I rly love how you always tell what camera you filmed with. Loved if more channels did that too. #goodthinking #onestepahead
It's nice to see what camera Jordan is currently enjoying the most. But it's more informative when he films with the camera(s) being reviewed.
@@WildBikerBill The film segments of certain reviews with the review camera. It's a great compromise, because we get the high quality from the high-end camera with all the proper video features, but we also get to see/hear what the review camera is like.
I couldn't agree more!
You all probably dont care but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any tips you can offer me!

✨👑✨ for you
❤ for your effort.
That Canon's impressive. Chris was using it with the lens cap on, and still found it "pleasant to use". Excellent.
Ian Rosie You never get a bad image when you never really get an image 👍🏼.
It's a 0% ND filter.
😭
2:46 Chris looking through the M50 with the lens cap on. 😁
That's was a prototype Canon branded IR filter. It just looks black and opaque to the un-initiated photog. Photos didn't come out though so I cant prove it. :)
evf isnt TTL, so you can still see stuff with the lens cap on.
lol
He has a biakugan🤣
Came for the review, stayed for the entertainment! Loved how much fun you guys had with this one - more!
Perfect timing Chris and Jordan! Just about to look for X-T200 comparisons and tadaaaa... there it is! Thanks a lot! 👍
hey, which one did u end up buying?
@@tiliatae Bought the T200, but sold it soon afterwards for a T30. The X-Trans is way more suitable for my needs and I missed the flippy screen. Didn't use the tilty screen at all.
@@r3vo811 Yes, I don't think I'll use the tilty screen much either, but the T30 is way too expensive, I'll have to stick with the T200 I just bought 🙃 thanks for the reply!!
@@tiliatae How's the Bokeh in video with the kit lense?
@@Azamkhan-np1in I don't use the camera for videos, so i wouldn't know. I also haven't really tested the camera yet.
I've been using Olympus (E-PL3) for 8 years until it broke. Loved it. Got the Sony A6300 in August 2019. Love this camera even more.
Me too, EPL-3 is legend. I am considering EPL-9 no matter how old that sensor is
I've been looking at XT200. I considered the 6300. The issues that get me are the rolling shutter, the soft 1080p, and the overheating.
What? A6400 is already exists. Why not to buy it instead of A6300?
Thanks to all the comparisons you guys are putting a lot of hard work I decided to go with Fuji X-A7 as my first camera. As an enthusiast my primary need is landscapes. I am still a beginner so not much idea about lens systems yet but looks like Fuji got the widest variety to suit the need. Thanks again for great content.
Just picked up the X-T200 for 650Cdn/w kit lens. So far pretty impressed with the dynamic range and general image quality. Now to save up for a good telezoom.
It must be the good weather that these two were having a blast making this video!
You guys are so much fun. You make the only videos worth watching on DPR.
I've been looking for my first mirrorless camera to buy then I stumbled upon this vid 2months ago. I've been considering these three really. And now, I've came up to a conclussion to bought fijifilm x-t200. Thank you for the great review! I have so much more to learn in photography and I'm so so excited. I'll do my best. Thanks again!
Hey!! Are you liking the camera??
Thankful for firmware updates. The Fuji XT has had updates that fix the AF complaints. 😁
A week back, I was actually wondering if there would be entry level mirrorless shootout soon. Today, I just opened TH-cam and here it is. Great stuff, thanks. :)
I haven't used the X-T200, but it makes sense to put it in the first spot. It's too bad the X-T200 has 15 (4k) 30 (1080p) minute recording limits. I've used a pair of M50 bodies as the backbone of my video work since around July 2018. They generally just work, thought there are drawbacks like the limited physical controls, limited customization (no custom modes), grain at high ISO (especially in video), 30 minute record limit, near useless 4k, EF-M/RF mount separation, and not showing audio levels on the live-view screen. in 2018 I saw the M50 as one of very few options in its price point, though now there are a lot more routes to go here. I'd actually put the A6100 above the M50 here for things like not having a video recording cut-off at 30 minutes and the build the camera just feels a bit nicer than the M50, though you guys do make a good point about the viewfinder resolution. Also, the wobbly 4k on the Sony is not great (M50 also has wobbly 4k but I rarely use it due to no DPAF and a heavy crop).
