- So you've decided that you wanna shoot with a Fuji device of some kind. (ambient music)
There's something about Fuji, maybe something in the brand that appeals to you in some important way. Maybe someone told you that
this is the right brand for your personality type. Or maybe you saw some
photos that inspired you and you found out that
they were photographed with the Fuji device. Or perhaps it was the appeal of a smaller overall kit size. And yet, the fact that these Fuji devices can't
compete spec for spec with most larger cameras. Or maybe it's the nostalgia, the appeal of the film days and honoring the traditions of yesteryear that seemed more valuable
to Fuji as a brand than other brands and you align with that. Maybe it's the idea that
you're more likely to have that analog spirit reflected in your work if you shoot with Fuji
than with other brands. Whatever the reason, you're here and you need some advice. There are a lot of Fuji
X cameras out there. Which one is right for you? Unfortunately though,
it's not a simple answer. And even if you were sitting
across the table here from me, and I could ask you about your budget, your shooting style, the conditions that you'll be shooting in the features you desire. Even in that situation, it'd be a complicated matter to help you find the right camera. But as an aside, if you do
want that level of help, please consider joining the
channel at the mentorship level where I would love to directly
help you find the right gear, but also be able to help
you improve your photography as you start your journey. That aside, for everyone else, when it comes to how to
navigate the crazy complexities involved in this multivariate decision, we need a place to start. And I think the most natural place to start is with your budget. For most of you, I'm guessing you have sort of a gut sense of
what it might cost you. And you're probably figuring a certain dollar amount as a cap. I'm guessing here that most of you if I'm getting you at all correct, are interested in finding
the right camera body first, and then you'll plan to
figure out which lens you get. Or maybe you're counting
on your first lens being packaged up with a body that you decide on in sort
of a package discount. But guys if you wanna
take photography seriously there's an important lesson you need to have instilled
before you buy anything and that is the old mantra, which I agree with. And it goes something like this, "Your camera bodies you
date, your lenses you marry." Guys bodies come and
go, they get worn out, features get deprecated,
models get replaced, products lose support, shutters fail, weather sealing gets compromised, cameras get dropped or stolen, camera bodies depending
on how much you use them and how much you baby them. They typically only last
with you a few years. But lenses on the other
hand like this one here, the 16 millimeter 1.4. This is my favorite Fuji lens. This was the first Fuji lens that I purchased way back in 2016. And it will be the last Fuji lens that I sell, if I ever sell it. And it has been attached to
every Fuji body that I've owned and there's been many of those
even in four or five years that I've shot for you, I
don't know how long I shot Fuji but in that process, there's been at least four or five bodies that have come and gone. Of course, where extreme case many of you won't go through that, many... But you'll still probably
go through a body every couple years. So with that in mind, the place to start when budgeting for a new
system, is with the lens. So if you have no idea which
Fuji lens to choose first, I do have a playlist of videos up yonder, designed to walk you through
the decision-making process. I'd encourage you to pause
this video right here, go through that first. Once you've got the price of the lens or lenses that you wanna buy in mind, you can use what's left to
budget for a camera body. Now not all of you are here
with a budget of course there are a minority of you who have enough expendable income and enough desire to not skimp that you're willing to
come away with the best or near best camera. A deal would be nice, but, you don't want the
gear to hamper you at all by spending a few more hundred dollars on a little bit better of a body. You'll get a slight edge
or increase the likelihood that you'll take a few more keepers home at a better quality and
you're perfectly willing to spend it. And while I do think that that's a minority of you
guys, we will start there. We'll start with Fuji's flagship And we have a slightly
more expensive Fuji X-Pro3 which starts at $1,800 but which you could spend more to get the dura-coated version. And finally we have the X 100V which is the more affordable
price of 1,400 dollars. It's also worth noting though that this one comes with a lens fixed you can't take this lens off so that will also save you money because you don't have
to spend extra on lenses but you're limited by lenses. To answer the question which
of these is right for you, I have a few simple questions for you that you should know the answer to first. First, is do you like the
idea of having one fixed lens? Or, do you like the idea of
swapping out multiple lenses to fit your needs or to suit
