Andy, you just saved me from over an entire year of paralysis of analysis! UGH! I watched literally hundreds (if not thousands) of videos on Sony, Nikon, Canon, Leica, and FUJI. I've scrolled through hundreds of different cameras with different features. When I finally decided that FUJI was definitely the route I wanted to go, I was THEN crippled by which one!!! X-T3? But the X-T4 will be out! Do I "really" plan to shoot professionally? What will its specs be?!?! Keep it simple with an X-100F? The V is on the way! X-H1? Yes! No wait, it vanished! Will there be an X-H2...yes, no, yes, no. GOOD GRIEF! For everything I plan to shoot, the X-T30 wins, hands-down....especially knowing that it's literally identical to the image quality of the X-T3 without all the bells and whistles that I could care less about. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And there was much rejoicing. :D
Thanks so much for the comment and really glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. The XT30 is a fantastic camera, I'm sure you'll be really happy with it.
Me too! Ive watched camera review vids for the past two weeks! I went from being close to buying the the canon M50 then to M6mk2, but now ive found some great Fuji cams!
Michael, do you like your xt30? Im on the fence about what to get. Canon EOS RP or a fuji. I just want stunning pictures that are easy to capture. Im starting a small scale charity-donating printing service and want to print my own photos as well. Photos of anything, flowers, landscape, portrait etc. Will the xt30 be the route of no regrets? Or should i consider the canon
@@cbrmike69 I’m literally choosing between the same cameras but I already own canon gear , but I’m on a budget as well, so I’ll have to sell my canon gear to switch over , honestly I’ll probably have to rent both cameras to see , I like the grip on the rp though
This is literally me right now!! Soooo many options, it takes forever to research all the options and then to compare all the nuances of each camera. It's a headache. But finally it's all clear to me now. Before I was only comparing between Canon's mirrorless options (M50 vs M6 II vs RP), now I've realized that FUJI's offerings was the missing link that I needed. X-T30 is definitely the winner of all the options I've looked at.
Andy is really so far, the only photographer that makes me excited to watch a camera review because of how amazing his shot is, just wow, I am speechless
Hands down best RU-vid channel I've seen so far. Practical. Detailed. Your voice sounds like a doctor, so calming and soothing. And your technique is as brilliant as a doctor. Hope you could produce more videos and we can learn more about photography from you!! Thank you Andy!
95% of time I shoot stills and no matter how desperately I try to justify an upgrade, my X-T20 still performs amazingly well. I almost bought X-T3 but decided to use that extra cash and spend on new lens. I mean eventually I will upgrade but for photography alone, picture quality differences are still quite marginal.
As non video shooter myself on your brother-camera -(xe3) - I see no reason to upgrade. I do however have my mind and eyes fixed on the xt2 (for the stills I take and the weather sealing it provides). If I shot hybrid the story would be different. (And I love Fuji for not crippling their "baby cameras" - while going all in on bringing the best they can do in terms of sensor and colour science and all that to everyone) I have looked at the early reviews of what they do on the medium format scene today - The entire company is acting so dedicated with their glass-line up - and with their "happiness per dollar" approach while the other companies are so engaged in the FF "game of thrones thing" that they do not even notice what little Fuji is doing on the crop and expanded size side of things. We both own that t20/e3 babies that now are "last gen". And for making still images they are still mindbogglingly good. To the extent that it is the glass that defines the sharpness. Fact is that when I held the xt3 I felt a bit like Fuji moving away from that "adorable" side of the xt2 generation (gen3) with all we love from owning the fully specked babies. It is less "focused" as a still camera. It is hard to explain. But it makes sense when we remember that Leica knows that it is possible to get photographers to pay more for less. Holding a camera that is not too confused about what it should be. Thus being more "thoroughbred" instead of being yet another "bastard" (maybe?).
You almost certainly wouldn't see a difference in still images from your X-T20 to and an X-T3 or X-T30. To be honest, I think we've reached a point where image quality is so good in so many cameras that most upgrades just give small incremental increases in image quality. Of course there's the big leaps like the GFX 100S, but that's a whole different world. I've shot with quite a few cameras and during workshops I get to see the RAW files of all kinds of different cameras, and in most cases absolute image quality really isn't all that different. The upgrades now are mostly in features, and ultimately it means that the best camera really is the one you feel most comfortable shooting.
