You are a blessing. I got mine today and I am already in love. Thank you for bringing us together. Came from analog fotography so adjusting was rather easy for me... therefore I adore your slow street fotography approach. Keep up the good work!

@HEYitsTRAV 2 года назад

Excellent video, Faizal! Such a beautiful short film vibe that really captures what you do and how this camera works for you. I found your channel a long while back when I first got the X100V. But I have really grown to just love your style and the methodology behind how you see things and shoot. Such an inspiration to me. Take care, my friend!

@paulasimson4939 2 года назад

That was the clearest explanation of back button focus I've heard. Now I get it! And I've had my XE4 for several month now and never noticed the P or A settings. I'm going to try them out and see how it works for me and the way I shoot.

@elsaleemenna 2 года назад

I need to admit, the big influence that make me sure to buy a camera and going for a walk, taking pictures, and to continue my hobby is this channel. Thanks Faizal 🖤

@@FaizalWestcott it really shows! I think the opening song created the right mood and sets it apart from the previous videos. It reminded me a lot of your chinatown video, which is one of my favorites.

@benjones8977 2 года назад

Nice review, I’m old school though and still use the focus and shutter button for what it’s always been set at. If I’m doing some fixed shots, I can just turn the focus to manual. But whatever works for each individual. Never cared much for the 35 mm range, but love the 50 F2, 75 mm equivalent. 🖖

@mstrchat 2 года назад

Such a peaceful and informative video. Great work 👍🏽

@unceunce 2 года назад

I also have X-E4 and now got the X100V after missing it's simplicity. For the X-E4 I use the 35mm f1.4 and the 56mm f1.2. Just a fantastic combo.

I bought the Fuji XE-4 yesterday I have to say that you videos of this camera were helpful. You talked about technical stuff but really I enjoyed more your approach as a photographer what the camera makes you feel and how do you feel when you get out with this camera. I wish everybody can talk from the photographer’s perspective more.

@wilfs1196 2 года назад

I am a retired senior & hobby photographer, & first time watching your excellent video presentation. Recently purchased a X-E4 a few months ago & enjoy it's simplicity. I robbed the Fuji 18-55 & 70-300 lens from my 2 1/2 year old X-T3 which is in dire need of some use, but the X-E4 has taken precedence. My new 23 mm f1.4 WR LM Fuji came in a few days ago & looking forward to some prime shooting with it. That's about as far as I intend to go with lens acquisitions. I reviewed dozens of my photos & found my fl was closer to 23 than 35, hence the choice. The 70-300 is getting a major workout with the local breakfast club squirrels & birds at my feeder. Am also a new subscriber.

@JodAetaem 2 года назад

Wonderful job on the video! This camera as such a vibe to it, I'd love to test it! It seems like the perfect camera for a family: user friendly enough for the beginner, while maintening that Fuji high quality for more experienced users

@jean-fabien Год назад

Thank you so much for this great feedback and tips and experience sharing. I’m a Fuji user (XPro2/ X100t / XT20…) and I was hesitating between X100V and X-E4 for daily photography. I love X100 serie but I guess X-E4 with 35 and 23 F2 lenses can be a great deal too. Your video was very helpful. Congrats from Paris 🇫🇷 for your great photography work too.

I just received a rental X-E4 this afternoon. I immediately put the 35mm f/2 on it as that seems like a perfect match. I came by to see how you set your camera up and you provided some good insight. Thank you.

@alihall4208 2 года назад

I've had the Fuji xt1 and xt10, and now have a Fujifilm xe3 with 23mm f2 - it has definitely become my favourite combination for pretty much everything. Prior to that, the Lumix GX80 with 25mm was my main camera for years.

@desoriordan9515 2 года назад

Nice video Faizel, thanks for making it. Speaking as somebody who owns an X100V, I have a sneaky suspicion the X-E4 offers better value for money and added versatility. But for my own day to day I opt for the V 90% of the time, I also have an X-T3 with a few lenses. Ease of use and portability are huge factors in people's decision making when out using their cameras. Good things come in small packages!

@veganesfischbrotchen1395 2 года назад

Thank you! I realy needed a video like this. Thinking for month now, if I should by a fuji x100v or xe4. This video realy helped me.

@thierrybernot9369 Год назад

Hi. Best how to and beginner setup and choices explanation I've seen so far. I'll still keep my Sony A7 R3 but I've chosen this little XE4 and the 35 mm F2 to get lighter when traveling.

@rondo365 Год назад

Nice analysis, completely agree with the aesthetic of a straightforward camera. It’s about the shot.

There is something very appealing about the minimalist approach of this camera, particularly in the execution of creativity.

@highwayheadspace 2 года назад

awesome upload Faizal :) I recently got an xe4 and am loving it! the weight and form factor of the xt4 and 16-55 f2.8 was too cumbersome to carry around

@calvinatdrifterstudio8438 2 года назад

I got an Xe1 and it still produces perfect photos and doesn't really feel dated or old

@flow_leit 2 года назад

I share a lot of your thoughts about this camera. A lot of people complaining about the missing switch button for af mode and the "over" minimalist took compared to the X-E3. I come from the Canon world, with an old trusty / heavy / chonky 5DMKII. When i've choosen to switch to Fuji, it was so "refreshing" (not sure if this is the right expression in english). I rediscovered the joy to shoot with a simple camera, like i did it with all my old film cameras. I don't really need that much, aperture / shuttering speed / exposure compensation and that's all ! Then just go shoot ! No overthinking, complicated workflow or whatsoever. And as many, it was hard to choose between the X-E4 and the X100V. But to not limit my "vision", to be able to change lenses was the good reason that i choose the X-E4. And finally, it's one of the cheapest camera from fuji and in that specific range compared to other brand. But you keep all the advanced technology from the flagship. That's just amazing ! As usual Faizal, you make really good content. I really like what you share and the way you doing it. Keep it up ! (greeting from France)

@DustinDriver Год назад

Wow thanks! I'm going to try these settings, they seem great.

@adamkocka-patchik4545 2 года назад

my only hangup on the xe4 was the focus switch being removed. my xpro3 feels perfect ergonomically and i find the switch is super handy

@wilfs1196 Год назад

Just rewatched the video again, Faisal. With reference to the camera sustains wear marks from the triangular loops (which I have somewhere) I use the Peak Design quick disconnect system. Can’t cause any damage. I learn something every time I rewatch the video(s). Could be a senior’s memory capacity too…… have to turn off spell check..

@liamencabo868 2 года назад

For you making a one year “Experience” video I do appreciate. For anything gear or tech related a lot of people will do 1 week, 1 month of 3 month video over using gear for that duration of time. Which I think is ridiculous since that’s not enough time really to fine tune your likes and dislikes since things can change. Where a one year review overview can speak volumes on what the gear was like to use/own and how your likes can become dislikes and vice versa with the dislikes to likes. Top-notch as always! Fuji film really is one of those brands everyone should at least one point try to test out and own👌🏼

@tonyparatore888 2 года назад

From what I see of your work, I would say that you can make interesting photos with any camera... 👌

@kennethhouston4838 2 года назад

Hi there, good honest user video. I am actually in the market to purchase either the XE4 or possibly an older X Pro 2. Main reason for the latter is that I like the idea of the optical viewfinder as an option. Was really mooning over the X100V but I like the idea of being able to swap out lenses. Plus there is a cost consideration as well. If you have any additional pointers please feel free to let me hear. thank you!

Man you’re a god of street photography, don’t listen to the hate. Every photo you take is complete in itself, we don’t need a back story to understand your pictures. They speak for themselves. I just wanna say that whatever you’re doing its working. Keep up the good work.