the environment of shooting? The X 100V as I said, has a fixed lens 23 millimeter F2, this is a very nice lens and because it's fixed or cannot
be removed from the camera, it allows this camera to be
incredibly compact and minimal. But obviously, you're stuck with one
lens and one focal length. Now this is a focal length
that's good and versatile. It's a favorite of street photographers or documentary photographers. And there's a lot to be said for sticking with one lens
at a fixed focal length to give you focus and
to inspire creativity. Learning to see the world at the 23 millimeter or 35 millimeter full frame equivalent focal length can do a lot for improving your awareness and your ability to compose a scene. But there are other advantages as well. Like I said size, having a compact camera
means you'll be more likely to have a camera on you. And the more the cameras on you, the more practice you'll
have with photography. And the more likely it will be
that you will capture moments that you wanna capture. But, if you'd prefer to
be able to put a zoom lens on this camera or a prime lens
at different focal lengths for different situations, like if you want landscape photography, wildlife photography, or if you just wanna do
portrait photography, this is likely not the
camera that you' ll want, you'll probably want one
of these other two bodies. So my next question is, do you plan to shoot a lot of video? If the answer is yes, then
that simplifies things, I wouldn't really recommend the X-Pro 3 or the X100V. These have more limited video specs like Max 4k recording time. They have the potential of overheating and the user experience is not
designed for video shooting, which leaves you with
this, the wonderful XT-4. This is an excellent hybrid device with incredible video specs. This camera also has
in-body image stabilization. Unlike most other Fuji cameras, that means that the sensor
has some stabilization built into it, to help
smooth your handheld footage also get you better lower
shutter speed access photography. My next question for you is what sort of shooting style do you think you like the most? Two of these cameras have what I would call more of a
rangefinder style shooting the electronic viewfinder
or hybrid viewfinder, these both have an optical
and electronic viewfinder. That just means that you can either see what the computer is showing through the lens with an
electronic viewfinder, or they can show you
what's really out there just looking right through the
glass to see the real world. These are the only Fuji cameras
that can do that really, other than... Only, digital mirrorless
cameras that can do that. But in both cases, the hybrid viewfinder is on the left side. This can be really nice because your nose doesn't
hit the back side of the LCD and mess with your focal points. If you've got touch-enabled, like it can with one of these devices, if you have the...
(clicks) Like that, you're gonna
bump it with your nose. Also, you'll get it oily, unless, of course you have it hidden. But anyway, so a lot of
people really like that. But, that's not gonna work if you are left eye dominant, of course, so, it'll work less well, because... The obvious, it should be obvious way. But the XT-4 has an
electronic viewfinder only and it's centered. And many people prefer
the centered placement. And then when it comes
to waist level shooting, you'll also find different
styles on these devices. The X100V has an articulating style LCD. This is one we'll see again, as we go through the
list of other cameras. These work well for most circumstances where the camera is gonna
be faced away from you. And it's probably more efficient than what we have here with the X-T4, which is a fully articulating flip screen, that might be more fiddly, right? (clicks)
Because you have to kind of pull it out and articulate it. Whereas this one, you can just kind of, tilt up or down. But, the fully articulating
screen of the X-T4 might be more beneficial to you if you're ever gonna find yourself on the front side of the camera, filming or photographing yourself. Finally, we have the XPro3, which has a screen that a
lot of newer photographers will not appreciate, I'm
gonna tell you right now. It has a flip down screen, which means that it's... It's meant to encourage the use of that electronic viewfinder by hiding the LCD most of the time. So it's more minimal, I guess, and some people like this approach because the only time they
need an articulating screen is when their waist level shooting, where they bring it down, in which case it's really nice because it's just one single motion and it's at the waist level for you. (clicks) And all other times, you've
got it up to your eye. These are photographers who aren't in the menus very often or looking back on
their photos very often. But, for newer photographers where you're gonna be
learning the menu system of the Fuji device. And where you'll probably be looking back at photos more often. This will be extremely frustrating and this is why... This is absolutely not the camera that I would recommend
for newer photographers. If you like the design and the styles and the aesthetic of it, I would first get another
camera maybe the X100V get to know it really well first.