After watching countless mind-numbing camera reviews, this one really did it for me. Despite being 25 minutes, I found myself really engaged in this review and found it incredibly informative and educational. Really appreciate the slow pace and the candidness, unlike most lightning fast-paced reviews that make you feel intimidated. By far one of the best, if not _the_ best, review of any camera.
When you pause every few minutes because the pictures are breathtakingly gorgeous!! Andy, I'm switching from a Canon 6D to a used XT20 as I dont get enough time for landscape photography anymore. And I've noticed the weight and volume to be very prohibitive for street and travel with the Canon EOS system. I want to get something lighter and capable. Looking at the images you created using the XT20, I have absolutely zero doubts that this change will limit me in any way. And you have just inspired me to work more on my skillset. The images are just gorgeous.
Using an X-T20 now and deciding on X-T3, X-T30, X-T4 or even the new X-S10. This was a great review, thank you. Also - making the back dial the ISO selector is a KILLER tip, paused the video and changed my settings before moving on!
Very informative review; thank you! I'm going to travel backpacking to South East Asia this summer and I was trying to decide whether the X-T3 or the X-T30 would be the best choice for my first Fuji camera. Because size and weight matter a lot for me when traveling, I've almost decided for the X-T30 thanks to your review.
robert nammour really wish is had the flip out screen, it would barely cost them anything, is taller or older people out there, this becomes a deal breaker for landscape photography. Oh well, time to save up for the X-T3
I really appreciate the way you've reviewed this - through your own experience of using it rather than through metrics that really don't relate to what I want from a camera. Far more useful than most reviews. Thanks.
Looooved this video! Just Got my own Fujifilm X-T3 and this video is part of the reason. I actually did a video with my first impression of the camera, and I gotta day, I was surprised. I’ve used canon my whole photography life, but it’s always felt like the shoe didn’t quite fit right with me. The style and feeling of canon just wasn’t my cup of tea. Now the shoe finally fits and I feel more motivated than ever, with my Fuji xt3.
Ah yes, the EVF. I made notes to talk about it in the review, then forgot to mention it (I don't use a prompter or anything, just notes) and only realised I'd forgotten to talk about it when I edited the video together. The size of the EVF on the X-T3 does make it better to use, although I have to admit that as I almost always have the camera on a tripod I only use it about 10% of the time and thus don't notice it so much when I switch the X-T30 as the LCDs are very similar
Great video, thank you very much! I’ve been looking to upgrade from my Nikon D5100 and wanted to go mirrorless. I am almost convinced to go with Fujifilm due to your videos.
Andy, awesome review. It's the first time in my life looking into the Fuji line up. I'm on a really tight budget so i have been looking for a while now (2 months) and this video nailed for me. The images you showed us is what i have been looking for and specially at that price range, x-t30 it is!! Best of luck.
Same! I currently have the Canon 6D, I'm thinking about switching to the xt30 as a more portable option. How are you liking the xt30, does it fulfill your expectations or is it lacking in any specific way after using it for a while? Thanks for your help.
Hi Andy, Thank you for this wonderful comparison video for the latest versions of the FujiFilm camera line ups. I started with the X100 and moved on to the X-T2 and loved them both so very much. I tend to always shoot in RAW and allow Lightroom to take care of my final selected images. The X100 was the camera I carried around all the time but the focusing system on the camera was not the greatest, but I got used to using the camera in manual mode and the images were fantastic. I recently decided it was time to upgrade my daily camera with the X-T30 as you mentioned it has the same focusing system and sensor as the X-T3 which caught my attention. I just love it and the pictures are turning out spectacular. Yes, the grip could be better but I have gotten used to the size and find it very convenient. The only issue I was experiencing was when using the camera in manual focus mode with back button focusing. I was hitting the Q button and it was causing me to miss important moments. With the help from FujiFilm, they provided a new firmware update which allowed me to switch the Q button with the AF button on the back. This now allows me to use the Q button to focus and it was a game changer for me. I love the camera to use on a daily basis. I really love your informative videos and it is greatly appreciated. I look forward to following you closely in the future. I have gained so much with your on going support and help. Your friend always, Aly
Thanks so much for the comment Aly, I'm really glad you find the videos useful. I didn't know that about the firmware update allowing the Q button to change fuction...that's interesting to know
Thank you, you made me to chose Fuji as new system! Was really considered about switching to FF from Nikon dx, but now after watching your work it is clearly that with APSC you could make really fascinating photos in landscape scenery!
What a clear explanation, deep, honest and useful. Thanks for your time and professionalism. I follow you immediately. I am thinking on leaving my Nikon full frame ... direct to Fuji... because of the weight ... thanks again for the review ...
