In this video, I lay out why I decided to switch cameras, from Canon to Fujifilm. I had shot Canon for a long time, using everything from a 5D Mark IV to the Canon R6. But I've officially switched my entire camera setup to Fujifilm, with the X-T4!

I switched to FUjifilm from Canon in 2017 and it was the best decision I could have made.
I love my Fuji!
@@PaulStrople EXACTLY,
Nice..
You need a new youtube profile photo though. 🤭 Just saying..peace
@@iamjhunelleph215 You’re right, very good point. Thank you.
I did too. But recently sold all my Fuji after owning my R6 for a year. I mainly shoot car pics and Fuji colors were not accurate. All the red brake calipers on cars lost color information fast in raw processing.
Fuji is fun for personal pics, but professional pics where accurate color information is needed, the R6 is in another league.
Still have a X-t1 though. I can’t part with that one.
Nice beanie. Stumbled across this as I’m impatiently waiting for my XT4 to deliver and have been watching reviews to pass the time. It’s nice to see someone wearing something like that.👌
Thank you! I too was watching a ton of reviews to pass the waiting time for mine hahaha. Glad I could make the wait a little easier! God bless!
anyone coming to Fuji we welcome you🤠...thanks Paul....I still shoot with the XT2 and still loving the colours...even the black and whites are aesthetic 😜🤌
Why thank you sir. I’ve got a friend that still shoots X-T2. I haven’t messed with black and whites much, but that’s a rabbit hole I want to jump down at some point for sure!
I switched over to Fuji from the Canon R6 for the exact same reason. I dreaded coming home to have to edit and work extremely hard to get an ok image. It was an expensive switch but not one day goes by where I miss the Canon for any reason. I'm extremely happy with Fuji.
Funny cause I had the worst time in post with Fuji color. I take car pics though. Blues were always 20 shades off and reds were always chrome like. Not accurate at all.
It all depends on what you shoot.
@@ryanb8736 Which Fuji camera were you using?
I recently switched from Canon to Fuji for many of the same reasons you listed. Thanks for the video and sharing your experiences.
Glad it was helpful! I love my fuji camera!
I totally understand. I went from Nikon FF to all Fujifilm XT3's, XT4's and GFX50S's etc... All our still and videos for the past 2 years have been Fujifilm. From ELLE to VOGUE and so many other publications.
@Shane Milton A camera is a tool.Enjoy what you have and make great imagery! The Nikon is great !😇
Dude!! That is SO COOL! I dream of having a GFX 100S someday, (albeit mostly for landscapes, but portraiture too).
I agree with you in the aesthetics, and I think that both the X-trans sensor and Fuji glass is a killer combo. But I went in the opposite direction, twice, first from X-T2 to RP and recently from X-T3 to R6. While I think that Fuji glass is superior and gives more pleasant images (for the same price), it made me very sad in the AF department, especially on continuous AF. I could not be happier with the R6 in every department, and there is a lot of fine EF glass that works seamlessly for good prices, especially used. Good review!
Thank you, Paul. I've bought Fuji XT-4 in January and I'm happy with that gear too. It gives much pleasure to see people sharing their experience of using Fuji cameras.
I recently switched as well. 7d ii to xt4. The fuji system is so fun. I just subbed because of your hat
Thanks! Yeah… the Fuji system is a blast! I love my XT4.
I too switched from Canon to Fujifilm. Of course I'm a beginner but, I love the way the Fujifilm shows color SOOC. I had an M50 and now I have the X-S10. New sub here .
The Fujifilm colors are awesome! Makes my post workflow much faster and easier.
It’s lovely.
Thanks for the sub man!
As a fuji shooter coming from cannon also I couldn't agree more. The experience of making pictures with my xt3 has made shooting fun again and makes me want to go out and create.
Yes! It’s so good!
I switched from a Canon DSLR to a Fuji X-T4 9 months ago and agree with everything you've said. Love this camera!
I have had an 80D because I shoot vintage lenses lenses and although it works with most M42 mount lenses Exakta mount lenses would hit the frame of a FF camera. Last summer I wanted to go mirrorless. I had already decided for a Sony a7 iii. But in the shop I didn't like the handling and the menu of the Sony at all and the X-T4 caught my eye. A camera that looks like a camera and - with all the knobs on the top plate - feels like a (film) camera. Love it. But I still shoot film, even more than digital, and also medium and large format. And I on my X-T4 I shoot only vintage lenses and love the process and results.
