Transcripts
this is not just an affordable Fujifilm
camera this is a true prle camera both
in image quality and build quality that
a number of photographers have built
their careers on and I'm talking about
product photography I'm talking about
fashion photography I'm talking about
travel photography and I'm talking about
event and wedding photography and I know
a number of wedding photographers that
to this day still use this camera as
their primary camera and this is a
camera that can be found on eBay or
Facebook Marketplace for around the $300
Mark now before I reveal what the camera
is I just want to tell you a bit about
the pr level feature set that this
camera has because when you listen to
all these features as they add up you
will honestly think there's no way that
I can get this camera for under $300 to
start with it is an all magnesium alloy
body and it is weather resistant or
weather sealed the camera also comes
with 11 Fujifilm simulations in the
camera this is one of the most popular
features of these Fuji cameras which
allows you to get great images straight
out of camera straight to jpeg the other
thing this camera has is in camera
processing this allows you to take a raw
photo then go view that raw photo and
choose which film simulation you want to
apply to that photo later you can also
push and pull the exposure if you want
the photo to be lighter or darker and
you can play with the intensity of the
color and the tone curves you can
increase the Shadows or highlights you
can add more contrast or de decrease
contrast and you can do that all in the
camera you don't have to put it on your
phone you don't have to put it in
Photoshop that is an ability to actually
change the finished image and Export to
jpeg in the Fujifilm camera and if all
that seems too hard for you you can
actually use what is called film
simulation bracking which is where you
preset three different Fujifilm
simulations that you might want to
choose from maybe you're out shooting
street photography and you think this
might look good in black and white it
might look good in a faded sort of look
that looks a bit like early color film
and it also might look good in a really
Punchy high contrast film simulation you
can go into the camera and tell the
camera that those are the three film
simulations that you're interested in
and when you take the photo the camera
will immediately process it three
different ways so when you go and look
at your photos in the camera you'll have
the same photo processed three different
ways you'll have a black and white one
you'll have sort of a faded film looking
one and then you'll have a Punchy sort
of high saturation contrast one and then
you don't have to do anything you just
pick the film simulation that worked out
best for that photo and with all the
film simulations you have control of
your color your sharpening and your tone
curve this allows you to pick how Punchy
those colors are how sharp and detailed
or crisp your photos or images are and
it also allows you to play with your
tone curve so you might want to pull up
the shadows and give you that faded sort
of film look where you don't get a true
black you get kind of like a a gray or
you might want to go into black and
white and really compress that where you
got really dark shadows and really high
contrast or high highlighted areas which
gives you this really high contrast
black and white look so you have all
these capabilities in camera these are
the core features that people love about
Fujifilm cameras and once again we're
getting this in a camera that cost
around $300 you're also going to get a
2.36 million. evf now this resolution is
similar to Fujifilm cameras right now
that cost around $4 or $1,500 and
there's some cameras that cost up to
$2,000 that have the same 2.36 million
dot resolution evf and I find the evf in
this camera actually better than the one
in my 13 or $1,00 xs20 you're also going
to get the complete range of exposure
controls on the top of the camera so
you're going to get your ISO dial you're
going to get your shutter speed dial and
you're going to get your exposure
compensation right on the top of the
camera this is the same set of features
that the current model xt5 has you're
also going to get a shutter response
timer shutter lag which is in line with
some of the best cameras made today at
0.05 of a second which essentially means
that as soon as you push the shutter
button to take a picture it is instant
there's no lag so you won't miss that
shot this is something that is an issue
with some older cameras but this camera
was way ahead of its time as far as the
shutter lag goes and it is probably was
one of the best on the market at the
time it was released the other thing
you're going to get that I love is a
dedicated manual focus assist button on
the back of the camera and what this is
going to do for you is when you are
using a manual focus lens you just touch
that and it is going to get you whatever