Thanks Andy. Great video as always. Also, thank you for the advice you gave me recently on printing a pano. Received the print a few days ago and it looks great! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for doing this video! This exact scenario applies to me. My xt-20 took a tumble recently (fabulous camera btw and my first Fuji .. I'm hooked!) and I was torn between upgrading to the xt-30, xt-3 or even the xt-4. This video helped me make up my mind to go with the xt-3. I look forward to a better grip, better LCD tilting, weather proofing, dedicated ISO wheel and all the other hight-lights you mentioned. Cheers and thanks again!
Hi. I am a big fan of your photography and love all of your videos. In the XT-3 vs XT30 debate I find the price difference irrelevant when you take into account the cost of all the lenses you will end up buying. The XT30 is a great travel camera for someone who already is into the Fuji X system. After more than one year investigating and watching 100s of videos and reviews of the XT-3 and the Sony A7iii I am finally decided to go with the Fuji. I would love to save 500€ and go with the XT30 but in the global picture that difference is not much and I know I would miss the dials, tactile feel, ergonomics and Viewfinder of the bigger brother, and would ultimately upgrade. So in fact the XT-3 is the cheaper option 😃... or should I wait for the XH-2...🤔
X-T2 User here. I'm waiting for the XH-2 also, but it will be a bit heavier. It will be a tough decision. I hated the top lcd screen on the XH1 so if they replaced that with a dial or something better, it might entice me to upgrade.
I agree with you about the two cameras - given a choice of just one I'd always go with the X-T3 because it just feels better in the hand and balances better with lenses, as well as the build and bigger dials (I shoot a lot with gloves). But I think the X-T30 has a slightly different target market. As for the X-H2, I don't know. I wasn't crazy about the X-H1 because IBIS isn't all that important to me and the additional weight and size was a disadvantage. However, I do know some people who love IBIS and I can certainly see it's uses for handheld video. I don't really follow rumours etc, but I haven't heard much about the X-H2, which suggests it's not being launched any time soon so it could be a bit of a wait. It really depends on how much you think you'll need IBIS in your work
Interesting conversation re the X-H2. The X-T3 has used some of the advances from the X-H1 so maybe the X-H2 will be the forerunner to the X-T4. But how can it improve on the X-T3 apart from IBIS? Larger sensor?
Thanks man! This video really motivated me to start working and buy that piece of technology. Originally, I wanted to buy the Sony a7III but this video changed my point of view and yeah. Great job!
Enjoyed the review and it's very helpful and timely. I sold my XT-2 and then missed Fuji so now I'm deciding between the XT-3, XT-30, and the XE-3. I probably can't go wrong with any of them and I found your comparisons helpful. I think the cost of the XT-3 is probably going to stop me from getting one. I tried out the XT-30 at an electronics store and it is small but I do like the fact that it has the same sensor as the XT-3.
I love the X-E3 and it's my primary everyday camera but it's several years old and not on the same page as the 30 or 3. The X-e3 has the xt2 sensor and processor. XE3 is not good for video at all. If it comes down to the 30 or 3 then go 30 for sure. Other than this video I've never seen a photographer recommend that you pay the added price for the heavier version of the same camera.
Very informative and well-done lecture. One comment: You've virtually equated weather proofing with resistance (or whatever the word should be) to rain (or ocean spray or ...). However I live in the Arizona desert, and worry far more about dust getting into the camera than moisture. Just sayin'.
Apologies about that, I do usually mention the sealing in relation to dust...I probably didn't on this video as I was in such a wet place. However, I've been using the X-T30 and before the X-T20 on multiple trips to Iceland, shooting in the volcanic desert with really fine volcanic dust and high winds, and it's never been a problem.
The images are just pleasing and detailed as you say in the video. If only Sony had x-trans sensor or equivalent, now I want this FF quality sensor on APS-C camera. As a landscape hobbyist I think this camera is the best option for my wallet. Great photos and video, very captivating. I learnt something new today searching for a backup camera. Especially that now the price of the X-T30 has drop
Thanks Andy for a very informative video. It was your video comparing the x-t20 and x-t2 that convinced me to buy the ‘20 but as a stills shooter I’ll pass on the upgrade to the x-t30 !
So the X-T2 has flog & 120fps added with firmware updates, right? Making it much more up to date with the X-T30 and also presumably meaning that they could easily add this to the X-T20 but choose not to because it would be a disincentive from buying the X-T30. Fantastic review by the way, and incredible shots!
