Switching to FUJI from NIKON Full Frame for WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | D750 vs XT3

Are you thinking about selling all your full frame gear and switching to the Fujifilm X-T3 for wedding photography? In this video, I talk about my experiences with the X-T3 so far for wedding photography and explain the real reason why I made the switch from my Nikon D750. I also include real world sample images from weddings and engagements snot with the X-T3. And I discuss the main differences between the cameras including: size, weight, the EVF, color science, dynamic range, high ISO performance, continuous autofocus, lowlight autofocus, usability, buttons, controls and more. And I talk about my transition struggles and the workarounds I used to overcome them to fully integrate the Fujifilm X-T3 into my wedding photography workflow. You'll get the honest truth of what you can expect when switching to Fujifilm from full frame for wedding photography.

One of the most thorough evaluation of full frame vs fuji mirrorless I have seen on you tube from someone who actually professional field experience. Well done!

Thanks for the kind words

[@ChimaChindaDev]

I finally made the switch from full frame dslr to Fuji X-H1 and I can confidently say that it’s the best camera decision I’ve ever made. The sharpness, colour and clarity of the images coming out of the Fuji is incredible. I’m never going back.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Awesome!

[@jbivphotography]

GREAT VIDEO!! And I LOVE how you give the FULL picture of using a Fuji for weddings. I can't agree more with everything you say in this video. Good stuff.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks John! Your video on switching to Fuji was the inspiration for me to give my own personal take and experiences and dump it all in a video. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!

[@tylerbrown8015]

One of the most comprehensive camera discussions I've ever seen and certainly the most efficient! Thank you sir; you're very good at all the things you've shown here. I really appreciate just how much 'meat' was in your video, way to edit out the non-essential.

[@karacop78]

I chose aps-c for the reasons you mention, but mostly for the lack of weight. I chose Fuji for being the only aps-c dedicated lenses system, and for the manual body controls. And because Fujifilm seems to listen to its customers, let us all Fuji shooters unite and shout: GIVE US BETTER BATTERIES!!!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Haha yes we need better batteries.

[@OnceInAGoogolplex]

I plan to shoot beauty photos and videos for our makeup studio, and I was even considering the D750 despite its age. Right now I’m still learning on a borrowed Canon t2i. Listening to this made me realize how much I don’t know about cameras, lenses, and the possibilities of taking care of customized settings. I have so much to learn. Thank you again! Can’t wait to go through your X-T3 playlist!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Ben Pennington in a studio setting, I believe much of the playing field between the xt3 and d750 Is leveled for sure. This video was under the lens of wedding photography, which is pretty demanding. Feel free to dm me on IG if you have any other questions

[@The-Tall-Photographer]

The most compelling review I've seen, thank you. I'm a dual D750 shooter and I sometimes use a Fuji X100V together.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Why did you switch to Fujifilm? If you decided not to, what reason(s) kept you from switching? Let's get an honest discussion going down in the comments! Also, who's amped for the Avengers movie?!

Switched last fall, have many of the same lenses as you. Came from a Nikon D800. Looking forward to avengers

[@Reggiebphoto]

@@alienwisconsin Awesome Ian. Are you a wedding shooter as well? How are you liking the switch so far?

[@zach.hanford]

Before I got my Fuji I had only worked with entry level Nikon APS-C. I felt like I had maxed out the capabilities of that camera to the point where I felt like the dynamic range/low light quality/AF capabilities were holding me back. I wanted a new camera and was in the same boat that you were. I was deciding whether to go to the D750 or the X-Pro2, but the OVF/EVF was the selling point for me. I am in the camp where I enjoy the inconspicuous nature of the X-series. I've shot entire weddings where the majority of the guests didn't know that I was the wedding photographer.

[@Reggiebphoto]

@@zach.hanford glad you found something that works for you!

[@MFN]

I did not switch, but I bought the Xt3 as a b Camera for 1080 120fps, I have almost all the L series lenses fast aperture canon lenses for my 6d MK 2 and I was told over and over by salesman that if I wanted 1080 120 that I would have to go to A7III or GH5, noone ever mentioned XT3 or XT2(which now has it after update) and KZbin NEVER recommended any of it even though I watch these kinds of reviews religiously. I am so happy with the Xt3 with Fringer adapter(canon lenses work great on Fuji, Some better then on canon) I barely use my canon anymore....for anything.

