My go-to budget setup used to be a GH5 or GH5s but now you got my rethinking it. This looks amazing. Didn't realize the music videos were shot using the XT-3. I'm slowly investing in EF full frame glass (got a Canon 5D Mark II recently) so I may save this setup in my back pocket for the future.

ah yes those are great cams as well! i haven't had the chance to use them personally but have friends that say great things! i feel like Panasonic is slept on in general tbh. they also have great options with good colors and features at a budget price point that I think for most people will get the job done!

I'm a hobbyist with GAS(gear acquisition syndrome) that likes to play with FUJI cameras for personal projects and I find very helpful and relaxing to watch your videos. Really appreciate your presented options to cheaper gear not just the latest and greatest. Keep the good work, totally love your calm! Cheers.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it

I loved my little xt3. Ended up switching to lumix a few weeks ago though. I’ve created alot of great photo and video work with that camera.

Love to hear that. It's such a great little cam :)

Another excellent video and some solid recommendations. I too have an XT3, then bought a used XT4 at a great price. Next up was the Sigma 18-35 with the XPro ll adapter which works great. Couple of Fuji primes 23 f1.4 and a 35 f2 prime and now perhaps a 50 f2. So Blase, I cannot agree with you more. These earlier Fuji X bodies are a great way to drop into video, and used well, they provide very professional footage. I really do like your straightforward, info rich videos here on KZread. Will be looking forward to more.

Ah thanks so much for the reflections Gregory. Dope to hear you have had a similar experience with Fuji. They are such great, affordable options. Appreciate the encouragement and look forward to continue making videos ✌🏼

I use a similar set-up xt-5 with ef glass! But i primarily use a ef canon 16-35 2.8 and the fx 16mm 1.4 for darker shots. I aslo use an ef zeiss distagon 35mm f2, less budget friendly but i use my ef glass to shoot film! ;) so it’s a win/win. Love the video and totally agree the xt-3 is an amazing machine for the price!

amazing. yeah fuji + ef glass is so nice. cool to hear you have found similar results and really appreciate the feedback!

I absolutely LOVE my XT3 - I personally love adapting lens’s from my old film cameras (Minolta & Mamiya glass) would recommend to anyone. Especially doing cinema work - where manual focus and no IBIS are preferred anyways

Totally agree

I confirm, it is the best kit above the a7iii. I have been working in weddings for 10 years, I have colleagues who work with Sony, honestly the Fujifilm XT3 is above all that range

glad to hear. yeah totally agree as well, especially weddings :)

Love your videos 📹 ❤️. As you know, I have the fujifilm x-s20. I have the Tamron 17-70mm. I can attest, it is an amazing lens. I also have the ttartisan 25mm f2.0. I a. Currently testing low light performance. I think that is a great recommendation for a second camera for me. I was trying to get the camera you have, but realizing, I can complete great work with this camera and a second like it. Such as the t-3, t-4, or a second x-s20.

totally agree. I think the XH2s is nice, but overkill for some folks depending on what they are needing! would encourage you with those options you listed as well

Currently using an XT-3, Viltrox 13 for video (I’m switching from being photography centered to video)

Love that. Yeah can't go wrong with a small, compact, prime lens with the fuji if you know what you are wanting to film :)

MAN I was just saying this to a friend. Fuji first its key for any creator those color profiles change the game.

@@blasepivovar now its 1780$ with 50 1.8 or 35 mm on B&H . great deal !

Yea, good luck with that autofocus from decades past. For photos, I could go for it, but video? You selling people junk. KZread became lazy at making money on Fuji Church.
