Thanks Dan for episode 4! I adopted the Fuji X series with the X-E1 and X-T1, and I am totally glad that I kept both of them as I moved on to other Fuji X and GFX bodies. I still take the '1-series' bodies out from time to time, and they never cease to amaze me. You mentioned weather resistance... my first ever photo workshop was last December, and I manged to fall in very deep water and submerge my X-H1 and 70-300 lens for about 6 seconds. (Sadly there were witnesses to my stupidity.) The camera body objected within a few minutes, and the lens kept working for several hours. But the next day the lens was working again and the body came back to life after spending a few hours sitting in the sun. Amazing, and none of the people in the workshop that saw me take the plunge could believe that both the body and lens survived such abuse.

Hi Pat, thanks so much for Sharing your story! I have a friend who fell in up to his chest in a glacier stream with his X-T1. The camera was fine but his non-weather sealed 56mm lens was full of water. I loaned him a different lens for the rest of the trip and he took the 56 home and stuck it in a bag of rice. Six months later he pulled it out and it worked fine, although you can still see the glacial silt inside the lens. 😆

These cameras take more than expected!!! I was introduced to the XT3 and own now an XT4. The XT4 and associated lens felt from the tripod (all extended legs) into the ground during shoot. It happens at the end of a 12 hour shooting period and humans do make mistakes..! Got a few shots next, just to check the consequences - apparently nothing...I was very curious. Just my chance I had for the following shoot to clean the sensor, as it was dirty beyond acceptable, but nothing related to the fall. Camera body and lens were under Fuji maintenance and additionally to sensor cleaning, I request a thorough check - both (lens and body) are perfect and exactly as day 1, when out of the box. Just facts! Cheers

Great story. I use to be a trained cyclist myself, and did tours around Denmark in my youth, but in my case with a film camera. The Canon AE1❤.

What an amazing year and a lot of time on a bike. I've hiked vertical mile switchbacks in the Cascades before I can't imagine (or don't want to) cycling those switchbacks on that Romanian highway. One of the most appealing factors in the Fuji ecosystem is their continued updates and support of these X Series bodies and lenses. Thank you for your explanation on why it's easier to update these mirrorless cameras. I just figured the other vendors were focused on their next big product.

Hey Bob, thanks for your comment. I do love riding those kinds of routes, and the Transfagarashan highway is definitely one of the great mountain roads of the world. And yeas, the firmware updates are indeed one of the neatest aspects of the Fujifilm system. I've heard the product managers talk and they want people to enjoy their cameras for years, and not feel that they have to keep buying a new one every year. I like this mentality. It reminds me of having a favorite musical instrument that you love and use for many years.

Another enjoyable, entertaining, and informing journey through Fuji Time. The era of the X10 I was not familiar with. It was very interesting to hear about the compact mighty X T10, & the auto focusing system, that the Fuji 1 later adopted. I was happy with my X T 1 at that time, it fit me perfectly! Your adventure Boat Trip was certainly interesting. You and Fuji were a great match, helping and learning from one another!! Congratulations on your article in Outdoor Photography!! That was fantastic!! I think I remember the article, Aug 2015. It is certainly helpful to learn more about the different cameras with your journey through Fuji Time!

I watched now all the episodes since this one here, starting from the beginning. Your way of combining gear talk with actual travel experiences is very inspiring for me, as I also have my X-T1 and somewhat thinking about selling it for an X-T2 or even X-T3. Watching your trips and the great photos you've shot, I feel like it's not about the gear as standalone, but more about the experiences that you connect with it. That leads me to the thought, that I'd rather keep my X-T1 and better spend my money for nice trips with friends and family. Thanks for the inspiration about Romania as well. This not-possible-to-spell mountain road somewhat kept my attention and I should place it on my bucket list. Greetings from Germany!

Hello Dr. Wurst. Thank you very much for your thoughts. Yes, although the improved technology of the newer cameras can matter, what is more important is the skill, technique and overall familiarity of the user for whatever tool they're using. So, while the X-T2 and X-T3 are indeed more capable than the X-T1 for shooting some kinds of subjects, there's no reason you cannot still continue to make great looking images, if indeed you're still satisfied with how it performs. And yes, the other huge thing is getting out there into the world, and putting yourself in places and in front of subject matter that truly inspires you. That's a good way of putting it: often times the best money spent is not on new cameras, but on nice trips. Romania is an interesting place, and there is a lot of German history there. The Transylvanian Saxons built the fortified churches and used them as front line defenses against the constantly invading Ottoman armies during the late Middle Ages. Even today, there are many German families who have relatives or vacation homes in Transylvania. That's how we became interested in Romania, one of our German friends told us that her parents were actually from Transylvania and her cousins still had a house there, where our friend would vacation when she was younger. You can see more photos from our Romania trip here: adventures.danbaileyphoto.com/bikepacking-in-transylvania

