Hi Dan, great contents as usual. Thank you so much for sharing your journey of the X series. I really love the snow shots and one more thing i do not know how you bikers ride in this weather. This is truly oustanding . As a wedding photographer I used to be a canon shooter and carrying two bodies with various lens and my bag. In 2013 I had a really bad motorvehicle accidents and I had severe injuries in my lower back and my right shoulder. Thus it made it very painful to keep shooting in my condition and I was hating wedding photography. Then in 2014 I bought the Fuji XT1to use along with my canons. I was intrigued with how small the camera was and how light it was. It was an eye opener for me given my condition. In 2015 I bought the Fuji Xt2 with the 16-55 f2.8 and I slowly began to sell my Canon gear and bought a second body of Xt2 along with the 50-140 f2.8. In 2015 I switched completely to fuji xseries and never looked back. I rediscover the joy of Photography and feel so liberated as you mentioned.I have love Fuji since the film days and now I get to revive the film simulations like the good old days.What a joy!!! It's truly an addiction. Take care Dan.

Yes, it’s easy to get lost in processing RAW, because that what serious photographers are supposed to do, but the way I see it with Fuji, why not take advantage of their almost 90 year history of experience with color? That’s what the film sims let you do, as opposed to endlessly sliding sliders and hoping you can get something that’s almost as good. Anyway, take care and keep having fun with your Fuji!

I love your storytelling...a true photojournalist. I too have an X10, bought new from B&H in 2012. I was just perusing and came upon the Fujifilm X10 and bought it on a whim...for the design. My point & shoot, everyday carry was the excellent Canon Powershot S95...which I still have and use. But the X10 seduced me. It looked like a baby Leica. I love the size and controls. That lens is a work of art. Fujifilm film emulations are the kicker. I live in Manhattan and the X10 is my street camera of choice...along with the S95. Quality manual Point & Shoots are a dying breed. Get them while you can. Frankly I don't understand today's throw away tech. Spend $300 on a pair of Noise-Cancelling headphones and toss them when the battery goes. Buy a $1,000 camera and kick it to the curb when the new model arrives. On this dreary winter day in NYC, I have my Canon S95 on me and I've already shot 85 images. When I get home I'll pop the SD/microSD card into my computer LG V60 phone (4 years old with no intention of replacing) and upload the images.

Others have made the point that DSLR's can be intimidating for the subject. People love being part of the X10 experience. I considered buying the X100 when it came out, but I really wanted a zoom for travel and street photography. The X10 is perfect for that...and it looks so darn great.

At any rate, the X-T10 is a great little camera, mine saw very heavy use for a few years, and I love how small and light it is, and yet so capable. When Fuji launched the X-T10, they actually gave it a faster, more advanced autofocus system than the Flagship X-T1 had at the time, although they later updated the X-T1 to match with a firmware update. And yes, the new 70-300 is such an amazing lens, and made even more powerful with the teleconverters and the little MCEX extension tubes! Have tons of fun with your little Fuji and keep in touch!

I attended a Fujifilm photography class you guest hosted in Glazer's camera Seattle that year. I later on 'upgraded' through a series of fujifilm cameras and lenses. Recently went through a dull patch in life where creativity was in the dumps. Sold off most gear - Xt4, xt3, all my zoom lenses, bigger primes etc and picked up a X-e4.

