Most of us don't NEED to "upgrade" unless we can't take photos we want to, with the kit that we already have. I don't use 95% of the settings and stuff that my T3 has. Maybe changing or adding a lens is actually more useful than a new camera. Years back I saw an exhibition of photographs of folk living on a remote island, north of Scotland. It was a very poor community. One of the old guys said despite all the hardships "we were happy. We never needed more than we had". That's always stayed with me.

I first joined this channel to learn more about Fuji gear, but I keep coming back for more content like this! I bought the xt2 when it came out. I’m not a pro and it was my first “real” camera and I felt a little ridiculous spending so much but Ive been so happy with it over the years and have felt no need to upgrade. Ive stuck with the 18-55, 55-200, and 35f2 and recently 16f2.8 for a light setup - the 35 being my favorite. Love your art and your approach to things. Keep up the great work!

Man, I gotta say of all the camera review channels (DPReview; pa2tech; Roman Fox etc.) you actually take the best pictures of them all. Probably the most important part and says a lot about how you look at the art form. Nice work.

SPOT-ON! still loyal to my XT20 and loving it. Actually you convinced me to buy it 5 years ago in one of the first videos on your channel. I was eyeballing the xt5 for a while because it has all these superpowers that would make my photography better - I thought 🤔. But I was/am shooting always the same surroundings so "WE" decided to use the extra $$$ for widening our horizons and booked a trip to visit some National parks in California this year. I bet the images from that trip on a 24MP Sensor will beat the crap out of some 40MP local garden shots :-). Thanks for sharing as always relevant content in your own unique style 🙌🙌

You can often find upgraded experiences right out your back door. It wasn’t until I explored an in-city park in Houston, Texas that I found a love for bird photography. The setting and variety was amazing and it had been there the whole time looking me in the face. Literally only a 10 min drive.

You knocked it out of the park! Great video. Travel inspires you to shoot more, to document more, to create more with the camera and lenses you already have. Traveling breathes new life into older equipment. Thanks for the reminder! 📷

This video is such a good answer to all those videos out there pushing gear over an experience while also filming the experience with the most expensive gear. I hope you’ll do more of these. Finally, Portugal is def on my list!

I recently upgraded from the x-t20 to the x-s10. Since I got the x-s10, I practiced a lot more because I feel like the camera allows me to take better photos. But seeing your output using the x-t20 and the kit lens (albeit, a very good kit lens) makes me rethink my decision. I got the x-t20 back in December 2019, and a few months after, the pandemic hit. Looking back, I never really had the chance to use that camera and maybe I should've used the money to upgrade to go on a trip with it, instead.

What a great video, so good and refreshing to see someone tell us just to go out and enjoy the world! The best advice for all photographers out there, from hobbyist to professional.

The 55-200 is an amazing lens. Never been disappointed with its results

Such wise advice. I was starting to fall down the GAS rabbit hole, but finally calmed myself down and settled on sticking with Fuji and traveling with 2 lenses only. We're off to Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa this spring. In the past, I was guilty of taking ALL the lenses and paraphernalia and then being too weighted down to get around much without getting a backache. Or too paralyzed by which lens/focal length to use to actually take the photo. Or, I would just plain miss it while fumbling around. Can't wait to see more from your Portugal trip, Omar.

Well done Omar, you are so right! As a non professional, most cameras & lens will be fine for me, no need to upgrade. Proud X-T20 & old 56 and 23 user. Went to Lisbon and Porto recently, very nice! We love you Omar for your humour and modesty!

I just did exactly what you suggested, Omar. I decided to keep my Fujifilm XT4 and not upgrade to the XT5. I am very happy with my XT4 and I will take it along with us on a holiday New Years cruise to the Bahamas. Not paying for a upgrade to the XT5 helped cover the cost of the cruise. No doubt I will come back with some amazing photos and videos!

