FUJI XT2 ON SALE OR THE FUJI XT20? OR Wait for the Fuji XT3?

[@kristiangurholt59]

I realise this is a four year old comparison, but still I’ve gotta say you’re such a good KZbinr! You present technical information in a logical fashion, combined with actually great buying advice beyond the “just get the newest thing”, all wrapped in an easy-to-digest and entertaining package. Seriously, you are so funny I find myself replaying moments just for the entertainment value👏

[@JohannesLabusch]

I didn't think there would be any reason to buy the x-t3, but man, those kitty ears look amazing!

[@RandyPollock]

Auto mode for X-T2 - Place Shutter dial on A / ISO on A / Lens rotate Aperture to A and AF to Cont

[@gaatzaat]

Yep, was about to comment the same thing.

[@beastffx]

Randy Pollock that’s not so fast and easy for beginner.

[@yanny2000]

most of the times that I try this and hand over my x-t20 the focus point is off. Automatic has this matrix (?) focus area that gets it at least almost sharp. Or am I missing sth?

[@imsupahdave]

Same thought when he first mention no auto mode.. hahaha

[@ald71]

Lol...I was SMH after he said that, I hand over my camera to family all the time with everything set to auto. Never a bad photo, maybe a couple of heads cutoff. Hahaha

[@kristinabraly]

Thank you for making me happy that I purchased my X-T20 three weeks ago. My heart sank today hearing about the X-T3 being released and I immediately began planning a return. However, I’ve decided I’m going to keep it and pass on the X-T3. I purchased the 20 for a more compact form factor. For major shots I recently purchased the Sony A7iii and couldn’t be happier with it. The Fuji is going to be, and has been, just like you describe: great for home movies and snaps while out and about or on vacation. Also, I’m picking up the 27mm thanks to you!

[@adamconstanza]

I LOVE my X-T20 and couldn't afford to change it anyway, so I'm keeping it 😃😃😃

[@ogonzilla]

Travel Inspired haha. Great idea

[@nickarora2641]

I picked up my X-t20 used for around $400 soo I'm good to go for a while. Excited to see how Omar uses the X-T2 though!

[@daphnedh9086]

Got it it to replace my aging XE-2. Never thought it would so much better then it is. The X-T20 has no weakness for enthusiasts. It can literally shoot everything and great 4k video too. (Short clips only)

[@willierivera4241]

Everytime im about to purchase a camera, another one catches my eye when i watch these videos.

[@jlgamez84]

Just got the XT2 at best buy for 1099.99. Was on the fence between that and the xt20 but when i saw that price drop I couldn't resist. It really is a great deal for that price. Also picked up the 23mm 1.4 lens and got 10 percent off that because of my birthday in August! Great vid man!

[@parkshilliard]

Omar: You already know my strategy (you have memorized user names and their previous comments, right?). 1. Wait until the X-T3 comes out and then buy a X-T2 at a really sweet price. Even better, a used X-T2 at a 9+ condition at one of NYC super stores. Guessing we will see prices for a used at around $700 and 30 days to try it out. ALL of my cameras and lenses have been bought used (I have more cameras and lenses than I need and want more than I have) and only one had one problem and the return was painless and easy. The NYC store (starts with a B) even provided a shipping label and paid the return postage (or was it UPSage). 2. If there is a X-T3 then maybe a X-T30. 90% of the features at 50% of the price. Hummm.... To repeat a couple of your points: - I never use the touch screen to focus or shoot. BUT I love the latest X-T20 firmware update. Touch and swipe on the Q menu is SWEET! - Weather sealing is important to me. That is why I have both a (used) X-T1 and a (used) X-T20. If weather is an issue I take my x-T1. (I have three WR lenses.). To be honest, I don’t see much difference in image quality between the 16 and 24 sensors, even in larger prints. - The EVF on my X-T1 is so much better than the X-T20. Guessing the X-T2 (and T3) are even better. - My only significant complaint with the X-T20 is it just doesn’t feel comfortable in my manly super stud man hands (actually they are kind of average). Yes, have a grip similar to yours, but I had to null the 3:00 D pad function position because my palm kept activating it. Your channel is great! Have learn a lot about about my X-T20 from you. Many thanks...!

