Time to say goodbye to my X70 today, watched all 3 videos about it again as appreciation to this wonderful camera.

[@spacecats7832]

YES someone who can make noise look good is a fantastic photographer to me👌 Everyone thinks I'm crazy every time I intentionally allow noise to be in my b&w photos

[@gregorybissell4255]

I honestly don't mind the noise from Fuji sensors, but when I shot Sony the noise seemed way more.... abrasive

[@brian-beeler]

@@gregorybissell4255 It's the X-Trans sensor as the color array is meant to mimic silver halide and isn't the Bayer array everyone else but Phase One uses. To me ISO 1600 feels like Kodak Plus-X and Kodachrome and ISO 3200 Tri-x and Ilford HP5.

[@JohnBarrow1961]

I agree with your assessment, Mattias, the noise lends itself well to those types of shots, dare I say it adds a film-like quality to them. One thing I miss in my current camera lineup is a compact with a flip screen. It's tricky to get good candid street shots with the DSLR's a prefer to shoot, even the much smaller manual focus film bodies I prefer. Something about bringing the camera to your eye is dead giveaway for a lot of people. You took some real nice shots.

[@llFlashBackll]

i feel like this camera has so much sense one day people will be hyped about it like with contax g2 today

Great video. I like your reviews. Personal, relevant, substantiated, and you back them up with great shots of your own. Subjective at its best, objective at its best. Keep it up! :)

[@johnfretz1938]

You've a great eye. Absolutely love your shots. Always enjoy your reviews. Thanks mate.

[@SteveShootsFilm]

Great reviews one of my favorites awesome photos as usual

[@diragusa]

iso 3200 looks amazing. I love the grit! Great video yet again!

Thank you my friend :)

I love the grit look also! Makes the pics look incredible!

[@月白-h6c]

That's a kind of art. Thanks for your review.

[@Pixelbip]

I already have the x100T and X-T2 so I doubt Ill buy this camera too. I travel full time, and one more camera is just too much. That being said, I really like the results you are getting with this camera. Keep up the great work!

[@IshwaraYogaNET]

Beautiful images. I am swooping my XT1 and 16mm f2.8 for an X70. For mountain adventures

[@IvanZupancic]

love it :) might be a interesting experiment to have a second shooter in a wedding scenario use this.. could get really intimate shots

[@videojesse]

Love the series of videos about the Fuji gear. Hoping you can answer a question: On these Fuji cameras, can you shoot RAW+JPEG and still use film simulations? My intent would be to always capture a JPEG with a desired film simulation while also capturing a RAW (with no simulation) that I could process in Lr later.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Yes you can. You can also process a new jpeg in camera from the raw and change film simulation as well as add them in Lightroom. Lots of possibilities.

[@videojesse]

Thanks for the quick response! That's great to hear. I know some cameras prevent you from using "effects" of that sort when shooting RAW+JPEG. Quick follow up: If I process a RAW file in camera as you mentioned, it saves a new JPEG. Does it also keep the original RAW for even further processing if desired?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Yes.

[@liamyoo2]

love your photos, man!

[@RayVillaraza]

Hello! @ 2:15, are you talking about "zone" focusing? I thought zone focusing was a larger focus area ( 9 x 9 square vs 1 x 1 square focus point ). I didn't realize that zone was also in DOF? i.e. 2 - 3 meters in depth according to the video.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

yes, but its more than that in reality. At f8 set to 3m a 18mm lens gives a depth of field of 1m to infinity. At f2.8 its about 2-6m. This is what zone focusing means and has been called so long before autofocus points where invented :)

[@RayVillaraza]

Mattias Burling THANK YOU! So Zone Focusing in photography terms, not in Fuji Feature terms cuz the camera did come with "Zone" focusing but that's more the auto-focus points on the screen. WOW. SO COOL. Thanks so much Mattias!