Thank you so much for this! In addition to photography, I lead groups of Americans as a tour leader in Italy, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Turkey, and other places. I shoot professionally, and I'm using 2 XT2s and a Pro2. I really thought about the XT5, but this is the first XT series camera that doesn't have a battery grip option. Dealbreaker. And when I really thought about it, I realize my cameras focus fast enough for my shooting, and I'm totally happy with the image quality, especially in low light. So why upgrade? See the world instead! (Plus, invest in lenses! I have 10 Fuji lenses, plus 2 Fuji adapted Nikon lenses)

I follow you for many years Omar, I’m French, and that’s the first comment I leave on your channel. I love this video. X-T20 is my camera and I don’t need to upgrade it since I have so much to learn in photography and so many places to see. You said the essential. Thank you.

Totally agree. Trips are my life. I love to travel, photography during the trip is the engine which drives me on and on. I was 13 years on the road during my first 20yrs after quitting school, then I took the big step. 13yrs later, still in Bangkok, such an amazing city, an adventure at my doorsteps every time I grab my cam and roam about. Yet more trips out of here, by bike, or backpacking in the region, and still, the wish list of trips gets longer and longer... Work with what you have, learn its limits, work within those limits. And go on another trip!

Anxiously await your videos each week. You never disappoint. My only camera at the moment is the x t20, thanks to you. I have been waiting for the xt5 for the ibis and weather sealing, but decided to hold off because the x t20 is such a great little camera. I do splurge on glass, because I know I’ll still be using it when I do upgrade. I’ve made two trips to Ireland and am planning another later this year. The money is much better spent on experiences. Highly recommend!!!!!!

Omar, this video is downright perfect: The intro, the music, the beautiful images and videos. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air with your creativity, humor and empathy.

I could not agree with you more. This past summer I went to Switzerland and Italy with just my Fuji X-T3 and the 18-55 lens. This minimal kit enabled me to totally enjoy my trip and capture beautiful images without the worry of lens or body choices. I am a firm believer in not upgrading my hardware unless there is a function or need that absolutely warrants it. The comfort of having a familiar tool in your hands when experiencing new or different locations, gives one added confidence in capturing those memorable moments and worth more than having the latest body or lens.

Still enjoying the X-T2, at the time it replaced a Canon Rebel camera. Got all the features I wanted out of APSC back in 2017 and still thrilled every time I hit the shutter.

X-T3 + 18-55 + 55-200 was my go to travel combo for the longest time. That is what I had when I first started photography. Then I replaced the 18-55 with the big ole 16-55 2.8...So big. Problem became FOMO and taking a bunch of gear in preparation for the unknown...Which causes one to be dragged down by weight and choices. Makes you not want to take out your camera. Going to Portugal and Italy in a few weeks. Going to go back to just X-T3 + 18-55 + 55-200. I'm giving myself a 2kg /4.4lbs gear weight budget. No more FOMO.

Love that 18-55 "kit" lens. I keep reaching for that whenever I travel or go somewhere new. It truly is the best kit lens ever!

Omar, thanks to you I’ve got my X-T20 in 2017. I’ve learned to set my camera with your help, was watching your lense reviews before purchasing new gear. In 2023 I still have my true love x-t20. Photography has became a very important part of my life. That hobby helps me not to go crazy, I can always escape the reality when I really need that. Especially nowadays... From Russia with love, wishing peace and health to everyone!

Great video, the photo-gear community needed it :) What I did last year instead of upgrading was lowering my job contract to 80% so I had 1 more day a week to produce content. It was worth it.

Such incredible scenery! That place was made for you with all of the bursting colors. Also love the cobblestone and architecture. You are spot on. Even taking a road trip in your own state can be so inspirational. This reminded me of Roman Fox's video from Porto, Portugal. So many colors!! Well, thank you to your wife from all of us!! Awesome video and lesson learned. One trip I want to make is one you went to, Clinton NJ. It's just a short drive from the Lehigh Valley, PA. My big dream locations is Scotland. Thomas Heaton and a Twitter friend who lives there have me really wanting to go there. Thanks for the continued inspiration! Have a rockin' Thursday..... Oh, speaking of rockin', you should play that PRS in the corner one day... Later......