(clicks) To where you're... To the point where you
don't depend on that screen before, you force yourself
to use something like this where you may be frustrated at first. Now there are a lot of other
specs we could talk about. We could spend hours talking
about the pros and cons of these three cameras alone. But fortunately when it
comes to one of the biggest questions that you have, which of these cameras has
the best image quality? I've really good news for you. They will all give you pretty
much identical image quality. The sensors are all the
same, on these three cameras and their specs as far as processor, autofocus technology, that sort of thing, it's all very similar. So, most of the decision
here is gonna come down to which is your shooting
style and ergonomics. As far as image quality goes the only real advantage any of these have over the others, is the XT-4, like I said it has the
in-body image stabilization so you'll most likely get sharper images when you're shooting at
lower shutter speeds, so like lower light or whatever, and beyond that if you want a camera with the longest battery life,
you'll also want the XT-4 because it takes a much
larger capacity battery. This is a new battery. This is the only Fuji
X camera that takes it and it's gonna last a lot longer and be significantly less frustrating than all of the other cameras which all utilize the same size. I don't have it in here, the same size smaller battery, which many find frustrating because they just don't last as long. However, if you want a more
traditional shooting experience with a camera, with classic
styling and a titanium rather than aluminum, top and bottom. And a viewfinder, that makes you less lazy,
less reliant on an LCD screen, then you might be happy with XPro3 But if you want the smallest and you want a camera
that will most likely be with you for all the
activities you go on. It's gonna be this, the X100V. So now that we've covered
kind of a high end, let's start whittling our way
down to the budget cameras and see what sort of
Fuji cameras we can get as we move into lower price brackets. And this is where I wanna take a second to thank our fantastic
friends at KEH again for helping us out. I really wanted to have examples of these lines of cameras,
at least one of each. And so I asked KEH if they
would send us these bodies that I could show you all of them with 'cause I don't own all of these. So I do want to thank KEH by
pointing you guys their way. KEH is the company that we use to purchase all our pre-owned gear. If you're new to photography or Fuji X, I wholeheartedly recommend
you check them out as a way to save some money
and get more bang for your buck on lenses and camera bodies. Their gear comes with a
reliable quality score and all purchases come with
180 day satisfaction guarantee. So check them out and
shave off a few bucks by using the discount code
DENAE&ANDREW at checkout. So, now as we get into
more budget options, I will be adding used gear to the list and the reason for that,
is that if it was me and I was just getting into
Fuji and I was on a budget, I would no question save some money to get a better device even
if it was a little bit used, rather than a lower quality
and lower spec device that's brand new. But I'll give you both those options so that you can make your own decision. In this next category, we'll look at Fuji X
cameras between $1,200 and 1,000 US dollars. And, I have three cameras in this range as of filming this video
there are three cameras that can still be purchased new though I don't know how much
longer that will be the case. The X-T3 is, probably as far
as all-purpose cameras go, probably the favorite that I've ever had up until the X-T4. This is the little brother of the X-T4 that I just showed you. It's a little bit
smaller, and as a result, it doesn't have that
in-body image stabilization. So you won't get the benefit
of smoother video footage or sharper photos at lower shutter speeds like you can with the X-T4. And it also utilizes a smaller battery, (clicks)
like I said. So with this one you'll have and really most of the Fuji X bodies you'll need to have a lot
of those smaller batteries for a full day's shoot. But the X-T3 also has a
simplified articulating screen (clicks)
which was similar that... To the X100Vs, one that
I already showed you. Won't articulate to
the front like the X-T4 but works... (clicks)
really well for... If you're behind the screen
also articulates to the right unlike most of the other
(clicks) back articulating (clicks)
screens, so that's nice. Depending on who you are though, you might actually prefer this screen to the flippy screen of the X-T4, especially if you never plan