[@ogonzilla]

Thanks so much! Great comment. The XT1 is also a great option for amazing savings.

[@bloodkaffeine5201]

I just got my XT20 thanks for your suggestion Omar. I really loved it. Your videos are always helpful.

[@jefferycampbell2243]

I was waffling between the X-T2 and T20 but bought the T2 the day the price dropped. Weather seal, EVF, and portrait tilt screen were the deciding features.

[@ogonzilla]

Jeffery Campbell EVF. Ahhhh

[@LordArioh]

XT2 and XT20 are great in features and performance, but I just so dig the X-E3 design. and it's also packed with all the Fuji goodness. Even tho I got few Canons, I just want this beauty in my collection. Some day.

[@haroldbernard3505]

I work with a lot of pro stills folk, definitely had xt 2 envy. I ended up buying the xt 20 though.. I realized the xt 2 was just way more than I needed. I stopped carrying my canon camera because it was too big. The xt 2 is also pretty big to carry around. Even on sale too much camera for my needs. If you really don’t need the extra features you can use the extra $200 towards a lens.

[@dereknelson7108]

Basically my reasoning for getting the t20. For me being more a hobbyist with the occasional paid gig, the xt20 does everything I need it to. I couldn't justify the extra money for very little gain.

[@janospinter3138]

I think the same way. In the near future I will buy a Fuji camera. At this moment only the lens is fix. It will be the 16mm f 1.4. I woluld like to use it during hiking, landscape, nature photography. The body: x-t2 or x-t20? I think 20 will be the winner. Lighter, smaller, same image quality.

[@sabretooth717]

I can tell by your happy kids faces that ur a fun dad at home..thx for the advice, sounds great

[@BenjaminFreddie]

I’m thinkin X-H1 now myself. I really like the ergonomics and I think the IBIS would actually come in handy for some of my videos. That X-T2 sale is an amazing deal though. 😁

[@ogonzilla]

I found it too "DSLRish" for me... Less hipster cred. lol...

[@BenjaminFreddie]

Haha! Yeah that’s fair. I love the function and feel of the old school Fuji dials, but the tiny grip is one of the few old school things that I don’t really like as much. I’m also looking forward to whatever interesting firmware updates for the XH1 are likely to come out in the next year

[@BenjaminFreddie]

I think if I was using two systems I would feel the same (i.e. Nikon and Fuji together). I'm planning to compare the X-H1 vs the X-T20 soon so I'll see my final thoughts then. I know that's kind of a funny comparison, but the setup I am thinking of adopting is the X-H1 for commercial / paid jobs and the X-T20 as my backup / street camera. :)

[@ogonzilla]

It's just great that there are options for all of us.

[@BenjaminFreddie]

Absolutely! :)

[@kevinmarkham6385]

honestly what its coming down to for me is i like the look, design, and size of the xt20 but i like the weatherproofing of the xt2

[@whoismikeq]

Jumping on the X-T2, but used. I picked up an X-T1 several months ago, excellent condition, from Adorama for $450 shipped. Will see how they price the excellent used X-T2s by the end of the year.

[@ogonzilla]

Great idea!!

[@vianditya]

Exactly my plan!

[@Astroo40k]

Right now as of today Adorama has it for $667 plus free shipping.

[@chuckashton9688]

That big beautiful viewfinder won me over. Buying used it's an even better deal. Perfect Fuji cam for me.

[@npdady]

I actually upgraded from XE2 to XT20 thanks to this video. Ended up not going for the XT2. Thanks Omar.

[@ferdiyansurya]

Want: XT20 with weather sealing! The size is just perfect to bring it along with me all the time! Besides, I’d rather invest on a good lens since it is also on sale here in my country!

[@FrancescoLibassi]

Had an X-T20 for about six months and was so happy with the results that I just picked up an X-T2 :-) The X-T3 might be much better but who cares! The important thing is going out and use whatever we have to make beautiful pictures!

[@LuckyLukeTF2]

Also gotta consider prices with lens, because then the difference is defenitely larger. Xt20 w/ 18-55 1089 eur, xt2 w/ 18-55 on sale 1500 eur. That's still a significant difference. I just got the xt20 since it's my first serious camera and I'm not sure if I'll need all the extra "pro" features. If I do then I can always upgrade to whatever comes next by then.

