Wow yet another camera video featuring dull trip hop and average photography. How about not carrying a camera around? How about thinking about what and how to make a series of photos instead of just a bunch of average images with too much processing? The state of photography on yt is abysmal. It’s not as if there are not thousands of videos about or by real artists on here from which we can educate ourselves and THINK about what we are doing first. Zzzzzzz

Used to own a Samsung nx 300 combined with a 30mm.f2 pancake prime as an everyday carry. Sold them solely because my gear was all around the place; too many different brands and cameras. Now I miss the fact that I was able to have a (jacket) pocket-camera pretty much everywhere I went . Thinking about getting an X-E3 + 27mm if/when the Fuji hype drops (already started to) and prices start making sense again.

I had to search up what the Samsung NX 300 was, I love how small they are! Looks like an ideal combo. I’m a massive fan of the 27mm so far paired with a smaller body, I’m sure the XE3 would work really well with it!
@XXX-vy6xv 24 күн бұрын
@ronan_duff they're small and quite capable for a 11 yo camera. And the IQ of that pancake was mindblowing. Makes you think what could have been if Samsung hadn't dropped off of the MILC game so early. Btw the nx500 is the same size with the nx300 but with even better ergonomics and a 28mp sensor. A great choice for people searching for a pocket cam.

Hi! Some really nice shots. My take on 18-55 after owning it for 3 years. Good: this lens is best suited for video. Bad: low light performance or indoor use when light is not ideal. I loved this lens until i ve bought xf33 f1.4, i didnt think prime can replace zoom, but whenever i swich to zoom, my shots feels uninspired, "flat", lifeless, compared to 33, i m not sure why exact, but photos with 33 feels special. Though for video i still prefer 18-55. I'd advise you to insert photos or video while you go thru your review. For example show some video footage while you talk about ois, or some shots while you talk about versatility, it would keep video dynamic more interesting. Anyway, thats just my take, wishing you all the best.

Its still providing joy to my photography which is the most important! i agree there's quite a few downsides to the camera as you mentioned already, like the AF and mediocre LCD.
