X-H2S and X-S20 in my bag these days. I have used Sony, Canon, and Panasonic. I like to try new systems now and then. Main reason I like Fuji is the quality of the image, size, weight of body and lenses. They are also great looking cameras and inspire me when I pick them up. The X-S20 with a small fujinon f/2 prime or f/1.4 prime is just fun to use!

I use micro four thirds. As a disabled photographer the weight and size is great. But the Olympus lenses are superb and the extra reach with long lenses is a no brainer.

I have the X-T1 and 2. The 1 has the 27mm f2.8 on it and now resides in my work bag in the car, which means I have a camera with me where ever I go. The 2 is my main camera and I love it. I don’t do video so didn’t see the point in going for the X-T3 at the time. I’m just an amateur and do most styles of photography.

Hi Ian, am really enjoying the tutorial package and fortnightly developing sessions. I had been a Canon user for years and was very happy with wildlife and landscape images. I made the very big (financial) decision to move over from Canon to Fuji XT2 8 years ago largely for the same reason as you, to lighten the load. Also I wanted to return to my early 1960’s camera experience and have mechanical control over my aperture, speed and ISO. I have not regretted this decision and really enjoy the very real hands on experience of creating images.

I'm probably a unique Fuji user, as a portrait photographer, I use the X100 VI in the studio, and for mobile studio.. why, I photograph action (dance, gymnastics etc) and having a leaf shutter on a reasonable wide angle lens allows me to capture full body shots and freeze the action with flash at 1/2000

Being able to use any flash and not requiring expensive HSS solutions (that are not always portable) helps.

I also use the X-T3, and X-T5 for normal portraiture too

Do enjoy your work, Ian. And your attitude — your enthusiasm, love — for the environment you inhabit, and capture so eloquently. So that we on the other side of place can smell those rocks; the wild flowers and grasses. Fine stuff.

Hello Ian, I use 2. XT4’s one with the 70 to 300 attached to it and the other one the 16 to 55 Mark one and soon Mark two. I also have the XS 20 with the Viltrox 13 attached to it. So when I go on photography trips here in the Yukon Canada I just whip out the camera with the lens attached to it and do not need to swap lense in the field. Thank you inspire. God bless you.

wow! I've been following your channel for a while now and had never been this early to a video premiere. Excited to tune in! #fujigang

Just started using the fuji xe1 again. Forgot how good it is, especially with the xf18mm f1.4. The raw files processed in dxo pure raw 4 look great. I think the Ricoh gr3 and gr3x are my two go to cameras, they are incredibly good.

I have owned APS-C and full-frame Nikon, Canon, and Fuji and at the time loved them all. I now shoot with a Fuji GFX 100s and enjoy the quality of images, color, and dynamic range, to name a few.

[BrianGeorgeGaming]

I used an X-T1 since 2020 and absolutely loved it. Earlier this year I picked up an X-T3, and it's everything I already loved and more. I actually mostly shoot film, but I always get a kick out of using my Fuji gear.

[jennifercall]

It’s good to learn about your equipment and application. I am Sony myself but your discussion is applicable in my processes. I understand you better knowing these details.

[charliethompson]

Ian, there's ALWAYS reason for another visit! Your photographic skills are inspiring, even to this 72-year-old amateur. Started my journey with an Argus 126, I believe. Even at 11 years of age, I envisioned myself to be as good as the World's BEST photographer: my dad! My first 35mm film camera was the Canon AE-1. Naturally, I progressed to DSLR, then Mirrorless. Although I've remained loyal to Canon (R6 is my go-to), I entered the Fuji world with an EXCELLENT X-T3, including a few lenses.
Of course, I'll not part with any of it, in hopes to pass something worthwhile down to my 4 Grandchildren! Keep up the good work. We all look forward to your inspiration!

Hi Mr Worth, since you ask what it is I am using, here it is : Sony A7IV with Sigma 28-70 2, 8 lens, sigma 100-400 5, 6 and Tamron 17-24 2, 8, K&F Tripod + ball head and geared head, Godoy flash and distance flash shutter, filters of all kind, and rings (collars) to transform my lenses in macro lenses. Why all that you might ask ? Since I am not really in only one activity I did not took any chances, but now I believe I am more and more into landscaping photography, Thanks to you !!!! Have a great day ! 14:00

What a beautiful place you found to enjoy your photography! And your Fuji camera is sweet! I've always liked the way Fuji cameras look and I might just get one someday. Currently shooting with an Olympus Em5 Miii with some nice glass. Plenty enough camera for me and seems to be holding strong so I'm set for awhile. Thanks for your wonderful videos!

[manueldinisphotography]

I did switch from my Canon 90D to the X-H2 as well and for the same initial reasons you stated, weight. Now that I have been using it for almost a year an agree with your experiences. In my case I bought the system with a 56 mm 1.4 and 80 mm 2.8 macro because I was focusing on using it for commercial work ( I am still learning) but, now that my trip to Santa Marta, Colombia is approaching I have been looking for a wider lens and based on my research I will be going with the 16-55 mm 2.8 I am sure I will enjoy it.

[barrytaylor]

Hi Ian, I did exactly the same, moved from Nikon to Fuji and although my old D700 is a classic, I didn’t look back. Chose the XT3 to start, recently moved to XT5 and it does everything I need. Although the weight saving was my primary reason the beautiful images, great colour and black and white rendering, (the film simulations are a joy) and ease of use make Fuji a real contender against any other make, full frame or not. Thanks for the videos. Baz

Yet another fantastic video Ian, thanks for your content and your thoughts. I'm a Fuji fan of sorts. My first mirrorless experience was with them and I really liked their system. I've had multiple cameras from them (xt3, xt30, xe3, xe2, x100t) and a fair amount of lenses (16, 23, 27 35, 35, 56, 10-24, 18-55, 55-200)... . I used this for landscape, wedding, and video for a few of years.

Today, I still have the xe2 and the 27mm and I love it for fun shooting. I bought into Sony for wedding photo/videography, and I didn't think it was reasonable to have two different set-ups for so I sold most of my Fuji gear. I feel that the modern Sony's are better for work, but I miss the film sims and pleasure of the Fuji cameras. Fujis are just fun to shoot. The Sony is just a (great) tool.
I would add, in particular to landscapes, I find that there are more (and better ?) lenses for Sony landscape than for Fuji. However, they're heavier, as you mentioned. My current setup is a74 + 20-70 + 50-400. It's fantastic to have that range with two lenses, but the kit is heavy...


Thanks again for your content, Ian, look forward to your next vid. Cheers

Hi Ian, Another great video. Thanks for sharing. I've just recently started dipping my toes into the Fujifilm pool with a near mint X-T1. Wow! A Canon APS-C has been my workhorse for sometime but I wants to experience the manual control provided by the xt1. I just love this little beast. Sure there are some draw backs, but, I think this is a Hall of Fame camera. Fantastic picture quality. Cheers.🙏