Great video Omar. My wife and I just exactly did this last week. We did a 10 day road trip that took us to visit San Diego, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and Phoenix. It’s the first time we did this and I can say a relaxing one without the common stress associated when travelling. It really inspires me to plan for a similar trips in the near future. I do not own any Fuji cameras, however I really want to start with an X-T30ii as my first Fuji.

Iceland! ...of course, I did upgrade to an X-T5... Glad you had a wonderful trip Omar.

You REALLY bring another dimension to these photo-centric YT vids that I so enjoy. I am a very appreciative subscriber. I was in Portugal pre-COVID (doesn't that feel ages ago!) and really enjoyed myself. Cities. countryside, beaches, food, the people-such a wonderful place to be. Here you are discussing Fuji, and no one mentions LR or Capture One or worms! BIG thumbs up.

Hi Omar, Welcome back home! I've been anticipating this video, I hope you share more of your Portugal experience. We were planning to go next month but vacation plans changed. So instead, I upgraded. :) From the x-t2 to the x-s10, and I just love it! Especially the touch screen. The overall design is really working for me. Anyway, I'm reviewing some of your older video as a reminder for diving into the settings. So thank you!!

THE BEST VIDEO OF 2023. Thank you, as always, for reminding us that the craft is far more important than the gear. You are the best.

Those were great pictures, Omar! Great advice for everyone but especially for someone like me who is newish. It was my family trip abroad last summer more than anything that kickstarted my development-there was the prep associated with “which lens or lenses, what’s in my bag?” and then the volume of shots and then the how do I like my workflow and editing and printing. That week long trip birthed probably three months of growth. Granted later trips won’t do quite that much because I literally was starting with next to nothing set in terms of how to do all this, but what dividends!

I love that, despite the stable of high-end gear that you have available, you took the OG X-T20. Your shots definitely reflect that the humble X-T20 is a more than capable enough tool to capture some absolutely brilliant looks in the hands of someone with creativity and skill.

Total agree with all you said, Omar. I too, use my phone as much as my camera for photography and find that without blowing up the images larger than I would use or cropping significantly , which I tend to avoid by getting the framing right first time; find that my images impress those who view my photo books ; including professional photographers who assume all the images in the books are all from the camera alone . First and foremost , it is the image that comes first and how that invokes the emotions of the story it is telling as a single image or part of a sequence of images . Since I am now retired and do not need a heavy camera bag to give me neck ache, I now also enjoy my photography even more. Sure, there are moments it feels like the time I first took up a camera , but with the added benefit I know how to work the scene and the key controls to capture the image without spending long on post processing . Back in the film days I spent hours in the darkroom and thought nothing of it. How I wished I had digital cameras like we have to day with tilt screen . I don’t do video so a flip out screen is not something I seek or need. Megapixels are meaningless, as is full frame requirements . Sure , Fuji have some very nice cameras and lenses ; as do others ha ha; but that said means that understanding sensor size and working shutter - iso - aperture linked to meter readings and being able to use one’s eye to gage exposure and visualise the scene ; all contribute to an increased number of keepers from the experience . Having a good phone is invaluable when out and about without a camera . The camera produces better images , but that is a little like comparing enlargements of the images and it is clear that most of us achieve nothing by upgrading . Sure , new sensors and other wizardry tools in the new gear may help , but how often do we need any of that ? Invaluable reminder to us all , Omar. Brilliant video by the way .

This is great advice Omar! I will definitely keep this in mind the next time I feel like chasing that new shiny piece of tech.

I bought the xt20 because of you 2 years ago and I love it but I was thinking to maybe maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe buy the x100v, but this is the advice I needed. Im so happy to see you are still making videos about the xt20!