Dear Dan, Thanks for the interesting story of you journey with Fujifilm X Series cameras. You asked for our own stories, so here is mine. In the 1980s my wife and I each had an Olympus OM10, she shot slides, I shot print film. Later when we switched to digital we had a number of small bridge cameras and in 2006 we bought a Nikon D40. When we went on holiday to Spain we used 2 bridge cameras and the D40 in the UK. But we began to be dissatisfied with the quality of the indoor photographs when we went on holiday, we needed better low light performance. My research led me to believe that a larger sensor was needed, and thought of either micro four thirds or APS-C, and it was narrowed down to an Olympus Pen or a Fuji X-series camera. Then our local camera shop had a sale and they were offering a Fuji X-A2 with the XC 16-50mm zoom lens for less than 300 UK pounds, so I bought it, the date was October 2016. I was delighted with the camera and the quality of the pictures, all the things about the Fuji system were true, the film simulations etc. However I felt I really needed a viewfinder, many of the Fuji cameras cost more than I was willing to pay, but then I discovered the refurbished products offered by Fujifilm, and I bought the X-E2S, this was April 2018, I also got the XC 50-230mm zoom and the XF 27mm prime. The cameras and the lenses were all fantastic. In January 2020, with the pandemic and looking for something to do, I bought an XT20 and the 18-55mm zoom in order to make some higher quality videos. Again the camera and lens were excellent, though I prefer the XC 16-50 mm zoom over the 18-55mm because it is so much lighter in weight. I have all three Fuji bodies still, I will not sell any of them, and all the lenses that I mentioned. I also use the Olympus lenses from the OM10s and get good results from them, my favourite being a f1.8 50mm Zuiko lens. For the future I might buy an XE-4, I do prefer the rangefinder style of the XE-2S over the pentaprism style of the XT-20. Having enjoyed your "journey" I shall make a start on watching some of your other videos. Thanks again.

How do yall compare x10 with x-t2? I’m now torn between getting one of the two. I have no background in using cameras other that moments of shooting using smartphones and I don’t know what to pick! I am to use it for a photography class, just a beginner uni subject and there is no specified specs told.. I like the look and simplicity(in) of x10 but at the same time feel the x-t2 will be much useful though as a beginner I’m afraid it’ll take th fun and make the start of my photography too… over..¿ like digitalized- i mean, like tweak to assumed perfection(you know like artificial?) because of too much freedom on settings.. no that it is that bad but.. I paint for fun and end up studyingnit in school, learned techniques etc. with every corner of my artwork inspected, i lost interest on it as a “joyful” thing to do and only do it now only when necessary… something like that?

I wish I was old enough to enjoy shooting with a variety of Fujifilm films; I didn't have the funds when I was younger to afford shooting film a lot. So what compelled me to buy into Fuji-X was holding an X100S in my hands. The controls were so awesome, and then I tried the hybrid viewfinder. Later I discovered how awesome Fujifilm film simulations were and didn't mind that the raw converters for X-Trans sensors sucked back then.

I'd just tell them that I shoot JPEG and outsource me colors to Fujifilm! 🤣 What Fuji do you use now, and what do you like to photograph?

I keep preaching the same message Dan. I personally started shooting film in 1972 with Nikromat EL and a micro Nikor 50mm lens. Developed my own everything and learned a lot. Fast forward to 2017 and I was tired of the weight and size of the DSLR. I was planning a trip to Switzerland and wanted to keep a photo journal of the trip a purchased the tiny Sony X100 IV. The little camera went everywhere with me and it was liberating not being burdened with bulk and weight anymore. It took very good pictures but was a capable camera with a 28-70 zoom. I wanted to use interchangeable lenses and discovered the Fuji X Series cameras. WOW. I purchased the XS 10 and it is as close to a pocket camera with interchangeable lenses that one can get. I love the Film simulations including the new simulations too. For me the XS 10 is all I need to enjoy my trips and have the camera easily accessible. I found going smaller LIBERATING.

I took mine to a 3 week trip to Europe and the on & off switch broke on the first day of my vacation. Smartly I carried a backup, an all weather Nikon w 100 and it did a good job. Not as good as the Fuji, but it worked. Sent x 10 back to Fuji and they fixed it.

David, I agree, the X10 still takes great photos! I took mine out a few times last winter and had a ton of fun with it, remembering what it was that made me fall in love with that little camera. I had mixed feelings about the lens "turn-on" function - I liked the style and feel of that control, and I never had any issues with it, but the design was such that I couldn't hold and turn the camera on with one hand. You need two hand to turn it on.

