   I’m thrilled to have landed here. I’m done with Nikon. My D4s ($7,000) has had so many issues. My recent Fuji FxPro purchase has made me realise there’s more to life than Nikon and Canon. I live in remote Alice Springs and I’m ready to invest for a switch.

   This is one of my favourite features on Shotkit. After that I started following James online – he does beautiful job! I do hope that one day I’ll be able to try X-T1 on one of my weddings – James is my Yoda :)

   Hey James, just saw a video of yours on YouTube last night, loved your box with Polaroids, anyways..I’m actually getting a x-t1 this weekend and was wondering where you happen to get that leather brown strap on your body. Thanks

   I love that kit. I want to include a roll of film during my weddings, but I am still not very confident with shooting on film, so I am just still practicing around :)

   Hey James, love your work – you’re inspiring! I’ve just taken the plunge and am about to shoot my first wedding on Fuji after lugging heavy Canon gear around for years. Wish me luck!

   I noticed in the video you had the Fuji EF42 flash attached but above you mention the Nissin i40 (which is also pictured). Just keen to learn why you now prefer the Nissin and if it works seamlessly with the Yongnuo triggers, or if you had to adapt it?

   Thanks in advance!

   Hey Kevin,

   I remember printing a 30×40 inch print from a 6 megapixel Fuji s2 pro and being amazed at how good it looked… so 16 megapixels just isn’t an issue… :-)

   Hey Alejandro,

   Yep, I still shoot the Fuji as well as the Nikon in a few situations where I needed faster continuous focusing, however with the new firmware update, I’m looking forward to putting the Nikon away again!

   Hey James,
   Love your work and the video you have of your typical day of shooting a wedding is awesome. I was considering moving from my Canon 5DMII and bunch of lenses to the Fuji xt1 system, but I’m worried about resolution. Is it high enough to be able to make large albums? Say a 2 page spread that would give a 60×30? I’d love to know your opinion about that.
   Cheers!

   Hi James
   Do you still using Fuji camera?. I see some of your photos were taken with Nikon D750.
   I have a X-T1 + 14mm+23+56mm and a Canon 5D MKIII+ Sigma 35 and i´m thinking change the 5D and the sigma for another X-T1 + Fuji 50-14mm or 90mm. It´s dificult for me take this decision.

    Looking at your website James, it looks like you’ve made a switch from Fuji to Nikon with the D750? Can you tell us a bit about that? Thanks!

    Hey James!

    Do you notice much difference between the Fuji files/lenses (bokeh, colours, dynamic range), compared to bigger DSLRs?

    Cheers,

    Brad.

      Hey Brad! Not a whole lot no… Bokeh is obviously a little less as it’s a smaller sensor… Colours are better (fuji is known for their colours!) and dynamic range is a really strong point in these too. Biggest gripes are the AF and the flash system.

    I’m very interested to hear what James thinks of the new Fuji X-T10

      Hey Jared, I have only had a very quick play with it! The new focusing system looked awesome. Much faster! That was the main thing I noticed!
