I’m using my dream camera. The Fujifilm X-E4

I also stopped shooting RAW and I feel happy about it. All your pics here look magnificent! And while we are viewing them in VP9 (video codec compression) it's still possible to enjoy them. It doesn't matter if you edited the RAW yourself on PC or your camera did all the processing according to your picture profile settings. No one could tell. The end result is always downscaled and presented as JPEG and viewed on SDR displays. RAW is nothing more than an unhealthy time-wasting obsession that often gives photographers some false confidence ("I'm shooting RAW so my pics are better"). Most of the things even highlight preservation could be done with camera built-in capabilities.

Yes, X80 please!! Small camera with fast(ish) lens and fast autofocus. I cannot believe they never continued the line after x70.

Same, X80 leaf shutter as sharp as the x100s and that one button push (hold) for silent mode. 1080 120fps 4k 60 fps - why do i have this feeling X80 is coming and will really happen. ;-)

X100VI with interchangeable lenses hands down. I actually got myself the XM1 but hopefully we get a XE5 with a flash or something like that cause there are much better lenses than the built in ones and if you really want to maximise your potential in tight spaces you absolutely need another one.

I'm really surprised you don't have an X-E2 with the Voigtlander's 18 and 27 mm pancakes. The only thing it's missing from your list is the leaf shutter!

reggie you beautiful bastard I thought fuji announced an x80! I immediately googled it and realized I'd been clickbaited. Just watched the video and I agree 100%, x80 is one of my dream cameras as well. I have a couple of interchangable lens fujis and a couple of compact small sensors that I love taking around with me whenever, but the compactness and imaging potential of the x70 (and hopefully its successor as well!) literally gets me giddy with excitement. Ever since my introduction into photography with interchangable lens systems I have come to value the portable nature of compacts more and more even though I can't deny the difference in image quality between the two. There is something about a camera you can pull out anytime and snap without actually intruding on the moment that brings me great joy. I've been toying with the idea of getting myself a canon gx1 mkII as it has a 1.5 inch sensor (kind of an in between of m43 and aps-c) and a decent zoom range of 24-112mm (equivalent) and native 4:3 aspect ratio which I prefer personally.

I sold my X70 years ago in hopes Fuji would bring out an X70S. I’ve given up hope. Fuji doesn’t seem interested in making cameras we want anymore. Now they make cameras with film sim dials on them. 😂

Great advice Reggie!

I would like Fujifilm to take some features from the Nikon Zf, LUMIX, and Ricoh GR3. And better yet, try to stand out by making the camera more into a digital “film camera” -have the ability for the eye autofocus to work even for manual lenses, and have a green indicator box when in focus like the Nikon Zf. Or have the ability to automatically zoom in to the eye like the Nikon zf. - Nikon zf also has features like highlight protect and an interesting implementation for auto iso where the top dial is the max auto iso can go up to. -because people complain about how much more effort to switch auto iso from Nikon maybe Fuji can have this max auto iso on the dial be a setting to toggle in the camera? -Or even have some kind of indicator icon on the lcd/viewfinder what iso. It would be neat to see Fuji have a warning sign if iso is too high. So in the menus you can say you want the camera to go up to iso 12800, but give a small indicator warning if you are above 6400. -curtain cover like the Nikon z8 so dust won’t go into the sensor -Ricoh gr3 has a feature to set a specific zone focus so you know everything will be in focus to a certain distance. It would be awesome if Fuji adds this too. -Have a way to have more customized Luts like the lumix s9. -To make it more Fujifilm special, Wouldn’t it be cool if we can create our own film simulations, and even create the square logo you would put behind a film camera? So like the XPro3, but users can create the film name, graphic design, and typography. Users can design the logo on adobe illustrator or even the Fuji x app, then share their custom films on the x app. - better yet, Fuji has the ability to show different lcd screens when pressing the disp/back button. I want Fuji to bring a digital version of the xpro3 back panel so it looks like there’s a film stock square on the back. - -I used a iPhone app NoMoCam and I love how the emulations look more like film than Fujis film simulations. Like the toy Kodak camera or the instax features in NoMoCam are way more fun to use if I want a film look. - Fuji film simulations should have the ability to customize shadow hues, high light hues, generate dust specs, custom framing, add rainbow flares - Or even, can Fuji mimic more of their green color hue film? -more importantly, can Fujifilm add the ability to simulate a burned in date stamp? I’m surprised they don’t have this feature. -does anyone use the advanced photo feature on the xt5 drive dial? Can Fuji replace this with the double exposure like on the xt30? -after seeing the Pentax 17 come out, I want Fujifilm cameras to be able to create diptychs (two photos side by side) or tryptics (3 photos side by side) in camera. Landscape orientation and vertical orientation. - leaning in to making the Fujifilm more like a film camera, can Fuji make the xt6 have an optical viewfinder, but then a digital panel that pops can pop in or out like the x100vi? There’s something unique when using an optical view finder on a dslr or film camera vs a evf. - leaning even more into a digital film camera, the Fuji xt6 should have film advance lever that can be used as a thumb grip, but also can force you to advance “film”. Maybe even having a smooth animation of the film advancing to the right lol. - better yet, what if you had a software feature to actively slow you down when taking pictures. - Like you can set only a max of 24, 36, 48, 72 photos if you really wanted to. - Even have the feature to have your photos “develop” over a span of custom 1 min, 2 min, 5, 10, it’s up to the user. There’s an iPhone app that does this and it’s so exciting to see your photo after it’s “developed” -have a feature that encourages users to print their photos. Maybe it randomly selects 24 photos you took and presents them as a way to encourage physically printing photos. I come home with 100, and I just keep them on my hardrive. -have the xt5 have a directional pop up flash

Convinced, would buy it in a heartbeat!

