I rarely take photos when doing anything including vacationing. In my opinion, they’re pointless when I can shoot high-quality 4K video at 60 FPS and grab all the photos I want later from the video. When I shoot video, I keep that in mind the way I shoot. Photos you don’t have any options other than looking at a slideshow. If you want to actually relive the moments you need video for that. Photos are just a snapshot and looking back years or decades later you forget most things as far as details go. Video you don’t have to worry about that. There are so many vacations I took years ago when video wasn’t a priority or even a mainstream thing I would kill for to have video of to relive those vacations. I do have photos, but they don’t help much with all the details. Most of those memories are faded, unfortunately

As you concluded, photos add a lot more nostalgia and allow you to fill in the blanks. I think a similar analogy is a book vs. movie. Books tend to draw you in and force you into a more active role while we have a higher tendency to be a passive audience member in movies.

Yup. Definitely agree. Video takes me completely out of the moment. I’m more focused on the camera and the nd filters and the mic and blah blah blah. But taking photos is quick and easy. Also I’m able to return to a memory without video. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who can return to a moment and remember everything with just a simple picture.

I think I rather take like 50-50. I'm on a two month trip in Spain (I'm Canadian) and took a lot of videos. A lot of B roll. In two months, I've visited a lot of places and I will make multiple videos (Like chapiters). But don't get me wrong! I still love to take pictures in my trip. Like you said, the moments pull us back into our memories. and it's much more easier to show some moments on a phone than a video, that's for shure. Great vids you make dude! Thanks (by the way, I went to Maui iland myself last september and took a lot of videos under water with turtles and the colorful fishes! (With a DJI Action 4). See you next time! 😃

Absolutely. I've been to Korea twice now with my family. The first time I felt like an idiot capturing video AND photo, and while we have a nice video to watch, it doesn't get nearly close to the amount of love the photos do. On our second trip I only took photos, which meant that I could: a) capture even more photos, b) not be distracted by "would this be a good video?" and c) enjoy overall moments more. And in the end the photo book I gave my parents and sister is looked at w-a-y more than any video would be.

I totally agree with 90-10! And I agree with ALL your accessibility comments. However I create a video of the photos and the videos when I get home. I have them cued up on our Apple TV and at least once a month we watch one. You’re young, but as you get older, I can GUARANTEE this quote during a viewing “I didn’t remember that!” We love reliving our trips together.

I think it's personal preference. I used to take only photo back in the day, (wasn't really much a choice anyway unless you were using a camcorder lol) until decent point and shoot cameras with video came out. Then I was shooting mostly video ever since. I think it captures the memories better. It brings you into the experience vicariously. Especially for those who weren't there. And there's usually not a missed moment because the video (at least in my situation) is usually always recording. Plus it's boring to make a bunch of slideshows just to show all the photos I took. All of the trips I went on in the 2000s, were all photo. It's like 200+ photos of each trip, and very few videos. (the video quality sucked in those days anyway lol) But it lacks the feeling and experience of actually being there, and hearing the environment. There's just no good way to share a ton of photographs. No one wants to sit and watch a slideshow of a bunch of photos. You need at least a good video to go along with it. So I shoot hybrid 90 video/10 photo. Then I just add the photos into the video like you did with this video. For me it works better that way. But again it all depends on what you're doing, and personal preference. I'm someone that likes the capture EVERYTHING because I have a bad memory and don't usually remember much. So my goal is creating visual memories of everything I do.

That is something that I've been looking at a lot lately is the super high resolution video cameras.

That might be a solid experiment to do!

I rather than shooting videos than photos. I can always go to my videos and grab a freeze frame for my photos. I shot all my videos in 4K. I usually go to the video and grab a frame, it is not highest resolution but good enough to print 4x6. You can sit down and watch the old videos, you can see and hear the laugh, smiles, their voices. How they moves and walked.

Not so much photo’s. Do not give up taking video’s during family trips or at home, you will regret it. Trust me on this.

This is perfect. I got where you’re at about 8 months ago when I switched to a Fuji as well (XT-30II). Still have the rest of my video gear, but I carry less and less of it around, especially on vacation. I even only bring the 27mm pancake lens with me on the Fuji unless I know I’m going to need the 16mm wide or 50mm prime for something specific. Less time switching out and more time enjoying the sites!

the polar pro helix maglock system changed so much about how i use my camera. [it also saved my 70-200 when it dropped off my camera strap from hip height to the ground]. So easy to pop my filter on/off or change filters. So good. Tip #4... move images off your phone into the photo repository the rest of your travel images end up in so you can cull them all together. Often my iphone pics feel sequestered away from everything else I'm doing.

