I remember back in 2001, people were calling Nikon D1X 6MP was overkill and 3MP was a sweat spot. People were saying. "what's next? useless 12MP???" Also I remember so many so-called enthusiastic photographer were refusing the idea of having video function in digital cameras. 20+ years later, those perspective changed so much!
I HATE the hate like if you ever compare the a9 and a1 yoiu can see the difference in resolution....... if you want high end resolution yes theres a difference this isnt samsung grain of sand size 600 megapixel cameras
Thanks for sharing your perspective. 🙃
😊
🙃
The only Fuji camera I wish to own is the X-T5 and that’s just for hobby street photography and short video clips if I need to. If I wanted a camera for any professional or serious content creation I would choose either a full frame Sony or Canon.
😊👊🏻👌🏻
I think you're just a bad professional if fuji isn't cutting it for you lol
Did you watch the all the video? There are quite a few deal breaking issues that my Fuji cameras have.. ie Hot pixels and dead pixels 😩 Thanks for commenting 🙃
For my professional photography work, I just use single point focus, I would never buy a camera just because it does have amazing autofocus. I think people rely a lot on technology
Thanks for sharing your experience dude 💪🏻 and absolutely there are many factors one should consider when choosing a camera!!👌🏻
Just recently move to Sony too. I’ve got issue with AF and focus peaking (when use with manual lens) even it already show to be focusing. However the fuji color and tone is amazing. Hope they could solve the focus issue soon 😢
Totally agree! 👊🏻
Autofocus is the main reason I switched from Fuji, I had the xt4 & it was jus too many misses for me
Oh interesting, I'm not alone then LOL. What camera system did you go over to in the end? 👊🏻
@@BenjahMedia Canon r6ii
Nice!!!
If you wanted to shoot mostly video, you needed the X-H2s. I've never had "dead pixels" on my X-T5 or my X-H2s. Only an occasionally dirty sensor. Anyway, have fun with the boring Sony! ;) JK mate, whatever works for you is what you should use!
😂 haha thank you and yeah no bells and whistles to play around with on the Sony, but all good so far, seems to be more reliable. Ideally I did want the xt5 for both video and photography, just those annoying hot pixels started showing up 🙄 Thanks for your comment 👊🏻
thank you Benja for the video. Interesting I had a somewhat similar experience for different reasons. I have been a street photographer for years before it become popular. I still own 7 older fuji cameras including the x100f and x1--v for the street the others with vintage lenses I like for b&w. I purchased these cameras on a preorder basis before all of there overhyped stuff (ridiculous). I loved my Fuji's for the street however the autofocus was lacking. I did not have the pinpoint accuracy for the street and the images 40% of the time lacked the clarity I needed especially when shooting from the hip. I then decided about over 1 year after purchasing the x100v to try the Sony A7c. Only a little larger than the Fuji with very comfortable ergonomics and WOW. The autofocus was pot on, images crisp and sharp with great dynamic range imho superior to Fuji. Paired with the terrific and very small 40mm f2.5g lens and the very underrated and tiny 28-60 f4 for the street I was blown away. I had after purchasing this when the new X100vi came out had preordered early. After a couple of days, I realized that it is my "wishful thinking" is why I ordered the camera. Cancelled it and purchased a second Sony A7c II. This is comparable to the Sony a7IV in many ways. Now when traveling I have my two sonys and a couple of lenses and couldn't be happier. It is really really sad Fuji is not stepping up to the plate with their autofcous - cheers
Great comment, thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve come to very similar conclusions and yeah sometimes you just gotta go with what works best for you. I almost forget about the A7c cameras, but I can see them making a great little street photography set up. And on the plus side you’ve still got your Fuji cameras there as and when you want to mess around with them aye. 🙏👌🏻👊🏻
Do the dead pixels appear after the camera gets warm? I own an XH1 and the XT3 and I never noticed a dead pixel. I'm not looking for them, but I use magnification while focusing, so I guess I would probably notice it. I understand your position. I own a Fuji system, an old Nikon apsc system and a Canon full frame system, so I can combine based on my needs, but I can't see myself selling the Fujis, without buying new ones. Actually I'm planning to buy an old Xpro1 for 400 euro. :)
Yeah it seems to show those pixels if I shoot anything more a few minutes so quite likely. Ooo nice sounds good! I must admit the xpro series looks so fun, love that it shows the film sim on the back 👌🏻👌🏻 Thanks for sharing 💪🏻
The autofocus is much better with Sony/Canon/Nikon, these models are better suited for professional work. As a hobby photographer, the autofocus of my old XT-2 is really sufficient for me, although I rarely film videos. For me, the advantage of my Fuji is its more compact dimensions with lenses and overall lower purchase cost.
