That's a bargain right there. Great choice of camera and great choice of lenses too. I think the 23mm may the next prime lens I get at some point. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. ✌

Hey Tom! Yeah it just makes sense especially if you get a good deal on it. It is a little annoying tbf it seems like these upgrades could have just been a firmware update for the XT30 but whatever hopefully we get some of them at some point haha

@@MacnTeensVisuals I certainly hope so… it’s a little puzzling to see Fujifilm ignoring their base like that, they’ve got such a great track record. Hope it comes for all of you! 🤙🏼

Maybe I’m a bit of a skeptic. But I’d think they’d hold off on the firmware update to keep as much difference between the xt30 and xt30ii to drive more sales. It doesn’t matter for a brand new Fuji customer but Fuji xt30 owners would be a lot less likely to upgrade to the newer model if they could get a firmware update that would give them half of the new features. I’d they’d planning a new firmware update to give their customers some of the new features they’ll probably wait until they get their sales from the launch of the new model.

@@atsylor5549 that’s a good point… 👌🏼

Now that does make sense Jamie, that is a worthwhile upgrade 👍

Thanks appreciate it. Thats exactly what I tried to do 👍🏼

I would recommend the X-T3 because it has more features and is also weather resistance. 👍🏼

Oh really 😮 Well that would be quite the saving alright. To be honest I think unless you really need the extra video features in the X-T5 you will probably be happy enough with the X-T30 ii. I would love to hear how it goes for you though. Feel free to join the Discord and let us know, I imagine everyone would be interested too haha

No problem, hope it was helpful. Yeah we totally agree, not enough difference to bother changing,

Hey John, I think you're right, not really worth the time. Yeah look forward to seeing the XH2 too. Cheers for watching, have a nice week ✌

Hey! Thanks for watching, hope it was helpful :) Ehh not the sit down parts, we use a Sony RX10 III for those because the file sizes are smaller.

Cheers Jon, almost there I think haha

Hey Maureen! Thanks very much the support means a lot & glad you're enjoying the videos :) To be honest no you wouldn't really notice the differences much at all. A few of the upgrades are nice but nothing major so it's totally up to you really. The XT30 will probably drop in price a little at some point but for now they are pretty much the same. I'd recommend trying to get a used lens to lower the overall price 👍

Great question, honestly not 100% sure I think you can. There may be one setting the XT30 II has that the XT30 does not but I may be mistaken, that could be the X-T4.

@@MacnTeensVisuals Hope this is ok! Copying the question I asked on facbeook, maybe you can help even more. Hi there! I use a nikon z6 for my photography work, but I want something lighter for my everyday stuff. I took my old cameras with me EVERYWHERE for years and years and now with a one year old I just cant. I don't have the time, or place. But I miss the everyday shots so freaking bad. This will make this part of my life spark again :') I've obviously looked at the 100v but I feel like maybe I can buy something cheaper for what Im using it for? But there are so many, and I dont usually work with fuji so feel a bit lost. Would love to sort it out a bit, and hope you can help me! 🙂 Which camera would you recommend if I want/need this: - Use mainly for Instagram and smaller things = do not need high resolution. - Need the film simulations. This and the next one is the most important. - Needs to be easy to connect to the phone, with the simulation, to easily be uploaded right away. Thank you 🙂

Looks like Camera center at Grafton street has XT30ii in stock as per their website.

Hey Sue! I'm sure you would enjoy using either of those, fun cameras to use. Honestly we haven't used many of them, I think we got our camera from Curry's but there is the likes of Jessops & Wex that have a lot of stuff but we haven't used them ourselves yet.

XT30 II offers much more flexibility to customizing film simulations; you can even set you custom shift in Auto White Balance for every custom simulation you create. It s like X-Pro3, XT4 etc in this area.

Yeah hopefully the original X-T30 gets some of the upgrades. It definitely is a strange camera release not sure it was really necessary to be honest.

@@MacnTeensVisuals totally agree with you

Yes I believe so. The camera has the new film simulations so they should be available to use for photo & video. Yes I definitely would recommend it, even though we don't really do street photography we do a wide variety of photography and it works great 👍

Absolutely, it may lack a few features of more expensive cameras in Fuji's range but it's still a little beast.

Yeah it is a decent addition. Oh now you're talking haha internal 10-bit would be super nice. We actually want to try a little cinematic video with it using F-log even though it will just be 8-bit interested to see how it turns out.

@@MacnTeensVisuals please do! :)

Cheers Samuele appreciate it 🙂✌

Hey Bruce, totally agree it is a little confusing tbh haha And yeah adding another lens to the collection would be much more beneficial for most people I'd imagine. Yeah I mean with them being pretty much the same price it just makes sense, it really is a strange camera release lol

Yep you're totally right. I would recommend buying the used X-T30. The difference isn't enough to spend that much more at all. 👍

Great question actually.... hmm well it depends. The X-S10 is the latest model and also has IBIS which is very nice for video. The XT3 is a little older but does have the capability to shoot 10 Bit Internal. To me it would come down to whether you want to shoot 10 Bit or have more stabilisation. Those are the main differences really. As much as I love the XT30 the other two have some extra advantages but are also a little more expensive.

Hey Leonardo, yeah it's not a good look, make sure you are using the 180 degree shutter rule (shutter speed double the frame rate) 👍

Hey Britwin, to record the actual talking part of this video we used a Sony RX10 III shooting 4K 👍 The lighting setup is probably what makes it look nicer but the quality is good too.

We may be a bit biased but for us I think we made the right decision going for the XT30. The video quality and colours are amazing 👌

Do you mean the color of the actual camera. If so then yes this is just the silver model which is available in both the XT30 and XT30 ii 👍

Yep sure does, in both 4K & 1080 👍

Hey! I'm not sure exactly what you mean but if you are talking about the film simulations then yes the XT30 II has some extra film simulations.

@@MacnTeensVisuals Yes, Simulations :) thanks 👍

Hey Nikolay, I believe you are right actually, my bad. Thanks though all good now 👍 Have a nice weekend.

You think? 😂
