Thanks! Trying to do 1 take as much as I can. Less time editing he video afterwards :-)

I know the feeling ;-)

I just shot a concert with the T5 and the 16-55 f2.8 in very low light and I was surprised with the result. I mainly lived at ISO 6400 and the files are not more noisy than with my previous X-T4 or X-T3 even with that new 40MP sensor. The way they were able to control the noise coupled with an efficient IBIS system makes it viable for those scenarios. Of course the FF Sony A74 will perform better in very low light, but I prefer the shooting experience, colours and overall product design philosophy of Fujifilm. It is really a personal choice in the end. Happy shooting!

Well, from my Leica manual glass to Fujinon AF lenses, not sure if we can call that an “downgrade” ;-)

The 35mm 1.4 is a classic and goes along well with the X-T5 even if it isn't "optimized" for the new 40MP sensor. As for the Sony camera I use for video, it is the ZV-E1 paired with the 20mm f /.8 G lens. Same sensor as in the FX-3/A7s3

@@FredRanger - oh E1. I guess I didn't know about that. But now I'm looking into it. Thanks, Fred. And yeah, I know the lens isn't optimized as such. But I'm too dumb to know the difference.

Significant upgrade from the T3! The battery life alone (+ IBIS and new sensor) are enough to make you feel the difference!

I agree, and that’s pretty much all you need!

@@FredRanger Thanks

Such a great camera. I will watch you videos. Cheers!

X-Pro is my preferred Fuji camera also ✨ hopefully an X-Pro 4 is in the works with the 40MP stabilized sensor and newer longer life batteries 🙏🏻

The 33mm f1.4 (50mm full frame equivalent) most of the time, then the 18mm f1.4 for when I need a wider field of view (27mm full frame equivalent).

I don’t. Although I really enjoy the ergonomics, I tried to make the X-H line work for me as a video camera. I ended up using another system for video. X-Pro and X-T are perfect for my photography. Happy to hear you still enjoy yours! Cheers!

never really loved the Sony ecosystem for photography. It's my go-to for for video, but 0 inspiration to shoot stills on them. I can live with Nikon for photo :- )

@FredRanger 100% agreed... it's just the size of the sony that's appealing. However, the Fuji is not that bigger... The thing that drove me over the line to make this decision to move back was going through old photos and seeing the colour. The funny thing is looking at some of my photos I remember I increased the grain on some recipes which I still like looking at. You are 100% correct on the Fujifilm grain, there is something about it.

@@halgrynshaun I feel the same. Sold Fuji to get Canon R8 which is fantastic and has great color but images just didn't spoke to me and it was still little too big. Tried A7C II and I hated it, tried Zf didn't like the output. Now I am on Panasonic S9 and I love this thing. After adapting LUTs which took me couple of weeks I got looks that are really satisfying and for video this thing is a beast not to mention AF which is miles ahead of Fuji. In the end I miss X-E4 + 27 f2.8 as nothing in full frame world is as small as this setup and I miss Classic Cuban Neg and Pacific Blues film recipes but I am not sure if I should add Fuji back just for those things. I won't sell Panasonic S9 for sure due to video abilities but let's see. If money will be there I might buy Fuji X-M5 or X-E5. XF 27mm f2.8 WR is waiting in a drawer (didn't sell it as I know it's hard to get). Also I miss XF 35 f1.4 - special lens and look that I can't get with modern glass even in post process.

@MrRafalEn I thought about the s9, but the lack of viewfinder may drive me nuts. I love everything else about the camera. The lut options are game-changing. Hopefully, more manufacturers will start doing the same. It's good to get in early... Perhaps I'll keep my nikon and trade in the sony... thanks, you're not helping. Now, the rest of my time will be spent looking into this as a potential option.

@@peterjohnson1845 I was interested in the Nikon also, but then looked at the full Fuji lens lineup I already have and decided it wasn’t worth the switch. And no one comes close to film sims / recipes available on Fujifilm cameras.

