Are you a teacher? Or were before YT? I am a photographer for 8 years, I watch like dozen of YT channels in French or English, you are definitely the best one to explain any basic or complicated things to the audience.

[paulasimson]

Chris, no one else is doing this type of testing. So helpful and useful - thank you!

[nrylanb]

I must say as a Fuji owner I enjoy how you get into all the quirks of the camera, specially the non obvious stuff

[jonnyfarmer]

I shoot Lossless compressed for everything. Another very well informed post.

[coogeebolli]

The amount of work that goes into your videos is incredible. The insight appreciated.

[miscbrahh]

You are consistently the most thorough YouTube photographer. I am delighted when I have a question and a google search brings me to a video you made. It almost always is answered thoroughly.

[joewilmot]

You are a rock star. This was super helpful. I’m shooting lossless uncompressed, but I’m switching to lossless compressed immediately. No need for those 57 meg shots.

[krzysztofzwolinski]

Many people don't realise how important this subject is. Thank you really much for this video.

[victor-ferreira]

Always, always excellent tips vs investigations! The best Fujifilm channel out there!!!

[duskateru]

I follow you for over 1 year and half and I LOVE you each time I watch a new video… not kidding! you’re the most fun and with rich information to watch!!!! keep up 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[jfcunningham]

Your videos are absolutely stellar! Sure I learn from many Fuji vids and tutorials on YouTube, but yours are always where I learn the most information in the shortest amount of time, and walking away actually knowing something that sticks in my brain. Thank you for your efforts and attention to detail. You really know how to relate essential information without useless fillers. I wish more YouTubers delivered information the way you do. Keep on Rockin (in a free world?)!

I needed this so much, thank you for not rushing it and doing it properly instead ;) you the real MVP sir

[ewoutgsa]

Changed my setting from uncompressed to lossless immediately. I lost count of the settings I changed because of your advice. Thanks so much!

The other week I was wondering why Fujifilm X-T2 files are so much bigger than Nikon D750 files, and someone on Reddit explained that Nikon uses lossless compression. It made me look for an option to turn that on in my Fuji and I’m so glad I found it. I wish I had been shooting with lossless compression since I got my X-T1 over 5 years ago. Would have saved so much hard drive space.

[pavel]

You are so thorough. Thank you for doing all the tests most of us can’t even come up with. Very helpful indeed

[JohnChubbSr]

Thank you, Chris for leaving no stone unturned. Always great work!

[JustZG]

Excellent video! I've just purchased an gfx100s and so file management has become more important than ever. This was super helpful, thank you so much for the content as always!

[AJ-emrb]

the only difference i've seen between lossless compressed and uncompressed in fujifilm files is that uncompressed files have a jpeg built in so that there is a preview on Mac computers even if the camera is unsupported by Mac firmware (lke the XT3).

[Mowikan]

Thx for testing this! And I keep shooting in uncompressed raw, just like you said: storage is cheap. AND thx also for testing the life span of your mechanical shutter 🙃🤪

[sweetnice]

Love the depth Chris...U make understanding Fuji cams worth understanding 😁👌
