I like to think I'm more than a greaser with a camera. I'm a person who loves creating things. A dude who just wants to pursue a dream.
These past couple of years, I have grown to love everything about photography and making videos. It's been a journey and want to keep pursuing it and bring everyone along with me.
If you love vlogs, talking about tech, learning new things about photography, or just like my style, subscribe! I'll try and keep posting as much as possible!

Great video. Love my xpro2, no camera is perfect anyway. I think you don't need anything more recent even in 2024. Slap on a manual focus prime like the Mitakon 35 and you are set.
Some thing missing in your life, find a woman.
With the latest firmware update the x pro2 can also record 4k video. Fujifilm did implement it later on. Otherwise try out the xe3 or the newer xe4. Both are nice cameras, though i switched from the xe 4 to the xpro 2 and didn't once regret my decision
You're absolutely right, it does have 4k now. At the time I didn't update the firmware to the latest but did now just to troubleshoot a shutter issue and noticed 4k present. I've had a few people tell me about the xe series, I'm gonna have to pick it up eventually and give it a shot.
I'm a Fuji + L-mount shooter, too! The H-series is what I'd shoot if I could afford both X-Pro and another. Hoping to get the X-Pro4 with the HybridVF-optimised Voigtlaender VX27mmF2 and VX35mmF0.9 when they all release, but currently saving for the actually-existing S5IIx since it's smaller than the S1R with phase-detect and ssd recording.
Loooove that camera!
Being able to assign ISO to the front dial in the latest update is huge. Something you should’ve been able to do on release.
I was hoping they would add that function. I just downloaded the new fuji X app so I'm gonna have to update the firmware.
The Fuji camera you wish is the xe3 but same batteries and no wr...
That's been on my list for awhile now. Might have to browse ebay to see if I can find one soon.
im dabating between choosing the xh1 and xt3, maybe a bit toward the XH1 bc it's cheaper, ill have more money to buy lens but i've heard some negative feedback on the xh1's shutter button which is too light so it's hard for the user to know when the camera is focusing or has taken a picture... Can you please give me an advice. Thanks !
You're absolutely right with the sensitivity of the shutter button and pre-focusing. One thing I did to combat that is to map the AF-On button to focus and when I got the shot how I wanted I'd then press the shutter. The T-3 is better with video but h1 has ibis if you need that for on the go recording. In terms of pictures, I'm a fan of the sensor on the h1 as it's warmer and easier to color grade than the t3 but that's subjective. Hope this helps!!
Nice video! Just bought x-pro2 graphite edition to replace my fuji x-t10. Hope this will keep me creative.
I'm sure you'll have an amazing time with it. It's such a solid camera and fun to carry around. Great choice!
great chanel, nice thumbnails
Sick shots man! Hope you are doing well!
Thanks man! I'm doing pretty good. Hope all is well with you too!

Definitely can relate to giving up cameras and lenses that I regret now. Real issue no one talks about 👍
Get the X-H2S
I just subscribed to your channel, I also started my channel as well with only 100. It is hard trying to decide what camera to get with so many brands out there. I decided to get the Fujifilm X-H2S.
Thank you for the sub! Yes it's soo hard trying to find the right camera and it can be overwhelming but I did end up going with the X-H2S after all. I love it and couldn't be happier. I hope you're loving it as much as I am!
Yeah I love my fuji gear . I kinda sorta a tiny bit regret selling my canon m50 and all my lenses. I started my KZread channel off of that camera. The X-S10 started me talking about camera gear though. I don't think I will ever sell the X-S10. I have an X-T4 and an X-H2S. Crazy enough I keep thinking about selling my X-T4. I go back and forth all the time. I may experience Regret. After. Selling . Tech . Again or R.A.S.T.A. lol
You never forget your first, which is why I went back and grabbed three X-T2 so o totally get where you're coming from not wanting to sell your m50. It's tough, you may very well end up regretting get rid of the t-4. I know I could never give up my T-4. It's the perfect travel camera. Don't experience R.A.S.T.A if you don't have to! Lol

