Catching the early morning rush hour in Ikebukuro; one of my favourite areas of Tokyo, Japan. Taking photos with the Fujifilm X-T5 and filming with the Fuji X-H2S, I'm always surprised and amazed by how beautiful the light is here in Japan. There's honestly something different about it. It's kinda hazy but sharp and definitely chrome-y.
Maybe it's to do with how clean everything is, or maybe it's just geographic positioning? Something hits differently about it!
Following on from my recent video about my first look at the Fujifilm X-T5, I've got some extra thoughts about the X-T5 AF performance and how it compares between the X-H2 and X-H2S.
I hope you're enjoying the start to the Japan content - I've been out filming a lot lately and have plenty of great videos in the works, coming soon, with some sneak peeks going up on my Patreon too!

As a, previously serial Fuji X owner, strayed & back with a pre/order XT5, I’m not sure why I hadn’t come across you before? The XT5 was the link, but what has got me to subscribe is the sheer enthusiasm and infectious love you have for photography and Japan. Such a fascinating country and one I’d love to visit some day, including also the surprising amount of amazing scenery it has. Look forward to more of your Japan based vlogs.

I personally like the tilty screen better than flippy screen, but I hope all manufacturers start using the same mechanism as the Sony A7RV. Flippy and tilty all in one. Adds a tiny bit of thickness, but I’d gladly live with that.

@joeallam Год назад

Yep, it looks great on the new Sony - although I haven't actually seen it in person, I loved the S1H's and this looks way slimmer.

The endpoint for that tram, Minowabashi I think it's called is kind of interesting. The tram is surrounded by roses. I was there a few days ago. The roses aren't at their best at the moment but it's still a cool scene to see the tram with rose bushes around it.

Interesting. I haven't noticed that on the one I'm using. Admittedly, I actually use auto ISO most of the time, so don't really interact with that dial much during the daytime.

@KillerTacos54 Год назад

Brilliant video Joe! You are killing it with these

@bsmukler Год назад

Beautiful photos and video! If you listen to Kevin Mullins’s interview (on Fujicast) of some of the Fujifilm product designers, the differentiation among the H2, H2S and XT-5 is pretty clear and it makes sense that the H2S auto focus seems more responsive than that of the XT-5. It’s not so much a pecking order as it is a difference in the vision and goals for each of the models. I have not used my XT-4 enough for fast moving subjects (although I have done some practice with it) to feel I’ve really nailed the best set-up for specific use cases. I think lens choice and set-up are key with all of the current, advanced systems. The whole field is developing so fast that it is reasonable to assume that camera body and lens structure and drive compatibility as well as firmware advances will continue to make some brands and models momentarily pull ahead of others in the race toward perfection. I think it is great that Fujifilm actively considers customer feedback and suggestions in their design and improvement of their products.

@nickpitsasphoto Год назад

Your excitement for being back in Japan is infectious. Love it! Can't wait to go back. Also, another vote for Ikebukuro. I have a soft spot for it as it was also the first place I ever stayed in Japan, sleeping on tatami for the first time.

@laurelb8372 Год назад

Great shots around those crosswalks. I loved the film simulation in this one. Agree a “bing bing” button to customise subject tracking would be great addition. I do a lot of bird photography using 70-300mm so the flip up/down screen is my fave. Here in Melbourne I use a 35mm around city. Love my XT2 but thinking XT5 might be worth upgrading at last. Looking forward to more Japan videos.

@joeallam Год назад

Yep! I've been very happy with this camera straight off the bat! Hope you enjoy Ikebukuro - it's honestly got such a great vibe about the place, whilst still feeling quite big and prominent. I also think it's got the best connections for all over Tokyo for sure!

@TheIppoippo Год назад

Ikebukuro is a weird one. It has a bit of a reputation for being a little uncool and/or dirty. (My missus doesn't like the area) I don't mind the place, but I guess that's because I often go there because the shooting studio is there, and I've got to know the area better. Must say though, I do prefer Shinjuku though. 😆 But as a larger whole, Shibuya/Shinjuku/Takadanobaba/Ikebukuro/Nerima/Nakano block is my fav part of the central 23 wards. And, yes. At the moment. The weather is a pain to dress for. Chilly in the morning, rather warm during the middle of the day. (Except today, today is just chilly and grey)

@joeallam Год назад

Hmmm interesting! I think we just have such wholesome memories and times in Ikebukuro that it's become a favourite place. For sure the Western area of Tokyo is my favourite in general though. And yes, I've been so confused about what to wear during the day lately. I'm consistently not trusting myself that a jacket on a t-shirt will be fine, and then constantly finding myself carrying the hoody I stupidly decided to bring and overheat in.

@LksMuller Год назад

Hi Joe, could or are you planning to do some summarizing video about your 3-4 months stay in Japan? I don't know, maybe something how is it live in there, what are the difficulties about living in Japan, pinpoint some things, areas, add some stories and etc.? That would be great, at least for me. Oh and by "you" I mean you and Elly of course... (I hate that about english ... 😀 ) Thanks and enjoy your stay!

@joeallam Год назад

Yeah, I'm actually hoping to transition the channel a bit with more lifestyle videos to supplement the photo ones. Hopefully it will end up being more videos overall too, as the photo ones just take so long to edit, whereas other styles could come out far quicker with no real impact on the rest of the channel.

@joeallam Год назад

Cheers! We're definitely trying to get some more projects in line with what we made previously. I think the borders/tourism actually opened up quite abruptly and caught everyone off-guard, so budgets are quite limited until the new year from what I'm hearing.

Awesome shots and great video man! This is my first video of yours that I've watched so forgive me if you've answered it in another video, but im torn between the xh2 and the xh2s. I currently have the x-s10 and would love faster more reliable autofocus (as well as weather sealing), but the draw of being able to crop a lot more is enticing. Did you find yourself taking advantage of the 40 megapixels or are the benefits of the faster xh2s greater? Thanks!

@carlosdelcastillo6770 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I've been used X-T4 for almost 1 year. Compared to Sony A7M3, X-T4 images are little bit soft and very often out of focus. Do you think X-T5's images are sharp enough than X-T4? How do you feel like it...

@joeallam Год назад

X-T5 will definitely be sharper than X-T4 with almost double the resolution, especially when scaled down to the same size screen/paper. What lens are you using on the X-T4 though. I never really felt my images looked soft or often out of focus. Might sound silly, but have you checked the AF dial on the front isn't getting accidentally set to M (manual focus)?