[@zettasze1013]

LuckyLukeTF2 highly recommend xt20 for starts, very!! "pro" have a larger size and may impact you not wanna bring it out and shoot much (same case with my canon 700d😗) Get the small one xt20 first! Xt20 very great! i love go everywhere with her❤️ it's fine that even i bring it out but didnt shoot that day, its not heavy for girl It's smaller, cheaper and same cmos with xt2! Love it

[@mwu365]

Didn't expect to see you here :D

[@zettasze1013]

Matthew Wu me?

[@marcjones7486]

I tried the xt20 and it was just too small. I ended up getting the xt2 . It feels more natural in my hands, I like the AF joystick better than the touch screen. Oh yeah the viewfinder is dreamy!

[@rickmason2579]

Even with the drop in price, for me size and weight matter. I bought the XT20 for bicycle touring, and it's still the right choice. It just fits in my handlebar bag with the cheap (16-50) lens, even with a CP filter. Allowed me some great shots this summer. Anything bigger wouldn't fit. As it is, it was a push to justify such a big camera, but that IQ :-) Now if it was just general carrying around, the decision would be tougher !

[@aarin1986]

i feel the same for my x-t20, and i dont know why :) it's just amazing!

[@alexborodin366]

First I bought X-T20, but when the price for X-T2 became so appealing, I got it, too, as the second (or primary) body. Now my xt20 is for 55-200 zoom, because tele lens allows to focus-by-center-point-and-recompose without loosing correct focus, and for shorter focal length x-t2 is superb with its joystick

[@clgrooms]

Love your videos, Omar. I was in this exact situation trying to decide between the two and just ordered the X-T2. Thanks for making all of these fun, entertaining, and informative videos, man!

[@thatkeendude8384]

Man, that XT3 is killer - that cat motif is incredible industrial design. Waiting for that for sure.

[@Gamin92]

That's a no brainer, too cute to miss

[@alexanderharden7307]

X-T2 after the release of X-T3 .Price will go down further during autumn

[@joelbaker6498]

Great comparison! I was looking at both a little while ago & bought the XT2 due to the size, feel, weather protection & especially the view finder!! It’s a much better camera. The XT20 is nice & compact. The touch screen is nice, but I don’t miss the touchscreen on my XT2. Awesome vlog as always!

[@irenedp4947]

I'm pretty happy with the XT2... for an APSC I don't need anything more. A sweet camera

[@thatericguy1]

This! This is where I am right now... trying to decide between these two. My problem is that I really want the size of the xt20, but want the more pro features of the xt2 (and that sweet shutter click!).

[@ogonzilla]

It's tough....The XT20 has that Mini cooper, folding bike, "fun factor" lacking in the XT2. If you hold them both...you will know.

[@thatericguy1]

Omar Gonzalez Photography yes! That’s what I keep telling myself, but not available in my city, unfortunately. When I can get out of town, I hope to find somewhere to compare them in hand. Thanks for the video.

[@ogonzilla]

Sure! Best of luck.

[@gaatzaat]

In the same boat here. I went out to the local fuji studio to play around with them yesterday. Just like he mentions in the beginning, once you look though that viewfinder in the XT2... It's a big plus for me. The body size was my main concern, but after handling them with lenses attached I actually felt much more comfortable and balanced using the T2 than the T20 or E3. Without lenses it's a different story, but of course you're not going to use them without a lens... I suppose if you plan to get the pancake lens or the small prime (18mm iirc) then yes, you'll have a lighter, more compact package, but once you stick a zoom (even the kit lens) or one of the bigger prime lenses on the front then that benefit of a smaller body is not so clear-cut.

[@sergeis6902]

I would definitely go for X-T2. The price difference is not that large now, X-T2 still a rather compact camera. In fact you will need some body size, grip and rigidity of connector for many of the fascinating lenses you can try on Fuji X system. Even such a workhorse as XF 50-200 would feel already funny and unsteady on XT-20. The build quality and feeling in the hand of X-T2 and X-T20 are light years apart of each other. Needless to say of weather sealing of X-T2, which is absolutely great and life saving feature. Some time ago I started with x-T10, primary attracted by compactness and lightweight as don't like to carry much of equipment. Then by accident switched to X-T1 and would never look back. Here is the same situation.