on being on the front side of the camera. I know a lot of photographers
who are very disappointed to hear that the X-T4 would be shipping without fully articulating flippy screen. And who will probably just skip or just skip that generation,
stick with the X-T3 for now and see what Fuji does in the future. But that may be an advantage
for many of you of this camera. And not only that, but also that it's just
a little bit smaller. Aside from those considerations the X-T3 really is a phenomenal and award-winning hybrid device, which has been my primary camera for both professional photo and video for over the past two yea... Or for almost past two years. And since it's been out for some time now it can also be purchased
lightly used for around US$1,000 saving a couple $100 and,
that's a really great deal. Next we have the X100F
which can be purchased at a really great price right now. This is not the F, I don't
have the F here this is the V, but they do look very similar. And as a prior generation, the F will give you slightly lower quality of 23 millimeter F2 lens. When you're shooting... Particularly when you're
shooting at the F2 aperture, and you're up close to objects, you'll get a little bit less
softness out of that lens. A little less autofocus
performance, and accuracy and speed. But aside from that, I know plenty of X100F
shooters who love that device, and who have had no
problems with that lens. And... So, if you're on a budget,
and you like the idea of a fixed very small,
very beautiful device, I won't hesitate to recommend that to you. The X100F also doesn't have
the articulating screen that the V has. It's just fixed,
(clicks) which some people are
frustrated not having that especially if you're like me,
you photograph kids or pets at the waist level quite a bit or on the street, you like
to shoot from the hip. The F (clicks)
and the prior generations of the X100, weren't there for us. But for many people, I
know a lot of people don't, they're not bothered by that at all. Finally, we have a
different sort of camera. Very unique one in the Fuji X lineup. This is the Fuji X-H1. Other than the X-T4, this
is the only Fuji body that will benefit from an
in-body image stabilization. Stabilized sensor. This is a lot more chunky of a camera than all of the other X bodies
having a lot more grip to it. And just more, It's
just bigger in general. The styling here is much more akin to the Canon or Nikon DSLR type. Or, I guess it's a nod to
those types of styles of bodies more than the other Fuji X bodies. And you'll see that with the LCD, the top LCD secondary monitor which will show you
your settings up there. So, I know a lot of people who really love shooting with this style of body. They prefer it to more of the traditional kind of filmic style of the other bodies that we've been exploring. But for me, the major
downside of this camera is something we're gonna start seeing in the older Fuji X bodies. And that is the capability of the sensor something I haven't mentioned so far with all the other cameras
we've been talking about so far is the technology
called Phase Detect Auto. Phase Detect Auto is a
feature you'll probably want to remember. Particularly if you're
going to rely on autofocus in fast action settings like sports or wildlife
or active kids or pets. Having a camera that can lock focus in those really hard to photograph moments will make a huge difference
for the number of keepers that you walk away with. If your primary plan is to shoot landscape,
architecture, still life or subjects that don't move much then this will matter less to you. Sensors with Phase Detect Auto provide dedicated pixels on the sensor which compare depth against each other and this helps provide
extremely accurate focus. This compared to Contrast Detect Autofocus which is where the processor
determines if something is in focus or not by how much contrast there
is on the edges of things. So, they'll notice where contrast is and focus in front and behind it until it gets the sharpest image it can. This technology is less
reliable, it's less quick and the video settings make
for ugly autofocus experience where things tend to
wobble in and out of focus. And you will see this on my
Lumix HS1 that I'm filming with there's not a lot of details back here but it uses contrast detect and so you'll see a little bit of wobble that drives some people bonkers. Not the greatest technology
for video autofocus especially but the reason I bring
it up is because the X-H1 and some of the other
cameras will start seeing use face detect auto in the
middle of the sensor only not out towards the edges. And for many people this is a big disadvantage of these older tech... These older tech in Fuji devices. But though this can still be
