Fuji Guys - FUJIFILM X-Pro2 - On The Streets Of Montreal, QC

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

awesome camera big fan of the X100 series Ive just bought a used XP2 cannot wait to shoot it. cheers for the vid.

[@Jakethejakee]

Love these more informal, casual videos. More please!

[@fujiguys]

Thanks for the feedback. We are planning on more of this style of video. Stay tuned and/or subscribe to our channel.

[@Guenounovitch]

I've always wondered how you guys could shoot street photos ; People are watching you thinking you're a freak and very few people can understand what street photography means, the passion and everything behind it. I probably would try it again, but it takes time to get used to it and be natural, not shy and getting out our confort zone... I kinda admire street shooters !

[@oc2phish07]

I have been using my X-Pro2 since March 2016 and love it. Really nice to see this video of you putting the camera through its paces.

[@fujiguys]

Thank you for watching!

[@ericbeaton7211]

Really worthwhile and honest review of the X-Pro2. Wish someone would do similar review of the older X-Pro1 's capabilities without the mythology.

[@abchappell01]

Really cool video presentation 👍🏾

[@carrieannkouri2151]

This is great. I got the X-Pro 2 a few years ago, and never leave on a trip abroad (including Montreal) without it. Cheers!

[@fujiguys]

Thanks for the feedback. We're glad you are enjoying the X-Pro2.

[@yegstreetcarshows409]

Great video Francis, you're such a great addition to the Fuji Guys! I loved seeing your photos of Montreal's streetscapes. I just recently converted from Sony to an X-T20 kit, fell in love with it after using it for a weekend. Can't wait to start using it full time!

[@fujiguys]

Thanks for watching!

[@kayreezy]

This was an awesome video! Loved your street photos

[@fujiguys]

Thank you for watching!

[@Blindspotnj]

Nice video. I love the stills you took with the 23 f2. I have the 16 1.4 and it's big. I was worried about light at night, any I went with 1.4 but I see how nice the camera is at f2.

[@fujiguys]

The f2's are quite nice! You would be surprised how they handle in low light....that said...you made no mistake with the 16mm f1.4! Thanks for watching!

[@tamilhoward9708]

Thanks Francis for showing the X Pro2 some love!

[@fujiguys]

You're welcome! We love it too!

[@RomainDREUX]

Thanks Francis for showing Montreal ;) I so like your movies youtube, i'm converted to Fuji from Nikon for one month! it's the awesome fuji's world

[@fujiguys]

Welcome aboard!

[@moodyrcf]

hello fujiguys. can you ask fuji to update the viewmode on fuji x-pro 2. i dont want to cycle through everything. i just want viewfinder only (to save battery) and eye detect mode only. the rest i dont need. also, viewfinder only seems to only show the menu inside the viewfinder instead of showing it to the back LCD. please update. :)

[@DavidianCreative]

This video re reminded me why i enjoy shooting with my Xpro1

[@AwesomeKicks]

Pretty impressive low-light video from that little X-T20! Appreciate that you always mention which camera you use in the description. I'm planning on picking up the Fuji X-T20 and your videos help me to decide!

[@AwesomeKicks]

I wonder which lens you use when making your videos?

[@fujiguys]

Hi! For field videos we use the XF23mmF2. With the X-T20, this allows us to easily push and pull focus using the touch screen!

[@AwesomeKicks]

Fuji Guys Channel Thanks for the reply! One more question: Will there be any issues if I use the 18-55 with OIS on a gimble?

[@fujiguys]

It should be fine with or without. We typically use primes on the gimble.

[@chrishorner3954]

Great. So much more than a promotional video.

[@fujiguys]

We try! Happy you enjoyed!

[@jas_bataille]

For once, a concise, to the point, great video that show us how the camera performs, not why some people think it sucks because their thumb is to big for the nipple or such BS. It's amazing, and BTW, Francis mon gar t'es bon en tabarnak!!! Gros photographe man, rarement vu d'aussi bon shots pour une démonstration très impressionnant. Maintenant que j'ai vu le software X-Pro RAW en action en studio, feedback immédiat avec client et modèle, c'est le futur, m'en va économiser pour la x-pro 2, et vendre ma Canon et ma Nikon sauf les lentilles Nikkor qui sont mes préférés mais elle s'adaptent parfaitement. Une x-pro 2 et la medium format et on est en business pour les 25 prochaines années

[@fujiguys]

Merci pour les commentaires!

