My Holy Grail Fujifilm Camera
Ойын-сауық
Nothing like looking at cameras and NOT taking photos! Am I right??? Ahhh?
Just kidding. But this video is deep rooted in greed, G.A.S, and bling, bling-ness.

What was the New York skyline panorama shot in terms of focal length? I'm travelling to NY this year and would like to be prepared in terms of lenses I need to take/purchase before. Thanks!

You ARE worthy. Thanks Omar!
Fujifilm really knows how to make asthetically pleasing cameras.
This camera has a function where it will show zoomed in frame lines if you use a longer focal length. Hold the EVF/OVF toggle and it will switch the frame lines.
Dude, your videos just crack me up. Great content and a big smile on my face. Keep up the good work!
You are great comedian Omar!!! Love your humor so much! Im not at all "Fuji fan boy" but really enjoy your content every time. Have a nice day, all best.
I will always regret not buying one when they went on clearance. I agree that it was the peak for the line. Great video!
Hi Omar. You can make the viewfinder exposure needle bigger through the menu by changing Set Up -> Screen Set Up -> Large Indicators Mode (EVF/OVF) to ON
Can I just say I like watching your stuff as its just good vids plus I love the humor and the down-to-earth of your presentations! cheers!
I changed from Cannon to Fuji 18-months ago, purely based on the looks. I never even contemplated another brand, so I am with you....
Yes! I just ordered a used one yesterday, can’t wait for it to come in!
Stoked for you mate! This one appealed to me from day one. My grail camera from Fuji would be a X70mkii though with the same optics but the XT3 sensor and a little water resistance. I NEED that pocketable APS-C goodness.

That's something I really want as well, not a fan of the Ricoh GR, would love if Fuji made an alternative
Perfect choice! Got mine back in 2017 and it’s still kicking today!!
I got mine ( same colour ) for less than £500 3 yrs ago. Love the way it feels in the hand and I always feel safe with it - as I could use it as a weapon if need be! It also ages well , nice brass patina appears on the edges that rub.
Hey Omar! You can‘t even imagine how happy you made me with this video (and your purchase) 🤩 I‘ve bought the same camera including the 23mm month ago in used condition and I LOVE it. It perfectly add to my beloved X-T20 and my X-T2. Thanks so much for keeping on making fujifilm magic content! You was, be and will be one of my most favourite photographers here on KZread!!! 📷📷📷📷

Got one myself. The most beautiful camera around today. And it shoots. I got it with the matching lens when it was discounted $800+. Deal of the century.
Welcome to the club 😀. There were nights i was dreaming of this camera. Then i knew i had to get it. 🎉
CONGRATULATIONS Omar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like you found a very clean copy! Looks good in the graphite. This was a great Video. Your editing is just superb! Juss sharin’. Take care 👍✌🤝📷
Loved it!! Happy for you Omar!!
I truly appreciate the cheeky humor. Thank you for that ✊🏻 Just like you, I loooooove my X-E2 more than any of my other fuji and non-fuji bodies. Something about it’s images are still inexplicably better than newer bodies. Also, ordering my X-pro3 tomorrow, so great timing on this video. Cheers! 📷📷📸