This review is almost a couple of years old now but still very helpful and they are still top cameras. Interestingly, since the XT4 came along the XT3 has dropped in price quite considerably and there are some great deals out there with kit lens options that mean the XT30 / XT3 price differential is quite small. That has tipped the balance in favour of the XT3 for me as I think the relatively small increase in cost is now justified by the benefits of the handling, ergonomics and weather sealing of the XT3 for my planned use. However, if I was just going for the best possible in terms of compactness and low weight without loss of image quality then the XT30 is still a brilliant, and in many cases better, option. I also see that there are plenty of good used (or hardly used) deals out there on both cameras - again particularly since the XT4 arrival. I will resist the temptation to go for the XT4 though. I don't need it and most people can save a decent amount of money by buying the XT30 or XT3 or put that extra cash to another lens.
Good review. A bit late for me as I bought mine 3 weeks ago but still useful so far as getting to know the camera (coming from Nikon). I know it is not weather sealed but very reassuring to know it handles a bit of rough use / exposure to elements
Thanks Andy a very detailed review. I'll be sticking to my X-T2 and 20 for just now I'll maybe wait a wee while as I've heard there maybe a higher res coming soon? but I'm not sure they could squeeze much more out of that wee sensor. Great review.
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the review. I'm doubtful that there's a higher res camera coming "soon", Fuji are pretty consistent in their upgrades and seem to be more interested in dynamic range and noise performance, alongside features like video and AF than resolution. The biggest jump I can imagine on an APS-C sensor would be to take them to 32mp, and that seems to me highly unlikely in the year or so. Fuji don't make their own sensors and a good idea of what we can expect in terms of resolution is often found in equivalent cameras. If Sony APS-C cameras start appearing with 32mp sensors for example, then there's a fair chance that the next Fuji sensor will be built on similar architecture with the same mp count. Even so, it's unlikely to appear until the X-T4, which would mean late 2020 at the earliest. Of course it's all speculation and no-one knows :-)
Very informative indeed. I agree with you about the quality of the X-trans sensors. But having used Nikon camera's and lenses for years I have also found that the FujiFilm glass is of exceptional quality, whether it's the basic zooms 18-55 and 55-200 or the inexpensive and light 2.0 primes. These lenses are amazing. I only started out with the X-T20 with the intention to grow into the system if I would find I like it. I've come to like it so much there''s not even a need to switch from my X-T20 too soon (even though I do intend to get the X-T3 besides) ..... I'm glad to have invested in glass first before obtaining the X-T3 next. Even very inexpensive third party primes are a joy to use since it is so easy to shoot manual on these camera's.
Hi Wouter, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment. I also came from using Nikon for years and like you got a (in my case) X-T10 to see how I felt about the system, and like you was amazed at the quality of the lenses. The 55-200mm performs much better than the 70-200mm f4 for example, and the 18-55 is a fantastic kit lens.
I’m still having a dilemma to choose between the xt3 and xt30. I have been using the xt1 in the past 4 years and I’m really happy with the IQ. The main reason I want to upgrade is for the better AF since I take photo of my kids a lot.
The best and most useful review for me on this topic! Im kinda newbie with more expensive cameras and I've been wondering and watching reviews like 2 weeks for what Fujifilm camera (T4/T3/T30/T20) and lenses should I buy. I think this video helped me a lot and I think I will choose X-T30 and 16mm 1.4 and one other smaller standard lens with it! Thanks for the video :)
Hey Andy, as all have mentioned, solid video. It has really helped provide a basis to push me towards a decision on camera choice. However... I am coming from shooting a couple years on only film so this will be my first dive into digital. This will also be my primary camera, as I dont plan on having a backup. Ive settled on the xt-30 or xt-4; I would love to hear your thoughts on my situation and then I can compare that to my internal leaning. From a price point and image quality, it makes sense to get the xt-30 and pick up an extra prime. Though money is *not* really an issue right now. Ive always been saving for a rainy day. The other point here that is Ive held the xt-30 in the shop and even with the L-bracket installed I still experience that "pinch" you are mentioning. I am of the breed with fairly large (read: huge) hands. Maybe that's an obvious deal breaker for most photographers, not sure. So, from someone who has used both systems and understands the lasting effects of ergonomics and performance.... do you have a suggestion to push? Buckle down and just get the Xt-4. Move on. Pick up the xt-30, you will get used to the size and enjoy a lighter camera? Your feedback is appreciated. Cheers! [edit: to add, I plan on shooting stills only and being out in inclement weather quite a lot (I live in the Pacific Northwest). Video maybe some day. ]
Thanks for the comment, glad you found the video useful. I would say for you the X-T30 probably isn't the best option. It is small, and that's exacerbated if you're ever using it with gloves (which I suppose you will be doing in the PNW). I love the X-T30, but I only ever use it as a secondary camera, never a main camera. For that I'll always prefer the ergonomics and feel of the slightly larger X series cameras. My suggestion to you would be the X-T3. It's got the same sensor and image capability as the X-T4, it's slightly lighter and quite a bit cheaper. The only thing the X-T4 has that makes a noticeable day to day difference is the better battery life, the image stabilisation and the flip around screen. The flip around screen is only useful for vlogging and most landscape photographers prefer the the X-T3 screen as it works better with L Brackets. As for the Image Stabilisation, it's useful for shooting video, but when it comes to photography it's by no means a deal breaker for me.
