This is where I bought my Fujifilm X-A5*:
Fujifilm X-A5 on MPB (DE): prf.hn/l/EJAbkVQ
Fujifilm X-A5 on MPB (US): prf.hn/l/0eQ4Znl
Fujifilm X-A5 on MPB (UK): prf.hn/l/LAnEMYd
Fujifilm X-A5 on MPB (FR): prf.hn/l/EJy3gLN
Fujifilm X-A5 on MPB (EU): prf.hn/l/ng8Y1b4
In the last two years, Fujifilm have released the Fujifilm X-H2, the Fujifilm X-H2s, the Fujifilm X-T5, and the Fujifilm X-S20, all of which cost over $1300. Additionally, Fujifilm's X-Trans 4 cameras have also gotten more expensive, like the Fujifilm X100V and the Fujifilm X-E4. Just a couple of years ago, Fujifilm had an entire line of budget cameras called the X-A line. In this video I review the Fujifilm X-A5 for street photography, and to find out of it's the best budget fujifilm camera. The X-A5 is the predecessor to the X-A7 and is closely related to the X-T100.

Pro tip regarding SD cards. Keep one tucked away in your wallet at all times. 99.999% of the time you'll never need it, but having one can save your day.

I use one of those super small wallets that only holds cards 💀 but yeah I really should have a backup on me

@q5sys 6 месяцев назад

@@futc.photography I have a super small wallet as well (only holds 4 cards), but its a leather one and has a pouch for a spare key... I use it for a spare SD card. haha You seem to wear hats quite a bit, you might be able to find a spot to tuck one under the brim. 🤣

People are often forgetting, if you have fixed lens attacked to such viewfinder-less camera, you can attach appropriate optical viewfinder, say from Voigtländer, or Leica (too expensive but still), or some old russian one, do necessary settings that AF can take over, and off you go...

@martinphilipps8678 6 месяцев назад

I just got my x-a5 today as second camera next to my x-t5 I am amazed how good the high iso performance is. In capture one the high iso files look much better than the x-t5 files. Only the color noise is bad. Colors are just as good as on my x-t5.

@petercardow2083 6 месяцев назад

Great channel !, love the Fuji content. Keep up the the Fuji photgraphy. It`s funny, I just bought a X-A1 black that I´m trying to find an original grip for... then I will make it my "Noir" camera, pure black&white photo camera as a winter project 🙂

I'm using a used X-pro 1.(bought for 160 euros as "broken" on Ebay from Germany, I payed 90 euros to repair it @ Photo Ciné réparations in France (including shipping) and I use it with the Fujinon 18mm F/2,4, it's a lovely combo with Leica sensations for snaps. Greetings from Brussels. :)

@likoss777 6 месяцев назад

Oh. Such a great channel. Definitely a sub. Bought recently an XM-1 to start with, with a kit, added 35, f/1.4 from TTartisan. Nice combo for 300$. And willing to upgrade to XS-10 maybe in future. Quite an upgrade from iPhone photography, if you might call it that way. Finally no artificial over sharpening on every damn picture. And real bokeh and DOF😅

@futc.photography 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Yes, making that jump from an iPhone to a bigger sensor and proper lenses makes a huge difference!!

@potchinyan95 4 месяца назад

I agree with you that the Budget Fujis gets overlooked, same thing applies for the X-T200 that I use, as I find it better than the X-A2 that I've owned before or any X-A line as it has EVF, and is useful especially with my Experience of bad ribbon cables on the X-A line which can make the camera useless because it solely relies on the LCD display to compose photos.

@Clodrock 6 месяцев назад

Currently shooting with and X-H2 for professional shooting and my X-T30 is my fun/travel camera. I still have my X-M1 I bought back in 2013 with the same X-Trans sensor as the X-E1/X-Pro1 and shoot with this body and the 35 1.4 occasionally. Still impressed by the jpeg images and the plastic body has held up well over the years.

Yeah, I’ve tested both the X-E1 and X-Pro1 and that sensor is great!

Enjoy your content as always. If I may ask a technical question, did you anything special with the exposure metering modes for the contrasty tunnel shots? I never quite know how to use these.

@futc.photography 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! No I didn’t do anything with the metering modes. If the exposure doesn’t look the way I want it, I’ll just use the exposure compensation dial :)

07:38 Wenn du das schwarze Rädchen unter dem Auslöser drückst zoomt das Bild hinein.du kannst dann noch weiter einzoomen wenn du das Rädchen drehst oder mittels nochmaligen drücken wieder auszoomen. Wenn Focus peaking noch dazu eingestellt wird solltest du keine Probleme mehr mit scharf stellen haben.

@futc.photography 6 месяцев назад

Ja das habe ich ja auch erwähnt im video, das bringt aber nur was wenn man im manuellen Fokus ist, wenn ich die Kamera in AF-S habe passiert nichts wenn ich das Rädchen drücke.

Great photos! This is basically a different version of the X-T100 isn’t it? Very similar specs, same sensor, released very close to each other. I have the X-T100 and I use it all the time for amateur product photography. I personally LOVE that it doesn’t have an x-trans sensor. I think bayer is better.

@futc.photography 6 месяцев назад

Yes I believe the X-T100 is based on the X-A5, the image quality really is surprisingly good out of this sensor!

@potchinyan95 4 месяца назад

I have X-T200 and I find it as a good upgrade to my old X-A2 because it has EVF. I was thinking of getting an older Fuji with X-Trans Sensor but the resale price is expensive nowadays for the old X-Trans ones.

@TechWithBruno 5 месяцев назад

Fujifilm prices are crazy rn. I now only have the X-T4 because I sold my X-E1, X100T and even the XQ2 for MORE that I paid for it a couple of years ago. I wanted to convince my gf (or even just give it to her) to get a cheap fuji (as she still rocks a Canon 100D), but it's pretty much impossible these days. I did look into the X-A / X-M .. but the viewfinder ... 😪😅

Fuji really do need a budget camera, I have just ordered the X-T30 II and that is nearly £800 for body only, add a lense even used your are over £900 even with an XC lense. They need a budget camera at around £300- £350, using the old X-T1 sensor would make it great value that is even today far better than most budget options by other manufacturers. This would provide a gateway into the fuji system for the budget conscious, unsure about the Fuji system.

@michaelbell75 4 месяца назад

Well, it's forgotten because it doesnt use an X-Trans sensor, which is what gives Fuji photos their unique look. A Fuji with a Bayer sensor is just like any Canon, Sony or Nikon, zero reason to overpay for one just because it says Fuji on it. X-Trans are the only Fuji cameras worth buying IMO.

Fuji budget cameras? Look at older bodies. XTxx are small, lightweight, and have ~75% of the XTx. The XS10 is really the XT40. It has IBIS and some nice video specs. Fuji prices are getting insane. Not only the X100 bodies are selling at a premium. I’m not paying a premium for a used body. For me, there is always M43 bodies and lenses. Mask On Nurse Marty(Ret)