That’s awesome! I want to shoot vintage lenses on my X-T4, but I haven’t had much of a chance yet.
@@PaulStrople I think you will like it a lot! 👍 You can adapt almost everything to the X-T4. If you would like to adapt your Canon EF lenses you would need an adapter that allows you to control the aperture. For vintage lenses with manual control aperture you can either go for a simple adapter from the respective mount to FX or a lens turbo/speed booster which gives you a FF equivalent angle of view and one more stop of light.
Thank you very much for your work and for the video in particular. You put a thought into it that I haven't heard anywhere else! Awesome.
You hit the nail in the coffin.
I switched from Sony (a7s) to FUJIFILM (X-H1), and love Classic Chrome for stills and ETERNA/F-log for videos.
Even though, I still have my Sony a7s. It is basically a dedicated webcam. FUJI SOOC colors are a game changer and a time saver as well.
PS- Subscribed!
That’s rad! I don’t even have my canon cameras any more… but if I did, they’d be collecting dust. I had a Canon 6D II and a Fuji X-T3 simultaneously for awhile, and I ALWAYS reached for the X-T3. So, eventually I just sold all my canon gear (because it was just collecting dust) and bought an X-T4, and some Red Badge XF lenses.
I absolutely love my Fuji cameras.
Best decision I’ve made in a long long time.
Also, Thanks for the sub mate!
Blessings!
I've also switched systems about a year ago from Canon to Fuji, mostly due to size, price and I'm glad that others feel the same and that mirrorless systems arent inferior to full-frame. I shoot and make videos on xt2 btw and love it! #vrafam
Ayyyy!!! Another #vrafam!
Yeah, I don’t thing APSC mirrorless is inferior to full frame at all!
I love my Fuji!
Love the hat and welcome to Fuji
Thank you sir! I’m loving the Fuji system! (And the hat too haha.)
You gained a subscriber. Welcome to the Fuji Fam
Thank you! 😁
Great video mate - I got an X-T4 last year and love it for video work and photos of my family, street… and trying to use it for more landscape now too. It’s a creative, magic machine!
You are 100% spot on. I love my R6 but have gone to the Fuji X T4. The film simulations and adjusting "recipes" to get fantastic images soon is a game changer for me. Bye bye R6.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Paul! We traded in our Leica, Nikon Z7, and Panasonic S1 for Fujifilm gear. We started out with the T1 and tried every series up to the T4. We love the T4. However, there are times that we wished we had a full frame camera for improved dynamic range, cropping, and image quality (higher resolution).
I started to look at the Canon R5, Sony A1, Nikon Z7 Mark II, and Nikon Z9. All of those cameras offer improved image quality, dynamic range, and, if needed, cropping. As for glass, Sony has more options. However, I believe Canon and Nikon offer the glass we would require.
Buttttt leicaaa ...
According to rumors there will be XH2 with 40 megapixels
I got an XT4 over Christmas and am loving it so far too 😊
That’s dope! Glad you’re enjoying it! What lenses do you have for it?
@@PaulStrople 18-55 😊
@@irutgers that’s a rad little lens!
@@PaulStrople I’m just beginning to see what it can do…😊
I switched to Fujifilm from Nikon 2 years ago. I am super satisfied and haven't regretted that decision since.
I stumbled on this video by looking for “X-T4 in 2022”. I loved my Fuji system. Just about everything with the X-T4 was awesome. My biggest downside was the overheating with 4K-60. I’d shoot a lot for slow motion 24p content. That’s why I switch to the A7SIII. But I feel like there’s something missing. I can’t quite pinpoint it. The color profiles from Fuji are unlike anything else IMO. Even shooting RAW and using one of the Fuji profiles in post for photo. I just really enjoyed the experience.
I love the shooting experience of Fuji for sure! In terms of the overheating... I haven't had that issue yet. I also shoot almost all of my video using the Atomos Ninja V, so that may be part of why I haven't had the camera ever overheat.
@@PaulStrople Yeah Zach Mayfield came to that conclusion as well. I also know that the v1.20 firmware update for the X-T4 extended the run time under hotter settings too. Makes me wanna give it another shot. Pricey proposition though. Lol
@@TwoOneSe7en Yeah. Mayfield’s review was a big factor in my decision to grab the X-T4.