[@paweljozwiak80]

nice video, thx Fuji Guys

[@fujiguys]

Thank-you for the feedback Pawel.

[@jeangoron3739]

Comment mémoriser l'exposition en gardant le choix de la mise au point Merci pour le retour , je ne sais quel réglages il faut faire ?

[@fujiguys]

Bonjour Gigi, appuyez sur le bouton AEL et gardez le enfoncé. Merci !

[@jeangoron3739]

Fuji Guys Channel Merci mille fois , ca fonctionne à plus

[@coltonkleins]

Can you guys please make a review on fujifilm xa10 ?

[@thomas9884]

Great video. Will try out your Astia recipe tonight! 😉

[@lim2001burger]

Love the style of this video :D

[@tamilhoward9708]

Yep; if they would just update that nerdy "Fujiguys music intro" everything would be super cool like their cameras.

[@panovij.yasemin8066]

Nice video, but one question you talk about the recepies in your last video, but where can I find it? Do you have a link for the video of the film simulation recepies?

[@fujiguys]

The last video where the film simulation is mentioned I believe was in the X-T2 vs X-T20 video. I think the key is that you can, by using the different shadow and highlight saturations and using the menu and different film simulations, is that you can get the exact results you want right in the camera....all of this can be done in camera RAW processing after the image as well.

[@JeraCravoMyself]

Great video Francis!!!! Question: lots of auto-focus shots hen in the gimbal? I see some hunting once in a while, but not too bad... How did it work for you guys?

[@fujiguys]

Sorry for the late reply, we needed to reach out to Francis who was on the road. AF-C was used for the whole shoot, the hunting happened because the camera was set to ''area'' and as he was moving, he got out of the square area and then the AF caught rapidly to what was in the square for that short period of time

[@zoranzambo7364]

I wish there was more on the x-pro 2. My fav camera. BTW.. What camera bag is that?

[@fujiguys]

It is a Domke F803. They are available for Canadians at myfujifilm.ca and for the US, check FUJIFiLM retailers.

[@zoranzambo7364]

What about EU?

[@fujiguys]

This is a North American innitiative. Don't believe it is available. US retailers may ship to EU....you would have to check with them.

[@zoranzambo7364]

Thanks for the quick responses!

[@fujiguys]

Our Pleasure!

[@daniellevalenzuela3132]

Hey; I was curious on what lens to buy if I wanted to shoot pictures of the stars? I currently shoot with a Fujifilm X-T10

[@ryanthomas9306]

Danielle Valenzuela 16 1.4

[@gerrykingsley]

Looking to buy one now actually, but I'm wondering if I should wait for a successor before switching brands. Or will the xpro2 be around for a while yet?

[@fujiguys]

Hi Gerryatwork, sadly, we can't comment on unreleased models, but with FW upgrades adding new features, the X-Pro2 should be a great choice!

[@markblueticksrbest4928]

Can you tell me how to take a long exposure with an X-Pro2? I only know how to get up to 1-second exposures. Thanks!

[@fujiguys]

HI Mark. If you put the top shutter speed dial to "T", you can then use the front command dial to adjust the shutter speed for exposures as long as 15 minutes.

[@markblueticksrbest4928]

@@fujiguys I have done exactly that, but it only goes up to 1". Any other suggestions?

[@fujiguys]

When using Electronic Shutter, the longest exposure is 1". Try changing to Mechanical Shutter, you should be able to go longer; up to 15 minutes.

[@dropyvisuals4355]

Does the 1.4 xf lenses does not look good on a xpro body?

[@mougabo]

Loved this video man , thank you so much , made me want to go and shoot. Does every Fuji x camera have the raw editing within camera you talked about? Also once you are done editing your raw file, can you create a jpeg file within camera?

[@fujiguys]

All FUJIFILM X-Series models have the ability to process a RAW file, after capture, and create a separate .jpg file in the camera.

[@ryanthomas9306]

This video got so many views and likes compared to the spot light series because it's so informal whereas the series are just plainly ads

[@KevinRusso]

Does this camera work in the US or just Canada? Does it take good histograms? :)

[@jas_bataille]

It works in the US, although you have to get a Visa for it. The histograms it takes are quite good, the photos not so much, but as an histographer myself I'm pretty impressed.