Right on, man! And hooray for Ms. Gonzalez!

Hi Omar! I was very happy that you came to my country, Portugal. Your video is a true platform to show the beauties of Portugal to the world. When you come back to Portugal, come to the North, but further inland... There are beautiful landscapes, good food, good wines and cheeses, and above all good people... I'm from Braga and that's why I'm suspicious when talking about my beautiful city. But if you ever come to Braga, you will notice that it is a very photogenic city, with an excellent quality of life... It is considered the Portuguese Rome because in every street you will find a church... In terms of architecture, Braga's baroque predominates, which it's a sui generis style... Well, but speaking of cameras, in my case, from Fujifilm, my first Fujifilm camera was a Fujifilm X-20, not X-T20 but X-20, therefore older. It's only 12 megapixels but the photos are incredible... For travel and family it's the best for me... I also had an X-T20 but since I wanted to buy an X-H1 I sold it to MPB and I bought the X-H1 which I love . As I'm not very interested in video but only photography, that camera is fabulous with its IBIS... But I'm going to buy the X-T20 or an X-T2 again. I recently bought an X-T10 and the X-T1, also fabulous cameras with breathtakingly beautiful images. For me, that's enough... I don't want new models because the sensor on those cameras is fantastic, I think it's better than current machines... They remind me of the tonalities of analogue photos on film from the old days. So I'm well served. And finally, there are two countries I would love to take a photo trip to: Cuba and Morocco. Because they are countries with places where colors stand out, magical places of color... Finally, just to tell you that I'm an unconditional fan of yours, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I've shared your ideas and photographic perspectives. Receive cordial greetings from here in Portugal, this garden by the sea planted!...

You know, Omar.. This is the type of content that I always love watching on your channel -- Travel videos and photography -- and it doesn't matter if it's in a different country or just right down the block from your house. Cheers!

Doing both this year! I had a Canon 6dii that really was nothing special but did the job. Decided I wanted to do more video and I'm upgrading to the Lumix s5ii to get a more future-proof camera for both photo and video. Also decided to sell off all my big canon lenses and just use a single 24-105 lens since I do travel a lot and live abroad and it sucks when you're going somewhere for several months or years and you need to use a whole carry-on for camera gear. This summer, I'm blessed to get to go to Switzerland and maybe even see Germany as well as spend time in one of my favorite cities - Istanbul. If I could go anywhere for an adventure, I'd love to see Cambodia and Vietnam or Nepal. If I was going to recommend a place to go see - it would be Ecuador. It's gorgeous and the wildlife is amazing. Zip lining, rock climbing, and repelling down waterfalls - it's all awesome and very cheap compared to a lot of places. For less adventurous westerners, I'd highly highly recommend Alaska. Just raw nature - it's incredible.

Omar is not only a skilled commercial photographer, but also a magnificent street photographer. Bravo brother.

My brother and sis-in-law just returned from vacation in Portugal (they live in AZ). They loved it. Spot on about "instant gratification" too.

Did a Douro River riverboat cruise in Portugal just pre covid. Spent time in Lisbon & Porto. Fabulous time !. Finally another riverboat cruise planned for this summer. Number 4 .Have some catching up to do. Use my 18-55 a lot too.

Great idea, Omar! I need to see a video like this. Thank you.

Omar, you always say something helpful to me, and often at exactly the right time. Because of my wife’s health I have some limitations .. but there are some great day trips in and near Indiana in my future!!

Hi Omar! Great video! It's fun to see my country from others perspective! Congrats from Portugal!

Talking so much sense as ever Omar! Love the no nonsense advice bro 😊

I just have the 16-80 and the 35 mm with the xT2. It is perfect and a delight, and I really do not need more 'options' with lenses or fancy controls, as this takes away from the clarity, joy and simplicity of just popping the camera in a wee bag along with an apple and heading out for an adventure.