[@Photographicelements]

This is an amazingly informative video! I'm glad you shared the pros and cons of every aspect of the camera and showed real world examples from your experience. Because if that, this is one of the best videos on youtube on the XT3! I hv been on the fence about switching to the XT3; this video contains everything I need for my decision, thank you.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Awesome. Glad to hear. Yes much of KZbin praises the camera but offers none of the realities of its shortfalls. In addition I show real world examples just to help other know that I don’t just test/review cameras but I actually use them out in the real world for both professional and personal use.

Good video. I am very surprised that you did nit go to the Nikon Z6. I struggled and had a Nikon D300 but owned a bunch of Nikon glass. I was so blown away by the Sony focus speed and Eye auto focus but when I looked through the Sony EVF I was totally turned off. As soon as I looked through the Nikon EVF I was blown away. Since I had so much Nikon glass I decided to try the Z6 and have no regrets. The angry photographer would agree with you he loves the XT3.

[@Reggiebphoto]

I explain explicitly in the video why I didn’t go with the z6 and a7iii. And I’m gonna just ignore that you compared me to the angry photographer lol - I posted real world photos and observations based on real world use. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@Jbandes]

Firstly, you have created some wonderful pictures that show your talents go way beyond any camera tech! I really enjoy your videos. You are very generous with your knowledge and coming from a Nikon D750 myself, this was a really honest assessment - just what I needed. My reasoning was the cost of the new Nikon Z system and lugging a big heavy camera on holidays. Also, having had (lockdown) time to edit my photos, I realise I like the ones taken on my fuji more. Simple. Thank you. A new subscriber 😊

[@Reggiebphoto]

[@davidpaima2315]

Hey man, thank you for your honest opinions on the XT3, I think you are the second KZbinr that is 100% impartial on this, you have helped me decide for Sony A7iii for now, I believe I need to improve for myself first so I plan to do that with a more forgiving tool when it comes to mistakes or extreme situations on wedding photography

[@Reggiebphoto]

Of course. I love and use the camera but that doesn’t make me blind to some cons that may be dealbreakers for others. It’s only fair that I expose all the cards before others make a decision based on my experiences

Fuji shooter here. This is a really excellent video about the tradeoffs between Sony/Nikon FF and Fuji's system. Very well done. And your wedding photography is gorgeous. I'll be checking out your other vids. One nitpick: It's not the pixel size that gives FF an IQ advantage (though it is true that larger pixels look better at pixel level); it's the larger surface area of the sensor as a whole.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Timothy Linn that’s essentially what I was getting at. But fair point. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this video! I recently switched to Fuji from Canon and LOVE it! Like yourself, one of the main attractions I've found is that I enjoy carrying around the XT3 for family and personal photography, and I find I end up taking more pictures more often, and so when it comes to shooting professional gigs, I'm more in sync with my camera. Anyway, I also found your personal, technical feedback about compensating for certain deficiencies with the Fuji system really helpful. Well done!

MarkowskyArt awesome! Glad you enjoyed it, especially the tips

[@pennyfan13]

Great and honest video and love your photos. I switched from Sony A7Riii to X-T3, mainly for the weight and colour science. I want to keep one camera system for both serious work and casual shooting, and X-T3 allows me to do that. When I take everyday snapshots I use jpg and the great colour science & film simulation helped me skip the post process of raw files. I also totally agree with you, sacrificing the super high resolution, big dynamic range and best AF in mirrorless of my A7Riii, X-T3 made me a better photographer.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup. 100% agree.

