For today's Camera Thrifts, I'm using the Fujifilm XM1. I wanted to try out the X-trans sensor but didn't want to sped a fortune doing so.
Since this is a "Camera Thrifts" video, I kept this sub 200 dollars for the entire system:
$125 for the body plus battery
$38 dollars for the 7 Artisans lens (used on Amazon, they can be found new for roughly 50 dollars USD)
The rest was for the tripod (had it for years lol. Just a tiny manfrotto).
I'm surprised by the quality straight from the camera without any editing! I think it could make a great A,B,C,D whatever in your bag haha. Thanks for watching!

That is disappointing :( Camera prices have gone very high around the world in the past year, and Fujifilm has especially gotten popular. I wish the camera can come down in price because it is a fantastic little shooter, but not for $300! Thanks for your comment and view!

Supposing this camera worked its way back up to 300 bucks lol! The camera market is crazy these days. It certainly is a great one to pair with your Xt-5!

Nice find! You took some great pics! Paired with the 7artisans lens is a nice idea. Those native Fuji lenses start a little higher for me for a cheap setup. I had an xpro1 for a while and never did get a native lens, though I probably should have...

That X-Pro 1 is on my camera bucket list lol. I agree; Fujifilm lenses are pretty costly. I've been thinking about just getting an adapter and using some vintage glass with my setups for Fuji

Hi Matt, great vid, I'm considering to buy this camera. Is it focus peaking feature on this camera?

I appreciate your comment! There is focus peaking and even focus magnification on the Fuji!

Hey Matt, Great review, nice camera. Always great to see some forgotten digitals get some love! Tech moves so quickly and these gems get shuffled to the back row. Understanding the limitations is part of the enjoyment of using them. Besides, if it breaks you are not out more than $200.00 or so, compared to a larger newer camera. :)

Thanks for your comment! I agree 100 percent. What's crazy is how cheap these old mid range/"protographer" grade cameras go fore on today's market. Most of the time, they have nearly the same features as their "pro" counterparts too!

Great video, it's not about the camera but who is holding it. Too bad this exact camera costs $700 Canadian.

I blame tik tok lol. Only halfway kidding; the camera market has been insane lately. In addition, "tik tok influencers" have been obsessed with fujifilm cameras for some reason lately, and now fujis are A. Expensive B. Sold out or C. All of the above 😫

Just wondering - what would You when You're in direct sunlight, want to maintain the frame, but refocus to another object? is manual focusing good enough, will You be able to see where the focus is on in such bright conditions? Does it have any additional ways to do it? This is quite crucial for the street photography where rangefinder cameras shine. Would be great if we could tap on a screen to refocus, but it's not a touchscreen unfortunatelly.
@MattsNotes
@MattsNotes 10 месяцев назад
Thanks for your comment! I'd opt to manual focus with the XM1 more often than not, especially in harsh sun. The screen isn't the best with this old camera but I think it's passable all things considered. If I do use auto focus in those conditions, I'd maybe try to hit focus on my subject using a center weighted metering mode in autofocus single, then recompose to my liking after it's locked in. I hope I am making sense lol, that is a great question

Hi! I recently bought one of those in mint condition but I noticed that i have some stuck/dead pixels on my sensor. Did you notice the same problem with yours?
@MattsNotes
@MattsNotes 2 года назад
Sorry to hear that. I've had this issue with a canon camera before and I was able to fix it by performing a "sensor clean" under my camera settings, and facing the camera sensor towards the ground when doing so. Here's my dumb question: does it show up when you upload the image to a computer?

Pick up the 16-50 3.5 kit lens. A great match for it, especially with it's ois. Sharpness in the center is phenomenal. Focusing speed super fast. Weighs nothing. And this is from a guy who has the 16mm 1.4, the 23mm 2.0, the Viltrox 85mm. Since I only had my X-M1 for a year before buying the T-2 body, now I'm refreshing my memory on the XM-1. It's macro setting is pretty cute, as it isn't needed on the later bodies. Naturally watching The Fuji Guys video on it is a MUST. I had to remember how to use focus peaking on legacy lenses like my Rollei 50mm C.Z. 1.8. And their detailing on the built in flash modes is outstanding. Have fun. Another thing nice about these early models is the CD that comes with to use the their Raw conversion software (to tiff). No need for other pay by the month software like Lightroom. (I have an old Imac with a 10.6.8 system that can't handle later raw from the T-2, but I do have stand alone Photoshop CS 4 and 6 I don't have to pay monthly for) so, get the Fuji software that comes with. It won't work on later bodies though.

Thanks for your comment! I've just picked up that kit lens. I love it so far! It's been living on my X e1!

Myself, I need the viewfinder. Even with poor focus peaking on the earlier models , it's easier with a viewfinder. The XE1 makes more sense for the same price, or close enough ! LarryMac

$125 dollars?... LOL, well a year later you can't find these for less than $300. That's more than what the X-T1 is going for, which is by far the better camera!! Jesus Fujifilm nerds are weird. Why would anyone spend more money on this over an X-T1?? The Fujifilm world is fucking out there man.
@MattsNotes
@MattsNotes 11 месяцев назад
Yeah it's INSANE lol. The camera market at large is ridiculous right now. While I do like the XM1, it's not a 300 dollar price tag, especially with other options looming around that cost. To add on to your Fuji fan boy point, have you seen the price tags of their old compact cameras? The x100, x10, x20 etc are all 500 dollars plus! Crazy for nearly decade old, 12 megapixel digicams with no distinguishing features aside from the Fuji name lol