[@Hangiinjohnny]

I’ve been drooling over this camera for a couple months. It’s $1000 in my area that’s almost 2 xf10s

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Wow, Om trying to sell one and can't even get $300 for it.. plus there are plenty on eBay for way less than $1000.

[@enriqueabu-gosch1731]

Great video Mattias!!

[@hbomberguy]

This or the LX100?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Depends on what you are using it for and how you like to shoot.I obviously choose this. Both are good.

[@hbomberguy]

thanks for the quick response!

[@parmindersbedi]

beautiful pictures and great review :-)

[@peskypossum58]

Mattias - great video! Following on Insta and love your dog.

[@MrNecropodo]

protect the higlights means that you lower the iso or the exposure? sorry for the question, i learn from your videos

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Lowering the iso lowers the exposure as well.

[@jesuisravi]

I appreciate that the music with your videos is NOT heavy metal. So many good videos these days are ruined by the raucous and raunchy music chosen to support them.

[@dhannylil2191]

fantastic colors! How you create such a dramatic, contrast shot? and also which you'd reckon Lumix LX100 or fuji X70? Cheers.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

I play alot with the contrast in Lightroom. I liked my lx100 alot for video. For stills it was ok but not as nice as the x70.

[@Djk0t]

Mattias which program do you use for the x70 and x-e3?

[@SoCalledFreeman]

Amazing Photo's Mattias, For a travel camera (Have a FF DSLR+2.8 lenses @ home) would you choose a X100T or for a lot less money the X70? Cheers!

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Im making a video on that very question that will be uploaded tonight :)

[@DamianBrown]

Brilliant shots!

[@DamianBrown]

And good to see somebody not afraid of "noise"

[@maxboissiere4806]

I like your video the camera's ISO looks awesome and gritty!... But sadly I have a Different topic question to ask you. Would you recommend buying the Minolta 50mm f/1.7 with the FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter to adapt it to my Nikon D5200

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Probably better to buy an old Nikon 50mm lens. Adapting to Nikon is difficult.

[@maxboissiere4806]

Thanks for the input!

[@WhatTheFragrance]

love the film look

[@7775Kevin]

Excellent review and I enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@archiepope7378]

Whats your thoughts on the oldie Fujifilm X10

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Its cool. But I prefer the x20.

[@archiepope7378]

@@gearreallydoesntmatter But whats the difference appart from the viewfinder?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

It's a little faster.

[@nocommentnoname1111]

What about using the LCD in bright light??

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Its a good screen so no big issues.

[@nocommentnoname1111]

thank you. i ask because i have had problems with other cams with good screens as well (including mobile phones). the bright light just obliterates the image.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

That's always a risk.

[@BlueSquid1001]

Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to turn off the display on the x70?

[@vieto6920]

Hej! Vilken hundras är det din hun är? Är det en French bulldog eller en Boston terrier?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

French Bulldog.

[@Nulrom]

Hi Mattias, do you feel the absence of the viewfinder?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Sometimes, but using it at waist level is worth it. Its such a wide field of view anyway that its less needed.

[@Nulrom]

Mattias Burling ty man. Great pics btw. The b&w one of the bicycles was awesome.

[@비행도시]

Can i ask what case did you use?? I really want to buy same one!

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

It's the Fuji original.

[@비행도시]

Mattias Burling thanks!

[@jacovanlith5082]

This X70 would be superior with a view finder and a NP-W126 accu. This super camera needs no built in flash. Buy a seperate flash.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Jaco van Lith Nooo, flash must stay. No need for viewfinder. All it needs is snap. If it gets that or the GR gets a tilt screen. Then the ultimate street camera is born.

[@user-pp7we6mb5o]

Does the x70 have sensor cleaning ?

[@lylestavast7652]

without a removable lens, what is the need you see for having that ability ?

[@spunnderman2898]

Lovely camera

[@lifelist1m370]

stacks betwwen xt10 and x 70. whuch one to buy

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Ive had both. The x70 is always with me. The x-t10 needed a bag.

