@@dougmacdonald7660 I actually wound up finding a (barely) used XT-3 at a local camera shop for a really good price, got the 15-45 with it but I only really use it when I need autofocus or I'm making videos, otherwise my x to fd adapter and my trusty canon fd 50mm 1.8 is my go to, with the crop factor its functionally 75mm or so, but it gives a really good image for a 40 year old lense and I love manual focus. Autofocus feels like cheating after learning photography on film lol.

As an X-T30 owner, the changes are not worth the hassle to sell the camera then fork out more money for the new mark ii. If you want video, why not buy the X-S10 which has IBIS? The extension of the video mode from 10 to 30 minutes is a big deal, but will this little body overheat by then? One disappointment with the mark ii body is the off-center tripod/plate mounting hole was not changed and probably would require a new body design to achieve that. The X-S10 has the centered mounting hole and access to the battery compartment is not blocked by a tripod plate. Bottom line: if you own an X-T30 presently, this new model does little to entice an existing owner to buy the upgraded camera; you already have a great camera. If a person wants to get into the Fuji system, this is a great gateway camera.

The hardware updates make sense for new buyers. But to original XT-30 users the firmware update would’ve held them over for those 2 years or so. Fuji is basically saying you either have to get this one which is barely an upgrade or wait 2 years for this firmware and film sims that they totally had the capability of adding right now. It just feels like if they wanted the new firmware to be exclusive to a new camera, then they should’ve updated more about the hardware to compel current xt30 users to upgrade. You’d only expect this kind of stuff from Fuji if it was a brand new xt40 or something.

I would love to use the camera for my upcoming trip to England to shoot villages, houses, streets, churches, the beach. As I am just starting, I don't want to switch lenses all the time. I was recommended to go with the 18-55mm (but they did not have the kit with the 15-45mm in stock :-)). Do you think the 15-45mm would be ok to start or would I never forgive myself afterwards for missing the "better" option 18-55mm? Or would you recommend any other lens over the two mentioned above? Any advise would be so much appreciated! Thank you!

@Harmonicat

Жыл бұрын

I think it really depends on if you want the zoom capability in your lens (based on you saying you don't want to switch lenses I guess you do) but I think a really good lens option would be a 23mm lens. It's not super wide but also isn't incredibly long and having the fixed focal length would encourage you to be more deliberate with your framing and positioning rather than just zooming in. Would also allow you to use a wider aperture if you're taking the camera around with you at night to take pictures. There is also the XF 27mm f/2.8 which is a really compact lens and would really help with the pocketability of the camera rather than having to bring a bag all the time to store it in when you're out. Both lenses can be had for around the same price as the add-on price of the 18-55 in the x-t30 ii kits and from my experience using 18-55 lenses (not the fuji one mind you) I much prefer the fixed focal length. Lastly, there would be the Fuji 35mm f2 lens. 35mm on APSC cameras is a great focal length and I really enjoy shooting architecture and stuff with that focal length, I actually went on a trip in the summer and despite having another lens with me I kept a 35mm lens on my camera practically the entire time. Works well for portraiture (I use mine for taking pictures of my pets a lot) as well as just a genera walk-around lens.

The advantage of the X-T30ii is the multiple dials and buttons, so you don't have to dig into the menus. I also appreciate the smaller and compact design, compared to the X-S10. However, the X-S10 has a deep grip for better handling, especially with larger lenses. The biggest difference is the X-S10 having IBIS or In-body Image Stabilization. They both use the same sensor, processor and the image quality will be the same.

Did you confirm that Fuji has no intention of adding these features to the original via firmware? This has me so puzzled as to why. I don’t even know if they added features to the X-T3WW at the same time. It’s just puzzling to me. I have an X-E4 and X-T4.

Previously Fujifilm used firmware updates to improve the performance of their cameras, as well as add features that customers were asking for. Since they had few cameras and were growing their camera business, they offered regular firmware updates for these reasons. Now that they are more popular and have plenty of camera options, I think regular firmware updates have become counter-intuitive for Fujifilm. Why work on an older camera's firmware that's no longer in production (although they might be in stock) when they can focus their attention on selling current cameras? I'm not defending it, I think they should have offered the X-T30 and X-T3 the newest firmware. However, as you saw just after the last X-Summit, they introduced the X-T30ii and discounted the older X-T30 and X-T3 to move stock. It's unfortunate for X-T30 and X-T3 owners.

I liked the very informative video. I know I am 2 years too late commencing, as I am possibly only interested in one of these cameras now. Whilst you covered a lot of information, you left out the very core of the camera, image quality, ISO performance, as far as noise is concerned and dynamic range. I assume it is the same sensor, and there is no difference. But you could have clarified that at some point during the video, I watched the video for nothing. The film simulations etc don't interest me, I understand that they interest most people, I just wanted to know what sort of raw files the sensor produces, especially in low light. You didn't have to do one of those side by see side image quality shots on video, but you could have done the test and told us about your results. I am not being critical for the sake of it, it is just that there are other people like me too, who would have found a minute or two talking about the sensor/image quality important. Even though I understand we are probably in the minority.