[@cameraman655]

CANADA ONLY! In Quebec, every bloody word better be in French, anything in English will get you booted out of the Province.......ehhh!

[@JayFrederick]

Only problem is that the histogram doesn't have IBIS so it's currently useless but I hear it's getting one in a firmware update.

[@TommiHG]

Great video! PS. Where I can buy that cap? Looks awesome!

[@fujiguys]

Thanks TommiHG, Canadian residents only at myfujifilm.ca , could be slightly different.

[@TommiHG]

Fuji Guys Channel any way for global shipping? :(

[@fujiguys]

Sadly no.

[@ANTH000NY]

Do you guys ship US?

[@fujiguys]

Unfortunately no.

[@NetvoTV]

If money wasn't a problem, I looking for my first camera to shoot manual, event, travel, and KZbin video, I'm not looking to buy an amateur camera and then upgrade to a pro system, just want to straight get a decent camera that I can learn and then use it as a main camera. I have been deciding between 3 camera, Fuji X100F, Leica TL2 and Leica Q2, which do you think is suitable for me in long term? Q2 haven't announce yet but base on Q1 and rumor it should be no much different than quality n features upgrade. For the TL2, I going to get the 11-23mm wide angle lens first and will not get anymore lens anytime soon I'm a huge Sony fan and I have been thinking to get RX100/RX10/A7 lineup camera(not A6XXX because this series of camera is like half boiled egg) for their innovative and video quality but their camera layout is not suitable for pure manual shooting, so I have to look for other camera first before I get a Sony. So which camera you think I should get? And what video solution you suggest me? I also thinking to get a Sony camcorder, AX55 because it has flip out screen, nigh vision , B.O.S.S., 4K(no s-log), good(should be) 5.1 build in mic and long zoom, would be a great combo with the camera in the peak design sling(which I like and want to get one as well). Or I should get the RX100 V for video? Does Leica Q2/TL2 justify the price? Does the special Leica signature color on their photo is way beyond the Fuji color? Or X100F is good enough?

[@fujiguys]

With all this wonderful information, we would probably recommend the X-T2....this will pretty much cover everything you are asking for. As we are employees of FUJIFLM, our opinions may be biased.

[@NetvoTV]

Fuji Guys Channel oh I see, though this is a independent channel, no T2 is not for me, too big, in Fuji camera I only like the X100F, so I need honest opinions, not biased After some research, I will get the next Sony RX10 IV for video, and the next Leica Q2 or Fuji X100F for manual photography, Fuji IQ always like a film and artistry, not like real life color, it's cool but sometime I want real life color, and Leica Q2 might have 4K so higher chance I will get Leica Q2, but if I decided to get 3 camera then I will get all, X100F, RX10 IV, and Leica Q2

[@fujiguys]

Keep in mind, Fujifilm has several film simulations....you may like using say Astia, and toning down the shadow highlights to get an image you are looking for. I don't think any other brand can give you that flexibility. The X100F is a great choice especially for everyday camera. Quick and amazing AF speeds, awesome Hybrid Viewfinder. Video is stunning in 1080p. Decisions, decisions! Good luck!

[@WhiteWulfe]

Out of sheer curiosity, how is it if you're a left eye shooter?

[@fujiguys]

Gord (a left-eye shooter) says it took just a little time getting used to how to hold the X-Pro2 to avoid getting his nose prints on the LCD screen.

[@earlrogersjr3026]

Where do I find raw conversion in my menu I have the X pro 2

[@fujiguys]

In Playback mode, when viewing the image you want to convert, press the Q button. This is enable the RAW conversion options.

[@samshan8069]

Yes correct, only available in Canada.

[@carmelomarcelin4534]

[@rexrr1607]

XT-2 did a good job.omg!

[@RobynASDxxx]

Seems like the X-T20 takes amazing video, the images from the X-Pro2 looks fantastic too, though the fuji jpegs piss all over most other brands jpegs! I wont ever part with my fuji gear now, and i will soon invest in an X-T20!

[@chirag4]

i used the XPro2 + 23mm f/2WR for half an hour, a couple of months back. I liked the dimensions/shape/form-factor/fit-finish and it being a Rangefinder-styled camera, but disliked its build, as the heft + solidity was found wanting. I want more metallic feel to the camera, but then, even my Canon 6D feels plasticky + hollow. Yes, of course Fuji is not Leica that costs a fortune. Thanks for the video. Regards.