I guess there's a trick to bypass the limit.
May i know what is your opinion on m50 vs xt200? Im thinking of getting one for my mostly video recording. I dont do photography as much. I understand the xt200 will have overheat problem after 15 mins, do i take m50 then?
Or xt200 have other features better for video than m50 (if i decide to be ok with 15mins recording)
@@DrFRADZI I haven't used the X-T200 so I don't know anything about overheating on that camera. Did the DPReview guys mention it in their video? I can't recall. If it does.. I assume it's in 4k, which makes it a wash because the M50's 4k mode has a huge crop and strong rolling shutter (making it useful for only a few situations). I'd expect the Fujifilm to have better dynamic range and low light in photo/video. That said, Canon's autofocus in video in the M50 is good and I've seen people mention that Fujifilm still struggles a bit. I think you can get by just fine with either one. It's more a matter of learning your tools and making the most of their features/quirks.
@@ScottJWaldron thankyou so much. Really appreciate your response. I guess i will go for xt200 and take less than 15mins video then. 😁😬
"It's too bad the X-T200 has 15 (4k) 30 (1080p) minute recording limits" no it's great, it means they don't have an extra tax slapped on top of them in Europe which makes them hypercompetitive in Europe. That law is going away now though, and with it Fuji will also remove more recording limits.
Quite interesting to see the M50 hold its own. I'd like to see what Canon do with a mark ii.
I'm rather looking forward to the M5 mark ii, but it'll have to be early 2021!
Well you have it now. Very dissapointing
@@isaacsanchez7317 yeah, that didn’t age well. Don’t know what they’re playing at.
@@DarrylUK idk i just hope i can get my m50mk1 for 400 right now😂😂😂
@@isaacsanchez7317 I disagree. I think the mark ii is a worthwhile upgrade unless you want to use 4k video.
It has 30% better battery life, better autofocus and a clean hdmi out.
I love all of your reviews, but this one is spot on, you made me convinced to get the Fujifilm X-T200, I bought it last week! thanks, Chris & Jordan
Hi, how are you finding the fuji? Im about to buy the xt200 based on this review as well
Hey, are you liking the camera? I'm about to buy it
@@alexleemd did you?? are you liking it?
@@tiliatae still liking it so far.. it is a very convenient and packed camera, specially useful for online event/meeting
@@tiliatae I ended up going with a Sony A6400 because Sony has a larger lens ecosystem.
Great review. I’m very happy with your conclusions because I’ve just ordered myself the X-T200 having spent much deliberation on the 3 you’ve featured here. I’ve been a fan of Canon EOS for many years and decided now it’s time for a change. Many thanks for the review...excellent work.
How are you liking the XT200 so far??
Thank you for the review. I have been watching a number of different videos as I am trading in my equipment and going mirrorless. Just trying to get the bang for the budget. Without videos like yours, not sure if I would have paid much attention to Fuji.
I can definitely say X-T200 wins this one and its a huge improvement over the X-T100. Solid choice.
Tech Inspected X-T30 based on its specs would win over all of these cameras. It’s a second tier pro camera but it could pass the entry-intermediate category. It just doesn’t have an audio output.
@@snowwalker9999 as a solo content creator the flip screen is hugely important for me. And yes I have an X-T30. External monitors are a pain in the butt! 😅
@@snowwalker9999 X-T30 has the same audio output as the X-T200, via the USB plug.
problemat1que it’s good too know cause i really liked that camera
@@snowwalker9999I've been looking at both cameras. The problem with the Xt30 is the 2.5mm input and the 1080 recording limit of 15 minutes.
The issue with the Xt200 is no Eterna and no Acros.
So am I the only old guy along with our hosts that laughed at the Chumbawamba reference?
Nope, i thought it was funny too. :)
Pretty funny stuff.
Am I the only guy here so old he just looked up who Chumbawamba was?
