Review Of Blink Xt2 Security Camera

I bought this to use on my Blink security camera base unit. It is a perfect fit for my needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased to back up my blink camera works as required!

I am a professional photographer making social media for large brands and use the Fuji system and have been since the xt1 came out. I have put about 200k shots on my xt2 and it needed to go in for some repairs. I picked up the Xt3 and grip while I waited and am very impressed. I just sold my last Canon 5diii today because I no longer found it useful to justify keeping and sold used for exactly what this camera costs.  The XT3 is 95% of what I need now. Amazing stills quality - Viewfinder is better than the XT2, faster autofocus, buttons are slightly changed for the better. Otherwise, pretty similar camera. For video, big improvement in AF continuous tracking. It works so well. I have been using the face detection mode and eye detection and it is very accurate and tracks beautifully in a non-autofocus looking manner.  I looks like a manual focus pull and not weird twitchy AF for video I am always seeing. I highly recommend this camera for video. I am using this body with an Atomos Ninja V monitor/recorder and all built around a SmallRig cage and accessories and it is working perfectly.  Only cons I can find: Battery life is pretty bad - I am getting worse battery life than with the xt2. My camera goes from showing 3 bars on the battery meter and then 5min later it goes dead. Maybe a firmware fix?? Files are massive with video, but I guess thats a given when shooting 4:2:2 10bit 4K video. Only other complaint is that high ISO performance isnt quite up to par with what I need on occasion. Usable to 3200 in my opinion. Not keeping up with my 5Diii above 1600iso, but I guess thats the beauty of full-frame. No improvement in ISO performance I can see over XT-2.  Overall, a slightly better camera than the Xt-2. I need 2 bodies for work, so I will be keeping it, but if I were not shooting professionally and already had an XT2, I wouldnt but this personally, unless using for video and need 4k60p and 10bit color.

I'll update this review if anything changes, but right now, this unit loads everything up in the blink of an eye.

I was a little reluctant to leave a good review of this camera because now everyone will be using, but it is absolutely amazing. I had the XT2 and loved everything about it. Fujifilm knows how to take care of their customers. They release firmware updates all the time that almost give you a brand new camera! With DCI Recording and 4k at 60fps its a more than capable cinema camera as well as a legendary stills camera. If you buy it, I suggest grabbing some good prime Fuji lenses other than the kit 18-55 and just gaze at the the incredible picture. You wont be disappointed.

This makes my xt2 a complete camera system that I feel can handle anything I need it for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quite some time now I have research security cameras and since there so many on the market I was looking for a camera with easy set up and some type of technical support and it would be an additional bonus if it was cost efficient. Then I came across the Eufy Security Outdoor Camera and it is a great asset to making our home feel secure & safe. The camera was packaged very well & the set up was at a minimal. Notifications were instant with the Eufy Security Outdoor Camera and the picture, sound, and light are very clear with excellent image quality. Also the night and spotlight responsive provides visible setting. I am ecstatic about the Eufy Security Outdoor Camera and would definitely recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] V150 USA (Nationwide) Security Camera is a very well-made camera. Looking at it, it remind me of the old school polaroid cameras. Loved that is it solar panel powered. The apps works well and can get notifications and view pictures remotely

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve experimented with many cameras in my home: blink, nest, etc. The ecobee is by far my favorite. The sleek and powerful design really is a nice aesthetic. It was extremely streamlined to set up and use.

I bought this after my full-frame Sony went on the blink. Grandkids were coming and I needed a camera fast but, thinking my 'good' camera could be repaired, decided I didn't want to spend a lot of money on an interim replacement. After a couple of weeks of shooting I've come to love it. It's light, fast, colors are true and the dynamic range is very good for a camera at this price point. I've paired it with a Sigma 56mm 1.4 Art Lens and a Tamron 15-200mm zoom and am getting great photos.
