an electronisc shutter for instance.
back in the good old days when fuji kaizen was a thing!

Do you know what kind of lenses you were using for the Fujifilm xt1?
many wonderful images. thanks for the effort and sharing. i use my XT-1 and XT-2 on a daily basis. do you have a favorite lens? thumbs up.
Thanks!

Should I get xt1 or xt2 ? Can I use xt1 for video too ?

Tack Michael!
form factor på xpro modellerna är fantastiskt!
lika så föredrar jag sensorn i xpro1 mer men x-trans 5 sensorn är riktigt bra med!

Hi, i want purchase this model since i saw one for brand new at around 500 usd. Is this a good buy? Choosing this and a xt4.

I love that you call the body the "house". And now I will too.
hmm never thought about it we called it camera house translated from Swedish 🤔🎥😑
Coo video. How did you get the shutter release on the XT-1?
there is those that goes on with m3 tape
@@Kim_Alexander Ohh, okay. Got it. Will look into it. Thank you.
IS your camera pretty scratched or maybe you should clean your camera more before videos?

@@Kim_Alexander i believe you. I have heard this before when the XT3 came out. I only ever had the XT1
should i buy one second hand shutter at 5k?
i dont understand what you askin.
If you should by a second hand camera with a shuter count of 5k - sure go for it,, it's as good as new
@@Kim_Alexander yes that’s what im asking thank you.
@@schizotales sounds like a lucky find that shutter count is two weeks of shooting for me

why,. it will just get dirty again.. 🤔
my reviews are based on user experience, dirt, wear and tear is a part of that story..
I would dare to say, the super CCD on Fuji DSLRs are better than any of the XTrans. 😊
highly subjective, personally I don't aggre the x trans are over all bether. I used the super ccd when they were new but also in modern times I even made a film on the S5