Thanks for the honest review Reggie. Overall whatever camera you'll use I am sure you'll create amazing shots with it. I am used to crop sensor I used entry level cameras which is nikon and canon before. I wanted to try a different system specifically mirrorless, The feature works for me and I love the design too although I also don't use the upper dials, thank god for the costumization . At the end of the day we can't really rely 100% on the gear that we used. There's always a balance for everything 😊 And besides you're the only person that can determine what's best for you. (Btw How about the video with fuji xt3? We've all been talking about the photos. Looking forward to learn video as well)

Wow, what an honest video. Since this is for people already shooting full frame, what would you say for someone coming from a cropped DSLR? I’m currently shooting the D500. I love the look of the camera itself, it’s smaller, better ISO capabilities, and I really dig their color profiles in-camera. I love my camera for how fast it is but it’s so heavy, especially when shooting receptions with a flash on it. And it’s also pretty noisy when I get over 1000 ISO.

[@Reggiebphoto]

If you already shoot crop, Fujifilm will be superior

[@radfollower1]

@@Reggiebphoto yeah, I know it would be a lot better. I’m just wondering what the experience will be like using a cropped sensor that’s mirrorless. I feel a little envious in wanting full frame but I also love Fujifilm. Great customer service, like I said really cool color profiles, great look, smaller, etc. Am I just dealing with FOMO at this point or is it really worth it going to FF mirrorless?

Sometimes these explanations for changing systems is filled with so much "tech overload", you forget that they're talking about just taking a picture! You are a photographer! A good one! Just make it work! If you know your stuff, you can't mess this up! I have been using FUJI systems for nearly 5 years, focusing quirks, updates, and all. I love the challenges to my craft, and love the FUJI cameras! I own 4 cameras, not one of them is an X-T3, (will get one eventually), and I get paid. Tech specs are important, but we shouldn't make them TOO important. Incidentally, I switched from NIKON!

[@leiasmethurst2913]

Loved the video! I have been a wedding photographer since 2010, and my reasons for switching to Fuji in 2016 after years with Canon (and owning 2 of every lens) was that it was a tool that worked well for what I wanted to use it for. With my edited work from Canon, and my edited work from Fuji side by side- I honestly couldn't tell the difference and I knew my brides wouldn't be able to tell either. The camera is small, EVF was huge for me, and not chimping was an amazing time-saver. Those reasons alone were everything to me. Things I don't like however- my flash rarely works on my camera for some reason (I'm using mechanical shutter)- so my husband has to take a lot of group shots and table shots during the reception. It does hunt a lot in the dark, and I am not 100% happy with the noise tolerance. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned already seeing noise at 1600. It's frustrating- but not frustrating enough to get me to switch just because I've learned to work around it. The camera has forced me to be more creative. I'll check out your other videos! Thanks!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Glad you're sticking with the system. Yup, clients definitely can't tell at all, haha. And awesome that you've made adjustments to keep going and stay creative despite some technical roadblocks/obstacles that the Fuji sometimes has. Curious, what flash are you using on your cameras?

[@carlantaki3250]

I have the same issue with my XT-2 and Flash, I have the Godox 685 and somehow it doesn't fire sometimes, I find the attaching mechanism really bad compared to Nikon. I never had such an issue with the Nikon D7100 and SB-700

I know photography so i won’t use a camera in auto but as you say in the video fuji seems for people with higher skills... i need something easy to use maybe sony a7iii?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Naizon Travel the Fuji isn’t necessarily something for people with better skills. It’s just easier to shoot in low light with Sony. If you’re going for the casual route, it just depends on budget and size. Both systems have great longevity. But Sony is bigger and more expensive because of full frame glsss, and Fuji is slightly more compact and less expensive because of the apsc crop system

[@myasso2k]

Reggie Ballesteros ok cool.. do you think that the fuji x-t30 is more then enough? I have 1500£ to spent on a nice camera. But if you say that fuji x-t30 is ok i will buy that.. but i don’t mind to spent more to get the fuji x-t3 aswell but everyone says that there is not much difference between the 2 fuji.. is a bit confusing. 🙏🏼

[@ashtonrichardson3667]

I had a t3i for years and sometimes when I’m in lowlight I try to save the highlights by shooting a little underexposed with a high iso for post but I would have a lot of grain when I brighten the raw file. I just know to expose to the right now. It’s still probably gonna be muddy but less grainy.