Bro just get the Q, you will be able to choose real quick 😂 I no longer crave the X80

Fujifilm extensively talked about killing entry level market like the xt100, x70 etc...I am not saying they are never gonna make it but when camera priced at $1500 selling like hot cakes and they cannot make enough of it. Since its already confirmed they are making a medium format x100 camera. I don't think we will see that camera in near future.

BEEN waiting 🙏🏼💆🏻‍♂️

Yes, please, count me in as well! I’d ask for IBiS as well, to really extend its usability into lower light and night photography.

hi, great video! would you be willing to share how you meter the light for your photos? Specially with the x70?

I have fujifilm XT-10 with X-trans 2 with sensor, and i love this camera and her production of colors, pictures are insane

x10 with a crop sensor. Maybe, x70 with an evf...

I love your thoughts on this subject.

I agree with the entire wishlist with the exception of internal memory. I realize a large appeal of this dream camera would be its compactness but personally think dual card slots would be better, offering long term reliability and redundancy. Either way this would be a fantastic piece of kit! 👍

I'd like a Fuji X100vi body with the pop-up selfie screen from the X-E4 (with LCD specs as the X-T5), a 16mm f/1.4 fixed lens (leaf shutter), IBIS, 40mp sensor, charcoal grey from the X-T50, add the d-pad from the X-T5, dual SD-card slot, and top it off with the NP-235 battery (which would probably necessitate a larger grip).

Great video. I’m with you on the desire for an X80. I have the X-E4, the X-70 and recently the X-100VI. Traveling with the first two last summer, I found using the X-70 preferable for most occasions except where I wanted better resolution or using a zoom. I love the flip up screen on both and I think a modern version but I still prefer the X-Trans V and with a mist filter would mediate some of the image quality especially with your recipe. I’m still evaluating the X-100VI but the weight difference is noticeably different when compared to the X-70.

If you didn’t own the X70 with your fav, focal length of 28mm, would you have the Ricoh GRiii or keep the GRiiix? Or both? lol

This focal length is cinematic actually, all point and shot cameras are having this focal length.

Great video. Always appreciate your insight. Just watching and listening to this video made me think of some exercises to practice my photography.

Could guess mitakon. That depth of field with 0.95 is unique

Good stuff my guy!

All of the best work that I've done has been for places I know. That's easy if it's just your neighborhood, but way more challenging if it's a new place. I generally set time to do a walk around of the place I want to shoot (if time is limited) or come back to a place over and over. Scouting can be REALLY key as it helps you previsualize what you want to do and you end up with a shortlist of tiny scenes that might work. It takes off your mental load when you gotta get the good stuff!

Thanks for the video. Very informative!

Hi Reggie, as a wedding photographer do you more often get to chose the location of the wedding shoot or do you more often have to work with where the client wants to have the photos?

For all the features demonstrated here in Lightroom; do we need a paid subscription or will the free version do?

for expertise ask experts

Sir as the legend Ansel adams says pre visualisation is very important concepts of photography...am too a wedding photographer sir , I've learnt about lighting,composition, photo aesthetics but if i go to a new location i always suffer with the pre visualisation and posing problem please help me with the pre visualisation concept, how to develop it...

This was so inspirational and beautifully articulated! You got me hooked man!

Very good advices, you are really a good photographer and teacher

Very helpful tips. Thank you Reggie!!

You're very brave, keep going！❤

Definitely what I need as a beginner trying to learn stuff. Thanks Reggie. 😊

The biggest lesson I learned in street photography, was not to hesitate. If you feel there’s a shot -take it don’t think about it, just do it! Because if you wait, you will miss it! The next thing I learned was take as many shots as you’re comfortable taking, without making the person really uncomfortable. I found that at times if I stop photographing too early, something more interesting came in the next second. Oh, and this may be the pre-factor in the first lesson, have your finger on the trigger most of the time, at the ready. If you sense you are in an area where the potential for something to be dynamic, have your camera turned on and your finger on the trigger.

Do you go below 1/160 for posed portraits?

Great tips as always mate 👍🏼

Thanks, I certainly appreciated the tips. The last three are the hardest. I'm a decent rookie with settings and technical stuff but being in the moment without tunnel vision is the biggest challenge especially on the shooting scene but that also applies to curation.

Fantastic stuff, Reggie 👌🏻

Thank you for sharing! These lessons are really helpful and aren’t something I’ve heard before. A lot of photography videos sort of focus on a handful of things but what you shared was completely new to me! Keep making more videos!

Looking forward to the 10 years experience. 🙌🏽

I’m a big fan of your content, Reggie. Thanks for sharing these tips. Yes, I’d like more of this content.

Thanks for the tips!

Loved this! The tip on listening was definitely insightful and not one I’ve heard before. Thank you!