[@chirag4]

the 23mm f/2 lens isn't sharp at close range, and is good only for shooting subjects that are a little away or at infinity ? . . . perhaps yes, as many have complained on YT and other forums too, or was it just me ?

[@chirag4]

the 2-in-1 ISO + SS combined Dial is cumbersome, and the worst thing about the XPro2

[@eagleeyephoto8715]

Chirag Parikh That must be your perception, had same feeling until I start to use it daily.Build is more than solid (way above that XT-2 junk, mine broke 3 times in 3 months and I will not buy that junk anymore). I have xpro-1 and since few weeks xpro-2 and the last one is step above both pro-1 and pro-2.Never had any issue with iso dial, and that coming from the ergonomic nightmare called xt-2.Everybody complain about Iso dial amd nobody mentioned XT-2 joystick, and you have to use both hand to play and to change iso on xt. You should try xpro for a couple of day's it is a puur fun to use one, and build does not look solid after 1/2 hour (I was also wrong first time) but now it is safe to say that build is on high standard.

[@chirag4]

thanks eagleeye photo for your comments, i appreciate your views, and would reuse XPro2 to reconfirm my findings, hopefully i will be proven wrong the next time. Also, good to know your negative feedback or rather, the rightful criticism about the XT2, so i can be ready beforehand if the opportunity presents itself and i get a chance to see it. Like you said, it is an Ergonomic nightmare, having ISO dial that needs 2 hands to rotate, and problematic Joystick (tiny lever ? if yes, what's the point of having it in the first place, i have same complaint about joystick on 5D3, others may have no issues with it, but i've never liked it ; thankfully there's none on my 6D), etc. good news for us, money saved on one more camera. What are your initial thoughts on the 6D2, and the upcoming D820 & A7III ?

[@eagleeyephoto8715]

Chirag Parikh They are all great camera's if you are in to Dslr and have already some good glass for it. For me is not the option, (read as not going back to dslr due to my back issues). 6D2 lacking some dynamic range they say , but if you know what you exposing for than is this no issue on any camera also a lot of good and heavy L glass available.It is step up for current 6d users. d850 is good for landscape, portret and product photography , pair with wide angle lenses and you will have a very capapable combo. Sony a7III probably the one and only allround camera from Sony. No size advantage and certainly not compared to something like xpro-2 with Fujichrone lenses (all 3 f2's are daily in my bag). XT -2 is ideal if you used and coming from Nikon, it has more plastic and plastic feeling than xpro's , so for Nikon dslr shooter it might be nice camera but for me due to reliability issues and ergonomics is not quite nice thing.

[@mattl9194]

Think I'm almost sold..

[@juiceplanet147]

Why do you turn off the comments when its female photographers? Also why NO Latinos or Hispanics or African Americans photographers being shown on this channel? Just wondering!

[@fujiguys]

FUJIFILM is a global company and supports a wide and diverse range of photographers around the world. While we cannot possibly feature everyone on Fuji Guys you can see our current line-up of X Series Photographers at fujifilm-x.com/photographers/

[@davidlewis726]

Stills not long enough on the screen to read and absorb the information....I know this is a sales pitch but let the results from the camera do more of the talking.....I kept thinking you were trying to hide something.

[@fujiguys]

This video was more about experience with the X-Pro2. We do have top features videos that would give you a bit more of that. Thank you for the feedback!

[@davidlewis726]

The way it came over to me was the feeling it was more promoting the presenter than the product. I Shoot Fuji and have spent a lot of money on bodies and glass and my comments are from supportive standpoint.

[@fujiguys]

We take all feedback, good and bad....that way we get better! Thanks for watching!

[@张睿宸-d5f]

damn right!who needs a useless mirror and not mention DSLRs are so ugly

[@AmedeeBoulette]

ikr?!?

[@user-xk7pk7wq1x]

Montreal looks so boring. Didn't see anything of any interest. Visited the city in 90's. Same thoughts.

[@alexandrepiche5609]

It really depends on the day but I have no problem thinking New York or Vancouver are more special. You get to see some f*cked up things in Montreal quite often though but the cityscape isn't that amazing except for the Old Port which is absolutely gorgeous. Chinatown is nice but so small you don't really have anywhere else to look at but the main places there. To be honest there are many other spots to look at besides downtown Montreal.