Never really thought of the versus. I have to admit, when I went to Greece, having a video camera was better than still shot though. I think it depends where you are going and what you are doing. The Ancient Theatre in Greece, a still shot would not capture the phenomenon of being able to whisper in the centre and being able to hear it at the top of the stadium like it was said on a microphone. So, I think it depends on what exactly your goal is. However, if it’s just family you are focused on…then I can see your view.

Pictures hands down! Also shooting is JPEG is just easier because I don't have time for post processing RAW. Any photos that are blurry or outright bad, just delete and move on. Short videos are great for vacations but wouldn't invest a ton into it. Easier for people to quickly look through pictures than to sit through a long video

I agree to an extent but having Emby on my Mac has been a game changer for me. I create videos and post them on my Emby server so that we can easily watch them whenever we want. In addition, both of my kids (who no longer live at home,) have access to the server as well and they can watch them anytime they want also. I do need to get back to taking more photos for sure, but I love making videos and we watch them pretty frequently. Great video as always.

We look at our wedding video highlights (~90 secs) a lot more than our wedding photos as I feel it captures the entire event more. I think that's the big thing... the output video length. Your previous video focus was pre-planning and recording a lot of shots that you are planning to cut and edit together into a longer 5-10 minutes, video. When I do video, I'm doing the type of videos that you are still doing in the 90/10 split of effort/focus. I'm talking 10-30 second clips of my kids in motion doing something interesting often with basically zero editing aside from the occasionally trimming of the ends. Sometimes action scenes makes a good photo as well... but often they are moving around so much their face is obscured, the lighting is margin (bad amount or direction) or the angle isn't great to capture them in frozen motion to express the vibe of the moment (as a wedding photography you are probably better than the average person of getting that "decisive moment"). Or the moment is something they are doing or saying a word game, a song, an impersonation, etc... that isn't captured in a photo. Actually, you comment about JPEG vs RAW is a bigger theme of not spending too much time focusing on making polished videos, or perfect post-processed exposure/color balanced photos for memories and be in the moment more on your vacations.

Would it also be a case of one thinking more about a photo? A video you watch and you dont think about it? A photo you look at and you think what is in the photo? What is the emotion in the photo etc? For a photo you have to fill in some parts of what is happening, in a video you don't because you see it?

As a hobby photographer, and want to be travel videographer…. I find I prioritize pictures over videos. ALWAYS! I feel like I can’t grab a shot I want from video. Or I’ll miss “the shot”. 😅 Plus, people take time to look at pics; they don’t always take time to watch a video, and if they do, slideshow usually does fine for a travel video. I watch KZfaq for informational purposes, not for necessarily entertainment purposes. But there is a lot I wish I had videos of. It’s always trying to make a judgement call on that decision. I’m not even sure where our wedding video is 🥴😂

Point being, photos are great for the here and now, but the videos are timeless and more precious as time goes on.

Ephemeral memories are fun for sharing things don't need to be referenced later... and proper photos are incredible for capturing moments... but you never know when you're recording for the last time with a loved one. You can make photos from a video, but it doesn't (naturally) work the other way around. We may remember voices, but hearing them hits a very special spot that photos can't fulfill I think they all serve a purpose, do all the things -- you just might choose to display them in unique places for their purpose.

You bring up a great point about accessibility. The fact that we don't have an app that can easily (and efficiently) allow us to review stills and video in the SAME app is ridiculous in 2024. Yes, you can view videos in LR, but if it's anything more than HD, good luck - it's gonna crash. It's so frustrating to have to organize them separately. As for which is better - I think you still need both. We haven't looked at our wedding photos in over 20 years. But we watch our cheezy hour long video every year on our anniversary and laugh at all the shenanigans. While photos are certainly more convenient, nothing beats video for remembering the past.

I think it's very subjective. To me a video is far more nostalgic than a photo. Instead of a single moment you get a slice of time, audio and all. I'd much rather have a clip of my kids' birth than a hundred photos. I got married in early 2000s and regret hiring an amateur to do our video. Our wedding album is gathering dust on the bottom of a drawer, while we re-watch the video every year, no matter how cringy it is. I get asked to shoot video for my youngest son's school events all the time, whereas they don't care much about photos.