I purchased the X100 when it was released in the spring of 2011 to use as a back up to my Canon DSLR system. I was looking for a high quality small, light camera for biking. In June of 2011, we did a 5 day cycling tour of Prince Edward Island. I took my Canon 7D with an 18-135 travel zoom and my X100 and shot with both for the trip. When I reviewed the photos from the trip, I found that I preferred the images from the X100. I sold all my Canon equipment and pre-ordered the X Pro 1 and 3 lenses when introduced by Fuji in early 2012. I used the system for a hiking trip to Iceland in June 2012 and was completely satisfied with the images I got from my Fuji equipment. Since 2012, I have owned several Fuji cameras and lenses and currently own and use an XT 3 with the 55-200 and 16-80 zooms, an X Pro which I use with the 16, 23, 35 and 90 Fujicron primes and X100V. As an avid hiker and cyclist, I am sold on the carry-ability of the Fuji system which in my opinion produces wonderful JPegs. I also feel that the Fuji cameras provide a great shooting experience.

I started out with Nikon, lugging around a D700 with a battery grip at events which was taking a toll on me. When I decided to take the plunge into mirrorless, I looked at the Fuji line but was initially intimidated with the dials and layout. I opted for Olympus but was not always content with its low light performance but loved it for its built and resistance. I needed something that was a couple of stops cleaner so I decided to try out the Fuji Xe3 and was hooked. I love this little camera. I recently acquired the Xpro 2 because I wanted something that could withstand the elements and to give the OVF a try. I haven’t abandoned Olympus because of the size and weight factor of their lenses not to mention the amazing rendering. Now that the Om1 is here these two systems will live, side by side and in harmony in my camera bag for years to come.

That is a great story Dan. I used to really be into photography and used to lug around a huge bag full of gear whenever my wife and I went anywhere. My back really paid the price. I went from Minolta X300, X500, X700, XD2, and CLE, to a Pentax SF2, then went digital with an Olympus E-10, adding a *ist D when they came out. Then later I switched systems again and went to a Panasonic GH2 (which I still have). I was very tempted to get the X20 as it reminded me of the Minolta CLE. But I didn’t have the money at the time. Eventually I moved away from relying on time, location and weather to be creative and moved over to making music and animations which I can do anytime no matter the weather etc. I have to be creative and I was finding photography was just not satisfying that itch anymore. Now I hardly ever take photos and use either my phone or OSMO Pocket for everything. I no longer feel ruled by a huge camera bag, so I totally know what you mean about feeling liberated.

@@DanBaileyPhoto Hey Dan… I love the OSMO Pocket. I have the first gen version, and it got better in the second gen. It is a fixed lens so you have to think in terms of being limited by that. I would say though that having the gimbal really shows how much sharpness you normally lose when handholding a camera. It shoots in Raw as well as jpg so you can get great images from it. I really like the video quality from it too. The camera can also be connected via WiFi to a phone with an attachment, to allow remote shooting with the live image on your phone. It can also use a wired connection to do the same via USB. I’d say the weakest part of it is the sound recording as it is mono only and adding an external mic is spotty as the USB to 3.5mm DAC isn’t the most reliable and is very picky about the mic connected to it. The second gen may have some of the sound issues fixed. If I could feed in a stereo signal via my iRig Stream it would be perfect for recording myself playing guitar. If you ever get a chance to try one out you should. It won’t out shoot any of your other gear, but having that gimbal it a great addition to something that will fit in your pocket.

I bought an XE2 with the 18/55 on it as a bag camera. A mate asked me to photograph an A0 poster for him we put the JPEG on the computer, he never altered a thing, printed 10 A0 posters out for a company, so sharp and clear and the colours amazed me. My FF Nikons went for good. I now use an XT3 and an X100V, they do what I ask of them, and they are fun to use. Bring on the next episode Dan.

Even though my camera has insurance that covers theft I still noticed that I hesitate a lot to take my camera with me, especially when I'm also going to drink and have fun (I actually had a little Canon EOS M before and it got stolen), I see my X-T3 as more of a work tool than anything, so I decided to look at digicams, I wanted a cheap old point and shoot camera, with all the imperfections that came with it, merely so that I could always have a camera with me and avoid getting the feeling that I missed a shot because I didnt have my camera with me. Imagine my surprise when I learned that Fuji had one that was not only great but was also cheap, AND that there's someone selling one right next to me even though Fuji isn't even popular here and the camera must've originally costed a fortune here, I was still in doubt of whether I was going to buy it or not, but thanks to you I'm definetely going to buy it as soon as I come home from the trip I'm making to my hometown of Rio de Janeiro.