*raises hand* right there with you, boss.
I was just listening to this song yesterday after almost 2 decades of not hearing it and now the reference comes up. I was laughing with them lol
Excellent review based on your comments I bought the xt200 very delighted with it 😉👍 in my book it’s a winner for the money. Keep up the great vids you two are great but nuts at times very enjoyable!!
Do have any heating issues?
Amazing how many words Chris can pull out of his head.
I'm not in the market for a entry level aps-c camera but I I still enjoy watching this. If you two made reviews of fertilisers, I would watch it. You are the best!!!
The Fuji X-T200 is without a doubt a very good camera, but the overall cost of lenses for the Fuji system could rule it out unless you have very deep pockets!! The Canon may not have many specific EM mount lenses, BUT, with a good basic kit lens (with OIS) and a 22mm F2 prime it could cover most needs for most people! And the high ISO quality isn't far off the Fuji. Sure, Fuji lenses are worth it IF you can afford them. The Sony does not offer that much for the money, and also compared to the M50, its menus are a bit chaotic. It all depends on the importance you place on 4K. For me the cropping on the Canon is acceptable and doesn't matter as I am not a Video expert anyway and happy with HD (Happy Days!).
After selling my XT3 i bought canon SL3/250D just to have something while i wait for the R5 and i got it used with 2 lenses and a bag with 1500 on shutter count for 350$ so i think i made a good buy. The thing with entry level cameras is that you can buy them used with very "low mileage" for bargain. Moral of my post is-buy used ;)
@Coo Koo Fuji is great but the glass is almost on full frame price level.. i bought gimbal and a drone for extra money :)
@Coo Koo Sony A6400 in this case
I have to agree with your assessment. Currently, I am using the Sony a6400, with the a6100 as a backup, however, I have used the Fujifilm X-T3, which was a great camera. I'll be sure to share this video with friends who are wanting to begin shooting pictures, but, don't have a lot of cash to spend. One thing I truly hate about the Sony a6100 is the fact they didn't think having a level was important for entry-level photography. So, because of that I will not be recommending Sony, unless they give us a firmware update to take care of that. Thanks.
I already knew that Fuji would win this...
Does the xt200 over heat recording video in 1080p?
@@1voice1talk8 heard bout this too....does canon m50 have this overheat problem?
@@1voice1talk8 don't own one yet but it has a very short cap of 15mins on 4k recording... from my research that could possibly be due to overheating but as far as 1080p goes... I never really stumbled upon such a thing
Love the script and especially the comments about your location's wonderful visual aesthetic! But wait, the Fuji is WAY more expensive than the Canon at current prices and it doesn't even have any image stabilisation. I hate the term "entry-level" as any talented photographer could take stunning pictures with all three of these, but surely IBIS is a major requirement of many people whatever their level of skill. The a6100 is also much more expensive than the Canon. It is a good camera but it is resting its laurels almost entirely on the focusing, and it is also very expensive. I can think of about 20 "entry level" cameras at nearly half the price, including lenses, which will take just as good quality photos. Even the humble Canon M100 is capable of very high quality pictures because ALL of them have a decent APS-C sensor and most have reasonably sharp kit lenses. So you need to define what "entry-level" actually is.
Love Fuji, just wait until Black Friday to get the XT200
That's right!
Thank you for a super comprehensive video! I'm a musician looking for a camera for more as a supplement, and while some terms flew way over my head, you had really clear explanations and made it super easy for me to decide what to go with! Thank you!
Know not much bout cameras; was decided to buy the M50, and you came and made me doubt if I needed the X-T200 better. LOL. I will make more research. I just want to do toy photography, but who knows what I'll try to do next. Thank you a lot for having taken your time to help us people who don't know much bout cameras. A great video.
I keep waiting for dancing queen by abba to start playing when I here the piano roll. Thanks for the video very informative
Unbiased
Putting the Sony under the Canon m50, I cannot believe it.
Most important for me is : Picture Quality : Sony 1 vs Canon 0, Auto Focus: Sony 1 vs Canon 0, Video Quality: Sony 1 vs Canon 0.
