I'm a photographer with an apsc camera, so far my clients have no complaints with the photos. There is only one client who complained why the camera I brought was small? Because the previous photographer brought a big camera. But after seeing the results, again there are no complaints. I use a Sony A6400 camera and I assure, APSC can also be for professional work. Cheers!!

I 'm now retired, but used my X-T2 and X-H1 for photojournalism for years. No complaints.

XT-3 is what got me into Fuji....LOOOOOVVVEEEEEDDDD that camera!!

I have been using fuji professionally for about 5 years now and yeah, its a solid system. the xt4 and after, uses the new (much bigger) battery which was the biggest leap forward for me from the xt3. regardless, just wait till you get your hands on the old 35mm f1.4 or the new Viltrox 75mm f1.2 you will just looove the character of the images it produces. Anyhoo love your work. keep on keeping on.

Great video! I’m very much an amateur who has a lot to learn. Last year I wanted an X100V because it was all the rage and it really appealed to me. But prices were ludicrous so I got an XT-5, and gradually fell in love with it. I recently treated myself to an X100VI, and was lucky enough to get a pre-order. I love both cameras!

Pro for 38 years. Switched to Fuji around 2018 from Canon and previously Nikon. I am a very busy corporate event shooter as well as a busy classic portrait shooter. I could not be happier. Trust me, I know quality and Fuji delivers it. Even my Sony associates love my images. Sports? Maybe not. But I'm not a sports shooter. Noisy at high ISOs? Yeah. But how large will those images go anyway THESE days? A phone? A computer screen? If I NEEDED less noise at high ISO then yeah, I'd choose Sony or Canon. But high ISO is not something I worry about.

Zach Arias has been using Fuji cameras for professional work since the X-Pros 2. ...or earlier. Ben Chrisman has been shooting weddings since the X-Pro 3. I shot 4 seasons of weddings with the X-T2 - only in the most extreme dark lighting, did the X-T2 struggle. ...Fuji has been plenty good for quite a while.

Caleb, new follower. Keep bring this real world content. It's sorely needed on KZfaq. That said, I didn't realise this was actually still a question. There are a number of professional photographers who only shoot with a Fujifilm based kit. John Branch, a Charlotte-based wedding photographer is the first person who comes to mind and he's an avid KZfaqr worth checking out if you don't know his work. We have a saying in West Africa, and I paraphrase, "he who thinks his mother is the best cook never visits". Simply put if you've never shot with another kit, you only know what you know. I've shoot Canon, LUMIX, Leica, Nikon, and last but certainly not least Fujifilm for both personal and professional work. The only system I refuse to shoot is Sony and my reasoning is quite simple, I don't like their colour science or convoluted menus system. I shot with Fujifilm for nearly 7 years but sold off my entire Fujifilm kit in 2023 for the Leica M10-R, LUMIX S5II and now Nikon Zf only shooting with M mount lenses. For this stage in my evolution as a photography and the art I want to continue creating full-frame was what I needed as a tool. But that in no way means I didn't enjoy my experiences with the Fujifilm line of cameras. The X-Pro3 still remains my favourite cameras of all-time and the only reason I sold it was because Fujifilm has taken too long to come out with the X-Pro4. So, hats off to all the Fujifilm shooters our there. It's a creative beast. Happy shooting.

Great video thank you! I have printed from my xt5 huge pictures of couples and I find them soooo much more pleasing than my a7rv photos.

Have you tried Capture One? It renders the Fuji files really nice. Never have issues.

Hi Caleb, just discovered your channel and I am really liking it. Keep up the good work. Btw, which camera are you using to record video? Thank you Caleb.

Awesome insights. Got the same lenses actually, I was wondering what lens caps you were using for them? They look nice and easy to slip on and off

Would be interesting to see you use a XE1 for a shoot and your impression. Maungaturoto New Zealand.

Remember we shot weddings with film cameras ......so yes we can use a fuji to shoot a wedding

I started my photography journey in November with my xs10 FujiFilm, and I love them! I’m into night photography and the images are beautiful!

which lans cap u put on ur lans sir

i'm primarily a Sony shooter, I recently picked up the Xh2 to try it alongside my A7IV for an upcoming wedding. I love my sony, but i needed that special fuji color profile to get some more inspiration.