Terrible timing bc the xpro 3 just got discontinued and the new one will release soon lol
Love my XPro-3 but you’re right, I still end up using XT line more. Great to see you and have fun with that bad boy 📷
I get excited when I see that you uploaded a video, please keep it up siiir
Ive had my [you know what] since the year it came out, LOVE it to death. There is one thing I have just discovered recently in regards to the OVF; well most of us know that by sweeping the from toggle lever to the left (towards the lens) you get the mini LCD in the lower left hand corner in both MF and AF, and by pressing in the back dial (don't rede,ber if that is a default operation) you can zoom in to the focus area in that picture-in-picture screen in the OVF setting, with peaking or without, your choice... However, I just discovered that in OVF view if you hold that toggle lever to the right (away from the lens) for three seconds, you get a OVF magnifier element drop in to bring those frame lines to fill the OVF and vice versa. You're welcome :)
Love the editing and humour on this channel :)
Great video Omar. Enjoy the camera! All the best.
Haha love the reveal, a true classic! ❤
oooooh!!!! I'm so excited!!! And jelly too :) I want!
Love you Omar! Your videos are so much fun :) Thanks!
Love your videos! Just bought a XT5. Loving it
If you hold in the EVF/OVF switch to the right while looking through the OVF it will zoom in making it easier for longer lenses. This feature has been removed from the X-Pro 3.
That camera is such a beauty, Omar! I remember it clearly in my head when I was visiting Kyoto, I saw a mother who had a black X-Pro2 with a pancake lens taking some photos of her daughter in a Kimono. At that time I was not even familiar with the Fujifilm camera & lens ecosystem. But since that day I really wanted to own one. Fast forward to now, I own the small X-T20 and have made pretty good use of it. Still happy with the IQ and UX of it to date.
Congrats Omar! The most beautiful color of that camera.
You make the most pleasing and enjoyable videos on KZread... Period
I’ve had the X-Pro2 Graphite & matching 23mm f2 lens for almost 6 years now! It’s a keeper for sure - enjoy yours. 👍🏻
I have a X-Pro3 myself and I love it so much. Fuji does make beautiful cameras.
So happy for you Omar 😎 Great and gorgeous camera indeed 🤩 And why not shooting with style 😉 It is all about pleasure too (and collectible too 🤔😁) Loved your video and comments about it 👌 Enjoy and happy shooting with it.
The ending was amazing 🤩 u rock bro.
That graphite is gorgeous GORGEOUS
Way to go Omar. She’s a beauty.
Just a gorgeous piece. Wow! I’ve owned all of the XE series and the XE3 is still my favorite, XE4 isn’t as much fun nor as easy to shoot with. Love the Pro but as gorgeous as it is it’s too big for a daily carry. Congratulations on your find!
You just made a video of my dream camera! Totally agreed!
Hi Omar. I have been watching your videos on the Fujifilm X-T20 with the 27mm f/2.8 for a while now and it has become my holy grail Thanks to you📷😍
The hybrid viewfinder is a blessing in many cases…such as Sports Photography 🤗
Amaaaazing Omar! I too am waiting in hope for a graphite X-T5, or better yet, X-T50!
Good for you, Omar! I had an opportunity to purchase a new-in-box graphite X-Pro2 with matching 23/f2 at the same time I was deciding whether to sell my black X-Pro2 and buy and X-Pro3. I ultimately went with a dura silver X-Pro3 but I still sigh every time I see a graphite X-Pro2. So, so pretty...
Congratulations on your new camera! Usually don't comment but took nearly the same exact shot / angle etc shot of the Ambrose ship in south street seaport on a film camera
No way! I just ordered the EXACT same camera from mpb. It arrived a couple days ago and was their last one. I chose it over the 3 for a number of reasons and really think I made the right choice. It’s absolutely fantastic so far. It’s the perfect compliment to my big full frame canon I use for most professional work. I might actually be in love with a camera.

Love the little DPReview shout out.
Great show Omar, once again …
that little b-roll hit me on diffrent levels ! :D
Glad to see this video! I was lucky to get a graphite edition a few years back. I won’t trade it for the work! Oh, if you hold the ovf/evf lever to the left for a few seconds, something magical happens!
I just picked up a X-E3 from MPB. Traded two no longer used Sony lenses for it. Overall was a great experience. Trade in prices were very fair and the X-E3 condition was far better than expected. Definitely a better experience than my previous trade ins with B&H and KEH where they didn't honor their initial quotes without me hassling them. Enjoy your new Pro body!
love the "photography is about _ not _" disclaimer. we love ya omar.
Love you Omar!
Great video. So well made. You should have a million subscribers!

Gorgeous. I actually thought in this direction when it was clear it was a used one and on the list should my X-T1 ever crap out on me.
Recently also got one “like new” condition, gorgeous camera ❤
Woow i’m realy want this camera 🎉 Good job bro omar
jajajaja me tenías al vilo Omar !!! Justo andaba viendo una camarita en MPB , pero no es la que tu compraste, es de medio formato! Un abrazo desde Uruguay!!! Que la disfrutes!!!!!
Man, I wish I could get just cameras for the look of them. And yeah, even though I don’t or haven’t shot with rangefinders I always looked into & wanted the exact same model to get the shooting experience & obviously for the 🔥🔥 looks
I was about to buy that specific model on MPB too !!! So you're the one who bought it !!!
I saw one a week ago, I am still considering it. With graphite 23mm. Although I am torn between xpro2 and xe4. Congrats on the new accessory :D stay sharp! Edit: Got the x-pro2 Why didn't I get this sooner?
I’ve been researching this camera for a bit now and when this video was recommended to me…my first thought was “these ads are getting way too personal” since have the same name, spelling and all! Great video tocayo!
Love, love, love the sound effects Thor! ;) I have the XPro3 in Dura Black. I have to admit your camera color looks better IMHO. BTW I added a Gariz camera case to get a little more real estate to hold on to.