1.2 firmware did extend run time.
We’re on 1.4 something now I think, and it performs great.
I have an X-T4 mostly for my vlogs too, and I love it and totally get what you’re saying about the experience and feeling. Here in QLD Australia if I’m shooting 4k 60 I get overheating after about 10mins, a little annoying but I can understand… I overheat in about one minute under the sun 😂
@@RauriBarron Even with the new High Temp update? 😬
Well done - good luck with fuji - I love fuji too
super quality video! And very nice personality! Cool man!
Thank you! 😁
I have just moved from Canon R6 to X-T4 I like the colors of Fuji better, just a more pleasing image. Smaller size and price is a bonus!
I started on Kodachrome 64 and Konica and have been through MANY different camera systems since and I recently made a HUGE move from Nikon to Fujifilm both APS-C and GFX. I think Fuji got it right to focus on these 2 formats alone. Like they say, if you really want to upgrade your image quality, skip full frame and go straight to medium format. Of course it all depends on your photographic purpose. About 70% of my work with APS-C and the rest of medium format. The best of both worlds in my opinion.
Yes! I switched from Nikon to Fuji too---- less weight by far; the color science; and the ability to process less and use straight from camera. Would love to see more videos & info from you on the latter---straight from camera, both photos and video. Thanks!
Wow, I've been using the Fuji XT-4 for almost two years now but have not taken advantage of the Astia film simulation. Those were some stunning sample jpegs! I’ll have to try it out. I focus on wildlife film so tend to stick with Velvia/Vivid for well lit shots and Eterna/Cinema in low light situations. I'm a big fan of those two for capturing nature
Ooooh! That's a great thought! I've never really used velvia (seems a little too saturated for my taste) but I may have to give it a shot now!
Nice Vid!
Thanks!
Thank you Paul for the great video
WHATTTT just hit the astia straight out of camera video part!!! wow very impressed. So much more pleasing than my sony A7iv!!!! Really just pleasing to look at, which is something I have noticed even with the photos. I do not know how to say it any different other than the fuji pics and vids just seem so much more pleasing to my eye.
I really did enjoy my X-T3s, but ending up parting with Fuji for reliability reasons. That said, I’ll be watching closely to see what the X-H2 brings. Fuji makes some of the most fun to shoot camera I’ve used.
Yeah, they are really fun to shoot with. I've had an X-T3 and an X-T4, and have never had reliability issues with either of them, but everyone's case is different I suppose. I'll be keen to see what the X-H2 has to bring as well!
What reliability issues exactly?
Great vid! I too switched to Fujifilm this year. Had been shooting Olympus gear for several years and just like you said, Fuji is like an extension of me as an artist. It pushes my buttons in the right way as a camera. It feels right, just enough nod to old school film shooting, ergonomics, and the colors are boss!
Thanks for the video, really helpful. I’ve shot Canon for 12yrs and loved the 5Dmk4 combined with the 100-400 lens but it’s too heavy for a 70 year old with arthritis. Searched long and hard for a replacement set up with quality and less weight. The XT4 with the 16-80 lens (on the waiting list for the 70-300) is a great replacement. I can get back out there now and take photos again.
I'm glad you found a system that allows you to get back out and keep shooting! Welcome to the Fuji family!
Blessings Sir!
I switched from Canon 2 years ago and I use adapter for EF lenses for my FUJIFILM camera
I adapted Canon glass to my Fuji for awhile. It was pretty good! I did eventually switch to native glass though.
Dude, amazing content & frames! Been shooting Fuji for about 4 years now, and gone through XT-20, XT-3 and now XT-4 X100F and my favourite Fuji camera ever, XS-10! I have to agree that theres just something magical and cool about Fuji imagery ! So tactical too 2 ✌️ Subbed!
Thanks! I've only gone through the X-T3 and now X-T4 thus far, but I Love my fuji camera! It's the happiest I've ever been while shooting!
Why do you prefer the xs10 to xt4? Just curious :)
@@PaulStrople Yeah, I totally get you!! There is just a "fun & cool" -factor about shooting with a Fuji, and like you, I loooove my 35 1.4mm. It´s magic!!
@@ShatteredInsights I guess it´s the size, plus the grip! I used to own XH1 and loved that camera because of the grip, but the size was a tad too big. Now I´ve been contemplating of selling my XT4, cause I never really use it. Always take the XS10 or X100F with me. The only thing that I would miss in XT4 would be the better slomo and battery life..
