[@howtorepairpendulumclocks]

Today I bought an XT4. My first 'proper' camera since film. Much of that decision was based on the amazing level of support an enthusiasm you offer through this channel

[@afsalhamed4300]

How is the camera?

[@danielbehin4247]

I switched over about 5 years ago. You will love it! Photos are great, but it's also just more fun and easy to use.

[@mjmoen8917]

Yup. Me too

[@AcraniusCH]

Have fun, it‘s a joy to use!

[@millzwave5001]

I also use xt4

[@chrislycarvalho4723]

Puts the camera inside the microwave Me : sweating really very badly

[@fuji-fb4743]

I know; I felt so sorry for the microwave oven .

[@torinsall]

We said "That is not a nice thing to do to a camera", then you pulled out your hot drink and almost choked on it. Great gotcha!! 🤣😂🤣 You also nailed it on why Fuji cameras are so much FUN to use...and the great support they give...what a combo!

For us old guys who learned photography with film cameras, Fuji cameras are a delight. Totally agree with the film simulations especially when you can bracket with different ones.

[@danieliroh]

I'm a young 20 something who recently got into cameras, especially with film. Getting my X-Pro2 for digital was the best camera decision I ever made, it's everything I ever wanted a modern "film" camera to be

[@hervecaby6617]

entièrement d'accord .. fully agree

[@equisetuminc]

Old guy here agrees. XT3 replaced a Nikon F2 ( and arriflex)

[@TheMoodyRed]

Well you should be sponsored 😤 you're like the bestest channel that talks about fujifilm. It's like you assembled the camera yourself. I learn from you better than the user manual. 😂❤️ I soooo love your channel dad!! Thank you for it!!!

[@jamescraig3345]

I also love their continued support of old cameras. I just picked up a used X-T1, ostensibly for a backup, and found it about ten firmware updates behind. I'm gonna love this thing.

[@marcp.1752]

The X-T1 was being supported >5 Years. It's a worlds different Camera since v1.00 to v5.52 Firmware. Same goes for the X-E2, from v1.00 - v4.11 it also received a completely new AF System with v4.00 back into the "Kaizen" days.

[@lorenz1281]

seriously, your Intros are Gold

[@matsic77]

Can only agree. Shot with Canon for about 15 years. But when the X-T4 came out I just thought it looked so good and I wanted a somewhat smaller camera to take on family trips and such. I instantly fell in love with it. I'm now selling all my Canon gear. Fujifilm makes you feel passionate about photography.

[@fallicarusproductions13]

It's just so true. I shot fuji cameras back in highschool all on film, then strayed when I went digital I strayed for a while to Sony, but just bought an x-t4 and it is the most inspiring and competent tool I've used in my career. Amazing video friend! Thanks for all the great content.

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

I agree with you 100%! It was a couple years ago when a good friend of mine let me play with his Fujifilm X 100 F. I instantly fell in love with the camera and purchased a Fujifilm X E2. For those of us who started shooting film, there’s nothing else like the Fujifilm system. Thanks for sharing your love of these cameras.

As always a nice vid Chris! And... You are able to say what I think.. Magic! Greats from Belgium.

[@abr354]

A big part of why I love Fujifilm is because of your channel! Absolutely brilliant as always. Thank you :)

[@carlosc.639]

Totally agree Chris! I love how they keep updating the firmware of old cameras, like the X-T3 autofocus

[@momaaytah6269]

First comment here. I found your enthusiasm and videos on Fuji so infectious that I went out and got my first ever camera, an X-T4 two weeks ago. To top it all off in almost all situations where I had a question about some feature, more often than not you already addressed that question. THANK YOU, you have taught me so much and I really appreciate it. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@satyanu28]

After having multiple cameras for multiple uses. I realised the Fuji system (and that too the APS-C) gave me the flexibility to move from street to sports and cover my professional needs. It has also enabled me to expand my scope of work and forray in to video.

[@MacM545]

I've cherished cameras that I've bought from various brands, including my X-T2, which I bought in autumn 2018. The X-T2 is quite solid. There are many models of cameras that are truly worthwhile to use. The Fuji lenses are one of the most inspiring brand of evolving optics.

[@MrTallpaul67]

I agree with everything you said, fuji camera's are so much fun to use. Sophisticated enough to set in auto if you're feeling lazy but so adaptaptable and customisable when you want to get creative. And their frequent firmware updates are just a huge bonus

[@ActionXander]

Just bought the XT-4! Been watching all your videos and trying to learn all I can about my new camera 📸

[@clintjayphotography4734]

I was just thinking the other day how I wondered why you love Fuji! Awesome!