[@gibson4ever28]

I will still keep my X-E2 for a while and wait for an X-Pro3. But if you want that X-T2, it is a great time to buy it.

[@AmeliaHeldt]

If I could pick, I'd give a new X-T3 touch screen, flip screen, and IBIS, those extra features alone COULD make me move from my X-T20. Because they gave the X-T2 120fps in 1080p via a firmware update and I'm still salty about it (the X-T20 is its little brother, they should be able to hang out in creamy slow mo together). Plus the weather sealing. So a new X-T3 literally just needs those three features and IM THERE

[@ogonzilla]

The Beat Of Adventure totally forgot the 120fps! That was on my list of perks!! I don’t see IBIS. Companies love making cameras slightly imperfect so we buy two. Lol. X-H2 will continue with ibis. But ya nevah know.

[@AmeliaHeldt]

I know they'll never do it but A GIRL CAN HOPE dammit haha! Or at least throw OIS on some primes! The X-H1 is a near perfect camera but its so much bigger and has less of that vintage styling that makes it so covert for travel. Nobody wants to knick your "SLR film camera" when other tourists have DSRLs hehehe

[@mikaelamontesclaros5173]

Thank you for keeping your videos informative and fun!!!! I’m looking to get into photography for fun. I’ve been watching/reading reviews for different cameras but I tend to get lost in all the technical talk however your videos keep me engaged and are easy to follow along. 👏🏼

[@RonnieSaini]

I definitely love my X-T20 and you hit upon the exact same reasons I initially bought it for - compact size, price, great package overall from a travel camera point of view, thanks for the validation again!

[@dashadude]

Thanks so much for your review! The main thing I like about XT-2 is the weather sealing. I guess it is the great plus for travel photography.

[@viving0506]

🤣 you’re so funny. I’ve literally watched this video at least 5 times (well and also because I’m deciding between the XT2 and XT20).

[@turo9992000]

Which one did you get?

[@ivanples6724]

What did you get?:)

[@Hoosie_]

I started with the XT20, just added the XT2 to my collection and wow.... The EVF is amazing!!!!!

[@ogonzilla]

Yeah it is!!!

[@LuckyM83]

I saw all your video and I have t20 with 16 1855 and 56 . I only miss whether sealing in my camera. The rest suits my need because I like the small size of the camera. So I hope they update t20 in the future with this, but then I should update my lens too 35f2 and I hope a 56 wr

[@poppop-oj6by]

I would like the better viewfinder on the xt2. I sometimes shoot with old manual lenses and focussing might be a lot easier with a larger evf.

[@leightonsmith3807]

Picked my xt2 up today went all out and got the grip and 18-55 and 50-200 traded in my olympus em10ii.,and omg what a awsome camera sooooo nice to use can't wait to get out with it properly

[@ogn87]

I ended getting XT2 with the rebate, was going for the XT20 initially.

[@terrym45]

As I mentioned on one of your other videos - The X-T20 was driving me NUTS. Every time I picked it up the menu came on, every time I zoomed the lens the menu came on, because I am left eyed, my nose would change the focus. All of these problems are cause by its size, my thumb pad pressing on the menu button all of the time. I took it out for the weekend to Rocky Mt NP Image quality great but couldn’t get beyond that menu even with extensive customizing. Yesterday it went back and bought the X-T2. Got a great deal including the Power Grip. I miss the size of the X-T20 but I like the controls of the X-T2. THe EVF is amazing. It’s still smaller than my Nikons

[@taneltinnuri8985]

I sold my LOVELY X-T2 and bought basically for the same price X-E3. Yes it was painful thinking how much i paid for it! But i decided to go smaller form factor and i absolutely love it! Only downside is EVF (huge on X-T2) and tilting screen but for that part i use my X70 :)

[@CrisCozy]

I’m up in the air with purchasing the XT2 vs XE3 🤔

[@ogonzilla]

Hmmm...totally different dilemma you have there...lol . XE3= fun factor, small, and stealthy for street.