I am here to use the camera but not to look at it and beginner photographer should learn it otherwise this is just a consumer that brand are targeting.
Overall great review...
Just placed my order today for X-T200 and this makes me happy, I made the right decision coming from 13 years of Canon! :)
I'm a canon lover and I've had the m50 and the a6000. I much prefer the controls and responsiveness of the sony
Which has the better low light?
8:43 haven't laughed like this in a while. You two are a nice combo. Funny guys but knowledgeable.
why?
What
This is a great comparison but it's worth noting that, at least here in Ireland, the Sony and Fuji are about €200-400 more than the Canon m50. So while these are entry-level cameras they're really in completely different price categories, that's why I went for the Canon.
should i buy canon in 2022?
@@someguy6345i buy in 2023
Loooove your review. Not only I learnt what I came here to learn but I also had fun. Instant fan! 🥳
This truly is my favorite comedy channel, the intros crack me up every time 😂 the photo/film content is good too!
Love how you introduced all categories. My favourite were letters popping out of Chris's bum and then lens category.
Ha ha ha!
I know that this review is subjective, but you should take into account that some people like how Sony looks, not everybody is about nostalgic designs (I don't want to attack Fuji- just there are different tastes).
this is what i want in 2021, comparison between a6100, m50 and xt200. love this video, thankyou
that concludes my survey and research to buy my 1st camera thanks guys..im a huge fan of your reviews
Hey I love your work guys. Can you all do a video on astro-photography?
thanks guys, i literally looking some comparison between of them
Hi to a fellow Albertan. Good review, you gave me something to think about as I was about to buy the A6100 but now I'm not so sure anymore! The Fuji sounds like a better bet for my wildlife photography with the lens availablility. Thanks for helping us newbies! :)
Man , I just ordered an fuji xt200 after watching your video . this video helped me a lot , thanks man
Why does everything have to be a competition and a "shoot-out"? How about presenting different cameras in the context of various custome use-cases and what would be best to meet specific _customer needs?_
ngl placing the cameras on a slope tensed me a little.
Please start adding developer support as part of your reviews. I bought the Sony system without realizing that their API is fairly unloved. Doing things like focus staking or Astro is far more challenging on this system than any other. If cameras were more open, it’ll allow people to make apps to add software to the hardware which is so important today.
I agree, we need more open cameras with scripting APIs that permit customizations like the hacked MagicLantern but safely and with manufacturer support.
Between those three, what do you think the most dev friendly?
Now I've already got my Fuji Xt200 in my hands & thanks to this video
Love from India Great Review
That Lenses. title was epic
About the lenses: Fuji even has dedicated Cinema lenses and incredibly capable broadcasting lenses (WAY out of a mortals price range but they do still exist).
Canon m50 is awesome! Was debating between this or the a6600 but the price on the a6600 is too much. Going to wait till it goes on sale.
$499 Canon M50 kit at Costco -- Adorama and B&H have kits too, now on sale!
Yes! Fujifilm X-T200 #1 !!!
This is what I was waiting for ... Thanks for making this video ... Appreciate your work.
@DPReview I'm confused by this comparison. In the a6400 vs Xt30 video (which is better than xt200) you said that a6400 had a better sensor. Here you're saying that the Xt200's sensor is better than a6100(which uses the exact same sensor as the a6400)????
Sure from a technical standpoint however the differences are minor and entry level photographers that these cameras are made for won't really notice or appreciate those nuances. What they will appreciate is more vivid colours, and fun colour modes.
X-T200 has faster readout speed for video and autofocus, more recent generation sensor apparently.
@@niccollsvideo And the extra noise is a feature on Fujis. ;)
This is such a helpful comparison. Thank you very much for the video. Love from Malaysia 😊
One big caveat regarding the Canon M50: It has only one control dial (around the shutter-release button). In mode M you had to press a button to switch between shutter speed and aperture adjust. There is no control dial on the back of the M50.
Andreas Niggemann yes a big difference. That's why I went with the M5. Need that second dial!