I've just bitten the bullet and ordered Fuji's grip for my XP3....
Very cool video and effects !
IT´S A REAL BEAUTIFUL CAM! Have fun with it!
I knew this was a xpro body before you pulled it out. This is def their holy grail line!
Presto! Man appears in suit! Love it !! 🙂
Awesome find!
@Omar, I always enjoy your vlogs, informative and relaxing. I just got hold of a set of Super mint Graphite XPRO2 body kit with Graphite XF23mm F2 CW matching colour lens hood. Shutter count 52.... just like you, this will be a collector's set. I have a Black XPRO2 for my daily use. I agree, it's the holy grail of Fujifilm canera. Once again Kudos 👏
Such a fun video. Thank you Omar, for not taking yourself too seriously. P.S. Was that a guest appearance from the "Canon Cripple Hammer" at the end?;)
Aahhhh, graphite. You go brudda
Wasn’t interested the camera until I saw that it turns into a sledgehammer at the touch of a button..... Neat!
Oh that's even more gorgeous than mine! Congrats!
Omar, you are teasing us like a devil ! Congrats for that gorgeous camera !
I have a Graphite X-T1 in mint, unused condition. Like you, Omar, I haven’t used mine much, relying instead on my X-E2/pancake street combo & X-T2. Not only is the Graphite version nifty looking, but the finish is tougher than the silver or black.
Omar, you are a GOOF BALL!!!😂😂😂Love your videos.
YASSSSSSS Agree 100%. Have XP2 & want the Graphite version so badly.
It's built like a tank. The best camera for me period.

Thanks for not spoiling!! :)
That's one gorgeous camera!
Love my XPro 1-3 bodies! Looking forward to the XPro4. Tip: get a vented lens hood works well when using the OVF view…BBF: First you'll have to put the camera in M (Manual) mode via the front selector switch. Then, you'll have to go to "Instant AF" and select how you want your camera to AF when pressing the "AF-L" button. You can choose between single and continuous focusing. At this point you'll be able to use BBF.
What I like about you is your sense of humor😅😅
Same here Omar. When I decided I wanted an X-pro2. I knew it had to be the graphite edition. I found one used last year for $800 and I snatched it as fast as I could. I love my Graphite X-Pro2 very sexy camera.
Nice. This camera is on my wish list.
Majestic! I just bought the black one, like-new. It goes into production. Sigh.😊
Haahaaa - you should go into comedy, mate! Thanks for the happy content!
Such a beautiful camera!
Great presentation of your clip. Must see...
You forget the XT30 graphite ! Its a nice camera once you reassign the quick menu button ... dont give up on the XT30 Omar !
Got mine nearly a year ago, black version, love it
I love my X Pro3 and black Duratect coating, but your holy grail Fuji looks so damn hot! I want to add a Voigtländer XF mount lens on my camera, but I already own a 23 and 35mm lens 😅
Love Love Your Videos 🚀🚀.. Glad you mentioned MPB is doing better they have cameras that I want but I was afraid to try due to the experience you had 😬💥.. Xt20 or EX-2 here I come 🚀🚀
I guessed X-Pro3 because I thought you were going for that hidden screen vibe and the ability to display the film sim. That graphite edition would look great with an adapted vintage lens. Stick a nifty fifty on there and walk around with a press badge! Love your special effects today Omar! BTW, NYC Auto Show is under way. Not sure which day, but I'm looking forward to my ferry ride from Port Imperial! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Easter holiday!
The X-pro 2 is my favourite camera I have ever owned. Wonderful, tactile camera with a fantastic sensor delivering some lovely images. Upgraded to a x-pro 3 last year after my Xpro 2 became a little slow and general wear and tear started to show its age a little bit and I still not quite at one with it. Even though principally they are the same camera I still feel like I haven’t got used to it or formed a connection with it. The Xpro 2 felt like an extension of my body. Guess i only had the Xpro 3 a year and perhaps haven’t been away with it and spent time just shooting for days straight to get underneath it and get a proper feel for it but yeah the 3 so far doesn’t quite match the heights of the two. Perhaps I don’t agree with some of the design decisions - perhaps it’ too analogue for me (screen being flipped) or it’s just needing the time to spend time with it - I don’t know l! But I highly recommend the Xpro 2. Fantastic camera that is just a joy to use.
Love the look of the x-pro2, had one from a friend for a month and just not made it for me.
I got the x100f. Same hybrid evf/ovf system and same sensor as xpro2 :) cool sensor and cool cameras.
Oh no Omar, you just made my own dream come true. I have been looking for it for a long time. I will still have to wait at MPB. Especially since, after this video, the price will skyrocket. But I'm very happy for you, because it could be me. Take care of him. See you next time for a video follow-up of this jewelry.
It is beautiful!!
Ooooooh!! Suits you Sir!!
okay I'm officially jealous!! that's my dream fuji camera and maybe the most beautiful digital camera ever made..?? I was close to buying one a while ago but someone was a bit quicker...😢 and also the xpro 2 in general has become insanely expensive now...maybe if the pro 4 comes out people will start selling pro 2 more and for lower price, hopefully!
I love the X-Pro2 so much, I bought it twice! LOL! I added a Wephoto hand grip/quick release plate which is excellent on the X-Pro2. It is one of my most favorite camera bodies ever! I do have to disagree with you about lenses though. I use all my primes and zooms on it. It handles them all effortlessly!