I just chanced upon your channel, and it was very timely, since I’m considering going in the opposite direction, from a Fuji XT-3 to a Canon R6. I had a Canon 5D III for 9 years and loved its images and spot on autofocus in all situations. I traded it in 2 years ago for a Fuji XT-3 for the size and weight saving for travel. I don’t do video at all, only stills. I was also attracted to the return to the analog shutter speed/ISO/aperture dials that I was used to from my days of shooting with my beloved Nikon Photomic FTn. The little buttons of the Canon were a disconnect between me and my photography, so much so, that I mostly just left it on A+ and shot it as an enormous point and shoot. The Fuji brought back the joy of photography that I hadn’t experienced since my Nikon film days. But over the past 2 years I have grown frustrated by the hit or miss of the Fuji’s AF system, which compared even to my decade old Canon, is relatively primitive, even with the eye AF and latest firmware. Only about 50% of my people pictures are razor sharp, as opposed to the Canon where I had an over 90% success rate in all situations, both static and action. I had the original 24-105 f/4 L with the Canon, and with the Fuji I now have the 16-80, 55-200, 16/ 1.4, 35/f2 and the new 33/ 1.4. I would say, comparing apples to apples, the 16-80 is superior to the 24-105L optically and with respect to IS. The 33 is truly amazing, but even with it, I trash about half the images of my 5-year-old, recalling every time I hit the garbage can button how I have almost all of the images I took of him with the Canon, which are good enough to pay big $ to have printed to gallery display quality standards. The hits with the Fuji are far less frequent, but they do make me say “Holy Shit!” when I see them more so than the Canon images. I hear that the performance advance of the AF on the R6 is almost extraterrestrial in comparison to the old 5D III. With that, plus what I hear about the IBIS, improved low light capability and better optics of the RF glass, I am about to hit the “add to cart” button for the R6 with 24-105 f/4 RF L and trade in the Fuji gear. When I’m traveling the world with my family I want greater insurance that I will nail images that can never be re-taken. I’d love your feedback and perspective, as you’ve had actual experience with the R6 and the Fuji.
Hey Yannis!
If what you’re looking for is solid autofocus that nails a nearly 100% hit rate… you’ll be happy with the R6!
My personal tastes favor image tone and quality, as well as an analog shooting experience, which is why I went Fuji. I personally have had no issues with Fuji’s autofocus (I use the red badge 16-55 f/2.8 for everything, and it’s great.)
But If near instant, accurate and reliable autofocus is your primary need, you’ll be very happy with the R6. 😁
Thanks Paul! What I think I’ll do is wait to see what Fuji’s new cameras will be. I’m hoping they release an X Pro 4 with improved AF that’s on par with Canon. Then I’ll definitely stick to Fuji, since I’ve invested a lot of money on their lenses. If not, then I’ll return to Canon. Appreciate your feedback! Cheers!
@@yannisvaroufakis9395 Sounds like a solid plan! I hear the XH2 is supposed to come out soon, so that may be worth taking a peek at as well. Cheers man!
Thanks for the video, Paul. I'm thinking about switching to the Fuji system. I have been with Canon for so many years and really love the colors from Fuji. It was like you said I have to work so hard to get that look and so many presets are becoming too much. I love the autofocus that Canon has but can do without for the price. I really don't shoot sports and runway shows like that anymore and needs to take my time. lol! Thanks again for this video! Buy the way, I love your work. You and your family have a blessed day.
Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I love my fuji camera! I've got zero regrets switching! Blessings to you and yours!
Welcome aboard
, I love how you can pick 3 film simulations on one JPEG image as back up to the Raw image …I can concentrate on the composition rather than the editing… superb
Absolutely! Gordon Laing's book "In Camera" was a big influence on my adopting this in my own photography. It is a great philosophy that I believe connects us more intimately to the process and joy of photography. Anyway, amen...to your hat and this video. Thanks Paul!
Even I am planning to switch from Canon 5D MK2 to XT4, just skeptical about switching from a full-frame to APS-C
Good video. I think Canon gets way too much credit for their color science. It was so rewarding to turn a marginal picture into a keeper in Lightroom 1.0, but I am over that and don't want significant adjustments to be a requirement for most pictures. I have an R5. It is an amazing camera other than the colors. The camera seems to struggle with greens in particular. Fix grass in the background and the rest of the picture is garbage. I do a lot of subject masks to get good pictures out of the R5. I also have a Z6 and I love almost every (in focus) picture that it produces. The colors are amazing with no adjustment. My dream camera would be a Z6 with the R5's auto focus (and maybe the aperture control on the lens).