Great series Dan! I can attest to the benefits of Fuji mirrorless cameras. I began my photographic journey shooting slide film a Canon E1-n with their L series zoom lenses. Great gear, but heavy and large. My shoulders likely still have furrows carved in them from heavy shoulder bags and backpacks. But they did shoot great in all kinds of weather. I shot slide film back the, and it was mostly Fujifilm. I loved the saturated colors, especially Velvia exposed at ISO 40, or minus 1/3 stop of light. Colorful, contrasty, superfine grain. At that ISO, a sturdy tripod (read “heavy”) added to the weight of my photo kit, which did not diminish when I switched to Canon’s 5D digital family of cameras. Many calendars came and went, and I grew older and slower. I began to look at lighter, digital camera gear. I wanted small form factor, light weight, and capable of the vivid colors I loved so much from my Velvia days. I also wanted high ISO ability, because the tripod was also burdensome. After much research and review of many makes and models, I opted for a Fujifilm X-E2, and a began to grow my family of Fuji lenses. Accustomed to zooms, I felt pretty happy with the 18-55 and the 55-200. What a huge reduction in weight and bulk! I could carry this small kit afield all day in a smallt was exposed to melted, light bag. I left the tripod at home because the high ISO performance and OIS negated the need for it. My Fujifilm collection of cameras and lenses grew, and then shrank again as I’ve pared my kit down to what I like and use most: an X100F (my favorite and go anywhere / everywhere camera) tutors me in creativity with it’s single, flexible 35 mm ffe lens. An X Pro 2 with the three original primes (18f2, 35f1.4, and 60f2.4) are a great walkabout and travel kit for me. An X-T2 with four Fujicrons is my outdoor, foul weather kit. I had the XT-2 with me at the Grand Canyon during a “Snow-mageddon” event last year where it eventually froze up on me. The falling snow it was exposed to all day melted then as temps fell again the water froze rendering the top deck dials unable to turn. No fault of the camera and it worked just fine once the liquid dried off. The X100F, carried in a warm, dry jacket pocket, saved the day and gave me some of the best images of the snow mantled Grand Canyon the entire trip. I still have the X-T20 & original zooms as well. I just love them so much and they are so light, portable and versatile. All of my camera bodies now share the same sensor, and are almost identical in the dial and button arrangements, making the transition from camera to camera effortless. I shoot entirely in those amazing JPEG modes, and have created some of my own custom setting. I edit everything in Snapseed, on my iPhone or iPad, and I’m more than satisfied with the final image. To all the creative geniuses at Fujifilm, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have kept photography by camera alive! I’ll never not own a camera, and I’ll never own anything but Fuji cameras and lenses. And thank you Dan for getting the word out about Fuji gear and it’s outdoor capabilities. You helped my navigate my GAS stage, and your images really helped make me aware of the quality available in the small bodies and lenses. It has changed my photography experience immensely!

Dan, I'm watching all your videos though I don't always comment. This time, though, I feel I must since you're talking about the little guys, i.e., the X-T10/20/30. My first experience with te Fujifilm X System was with the X100s, probably the biggest case of "I don't need it but boy do I want it" photo purchase of my life. I was shooting Nikon dSLRs at the time, and I bought that little Fujifilm camera a whim. I was shocked to see the quality of the images I was able to get out it. This was definitely not a toy! The X100s accompanied me as a second camera on most of my photo trips, and sometimes as the only camera I took. By late 2019, it became more and more difficult for me to carry my Nikon D750 and the FX lenses, so after researching alternatives, I naturally looked to Fujifilm since I so enjoyed (and still enjoy) the X100s. The X-T30- had been introduced a short time earlier, and the first time I picked it up, it was love at first sight! The image quality is just amazing. so going to an APS-C sensor was no problem at all. And the Fujifilm lenses? No complaints! Don't get me wrong: I loved my Nikon dSLRs, but my gear weighs a fraction of what it used to and the image quality is awesome! However, this is only part of the story. The other part is that Fujifilm cameras are simplify more fun to pick up and use than any other camera I have ever used. Coming as I do from the film days and SLRs (a Minolta SR-T-303 in my case), the way my X-T30 works is incredibly intuitive. The physical dials make all the difference to me. So enjoyable has this experience been (and still is) that I tell people that while I may have DOWNsized, I UPgraded. Thanks for this series of videos. They are a lot of fun, and I love the photos you include. Keep yup the good work!