[@eaojnr]

Love your videos Pal2tech, educative, insightful and fun all packed on a very engaging and illustrative format… great stuff. Please do more videos of the X-S10 for some of us coming to the Fuji world and also embracing this compact all-in-one camera. Some of us really appreciate your work.

Can I like this video 1000 times?! 😄 All your videos are soooo informative & helpful!!!! You are a blessing to us fujifilm users!

[@atharvpatawar8346]

Great video!!! Sums up every aspect!!

[@SquirrelHybrid]

I got into Fujifilm for all those reasons, and I love that they still have a film side to their business. :) I view Fujifilm as a "digital film camera" company instead of a "digital camera" company, but I do wish they'd do more to blend digital & film together - maybe create a printer for rolls of film.

[@lourdesgyan]

Yes I'm hoping they do the printer and maintain film. I love the film simulations

[@Duuve]

Thanks for your videos, I've learned a lot from you!! Keep up the good work and kind regards from Will in the Netherlands 👍

[@drmarkkwon]

I bought my xt4 last month because of you. YOUR SUPPORT!

[@JimSollows]

Great video .. the intro is awesome! You really had me going! I agree with your thoughts totally. I’m a long time film photographer .. and still shoot a lot of film .. Fuji just works for me!

[@educatetube]

I also own Fujifilm X-T3 and I love the classic look and handling. I also own Sony a6100, Sony a7r3, Panasonic GH4, Nikon d7000, and Sigma FP. All are amazing cameras in their own rights. Know the limits of each camera and work around them. Thanks.

[@paulasimson4939]

What an opening! You totally got me!

[@vagifabdulla142]

Great video as always Chris! As Fujifilm has recently made their API open, I believe we are going to see much more competition in third party lenses with very capable auto focus. Samyang has just announced the AF version of their popular 12mm f2 lens for E mount, we can expect to see the X mount version soon.

[@elishscott]

You’re energy is getting me even more excited to switch to Fuji!

[@TheWindyBurrow]

Switched from Canon last year for the X-T3, could never go back! Doing 90% of video and enjoying it so much. Totally agree with what you say! Thanks buddy

[@zanerichards8348]

Spot on. I've shot Fuji since 2013, from the X10 to the X-S1 to the X30 and the absolutely splendid X-E2 which I carry now. I've had a couple of lenses on the E2, one of which was the 7Artisans 25mm (that I highly recommend) but currently have the Fujinon 18mm almost permanently attached. I think the user interface is one of the greatest points, that Fuji has never changed it so much that a person familiar with it can pretty much pick up any Fuji camera and use it easily.

[@larsjlarsj]

I couldn't agree more! I'm totally in love with Fujifilm after, a couple of months ago, shifting from my 10 kg Canon full frame gear to a X-E3 and a X100F. I do a lot of hiking and need to carry leightweight (got the 16-80 lens too) and for street photograhy my X100F is just awesome. I bought both cameras second hand, hardly used at all, and boy did I get good cameras. Never a second have I missed my bulky canon equipment!

[@jamesm9560]

Dang, I love your channel. Keep up the good work.

I was also asked if my fuji xt3 was an old camera dated 70's or 80's and I said the truth and boy his reaction was so satisfying, it make me feel special

Excellent content here! I shoot cinematic with the Fuji XT3 for it's unique colors and ease of use. The camera looks soo good too. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Nicely done!

[@NetTubeUser]

I share the exact same point of view, Pal2tech. Sometimes, I can't stop shooting photos; it's addictive and so fun! Speaking of the X-T4, it would be great if you can make a "tips & tricks" video for the advanced filters! Stay safe, take care, Pal2tech.

[@JakeTheBear1]

What the heck is with that intro!? 😆 What I love about Fujifilm is the community! I've been with other photographers with different gears, all I can say are they are big snobs! They're trying to be intimidating with those big lenses and expensive accessories. And what, only to add presets on their outputs?... Meanwhile we're here with our Fujis just having fun. ;)

[@danielschmaderer]

Couldn’t agree more. Fun should be part of the experience, not a puffed out chest because of a $6500 full frame camera with $3000 glass that’s being used to shoot a random person, some random location in a big city, or their 1998 Toyota Corolla in the parking lot of Walmart. If I’m going to spend that much, I’ll go with a Fuji Medium Format camera and get superior quality. The price to quality ratio is beyond amazing with Fuji and no one seems to care what your shoot with or what lens you have.

[@joerosales1114]

I could not have said it any better! I want quality, but most of all I want to have fun while I shoot pictures.

[@jfw1006]

Yes. I first got an Xt-20 because of size. Hardly ever touched my Nikon again so I replaced it with the Xt-4. I love using the Xt-4 and your videos have been absolutely great. I am even starting to question my sentimental retention of certain Nikon lenses and whether there is any real benefit in continuing to use them with an adapter for any reason other than financial.