bought new right now for $1,200 on the used market, these
are going for eight or $900 because, most people don't
tend to appreciate this device who shoot Fuji, so you
can get a super good deal on a lightly used X-H1. But that is definitely
the way that I would go if I was interested in this
camera and I was on a budget. Next, let's go a little lower on the rank and we'll look at cameras you can get for between 800 and 1,000 dollars. As I just mentioned, you can get a really
great deal on the X-H1 for this price range, if you're
willing to go lightly used. But if you're looking at this price range for a brand new camera, I wanna introduce you to the Fuji X-T30. This is not the X-T30, this is the X-T20 but they look very similar on the outside as far as capability goes, the X-T30 is very similar to the X-T3 that we already praised just moments ago. It utilizes the same sensor and processor has that really great face detect auto all across the sensor. So basically you're getting
the same image quality, the same performance, the same autofocus, the same excellent video
features for the most part, all of that in just a smaller form factor, what you lose is weather sealing and the Fuji X-T3 has more grip has a dedicated ISO dial,
which the X-T30 doesn't have. And you'll notice that the X-T30 and a lot of the other bodies
we'll be talking about now. They're a little thinner
on the magnesium alloy. I think that this has an aluminum chassis in top and bottom, I could be wrong. But either way it's thicker,
It's a little more beefy, you start to feel a little bit more just feels a little bit cheaper quality on these other devices we're
gonna start talking about. However, that does make
for a lighter body, so that is something to consider. But the worst and most common
complaint about the X-T30. Again, this is not the X-T30. But if it were, I would show you the
placement of the Q button, which most every Fuji X-T30 user has felt the pain of at some point. They talk about constantly
accidentally hitting that Q button and bringing up that Q menu which interferes with your shooting. Now Fuji has attempted
to resolve that blunder by bringing out a firmware, additional firmware that
will allow a long press or a double press or
something to activate that and some people have reported
that, that has helped. But for a lot of people,
they've felt the pain of that usability concern. And it's something to be aware of as a pretty big blunder on
Fuji's part, if you ask me. But really for the price savings. It's a pretty impressive device. It's amazing how similar it is to the powerful X-T34
for such a low price. The last camera in this price range is a used version of the X100F. Again, this is the V not the
F, but they do look similar. You should be able to
find a lightly used F for around $800, which
is a phenomenal value. In the price range of $700,
Fuji has three cameras again that you'll generally be able to find used in this price range. I've already talked about the X-T30 you could save a couple
hundred dollars off that camera if you're willing to get it lightly used. But you could also get
a previous generation of the XT or X-Pro line. For the XT you have the X-T2 again, which I don't have here. But the X-T2 is sort of, the same body basically as the
X-T3, at least in appearance with the same articulating
screen and everything. But with the same sensor and
processor out of the X-H1 that I already talked about. So, you'll be limited in
the Phase Detect Auto points the auto points in general it means not quite as fast autofocus not as good low-light performance
though that's debatable. And the other disadvantage
to me is that the X-T2 just does not have the
durability that the X-T3 has. I've had many problems with the X-T2 when it comes to durability and it's why I don't necessarily recommend you going to all there
to used on Fuji X bodies big proponent of lightly used, too much used that's a problem because they're not known especially the older generation Fuji they're not known for their durability. And Fuji leaves a lot to be desired on the support end of things where they just sort of drop support eventually
for their older devices. So, those are all things to consider. And finally, the last
thing that you will lose on the X-T2 is, a touchscreen. The other used device that I
wanna talk about though is, for this price range is the X-Pro2. I've never owned this personally. and this is not the
X-Pro2, this is the X-Pro3, they do look similar. I haven't owned the X-Pro2, I've played with it a little bit but I've heard that it does a lot better in the durability department than the XT2, but unlike the X-Pro3 which we have here, it does not have a movable
