Omar married Canon, flirts with Fuji, and sleeps with Sony.

i use fuji for everything cause I ONLY HAVE ONE

love y'all..

[michaelpawlukphotography]

I converted from full-frame Nikon to Fuji exclusively years ago with no regrets. I could care less about your choice of gear... love and appreciate your content and sense of humor!

[curiousobserver]

I'm for photography--no matter the gear. I'm for everyone having their own individual style and preferences. I'm for being respectful, thankful, curious and a life long learner. I really appreciate your channel Omar. Keep it coming!

Omar tells us that life is complicated. People work, people play. Photographers are people, Omar is a photographer so he is also a people, um, a person! So he works, he plays. He has tools for his work, he has toys to play. Tools can be used to play, toys can be used for work. We subscribers see all of Omar's world, and very lucky we are.

Just told my wife that Omar has two camera systems ... one for family and one for business...she then said if I honestly tell her how many cameras I own that I could do the same...I declined to answer her on the advice of my attorney.

I use Canon, Fujifilm and Sony cameras. I will say the best camera I’ve ever shot with is the Fujifilm XT1 and XT3. I was gradually selling my Canon gear bit by bit, then WHAM!!, I bought a Canon5DSr out of the blue. Where did that come from. 50 megapixel baby!. Fujifilm is definitely my favourite though. Did I mention I work at Fujifilm.

[giselesmith]

I am a former Nikon film shooter who went with Fuji for the size (and the results!). Also, gosh darn it, the XT 2 ( IMHO) is a sexy little camera that's fun to use. But my son uses Canon gear and we borrow each other's equipment. I believe that whatever works for you is just fine. If we all liked the same things, this world would be a very boring place.

Omar to his clients: Fuji is mine and only mine, not for you

[HazardTactical]

Plus if you want to say shoot f1.2 full frame, you'd need an f0.8 Fuji lens equivalent. Or if you need a flip screen etc. So there is a different tool for everything.

[amermeleitor]

- Fuji for the fun / ok
- Sony for the eye AF pro work / ok
- Nikon for... ¿? Why? Why Nikon?

[gileswhitehead]

Good answer. I worked in the industry and it killed my love for photography. After a change in career; I’m back and as a traditional Nikon/Leica man now totally love Fujifilm. The glass oh the glass has soul! So rear today!

[kevindiossi]

Sometimes professional photographers forget that this always starts as a hobby for all of us. We all started taking photos for fun and if we eventually blessed to turn this into our career, the fun aspects can sometimes diminish.

I took up film again and shoot the little Canon EOS M cameras for "me" as well. I love it! I also love not traveling on vacations with $3000-6000 worth of heavy gear I make my living with! Haha

[calvinthean]

Completely understand where you’re coming from. One set of equipment for work, and another for leisure and having fun. The equipment you hold in your hands will subconsciously allow your mind to switch gears.

[IrisNelson]

Loved your answer, Omar. I too shoot Fuji...for my personal work, and another brand for my pro work. Nothing wrong with that - IMHO.

[Chr.]

Don’t you ever stop making fuji videos :(

[Dkouki]

I respect that dude. I use Fuji for family/travel and Nikon for pro work . I will still use Fuji for paid portraits every now and then but mostly for family/travel like you!

[martinpickard]

Sold all my Fuji gear, xt3, 16mm f1.4, 80mm macro, 50mm f2 and got the Sony a7iii, 90mm macro, 70-200 f2.8 gm, 24-105 f4, 85mm f1.8, and the absolute cream 24 f1.4 gm...couldn’t be happier...love your channel.👌🏻👌🏻

[spascalin]

Great video Omar, don’t worry for people that complain! Your videos really fun to watch. I have a Fujifilm camera but I will have to admit that that camera I use the most is the one on my phone!

[vitaminq]

Well put. I bought my X-T2 back in April but kept working with my Canon until I started watching your Fujifilm videos this December. I've hardly put my Fujifilm down since; quite a new found respect for Fuji you've inspired. Thanks.