manual focus assist function you set in
the camera I like to use the punching
function so when I press that it punches
the thing in zooms way in I'm able to
nail focus on the part of the frame that
I want to be in focus and then I release
it it backs out and I hit my shutter
button and take the picture this is
something that you don't get in all
cameras and you're certainly not going
to get in any new cameras at anywhere
near this price point the other thing
you're going to get is fast and reliable
autofocus specifically for photography
now when we talk about video that's a
little a bit of a different story but
this camera was well ahead of its time
as far as its autofocus performance goes
specifically for a photography you're
also going to get a small and compact
excellent travel camera which is similar
size to the current model xt5 they've
actually been scaling the size of that
XT series camera's back and the xt5 has
gotten smaller bringing it more in line
with the size of this camera so you've
got an excellent small travel camera now
these cameras happen to be so small that
I like have a little bit more of a grip
on them so I add this base plate which
just gives me a little bit more room for
my hand and it also adds an ARCA Swiss
plate on the bottom of the actual camera
itself so I will link that in the
description down below as well because
if you have big hands the actual small
camera body might not be the best thing
for you but you've got a small
lightweight travel camera which is
similar size to the current model xt5
the other thing this camera has is an
XTR sensor and if you don't know what
the xtran sensor is it is a type of
sensor that's different than the kind
that Sony Nikon uh Canon anybody else
uses the type of sensor that is in this
camera is one of the things that gives
Fuji cameras their unique look and
Punchy and interesting color Fuji's
cheaper entrylevel cameras that you can
buy right now do not have an XTR sensor
so those are cameras that are more
expensive sometimes two three times the
price and you're not getting even a Fuji
XTR sensor the thing that really makes
Fuji Fuji and the one drawback I would
say about this camera is the video
feature in this camera is virtually
unusable in my mind there is no
situation where I could imagine using
the video in this it's 1080p which is
not an issue for me but it's very low
quality 1080p so this is strictly a
photography camera travel photography
street photography Event Photography but
it is not a camera that I would really
even consider using for video whatsoever
and importantly this is an x-mount
camera so it is compatible with all the
new Fujifilm X Mount lenses as well as
the history of many many years of X
Mount lenses including a number of very
high quality and very inexpensive
thirdparty lenses and in the second part
of this video I'm going to go over the
lens kit that I recommend for this
camera if you're buying this on a budget
these lenses are going to perfectly pair
with this camera and really allow you to
take photos that are Way Beyond the
price point of what you're paying so
this is an unbelievable feature set for
a camera that cost around $300 but what
is the camera this is the original
Fujifilm
xt1 released in
2014 and when you combine that camera
with one of these extremely inexpensive
third-party lenses you get image quality
and results that I really do not think
can be beat even at two to three times
the price and I know there are people
out there to this day myself included
that still use this camera even though
we have cameras that cost thousands and
thousands of dollars more just because
we love the images out of this camera so
much now here is the set of lenses or
the lenses that I would consider looking
at when we're looking at buying this
camera and staying on a budget the first
one I want to talk about is this one now
I've got two different manufacturers
here I've got some TT Artisan lenses and
I have I think it's a bright and star
lens as well this is the TT Artisans
35mm 1.4 if you're just going to buy one
lens to go with this camera this is
probably the one I would recommend it's
super small it's great for portraits
it's great for street photography it's
great for walk around birthday parties
in a city travel and this lens cost
under $100 somewhere between $73 and $88
is normally the price I find and I did
find it on sale at one of my suppliers I
work with recently so I will link that
below hopefully it's still on sale there
but yeah this is a lens that I use all
the time once again I've got lenses that
cost a lot more than this but every
single person that I've ever recommended
this lens to has always come back and
said thank you thank you thank you I
cannot believe how good of a lens that
is for the money the next one is a 50 mm
f1.2 and this is a
fantastic portrait lens for the camera
now the first one the first lens was
manual focus the second one is manual