LCD on the back at all, It'll be fixed. Again depending on who you are, that might not be an issue at all, but to others it was a deal breaker. Going a little lower on the price rong let's look at three cameras that can be had for between
500 and 600 US dollars. Here's where we introduce the X-E3 which is like the little
brother of the X-Pro2. It has a rangefinder styling to it with the EVF on the
left side of the camera. It utilizes the same sensor
and processor technology the XT2 and the X-Pro2
generation of cameras do. But it's smaller and
it's not weather sealing, there is no articulating screen at all and it has that thinner cheaper
feeling magnesium alloy body that we see in the XT30,
XT20 those sorts cameras. But it can still be had at currently new brand new, for 600 US dollars. And you cannot argue with that price for such a great little performer. But there is one other camera that I want to introduce to you in this... I guess this rong, this price rong. That is the Fuji X-T200. This is the X-T100 not the 200. They are very similar from the front, from the back, they're
completely different. The X-T200 has a similar
fully articulating screen as the X-T4 that I showed you. I'm recording with the X-T4 for now so I can't show it to you again but it has that fully, kind
of front articulating screen, very similar to the X-T4. And for that reason alone, a
lot of people are really drawn to this new camera. Especially those that are vloggers or interested in doing kinda entry level
videography-photography hybrid. It does shoot in 4K however, it does have a limit on the time you can shoot with. It looks nice, it's a good performer. But aside from that, it does have that cheap feeling material. And I can't speak to the
durability of that device really, I can't speak to it all because I haven't tried that one yet. There is another consideration for those more budget
Fuji X cameras though they utilize a different sensor technology than the other Fuji devices that we've been speaking about so far. The X-T200 and 100 and one
other we'll see in a minute, utilize a bear style
filter over the sensor. Whereas, all the other devices
we've been talking about so far, use X-Trans. Now, I'm not gonna get into the difference of bear and X-Trans in this video. I only bring it up as it
affects the price quite a bit. The bear technology is what virtually every other
camera manufacturer uses, whereas X-Trans is kind of
Fuji's own proprietary thing. (laughs)
There's a lot of controversy around whether it's even better. For your purposes, and for
the purposes of most beginner, newer photographers, it matters not at all or hardly at all. And I wouldn't worry about it
too, too much at this point. It'll be far more important
for you to get a camera that you're comfortable with, that you'll use a lot
and begin getting into it before you ever have to worry
about that level of intricacy in my opinion. For the $500 price range, it is still possible to get
yourself a brand new X-T100. And if you don't need some of those incredible video
specs of the Fuji X-T200, this can work pretty well for you. It does have an experimental
articulating screen, fully articulating screen, where it articulates all
the way to the front. It's not hinged, but then on the back, you still have that same
up and down articulation. This is a really cool, I think a very cool
flip screen technology. But I think Fuji didn't go with it for any of the other cameras because it's just hefty. It comes with a big
weight and size footprint. And it seems to me that
they've abandoned this, which I think is too bad. I would have loved to have... Have continued to see this
in the X-T200, personally but c'est la vie, it is what it is. This is a great camera for photography, though it is a miss with video. It has a lot of promise being Fuji's first fully
articulating screen on any of their devices but with horrible video specs, it meant that it couldn't
deliver on the promise that it was gonna be
a good vlogging camera so, that was a big letdown
for a lot of people. And in many ways, if you have $500 to spend on
an entry level Fuji device and you want something brand new, I might recommend to you
something entirely different the Fuji X-A7. Again, this is the X-A5 not the X-A7, this is the previous generation, but they look very similar and are only one generation apart. The X-A7 beats the X-100 on photo specs for instance, you can get more
focus points out of the X-A7, and the LCD has a higher... It's higher resolution. The one disadvantage
depending on how you shoot there is no electric
viewfinder on this camera. You are forced to use the LCD
only to compose your shots. But, one camera I can highly