I would really like to see some sample images that have brought that problem up for you.
Foliage color is indeed a quircky beast with canon but i never needed to do much to make it work if that was important to the picture
I keep seeing written comments expressing good things about Nikon mirrorless colours, I wish there was more content showing it off
I switched from Canon to Fuji in 2015, not for color but for size! I still appreciate Canon colors, even after using Fuji for all these years. I predict you're going to miss the auto focus! Let's hope Fujifilm bring some firmware updates this year for AF.
Great vid Paul. I switched to Fuji and could not be happier. The beanie is awesome! Bro photographer.
That’s awesome Gary! I love my X-T4! Glad you like the beanie! I’ve gotten so many good comments on it, I might have to wear it more in future videos!
@@PaulStrople Wear I all the time!!!!!
@@garymorrow9324 Yes sir!
Love the Monica on your beanie!!
Thank you Sir!
*_Æsthetic_*
👌🏻🤣
Very interesting perspective that i haven’t heard before. Im going to get a Fuji XT4 and i think the creative factor with this camera is huge!! I keep going back and forth between getting the XT4 and one of the full frame Sony cameras but then the price becomes a factor. I also have a few different brand of cameras i own which i use specifically for different things.
Damn it. I was going to purchase an R8 with a Tamron 24-70 EF (the reason I found this channel) and now you got me totally confused again 😁
We need cameras fir people who do not really know what they are doing 😀
Great video and very cool colours. Very “Wes Andersonian” .
Sooorrrryyyyyyyyy. Lol.
If it helps, I'm now shooting Canon again... with the Tamron lol. (R6 Mark II solved the overheating problem for me... which was my main complaint with Canon.)
Thanks for this very helpful video. I'm an amateur photographer and hoping to soon purchase a new camera. I've considered the R6, z6ii, and a7iv, but I really don't need FF and especially don't need the FF cost and weight. So I'm looking at the Fugi xh2s, xh2 and xt5. Since I'm 95% photography (only 5% video) in leaning towards the xt5. I might be interested in the xpro4 (when it comes out) if it had an LCD similar to the xt5/xt3. Your video is very encouraging that I'm on the right track.
Great video...I had an XT3 while being a canon guy as well. I sold it awhile back and have been considering getting an XT4. I love my Canon R6, but it doesn't move me to create like my Fuji did.
Exactly! I loved my Canon cameras too, but there’s something special about Fuji that just, drives creativity forward for me. ❤️
The JPEGS out of this camera is so good that's there no need to shoot RAW.
Honestly that's facts.
I'm shooting Canon again for my professional work... but man do I MISS the Fuji JPEGs!
I also made the switch from Canon to Fuji- never regret :-)
Yes!! Never regret!
Great story! Im trying to switch to Fuji i have amassed Two XT4s and lots of Fuji X Series lenses including some of the newer ones 33f1/4 & 18f1/4 the IQ is great especially the colours and Dynamic range.
But i be honest they need to catch up to Sony or Canon’s AF accuracy and consistency to have any chance i use Fuji solely for my wedding work. My Canon mirrorless are head and shoulders better in AF. & I still don’t have the confidence to solely rely on the Fuji AF for those crucial moments, lets see maybe the upcoming XH2 will address this issue. Otherwise Fuji is all i use for my portraits and personal stuff the AF is more then ok for static subjects.
welcome to the Fuji family :)
Thank you! I'm absolutely loving it so far! :)
Love that hat .. wonder video. Best jpg camera
Same thoughts I had coming from Nikon: when I shoot with it then I have to work in post to give the image a nice look. With Fuji is not necessary: file out of camera are OK. Thanks for this video
I started photography with a Canon A1 & F1, both of which are film cameras. Fast forward over the last 30-40 years, & I have used everything from the original Canon 5D mark 1, Canon 7D mark 1, to the Canon 5DSR. I loved Canon & still do. However, with the new R mount lens system and new mirror less camera bodies, I chose NOT to “buy”in to a new & even more expensive camera system. I know that I can use an adapter for my canon L Len’s to use on the new canon bodies. Eventually, I knew I would have to invest in new R Len’s as Canon no longer services some of my L glass. Enter Fujifilm. Excellent optics, robust/ dependable / camera bodies at a “fraction” of the expense of entry into the Canon mirror less system. Although there are a few features that I may miss from Canon, namely the excellent autofocus, I have found that my Fugi X-T 3 cameras have been more than “good enough” for my professional needs. I enjoy the Fuji shooting experience with their cameras, & I have no regrets since leaving Canon & my cost savings have been “ Significant.”
