Unravelling the Conspiracy: Why Everyones Switching to Fuji Cameras

In this video, we'll dive into the theory behind why everyone is buying Fuji cameras, specifically the x100v and gfx100s models. From their design to their features to their affordability and more, we'll explore what makes these cameras so desirable in 2024.

I had a Lincoln Continental almost 8 ltr, 10 mpg in the 80s, and a Kawasaki 500 triple Mach 111, now I have a bus pass and a Skoda, and lots off 10yr old second hand digital cameras and manual lenses, life is good!

Weird that Hasselblad and Fuji have a lot of common history. A lot of Hasselblad lenses are build by Fuji. The Hasselblad H was also build and in Japan also sold under the Fuji brand. The xpan was also build and sold by Fuji and so on :).

That jolly old ROI thing. If there's no positive return on the investment, it has no place in the business. As a photojournalist, I used a Leica M kit. It made sense. It was the perfect tool for the job I was doing. When digital came about I sold the Leica gear and went with what was needed at that time – DSLR. It was a gutwrenching move personally, but right for my business. Today I use Sony, not because I like a camera with the ergonomics of a toaster, but it's the right tool. Keep up the great work bringing common sense to YouTube.

Oh wow. That resonates so much with me. It's the old "Want" VS "Need" conundrum...and as "Artists" 😆 we appreciate things of beauty, and we want things of beauty!

Most of the time I have no idea what he's talking about. But I can't get enough of it.

[LetiB]

He nailed it ! exactly what you see YouTubers do, promote a camera system, and then purchase another … lol …

[cheapaudioman]

Where have you been my whole life. Wonderful video and delivery

[farouk]

The humor is top notch on this channel I love it! 18 MPG is pretty good considering the smile the drive put on your face.

[eugeneBai]

Ok, I am definitely not regret for subscribing to your channel...☺ Good job! Waiting for continuing

I'm a fuji shooter and love my gear, but equally are getting a kick out of your blunt assessment of their gear. LMAO. You should defo be a Fuji X ambassador, that would make my day.

Definitely not from a business POV, but it definitely scratches that creative itch I enjoy from film. God, "recipes" and the ability to create your own is so enjoyable and it keeps me focused on what I want to shoot vs being too concerned about editing. Take a shot, looks great, on to the next one. Fuji is top tier.

[eyegrey]

I always find it funny when I see someone on YouTube shooting Leica and praising their superior camera and then talk about how they edit their pics with Fuji, Kodak or other presets in Lightroom.

I've been a Nikon shooter since starting photography more than a decade ago. I am a professional, shooting all kind of events, including video, as well as stock photography at a high end stock agency. One of my best purchases was the Nikon Z9. I know people say marry your lenses and not the bodies (and I have good lenses) but I've never gotten an upgrade so big which has eased my work immeasurably. The perfect, near instantaneous autofocus meant that I no longer have out of focus images. The lack of mechanical shutter meant that I can go out, make 50000 images (although the time it would take to go through them would be crazy), and the camera would be the same as new. All in all, the reliability you get from Nikon but especially from their pro bodies is amazing. I am not making an ad for Nikon. I see friends who are equally happy with an R5. I wanted to say that bodies are important, they can ease your work, and there are brands which give you an amazing middle ground.

Wow memories, back in the day i used the Hasselblad 500cm and a Leica M4. Loved those cameras, definitely my 2 favorites. Love your content, I'm a new subscriber checking out some of your older videos. Good practical info, thank you.

You can have a Blad and an M6 outside work as your personal cameras. Old Blads can be found reasonably cheap. And I would get an M3 (way cheaper than an M6), especially if you shoot with a 50 and a 90...

Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus and I am happy. For the street they are perfect. No special editing software required, and no mechanical issues -- just great simply cameras for the street. I also have a Canon -- may be selling my Canon RP and lenses soon. Nikon Z5 + 40mm works wonders on the street. Great camera I bought for a grand.

Hey there - excellent video and thx for sharing. I actually went through the journey from Fuji X to GFX to Hasselblad X Systems and back to a Fuji X. I am a hobbyist and even there, the practicality of film simulations kind of meant more to me than the 102 MP excellent color of the X2D and it’s excellent lenses. Let alone the need for a lot faster hardware and more NAS files. I may get that M6 or rather a 500cm but even for private use, when you don’t want to miss a shot - use the 100vi 😂🎉

[lesath]

I disagree that everyone wants a Haselblad.
It's good that is your dream camera.
But I learned to shoot on a Minolta T301.
I love the reflex system and the fact the light that I see is the light that enters through the lens.
The simplicity of putting the eye to the viewfinder, matching the aperture and speed to the meter indicator, and pressing the shutter.

And while my Minolta is absolutely no ergonomic at all, my Nikons are.

"This is where we make money, to do stupid things at home". That is beautiful. Laughing my ass off, thank you!

[johnpujol]

I miss my M6. It’s the horrendous cost of film/processing/scanning that makes it less attainable in my opinion, not the actual camera and hence my reason for selling it. The X100V doesn’t come slightly close to the experience of shooting an M6 but at least each time I press the shutter it’s not draining my bank account.