[@ashtonrichardson3667]

Reggie Ballesteros I could only afford a d700 and it could do 75% of the things I need. I’m going to shoot once I have a bigger budget I’m looking looking at Fuji and Sony

[@Reggiebphoto]

Ashton Richardson yup exposing tk the right is preferable for most crop sensor cameras. The only ones you can underexpose are nikon and sony full frame cameras

[@Reggiebphoto]

Ashton Richardson d700 is awesome. Fuji would actually be a step back from the d700 image quality possibly. Once you invest in full frame glass for d700 you might be better served with a Nikon z6 for a mirrorless Camera

Great content. I have a very similar journey to Fuji as you. Feedback would be to slow down like others have mentioned - feels rushed or fatiguing. Also, I'm not sure if you're recording in long takes, but a lot of the dialogue sounds choppy or or sped up in spots (similar to a podcast app where it shortens pauses and silence) and making it sound robotic and unnatural.

[@natehynson1081]

An honest evaluation with good points for consideration. Fuji reignited my passion for photography back in 2015 when I started shooting with the x-t10. I’ve owned several bodies since then and most recently the x-t3. All have been wonderful in their own right and have helped me create many images that I am proud of. That being said, I’ve pined for a full frame since all the way back in 2012, and seeing a good deal on a new d750 I finally decided to pull the trigger. I still have my Fuji system, but it’s shelved for the time being while I learn the ins and outs of using a full frame dslr. I like both, but much like you, it’s not practical to maintain dual systems. I think the biggest takeaway from your video for me was regarding the EVF and whether having one or not will be the deciding factor. A quick note, since you mentioned the difficulty of charging all those batteries. It is possible to charge them directly while inside the body and the vertical grip without using separate chargers. Also, you’ve probably heard this already and I imagine you’re not looking to make any dramatic changes to your workflow, but you may want to give capture one a try if you want to get the absolute most out of your Fuji RAWs.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup the evf is really a big factor otherwise the d750 will serve you perfectly. And I have no interest in capture one at this point as I don’t find my raw files lacking in that regard. I’m totally satisfied with the final edited images. As far as battery charging goes. Im aware of that but during weddings I don’t want to carry around a powerbank with a cable connected to my camera while shooting.

[@DonnieGQX]

Do an editing workflow video, i love your edit style. Those first few examples with the grey suit! Whew, thats amazing quality. Also the Endgame is coming.

I shoot Nikon and Fuji and rather familiar with your comments and sentiments about the systems, but I’m super impressed with your portfolio, it is very inspiring! If I might be so bold to make one suggestion, it would be to share the lenses that you used in your shots in future as one can learn a lot from you creatively, and especially in terms of composition! Well done!

[@Reggiebphoto]

i've done so in other videos. you can check out the "what's in my camera bag" video. as most of the shots are also in that video. i just didn't have enough time to dedicate transferring all the data to the video. theres no quick way for premier to extra photo metadata and spit it out in a title.

[@elbanaag9355]

one of the best and unbiased reviews. thankyou :) i made a step going to Sony's fullframe. you are right that light is important. however i do videos aswell. and iso usually when using log profiles are 800-6400 iso which is worst on apsc. because there's a need of exposing 2 stops higher. and the biggest deal breaker for me is battery life. sony z batteries are great :) and i use few lenses only. tamron 28-75 2.8, samyang 35 1.4, 16-35 f4 and 85 1.8 :)

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup. Crop isn’t for everyone. Even for me for strictly weddings I would’ve preferred full frame. But I go into the details why I decided on apsc Fuji . Thanks for sharing!

[@danielgmur6486]

Thank you, great honest video. I still have a d750 but i am switching to fuji (xt2 + 3). I am still holding on to the d750 as a back up and for extreme low light situations like live concert photography. I really only see the difference in quality is that noise of the fuji's at 6400 is about the same as nikon at 12800. My main concern are the 24-70 and 70-200 f2.8 FF glass there is just nothing to compare from a light gathering perspective. However i start working with the primes only anyways. My suggestion for you is to try Capture One. I found it to be way more responsive and faster. Many people also tell that C1 handles fuji files better (can't comment on that, never used lightroom for fuji files). For me, a faster work flow was worth the switch. I would do it again any day.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Lightroom is fine for me as you can see from the example photos. The 24-70 equiv on Fuji is the 16-55 2.8. And the 70-200 equiv is the 50-140 2.8. With that said I don’t use zooms.

