same here.. what lens are you going to get.. or already got??

😊🙏🏻🖖🏻

😜🙏🏻😊🖖🏻

That is the perfect comparison

Same lol

So right! Though I do prefer focusing manual glass on the highest res OLED EVF I can get my hands on, the Fujifilm's simulated microprism or split prism are pretty nice. - The Leica CL is especially adept with M glass, as that EVF somehow punches above its weight class, and the implementation of finder magnification is lovely.

@@3BMEP Absolutely, the CL and that big beautiful SL2 are unlike anything else when it comes to EVFs. Gets me excited for future advancements in the technology.

@@ChrisSheridan295 hey Chris! Which adapter would you recommend?

@@SkipperGeffen I use a cheaper k&f concept one and it works just fine. I have an fd to fx and and m42 to fx. Also note that some rangefinder lenses are m39 which will require another adapter ring. Due to flange distance differences you cant use fd lenses easily on a dslr but an m42 adapter will work great.

@@3BMEP can you punch in on the EVF for easier manual focusing? Like a 5x or 10x zoom?

Filipe Salgueiro why. The whole point of Fuji ARE the lenses! Until you use the 50mm f2 or 90mm f2 you haven’t lived.

@@agylub 1 - to expand the range of possibilities you have 2 - to compete in terms of prices with what they have available for other brands like Sony or Canon

I think it's more vital to Fuji (which is a smaller company to Sony and Canon) to make more money on lens sales with the price wars being waged on body sales so I get why it's a more closed off system. Fuji lenses are fantastic so I am ok with that tradeoff.

@@shdala111 I understand that, they have their business model that is unique and that's totally ok. I just wanted a Fuji (X-T3, X-S10 or other) with the same lens offer and price I have for the Sony a6400, but one can dream ahah

No animals harmed nor edibles consumed during the making of this video. I learned many decades ago I didn’t need artificial means to bring out the inner me. 🙏🏻😊🖖🏻

He was right. I’ve already spoken with Fujifilm about fixing this in a firmware update.

that's really a sad move from fuji, for still i'm happy to make new dial each time, but for filming that's where i really want custom mode. Know if the software update happened on that ?

🙏🏻

I definitely agree with this. 🙂💯

I am a photo enthusiast and after many hours of exploring full frame Sony etc. I purchased the XS10. I do not place much emphasis on video so that was not an issued compared to XS10. Weather sealing too, a nice feature but if shooting in the mist or drizzle aplastic shroud works fine. On the plus side the ergonomics with the XS10 are the best. Not having a Fuji camera before I did not have any experience with the controls of the camera. I find the controls very easy to customize for whatever scene, style or focus format desired. This camera is W A Y more than a camera for beginners. It certainly could be but if you are looking for more out of a camera you’ll love it. Either way have fun shooting.

Perfect!!

Say, Hugh, I just posted the following comment over on the SnapChick’s video on this camera, and since it’s addressed to you, too, and I don’t expect that you are reading replies to her, I thought I would put a copy here, too. How’s that for service!! :-) To: SnapChick and Hugh - Thanks to both of you for your recent videos on this camera. I am an ancient old SLR/DSLR geezer who is only now in the process of seriously shopping for my first mirrorless camera as a travel alternative to my wonderful, but all-too-heavy Nikon D850. Being a mostly Nikon guy (but, not a fanboy), I had been just trying to decide between the Z6 and new little Z5. But, the result of your two videos is that I will give a serious look at the X-S10. I have no idea what motivated Fuji, but for me, the new PASM dial approach does make this camera more appealing. Not only is it more familiar, coming from the Nikons, but to me it just seems more practical. I mean the physical shutter speed dial is a nice homage to the past - and indeed the cameras I grew up with - but to heck with that when you are trying to get the exact shot you want as quickly as you can. I can’t speak for others, but for me the PASM with two control dials is just more facile and faster. The biggest question I have to answer for myself is whether I want to back off from full frame to crop for my travel photos. Methinks I need to try this one out and compare images from it and one of my Nikon FF’s. For, as I told Hugh over the weekend: In the end, the love you take is equal to the images you make. :-) All the best. Thanks again. JW

What did you decide, and how has it gone?

