I Got Another Old Fujifilm Camera Episode 1 / Fujifilm X-M1 In 2022

[@bobtaylor8746]

Just found your channel, subscribed, and really enjoy your work. Great job and I like your descriptions and explanations. I love Fujifilm and have used them since original x 100 came out. I currently have x100f, xt3 and xpro2 and a bunch of lens. Keep up the good work!!

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Awesome, thank you! That is a nice lineup!

[@mohdkhairishaari3601]

i have X-M1... almost 5 years.. love, always use flip screen as waist level finder

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Cool!

[@HogbergPhotography]

Haha! Its so weird that people these days think that 16mp is about enough for online and social media! Ive seen 5mp jpegs (old canon compact) printed up to 1 meter in lenght and at a correct viewving distance it looks SHARP. DO NOT GET HUNG UP ON MEGAPIXELS! When printing large, its all about leaving that to proffessional printing firms. You do not need more than 10mp if you have a real camera with an aps-c sized sensor which even leaves room for cropping quite a bit. 16mp is alot MORE than 98% of the population needs. Now, if you shoot with a cheap smartphone, then more megapixels can help, but thats a totally different story.

Give this man a 👍 so true!

[@MyTravelChannel-RO]

Beautiful! What I understood from your new video is that it's not good to have money (to spend) when you get sick with covid. You can end up buying more equipment 😂 I'm glad you got over the disease and I wish you good health!

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you, you too!

[@awake780]

Love your content, Andrei. Beautiful work as always. All the best from 🇨🇦 .

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Awesome, thank you!

[@utube321piotr]

agree, I have aone also, M1 is outstanding in color rendition and handling with flippy screen; I use it w/ old manual lenses; seems like old Olympus glass is especially suitable

[@Wookie_pookie]

Hello what lenses do you use

[@sclogse1]

My first Fuji. Came with the 16-50mm 3.5 lens, and a CD with old raw conversion software that is not obvious to use. (just make a tiff and do nothing else, please) the macro setting works on the XC lenses and isn't necessary on other Fuji lenses. My copy was a minty used one, and the settings were slightly cranked up, so I was very surprised at the jazzy jpegs. VERY. Naturally I found my 16-50 lens focussing way faster on my T-2 body. It's center sharpness is just excellent. Always use a wrist strap. I just use the old skinny ones made for the pocket point and shoots. Always. If you park the body for a while and use a T series body for a few months, going back to the X-M1 will take a little bit to get back in gear. Focus peaking is a lot harder to see on these. Love the tilt screen and the Jpegs. Have fun and buy a Russian 4 lens turret viewer for it. They actually work, and give it a classic retro look. Just match your lens to one of it's 4 focal lengths. (As much as you can) I've had major back problems lately and have also been shooting around my San Francisco flat. You quickly get to know the right time of day to shoot different subjects in your home. Switch to some very warm keldron to experiment with, or just select cloudy for indoors with some sun hitting objects. Two weeks ago a minty X-H1 showed up. More learning fun. Jeeze, the correct Fuji batteries are 60 bucks each, and with the grip, you need three. Next month..... thanks for your charming video. If you're tired a lot, check your blood pressure. Andre. ( I make films when I can)

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you for sharing! After episode 3 I am going to save my money until the X-H2 comes out. I was tired from COVID, my blood pressure is good, thank you.

[@keyfretter]

"the small voice..." Hilarious! 😂 Loved the video and the images!

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you!

[@albertsmith9315]

I did a similar thing. Already having modern cameras, I kept reading and seeing on KZbin how the early sensor cameras can give a rendering that can look great, even when compared to the latest models. I got a X-E2s still new-in-the-box in 2020 and after some trial and error have fully tweaked out the film simulations for my way of seeing. Today with two X-T3 bodies and an X-Pro2, I find that when I leave the house with nothing specific in mind, the X-E2s is my camera of choice. With the original trio of Fujifilm lenses, the 18mm f/2, 35mm f/1.4 and 60mm f/2.4 this older sensor give the most film-like rendering of any of my digital cameras.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I recently got an X-Pro 2 and an X-E2 and love how they render color. My X-T4 gives me all the bells and whistles but I enjoy using the X-Pro 2 more since I got it, especially with the 35mm f1.4.

[@dedclownsRfunny]

I think our small voices are conspiring together

[@JohnsRetirementTravelVlog]

Nice camera. Looks like in a good quality. It’s useful for filming. Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@sclogse1]

No, it's not a great video camera.

[@williamgoss4691]

Hey, really like your inner voice; ‘go for older cheaper Fuji cameras’ (my son). Great vid, gorgeous images !! (Hv Sub’d)

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Awesome, thank you!

[@christianlloydbalmis7667]

Hello, sir. It's 2023 and I'm planning to buy the m1 for daily use, street photography, and fod photography. What lense/s can you recommend to compliment my style? Thank you

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

The Fujifilm 23mm f2 WR, 35mm f2 WR and 50mm f2 WR.

[@inquireintothehigher]

Thanks for the great video. I have one of these, and was wondering if you know a way to get it to back button focus? Cheers

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you for watching! I don't have this camera anymore and I don't remember if you could, sorry.