@@AndyMumford Andy, appreciate the response. That helps settle my direction. XT-3 does sound like the best choice. Id just pick up an extra battery and get to work. I agree about the flip screen, especially for street photography if I want to get low quickly. Unfortunately, upon a little digging, it looks like its on back order until the mid- to end of march with stock of the XT-4 flowing nice. Patience with hobbies was never a virtue of mine. I think I've made up my mind especially since I think I can't go wrong with either (really any) system. Most of the work that needs to be done is on my eye and not the camera body. Cheers Keep up the great content. Best of luck
To be honest i love the Faroe Island image specifically because it has a person in shot to show scale and majesty. I think you actually got super lucky and ended up with an amazing and much more interesting composition and story to your image!
Thanks so much. My too, I'm fond of the image and like having the figure in it....it's just not something I would ever do myself or recommend others doing. A fall from there would be fatal
The double-digit XTs appear to be magnificent for smaller hands, for example for younger teenagers starting into creative photography. I also like them a lot as carry-anywhere cameras though I‘ve got pretty large hands. Still feeling much better and more steady than most of the larger cameras I‘ve used.
I'm shooting stills only. I have an XT-2 and baught the XT30 as backup (since I tend to shoot primes). Absolutely a dream team. But there is a hidden third camera in my bag: I dismount my L - bracket from my XT-30 and put on the Fujinon 27mm f2.8 pancake and..... there it is: the poor man's version of the X100V. So, for shooting stills: The XT-2 and XT-30 are still excellent choices in 2021.
The X-T2 was a ground breaking camera for Fuji. I no longer have mine, but Fuji haven't really improved the image quality at all since then, and many of my favourite images were taken with that camera. The XT30 is also a great little camera, particularly as a secondary camera (which is what I used it for). I've just been using the 27mm pancake with the XE4 and you're right, it's like a smaller X100
Good review, but there are many differences between X-T3 & X-T30; 60p in 4k it's huge, 400mbs it's another win, more better for grip (battery-grip)option weather sealing, all these what the upgrade sir. And finally, 10 bit internal.
Hi, thanks for the comment. I actually said it has a limit of 15 minutes at FHD, and it's also written on the screen. This is correct according to the specs on the Fujifilm X-T30 page www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_t30/specifications/
An amazing amount of really useful info and practical demo’s of the huge amount of detail these fuji sensors can capture. And some seriously beautiful images. Thanks.
Love de detailed explenation of all the functions. Big mistake was saying in the beginning they both have 4k 30 fps. And the later saying there is a difference. Get the spec straight at the beginning or else it is confusing
Both cameras have 4k 30 fps. I said that both cameras shoot 4k but the difference is that the X-T3 also has 60fps. I also put this up on titles on the screen.
Thanks for addressing inclement weather use with the X-T20. I'm heading to the Faroe Islands next month and was considering upgrading to the X-T3 for weather sealing, but I'd rather put the money towards the XF 10-24 lens. Based on your comments, I'm not as paranoid about moisture as I was and think I'll be fine w/ a plastic cover when in misty conditions.
Thanks for the comment, glad you found the video useful. A little moisture really isn't a problem at all. I've just got back from Iceland where the X-T30 was basically attached to my 55-200mm all the time so I didn't have to change lenses. I never gave any consideration to the weather or water when I used it and it was fine.