recommend if you have $500 and you don't mind a slightly used camera, is the really great Fuji X-T20. I've gone on record saying in the past that this right here was
my favorite travel camera. And, I made a rather long
three day motorcycle video dedicated, it was kind
of an odd to this camera, a little bit over the top. In fact, if I'm perfectly honest, but I still have nothing but
good to say about this camera. Unlike the X-T30, like I said, which is the newer version of this. It doesn't have that awful
cue menu button placement that's gonna mess you up and it does have the first touchscreen that Fuji offered which
the X-T2 did not have. So, in that regard, it's also... That at least one thing
that the X-T2 didn't have. Now, it doesn't have the
26 megapixels of the X-T30, so, you miss out on two
megapixels of image quality. It also doesn't have
the phase detect points all the way across the sensor, it doesn't support UHS-II cards so it doesn't shoot
continuous bursts as high. But aside from these things, you can't go wrong with
this camera, slightly used. And if it's not apparent,
this is one of my top, recommended entry points
into the Fuji system at least right now. Now, there are two other odd ducks at the 500 price range for Fuji. Both of these have fixed lens bodies similar to the X-100 series. I don't have either of
these cameras with me and I debated whether even talk about them they'll confuse you further. But, I think people would get mad a lot of people who love those devices If I didn't bring them up. The first one can be
purchased, brand new for US$500 and that is the Fuji XF10. This has a 24 megapixel sensor, it's extremely small pocketable even. It has a tilting screen and it has an 18.5 mm, 2.8 aperture lens that's supposed to be pretty decent. There is no EVF on that device and it's not particularly impressive when it comes to autofocus,
continuous shooting, and it feels cheap and flimsy. And the surprising thing about that camera is that it's the replacement quote unquote for the 2016 release of the X-70 camera, which has the same lens,
better quality of body, but half the megapixels at 16 megapixels. So right now you can buy a used X-70 at the same price as a new XF-10. Though if I'm honest with
you, I would prefer the X-70. I really love that device and I really wish Fuji would
put out an updated version utilizing a newer sensor and
some of the great features that we find on the X100V for those of us who
like a little bit wider of focal length, it's awesome. But, there are a lot of
much much older versions of these cameras that can be purchased for even less than $500 but I won't go through everything. Again, I want to emphasize
that the older you go, the less dependable, the less reliable and they need to remember that Fuji stops supporting older devices, so you have to be careful. So, for under $500, I'll
only mention a few candidates for between 400 and 500 dollars You can pick up a lightly
used version of the X-E3 here, which we already talked about, which is a really phenomenal value. But if you aren't bothered at all by a lack of an articulating screen, I'd highly recommend jumping on this as a great entry point on a budget. Another really great value used is the X-A5 which you can
get for only $250, used. For $250, you can come away
with the 24 megapixel camera that gets you most of what the X-A7 does. You just miss out on 334 focus points, the LCD is not as high resolution and when you can only
use the LCD to compose, that can affect the photography
experience I've found. And the autofocus is not all
that impressive on this device. But, if you plan on shooting
mostly still subjects, maybe this one could work well for you if you're on a really tight budget. This will certainly get you access to all of those really
great Fuji X lenses, and I would start with
those lenses first anyway, so you might consider it. So there you have it guys, hopefully somewhere in
this huge list of cameras stretching from $1,800 all the way to $250 you've seen a camera somewhere
that will meet your needs, and that you found it helpful in some way. I would really love to
hear in the comments which you decide on, and I wish you all the best
in your photography journey. And guys if you need some
help mastering this camera that you've chosen, or
whatever camera you've chosen, or photography in general,
please check out my workshops. Like I said I have workshops designed specifically for new Fuji X photographers to take you from zero to hero. You can access that workshop by becoming a member of the channel or by buying the workshops from denaeandandrew.com/workshops. But that's it for now, remember to do some good
with your Fuji cameras and we will talk to you again real soon.
