Does it work well with the fuji X app?
Which recipe?
“ I eat ur liver wit Lima beans”
Controversial decision ahead: I switched from xt2 to xt30 ii due to a few reason's. Few words of context here: im a pro portrait, street and fine art photographer. My main bull for work is xh2. Yet i needed a camera for casual shooting, the one that is somehow small and not intimidating. I like to portrait people's emotion and the feel more relaxed when looking at big guy with small camera. I know the rule that customer expects big gun for the price he pays. Thats when the xh2 go to work. But xt2 doesn't had what i needed. Better movie and built-in options and BSI CMOS sensor. Lack of dual slots ? Fully agree its no suitable for long sessions of shooting like wedding. Yet you can carry other SD cars with yourself. Heat managment ? Correct, it's for short film shooting, not long interviews. The quality of build. Well xt-xx series are not always perfect i must agree. Yet it can be used for pro work. Depends on your style, workflow and needs. ❤
I don't find your decision controversial as you have xh2 for more demanding tasks, so it aligns with my thought not having xt30II as solo camera for pro work. As a second compact camera this little fuji is great. Thanks for sharing this!
This is a digital camera ? I’m looking for a 90’s type film camera .
yeah although it looks retro it is digital camera with aps-c sensor inside
I miss the X-T30MK1... I think I might get the X-T30ii as a backup body..
yeah, as a backup or traverl camera it is great
Wow, one of the best pov street photography videos ive seen. Thanks for the hard work man! You just got a new subscriber
Thank you, I appreciate that!
what lens ?4
It was XC15-45 and later in the video 27mm f2.8 I linked it in the description
@@ShotsByJev beautiful pics with the xc 15-45
Yes, it is pretty capable lens!
@@ShotsByJev I have the same set up as yours, but my 27mm f2.8 is from ttartisan
The going price for most used Fuji camera, especially in Canada, borders on absurd.
We pay for our love for some brands
Can you please add in your gear section what spare batteries do you use (Newell) or any recommended ones?
You are right, I use Newell batteries and those are great!
Did you just call the nikon zf "modern looking" 😅 it's identical to nikkor/nikon slrs
No, I meant except Nikon Zf
The X-E1 & 2 with a 27mm 2.8 is the same size as the X100 series . The 27 does stick out smidge more. I got rid of my X100 because of this
Please don't stop do it for other episodes also so many people also learn from it.if possible explain your thoughts on why they use this kind of composition with context and once again thankyou
Thanks for your thoughts and the support!
One of the best shot series ive ever seen, thanks for the breakdown
Yeah, one of the best indees, thanks!
WOOW, I really loved the lady Aisha. 😭🥵So you no longer asking for IG handles??
You mean for video review of street photography of others? I put a link in the description for people to submit. Not enough submissions to make the video yet
Hey! I have this camera for 2 months, and I've learned a lot from you. I have a question about auto options, and maybe you will help me with the answer. I take photos in aperture priority and when I set "auto 1" to 3200 ISO and 200 shutter speed, camera takes photos at 30 SS anyway. I noticed that it depends on light. If there is a lot of light, the shutter speed stays at 200. However, I don't want to go down to 30 when I set the minimum to 200. Can I do something about it? Thanks! 🙌
Well, the only thing I can say is that I dont like fuji's light metering system. For example it always cranks up ISO for me even though it could keep it lower therefore minimise the noise in the image. In your case it might be that the camera doesn't see the option to keep shutter fast depending on your aperture, maybe you close your aperture too much, because I cant imagine the camera would want to shoot shutter 30 while the ISO is 3200 and wide aperture
Wow! Thank you! That was very interesting and inspiring.
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I agree it's a little pricey but a new model with upgraded features. As a long-time wildlife and sports Fuji shooter, I wanted a small walk-around camera with an interchangeable lens. I currently shoot with the H2s. I had the 100 series but I found it was limiting and I couldn't set this camera up for my style of shooting. When the X-T50 was announced, it drew my attention and I purchased the camera. I really like the camera with the new 16-50 lens. It's very sharp even with the 40-meg sensor. I can also program the front and rear dials exactly the way I have my H2s set up. The front dial is ISO, and the rear dial is exposure comp. I've also programmed some buttons. One for eye detection and one for bird detection. IS works well. The film dial is okay; it was just an easy way to create different looks. I'm also finding it in good light; just switching to the full auto switch has worked well. Time well tell, but I'm happy with my purchase.
I am glad you found it suitable for you and hope it will be this way. I think it is ok that some finds things useful as others not so much
Are you russian by accident?