Omar, you came to my beloved country, Portugal! 😊 I hope you truly enjoyed it. Sintra is my ‘backyard’ since I live nearby. I still use my oooold X-T10, becoming too much used, maybe a replacement… 😅 But every year my family travels, which is great. Nice video. 😊

Good to know you liked my country! And the new experiences!

Omar: I always look for your videos on KZfaq. Love your photos from Portugal which I have visited . You have a great eye for the perfect shot. Your street photography continues to inspire me. Recently was in Israel with my son and my goal was to try to capture the essence of place, particularly the street life in Tel Aviv. I have a Nikon Z5 and didn't want to carry the 50mm f1.8 lens which I consider to be large if carrying a camera across your chest all day so I bought the 28mm f2.8 lens and 40mm f2 lens for the trip. Was great for travel but when I went out for the day ( no bag with me) when I had the 2.8mm lens on I wished I had the 40mm lens and visa versa. However both were great and I enjoyed walking the streets and beach of Tel Aviv. What I captured leaves room for improvement and so you continue to be my inspiration.

There's always a feel of fresh air that comes from your videos, nice to see someone could finally say "this is enough gear" (now tell us how you did it) 😁😁😁😁

Very cool photos and that looks like a really cool trip. Love Portugal 🇵🇹 . Just back from a long weekend in Vienna and in every way it was worth it. 🎉

Nice job as usual Omar. I was smiling when you said you took the Fuji XT-20 because you have said many times how much you love it.

Totally agree - I just took my X-T5 with my 18-55 and 55-200 (a killer combo) to India a couple of weeks ago. Got some amazing footage (both video and photos) - India has all the colours you could ever want. Bumped into a guy using an X-T20 with the 18-55 and he was also having so much fun. Made me realise I could have just stuck with my X-T4. Also took my GoPro attached to my Brompton fold up bike which I took with me - I have the most amazing memories captured now. Going to stop chasing tech, and am getting more excited about where to book my next trip now instead of eyeing up new tech that won't really make too much difference - wheres the experiences will! Great channel :)

I got an X-T2 this summer as my first Fujifilm camera after you recommended it. So far, I don't regret it at all! Did I feel a bit tempted when the X-T5 came out? Of course, but now I'm planning a one month trip to Japan next fall and I feel like it's a way better use of my money 😁

Thanks! I get so many great ideas from your videos. Much appreciated!

Great post! Phenomenal advice that photographers need to put into practice!👏👏👏

This is definitely they way. Been savoring footage from my travels recently.

I loved my trip to Portugal; the warmth, the people, the geographic diversity. All of them are spectacular. Having said that, there are generally lots of unexplored areas close to home. Bill

Hi Omar, Perfect timing! My wife and I are heading out to Madiera, Portugal next week. The pandemic have kept us away from traveling so we are meeting up with another couple there next week. Keep up the good work I am a constant follower of your work!

Hmmm... One of those videos that make you scratch your head and think. I personally would like to believe that I put most of my gear to good use, but there is always this urge to try new gear. And I have to admit that when I planned a trip (though locally) to another state, I was very relaxed and extremely motivated to go out of bed and shoot at ridiculous hours. I loved that and felt that my battery has been fully recharged for the first time in years. The challenge is that the GAS worm finds its way back again once you're grounded back in reality, and you feel that there is this instant gratification that you talked about...

Oh no last year I was thinking about xt20, found your vids and finally bought it, so now for the last 3 weeks I can't stop dreaming about Portugal vacation, and now this. Thaaanks.

I like your videos very much. You were in my city on your trip to Portugal (Évora). Too bad about the bad weather. Usually it is sunny. Always good to hear someone say to USE the stuff instead of collecting it ;)

i have a crappy old nikon d3300, but i love it, i got it used a couple of years ago and it still amazes me how such an old camera you can get so cheap can take such great photos, and you can get some really cool lenses for really cheap because it can use old vintage lenses as long as your willing to manual focus, most of my lenses dont support auto focus and its just something that i enjoy about using the camera, it may limit me at times or make me miss a shot but its a far better lerning experence because it forces you to think a lot more before pulling the shutter

This was a welcome surprise, as a fan who's planning on moving to Portugal this year. Once I'm there, I hope to be able to travel around Europe by train with little more than my X-E4 and my work laptop.