@@seantomlinson3320 I like my M50. Its my "Guerrilla Shooting" camera for over a year now. Since I usually shoot wide open, the single control dial is not a dealbreaker for me.
I can see that. Same justification as with the entry level dslrs that only have one dial too. What lenses do you have? My M5 is my tertiary camera so I only have the 15-45 and the wonderful tiny 22.
@@seantomlinson3320 22mm/2.0 and EF-40mm/2.8 via EF-EFM-adapter
Interesting, I found out about the Xt200 being better on Reddit... maybe the A6400 is a better buy? But I heard Sony ecosystem is expensive. So I guess it's between the M50 and the Fujifilm.
I thoroughly enjoyed the humor in this video
I’m quite surprised that you said nothing in this review about the noisy, subpar preamp in the Fuji XT200. I returned the camera after one day, because when using an external mic (Rode Video Micro), the noise floor was so high that the sound was unusable. It wrecked the video. That’s a dealbreaker.
It seems it's noisier than X-T3 or T4. Especially, when Jordan mentions audio quality.
I wish you guys would mention in your reviews how many fps these cameras can shoot in SLOW-MO (60, 120, 240) and in which of those the camera actually records it w/audio!
The camera used to film this video is so crisp!
Great job guys, this was fun and informative .
Great video but I was just curious why Nikon Z-50, Olympus em-10/Em-5 mk iii and Panasonic G95 were not included in this comparison.
The M50 with kit-lens is $560 whereas the other two are $900.
here m50 with kit and xt200 with kit are equal priced.
Just bought X-T 200! Thank you!
I have a6100 and I don't do anything with it. In my experience, the parameters and features of a camera are important and it is worth watching reviews and equipment tests, but the most important thing is how easy the camera will be to use. If you are not an experienced photographer and if you do not have much enthusiasm to learn how to use it (the Sony a6100 manual has 594 pages and that's not the only problem), then buy a Pentax camera (some), Canon or Panasonic - the best menu. Secondly, it's better to buy a used camera with gaskets than a new one without them - the coolest things to photograph are outdoors.
Do you recommend the CANON EOS M50 kit lens?
Or on another lens?
This was a really useful review of the entry level cameras. Thanks so much guys because for a beginner like myself, it just broke it down into key criteria that are relevant to me. Just one question, what is the Fujifilm like to hold compared to the Sony? The Sony always seems to look like the most compact model. Thanks again Guys.
Late to the game... Sony is slightly more compact, but as they reviewed, the menu system is confusing! This reviews is pretty much dead on to what my experience is with the two systems. I switched from Sony to Fuji
Wondering about the audio equipment used in this video. The audio is crisp even in the shot next to the water. Wow!
I'm amazed when people complain about the handling or ergonomics of Sony cameras. I have loved them for years, my hands just seem to fly over the controls and everything is where I need it to be.
Hand it to someone and ask them to set it up to shoot video in SLog... don't let them Google it...
Also AF entries that don't do anything due to something set in another, distant, menu, but give you no idea...
@@JonInLondon haha well, if you hand a random person a camera and say that, they'll be like "what the hell is SLog?"
@@Wabajak13 It's quite okay to choose someone who understands video, just not the Sony menus... :-)
Very very nice reviews guys. Something that I'm waiting for.
As a former M43 user: Y are there no M43 cameras? They are great for beginners to pros
Because this was an APS-C shootout.
But, yes, I would love to see GX10 vs OM-D E-M10 Mark III or something like that. Maybe OM-D E-M1 Mark III vs. GH6 whenever that comes out.
@@danieldougan269 oh. I overred that fact.
Would definitely have been interesting to see the EM-10 Mk III and G85 included in this mix. Even though they're not APS-C would definitely be cameras that beginners are looking at too.
Such an excellent, top tier comparison review.
Just bought xt200 today in India because of your review thanks keep reviewing ✌️
Hey! I am planning on buying one. How is the camera working so far?