YES!

Oh if only Fujifilm went full frame with this retro analog body. Even better a gfx series 100mp that has this dial setup.

Yes. APSC use to be a pejorative. But they've made the gap in the last few years.

Yes. I shot both systems. I honestly can't tell the difference.

Ive always found that the debate of FF vs APSC is mostly done by people who are not professionals in the industry at all. Ive been shooting commercially (Product, Web, food) for the past 8 years with 4 of that being shot with Fuji (I run the xt4/XH2/XH2s) and I can tell you, not a single client has ever said a single thing about shooting apsc. Clients do not care what you shoot, they just care about gettin the content to put up on socials at the end of the day!

Try the GFX 50r, 50s, or 50sii cameras and you will forget full frame fast. Currently own the x-t5, x-h2s, and the GFX 50sii and couldn’t be happier (coming from Canon)

It amuses and annoys me to no end as to why so many question Fuji’s capabilities to do professional work. I am an ex-news/wire shooter and while I was a Canon shooter going back to 1980, I instantly gravitated to the Fuji system upon leaving the news biz in 2016…after all I had been shooting Fuji film stock since 1991 after leaving Kodachrome. I largely shoot editorial, travel, and stock these days and since making the switch to Fuji in 2016, clients seem happy, I am still working, so…yeah, I guess you can use a camera from a company that has been in the image making business for over 90 years and cameras for some 75 years now…who knew, eh…? I believe that Fuji has more photographic knowledge and history than say…Sony. That said, Fuji really needs to get serious and address the Elephant in the room, namely their AF. Firmware updates are fine and all, but they seem to rarely solve the issue of a mediocre AF system. Frankly, I don't get it, surely their engineers and designers are every bit as smart as those from Sony and Canon. Honestly, having to “menu dive” to tweak and hack for a better AF experience, c’mon Fuji, really…? Still, I am going to tough it out, I simply love these cameras, especially the X-pros and X-Tx lines as well as the X-E series. I am from an older generation of shooters (58) and we tend to ‘marry’ into a particular system and from 1978 to 2016, it was Canon. Barring some unforeseeable situations, I will likely stick with Fuji until the end.

i had the same problem thinking that apsc are just straight up inferior and not worth the shot because that's what the people who don't know anything about photography been preaching

sure, the GFX is also "professional" can mean a lot of different things.

Love this guy!!!

My friend and coworker is a sony ambassador and he was trying to convince me to jump to Sony FF after my Canon M50 APSC but I didn't want to be in the same crowd so I went Fujifilm lol. He still keeps telling me every so often to sell it and go Sony lol.

it depends on who is considered a professional. Nowadays such portraits can be shot with any camera, but I wouldn’t shoot a serious repor/sport events with a Fuji. Casual , boudoir , intimate weddings that's ok.

More than enough

I am a Pro and yes - however I also use Hasselblad but for most applications all fuji MF is good enough - just a bit fiddly and faffy with all the menus and buttons - and of course flash sync limitations and just a special mention the 250 is a fantastic portrait lens for fashion

Umm... Yes. Pro's use m4/3, APS-C & FF, so a bit of a silly question really.

Get a GFX and you won't miss FF

Too many old lenses, slow and loud AF even with new ones (56/1.2 WR), updates are too slow. No fast focusing fast prime portrait lenses in the range 40-80mm. Tracking is still far behind the competition, if there are more than just one object in the frame, even with the XH2s.

'Promo sm'

You look a guy that makes microphone videos

The rendering of textures and dynamic range of the fuji x-system aren't great *at all*, and colors aren't either despite the "fuji exceptional color science" myth and the hype around their film simulations...Images coming out lack the natural feel, color nuances and details of ff and mf, their digital nature gets obvious when observed at 100%. The only positive points are their cameras' design from an aesthetic and ergonomic standpoint (but the menu system is still a bit messy/buggy), the fact that they're not overly heavy and large, and their price, that's all.

What a stupid title and question.
