Someone asked me “is that a good camera you’re using?” And I said “it’s not about having a good camera, it’s about the camera being able to do what you want it to do.” And then then I thought “damn, that’s good, I need to remember that.”

When did my X-T2 become an old camera?

Message from late 2023! This was a fun video about the XT-2. I am a Canon FF user here who loved the files from the X100S I used to have. I just bought an X-T1 as an alternative and better way to get those X Trans 2 files back again. So I guess the X-T2 is my "upgrade path".

Meanwhile... I am stil rocking the x-t1 😂

Super great episode. Love the message to get the good out of what a camera does have to offer, e.g. Acros, etc.

I love, love my XT2 and it does everything I need (I am not into videos). More money for new glass this year.....Good point guys, that you don't always need the latest and greatest (?) equipment to be happy.

This is the best advice! I bought an X100S a few months ago and it’s been a joy to shoot with!

I own the xt2, xh1, and GFX50r and I still everyday carry my xt1 with my 27mm pancake lens. I love it!!

I have the XT-3 that I use for work, and keep my XT-2 for backup and everyday use. I love them both!

The XT 2 is a phenomenal camera

I just can't wait for 2065 to put my hands on my brand new Leica M10!!!

Great video guys!!!!

I've been using the xt2 for a year now it does everything that I need in a camera.there is hardly a day I don't at least take a few shots with it.

Welcome back,my friends!

I think YT recommended this because I just bought a used X-Pro1 without realizing how "old" that "old" can be. But I will say this did help me with something an old friend talked to me about. She has a daughter who thinks she might be into photography and wanted to hear my input. I think the idea of a used camera is outstanding. So many problems are resolved with going with a used camera. The only issue is convincing others that it is really the smart decision. Another thing that did resonate with me is the topic of editing. I am not a pro but I am still caught in that raw edit wormhole. I need to look into letting the camera do that work for me. But that is a different topic.

About month ago bought X-T2 used but as new to try new for me system X mount. I do like the dials, controls and ergonomics. Battery life not as good as on Olympus (e-M1) but I bought 3 spares :) And the shutter sound...I love it

I'm so sick of people talking about which camera is better. I love it when photographers talk about photography, especially photography legends. It's not the gear that makes you a good photographer, it's you! O btw, I bought a gfx 50r a month ago😂 I couldn't turn away from a dirt cheap deal from a friend of mine. So I sold my x system! O what a hypocrite!

Cheers from switzerland

I probably bought the last brand new xt2. I love it! I'll probably buy an xt3 when the xt5 comes out.

Maaaaan, I thoroughly enjoyed this!

The thing is that cameras are coming out so quickly that a lot of "old" cameras are still super effective for a lot of peoples needs. On top of that, the xt-2 is a really good candidate for a new "old" camera because the xt-3 was more of a small upgrade in the photography side, sure the autofocus was a good upgrade but when it comes to autofocus there are diminishing returns and at the level of autofocus the xt-2 has, its more than enough.

The X-T2 isnt old not even the X-T1 is old A Nikon D3 or D700 is old (and still rock) 😅 To be honest no camera with live view a video mode and wifi i would consider as old

If you're not sure whether you need colour of b&w, but still don't want to edit much in post, just flip the camera to film simulation bracketing, then set your favourite 3 profiles, and that's it: each shot saved in the 3 film simulations of your choice.

Great video, this! I fully agree on "old cameras" and especially on the fuji x-t2. I swithced from Canon 5d III´s last year to a pair of x-t2 ´s and an x-t1 and have been very happy with the move. Have been thinking of getting myself an x- t3 but I guess I just don´t need it- the x-t2 does all I need. A very competent camera, indeed! Btw, my wife loves to use my ancient Canon 5d classic and preferes the results to anything newer...now that´s old..:)

As a full time photographer "old" gear never held back. "Back in the day" I used the all new canon 5d mark Ii which was top notch. I get amazed to hear that my camera is completely outdated 5y later. The camera hasn't changed, the subject hasn't changed, my way of working hasn't changed. The only thing that changed is your view (imprinted by camera manufacturers) thinking you need more inside the camera while you only need more in your legs and fingers

Have been shooting with an X-T1 for about a year now and still really enjoy it. Will likely go to an x-t20 or 30 becuase of the need for video, but I'm holding out to see what Fuji does this year and will see if the X-E4 drops in price.

Just got an xpro1.. I noticed the performance difference compared to my xt3.. but it's still a great camera with awesome iq.. sometimes you need an older camera to slow down the photo process..