I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Neil. I lost sleep over it!

@@3BMEP Sorry to hear you lost sleep over it 🙁

XT4 is a fine camera…I believe it and the X S10 are on the Top of the X Series. I do not shoot in severe conditions so WR is not as important for me. I went X S10 ( ergonomics and controls) am very pleased with the camera and I have been shooting all types of cameras for a long, long time. Have fun shooting and editing

🙏🏻😊

😊🙏🏻

Breathe! 😜

@What Are You On About I know, just liking a lot the fact that it's much smaller and lighter, haha. Sounds like a good backup for the XT4.

Thank you! Kind to reply. Much appreciated!

It is! 😊🖖🏻

I don’t expect an a7xxx, but I have no inside knowledge. Waiting for Black Friday is not a bad idea in any case. I think it’s a great camera, but really, so are the others. It’s a question of use cases, priorities, and budget - as always. 🙏🏻😊

@@3BMEP Yeah, totally get that. Though it's hard for me to choose as I have no experience with "Real" cameras so I'm not really sure what I truly need. (Is that 4k 60 really that important to me? I know I wanna be uploading things in 4k, + 4k helps a lot when shooting and reframing myself, but is 4k 60 that important to me for broll?). Thanks though, and looking forward to more Yoga/Mindfulness/philosophy infused reviews and videos :D

😉

Oh dear, and I commented at the very beginning of the video, while I should have waited till the end. Just goes to show that Tomorrow Never Knows.

So right! I looked at the wrong column in my spreadsheet. Thanks for the correction. 👍🏻💯

@@3BMEP 50% would have been really amazing! My problem with smaller bodies, as appealing as they may be, is that the lenses they use are the same, and my 16-80 already feels a bit bulky on my X-T4. If I was more of a prime lens kind of guy, then the smaller bodies would really be a no brainer. Unfortunately, at this point, my grandkids move a bit too fast for me to put on a prime lens. I guess 2 bodies could be a tempting solution!

I understand. 😊

You really DO need to take a look at this little X-S10. Fujifilm cameras now are compatible with the Weebil S

@@3BMEP The Fuji's really do have enormously satisfying clicks and clacks.

🙏🏻😊🖖🏻

Dual card slots, EVF, 4K/60 & 10-bit internal vs. size, IBIS, and price - your call. 😊🖖🏻

I think your idea has merit!

touch screen has to be better so that it feels as good as operating a phone or its worthless. I do however, use the swipe functions and enjoy them.

You don't hate touch screens. You hate bad touch screens.

@@danieldougan269 indeed. I also enjoy the tactile experience of buttons and dials that Fuji does so well, but navigating menus could/should be as easy as navigating our smartphones.

I have a gh5 and the touch screen is not laggy, its perfect! Just buy a better camera. I guess you are a sony user, they have terrible screens

My fingers have no capacitance. They don't work well with touch screen, even on cellphones.

🙏🏻😊

Great questions! TBD.

🙏🏻🖖🏻

😊🙏🏻🖖🏻

Ah - thanks so much. Fixed.

@@3BMEP np. I'm always on the look out for new cameras, but unfortunately coming from the Lumix line up, I'm disappointed by video features. The G9 has been in my sights for a while now due to internal 10 bit 4k, as well as 8 bit 4k 60. Anyways, random tangent of the day!

@@thatsreallyamoon We love the G9. Definitely a real world go-to for our video work.

@@3BMEP In your opinion, would you buy the 12-60 Leica bundle with it? I have the Lumix 12-60, but what attracts me towards the Leica is: With the bundle, you get the whole thing for 1000 (G9) + 600 (Leica) as opposed to 900 Leica if bought alone. Also, the fact that it is electronically parafocal is honestly a random shocking feature I would appreciate. Of course the extra stop of light means the difference between 800 ISO and 1600... Would you say it's worth it?