focus I do have a couple autofocus
lenses in here as well I like using
autofocus lenses on the XT series of
cameras because it just adds to that
overall experience and that punch and
assist that I use for manual focus is
really good it works really well and you
actually get quite quick at it um and
you in general get a better lens for the
money if you're you're shooting Auto or
if you're shooting manual focus lens
once again this is a 50mm f1.2 this is
going to get you an incredibly blurry
background it's beautiful image quality
it gives you something that is somewhere
between a vintage lens and a modern lens
which works really quite well with the
Fujifilm simulations in the Fujifilm
xt1 it is a little bit more limited
because 50 mm is the equivalent of about
75 mm on full frame so you're quite
zoomed in I would probably only
recommend this as a second lens not a
first lens but it is an excellent lens
for the money and once again I think
this one is just a little over
$100 the next one is a 17 mm
f1.4 and this is a a lens which is
essentially a budget alternative to the
sigma 16 MIM
f1.4 and once again this one's a little
over $100 might be 130 bucks or
something like this I I will link
everything below with all the current
pricing and everything you need to know
there I've also made a video on this one
comparing it to the sigma 16mm
f1.4 and what you'll be surprised to
know is there was a point when I was
making videos and I was using the sigma
16 mm f1.4 and I actually swapped it out
for this 17 mm f1.4 and nobody said a
thing nobody could tell the difference
in real world results this lens is so
close to the results of that Sigma that
really it's hardly noticeable unless
you're looking for it this is a good
wide angle both photo and video walk
around do everything lens and it's the
widest angle lens that I'm going to talk
about in this this list of lenses and
yeah it's a beauty for the price
particularly
now this next one is a 27 mm
f2.8 lens this one is an autofocus lens
so you've got an autofocus lens you've
also got a an aperture control ring on
here which tells the camera what the
Apert is going to be and it
electronically controls the aperture
you've got a focus ring as well it comes
with a little lens hood and it comes
with a tiny little lens cap it's a 27 mm
f2.8 this is a fantastic focal length
for street photography walk around video
do just about everything once again this
is another lens that gives you an image
that looks like something between a
vintage lens and a modern lens and I'm a
big fan of this lens particularly for
the size and once again this is a lens
around 150 bucks or something like that
under 200 bucks all the lenses in this
lineup are under
$200 the next one is probably my very
favorite of the group but it is the most
expensive
it's around 180 199 something like that
this is a 35mm F 0.95 lens and for the
money it's probably the best lens I've
ever tested and I did do a video on this
lens and I will link that video below as
well as the links the purchase links for
the lens I cannot recommend this lens
highly enough and this is another one
that every single person that I've
recommended this to has just come back
and said oh this is just such an amazing
lens for the money thank you thank you
thank you for for recommending it and I
was one of the first people I think to
ever test this lens or make a video
about it and yeah um go watch the video
I made on this lens it is honestly an
unbelievable lens for the money and this
final one if you can't handle the manual
focus I've got two 35mm one is an f1.4
that I've talked about another one is
the f0.95 that I just talked about if
you say hey I cannot handle the manual
focus I really want an autofocus fln
I've got an autofocus lens here that I
can't actually tell you the name of when
I'm making this video but it is going to
be released any day now this is a
35mm f1.8 autofocus lens the image
quality is very very good you do get a
bit of flaring with the lens but they
Supply this kind of crazy good lens Hood
to knock down that flaring and for the
price is it the best autofocus lens I've
ever tested maybe maybe it'd be it's
pretty good it' have to go close close
and once again this is a lens going to
be under $200 I'm told not available at
the time of shooting this video so down
in the description down below I'll I'll
put unavailable or pre-release or
something like that but as soon as it's
available I will update that link and
put it to uh to the actual purchase link
where you can find it and buy it I can't
tell you any more about it and I can't
give you any image samples yet but
subscribe to the channel and I will have
a video out about it when it is released
now all the Fuji X series of cameras are
apsc or crop sensor cameras and I think
there's a lot of people out there that
think ah it's fullframe or bust but I've
just thrown a video on screen now these
are 10 lenses that I think make apsc
cameras better than fullframe cameras