Nice video Andy, though not convinced your comparison of the x-t30 auto mode with the x-t3 in programme mode is correct. Full x-t30 auto mode does scene analysis to best pick the shutter speed, aperture and iso level for the type of scene being photographed. I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure P-Mode on the x-t3 and x-t30 just picks a balanced exposure with no consideration to what’s being shot. My biggest issue with full auto is that is wont allow saving as raw, so if I give my wife the camera for a quick few shots I either have to set it up manually first or end up with all my photos in raw and hers in jpg!
Thanks Andy, this was a GREAT and very informative review of the X-T30 comparisons with the X-T20 and X-T3. THANK YOU for including video footage and photos for comparison purposes! BTW, I remembered you mentioned the gentleman than walked into your cliffs shots by accident- I actually liked him in the shots! Besides adding a size/height perspective to the shot, him standing alone on a cliff watching this great sunrise gave the shot an ethereal effect for me. Add one more subscriber to your channel tally!
Thanks so much for the sub, really glad you enjoyed the review. I didn't mind the guy walking into my shot, he really does add to it, I was just concerned at how dangerous it was as there was a long drop if he slipped
Thanks for a great review! I'm thinking about investing in the Fuji system, but I really can't decide between the X-T30 and X-T3. I really like the price of the X-T30 and don't need the extra features of the X-T3, except for one. I live and shoot mostly in the pacific northwest of the US where it rains for more than half the year, and I feel like weather proofing could be important :(
@Beyond 360 With the X-T4 coming out I think I'm gonna see if I can catch the X-T3 on sale somewhere. I just want that peace of mind when I'm spending so much on a camera
Yeah, I know where you're coming from. I've been using the X-T30 and before that the X-T20 for a while and I've used them in some pretty extreme weather....I was just in Iceland and shot with the X-T30 in some blizzards, and I've never had an issue with them. I don't use WR lenses either. But I can accept that for peace of mind the WR on the X-T3 is better. I also think it handles better with the slightly bigger body and dials, and a little thing that I miss when I use the X-T30 is the screen not articulating in portrait mode.
Andy Mumford If one has a curious mind, any information could be useful. This video is about xt30, but it is also for tx20 and t3 as well.:) And if someone is juggling his mind between Fuji and Sony/Cannon(...), it makes the choice easier. Of course, not necessarily in favor of Fuji. Have a nice day!
How about the XT-2? In Amazon US is now about $100 cheaper than the XT-30, not sure which one to upgrade to up from the XT100. The XT-2 has better features for what I have found out, but it is a 3+ year old camera already, so not sure if it would be better to get newer tech with the XT-30 instead. I would go with the XT-3 but it is $500-600 more expensive than those two cameras right now. Trying to save some money for lenses.
The X-T2 is a great camera and for just still photography there's no significant difference between the images from the X-T3/30. The X-T2 has nicer features like the double card slot, better ergonomics and controls. The X-T30 doesn't have better video functions though.
Hi Andy, As a fellow Fuji user (X-T20), I was wondering how you sharpen your images in Lightroom (or in another program), as the worms and artifacts tend to cause problems for me. As always, great video, and I look forward to the next ones!
Hi Jason, well the first thing is that I don't actually sharpen my RAW images at all in Lightroom, I only sharpen the final output JPEG file when it's resized for the web. Basically I have an action that sharpens the image at the same time as it resizes depending on the size of the final output
@@AndyMumford Ahh I see, and that actually makes more sense for when it's published on the web. Thanks for getting back to me! I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
I was debating between Sony a6400, Panasonic GX9 and Fuji X-T30 for my upcoming trip to the Dolomite, and this is one of the best reviews for mid-priced enthusiast mirrorless camera I was looking for. I used to be a retoucher so I would rather see what the camera could capture for post production rather than fidgeting hundreds of capture modes...so that part of video was very helpful. Most reviews on aforementioned cameras focus on Sony's 4K Video feature...which I was not interested at all and the color seemed a bit strange sometimes. I will be hiking ragged terrain on via ferrata / climbing so I really didn't want a big "feel-good" camera either so probably no X-T3 for me :-) As for the lens, I want it to be smallest profile possible - I rarely zoom anyway. what is the trade offs of having a "pancake" style lens as opposed to a kit lens / other lens ? Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you !
Hi, thanks for the comment, glad you found the video useful. For lenses, the two pancakes that Fuji make aren't really for me as they aren't really focal lengths I use all that much. I tend to shoot wider than 18mm or 27mm. Fuji's kit, the 18-55mm is a really nice lens, very sharp and pretty small and lightweight. Fuji have also just put out the 16-80mm, which looks interesting, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