I did a 7000 mile, 3 and half week trip in the US visiting family, friends and state and national parks. Saw so many beautiful areas. Can’t wait to do it again. Took my Fuji X-T20!

Hey Omar, love that you decided to take that trip to Portugal, our little country with amazing views and even more amazing food and wine, hope you enjoyed Portugal

best photography related video in a while. much more inspirational than an other gear vid. also, the gear you picked is perfect, it would be the same for me with the t2 instead of the t20 for a similar trip

Such a refreshing perspective. The camera industry wants us to believe it's all about the equipment, which they just happened to have for us photographers. And buying into that helps them to be able to go on vacation - instead of you.

Perfect timing Omar, January in the UK is grey wet and quite depressing for me (SAD) . I was on the verge of changing my kit for no good reason other than as you say the instant “hit” of gratification. I will now definitely book a trip with the £2K it was going to cost to change . Thank you Omar 🙏🙏 . Love your upbeat personality, great tonic to watch you . Please keep the videos coming . I shoot Nikon and Fuji , so your content is also very relevant 👍👍

Oh goodness this is exactly the video I need to watch right now! I was considering buying my XT20 a new lens but I think I’ll just make do with the lenses I have right now and should instead plan a trip somewhere that would inspire me to take photos again! Thanks Omar!

I think the answer depends on what you want to do with the camera and what is limiting you. Personally I like to take pictures of people and owned the Sony A7II. However the usage was quite frustrating, I was always struggling to get critical focus to the point it made me so frustrated that I started to loose joy in photography. After buying a nice expensive lens the issue remained and I got even more frustrated. In a last-ditch effort I shelled out good money again, but this time for a used A7RIII. Boom, that was finally the breakthrough. While not perfect it finally gave me enough control over the auto (and manual) focus to bring my joy back. The added light sensitivity helps me as well tremendously since I often photograph in dim light. So yea, while lenses are important, sometimes the body is holding you back as well.

We were going to go during 2020 and COVID happened. So planning later this year. Great video and great choice!! I also love that your brought the older x-t20! You’re singing my song!! I’m a traveling street photographer so love this❤.

Wow that's my kit! I travel with an xt20 (my first ever camera), the 18-55, and the 55-200! I agree the 55-200 actually is quite wonderful when you're traveling if you're willing to lug it around.

keep it up" love the way you entertain us interms of photography with a slice of fun ;) 😊😊😊

You’re becoming one of my favorite photography KZfaqrs! Love this perspective.

Could not agree more, but then I love to travel and to get out of my comfort zone, especially wandering through cities at the crack of dawn capturing iconic locations without the crowds and with great light. If you're intimidated by foregin travel, consider the national parks in your home country or doing a photography workshop. Some are quite expensive, but not all, and they provide an opptorunity to learn from pros, visit incredible locations you might not find on your own, and enjoy the company of other photographers. I've done several in Europe and in the U.S. national parks, and they have all been great. I'm off to Italy in a few weeks, first Rome on my own and then for a workshop during Venice Carnevale. My bucket list includes India, Vietnam, the Dolomites and the Lake District. BTW - I use a Canon 80d with a Canon 15-85 and 10-18. But with my old Canon 60d as a backup body my kit is too heavy and I'll probably be switching to a Fjui XT-5 with the 16-80 and one longer zoom before my next trip. I won't check baggage and I need to lighten my load with the airline carry-on weight limits.