[@philipsutton2316]

Hey Reggie - marvellous video. You have explained this just so well. I have watched so many videos regarding the pros and cons of moving over to mirrorless - or Fuji more specifically, and this one touched on all the points in a non emotional and factual manner. I have the the X-T1, 2 X-T2's and the X-H1. The focus on them are still not up there with my old Nikon D3X (sold that 3 years ago to move over to Fuji), but knowing that no camera is perfect, my Fujis do most things well enough that I can happily live with them. I wish you all the best in your future photography and I look forward to more movies. Philip

EVF is pretty nice. I find it a bit of pain going back to my DSLR after shooting with my EVF camera.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup this was one big issue after shooting with fuji everyday and using dslr for wedding days

[@irvinmartin9259]

This has been a very helpful video. I currently have a Nikon D-750 for my “big camera”, and an Olympus OMD-EM1-II for my “small” one. The Nikon is wonderful. But most of my photography is on the road, and I travel by motorcycle. It isn’t just the size. It’s also the fragility of the SLR mirror mechanism. I’ve had the experience of the mirror seeming to be stuck, or slow after a few hours of traveling. The Olympus is mirrorless, so that isn’t an issue, and of course it’s easier to store. The other thing that’s big for me is the Live View, for the reasons you described. The problem is, I’ve never been happy with the Oly’s colour balance. Reds in particular are lurid. I’m not really interested in fiddling around with post’. So I want decent J-pegs. All this to say I’ve become really curious about the Fuji. And this vid’ has answered allot of my questions.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Irvin Martin awesome. Glad it helped. If you have any other any question let me know.

[@TheGreatAmphibian]

Your work is excellent and this is a very balanced video. Have you thought of using the X100 for weddings at all? There must be situations where the leaf shutter would be a big help. I completely agree on the retro controls btw - I prefer command dials combined with an aperture ring.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Perhaps for the next iteration of the x100 id consider it. But yes, I definitely agree that the lead shutter would be cool for shutting down natural light. With that said I don’t do that much off camera lighting for portraits. Mostly only for reception lighting.

[@arielrglaze]

Yep. Pretty much the same progression I made. In order, D7000 > D610 > D750. Then two systems both Nikon and Fuji. Then I bought a Z7 thinking now it’s on, but I just missed my X-T2 controls. X-T3 came out and I sold everything and now I’m with my X-T3 and an X100F.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Sweet! Thanks for sharing

Hi bro with the things you shared, I should ask, are you really happy with the switch? Coz you sounded like you are on the missing end in switching to Fuji than retaining your Nikon. Just my thought. hahaha I don't get it.

Thanks for sharing your experience and insight, I really appreciate it! I'm not a pro shooter, but am mulling switching from NIkon APS-C DSLR to X-T30 for my own photography. I noticed some focus hunting during your video. Is that an issue when talking into the camera or from motion that was cut out (I noticed a lot of jump cuts)? Thanks.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Hotaru's Lens possibly a combo of both. The camera was set to af facetrzcking but at aperture 1.4. So when I move my face the lens is obviously to adjust a bit

[@paoloa6703]

I always picked up my Fuji before the Nikon so I made the full switch. It’s the weight, evf, 4K, 11fps and film simulation for me.

[@mougabo]

Hi Reggie , one question, do you tend to use silent shutter with the x-t3? have you noticed any negatives using it?

[@Reggiebphoto]

No i do not. I use mechanical shutter almost exclusively. With electronic shutter you run the risk of banding. The only time I use electronic shutter is for filming timelapses.

