Welcome to the official London Camera Exchange RU-vid Channel where we bring you the last releases from your favourite manufacturers!
We can trace our origins back to the 1950's where our founders acquired premises in Guildford's Tunsgate from which they operated a photography studio. The owners of Tunsgate Studios soon noticed that their customers were very interested in the equipment used in the studio and even went so far as to sell some of their old equipment. When customers started to offer other cameras in part exchange for newer or more expensive models the business, as it exists today was born.
To this day the Guildford branch still occupies the same premises as the original Tunsgate Studios but the business has grown to include a total of 26 shops spread throughout England, from Plymouth in the South West to Newcastle in the North.
Not a newly developed sensor, it's the same IMX461 as every 102MP *medium* format camera. Definitely hurts credibility when all you do is parrot Fujifilm's disingenuous marketing points.
The camera is a great travel camera or as a every day shooter with a host of primes and zoom lenses. This camera will not replace any of my full frame cameras, that being said their are many places where a full frame is not necessary and the compact size makes it easy to carry to places where a large camera is not the best option.
Great review -- I like how your commentary was accompanied by plenty of photos and videos from the camera itself. I'm buying one, and you've gained a subscriber!
There are many reviews that show the GFX camera paired with f/1.7 prime lens producing stellar low light results with superb background separation. If you can afford the GFX fast prime lenses, then by all means go for it. But you can get similar results after post-processing, with a Sony high res camera and fast prime lenses, for nearly half the price. DXO Photolab is my favorite software for cleaning up high ISO images.
The sharpness of your photos here is certainly a little more impressive than Duade Paton's at a tern colony, I dare say because he was using a 1.4 extender with it. So you will need stalking skills to benefit from that extra resolution, it seems...that's why I like the idea of videoscoping with a Swarovski ATX 85mm+Canon R5 - to avoid stalking!
Absolutely, the technology in cameras today is truly impressive and both full-frame and medium format have their place, they just may not suit everyones needs. Thanks for watching.
For most applications these new medium format cameras are pointless. Medium format was necessary in the old days for the best quality due to the size of the negatives, but that is no longer the case in the digital age.
Seems pretty pointless. The size and weight is not much less than the X-T5. The EVF is pretty terrible. The battery is way worse. You only have one SD card. The shooting speed is less. It is a lot harder to switch between Movie and Video. You lose the D-PAD - and the list goes on. In the UK - the difference is 250 - so I would just wait a bit. This is a weird value proposition.
Thanks for watching and all vaild points. For some users the X-T5 might be more than they require for their style of shooting so it's pretty great to have the X-T50 as a possible option which still allows you to shoot using Fujifilm's 40.2MP High Res Sensor and X-Processor 5. The movie switch I personal missed, but you can set the small custom button on top to start/stop recording, it is located on the top panel, far right, just by the on/off switch.
So I guess all cameras that are smaller, have less resolution, are slower and also heavier are pointless then. Not everyone needs a powerhouse, and if you do, maybe you need a Hasselblad or similar and the X-T5 is a toy. All is relative to what you are using it for. Some may love the styling more, or the film simulation knob or just can't afford the more expensive camera. Seems like the x-t5 suits you better. I would not get that over the x-t50 tho. I do not need two sd card slots and I do not like the styling as much as the 50. There are loads of different cameras, phones and cars just to please as many peoples needs and desires as possible. Just a thought. 👍🏻
@@ChristianEriksson83 Indeed the attitude of some that you should just get the X-T5 is odd. Comments under every X-T50 video are the same, oh it is only "this" much bigger and "this" much heavier etc. I would never buy the X-T5 as it feels more bulky in my hand, it defeats the point of that I want. What is it that people don't understand about this very simple point?
Thanks for watching and yes you can set the small custom button on top to start/stop recording, it is located on the top panel, far right, just by the on/off switch.
Thanks for watching and yes you are correct, the camera isn't weather-sealed, so it's best to be careful when using it outdoors. Fortunately, on the day we got to try it out, there was only a small amount of rain. The most challenging situation was when we were photographing the rhinos and there was some shelter from the trees, but the camera still got rained on. Despite that, it continued to perform perfectly.
Been waiting nearly a year for this! And typically just bought something expensive (not camera related), which makes it very hard to push the preorder button. Arggghhh Fujifilm, why! Off to see what I can do - Thanks for the video, it was spot on.
Thanks for watching and ahh it's always annoying when that happens. I hope you're having as fun with your other expensive purchase as we did with the new kit :)
I’ve had mine for a couple months. I realize it’s expensive, but it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys. A 1200mm angle of view and excellent stabilization make it a great lens.
A common problem with some EL-5 is battery draining on its own while in storage. My battery level went from nearly 100% to totally dead overnight. Flash was off but battery drained. Some users got it fixed by Canon replacing the battery box. Will there be a recall to fix this issue? It's very annoying to lose battery power for no reason. Only workaround is to remove battery when not in use. Canon, please do something about this.
I’ll never buy L glass, but it might see my M lenses. On the other hand, my M10m and M10r bodies do fine, and my R5 does a great job with the 7 Zeiss primes I use on that.
For me the best of TG7 is the macro mode, which is quite good, and also that is a though subaquatic camera. The rest, for me, TG7 doesnt have anything optically better than any other decent compact camera.
Almost same body weight than that of Lumix S5 full frame. How could we say it's lightweight? That's the only drawback for me. I think M43 bodies should stay lightweight all the way.
Are the file sizes significantly larger than on say the Sony A7iii or A6400? Or alternatively, are the 100mp video files significantly larger than a 24mp full frame/apsc camera?
Nice post thank u. I’m wildflower photographer mostly low to ground orchids etc. I mostly shoot in portrait mode with camera tilted on its side. Not sure if monitor can articulate when using vertical portrait mode on mini tripod? Also I focus bracket manually using AF touchscreen. Not sure if monitors have this feature or would I still have to use rear screen? Which atomos for outdoor stills? Thx
I got one, swapped out my previous Canon EOS M6 mkii with 6 lenses. Small camera but bulky with all the lenses in a backpack on a motorcycle. This one is better in that case and the quality of pictures aren’t to bad either.
A really excellent video Oliver. Obviously; the photography is flawless, but your delivery is so good too. I'm doing a talk next month (to a very knowledgeable audience) and have got some great guidance! Hopefully our path will cross again one day ...