Absolutely agree, thanks for sharing your experience! I can’t lie I would love an xt1 or xt2 just to play around with or take when I go travelling! 👌🏻👊🏻
A6400 is smaller no ?
@@JJARCHIE the 6400 is smaller this was the reason why i choose the xt2. I hold the fuji in my hand and bought it…
@@locker1964 you said " the advantage of my Fuji is its more compact dimensions with lenses and overall lower purchase cost. " so now the xt2 was bought because it was bigger ?
Probably my second favorite Fuji lens. I threw it on the X-T5 and it has been amazing no lie.
It’s crazy how small it is yet has such a high quality image! Thanks for sharing your experience. 👌🏻💪🏻
It's true. Autofocus is an issue. I own the X-H2. Took it once for a professional job and now I use it for stock photography and personal use.
Nice, doesn’t the xh2 have 8k recording? Or am I going mad 😂 Yeah it’s a shame, you can get some great results with Fuji, however they aren’t reliable for pro work in my experience 🥹 Thanks for sharing.
I still use the 16mp XE1 for pro work and have no issues with my images or clients whatsoever. My cheapest prints starts at 800euros. I've done everything from big prints in fineart galleries to magazine and vinylrecord covers to book covers.
@@stayuntilforever Maybe your customers aren't that demanding.
@@michelecintramika8482 or they appriciate good images in print?
@@michelecintramika8482 can you name me one customer who would be more demanding when it comes to photography?
The a6700 has faster af , uncropped 4k60 , better rolling shutter at half ( 30 vs 15 , xt3 has 20 ) Fx30 has that but lost out a bit on the faster af , but has xlr support and a built in fan
Thanks for the heads up!
Auto focus is must for me, Fuji is mainly for amateurs to be honest.
Okay Mr professional 😂
The more and more I make videos for myself, I’m starting to notice how much I do need autofocus! 😝
@@yingthao6855 🏆
Ive been shooting weddings professionally for the past 5 years with Fuji 🤔 used canon full frame Cameras for 10 years prior to that. My work is still at a professional level.
@@Nightshade1881 Fuji cameras are play toys really 🤔
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm still waiting for the market to settle, to decide my migration to mirrorless. I'll wait until next year. Fuji was one alternative, but the reliability thing and the price / performance ratio was not right. There are reasons why pro photographers mostly use Canon and Sony and some Nikon now.
Very wise indeed, I wish I had your patience! 😂 all the best with your camera journey!
My friend also switched from X-T5 to Sony but A7RV I considering switching from my X-T3 too, but idk to what camera, leaning towards Lumix S5II x, since they finally got phase AF, and I don't have a budget sadly :(
Oh nice, yeah cameras are quite expensive you wanna make sure when your spending all that money you get the right camera for you. The s5ii x is definitely a cheaper option but it’s a L mount system and L mount lenses are quite pricey. I wish the best on your camera endeavours 😊👊🏻
@@BenjahMedia thanks! 😌
@@quite1enougha6700 is a mini a7rv ( a7rv in crop mode )
Sounds like you need to buy a sensor cleaning kit and make sure you dont have any dust inside it. That might remove the spot on your videos.
