The time of taking five to seven bracketed shots was over. And, even when it was absolutely necessary to utilize HDR, I only needed three brackets. It changed the way I shoot and edit photos. When I switched from Canon to Sony, the most significant change that impacted my photography was the incredible dynamic range of the Sony sensors.
In four years, Sony has not created even one APS-C lens. Sony neglected the APS-C systems and concentrated all their efforts on full frame cameras and lenses. I remember a few years ago when someone from a photo community predicted that Sony would not have the bandwidth to develop both full frame and APS-C systems simultaneously. I could not accomplish everything with Sony. I was also looking for a modern dual memory card functionality that would give me a completely redundant backup workflow from start to finish.Īnd, finally, I wanted my travel camera to have a reliable and straightforward GPS tagging functionality. I craved for a combination of a compact weather sealed camera and lens. Need for the Ultimate Travel Cameraįor a long time, I wanted the ultimate travel camera setup. I was also intrigued to explore the completely different design of Fuji cameras with their various mechanical dials and gazillions of customizable buttons.Īlso, as a photographer and educator, I thought it would be good to learn another system so I can intelligently discuss it. I was curious to explore the cult-like experience from the inside. Sometimes, they praise Fuji so much that it feels like they are part of a cult-like Scientology or CrossFit. I know plenty of fellow photographers who shoot with Fujifilm and love the Fujifilm experience. Shot with Fujifilm X-T2 and Fujinon 18-135mm

It feels like a modern approach to photography when a company listens to users and makes improvements to existing cameras through software updates. I find Fuji’s approach to be unique and refreshing, which makes them more like a software startup rather than a consumer electronics company. Since Fujifilm launched its XT2 model in August 2016, it has released three major firmware updates that extend the camera’s functionality by adding hundreds–that’s right, hundreds–of new and updated features.īy the end of 2017, most of the initial XT2 reviews were outdated because, by then, it was a very different camera. Why? The reason was because of Fuji’s unique approach to firmware updates. When I decided to switch to Fujifilm, I only considered the top of the line XT2 model, but I had difficulty finding reliable reviews. I was hoping the combination of the streamlined Fuji menu system with the mechanical dials and customizable buttons would offer more flexibility. With Sony, I felt that I could not customize my photo equipment how I wanted. You know exactly what you want to see in a camera that is closely aligned with your photography workflow.
When you mature as a photographer, you develop a unique photography routine and habits. Reasons for SwitchingĪs I considered the switch this time, I had only one brand in mind and that was Fujifilm. The reason I picked Sony was because of the quality of digital files it produced compared to Canon. I was eager to explore the mirrorless realm and did not have a particular camera brand in mind. I was not only dissatisfied with Canon but with DSLR technology in general. I switched from Canon to Sony four years ago, I had a very different motivation. I got interested in Fujifilm because of the need for a better user experience, but I stayed with it because of image quality, and stellar Fuji lenses. It actually turned out to be entirely the opposite of my expectations. I must first admit that the Fujifilm was not what I expected at all.