[@CrisCozy]

Omar Gonzalez Photography Same image quality and the form factor means a lot to me I like the range finder style. I have the xt10 and when using the evf my nose turns into a smash fest with the screen. I live in Florida it’s a pain when I’m sweating 😓 but for $200 more the xt2 sounds intriguing.

[@wagnerjean-francois942]

Cris Cozy I Love The X-E3! Rented One From Borrowed Lenses. I've Even Purchased Accessories For It, & I Don't Own 1 Yet. 😂 So Now The X-T2 Comes W/Its Pricing.😭😭😭 😕😕😕 #confused

[@grahamperks]

I have an XE3 - love it, though it's a bit small for my hands. I found myself agreeing with Omar about accidental touches on the screen. But the item that made me envious of XT20 is the mode dial! Much better than trips to the menu. I'd love an XE3 with a mode dial-and a fold out screen! While they all offer trade-offs, fortunately they all produce great photos, so don't sweat your choice too much!

[@CrisCozy]

Graham Perks I have the xt10 and the drive dial is super convenient. I love the range finder style as well.

[@RobShootPhotos]

I have an Olympus EM-10. Good travel camera. I was looking to get the 12-40 f2.8 but for $350 more I can get the Fujifilm XT20 w/ 16-55 f2.8-4 lens. This is 6 months after the video and the XT-2 w/16-55 is $500 less EM-1 w/12-40. You made good points to go with XT20 but the idea of weather seal and dual card slots if I would get back into wedding photography. I love the feel of the Olympus but man... It's killing me. Great video.

[@MrKikoboy]

The absolute best point about waiting for the X-T3 ( according to your 3 camera comparison ) is that Hello Kitty will appear in all of your photos....;-)

[@rotvonrat]

I have a thousand live shots of her :) beat it (She has retired now, have family a child and removed all silicone (they say))

[@MrKikoboy]

I heard that now that she is older she goes by "Hello Pussy".....;-)

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

I own both - and they are both superb cameras. At that price though, the X-T2 is close to unbeatable. It's rumoured that the X-T3 will be made in China, not Japan. Whether that affects the brilliant build quality or sheer premium feel or not remains to be seen.

[@ogonzilla]

during the meanwhilst I saw that China rumor. Interesting

[@aqualungs77]

Help in 2021! XT2 - $650, XT20 - $534, XT30 - $659, all used. I do shoot some video, but mostly for lansdcape, street, nature, backyard birds and insect. Plants and flower and other fun artsy stuff. Watched most of your vids on them and my brain hurts.. lol. The weather sealing is the most important factor of the X-T2. Ihave not used manual cameras since 35 mm in 2009. :) So I'm a beginner again.

[@mortenthorpe]

Either the X-T2, or the X-T20 will do for a lot of people - The main differences are of course better ergonomics on the X-T2, and faster (at least with the booster-grip) allround operation and AF. I have both, currently, and the X-T20 is a fine smaller camera, although the slightly larger size of the X-T2 has the better ergonomics for me, as it has more dials/buttons, and the possibility to place these better across the larger body. I will be looking at the X-T3 though, but maybe only IF/WHEN (PLEASE FUJI!!!), Fuji decides to get into BIG glass - 500mm and above.

[@c.g.c2067]

I agree on not having touch screens or too intrusive electronics

[@etyshein]

Hi Omar, thanks for another great and useful video! Just a little note - according to this fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t2/taking_photo/shooting_mode/index.html# the xt2 DOES have an auto mode, it only takes a few more clicks to get there, as appose to one button in the xt20.

[@redheli1]

Thanks for the review. It was very helpful for me. xt-20 for me.

[@Paul9]

I did it Omar! I did it too! I have the X-T20 and couldn't resist the X-T2 with the price drop, my excuse was the weather sealing and vertical flippery flip screen. I just have this urge for the 16-55 2.8 now, make this stop. :-)

[@ogonzilla]

Paul Downey You have Fujiitis my friend. There is no cure. Lol

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

both, for all the pros and cons mentioned. ....lol I am hopefully going to be new to Fuji X system before little league season comes... because of funds, I will likely start with the X-T20... and then later get an X-T3...and then get a really small lens for the X-T20 to make it a small, pocket shooter... just to take along whenever I'm not really going on a photo shooting adventure. ... or to keep a different lens on for wide angle shots, and different situations... to have something less intimidating and less conspicuous for street photography and public events, etc...