[@Fabio-rg9nv]

It‘s really sad that people still have to suffer from sharpening issues with Fuji RAW files in Lightroom and I literally don‘t know why Adobe can‘t figure it out while other RAW engines, like Capture One, do it perfectly fine without any issues and artifacts. I’m a software engineer myself and there’s no excuse for Adobe to not get it right. People sometimes blame the Fujifilm sensor for worm artifacts but that just isn‘t an issue at all when I normally sharpen in Capture One. I literally just move the sharpening slider to the right and it does what it‘s supposed to do while Lightroom does some weird shit. And that the sensor isn’t the problem is made clear when you do some JPEG shooting with customized sharpening settings in camera, it perfectly sharpens the images and the JPEGs look amazing. I know that the camera processor is used for that, which is different from any computer processor and software, but what Lightroom does is just horrible. It‘s so annoying because not everyone can just switch to another editing software, some people rely on Lightroom for their workflow, so Adobe should finally get their shit together. It‘s the same with performance issues in Premier Pro and Lightroom, it‘s kind of embarrassing for such a huge company with focus on creative software.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Fabio Mota they have a larger market share and they can choose to abuse that power or serve the people. The Fujifilm user base is definitely the minority so while it isn’t ideal, I can understand why they haven’t made very much effort since most of the other user base is taken care of. Like you said I can’t just switch softwares, as my workflow depends on lightroom (for more than just sharpening or raw processing) so I stick with it for my business.

[@jamesjackson4264]

I had fuji and loved it. Went back to Nikon and then missed mirrorless and went to Sony. All because of Lightroom.

[@RealEstateByAlly]

I just discovered that capture one exists, I’m going to try it. I saw that they have multiple package options, do you recommend the Fuji one of any other one ? Thanks

[@Reggiebphoto]

Allison Flores i don’t personally use capture one so I really can’t make a recommendation on which one to get.

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

It was never a problem for me as when I was using the D810 we were always told never to sharpen in Lightroom and even for Nikon nef files all sharpen and noise reduction was set to zero on default import so when I moved to Fuji I didn't really get the problem. Lightroom was never great at any time for sharpen and output sharpening for print was done elsewhere usually in Photoshop. The more Lightroom expanded over the years more features appeared but sharpen was always not good. Ive been using Lightroom since day 1 at work and also use C1 which I'm still not sure about. Great for tethering but editing is a bit clunky (if that's a word) :-)

[@eliaspap8708]

Great and honest review. I went from Canon to Fuji and and now ended up using both, found Fuji better with the longer lenses 50-140mm and the primes 90mm and 50mm lenses are Awesome and super sharp, but I prefer Canons 35mm prime and in generally the 24-70mm zoom on full frame can give you much better subject separation when you need it, Thats the beauty about fuji cameras, you can setup to use the dials as much or as little as you like, I personally like the top iso dial, but I dont use the shutter or exposure comp top dials, i prefer to setup the front command dial for shutter and rear command dial for exposure comp, and use the lens ring for aperture, How do you find the reliability any issues with XT3 doing weddings? I had a couple of hairy moments but nothing that impeded me in getting the shots, BTW for me I found The best dynamic range is at 640 iso or higher, just make sure your dynamic range setting is set to 400% im getting a bit better dynamic range on the XT3 compared to my Canon 1Dx, However the IDX sensor is now getting a bit old I think i have had it for 7 years now. Now I am in two minds whether i upgrade to canon mirrorless? or just deal with using Fuji wider lenses and get a second XT3 or XH2 down the track.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Reliability hasn’t been an issue for me at this point. And for me I don’t use dr400 as I shoot in raw only

[@eliaspap8708]

Reggie Ballesteros, thanks for the reply, makes no difference if your shooting raw or Jpg, If you want maximum dynamic range? Then your iso setting must be iso 640 or higher.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Elias Pap I’m usually maxing out my shutter speed for these instances so base iso works for me. Thanks for the tip tho

[@demasistudios]

Elias Pap is this due to the “isoless” step? where Fujifilm puts the gains at a particular ISO ?

[@eliaspap8708]

DeMasi Studios exactly right!