Dan, thanks for such interesting videos. It’s good to hear your experience with the various Fuji cameras. I have an X-T2 that I bought about a year ago. I was basically switching over from a Pentax DSLR and a Sony a6000 both of which I only really used on Auto mode. Anyway, I really like the X-T2 and the Trans 3 sensor and I am leaning to shoot more using manual settings. I recently wanted to get a Fuji with the trans II sensor and didn’t want to spend too much, right now Fujis on the used market are so expensive. I found an X-T 10 for I felt a decent price and purchased it. I have not had a chance to really shoot with it but was worrying maybe I should have spent a little more and got the X-T1. But after watching this video of yours I feel like maybe the X-T10 is a fine option since the sensors are the same and they provide the same image quality. So thanks for sharing all that info about the two cameras. I think what I really need to do now is invest in some Fuji lenses with autofocus. I currently only have 3rd party, manual focus prime lenses for the Fuji’s. I am going to look into your site more and your books and courses. Thanks again. Juli

Both great lenses. The 18-55 surprised everyone when out came out, and the 55-200, although not the fastest lens in the system, is still a very good lens! I was using it quite a bit last year before I got the 70-300.

I am a late adopter of the Fuji system. I got the X-T1 in 2019 used, with the 18-55 and 55-200. My X-T1 was stolen from inside my car. I found a really good deal on an X-E1 for $170! When I saved some more, I bought the X-T2. I actually still miss the X-T1, the x-trans2 was amazing! But… the x-trans 1 on the x-E1 was sooo good! Last year I lost my camera bag, where I lost my x-e1 and all my Fuji lenses. Now I still have the X-T2 and bought the 16-80 f4. Planning to get the 70-300 when i save up enough. But the X-E1 is irreplaceable. The quality of that sensor and the images it produced was so good!

Whew....What a story! I actually pulled out my X-E1 the other day, and recently looked back at some of my older images from that camera (see in Ep. 2: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGWr2aNwnqSsibg.html), and I agree, even though the camera performance was pretty primitive compared to the X-T1 and later models, the images were simply gorgeous. Personally, I don't think they're necessarily better or worse than images from later models, because each new generation, especially the X-T2 had much better color rendition with certain red and magenta tones, that the original X-Trans sensor had trouble with. That said, just as with film, perfect reproduction is hardly the main ingredient for great images. It's often those imperfections that contribute to the specific style and beauty of things like art, photos and music. Either way, I absolutely love the images I've gotten from every one of my X Series cameras, but I've also loved every one of those cameras, and feel that each one had a special kind of magic, as well as a collection of memories that will forever be attached to them.

if Fujifilm is watching the comments.... then please bring a camera just for photographers only. no video features needed! what we need it is excellent low light capability similar to full framed sensors... 26mp size is more than enough for a small sized sensor. the pixel density would only decrease if you increase the megapixel size i believe. someone correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks for your comment and your feedback. Yes, in theory, a higher pixel count does mean smaller pixels, which can have less light gathering ability, but with BSI sensor technology and advanced image processing, this is becoming less of an issue with today's cameras. Models like the X-T3 and X-T30 do have video, but they're much more geared towards still photography, and then offer very good low light performance.

At some point, I stopped worrying about pixels and noise, and instead focus on things like light, moment and being in the moment in my current location. That's what photography means to me. Slightly less noise, that you only see when you put your face up close to the image, is hardly the deal breaker for any of my cameras. What kinds. of subjects do you like to shoot?

I have the most experience with shooting travel, but I also started shooting concerts, events and a bit of portraits.

For me, the great thing about the X-T10 (and the X-T20 & X-T30) is that they offer a less expensive backup camera for my X-T1 (and X-T2 & X-T3 as I moved through the Fuji lineup). I don't have to buy two (more expensive) X-T1s (or X-T2s or X-T3s, etc.); I can always get the same quality image on the smaller camera if something should happen to my "bigger" main camera while I'm out shooting.