[@chrishewson40]

I just ordered the xt20 in silver, after having a nikon d5300, imuch prefer the small size of the xt20, i hate lugging around a big bulky heavy camera plus lenses. The xt20 will probably fit in my pocket which is great.

[@michaelgoodwin593]

Id actually buy an XT3 if it looked like that

[@ogonzilla]

lol...

[@brucekraft744]

I just bit on the X-T2. In fact, it's still in transit. For me, 24MP is kind of a sweet spot as it gives me room to allow for different crops. Also, the large EVF was appealing for my aging eyes. The larger EVF + the joystick were worth the $200 price difference. Touchscreen functionality is not nearly as appealing to me as the joystick for selecting focus point.

[@milosh5050]

Omar from my side BIG UP for this video! ;-) and subscribing now (following your vids for a while)... I’ve been binge watching such comparisons and reviews for like a month already, this one is most honest and yet also probably one of the most practical ones, thumbz up;) and btw, my case will probably be waiting to see what the third one will be like;) when happened to be right just before the release, I’ll wait the 2 months to see. Thanks;)

[@SH0dah]

I think I'll wait for the Fuji XT3

[@johnglue1744]

Of course, I mean the preproduction model looks amazing lol.

[@JeremyGalloway]

X-T20 is honestly better imo, especially if you are traveling. Auto mode for handing off your camera is absolutely incredible. A feature I never knew I needed and now don’t want to live without. I just hope they’ll let us shoot RAWs in full auto!

[@maxmeier532]

I dunno who came up with that nonsense about XT2 not having auto...there is a mystical "A" on the dials and on the lenses.

[@edp6679]

Great video, Omar. 👍 You may recall I was recently trying to decide between the X-T20 and the Canon M50. I went with the M50 which I'm happy with, but at the new price the X-T2 probably would have won out. I still may buy one after the X-T3 comes out. I like having 2 cameras and wouldn't mind having a foot in each camp, like you do. 😁

[@ferossan]

Congratulations! Nice buy. Hope you will keep the x-t20 at least for a while. That could give you (and us) an opportunity to compare the real life usage of both. Wondering if you are thinking to buy a new grip for the x-t2. How it's battery life compare?

[@ogonzilla]

It isn't going anywhere. Still playing with xt2

[@AnaSantos-rm8qt]

absolutely love your videos...you have fun doing this! Great info, always.

[@MuzzFury5]

Coming from the X-T10 this is a great deal! That dual card slot is something that I’ve been wanting for photographing a friends wedding that’s coming up.

[@bjornbraun4475]

I have a X-T2... and I love it. It’s my first camera and I don’t know what is different in a Auto Mode compared with all settings on auto. But I can say... go in the shop and pic them up. For me the X-T20 was to small. I need the more weight, the bigger grip - all in all you use your camera best when you love it. I see so many people with a great camera, but I’m the one always with the cam in my hand. (When im with them taking photos)

[@ogonzilla]

B.J. Brown THE Xt20 Full Auto switch takes care of af and face detection for video. Very quick. Set to video mode. Flick auto switch. Xt2 has a few more choices to switch in. Drive mode to video. Then Af must be in C. A for lens, shutter, ISO. Then it is AUTO. Works fine but easier for quick vacation grabs!!!!

[@bjornbraun4475]

Omar Gonzalez Photography thank you :)

[@-grey]

Nah. I bought the sale X-T2 because the X-T3 can’t offer enough of an upgrade since it’s no longer a flagship camera. 26MP seems like it’ll be worse in low light. And any other extras that aren’t IBIS don’t justify the price difference. I can pocket my X-T2 nicely with the 27mm. And the focus nipple is more tactile than touching screens. For me, there is no real negative to getting the X-T2, and keeping it for a while. It pretty much nails my needs. And probably will for you too. Unless you vlog. Then get a Canon 6Dii or something. If anything I’ll get a low MP sensor for low light. Like an old X-100T or something as a backup.

