Why I Left Canon After 14 Years: How Fujifilm Reignited My Passion for Photography

After 14 years of being a dedicated Canon shooter, I found myself at a crossroads. Canon had been my go-to for everything, but I was looking for something that would push my creativity in a new direction. So, I decided to rent a Fuji X100F, just to see what all the buzz was about. That one rental changed everything.

From the moment I started using it, I felt something different. The way the X100F handled, the colors, and even the way it made me slow down and think more intentionally about my shots—it was all clicking. I knew I was falling in love with the process all over again. It wasn’t long before I decided to buy an X-T4, and I was fully onboard with the Fuji system. It just fit my style.

But then, something unexpected happened—I was gifted an X-H2S. And that was the final nudge I needed. The X-H2S is a powerhouse, with speed, precision, and image quality that’s off the charts. I’ve been using it for my event and portrait work, and it has honestly elevated my photography in ways I didn’t expect. It’s like Fuji has this way of making you fall back in love with the art of photography.

Making the switch after 14 years with Canon wasn’t an easy decision, but looking back now, I know it was the right one. Fuji has brought something fresh to my work and given me the kind of inspiration I was craving.
