For my Street Photography Videos on Youtube, I use:
My primary Camera: The FujiFilm X-T3 mirrorless camera.
It does 4k 60fps – Perfect camera for video and photography!
My secondary cameras: The beautiful Fuji X100f & the small Ricoh GR II.
The lenses I use:
My favorite lens for street photography is the Fujinon 35mm 1.4 lens.
My to-go lens for video and vlogging is the Fujinon 18-55mm. with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)
For portrait photography, I use the 56mm 1.2 lens. It’s a bokeh monster!
Microphones
My shotgun mic: Rode VideoMic Pro Plus.
My wireless lavalier mic: Sennheiser ME2 Lavalier Set.
Camera bag: Everyday Peak Design bag.
Storage: SD Cards & External Harddisk
SD Cards: Lexar Professional UHS-II/U3 Card (Up to 150MB/s read)
I use Lacie Rugged External Harddisks.
Camera accessories
For my point of view-videos I use:
The other two cameras I use for street photography
Before I bought my X-T3, the majority of my street photography, like 80% of my photos are shot with the Fujifilm X100F.
I wrote a short and share my favorite photos shot with the X100f from Fuji. To this day, it’s still one of my favorite cameras.
You can get the Fujifilm x100f on Amazon.
Btw. If you are looking for a camera bag, check out my opinion of the Everyday Camera bag from Peak Design.
Ricoh GR II
My secondary camera is the Ricoh GR II. It’s really small, fits in my pocket and it’s a great starter camera. I also wrote a short review of the Ricoh GR II here. You can get the Ricoh GR II on Amazon.
Photography books
In terms of books, I can highly recommend these photography books.
And it’s important to underline, that cameras and gear will only take you so far.
If you want to become a great street photographer, it’s, of course, important to have a camera that is good enough. And when you have that, you need to study and practice.
My videos
Here are my favorite cameras in each category of photography:
- Street Photography Cameras.
- Small Cameras.
- Travel Cameras.
- Cheap Cameras.
- Wedding Photography Cameras
- Landscape Photography Cameras
- Polaroid Instax Cameras.
I don’t think there is any perfect camera. It depends on what you use it for. Press Photographers needs other gear than street photographers.