However, for a lot of people, they were the gateway drug into the Fuji system.

Scooped up the X10 at a bargain price just before they discontinued. What a steal. What you didn’t mention is the incredible short zoom lens that is tiny and covers almost all shooting situations. I use it mainly in macro mode. You just can’t take a bad image with it.

As I said in this video, it was my first mirrorless camera, and I loved it I had a wonderful time with it. That's what matters. Regarding sensors, the new image capture technology allows for incredible image clarity and color reproduction, but a lot of that is in the software of the camera. The Fujifilm cameras in particular do an amazing job in this regard, because they have applied their 90+ year legacy with film and color to the cameras with the film simulations. In fact, that's the exact thing that brought me back to Fuji in the first place and fall in love with the X10 - the awesome colors. Between the different film looks and the other in-cameras controls, like highlight and shadow tone, you should be able to get results with your X10. What kind of subject do you like to shoot?

Nice story. ❤❤

You know, we get so conditioned to thinking that we need the latest technology, but Fujifilm designed the X Series to last. Even though they continue to put out new models, they want people to use and enjoy them for years, even well past their sell date. That was a really good find, and I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your new/old X10 so much. I went out walking with my X20 yesterday afternoon. It was the first time I'd used it in years, and I had a lot of fun with it, remembering what it was I loved above that little camera. I can see myself starting to give it even more attention this year. Anyway, thanks again for your comment, and have fun with your little Fuji!

Hi Dan, very similar to my self , many years ago i was shooting with film and Hassblad cameras ,i hadmy own studio and darkroom and loved evey moment of it. i saw teh start of the digital age about to srt and realised that for me the days of film were about to decine, sold all my gear and went out to look at what was available. a few years went by and tried many of the early offerings . Eventually i decided to buy a Canon model but while i was looking i met a rep who was using a fuji camera Cant remember the model but i was amazed at some of the photos he had taken the cost at that time was too much for me at that time but for ages after i had ma hankering for a fuji. .i bought one and from there the models have changed for me Xt20 , xt2, and noe Xt4 and a lovely set of lenses .

one of the thing mirrorless is so small is becasue of the battery so small and these camera consumes way more power than DSLR.

@DanBaileyPhoto

2 жыл бұрын

That is partly true. The battery size between the X-T4 and my the Nikon EN-EL1 isn’t that much different. The NP-126 Fuji batteries are pretty small, though, which means it’s easier to carry more spares. Also, battery optimization in mirrorless camera has improved over the years. However the size difference is due mostly to the lack of a pentaprism on mirrorless cameras.

So awesome that you have a seemingly brand new X10, it's still a really fun and capable camera! I'm sure you'll have a ton of fun with it, and yes, definitely try out the Velvia film sim.

Hi Dan Great videos, blown away with your craft. I owned a X10 but got it stolen from Croatia. The insurance payout enabled me to replace the X10 with a X20 and Have loved it ever since. I have always wanted to have one of my images printed but wondered if X20 was capable of delivering a professional images. Seeing your work I can see it is not about the camera its about the user experience and ability. I did however move to a XPro 1 thinking this would give me a better chance to turn out something of professional quality. Love my 2 Fuji's and hope that with practise I can finally print work I will be happy to frame, thats something I can do having my own picture frame business.

Michael, thanks for your comment and your feedback! I'm glad to hear that you're having so much fun with your Fuji cameras! To answer your question: Yes, I generally use the same SD cards in all my cameras. I do have a mix of different cards with different write speeds, but I've always preferred the SanDisk Extreme Pro cards. UHS-II cards will give you the fastest performance, which is critical when shooting large bursts, like when you're shooting action, capturing lots of RAW files, or when filming video, although I've gotten great performance with the regular UHS-I 95 MB/s cards. Keep in mind, if you're not shooting high frame rates of video, then you don't necessary need an ultra fast card. Hope that answers your question!