[@Andromeister27]

The Fuji X70 or Canon PowerShot G7x ?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Depends, do you need the zoom and can you live with a smaller sensor. They are very different.

[@Hummerbydesign]

DruMeister want to out my two cents in. I own both and find that the G7 is terrific for videos due to zoom ability while filming, and being able to use the touch screen to focus which I discovered accidentally is useful to do pull focusing which looks great at the wide aperture! However the picture quality at JPEG mode anyways and the film simulation modes of the X70 both are visually discernible, particularity at modest ISO and up ( umm like ISO 800 and up ) I do have to say the canon is more pocketable and versatile but in terms of sheer enjoyment of camera/person interaction and thoughtful stills shooting, the Fuji is definitely the one. The Canon has a remarkable video capability which I do use frequently and it's video quality is excellent even at 720p. Although it does doe higher definition but the file sizes get out of hand for me at 1080p. So like all photography quandaries the answer is always 'it depends!' In this case it's video and all round versatility versus better picture quality, ISO performance and fun film simulation modes with nice old school dslr controls.

[@ulftilly]

så fina bilder!

[@Hayk_empty_cloud]

X70 or iPhone 7 ?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

No phone can even touch a real camera.

[@Hayk_empty_cloud]

@@gearreallydoesntmatter ok, about photos sure, plus in low light, but count that iPhone 7 record 4k with OIS and it has IP67. But I want primary photo... So..

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

@@Hayk_empty_cloud it records crap 4K and using it is absolute pain.

[@Hayk_empty_cloud]

@@gearreallydoesntmatter I have canon 5D Mark II and I am thinking about to carry with me all day some pocket camera. This x70 I found about 355$. Is it good deal?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Sounds like an ok price imo.

[@ronmalvert2387]

Nice dog you have.

[@detouredbriefly9426]

your a star

[@jacovanlith5082]

This Fujifilm X70 could be the present from Heaven with a few modifications. This camera is so good at 6400 ISO, that a built in flash is hardly ever needed. A built in flash consumes the power of the camera; that is a minor negative factor. Any flash in the (multi contacts) hotshoe would be better and more powerful; the best would be an extra PC-synchro. With a spiral cable the speedflash could be triggered off the camera. Many streetphotographers do. There is always the need for a viewfinder, although the screen of the X70 is very bright. All cameras need; even a Linhof Technika 13 x 18. A camera without a viewfinder is like a bicycle wtihout handlebars. It is possible to ride a bike without, but even Alex Rasmussen needs handlebars during the Tour the France. The pans in the kitchen have two handles. The Fujifilm X70 is the camera for all seasons. Architecture-, news-, candid-, street-, wedding-, photography. The X70 is the must for the 21 century and the best camera for photographers who once had a Leica Cl or a Leica M4. (And that is my pro experience since 1965).

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Jaco van Lith The flash is one of the best features. It must stay.

[@jacovanlith5082]

Flash ??? Mister Mattias you do not show/make flash photoos ! So what is the super profit of it ?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Jaco van Lith I take alot of flash images. This is a pocket camera with a leaf shutter... flash is a must.

[@jacovanlith5082]

The shown images are no flash photographs. Please show in your next video the examples of flash photogrhy with the X 70. Leaf-, focal plane-, rotary shutter or even shutterless, on every camera a flash unit can be used. I do not understand, you indicate the fact of the leaf shutter of your favourite camera.. The FujifilmX 70 is no compact camera; it is a camera with small demension, but with the normal APS-C sensor. For wedding photography the X70 is the perfect tool. Easy to use, even nice to hand over to guests of the wedding, while I have a coffee break.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

It is a compact camera. A flash + leaf shutter = magic and super fast sync speed. I have already made 3 videos about the X70 and there is flash photography in them.

[@ditto1958]

They only made these for a short time, and now they’re hard to find 🙁

Be aware that X70 discounters….