@benharris3949

Patrick j photography in what way does the XT-2 best the 6D? Because those are my two options right now.

My old camera is my new camera. I bought the Xpo2 and the XT2 new several year ago. Since then I’ve added more glass and Im done now, Im off the merry go round of gear acquisition. For the price of an XT4 I could fly to Havana for a week or two and indulge in Rum and fine hand rolled cigars. Now thats what money is for 😎

I bought a Fuji X-T20 brand new in March 2020 so I like this thinking. I shoot mostly stills so it made sense. Bought the X-T20 because of Omar though. Love it so far. I got it to keep my setup small so I got the 16/2.8 and the 35/2. No need for a camera bag, I do carry a fanny pack with one lens and plastic bags for my dog's poop. Waiting for the Minolta MD adapter so I can round it off with my sweet Minolta MC PG 58mm f1.4 making my kit 16, 35, 58.

Thanks for the video. I am an XT-1 user since 2016. Recently, I am considering to upgrade to XH-1 for several reasons: (1) IBIS, (2) better resolution (3) more comfortable fit for my large hands and (4) amazing deals due to, probable, discontinuance of XH line and expectation of XT-4 with IBIS (which will leave the XH line in the shadow of the XT line). I don't do any video. The main reason I would like to upgrade the resolution is that my purpose as a hobbyist photographer is to print my photographs for my own use, preferably at A3 or A2 size. I don't know much about printing but as per my short research on the matter, it seems like the 24MP sensor gives approx 250dpi in A2 print where 16MP gives 200dpi. I am not sure how big of a deal that is but I would like to have a certain level of print quality both for my satisfaction and in case someday I would sell some of my photographs as prints. I would love to get your opinion on that matter. Cheers.

how do you determine the shutter actuations count on a used xt2

Unless you are shooting video or action, a lot of the new upgrades aren't really much of a benefit. I shot with the Sony A73 and realized for what I do (portraits and some landscapes) the older XT-2 was just as good and was actually more intuitive.

Great video. Thanks. I love the Fuji X-T2. For me this is all I will ever need. With the filmsimulations and the great jpgs, I will never buy another camera. Well, maybe a second one for back up......

Ha, you call the X-T2 old? That says a lot about today's buying habits and gear-centric mindset. I mean, in the film days, photographers easily used cameras for a decade or longer and often didn't feel limited in any way. I did pick up a used X-T1 three weeks ago for less than 300 bucks and will make that my camera for 2020 (and beyond). I don't consider it outdated. Maybe it has to do with my kind of photography. I mostly shoot (more or less) static subjects, so autofocus performance isn't a priority for me; neither are megapixels (some of my favorite shots were taken on a 6 megapixel DSLR and I never hesitated making large prints from these files). Either way, the camera body isn't the most important tool for your photography. I'd rate the lens choices far more important, for example. But even more so, it's your vision, subject, light and composition that make a good photograph.

I remember selling my used film cameras at premium after using it for more than 2 decades.

I just ordered one used to accompany my OM-D E10M2

I have an old 60D with 50mm lens that has fungus and 18-55 with dead AF and I didn't liked it at first but I've grown to love it . I love the pictures it produces, it has some sort of a character when I look at it. But now, I recently got an X-T20 and it feels so weird using it! Not really dinging the EVF, it feels too "Hi-Tech" for me (If that makes any sense) and the pictures it takes feels too clean for my taste. I still love the feel and simplicity of an old DSLR, all I need is the ability to control ISO, Shutter speed and F-stop respectively and I'm happy! I'm sure I'm gonna love my X-T20 soon, mainly using it for travel and walking around my town and city.

That funky feeling when you see what the new XT-2 firmware does, but you sold yours a year ago..

Wait, so does that mean that older models will never get the new film simulations? For example the X100v will never get ETERNA Bleach Bypass? Or the X-Pro2 will never get Classic Negative?

Omar, SEIKOs are not all made in Japan. The model reference letters tell you where it is made. Search in Google for the meaning of letters K, J, ... in Seiko's model reference.

You only need to change cameras when you need to. If you are a wedding shooter and wedding photographers have been shooting Fuji since the S1 pro. You only need a new camera when you want to do something different with your photography. A xt3 or Eos R Sony A7 3 will last you till it dies. If you switch to birds in flight or pro sports you might want a different camera. But once you get a good camera and stay in your lane you will not need a new camera for awhile