Thank you for the feedback on the podcast, and I'm happy to hear that you find value in the content. Regarding your question about finding a place to rent Leica cameras, it seems difficult to find one and places like Gosselin or Photo Service aren’t offering renting Leica products. My suggestion is to keep an eye out for Leica Demo days, where they showcase demo cameras and let users play with it for a couple of hours. Camtec/Leica Boutique in old MTL had one a couple of months ago. The best way to stay updated is to subscribe to their Newsletter and follow them on Instagram. I hope this information helps. Cheers!

@@FredRanger Thanks for the tip, very helpful! I just subscribed to their newsletter.

Too much gear indeed! Next trip to Martinique planned for Dec-Jan should be Leica Q2 + Yashica T4 only :)

@@FredRanger I have the T4 Super as well but I can’t remember the last time I put a film though it- it’s mint in box - saving for a day when film prices fall 😜

@torchbox really enjoy this little camera, but like you, I am very conscious that every time I press the shutter it’s $2 hehe

That's my finding also! The next trip (in December) might only be the Q2 and the M6 🤘🏻

@@colinosullivan So beautiful and inspiring indeed! Looking forward to seeing the video! Cheers!

@@GillesQuennevilleGQ so that he can make the video.

I have the same question haha. I could’ve shoot 80% of what I shot with the Leica Q2, but This trip was a once In a lifetime opportunity where I wanted to test different options. If you look at other videos on this channel you will see that I did experiment with super minimalistic setup (like an Fuji X100V and a GoPro) and testes the other route with 2 Fujifilm digital cameras, 1 film camera, multiple lenses, a drone a DJI Osmo pocket, etc… This trip has confirmes that 2 cameras (1 film, one digital) and a small video camera (the DJI Osmo Pocket 3) is all I need. Cheers!

Pleasure!

Thanks for the comment my friend. That Q2 is indeed just unbeatable :) The M4 iPad really changed the way I think about mobile editing and travel photography. I’ll do a video explaining why soon. Cheers!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the kind feedback. Happy shooting!

@@pelinsahin5495 Pleasure!

@@framedbyaaron Thank you, I<m glad you found value in the review! Cheers!

@@lifeofphys thanks my friend! Looking forward to it also 🤘🏻

Pleasure my friend! It was a great chat. Just added the direct link in the description :-) cheers!

The tele converter lens: amzn.to/3XN993r And wide angle converter lense: amzn.to/4eJESZx Will give you the equivalent of 28mm and 50mm on top of your existing built-on 35mm (23mm). I have other videos that feature those in the Fujifilm playlist. Happy shooting!

I totally get you! I've been shooting with Fuji cameras since the original X-100 came out 13 years ago, and while their autofocus has never been their strong suit, the colors, shooting experience, and film simulations are where Fuji really excels. For those reasons, I also switched to another system when I need highly reliable autofocus.

Pleasure!

words of wisdom! 🖤

Thank you so much for your feedback. It is such a great trio of cameras and I’m glad you are enjoying yours. If you are interested in seeing the work so produce with them, head over to my site where I even have some Zines you can get: fredranger.com/store/p/zine-2-humans-after-all Also, don’t forget to subscribe to my audio show The Visual Storytelling Podcast if you aren’t already ;) Cheers!

Thank you for the feedback. I did have a chance to test it yes. It’s a great camera. I especially like the flexibility of the tri-resolution sensor. Have fun with it!

Best in class menu system! I would also add the companion iOS app which has the most intuitive user interface.

This is such a good point, thanks Marlon!

If you don’t need the weather sealing, bigger body and 4K 120 fps, the XS-20 can definitely do the job! My only gripe would be the micro HDMI port, but if it’s only for livestreams, you might end up only using the USBC port anyways.

You can send me an email via my site here: fredranger.com/contact Cheers!

Thank you! If you are more into long form content about photography and living a more creative life, make sure you are also subscribed to my show The Visual Storytelling Podcast, if you aren’t already ;-) Cheers! thevisualstorytellingpodcast.com

Thank you for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that you’re finding value in the content. Your feedback is truly motivating. Stay tuned for more exciting episodes coming soon!

All of them are good options, but nothing beats the monochrome sensor for B&W photography. So my choice would be Q2M.

You have to hit the Q button to save every setting if you don’t have auto-save on

@@FredRanger Yep. Doing that on each individual change, but then it won't save the changes. When I go back in, it goes back to the default programming.
