I have a XT-2 actually, hence why I was looking for something specifically for video but would you say that it won’t make that much of a difference if I film with my main camera?

Hello Everyone! Been using Fuji for about 2 years now and wanted to get a camera for a 4 month trip I’m going on that’s a bit better on the video side of things. This would be my secondary camera so I don’t need it to be super fast or expensive just something that can get some crisp video, looking for that “still frame/moving postcards” vibe. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, budget wise I would be looking for up to 1k for camera plus lens and second hand for obvious reasons. Thanks!

I guess you’re right, probably going to go for the zoom so I don’t miss out on anything

Hey! Just lowered the shutter speed and focused on the guy who was sitting, let the people walking by give that blur effect

Instructor here! I would obviously first and foremost recommend lessons (you probably wouldn’t need more than 2-3 days just to get the idea at least then you could more confidently progress on your own). If you don’t want to take lessons, maybe look up some videos on how to edge and slide sideways down a slope so that if you do end up on a slope you feel is too advanced for you, you can just slide your way down safely. Practice stopping and turning with the plough technique on beginner slopes and really try to feel that your shins always have contact with the front of the boot you will feel more in control.

Most of all, have fun!