Very interesting perspective that i haven’t heard before. Im going to get a Fuji XT4 and i think the creative factor with this camera is huge!! I keep going back and forth between getting the XT4 and one of the full frame Sony cameras but then the price becomes a factor.
Paul my thoughts exactly with the color. I’ve been shooting with Fujfilm for a couple of years now but was recently enticed on switching over to the r6. Made a few videos about it but ultimately decided not to switch. Great video!
Thanks Josh!
Fuji’s colours really are something special!
I'm not a photographer, nor I had any camera in the past, only a cheap Nikon, I've bought with my money when I was a child. I always wanted a camera, and didn't want to buy a cheap camera, just to then, buy another one, more expensive, so, yesterday I've bought the Fuji XT4, with the 18-55 ,I prefer photography than videography, cause I would need a gimbal and stuff, but photography is almost general, you can do a ton of stuff, with your hands. But, I also want to film something, so... XT4 it is xD, I would have chosen the XT3 if it was only for photos tho. Nice to see I'm not the only one (tho I'm just new to the world) to have chosen the XT4 on 2022
Good choice! It’s a killer camera! You’re going to love it!
I got it for less than 2000€ with the 18-55 mm kit, and I've seen there's the 200€ cash back, so, when I'll receive it on a couple days, I will immediately go for it xD, if it works all good, at the end I would have bought it for 1800€, seams kinda good to me, is it?
Welcome to the club!:) Nice pictures BTW. I don`t use ASTIA as much as I used to in X-Pro1, X-Pro2. But will give it another go after your sample photos:)
I love Astia haha.
And thanks! I'm happy to be part of the club!
Dude... Your hat is amazing!
Thanks man! :)
Very nice!
Thanks man! :)
Love my R6, but picked up a x100v w/out abandoning anything!
Switched from Canon 550D to X-E3. Tired of Canon treated their APS-C system as "second class" (with 7D as an exception), especially their first-party lens selection. Came for Fuji's X-Mount philosophies (focusing on making the best APS-C system on the market), but stayed for how fun their camera is to use. Cool looking, fun film-sim, tactile control, amazing lens options, etc.
Most dope
Ah haha... why thank you sir. This edit almost killed my computer haha.
Nice video ! Nice pics ! I love my Fuji xt2 and x100f !! Love your hat ! 😊. Greetings from the Netherlands ! 🌷🇳🇱🌷
Thank you very much!
Main worries - low light and autofocus - thoughts??
Sence switching to Fujifilm the only thing I use Lightroom for is to import images and maybe crop them 🤷
Just got my first camera, a xt3. I'm excited to get some shots like yours : )
Nice! You’re gonna love it! Congrats man!
Hi Paul great video , my names Aj from the uk - a wedding photographer. l am just about to change fron nikon D850 that I shot with for a few years to a xt4 , you are 100% correct saying its all about the colour , weight, etc I am hoping I a. Doing the right change, thanks
I also am a fan of the Fuji magic. Good vid!
Thanks Nathaniel! Aye, the Fuji magic is strong isn’t it? 😁
@@PaulStrople sure is! I’m a big fan of classic chrome as well. I haven’t dipped into Astia much but may have to now after seeing your color grade!
Nice video. I got the X-E3 a few years ago plus 4 lens, and bought the Nikon Z6ii recently. I will simply keep the two systems for different occasions and needs. They just have different strengths so I never thought of selling the Fujifilm set. Really looking forward to see the next Fujifilm flagship maybe the x-t5 with the new sensor.
I’m looking forward to that as well! How are you liking the Z6II?
@@PaulStrople I bought it along with the 50mm f1.8 lens and this is the only lens I have so far. Love the sharpness and colour of this combo. It's definitely heavier than my X-E3 ( maybe just a little over the x-t4) but considering its full frame and the grip is one of the best amongst all mirrorless cameras, I think the extra bit of weight is well justified.