I was interested in this camera, but after a bit of research I found quite a few gotchas that stopped me from getting one: 

Outdated lens with loud/slow focusing (audible if recording video), cannot resolve 40MP wide open, 35mm f/3 FF equivalent so no selfies or landscape or wildlife, a bit tight indoors, limited background separation in full body or even portrait, lower dynamic range than an iPhone 15Pro (tested by CINED), poor-ish low light performance, noisy sensor, no flip screen, poor battery life so you have to buy/bring spares (and potentially remove the tripod plate to swap each time), not great for videography (massive crop in 4k60 or 6.2k, awful rolling shutter, no 3.5mm mic input, ports block grip, drop in dynamic range in higher resolutions), subpar autofocus (improved but far from Sony/Canon), slow performance with film simulations, low resolution hybrid evf, no lens hood / ability to add filters / weather sealing / grip without additional costs, etc, etc. It’s not for me but it is a very pretty camera :) - I had an X-T3 and X-S20 which I loved, but since trying Sony full frame, there's no going back, the jump in quality, usability, convenience is immense.

Intrreesting... I think I agree? But in a different way. Story short, last xmas I took video, and the took the pics out of it, cause it was easier. I havent seen the video, but pull like 20 good pics. So yeah, it works 😅 so cool that we are gonna have like 5 more new videos 😅

What is your ideas on taking photos and then making slide shows out of them with transitions and music, Instead of focusing on videos? Slides shows not as good as video, but it gives you the chance to focus on just taking photos, but, also allows you to create a "presentation" of them in a video like format, say like on you tube. There are very nice simple to use slide maker programs, which would be tons of less time than editing video content.

I used to shoot on point to shoot camera than change over to go pro hero 456789 and Dji because it was a hype and I tend to get lazier as get older because I need a lot of time cut and editing my video and I rarely watch it , and now I'm back to apsc camera recently in Japan and shot over 3000images and I keep looking at my picture once a while , and yet I have only 10% of my video in Japan only

I've been trying to get more into video since I got my a7 IV...almost 2 years ago, now. but with video you have to have a plan. how are you going to tell the story. are you vlogging? just B roll? both? or do you just film EVERYTHING? it is so much more work. and, to me, that's not how I want to spend a vacation, or quality time away from my job. that said, I just got a used RX100 VII and I'm taking it on a Mediterranean cruise, in June. I'm going to TRY and get some video clips that will be worthy of a story. wish me luck!!

I think on trips, the rule is SHOOT EVERYTHING. Which then means that you come home with hours and hours of footage that gets cut into a 10-15 minute video and so many amazing moments are lost on the editing room floor

Disagree. I love video of vacations. When we travel, I shoot video with various cameras, and my wife shoots photos. The problem that KZfaqrs have is that they try to make cinematic videos. They're cool and artsy, but not fun to watch. I set my videos to pop music and emphasize the fun. For instance, I used George Ezra's Shotgun for Mount Haleakala. By using fun music it makes the videos so much more fun to watch. My wife and I watch them on the treadmill. The other upside is that when you hear the song, it makes you think of the vacation. Every time we hear Kokomo, we think of our vacation in the Keys.

I just want to say… PHOTOS!… it’s a moment frozen in time… and a memory frozen in time!… if travelling, just a couple of SHORT location videos are good as well, but primarily photos. Photos can capture anyones (who looks at those photos) imagination and photos tend to have MORE feelings to them.

As someone who has ben taking family (and some professional) photos and video for about 40 years, I disagree. Videos will be treasured much longer. I recently put about 80 TB of video on an Emby server on my personal NAS and shared with my kids and grandkids. They love the old videos so much. There is nothing like hearing the voice of you now 35 year old daughter when she was a toddler. Seeing the interactions between the kids brings me back way more than photos can. Photos tell the story the photographer wants to tell while video (especially unedited) tells the whole story.

@@DavidManningvlog I find the Fujifilm XT-5 to be a superior choice and value over the X100VI mainly because of a couple reasons. The XT-5's Fujifilm X lens mount offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing me to experiment with a wide array of relatively small interchangeable lenses to suit different photography styles, locations and subjects. This versatility empowers me to explore various creative possibilities, from wide-angle landscapes to close-up portraits. Secondly, The XT-5 and X100VI differ in size and weight, but not by much. The XT-5 is slightly larger and heavier, measuring 130 x 91 x 64 mm and weighing 607 g. In contrast, the X100VI comes in at 128 x 74 x 53 mm and weighing 521 g. These small differences make the XT-5 more versatile but only slightly less portable than the X100VI (until you slap on a XF 50mm f1.0 lens) I think it’s very easy to get tired of any camera with a permanent fixed focal length even if it’s your favorite focal length. But despite my opinion I do understand the appeal for the X100VI's compactness and simplicity still holds great appeal for many, particularly for those seeking a portable and straightforward camera experience. Its streamlined design and fixed lens may cater to photographers who prioritize convenience and ease of use over more advanced features and lens selection.
