I’m a Fujifilm and Canon user. Fujifilm is what keeps my photography sharp and in love with the art of photography. Canon gets work done and is no fuss. Currently using the Fujifilm X-Pro1 as my EDC. Talk about a film-like experience. Love the video!

The dials, the size and retro design of the cameras, the SOOC and jpeg recipe are the main pillar of Fuji’s success.

Many people don’t realize that a camera that inspires you and brings you joy in your personal work inspires your client work also.

I've used Nikons for decades and I switched to Fuji mainly because of the size and weight but also the controls on top, the film simulations and the recipes. The lenses are sharp and less costly also.

Awesome mate. I recently did similar, and added an X-E4 to my kit as an everyday carry. Fell in love, and moved my hybrid camera over to an X-H2S. Couldn’t be happier. Everything is smaller and I’m shooting more.

Shot with the X-pro 3 on a recent trip to Japan with my custom settings. My results were as film like and beautiful as they can get with digital SOOC. I mostly shoot film myself. Fuji is on point lately

brand new to photography and I picked up an XT4 and I love it.

I love my XPro3. It really lets me enjoy photography much like when I started with a Pentax film camera in the 1970's!

[walkingmanvideo]

I agree with your views of the XPro3. I own one and enjoy using it. I specifically purchased it because I wanted the rear screen to be less accessible.

Some time ago I sold all my Canon gear (5D mark 3 cameras and lenses) and switched to Fuji X-T3. No regrets!

[TheKeithEds]

for those looking to buy, don't disregard the x-pro2. Some say the image quality is marginally better than the x-pro3.

[bwizzlethemc]

XPRO 3 and a 27 mm 2.8 pancake lens makes the perfect set up.

Fujifilm is the entry drug and Leica is the endboss that will haunt you for years if you ever use one.

I switched from micro four thirds to Fuji xt5 in January. Love this camera.

Fujifilm just feels right in the hands. Dials and buttons plus beautiful design makes you want to use it all the time. Results / outcome are really good. I have been using X-T2 for some years now and it just performs ⭐🤓👍

[Master-Grammar]

The silver top plate on my XT-4, the retro dials, the old school 1960's / 1970's aesthetic was a head turner for the first day I saw it. I totally agree, the Fujifilm camera lineup are some of the most beautifully designed machines around.

i got bored of sony, n didnt want to edit my photos when i shoot jpg/raw. so i opt for a smaller lighter fuji. loving it ever since

[Goughie]

Hadn't crossed your channel before! a few people in my comments pointing out the exact same title of our videos, some great content!

I was sick of sitting behind the screen editing raws. After shooting so many 35mm film shots I got used to, and looked forward to using my Olympus OM1 film camera more and more. Using the new Sony felt artificial when jumping over again, even though its a phenomenal camera I dedicate to my daily work.

The Fuji JPEGs look how I intentionally edit my photos, so Im looking forward to just running and gunning with it in Manual. Spend more time finding clever compositions and enjoying my day, rather than being chained to my desk with RAW edits all the time.

I've been shooting Fujifilm for about 8 years, I always buy used, and recently the markets across the whole range have doubled. Back in 2018 you could get and X-E3 for about $400 USD, now you'll be hard pushed to find one under $800.

Honestly I don't think you could do anything on a Fujifilm that you couldn't do with a Cannon for example. In fact some of Canon's in-camera look features are better once you incorporate the Camera Window software they give you in the box.

Either way, I wish this trend would die because my X-T2 and X70 are on their last legs and I want to replace them, but not for double the price I bought them for years ago. Unfortunately I have too many XF lenses to just jump system, but if I could, I'd go to Canon or Nikon, and Ricoh. They seem to be on trend for innovating more than Fujifilm over the past couple years. Fujifilm has always been slow off the line with that stuff. For example, the X-T5 is the first photo camera to really out perform the X-T2. Everything in the middle was like a mild upgrade to video features like Codecs and IBIS. The AF has barely improved too, leaving them in the dust behind even Panasonic with the new S5II. Not that it's unreliable, but it's definitely at the back end of the pack.