Also a lot of people don't realize, the XT30 actually came half a year AFTER the XT3. The updates that came on XT3 were not brought up to the XT30 either.

I think Fuji’s claim that it didn’t add a flip out screen to keep the camera body small is a cop-out. Sony figured it out with its small cameras, i.e. zv1, zv-e10. Fuji could have at least added a flip up screen.

Yes, sepia and Velvia are unusable in any situation. You are better off adding saturation to Provia.

If I understand it correctly you’re going to meetup with Samuel Lintaro in Germany? Can’t wait , that’s going to be good 👍

Of the 3 prosumer bodies, the X-T30ii is the best body design, as long as you don't need selfie mode. IBIS is nice, but I know many don't need or want it.

Why the heck you use 2 watches?

I laugh at everyone losing their mind. The reason for the change is supply chain issues. There are containers sitting in China and the LA that haven't moved in months. Consolidating Suppliers of parts is the only way to make things move faster.

This may be true, but it doesn't explain why the X-T30 and X-T3 didn't get the latest firmware updates to put them on par with the newest cameras with the same sensor and processor. The made slight changes to the X-T30ii so they could sell it as a 'new' camera while getting rid of the final parts left on the original X-T30, and dropped the price of the X-T3 so they could move the final stock. I'm not happy this was their decision, but it makes business sense. I just feel bad for the original X-T30 and X-T3 owners who were waiting for the latest firmware.

@@bigheadtaco the XT3 got the firmware updates, if my memory serve me well, with same autofocus capabilities as the XT4, etc. No film sims, but they NEVER put film sims in firmware (anyone waiting for one is kind of a fool). But it makes it even more of a problem for the XT30, who came after the XT3 and didn't get any meaningfull update until it came... In a mark II package, with a price attached to it. For me, it is not a big deal, but it's a (very) cheap move by Fuji showing in wich way they're headed.

@@showdaKOs yes X-T3 got a few updates since it was a pro body and often times the prosumer bodies out performed it, like when the X-T30 first came out. However, Fujifilm does sometimes offer film simulations in some firmware updates. the most recent was when the GFX50S and 50R got all the new film simulations, including Classic Neg a few months ago. Now this was done mostly as a marketing move, plus both cameras are still currently on sale. However, you are correct, it's not done often....

@@bigheadtaco On the firmware updates : while that is true for GFX cameras,the last time it happened for X cameras was in 2016 and classic chrome. GFX user are another audience willing to put grands on any body and/or lenses, they're treated differently (they even got one film sim more than we do), sad reality but reality. Maybe some day they will release film sims again to older bodies, but I fear that it's when they know they have no updates at all to bring to us (so very sad day) or they change drastically their strategy. Until them don't wait for it fellow fuji users, it may never come. On the XT3 speciffically, it really the last body (of the X series) wich got a major update with the focus on par with the XT4. All other updates were cool but not really game changing and I think it will stay like that for a long time, the newer sensor will come next year with a newer processor and allow them to claim that hardware is too different to offer updates (wether it's true or not, i won't pretend that I know).

To many distractions from the start and then talking about cameras that aren’t in the comparison details, if your doing a comparison of two cameras, do what it says on the tin, not bring in four other cameraS!

pay another $100 and get XS10 instead

Ya I think for many this makes the most sense. But I know many who are mainly stills shooters and want a more compact form factor, so the X-T30ii does make sense... for some :-)

Never buy these camera , when u attach in gimble and want to change battery its not possible.very bad battery .

Hate this about Fuji, so when you have a older Fuji and just want to have the new colour profile you already need a new camera... Even if it is just software. Just bullshit. And with these camera's its even more bullshit.

Wow, that intro was so ADHD.

Nah. Not exactly innovative.

You have to understand that Fuji is essentially a business. To make sure firmware updates, they have to have programmers work on them (and I’m sure they don’t work for free). Like Take said previously, I’m sure if they charge for firmware update, it would be a better compromise.

@bigheadtaco

@@weilyan Good point Will. I should have mentioned this in my video, but it was getting too long. But yes firmware updates do cost Fujifilm a lot of time and money. If the camera is no longer in production, it doesn't make 'business' sense for a team to spend time on something they won't make money on when they have so many other projects they're working on. It's just the reality of Fujifilm's success over the years. Paying for firmware would make sense, or selling film simulations as an add-on feature for the prosumer cameras.

@@bigheadtaco Obviously I am not a camera programmer but you would think a lot of the firmware are similar, it would be as easy as copy and paste, especially film simulation on the same sensor, they already did the work on XT4 and XS10, shouldn't be that much harder to retrofit it on something that share quite a lot of the similar buttons and tech.

This model is so unnecessary.

Does it support high speed syn flash?