[@root9065]

Relieved to hear I'm not the only one negotiating with the small voice in my head 😅 hope you both get well soon :) also 2:30 😂😂😂

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you! Negotiations where really hard😀

[@thelikpic]

i like this series, please make more!

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you! I will!

[@shred3005]

A couple of weeks ago I found a cheap (AU$250/US$175) Fuji X-E1 that couldn’t pass up and I love it! I don’t NEED it (my street and discrete camera is an X-E4 and landscape roughing it in the wild camera is a rugged Pentax K-1 full frame) but I’m really enjoying it. I wanted to try the X-Trans 1 sensor but I’ve found the controls on this first generation X-E a joy to use after the austere X-E4. Sure is slower focus, less responsive (and oddly is a bit bigger than my X-E4) but it’s just fun and the images are great.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

It is a really nice camera. Yes, it is slow but some times we need to slow down for a better perspective.

[@treharris1677]

The inner monologue - hilarious!

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you!

[@nicknick12345]

Loved it. Please make more videos like this.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I will, at the moment I am working on a video about a lens but the next one is going to be episode 4 from this series.

[@androssimplelife]

great video, with some light humor👌🏻 hey why do you cover the model of your camera with black tape?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you. To avoid unnecessary attention.

[@LetsMakeGhosts]

I have the same camera. It really is beautiful.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Cool! Yes it is!

[@TRAVELOWL]

This camera looks like a good choice.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

It is a great budget choice!

[@AanGozall]

I thought I was the only one who negotiate with that small voice, especially during covid positive self isolation 😂

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I think most photographers have that little voice.😅📷

[@AanGozall]

@@AndreiDimaReviews sure we are 😂😂

[@tedpearlman]

Hi Andrei. Was curious how you filmed this particular video. Did you use FilmConvert?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Hello, I used Dehancer, I made a video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anLGeqCNaK6Cq6s

[@rizalpambudi]

Man , How tempting are these Fujifilms. My target is either X-M1 or XQ2, for a budget pocketable option

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Yes they are!

[@esppics21]

your video made me laugh because I hear that same voice in my head. That voice in my head always got me buying gear. hahaha

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it!🙂

[@DrDryce]

Would be great a comparison between XTrans1 and XTrans2 sensors cameras

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I am planning to make a comparison video between X-Trans 1, 2, 3 and 4 next month, color and ISO performance.

[@JoseAntonioRomeroH]

Wallapop? haha, that's good purchase!

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you! Yes, Wallapop!🙂

[@JoseAntonioRomeroH]

@@AndreiDimaReviews great. keep with those videos!

[@johnnyhandyman]

FUNNY AND EDUCATIONAL.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you!

[@top-voice1674]

Hi, could you please tell me if this camera provides clean hdmi ??? Thanks

[@henrymaddocks984]

I have been looking at an X-M1 or an X-E3. Maybe I get the M.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

The X-E3 is newer has more film simulations, higher resolution and faster autofocus, if you find it at a good price go with that if not the X-M1 is great budget option.

[@elix9099]

What lens do I buy for this I found a very cheap body! Sorry I’m very new

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

No need to be sorry, we've all been there. If you want a small and compact setup get the 27mm f2.8, if you want a slightly bigger setup get the 18-55mm f2.8- f4.

[@andreipop7992]

Hi Andrei, thanks for the Video, I own an XT4 and looking for a decent camera (with manual controls) for my son. This seems to be a great entry(budget) camera, how would this compete with a Canon 550 D as is also a cheap alternative? All the best!

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you for watching! I don't think there is a big difference between them, I would go with the X-M1 because it is smaller, a better option would be an X-E2 because you have more controls and the price difference is not big.

[@andreipop7992]

@@AndreiDimaReviews Thank you!

[@eYACTION]

it looks small and so efficient

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Yes it is!🙂

[@regicruz93]

I picked this up after watching your review! And currently loving it with the 18mm f2. By any chance what film simulation/s (or recipes) did you use on the colored photos on this video ( 3:12 )?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Cool! It was Velvia with a custom white balance shift but I don't remember the exact settings. I think it was auto white balance and white balance shift: red 1, blue 1 or red 1 and blue -1. Try both.

[@regicruz93]

​@@AndreiDimaReviews Thank you!

I still use this xm1

its great camera, i have one, but my camera have to fix cause shutter stuck pass month :(

[@mandanaamelimojarad144]

Hi is this good for video too ?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

No

[@v4led]

The shutter doesnt work how can I fix it

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Hello, only at a repair shop.

[@BryanMiraflor]

these are selliing right now for USD $250 to $400 + tax

[@NoseyOk]

Can anyone tell me if i should get this, or the x-t10 for 15$ more than an x-m1

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Get the X-T10, it is a bit better when it comes to autofocus and low light.

[@roelofheida206]

You said: 16 mp is more than enough for social media sharing and even for medium size prints. That’s the kind of nonsense that makes me watch no further. As if in the 16mp era and earlier nobody was capable to make pictures that could be enlarged to large formats. It’s not: the more mp the better the picture. Regards Roelof Heida

[@Amma0]

I got a fujifilm x-a20, do you know how to set the camera in order to make that film looking photos that are now all over the internet. I do not have that setting to add “a new recipe” :(. Thanks

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

A recipe is a mix of settings. Check this article here: fujixweekly.com/fujifilm-bayer-recipes/

how is the video on this thing?