[@gaatzaat]

You must have massive pockets!

[@joebeta]

I had both of these cameras and eventually upgraded to the X-H1. At $1,100 the X-T2 is a steal.

[@TheMishupo]

Got the x-t20 a year ago and I think there is no reason to upgrade/change. The size&features are great. But.. I used to have an x-pro1 before, and consider buying a used one.. it is such an interesting camera. There is something about that camera

[@roni910]

Yeah i love rangefingeder style more

[@mudgie069]

I've just sold my Sony A7R II to get an X-T2 and X-T20. The IQ on the Sony was incredible but the file size and editing didn't do my PC any favours so I've now moved completely to Fuji for my sins :)

[@bxlgotham6566]

If you love the viewfinder on the XT2 you’ll love it more on the XH1, as it’s a noticeable upgrade over all the XTs. Am keeping my XT20 after having added the XH1 this week. I love the XT2 as well but needed the low light benefiting IBIS feature. There are not really any bad options if you’re in the Fuji system. Agree with you Omar that side by side the XH1 has no hipster vibe haha.

[@bxlgotham6566]

I should clarify. I’m keeping both.

[@marksnellingphotography]

Now all you need is the battery grip and a 50-140 and you can sell all your Canon gear 😁

[@Feemy]

XT20 is awesome! I knew the XT2 would be coming down in price with the probability of the XT3 coming out soon. However, I just preferred the smaller form factor (I don't use a grip).

[@arcadian91007]

you know there is ALWAYS going to be a new generation coming. I, am waiting for a Xpro3 to purchase my first Fuji interchangeable lens body. it'll come up.

[@antwonjackson4550]

I'm just going to get the xt20 because it comes with a lens at the same price for a xt2(body only) and can just get used to the Fuji system, then upgrade to a xt3 maybe when that one goes on sale

Hi Omar, I've had the x-t20 for several years, love it but l'm tempted to also pick up a 2nd hand x-t2. Why? The two things that i realise that bug me about the smaller cameras is that the absence of an iso dial and the focus joystick (must be combined with the d pad!, no to the x-t30). The fuji cameras to me are all about the experience of using the dials, like when i was 20 yo with my old Ricoh film camera. The iso dial and joystick really do allow minimal use of the menus or buttons when shooting as long as your lenses have aperture rings. I realised I was missing these two things when on fast paced holidays in Cuba and Lisbon where i just wanted to immediately see and easily change the ex triangle dials. Also, i don't need newer bodies as long as i can get a t2 in good nick. If you dont do video or want massive photo files then the t2 is fine. Love your channel Omar

[@deanrobertnoble138]

I have the XT20 but am tempted by some Christmas sales which have the XT2 used on sale at 560$ (uk, price is £447) in mint condition. Seems quite a good deal.

[@logtothebase2]

XH 1 is heading toward the old XT2 price, so I would say if your leaning toward the XT2 go for the full fat XH1

[@eugenetv8512]

I love them both, coz I have them both.... Fujifilm number 1! For me!

I just picked up a new X-T20 at my local camera store on clearance for $250

[@KentuckyMan30]

I'm almost a month late to this video, but this was interesting. I loved hearing your thoughts on both of them! It's HARD to pass up the X-T2 when it's going for $1,100! That's such an incredible deal. As far as dual card slots go, I'd much rather have the insurance of having that backup on a paid shoot (especially a wedding). That was my biggest criticism of the X-T1. If the X-T3 is the least bit designed like your mock up, I'm all in.

[@ogonzilla]

KentuckyMan30 Korey. Better late than never! Great deal for those needing an xt2.

[@renekun1982]

Hey Omar! I also love my X-T20 and I also really like your channel and your vids. Good work and please keep it up :D

[@fggatl]

I'm loving the X-T20, which I bought a couple months ago, but like you, if the price were as close as they are now, I'd have gone w/the X-T2. 2 SD slots and the weather sealing would have "sealed" the deal.

[@ogonzilla]

I see what you did there. lol.... no regrets on that xt20 bro...

[@bhuboydeleon3699]

for beginner with fuji, like me, who have a d850, which you recommend xt3 or xt30

[@brianwong1925]

I really like the "drag & touch AF" feature from Canon cameras. Unfortunately, Fuji has not included this feature in their screen yet.