Absolutely brilliant video🤩👍! Omar, you are so damn right!!! Personally I think it’s one of the best things one can do, to go out to a place you don‘t know, being aware of all those new impressions - and enjoy the gear you already have. That‘s where those nice shots come from that one likes to look at for the rest of the life. In March I will travel Japan for the first time since 2019 - and I can‘t wait to get onto that airplane that will take me there from Europe😃✌️! By the way, last October I, too, went on a little trip to Portugal. I stayed in Porto and roamed the city with my camera, had lots of Pastel de Nata (they are sooooo delicious) and it was a wonderful experience. Travel and photography is a match made in heaven😉👋!

Hey Omar, I just discovered your channel and I love it. Thanks for doing what you do. That is all :)

We’ve been looking at going to Portugal, and I’d love to know where you went. Absolutely beautiful!

Best intro EVER !!! :) The music was so good I had to listen to it on my stereo. Great video Omar !

True, man. So true.

Thanks for choosing my country to visit. Hope to see more in the next videos.

Thank you Omar for these videos. They really cheer me up:) and that's some great advice. I would probably go to Spain or Portugal to explore the small villages.

Thanks Omar Good video my thoughts exactly, that’s why I bought a used Fujix100v to try travel photography and everything else the camera can do home and abroad.

Hola Omar! Very awesome video. I like your idea of traveling & photos. You inspire me also. Happy New Year. Thank you so much..

Some really great shots in there Omar! I went to Iceland last year with my family. I’d go back there (without them!) and focus much more on photography.

So true Omar! I spent 3 weeks in beautiful Poland with my EM1 mkii for less than an OM1 body. That trip was in September and I am still high on it. I know for sure I would not have been still that high on the new camera.

I have sold both of those lenses and wish I hadn't. Glad I still have the XT20 though! Thank you Omar, for another great video and an especially important message.

Going to Portugal in March. Thanks to you, I'll be bringing the 55-200!

Suddenly this channel had upgraded itself without show new equipment. Congratulations!

Loved to see your photography in Lisboa/Sintra, Portugal , where you went. Porto also has great architecture, the famed town photo from across the bridge, close to Braga another great town and also to Gerês for a natural park. ATB

You are spot on here. I got the XT20 when I felt that my heavy Nikon FF gear slowed me down (physically but also mentally) when traveling or trying to capture a scene. And, on one of the first trips with the XT20 (with the 18-55 and 10-24 in the bag) I took the photo that will now be on the cover of a book. It's the image that counts because who frames their resolution test charts?

Can't believe you were here and I didn't get to meet you in person... I would have loved it. Next trip consider gathering with your fans for a even greater experience!

I absolutely agree with you. Instead of upgrading my A7sii to the a7siii, I travelled last week to finland hunting the norhern lights. And guess what, the „old“ S7ii nailed it. I could see a magical light show AND got great pictures and videos. I‘m absolutely happy with that desicion

Planning on two months in Japan and Taiwan this summer. On previous trips I took nothing but the Ricoh GR. It's so lightweight and minimal and unobtrusive, but I did sometimes miss having a longer lens, so this time I'm thinking Fuji with two primes: 18 and 33 or 56 (I don't own any zooms).

Coming back from a 2 weeks trip to Japan last month, made me want to get into Photography. I received my very first Fuji XE4 yesterday. I plan to go back to Japan towards the end of this year.

Nice video! I'm going the whole month of March to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand & Australia, instead of getting new lenses. Looking forward to it.

Great video Omar, as always. I totally agree that travelling somewhere new inspires us to take better photographs. I also like cameras but always buy used. Just because a camera is old, does not make it a bad camera. I have a Fuji XE1 body that cost me £80 GBP which I love using with a Fuji 35 1.4. I also shoot with a Nikon D500 for sport and wildlife with a selection of used lenses. I recently bought a mint condition Nikon D40X which cost £56 GBP, it’s my cheap go anywhere walk about that I use with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle. It’s not how much you pay for a camera, it’s how and where you use it!😊

That is live the live you have been given... Enjoy... Eat,Taste, Rest... Greetings from San Juan Puerto Rico...
