Why you dont need a brand new camera

[@frankartale1026]

X-E1 & 2 have an awesome layout and the X-T1 is another great classic.

[@boradoesphoto]

exactly! would love to own one some day... (xe1 im talking about :) )

[@frankartale1026]

@@boradoesphoto It's my favorite camera. I love the x-t1 body as well, but i have an issue with some of the skin processing on the x-trans ii. To me nothing beats the original x-trans in the x-e1. It would be nice if it had the upgrades of the x-e2 though. Better focus peaking, phase detect, electronic shutter etc...

[@boradoesphoto]

@@frankartale1026 i love the xt1 aswell, it was my first fuji camera... i really gotta try another xtrans I camera someday now that you're mentioning it haha

[@beelzking]

that x-t3 for 500 euro is a steal, it's still a really good camera and the last of the line to be made in Japan(not that it really matter, but it's neat!)

The trade off is newest body gives you the most up to date features at the highest price. Older cameras are less expensive but the features aren’t the best. Do you need the highest qualities or the best price? Is there a middle ground for you? Older camera that took good quality images continue to take good quality images. The question is what do you need? For image stabilization for example, is three axis stabilization adequate for your needs or do you need five? I’ve purchase some old bodies recently. I bought a XE1 a couple months ago. Last month I bought a XE2 for $360 and a LUMIX GX85 for $300. I am awaiting the arrival of of a Sony RX1mii today I paid $400. For me I don’t need the latest & greatest gear even though I can afford it. Older gear produces images that are good enough for me. Feature rich bodies don’t appeal to me as I don’t use most of the features. The great analog photographers never had the features we have even on older bodies. Sometimes, especially for amateur photographers, good enough is good enough. No one ever asked Hemingway what typewriter he used to write his novels. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

I also started at the end of last year and I got a Fujifilm X-T100 (released in 2018). It's cheap because it's one of the entry level bayer sensor camera, but it have a lot of physical dials for easy exposure triangle adjustments, got myself a cheap manual focus prime lens, and that really helped me with learning photography in general. It also have a 3-way tilting lcd so it's quite nice for waist level or low angle shots that I fell in love taking. The only new/upcoming camera I can see buying is the rumored Fuji X-M5, their supposedly new entry level ILC yet compact camera.

@@shira_yone i’d love an xm5 or even a new xe5… we’ll see

[@HaiTomVlog]

I’m still using an XE2 and a Nikon D7100 regularly 😂

[@boradoesphoto]

@@HaiTomVlog the xe2 rocks!

[@muslihatkedua7422]

xt 3 for 500?!! thats crazy steal man, in my country you need to spend like 800 usd

[@boradoesphoto]

@@muslihatkedua7422 yea i got very lucky lmao!

[@snapswithdave]

Good advice! I got a second hand Sony a7r ii for £500 a couple of years ago and it’s been fantastic! Spent some of the money i saved on photography trips instead!

X-T2 still cost €450-€550, you've got a nice deal for that X-T3. I also jump between format and brands by buying and selling used cameras until I settled with the one that I really like. I still keep my ( bought brand new in 2019 ) X-E3 + XF 18-55 f2.8-4 Kit and instead of adding a used X-T2 or X-T3 and one XF prime, I decided to go back to MFT with mint condition Lumix G9 + Leica DG 12-60 f2.8-4 and Lumix 27mm f1.7 for about €1000.You can of course get good set with Fujifilm for the same price. You can also get Sony or Lumix Full Frame with 1 lens for the same price. It just really all comes down to what makes you do the job workwise and have fun personal wise. Nice video! Thanks!

[@jameschetwynd]

Older bridge cameras huge zoom about $300.

[@brompterdam]

@@jameschetwynd yeah! Sony RX10 Mk II or Lumix FZ1000 II are really nice too. It is around that price. I am hunting for a good one.

[@lonootje]