Unfortunately I’ve tried that 🥹 thanks for the tip though, much appreciated! 💪🏻
Dust on the sensor results in a grey blob on the image, totally different problem
i bought an XT-3 for pennies and I love it. its got actual sensor damage but I print a photo once every few months - like if I love the shot that much I’m ok with doing a few touch ups. I also mostly take photos of interesting rocks so I can live with the autofocus though sometimes it also drives me nuts. sometimes something exciting is happening and Id rather have captured the shot even if it is blurry but it wont snap if the focus isnt locked and that drives me bananas
That’s awesome, I’ve been meaning to get some of my work printed myself! Any good websites let me know 🤙👊🏻 I’ve shot some great work with my Fuji cameras, but yeah your right, it does take a little more work than some other brands… Thanks for sharing 😊
I agree, I'm in the same position, but I'm interested in the nikon z9...I've always been a nikon guy but loved the look of fuji. Also on the fuji xt4 the buffer stops at 9 shots in raw and slowes down where I miss the shot entirely. The focus is a big issue also...
It’s a shame that fuji just seem to miss the mark when it comes to reliability.… Ohh nice, one of my buddies shoots Nikon,I actually managed to have a look at the z6 iii up close recently and I was quite impressed. I think, don’t quote me on this but I heard Nikon have merged with RED cameras recently, so that’s exciting for video specs if true. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
Z6111 also a great camera, it's totally sold out for weeks everywhere. Yeah they bought RED, great move by nikon. Will still use my small fuji cameras and retro lenses for travel. So light, stylish, fun to shoot. But for pro jobs, they can miss focus and slow down on ya...😊
Absolutely 👊🏻
@@BenjahMediaz6iii is insane with 6k60 internal raw for 2,5k usd with no overheating
Very cool indeed!!
Considering upgrading from my very solid and reliable X-T2 / X-E3 combo. I like to change brands once and a while, but it can be a bit of hassle. Will continue to follow your channel to see how your new experience with Sony goes. Congrats!
Oh nice, the xt2 has a very nice sensor! Glad your not having any troubles like me with yours… I totally agree, I’ve been putting it off for a while now but needs to be done haha. Appreciate that my friend and many more videos to come 🙃🙏
For video work Sony FX30 is the most affordable right now in the market, 10bit 4:2:2 4k120 with dual card slot, but if you want FF go for a7S3, ZV E-1 is cheaper but it has some issues with overheating. There is something of a sony color that makes it more "dramatic and cinematic" you will love it. you should try to sell your XT4 too imo, there is no need to hold on to Fuji's camera, Sony color is great if you know how to grade its footage/raw. The only thing that I think fuji do better (aside from all of your opinion) is it retain much better highlight compare to sony, I'm been using a74 for awhile now but the highlight is not that good, its not clipping its just not as good as fuji, the shadow is much better tho.
Ahh thank you 🙏 that’s super helpful! I don’t mind grading log so the whole colour science thing doesn’t worry me so much. I did think about the fx30, only draw back for me is the sensor size, however I’m not ruling it out completely. 💪🏻👌🏻
For photography Nikon it's the best for recovering highlights. And Sony it's the best for recovering the shadows. That vary model to model, but as a general rule is accurate that Nikon is great to recover highlights in raw photo. I don't know about video.
@@BenjahMediafx30 does 4k60 10bit 422 from a full crop with 15ms of rolling shutter. The a7iv does it with a large crop at 4k60 ( 1,5x ) sampling from 14mp instead of 22mp and around 15ms of rolling shutter. The 4k30 does it from 7k oversample BUT 30ms of rolling shutter , the xt3 for reference has 20ms.
Ahh nice one, what a very insightful comment! 😊 Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Dentro del mundo profesional hay que saber diferenciar entre el equipo adecuado para video y para fotografía! Básico!
Appreciate your comment, and yes I’ve come to learn that 👊🏻
i got same problem with fuji so i only use fuji for photograph and sony for video recoding
It’s a shame aye, but defo a good combo! I’m shocked at how much better Sony autofocus is, still blows my mind! 🙃
Nope u can using sony for everything sony take nice picture many professional using sony for photography, Fuji just overrated these day
@@nandysullivan3005 agree fuji now is overrated but i still love film simulationl on fuji after 5 year with xt2
It's definitely good fun messing around with the film sims!!