I am Lithuanian
@@ShotsByJev sorry, i meant your accent seems to have slavic language roots. Nothing to do with russia
Well, Lithuanian isnt a slavic language, it belongs to the family of Baltic languages :)
@@ShotsByJev than I'm just stupid😂
Maybe my accent just sounds like that :D
Hello Jev, I’m from West Bengal (India 🇮🇳).. very specifically the southern part of that state which indeed a Hot and Humid area. And in the next month (Monsoon season) I am planning for a 3 day trip to a Beach area with my Fujifilm XT30 ll with XC 15-45 kit lens and none of them are Weather sealed . Will the typical monsoon weather create a problem for me ? During this period of time the Humidity and rain will be on the higher side and I’m pretty much confused…. What should I do ??? Need you help 🙏🙏🙏
Hey! Unfortunatelly I havent been to India so I don't know how the weather and humidity there feels like. You should definitely protect it from the rain, then everything depends, if the moisture doesnt reach the camera then it might be ok, but if camera and the lens will get wet the moisture could get inside the camera. Hope you will have a great time and your camera will be fine!
Nicely done🙏
Thanks!
Don’t sell your xt-30
why?
Still a great small camera to keep as a b camera
Yeah, but I have two Sony a7iii for work and to have two cameras for my hobby is a bit too much I think :D
great work, i am gonna do this soon as well 😅😅
Hope it will be easier for you than it was for me :D
Did you use auto setting mostly or did you stay in aperture mode a lot in this video?
Ot depends, often I would use P mode with exposure compensation or A/S mode for aperture or shutter priority
I also got the TTArtisan 27 and really enjoy it. And I was also able to do the same comparison with my friends Fuji 27 Mk1, and still decided to keep the TTA. Partly because of the price (and it was literally impossible to find a Fuji 27 where I lived lol), but I also liked the performance, IQ and rendering (including the swirly bokeh). It absolutely has it's downsides like its flare, but like you said the biggest issue is definitely the vignette, but it's almost never an issue for me and I shoot raw + jpeg so can fix it if I really need to. I think the biggest design difference between the two is the Fuji 27 has an aspherical element, which definitely contributes to it's higher price and probably a more accurate colour rendering. Anyways, this was a great review and you took some awesome shots!
thank you for sharing this! for now I am even thinking of maybe selling both 27mm and just get second version of Fujis 27mm, because still hard to decide which one to keep out of these two I currently have 🙈
Good report, but perhaps slow down your delivery a tad.
Thanks for the opinion!
Thanks for the comparison and you are the only youtuber that talk that much about the vignetting, and I agree with you, it is definitively the defining carateristic of that lense. Very good for the price but the vignetting is too overpowering at times. But I didn't regret buying it at all since it's not one of my main lenses but I can kep it easely in my bag as this is small. I think that spare use as a complementary lense (between a 23 or 18mn and a 56 for example) is on of the 2 main appeal of it, along with gluing it on a small body for everyday, not too serious photography.
Yes, I myself dont quite decided yet wether I like that vignetting or not, because sometimes it is better to just have clean image
Got the ttartisan for $100usd, slapped a square hood and a 1/4 black mist filter on it and I'm loving it's performance. The vignette, sun starring, and bloom are gorgeous
Where have you found a mist filter for this size?
@@ShotsByJev Got it off amazon, made by Urth in 39mm!
Thanks, was looking for this size, but turns out it is not that common
@@ShotsByJev Yeah it is very hard to find options, even though the Fuji 27 has the same filter size lol, but I also got an Urth Ethereal 1/8 and really like it.
There's a typo in the title btw. "flow" should be "flaw.
Oh, thanks for pointing it out!
I think I’d keep the TT, but would like to see how it handles skin tones. Which would you keep?
It handles skin tones great, the color cast is negligeable really, but he is right to talk that much about the vignetting, it is almost inevitable and so strong you can't correct for it easely in post. I was aware of it before buying it but still got surprised by it.. If you can afford it, i suggest the fuji but if it's not one of your main lense and/or you want something cheap, the TTartisan IQ is more than OK (except for the vignetting).
Well I havent tested the skin tones, but I assume TTartisan will again go a bit on a magenta side, but it is very easy to correct in post.
Yeah, when I took first photos with this lens I also got quite surprised by this vignetting.
The only problem with Fuji 27mm is the AF sound, thought I got a defective piece
Yeah, I guess tha AF on this Fuji lens is just loud.
Compare them to the Viltrox 27mm wedding cake lens.
You mean Viltrox 27mm f1.2? Its kind of different size lens, not as compact as these two.
Heyy, why some of my settings can’t work ? Like grain effect or color effect blue etc ? Thanks
Check what shooting mode dial is set to, for example if it is set to Adv.1 mode then lots of options will be locked
What were you able to do in mac that couldn't in PC? What made you love it so much?