@@lfc7805 Yeah that makes sense. Ergonomics are something that I think most people don't consider enough. I've got a Smallrig cage on my X-T4, and the ergos are amazing with it... but without is, kinda sad haha.
Nice review. I’m thinking of selling my Nikon gear, having recently bought an X-T4.
I sold my A7iii so I could get an X-T2. I always hated having to spend so much time in Lightroom to get an image I liked. Hated it so much that I rarely shot over the last 2 years.
Oh well that interests me to know that. I am going from a7iii to Fuji and I also got to the point where I really didn’t want to spend all that time on the computer.
@@zeballos5757 having a straight out of camera jpeg that's what you want (or very close) is extremely underrated. Enjoy!
@@bobbygreen9106 thanks, I’ll have to see though. I am not really interested in Jpeg, because I do like editing and RAW files, but I am interested in perhaps having to do less editing with Fuji. Last night I looked at some of my friends pictures on her page. She shoots with xt4, then I looked at another friends page Nikon Z6ii, then I looked at my page, Sony a7iii. Nikon was nice but at the end of it all, I liked the a7iii look better than the other 2 cameras. Maybe it’s just my editing 😬
Thanks for articulating your thoughts on why you switched. As a techie type, I was curious: given lots of experience with post processing tools, how many minutes were you saving on average shooting Fuji with its out of camera JPEGs vs. what you were doing with your Canon gear? If you had to go to RAW files, what tools were you using to get close to Fujifilm film simulations? I switched from Canon DSLR when the Fuji X-T1 came out; loved Canon color for skin tones and Fujifilm for everything. How was Canon EOS R color science vs. older Canon EOS DSLRs? Aside from color science any other interesting differences between Canon EOS R vs. Fuji-X?
As for saving time with Fuji vs canon in post processing…
With Canon I’d spend sometimes 20 minutes on a photo, or hours on a batch of photos.
With my Fuji… I hardly ever even edit at all.
I haven’t opened Lightroom more than twice in the last 3 months.
As for RAW processing (which is now a rarity for me), my go-to tools are Lightroom and Capture One!
I got an R6 after owning the 90D for the past 2 years and i can say that the R6 produces warmer images than the 90D given the exact same whitebalance preset. No idea why.
But the pictures are turning out very nicely and cannot relate to the complaints presented either in this video or the comment section.
For the 90D my biggest issue was the retarded Adobe Color Preset because no official camera presets were made available in Lightroom. This was bad because it meant i was starting my editing process far from where I was expecting to be when taking the picture. I worked that out though and now with the R6 also having camera matching presets i dont need to do much, most of the time.
Nice video.
Thank you!
Jesus IS everything.
Cool video. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Thank you!
Blessings!
Nice hat.
Great video
Jesus is everything on your cap caught my eyes 👍..... Fujifilm camera's are great and highly underrated when compared to the CANISO systems ...
What Canon R6 did to you, so that you didn't mention it once in the video? :) I am also from Canon camp, but was shooting Fuji for the last 3 years. I am looking at R6, and thinking, not bad, not bad at all... I still have some Canon lenses left, also lenses I adapt to Fuji can be as easily adopted to Canon, Voigtlanders, Nikkors, etc. BUT you have the full frame, not only the central part. I would love to see how, say, Voigtlaner 50mm f/1.2 will look on R6, better than on Fuji, for sure... That's why I am looking at R6...
you made the switch because you have brains. best cameras now are fuji and olympus. best in colors and ease of use. consistent and commitment to the mount, beautiful range of native lenses.
i use olympus digital cameras since 2004 love it so much and care nothing about what is said about the small sensor. came to fuji only one month ago and it already won my heart. i felt all what you said.
not giving up olympus but will use them together.
Ooooh yeah. I’ve heard a lot of great things about those cameras. That’ll be a cool combo.
while nice, but not cost effective for me to switch, one can allways use the WB SHIFT/BKT. and grade from there.
Paul, as a former Canon full-frame photographer, have you noticed any falloff on image quality by switching to the Fujifilm X-T4? Have you tried the Fujifilm GFX 100S? If so, what are your thoughts? Thank you!
I haven’t noticed any image quality falloff. In fact, in many cases it seems the image quality has only increased (potentially something to do with the X-Trans sensor type, and the lack of an AA filter, making the images sharper and more detailed.) As for the GFX 100S… that’s an absolute dream camera for me. I hope someday I get to shoot with one, but I haven’t yet.