I like this! P.G.D.C.
X-T5?
To be honest, that wasn't on my radar which is rare considering I've had the t-2, t-3, and now the t-4. I think I'm pretty content with my setup for now but the t-5 does seem like a beast of camera. Just not something I'm currently needing.
Which other lens would you be considering? Thanks, Chuck
Right now I'm thinking about picking up the 33mm f1.4, a 23mm, or a 56mm. All are great portrait lenses
i totally understand. sometimes I feel the same on my channel. get out and create 📸📸
It really does help to have a group you can shoot with or even just a friend or 2 who have a badass concept. Sometimes that's all you need in order get that spark back.
@@rockabillybuddha agree 1000%
GAS always wins
It's just GAS. In reality, you don't need a new camera, but new subjects...
Well done. You made the right choice going for the XH2S. I also have both cameras and use the XH2S more for my run and gun shoots and xh2 for more photography/ static video shooting.
Yeah the H2s appears just a little bit better of a hybrid over the H2. Both cameras are great but, from what I see the H2 is not as snappy in AF as the H2s. I have an X-S10, X-T4 and an X-H2S. I'm a fan of Fuji also.
for stills, what would you recommend?
@@Jgheiler if you need high MP then go with the H2 but, for me I think the 26mp in the H2s is great. The Autofocus allows for some amazing sharp photos.
That was pretty much the deciding factor for me was the high mp in the h2. It's very overkill for portraits and though I'll be using the h2s as primarily for video, I know I'll use it for photos too.
*Correction: looks like the H2 has the 8k option because of the 40mp sensor but the H2S has a stacked sensor built for video.
I was a little bummed because I didn't realize it was happening and Dante Basco was signing lol
Lol yeah him and Billy West were here but I didn't see them. There's always next year!
Thanks! Subbed
Thank you for subbing!
@@rockabillybuddha Enjoying your channel 💎
Bummer! Never made it down there. Looks like it was a cool space! Maybe I will make a trip down for the new one if that becomes a thing.
Yeah it was such a cool spot but it'll be back bigger and better I'm sure. If haven't, I would definitely check out the other 2 they have, Zuni Studios and the Workshop. Both places are really cool
I've always been interested in the X100V but ultimately went with the XT4 just so I could change lenses. I think the whole system is small and light enough that it's not a big deal to carry around. But X100V definitely wins for ultimate portability and simplicity.
Oh 100% agree. You can't go wrong with the X-T4 and the interchangeable lens is pretty nice. If you want a good travel camera that u can change lenses and won't break the bank, I would check out any of the Fuji X-E line. They're like a mini X-pro and super lightweight. Even more so than the X-T series.
I'm also a Fuji shooter and the S5 caught my interest a couple of months ago and the more I look into it, the more I want it. I mostly shoot photos, though. Do you think it's still a good deal for non-video people?
Oh absolutely! I have had very little issue when it comes to photos. Even though the auto focus isn't the best on the market, you won't really notice too much if you're doing just photos. Even less if you have a native Lumix S lense. The photos are easy to edit, colors are amazing, dynamic range is pretty good (though I haven't pushed it too far yet) and you get that full frame goodness. The S5 really is a great hybrid camera. And a fun camera in general. I highly recommend giving it a try
Nice! Love making short films!
Had mine near mint now for 2 weeks. I have everything non essential turned off; face eye detect, IBIS, etc. It's on S, and this happens even with a manual vintage lens. No battery grip attached. (Waiting for the next check to drop the $120. for the proper Fuji S batteries) What happens is, after about 15 seconds on, the rear screen starts to lag. I can only stop it by half pressing the shutter. This brings it back up to speed. Any experience with this issue?
I have experienced freezing\lagging with my xh1 in the past but haven't really dug into it much mostly because it only happened when the camera was idle. If I remember correctly, it may have something to do with either the 3rd party battery or slow memory card but I'm not 100%. I've read that it could be a power saving feature but I'm not sure how to turn it off
@@rockabillybuddha Its power saving. Add the grip and its better.
I bought a Sony then a Canon and then a Fujifilm. There are certain things I prefer about each one so they each have their specific situation where they get used. It's the most expensive route but i've found some streamlining because Sigma EF lenses for Canon work well adapted to all 3. But I still have dedicated lenses for each system. Annnnd now I want a Fuji GFX 😅
Lol! Then you can totally relate to my GAS! Not gonna lie, I almost pulled the trigger on a gfx myself but couldn't go through with it
@@rockabillybuddha Yeah it's the autofocus and video specs for me. The GFX 100 does all the right stuff but I don't need or want 100 mpx. They need a 50 mpx sensor that does phase detect AF and 4k video.
Yes I know I didn't really show the house too much. It's mostly because I still have a allot to cleanup but since I made this vid, I rearranged allot of stuff. I'll be working on the new place as time goes on so you'll see more in future vids!
I found a "like new" XH1 for $735 US dollars.. I know very little about it but, that price just feels like a steal... Thinking about getting it as a second body / upgrade to my XT30. Thoughts...?
Honestly, if you haven't pulled the trigger and are looking to get more into video for just something that is a bit more sturdier than the XT30, definitely pick this up. If you just need a second body that's cheap and don't really need video, I would go with a Xt2
Fuji gang!!
I understand your feelings, but I actually started getting the hang of F-Log. I made a video on how to use CST (Color Space Transform) in Davinci Resolve and get amazing results! In the other hand, I get it... sometimes you just want something out of the box. My recipe for SOOC video is = ETERNA S -2, H-2, C+1, Sharp-4 NR-3 DR100 4k24p
The main issues that I do have with this camera is auto focus which at times is letdown especially in low light situations.
I completely agree with this! I find myself not recording vlogs at night because the auto focus isn't the best. It was something I didn't really think about when I made this vid but it's definitely an issue the more I use this camera
@@rockabillybuddha I attended wedding photography workshop during the week using this camera the amount of pictures that was out of focus was truly unbelievable than again the venue was extremely dark.
@@Ishijah1 What lens were you using ?
Have you tried shooting F-log yet?
I haven't this time around. I tried using FLog when I bought this camera the first time but wasn't experienced enough to grade it. Might have to try it again to see if I can do it.
It's funny, as I was finishing this vid I got 2 recruiters calling me wanting to set up an interview. Some times things happen for a reason!
Awesome! It's cool to watch how other's approach editing because everyone's creative vision is quite different.
Thank you! I agree, it's interesting to see the creative minds of others.
Cool!
Thanks man!
Not sure why the video came out like it did all shrunk. I'm gonna play around some more and test things out for the next time
All sounds great
great video......!!!! It's really nice!!!✨✨ from JAPAN!
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment 😊
I'll have to check it out! Seems perfect for shooting music videos
Oh for sure! It's definitely my favorite place in Denver
im distracted by sideshow bob lol
Lol not gonna lie, I didn't realize it was on until I started editing 😂
You need the 35mm1.4 for more than the bokeh. Have you ever tried it? 😁. I sold my F2 and have not used the XF18-55MM since. I'm a paid professional portrait/lifestyle photographer @Sufstreet . I still got the 50mmf2 for portraits aswell.
Fair, my review was mostly based on price and my style of shooting. I haven't really tried out the 1.4 outside of testing it in a camera shop but I do eventually plan on picking it up next to do a more thorough comparison. Thanks for watching!
Lovely lens! 😍 glad to meet another fuji user 😍
Love meeting other Fuji users. It's such a great system! Thanks for watching!