@@shallynt.cherian839 very good and remember it looks entery level but works better then many and if u change kit lens then outcome is superb
Thanks for the video. I am using a canon 2000d ,i got that for christmas,but i am looking for an upgrade,i was thinking m50 for a while ..but i was open for more options, i really like the fujis look..thanks for the informations, fun and usefully video .
I'll be getting an a6100 as soon as I can, for video. For me it's perfect. I have had a camera where the screen flips to the side and didn't like it and the flip up screen is what I always wished my a6000 had. I've never understood why so many people wet their pants over the Sony menus. I don't care for the Sony 6000 series for a carry around stills camera, but or putting it on a tripod and shooting video, it's perfect for me.
Really like the video! Was wondering if the higher end cameras in each system could be briefly touched on for viewers intending to upgrade in the future?
Enjoyed the video. Please do more such videos comparing more categories of camera.
Hopefully we can see each one improve with feedback like this. Good comparison review 👍
Hi, can someone please tell if the XT200 pre amps have improved since the XT100? I bought the XT100 six months ago and can't use it for video at all because the pre amp hiss is totally unusable. Here I am trying to find a replacement already. The XT200 won for video but I'm really worried about spending 750 on a camera which could have the same problem. Maybe Sony will be safer with the AF and silent pre amps?
Can we get an updated version of this video for 2021? I'm looking for a beginner camera and found these videos incredibly useful. I tried to get the Fujifilm X-T200 but ultimately had my order cancelled since none was in stock.
X-S10
Thanks guy for the shoot out. I really like the comedy with the titles. I like that you are infusing your personalities into your videos.
Can't decide which system to buy into.
I live in Calgary, so seeing your filming location made me freak out for a sec lol. And this is the first video I watched of you, think you guys are very funny! Made the video very entertaining and educational at the same time!
Thanks fellas! I am buying the Fuji tomorrow!
Nice Chumbawumba reference guys :) Disagree about the lenses though; I'd say the Canon should be in resounding last place on that one. Notwithstanding the elephant in the room (where's the EF-M > RF upgrade path?), Sony actually make more APS-C lenses than Canon does, and in addition you can use all the full frame FE ones without an adapter and make full use of them. When you add the third party lenses the choice is even more stark. If you want to put decent glass on the Canon, what are your native options? You don't really have any with EF-M. With Sony E you have the excellent Zeiss Touit series, plus any full frame lenses, all without using any adapters.
It's fun to hear you say that Fuji lenses are cheap but in my country they are brutally expensive : (
Check the prices at Adorama, and B&H in the USA. Places like Australia seem to have to pay more for everything. :(
Thanks for this great video. It help me a lot🙏😎 Cause been focusing a lot on canon m50, 200d adn A6100. But never thought about Fuji film x-t200..
I was almost decided on the Canon M50. I joined Facebook groups dedicated to the M50, Fujifilm X , and Sony 6000 series. Many of the users share photos constantly. I almost immediately started noticing the Fiji and Sony photos seem much sharper than the M50. Is there really that much difference in the image quality of these three?? Or is there a chance the M50 attracts a more novice group ??? In all the TH-cam videos I have watched the image quality of the M50 seems highly rated.
If you edit raw files the a6100 is the way to go.
Watched for the review, liked for the antics.
I am still disappointed that the X-T200 lacks the tilting/flip out screen the X-T100 has, but it is still a solid step up from its predecessor
what?!!!!!!! it has tilting screen
@@elyasalsaygh a tilting screen that you can take a selfie with that isnt how Sony is doing it
@@scott2100 Thank god. Those side flip out screens get in the way, are fussy to use, and are easy to break. Tilt screens... tilt. That's it. One motion and you're ready to shoot.
Excellent comparison, you guys are doing great work these days. Did you consider adding the Nikon z50 to the mix?
Art Altman Too expensive. It’s in the previous comparison that is a step up.
Was at BestBuy and played with all of them. Chose Fujifilm X-T200.
It doesn't matter how good the handling is nor the colors (when you're shooting in raw anyway) and the evf if the photos are out of focus so I think there's a clear winner here.
Will you guys also do a best high-end ASP-C mirrorless cameras? That will be great!