Hopefully you found this helpful!
Blessings John!
@@PaulStrople - thank you for your extremely prompt reply! I appreciated your thoughts and candor! Have a blessed weekend, Paul!!!
Do you have to shoot in jpeg to get these profiles or can you still shoot in raw?
Great video about Fuji.. I am also a fuji shooter. I shoot all my videos using XT4 and 16-80 kit lens.. even though I am looking forward to buy 16-55. Just wanted to know from you, how that performs as per the AF and image quality for video?
Hey Mayur!
I absolutely love the 16-55 for video!
The AF is smooth, accurate and completely silent. The image quality… honestly is amazing! I’ve had a lot of high end glass over the years, but the clarity, sharpness, rendering and colour reproduction of the Fuji XF 16-55 is on a whole new level, unlike anything I’ve seen before.
I’ll heartily recommend it!
@@PaulStrople hi Paul! Would you recommend the 16-55 over the 16-80?
Yo. Fuji rumors brought me here.. But your correct.. I came from Sony.. But fuji color whay I move most plus Retro looks
Imagine one day fuji produce fullframe ...
Dude... that would be AMAZING.
Hi Paul Strople, without wishing to detract from my endorsements of your choices, I feel I should point out that in fact on a purely technical level what you say at the start of this video about colour science in not quite correct, while it is true that post processing can make any picture conform to any chosen profile it can only use the real data provided by the original file, there is a total maximum 'volume' of that data and if it includes a load of colour information which is not to your liking then it has to be crimped, any colour information that you do want but comes in reduced volume has to be amplified to compensate and this also amplifies the noise. From the subjective view of most people this will not be visible because the overall quality of most cameras nowadays far exceeds the capacity of the human eye so my criticism is pedantic at best, it does remain for me however that the Fujifilm cameras that I have always used always give me the output which most closely matches what I see at the time, the picture matches the perceived reality, I have a copy of what I could see.
Many other photographers have a more creative eye and want to see how the technology can seem to enhance reality, in the end the best system is the one that most closely matches your requirements.
Cheers, Richard.
Did you keep you Canon lenses to use with the FujiFilm camera body? If so, which adapters did you get?
I did for awhile. I got the Fringer EF-FX II Pro Adapter. Worked great! I eventually swapped to native Fujinon Red Badge lenses though. (mostly due to size and weight.)
@@PaulStrople Thank you for replying. Appreciate it.
@@AaronGayah No problem! :)
From 6d to xpro 2 back to 6d then sold it again and end up with a good ol' xt-20 hahaha I just can't get enough of fuji colors
Facts!
I went from a T3i to a 6D mark II to a 5D IV, then a 1DX II, then an R, then the R6…
And now all I’ve got is the Fuji X-T4, and I Love it!
Buy a GFX 100S and you'll really love Fuji even more:))
You have no idea how much I want a GFX 100S. 🥺
But the wallet says no. It’s like, $6,000 for just the body alone. 😬🥲😂
Well, i think i don't use astia simulation enough 👍
If the camera isn't able to keep an object/model in focus, the colours or colour science don't matter anymore. Gear matters. Sports. Wildlife.... when the camera works against the photographer.
I don't shoot sports or wildlife very much. And the times that I have, I've had no issues with focus.
Wouldn’t want either camera. If anything, I hate Fuji color, always look ridiculously pink. Not that Canon is not so ridiculously pink, either.
This is why Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus & Leica exist. 😁
Does your X-t4 love is stronger then the love 4 jezus?
if not
start a jezus channel
Cannot compare an old canon reflex to the XT4, another category
R6 isn’t old. But yeah, it does seem like a totally new arena doesn’t it?
Funny. I sold all my Fuji after owning R6 for a while. R6 pictures are so clean with excellent colors.
Fuji has nice colors, but far from accurate. It’s also a crop sensor. Full frame R6 is amazing!
Hence the subjectivity of things like this I think.
I loved my R6… but personally I love my Fuji more. ❤️
Colour science is subjective but I feel your face is not as reddish as in real life. In saying that, Fuji knows about skin colour, as does Nikon. Sony never made analogue cameras so they'll probably never learn about photography. My main photo camera is still a 2014 Samsung NX1, and guess why.