Hi Frank, thanks so much for your comment. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying my X Series eBook. Between the X-T5 and X-H2: For the most part, both of those cameras are identical in terms of sensor, processor, settings and specs. The X-H2 does have slightly higher video specs (higher bit rate) and with the faster CFexpress Type B memory card and larger buffer, it's able to shoot many more images at higher frame rates. For example, using the mechanical shutter at 15 fps, the X-T5 is rated to capture 119 JPEG frames, 39 compressed RAW frames and 19 uncompressed RAW frames before the buffer fills up. When this happens, the camera will stop shooting until it finishes writing the images from the buffer to the card. This can take a few seconds or more. At 10 fps, though, the X-T5 jumps to 1,000+ JPEGs and 56 compressed RAW frames. In the same configuration, the X-H2 is rated to capture 1,000+ JPEG frames, 1,000+ compressed RAW frames and 400 uncompressed RAW frames. So, if you're shooting huge umber of images at very high frame rates, then the X-H2 would definitely have the advantage. However, in most situations, weddings included, this is not an issue. I shoot action with the X-T5 and I've never had an issue. If I can't nail my scene in 119 frames, then the camera isn't the problem. So, in practical terms, my advice is to look at body style and try them both out at a store. Which of these two cameras fits and feels better and more familiar in your hands? If you love the overall feel and style of the X-T4, then I would go with the X-T5. The controls are essential the same on those two models. However, if you really like the flip-out screen on the X-T4, or if you prefer the "DSLR style" body, then you might look at the X-H2, because that's what kind of screen it has. The X-T5 has the original 3-way tilt LCD screen, which many photographers prefer for shooting stills. Here's another main difference: Since many of the settings like shutter speed, capture, focus control and ISO are not tied to dials on the X-H2, you have more options to save certain shooting parameters to a custom setting. For example, you can create a custom setting that has a specific shutter speed, aperture, ISO or AF-S/AF-C setting. On the X-T5, you can save any of the creative/AF/Shooting settings like you can on the X-H2, but not those shooting parameters like shutter speed and ISO. If that's of any concern. It may not be, but it's something to think about. Hope that helps.

Hey Dan, I just recently upgraded from a XT-10 to an XT-2. Everything about the XT-10 seems inferior, and I always struggled with the XT-10s frustrating auto focus using the 18-55 lens. I'm wondering if there's any reason to keep it since they seem close in form and function? I've thought about putting a pancake prime on it, but even then is that better than an XT2 with a 35mm f2.0 for quick indoor shooting and street photography. Any reason to keep an XT-10 in conjunction with the XT2? What would you do?

I actually gave mine to a friend. It does make a good backup camera, but that being said, my X-T2 never let me down, and so if you want to simplify your life, then I guess there's no real need to keep it. That's my 2 cents, anyway.

That's a tough one. They are very similar cameras and have most of the same features and functions. The X-T10 was a more expensive camera when it came out, however, the X-T100 is a newer model, so it has a higher megapixel sensor and slightly better image quality. Regarding lenses, both the 16-50 and 18-55 are very good, and I've used both of them quite often. Overall, the 18-55 is a better quality lens and has OIS image stabilization. I have not used the X-T100, but I have used the X-T10 extensively and was always very impressed with its performance and function. Given that they're both very similar, if you have the chance to try them both out, or at least hold them and see which body style and lens you like better, that might help narrow it down. Again, since they're both very similar, I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

How do you find the 16 50mm lens next to the XT10? Is it suitable for portraiture?

The X-T1 and X-T3, plus the X100s. Plus bicycle racing I shoot roller derby, for that I’m still using a Canon 6D, full frame “seems” better at 6400:ISO, with the Canon 200 f/2.8, if I’m on the infield of the track I’ll put on a 100 f/2. There is one track that is poorly lit, for that one I go back to my Fuji’s, mostly with the 90mm f/2 and use a Godox AD200 off in a corner . Always have a 35, 28 and 14mm handy. Love the channel.

Thanks for your feedback. Sounds like you’ve got a very capable setup for the stuff you shoot. I’ve been curious about that Godox AD200. Maybe I’ll get one this year!! How are you liking it?

Dan, the AD200 paired with the Xpro-f (and the X2T-C) trigger works great. I use the extension head, so I keep the main unit low to the floor with the head high up on the light stand. I’d recycle time was very quick, but I don’t think it ever dumps all its charge when I cover a derby game.

Good to know. I started using that new Fuji EF-20 flashes and the wireless commander last year. Great system, but having used the old Photoflex TritonFlash a number of years back, I’m really curious about the new generation of compact, but very powerful strobes. You can do a lot with those kinds of units. Like I said, I might have to pick k e up this year.

A lot of self praise and self promotion

Remember, there's no "I" in the word "Me." BTW, are you a Fuji shooter?