[@RobinGlaze]

Thanks for the honest portrayal. I'm also running 2 systems at the moment for exactly the reasons you state. I do quite a bit of wildlife photography (as well as the occasional wedding) so the long fast Nikon glass is a factor for me. I used both my D850 and my XT-2 at a concert recently, and got good results with both, but had to work a little harder with the Fuji files, and felt a little vulnerable to making mistakes using both systems at the same time. Capture one is much better for Fuji files, less effort is involved than getting good results with Lightroom (though Lightroom is hard to give up because of the ease of round-tripping to photoshop, hdr and pano work). Yes, 2 systems has its issues.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Less effort is a relative term. I find it less effort to maintain the workflow that keeps my business running efficiently and clients happy. All the sharpening issues are fixed with one preset after I found the settings that works for me. I spend at most a minute or two per photo editing in Lightroom. No effort at all as I’m working with the “system” I’ve developed to deliver my look. It would be more effort to relearn what every slider does in capture one vs me just instinctually knowing what each photo needs in Lightroom.

[@RobinGlaze]

@@Reggiebphoto Agreed. I tend to use C1P only for my personal projects and the bulk goes through Lightroom. I use import presets and have set up some Photoshop droplets which are accessed as Lightroom Export presets which helps me to automate several routine tasks. Recently I've stopped using Lightroom to capture sharpen any of my pictures though. I loved your images by the way!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Robin Glaze if I find the desire to experiment I’ll try it out. But I love lightroom as a tool, and I personally enjoy using it. Just as people Will adopt a “lesser” performing camera for its more initiative controls or just how it feels. I use lightroom cause I like the experience. Sure c1 might get better results. But I already love the results I get so not much left To be desired haha. And thanks for the kind words!

XT3 design is so elegant.

Great video, I don’t know if you have tried this but try using capture one instead of lightroom, the programming of capture one is optimized for the xtrans sensor and TRUST ME ON THIS ONE but the difference is amazing on all the problems you mentioned, dinamic range is improved by 100% at least no worms on sharpening and also it seams to process color different... I believe lightroom it’s now a better software but just not for fuji as seriously it takes the fuji files to an other level... you could also go back to shoot over exposed ;) Cheers mate, again great vid 🤙🏽

Hi, your videos are the best about Fuji, and for who wants to change system. I sold my D610 (too bad af, too much work in post to get a simple look I like), and now looking for x-h1 kit which costs around 1100€ and x-t3 body only with separate metal grip which can be around 1400€ (I need for sure extra grip with it, i don't like the grip on x-t3, it doesn't cover perfectly the camera edges, bad to look at). On the x-h1 bundle I have 2 more batteries, better grip, ibis, and also can buy a 18-55 as starter zoom. But the af on x-t3 seems to be so better to let me forgive the old d610, more futureproof camera considering it when the firmware x-h1 can't do better on AF side. But x-t3 is smaller, have to buy metal handgrip and batteries, and no ibis. Hard decision for me. The only point about x-t3 is the new af, otherwise is perfect the x-h1 but not futureproof like the x-t3. What do you think? :)

[@nerdMike]

the fact is.. I like fullframe, but I'm an amateur, around 1000€ for the body if fine for me and I like mirrorless more (no af fine tuning, ne image review after shoot, evf, etc..). But you can find only a7, a7m2 and eos rp as mirrorless fullframe camera into this budget area even on used market. I can't and won't spend 2000€ for a FF body only.

[@Reggiebphoto]

It ultimately depends on why you think you need ibis. Most people think they need it because they’ve read about it. For serious video you want real stabilizers, and for photo, if you take photos of people kids or anything moving, ibis doesn’t help as it won’t prevent motion blur of the subject. My vote would be xt3 but definitely try both of you can before making your decisions.

[@nerdMike]

@@Reggiebphoto ibis for adapted or non stabilized lens like 16-55 2.8. Ibis on my lumix help with short handeld clip, not pro work. In fact I spend less with xh1 for a more comfortable and better materials body also. I save around 300€ and I have grip and spare batteries also with it. I'm worried u said the af is not like D750 expecially on afc, I thought xt3 was near sony A7 iii and a edge over old dslr 😕 the af was the only point to choose xt3 over xh1 but seems to be not so "great" in reality

Maybe in a couple of years when I am ready for my next camera. Thanks again for all the info.
