How do you ensure that your gear doesn't get in your way when you travel?

@robertluxamafreethinker 3 күн бұрын

I think the Fujifilm XS20, for someone who plans to stay with APS-C and doesn't think to move on to full frame soon, is a really great choice. You can build a great package over time, with some good lenses like: the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8, the Suiri Sniper 16mm f1.2, the Viltrox 27mm f1.2, the Fuji 56mm f1.2 and the Suiri Sniper 75mm f1.2, and you're ready to create some really good film projects

I already have a Viltrox 13mm F1.4 and a Fujinon 18-55mm. (I also have a Fujinon 70-300mm lens) The other day I ordered a new Fujifilm X-S20 with kit 15-45, I'm waiting for a package. I bought it precisely because of its small compact size. I'm currently shooting with my old X-T4, which I think is a pretty good camera + Dji Osmo Pocket 3 Combo.

Sometimes I visit a place with the primary purpose of taking photos. There I set my priority to take photos. every trip, every day is different. As a traveller I try not to give in to the psychological pressure of ‘take breath taking photos or your trip is ruined’ motto.

But I'd love to have the Fuji for travel as well because I'm moving to Japan next year but I have seen horror AF examples of the camera losing focus in the most WTF moments that are hard to believe from a camera of that price point. Maybe it's better with latest firmware?

Hey Pascal, wie gehts wie stehts? sag mal... ich hab mir heute die X S20 geholt, weil ich den formfaktor extrem feier und mir meine XH2s zum reisen und für manche Unternehmung einfach zu groß ist. Jetzt habe ich angefangen die custom settings einzustellen und da ist mir ein Bug aufgefallen, der mich extrem nervt... C1 hab ich 4k 25fps mit 50 ss eingestellt und C2 4k 50fps 100ss.. wenn ich die cam an hab und zwischen den Settings wechsel, springt der shutterspeed immer auf die Anzahl der fps heisst bei C2 hab ich dann 50fps und 50 ss und über das belegte Rad kann ich das nicht direkt aendern.. es ist dann wie blockiert. wenn ich Customs settings wechsel wenn die kamera aus ist, ist das alles kein problem.. es nervt ein wenig, da es das schnelle wechseln verlangsamt... ist das bei dir auch so? PS: vom overheaten hab ich schon gehört, aber soweit hies das das es nicht so schlimm sei.. aber allein beim settings bearbeiten bekomme ich schon warnungen.. obwohl ichs auf hoch gesetzt hab... wie sieht da deine erfahrung aus? let me know, freu mich von dir zu hören! lg sam

Great video as always, thank you. It's amazing how full frame evolved recently, a ZV-E1 or A7CII with a 20-70 f/4 is a lot smaller and lighter than anything equivalent from APS-C. You would need a 13-45mm f/2.7 lens on APS-C to match the depth of field, which in practice means multiple lenses like in your example here - full frame will also perform a lot better in low light. You can of course get fantastic results with APS-C but it's becoming a harder sell when you can get faster lenses, smaller/lighter package and better results from full frame (UK prices): - Sony ZV-E1 (or A7CII) - £1.56k + £160 (28-60 kit lens) + £450 (Tamron 17-28) + £315 (Tamron 70-300) = £2,485 - Fujifilm X-S20 - £1.02k + £252 (18-55 kit lens) + £800 (Tamron 11-20) + £409 (Fuji 55-200) = £2,481

@@wesleychapman9001 Recent Sony cameras like ZV-E1 and A7C II have user LUTs, so you can add in your own "film simulations" and access them with a swipe.

Mate, its amazing how what you said about lightness of FF set ups is completely UNTRUE. So, comparing weight of mentioned ff cameras with lens to crop fujifilm xs-20 with lens used in the video we have (in kg): Sony A7CII + Sony 20-70 f/4 = 1.07 Sony ZV-E1 + Sony 20-70 f/4 = 0.82 Fujifilm X-S20 + Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 = 0.65 Not to mention sony colour science and zero fun using these. Yep, for videography its usable with slog and luts, but its just mehhh for photography. To each its own

@DigiDriftZone 5 ай бұрын

@@andriibudim6996 20-70mm is equivalent to 13-46mm f/2.7 on APS-C, find me a similar lens on APS-C, I'll wait :) -- but all joking aside, once you find equivalent lenses, full frame is often lighter, look at that Fuji 55-200mm, compare it to the Tamron 70-300 on full frame, the FF is much lighter. Take the kit lenses of 28-60 on FF vs 18-55 on Fuji (or that Sigma), full frame is much lighter. I recorded a video about this on my channel giving many examples of comparable lighter/smaller/cheaper full frame alternatives to APS-C if you're interested :) Sony colour science has improved drastically in the past year or so and they shoot RAW, so you can apply any Fuji look you want in post, I'll grant you being able to have an already stylised look straight out of camera is important for some. So let's see : ZV-E1 + Sony 28-60mm = 649g X-S20 + Sigma 18-50mm = 776g Thanks for playing.

ZV-E1 body starts at 2070 GBP in the UK today. Tamron 70-300 is nowhere near Fuji 55-200 in terms of picture quality, has OIS. Same as 18-55 standard kit zoom. Compare the real files and not specs.

Hi Pascal, ich finde ja, Du hast Dich zu einem der besten deutschen Kamera/Video Influenzern entwickelt. So, wie auch ich ,benutzt Du ja auch die XH2S. Du hast schon einige mal erwähnt, Du stehst nicht so auf Grain...aber wie sieht das mit anamorphen Objektiven aus? Eigentlich stehe ich persönlich total auf den Look, aber es kommt drauf an. Die neue Serie "Shogun" z.B. benutzt anamorphe Objektive, da wird einem teilweise sogar schlecht. Die Sirui Objektive allerdings(Venus, Saturn) sahen bei anderen KZfaqrn ziemlich cinematisch aus. Die haben allerdings alle Sony Vollformat Kameras im Einsatz. So, nachdem ich schon zuviel gesülzt habe...interessiert Dich das Thema überhaupt und können wir da in Zukunft was von Dir erwarten? Lieben Gruß Claus

Danke Claus 👍🏻 Ich mag den Anamorphic Look sehr und würde Ansicht gerne mehr damit machen. Allerdings gibt es mit solchen Objektiven halt nie Autofocus und da ich fast immer alleine filme, macht es das unnötig kompliziert.

I think the Sony APSC is just not interesting, I feel nothing looking at it. Fuji has the special look, both the photos but also the camera and small lenses itself. Only a small full frame like the A7C can rival it but then again that misses features like 4K60 and the A7CII costs €2k, so also no option. If there was a small, light full frame Sony with the hybrid feature set for under €1.5k with small fast lenses, then we'd have a case for Sony, but otherwise I don't see it, especially not for hobby shooters. Professionals have other priorities anyway, they probably rather walk around with a 1kg Canon uggle over a nice little Fuji, but as a travel or street hobby photographer your friends would get scared if you bring such a clunky Canon beast lol
