I got the X-T2, and I learned from experience that the X-T30 is more than enough camera for me. I’m too casual to be spending $1k+ on a body. I don’t even need extra batteries most 99.9% of the time.
I love that Fujifilm don’t cripple their consumer bodies so I can blow all the rest of my money on lenses.

Omar is the Jim Carrey of photography! LOL

As a creator, I really loved this review. Dont ever stop being goofy. I gained 160, 000 subs in a year between 2 channels and people ask how....I say "I was being myself" your awesome.

Omar, if you want to zoom in to check focus on the non touch screen Fuji's, you can just press the rear command dial once and it will do a max zoom in on the focus point (at least on XT2). Even quicker and more reliable than double tapping a touchscreen in my opinion.

after saying I'd never sell my X-T20, and I wouldn't buy an X-T3, sold my X-T20 (and the X-T2) and bought the X-T3 after all. The video specs were what sold it to me in the end.

Resume:
Fuji X-T3 is no so different than X-T2 in terms of PHOTOGRAPHY, that´s the principal reason of the goodbye.
Fuji X-T3 is very good for VIDEO PEOPLE.
That´s it!
I like Fuji X-T3 as well. I will buy it

[Mstrmnd]

This is what it means to have a "great" personality. Omar you got the right stuff baby.

[dougstringer]

Sorry you had to say goodbye-so long-farewell to your X-T3. All your points are valid, esp. about this being tooo much camera for a lot of people. (I shoot professional sports, so it's a dream boat for me) It's one of the best hybrid (photo/video machines) out there for the price. On your comment around the 8:40 mark about the rear command dial--on my first copy, it was sticking sooo bad that I finally gave up on it, sent it back to B&H for a replacement, and got a copy that rotates smoother than the first. Whenever I would attempt to rotate the rear command dial on my original body I would have to put so much force into turning it that I ended up pressing in the dial 90% of the time. Not good. Got my new body yesterday and going to go out and shoot something.

It was my first Fuji and I'm glad that I started with this because Im now in love with Fuji!

[sweetadeline]

Oh man, I love your videos. They're not only informative and inspiring but hillarious. Thank you!

[D-a-d-p-o-o-l]

Can't hold it back any longer.
Omar, you are one of the funniest and most sympathetic persons I've ever seen.
Love your work and looking forward to each and every video you put up here.
Your content is very helpful and presented in your unique way, which is entertaining big time.
Thanks and keep it going.

Back to topic, I'm about to buy my first top cam.
So far I shot with a Lumix FZ18 Bridge Cam and now I'm using a Sony Nex-5.
I'm still learning to shoot completely manual and the Nex-5 is a good start.
I'm not quite sure if I should go for the X-T30 or the X-T3.
It's a 600 € difference (Greetings from Germany) but the XT-3 does have a lot of additional features.
WR, Tethering/Live View (just bought Capture One 12 Pro for Fuji for 125€), 4K 60, better EVF, Battery Grip available, 3.5 Mic/Audio Jack, Dual Card

Do you think all the advantages of the X-T3 are worth the extra money?

I know it's always individual but maybe you have an opinion based on your own experiences with the different systems.
By the way I'm a hybrid shooter.

Thanks a lot and have a great day.

Anyone else find it funny that he asks for a flip out screen here, and then when they add it on the X-T4 he complains about it and says he doesn't like it as much?

[benedettonotarrigo]

There are plenty of boring camera reviewers. If you want that go ahead. Dude you're so entertaining, and that's the point. Being able to review seriously and passionately while being entertaining. And not being ashamed of being goofy. Something that takes lot of courage for lot of us. You rock 👍

[DerekComer]

From the xt1, which I had, it's a massive leap, I use my xt1 now with manual lens and xt3 with my Fuji lens. Great vid as usual

[brodieburton]

Omar, I love your videos! Super informative to the real camera user not just tech and specs, love it! I just picked up a used X-T2 for $749 and it was definitely the right call. GAS can take over the best of us sometimes.

[RandyPollock]

Wait..so we "don't" have the buy new cameras when manufacturers say we need too? Jeez..next thing you'll be saying is Facebook is a waste of time.

[eyyc]

I'm binging these vids like Netflix. I learn while laughing. 😂❤

[Vinterloft]

2016: Surely they'll soon make the perfect X-T for me
2019: any moment now
2021: Buys X-T1.

[dennisrodash]

The way you mix your comments with the videos and photos is phenomenal.

[yingthao]

Flip screen are mostly beneficial for videographers but as a photographer I would much prefer the tilt screen.