[@SirCharles824]

Its like you read my mind. Im in this exact dilemma. But knowing my budget id probably go for a used xt2. T3 would probably be too high for my budget.

[@ChristopheCousinOSS117]

totally agree about " staying away " from touch screen invasion...;-)

[@triggrhaapi]

I did this myself a while back now. The X-T2 is a great camera.

[@ThaiRoundhouse]

How are you liking the set up of the x-t20 with the 27mm f2.8 pancake lens? I like the x100F with the 35mm f2.0 but I feel like the set up you have might be very similar except I can change the lens if I want. I can't decide!!

[@ElcurionExodus]

Ok heres my 2 cents. I have 1000€ lying around waiting to be used for the new camera. I can get an X-T2 with the deal for 1099€ till end of september. The X-T3 will be annouced around Photokina so end of september. I tested the X-E3 and didnt like the missing of the direction-pad and Touchscreen-only (coming from an X-T1 which i will keep as backup and better workflow with primes). The X-T20 was almost perfect but i cant get used to the really small EVF (again coming from X-T1) and the lack of possibility for a batterygrip. So if i wait for the X-T3 (which will be way over 1000€) and i dont like what i see there is a good chance i wont be able to get an X-T2 in time to get the deal for 1099€ and i have to pay 1399€ again. If there wouldnt be the small timeframe for chosing between X-T3 and X-T2 i would definetly wait. But as it is now im really not sure if waiting is a good decision.

[@DS-cf1zc]

Sadly I am quietly watching to see if they do an XPro 3.. if they do that then I may throw in my current kit for a fuji system. Excellent video.

[@rymndsndrn]

Gonna get the X-T2 when the price drop, my X-T20 will be a backup camera then.

[@MrTShbib]

Rymnd Sndrn the xt 2 price is dropped...

[@ogonzilla]

It did drop. NOT sure if you can get it lower for a while.

[@patakk8145]

what feature X-T2 has that makes it your preferred option?

[@dashadude]

If the XT-2 price will be dropped more after XT-3 will be released? What do you think?

[@robari2410]

New to this channel. Good work man! Down to earth, cut the b.s. and funny. Gracias. I'll subscribe.

[@memoriescapturednl]

thanks Omar for the video! Think i will be going for the xt2.. i own a xt20 right now.. but missing some things like the joystick and the filmsimulation the xt2 has right now.. and of course the dualcardslot !!

[@alvinpatrick]

I was paying too much attention to the Sinn 104 though.

[@ogonzilla]

Alvin Patrick Go Great watch!! Lol

[@andreasschroder7880]

Hey Omar, some thoughts about the X-T2 and the X-T3. I'd say the X-T2s three major issues are AF speed at low light, low battery life and worse high ISO performance. The X-T3 is said to get a stacked sensor with better PDAF and a bigger battery. So I guess the chances are pretty good that they will successfully address the first two issues with the X-T3. The third issue I'm not really sure it is an issue at all. Though the high iso performance of the X-T2 is not as good as full frame cameras as the 6D or the D750 it is still pretty good. If the situation demands it I have no problem going up to 12.800. So I guess it's no issue at all... ? What do you think?

[@cosmogang]

Been really tempted lately to get the xt2.

[@ElcurionExodus]

Im really thinking about picking up a xt-30 but I guess I'm better off with a used x-t2 for weddings thanks to the 2 card slots. What do u think guys? Better sensor worth the (until now never occuring) risk of failing sd card? For context I'm only "2nd shooter" for weddings so I don't take the essential pictures.

[@sebastiantorresserviciosin557]

Hi, I am a Nikon shooter with my D610 and I am considering going mirrorless mainly to reduce size and weight in lenses. I currently have these lenses: Sigma art 35, Nikkor 50 and 85 1.8G, Tokina 17-35 and Nikkor 24-120. Photography is a serious hobby but not my job. I do mainly studio, portrait and real estate photography. I am tempting to switch to the new fuji x-t3. Would I loose quality going to Fuji? I also considered Sony A7iii but lenes are too expensive and Z6 does not attract me by the reviews I have seen.
