INTRO - I first got into the Fuji system with the venerable X-T1, almost eight years ago. That camera had 16 megapixels, and I STILL love many of the photos taken with it. Here we are in 2023 with a brand new camera that has all the dials that made many of us fall in love with Fuji, and a brand new X-Trans 5 sensor with 40…
https://youtu.be/DCUdiq2QC-I The question I have to ask YOU is this: for the type of photography you do, do you NEED the new X-H2s? Only YOU can answer this ultimately, but I thought a lot about this after a recent portrait shoot where I did a family session with my wife and son. We all used different cameras, but we got some amazing results. After that photoshoot, I…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyR0cGK3H8w Let's look at Fuji’s lineup of 50mm equivalent prime lenses. I’m going to tell you about the pros and cons, show you a bunch of examples shot on each lens, and also which one I’d keep if I could only keep one. The 50mm focal length prime lens has a special, legendary place in photography’s history. It’s a lens favored by some of the legends of…
https://youtu.be/cfiMmfh-M6w It’s been 10 years of Fujifilm cameras, and Fuji has just stated that it’s going to release the newest camera in the X-mount system in May. I wanted to make this video to tell you about why I chose Fujifilm, and why, after a year of working at a camera store and using the latest and best out of all the camera manufacturers, I’m still with…
For me, I buy cameras and lenses with a purpose in mind. The X-T4 is my professional camera when I’m doing a paid job. The X-Pro 3 is my professional backup and part-time fun camera, and the Fuji X100v is my fun camera that just so happens to allow me to get amazing prints for my print shop. BUT... when I saw a good deal on the…
For me, Fuji is all about producing great results while giving the user a sense of enjoyment when photographing. It's why I love the small form factors of the Fuji cameras, the dials, and especially the image quality that comes out of these picture-taking machines! I thought it would be useful to show the Fuji X-E4 with the 27mm f/2.8 examples from the real world (if you…
The Fuji X100V embraces and celebrates the Fuji philosophy: that cameras are more than just image makers. More than any camera I can remember using, the X100V is simply enjoyable to use. It’s fun. It’s so much fun to use that even when there are other cameras around, I most often choose the X100V over what might be a more robust body or versatile lens. I believe…
I never understood the negative reaction to the X-Pro3 when it was revealed. It seemed like many reveled in mocking Fuji for their design choices. A modern mirrorless camera without a traditional LCD screen on the back was a bold move on Fuji's part, but one that I came to understand. It fits with the X-Pro line as a camera that offers something different. The first X-Pro…
