Im buying 1 next week for 126 usd for mint fullbox condition

[MightyMitts]

Knew as soon as I saw the title, went to look for one and yep, $500+ They hype is real. Playing that much for a point and shoot from 8 years ago is absolutely insane.

Thank you so much for calling out film labs for not including prints with scans! With the exorbitant prices labs charge today, its about time someone told them to come correct. Thank you, also, for encouraging people not to buy this particular Fuji camera for more than it’s reasonably worth. Love your channel!

I noticed after spending 3 years learning about photography and purchasing a huge full frame. I'm more likely to take something small like this when going out to shoot for fun. You get to the point in your photography journey where you can actually take great photos with any camera, im mind blown with i can do with an old canon SX400 bridge camera, applying the knowledge i've learned from using my full frame. Another thing is that if you're taking random street photos, people are much more comfortable if they know you're taking a quick snap with them in frame with a small camera, rather than a huge intimidating professorial camera.

My similar camera is Sony RX100 (version 1) which still works great and is super portable. Of course, main reason fuji and others aren't making pocketable point-and-shoots is because the smartphone camera market has taken that over (in the consumer space, which these were designed for). Even in the enthusiast space, smartphone cameras are dominant. I still love the feel and control of a dedicated camera as a photo-making tool, though.

Loved every photo. And they look fine to me on a 55-inch 4K TV. You carried the camera and you took the shot, while living your life. Nailed it 😊

Fuji had a number of interesting and under appreciated pocket cameras. Buried in a box somewhere I have two of their ruggedized XP series that did well for me for a few years. The last of which was the XP140. For a small sensor cam, it had 16mp and a BSI sensor (though not XTrans). Currently, my pocket cameras are Sony RX100 VII and ZV1, but my APSC are Fuji. Compacts don't get much love, especially with phone advances. Also, everyone has been told they need big sensors to do even mundane camera jobs. There's a level of good enough that isn't sexy.

I've fallen down the digicam rabbit hole pretty hard... I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for one of these now! I really appreciate how you recommend against buying if it gets over a certain dollar amount... Great video, thanks for putting this together!

I have used the XQ2 since 2014 and always has it with me, I even took it to the summit of Cho Oyu the Worlds 6th highest mountain and got some amazing images. As you say it never gets in the way. It is so small and light weight that there is no excuse for not having it with you. I am satisfied with the image quality even though in my daily work I am a Hasselblad X2D shooter, for its size it’s a very good camera.

[tonypulido]

Recently found out about the old XF10 and it’s another gem in the Fuji lineup. Underrated in my opinion. Picked mine up in mint condition, eBay from Japan for $400.

I used my Canon S95 for a decade until I replaced it with the S110 (wifi image transfers) from Canon USA for just $100 new. Gave the S95 to a relative and its still being used. Great pocketable cameras.

[anisolo]

Beautiful in-depth presentation. Your love for the camera and photography is infectious. Makes me want to get one right now!
Also, Love your cap!

[leafnovice]

Great review. I like your logic about capturing the moment, rather than chasing down the specs and the 'gear'. I've got (literally) thousands of family photos - lots of which are never going to win any prizes, but ALL of them do make us smile when we remember those moments. 😎

[Jonathan-hulk]

You’ve inspired me to find something like this for my own wedding next year. We’ll have a photographer on the day, but I’ll still want to take some of my own. Amazing photos from this little beast

[emeraldisland]

Inspirational Dee, thank you! Photography is about life and capturing the moment.

[deejaypile]

Beautifully said. One of my favorite videos on this subject. Clear, honest, straight to the point, but still goes in depth. Keep going brother! Subbed. Excited for more.

[jiujuntang]

You are a philosopher and a poet and talks clearly. Subbed.

[Mulokaj]

Dear dee, same here. Got also wife and a kid and i dont like to carry my xpro 3 all day. I bought the griii diary edition and im really in love with the camera. I dont have big hands so i got no problem with die dial and i use the cam as a simple point and shoot including some really nice ricoh recipes. Best choice because as you also said. You focus on the scenery and not on the cam. You want to be part of it. Cheers, Gio

[kandaanurag]

You are the best my friend. I was looking for a camera but was unable to reach on a decision. Your this video gave me the clarity about what a camera and photography is all about. AMAZING EXPLANATION.
GREAT WORK.
THANKS.

The XQ2 is a delightful camera but I'm not sure what planet you need to visit to find one around $200, waaay too late for that. If you're not stuck on the Fujifilm color profiles try to find a Panasonic LF1, it's about the same size, has a longer zoom (24-200 eq) and a small viewfinder. Not a Fuji but a great little cam to have in your pocket.