I shoot photos with A7R3 and video with XH2S.
Deal breakers mean you gotta go. Fuji cameras don’t cut it? You gotta go. Hot pixels? The sensor needs to be fixed. Replace the sensor. Unhappy customer? Gotta go. Prefer full frame? Gotta go. Unreliable? Gotta go. Annoyed? Gotta go. Disappointed and let down? Bye bye Fuji. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Yep! It’s the sad truth 😂 appreciate your comment. 💪🏻
No ONE buys a FUJI for its VIDEO capabilities, that is what SONY is for! Same for a LEICA, no one buys it for video! This video is RUBBISH!
Nobody SHOULD at least. But, I learned this the hard way as well. The video specs on paper are very good!
I have to admit I did originally, thanks for watching and giving your opinion! 👍🏻
This is true, and you can get some really nice results visually… sadly though like I mentioned Fuji has issues and just not reliable aye! Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
The XH2S and XS20 have nice video output... 🤔
@@amermeleitor super nice! I think the argument is the lens selection / the way stabilization works is way less ideal for video. At least in my case with an XT-4/16-55. The difference with a Sony and their 24-70 is tremendous. No breathing on the corners of the frame as you zoom, significantly closer to parfocal, smoother stabilization for video. Fuji stabilization is super jumpy for video. Might be better on the newer ones
As always great video! Great choice in cameras!
Thanks buddy, loads more camera related content planned!! :D
Is this the end of funny Fuji lens reviews 😭
Haha not at all, I still have one to review… many more of my silly camera gear videos to come 😂
Should I be using autofocus with continuous shooting when I’m trying to capture things like maybe people running, playing volleyball, or just doing motions where I I want to capture almost every bit of something let’s say a man twirling his date in a dress. Would I use auto focus with continuous shooting then?
You’ll have to have a play around with it, so many variables when it comes to this sort of thing. In general if your not confident with manual focusing, the xt4s autofocus isn’t that bad for most normal applications like you mentioned! Personally I wouldn’t rely on it but there are loads of settings to customise how your autofocus responds to different situations. Sorry not the most clear answer but yeah it just depends lol. All the best with it and have fun 💪🏻👍🏻
You might have just convinced me lol
😝💪🏻
@@BenjahMedia also I thought there was a big difference between the old and new one and the best part. Is this one I can get for about 350 usd !!!
You almost can't go wrong at that price!!
should I get the xt30ii or xt4? I'm a complete beginner but I want a flip up screen and a little bit more video capabilities, which the xt30ii doesn't have. I mostly wanna get into photography but I still want to have the option to take good videos If I want to haha
It’s always nice to have those video options! Personally I’d go for the xt4 😝
@@BenjahMedia Thank you! :)
Xt4 or xs20 ?
I think out of the two, if money isn’t a component in the decision go for the xs20, better autofocus and more modern… if your on a tight budget the xt4 is still awesome in my opinion. I used it today 😝

This vs the fuji 50mm 1.0. What say you?
I’ve not had the pleasure to test the 50mm f1.0 yet, you might have to let me know! 😂 the 56mm 1.2 however is definitely one of the best looking Fuji lenses. 👌🏻
@BenjahMedia I'm this torn because I have tried the 1.0 50mm 😅 pls try it and compare I know your fans need that content
What is the image quality compared to the 23mm 1.4? Thanks.
I prefer the 23mm purely because of the 1.4 aperture. As far as image quality I mean that’s totally subjective, but both quality lenses. 🙂
Have you tried vlogging with it? He is the af sound with a shotgun mic?
It’s usually fine with a shotgun mic and if your not moving around a great deal it doesn’t get too loud. Best results though is just set it up manually if you can 👌🏻
With the firmware updates that continue, I love my XT4. It's a sleeper and a steal for anyone who wants to buy used. As much as I'd love to own an xh2s, I can't seem to sell my xt4. It's plenty good.
Absolutely agree, don’t think I’ll ever sell mine! 😂