Not in a way it done something more, but first of all metal laptop after flimsy plastic windows felt awesome, then the operating system I liked way more than windows
@@ShotsByJev so you liked the fact that it was more expensive
I didnt say that, dont make stuff up
@@ShotsByJev then what did you like? You didn't confirm
@@ShotsByJev was it some softsare? Because as someone who used both of it... I didn't find the OS any good at all... Very restrictive
How can I get a smooth skin effect option in xt-30 ii, and alternative ?
Hey, fujifilm cameras doesnt have skin smoothing effects
@@ShotsByJev I think xt5 does have that option
@@Shiv-amuktha I don’t own X-T5 so can’t tell regarding that, but on X-T30ii there isn’t such option.
@@ShotsByJev thank you 🙂
The shot at 2:24, is that with the 50mm Lens?
No, I think it was XC15-45 lens
@@ShotsByJev Thanks for the response, friend. Awesome photos! I just ordered the x-t30II with the Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS. Excited for it to come in!!
Nice, 18-55 is even better than XC15-45, hope you will enjoy your new camera kit!
I'm a video shooter for work and exclusively use Lumix cameras but I wanted something lightweight I could bring with me when travelling and this video made me order the X-T30ii! I recently was in Berlin and I love your photos. Thank you very much!
Glad to be helpful, hope you will enjoy yiur camera!
It's Apple. They know you gonna go buy a new one
The XS20 ergonomics are similar to the DSLR controls. I own the XS10 and find it easy to manipulate the drive mode controls with my eye on the viewfinder. I do not like all the glare on the rear screen which is too hard to see the information.
Yes, in terms of ergonomics it is quire similar to my Sony A7iii
An i3 13500kf is more powerful than an i9 10900k
that's apple for you
Macbook pro with a intel cpu? Wtf bro what??????
Welcome to pre-2020 times 🗣
Average apple product moment, probably overheating as fuck
Intel... most powerfull processor... in an pasivly cooled apple... looool ok Its intel, they are shit to begin with, power hungry and overheat like creazy therefore thermal throttle
Macbook pro isnt passively cooled
@@ShotsByJev ah ok, but the test of the argument stands still
Probably thermal throttling like mad. Intel chips run mad hot. Macbooks have infamously pathetic cooling systems. Ur cpu is probably getting to hot so its forcing itself to run cooler by lowering its speed. Open it up and check for cat hair or something if ur comfortable doing that. Might be the codec and video format your using. Also just get something with a GPU. Gpus are literally designed for stuff like this. A cpu is going to perform worse for a task like this.
Lol your problem is that you use apple, if you used normal tech you wouldn't have this problem and it's just funny how apple users can't figure this out, especially in 2023-2024. Future profing works, you don't need to take the very top, but something above average, something second to the very top. A good example of future proofing is the 10 series of nvidia video cards, which came out 8 years ago, this series had a 1080 video card, which was future-pfofing at the time, and wich is still usable to this day. In fact, if you don't need modern features, such as RTX, just need a some video card in medium assembly, then it's still better to buy an old 1080 than any new card. I assembled my PC with future profing in mind, I've been using it for almost 4 years now and I'll bet it will last another 5 years without problems, and some of its components will migrate to my new PC I also use a Lenovo laptop (although their laptops are shitty) which was future proofed, bought in 2011 and it was fine even in 2018, but sadly it died in 2021 of old age, if it weren't for that, I'd would be still using it for light to medium tasks and some gaming Even very end of this video is kind of funny because you basically bought a future prooft laptop, only it was future prooft in the previous generation, it's like if you bought it back then, than you wouldn't be making this video
not every future proof is good it depends on the timing 😅 if you got the mac book pro 2016 it will last you to the m1 or even the m1 pro the m1 pro will last 4 to 6 more years from now on
What I meant of future proofing is to overspend and getting maxed out versions like M1 Ultra for example. M1 Pro is a regular one to do the work, thats why I bought M2 Pro when M3 line was already available as M2 Pro is capable enough and will be for few years at least.
I noticed my 15inch 2019 i9 can handle Sony AIII 4k without problems.
in what editing app?
@@ShotsByJev I use fcp. No proxy just straight 4k vids. Side note: mine has dedicated gpu but I beleive yours has as well.
To be fair as I recall FCP handled footage better than Premiere Pro
@@ShotsByJev ahh Premiere Pro? I have no intention to start a relegion war as PP is an excellent piece of software. However it had serious performance issues on macs in the past. Cant tell the present. FCPX is cheaper and (in my opinion) is better on mac.
have you heard of GPUs? JK
Apple User don't
@@nicoschafer524 oh that is unfortunate.