[@dylansutton508]

+ the community! such a great community of fuji users & so much enthusiasm

[@GoodPhotos]

I agree with all 5 of your reasons to love Fujifilm Cameras (though I shoot RAW almost always.) In addition to all of the truly superb XF and XC lenses, what I love is that with the addition of some REALLY affordable adapters, I can put just about ANY lens ever made for ANY camera system on my Fuji X bodies with full TTL focus capability (even if the lens was originally not 'coupled' for focusing and was only used as a scale focus lens) and with full AutoISO, I can shoot Manual OR Aperture Priority with these lenses. Very few joys in photography quite like putting a 1954 screw mount Leica lens on a 2021 X-E4 body and making photographs with it.

[@ronaldronaldson9126]

I completely agree about the fun factor! I've owned other cameras but stopped bringing them on my travels because my phone got good enough results, but the controls and JPEGs on the Fuji X-T4 are enough to get me using a real camera again!

[@user-je9lg3pc5y]

Last year I bought an used Fujifilm XT-1 as new and damn, I love it! Even with the kit lens 18-55 it performs very well 🌟

[@kenguru2005]

You are the reason I switched from Panasonic MFT to Fuji. I have a XS-10 with the 18-55, the 55-200 and the Viltrox 23mm 1.4 What can I say? I never regretted the switch. I’m not a professional … I’m a german intensiv care unit doctor who want’s to have a good gear to film and fotograph his two horses in his free time. It was such an update.

[@KGeorge-1]

Hey, I'm calling Mr. Fuji now to help you connect! ALWAYS enjoy your videos! Thank you!

[@mikefoster6018]

AutoISO is my favourite, with a group of three different ones (based around low, medium and high shutter speeds) for each Quick Menu group (the AutoISO shutter speeds in my 'Nature' and 'Street Photography' Quick Menus averaging slightly higher than those in my close up 'Modelling' Quick Menu etc ... but in Street Photography I also have one set for slower shutter speeds knowing I might sometimes be snapping at night). Just switch to the right Quick Menu and AutoISO group within it for wherever you are and then you're sorted, with no further faffing. If I want to adjust brightness, there's the Exposure Compensation dial too. I combine it with ISO Bracketing (so that I've even less to worry about, exposure-wise) and then I can just focus on aperture, composition etc. Terrific.

[@ILOVEMFEO]

I nearly chocked on my coffee at the beginning. Sir, your vids do not much help me in ...resisting Fuji x-t4, I absolutely love it. I will keep resisting though, raison oblige, and write to Santa for one, perhaps.

[@felipeignaciocornejooyarce2170]

I totally agree with the last point, Fuji cameras are really fun to use, more over those machines inspire you to shoot more and more. I felt in love with my X100S, I may say that the only digital camera that makes feel the same is my old Canon 300D, but that is a historical piece at this moment!

[@RichardBO9]

To borrow a phrase from Hugh Brownstone, Fujifilm facilitates the shortest distance between intention and execution. I honestly prefer the ergonomics of the x-h1 to my x-t4, but thanks to your tutorials, I have this camera dialed in so I can control everything with just the front and rear dial and the aperture ring. I’m going to have to try the 40-150.

[@anthonytriana4209]

At the onset, I was like what? That microwave bit was stressful. Needless to say, you have my attention. ;). I very much enjoy you, your style, and your content. You are approachable and the information you impart is very applicable and very thoughtful. I’ve shot Fujifilm for 4 years (1 year for play, initially and 3 years for work) and previously Canon Full Frame for work for 15 years. I enjoy my Fujifilm rig a lot. I used to shoot Kodak portra early in my career and then transitioned to Fujifilm NPS 400, NPC 160, and NPZ 800 back in the film days. I loved Kodak pro 3200 BW film as well as Fujifilm Neopan 1600 BW film. I loved the colors that Fujifilm used with color film then as well as today, digitally. I will say that this only applies somewhat since I shoot raw. I transitioned fully to Capture One in 2018. It was rough at the beginning but as online instruction grew I was able to take the instruction and apply it where needed. My only complaint with capture one is that the tone curve is too aggressive (too much of an s-curve) at default using provia (my favorite for portraits). Do you have any suggestions either in Capture One or in the camera settings of the X-T4 or X-T3? Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@eugenegirshtel]

You totally had me with microwaving the camera. Was waiting for the arcing to occur. I was also worried about your safety! Had to rewind to see the cut you made 😃

[@pal2tech]

Hahaha, yeah, the secret was in the masking out the microwave screen showing the 10 seconds. The shots didn't match so I had to use masking in Final Cut Pro to make the shots as similar as possible! Next video I'll skip the editing the hassle and just microwave the camera for real. 😯
