- Sony A7c vs Fuji XT4. What's the better camera for video? Who has better stabilization and autofocus? Has Sony caught up in colour science? Dynamic range of full frame vs aps-c? We'll do an in studio test with the Zeiss 55mm f1.8 vs the Viltrox 33mm f1.4. Then a vlogging battle in the streets with the 20mm f1.8 vs the 16mm f1.4. Who has the Toneh? What about slow mo?!

I can actually believe Panasonic loser 4/3rds making a refrigerator. Because they sell those here, and air-conditioning units, washing machines..
What tripod do you use for vlogging? I don’t have one but would like to try it out with my R5
Try the Fuji 8-16 Toneh 2.8!
How do i buy your luts
You should NEVER delete the files from your computer, always format in the camera man
I’m a Sony user, but jeez, I’m impressed by the Fuji colors, looks so natural but at the same time so cinematic. Kudos to Fuji!
fuji is not cinematic at all.i would say photographic chrushed blacks and ill skin tones..if you want cinematic go with blackmagic..a7c with tamron 28-75 can be beat by fuji in IQ.it's a FF camera
@@Baroque-Handel I’m a Sony A6400 user but Fuji has an amazing dynamic range, better colours and a higher video quality at 10 Bit 400mbps plus 4K 60fps and a DCI option.... I mean...
@@katseazzz And almost all film cameras shot on super35mm, so is ff really what makes it cinematic? That is a 1.4-1.6 crop factor.
You're THAT GUY every person should have as a neighbor.
I hope the powers that be keep sending this dude cameras. I have never seen anyone enjoy something so much and it so oddly compelling.
Gotta give it to the Fuji.
Cuckoo should I get the Minilogue XD?
GIV’ER!
...the Fooooge
Will keep that shaving mirror in focus though ;)
A7C won sadly
The Fuji X-T4 was better, overall.
Fuji looks really really good. The Sony at 8 bit would be totally fine, especially for vloggers if the stabilization was better. Im totally down for lighter 8 bit files with a full frame. If it had super stability it'd be a killer for sure. Fuji looks very cinematic tho, like you could probably shoot a short film, commercial or documentary with it.
Honestly, this was one of your best videos! The comparisons were super well done (in our hobo ways). The first half of the video I was STUNNED at how well the Fuji looked. However as the video went on, I began to like the Sony look better. Also I was simply blown away by the auto exposure on both cameras. Both handled the sun / backlit scenarios like some kinda ultimate transformer. As I mainly review Sony APS-C stuff on my channel, the A7C is such a frustrating camera. Like, I want it, but also hate that they didn't make the LCD or viewfinder better, no bump in megapixels, and it's too high priced for what it is imo. Also looks like you forgot the affiliate link for the Fuji! slap that in the description. Great job on the video!
I always wonder when reviewing the video capabilities what do we need a good evf for? The LCD also just drains battery if it is too fancy. I think sony just stripped this camera down for video usage. Price point is ok considering they still have the best af system. Sure it could be cheaper and I also would take one free... but objectically what is the competition in that price range? I mean Fuji xt4 isn''t even full frame and there is also Panasonic if you don't need AF.
Even Nikons AF is better than Fuji, Nikons full frame line only lacks a flip screen. If they do a Z6 Mk 2 with a flipscreen it will be a beast of a vlog camera.
I could care less for the cameras, it's the review that's gold here. I will now refer to my fuji as the fooj
Haha, can't believe iPhonedo just did an impersonation of you.. what a shout out.. the two best TH-camrs on the circuit.. keep up the amazing work :-)
It's so cool to see you with these cool cameras now compared to the early years
I even don't care about the topic now :) I just like your personality and sense of humor
Dude, you’re crazy. I never know when you’re being serious or sarcastic. Still watching though. Entertainment factor through the roof. If you had a stand up set I’d buy a ticket 👍👍
I paused the video @ 1:00 mark to comment this.
I got it right instantly the moment I saw the skin tone! It was Fuji’s beautiful skin tone that gave it right away! You know what? Coloring is very hard to do that’s why Sony doesn’t have the so called “Sony Colors”. In fact, the man behind Fuji’s colors, Mr. Minami-San, is still with Fuji for more than 50 years! From film, perfecting the colors, he transitioned it perfectly to the Fuji mirrorless cameras! So it’s not just colors per se, it’s how you tone the skin as well. And in Fuji’s case, the skin tones are perfect for whatever skin color!
Thank you.for your comment... As I watched I did think the Fuji has a 'film' look...
Foto4Max LOL. Whatever floats your boat man. Good luck with your “Sony Color”. If there’s ever such a word.
I actually learned something from a comment-thank you
HammerBann No not at all. I don’t care what people think. Fuji looks like a 90s grunge video? That’s good luck with the sony color.
Fuji looks a little warmer/yellower. But Sony looks more neutral.
Regardless, colour is subjective, and anyone doing video seriously would grade it. So doesn't matter what it looks like, but the ease of grading that matters.
15:16 look at that magenta on the shirt with the Sony, while the Fuji has no such issues at double the framerate.
Your content is as addictive as some things that shall not be spoken of
I love IT !!!
Much love from Staffordshire, UK
‘The hobotographer is upon us my friend’
From colors it was hard to guess in the beginning but the autofocus made it easy for sony
The background blur was also helpful
He's using a $300 viltrox lens on the fuji. Check your donkey brain before you comment.
PJ it was just an opinion relax. Viltrox lenses are better than Fuji lenses
@@simonsalfred8354 wasn't even an opinion it was a fact. Idk why he's mad lmao
@@simonsalfred8354 well now you're just talking nonsense.
Man, I finally understand why they keep saying Fuji looks filmic. In the beginning I though the a7c looked better, but it does look digital. The XT4 just looks like what I would see in a movie. It just has it. Now I’m gonna buy one lol
The Sony a7c gives you teenage girl skin, so the new Sony color science isn't that bad. It's more reddish, but the new color science looks especially good on Asian people. At least what i've seen from some Japanese TH-camr that I watch regularly.
The Fuji though looks cinematic af. It has that dirty street look that might not be flattering for the people filmed, but it's lovely for the viewer.
LOL. The skin of a teenage girl. That's funny as fuck. However, that can mean a lot of things. I mean, there's soft and clear, and then there's Clearasil...
I kept thinking the Sony had to have some kind of skin softening setting in use. Is that possible? I know the ZV-1 has this.
@@CarsCamerasKavorka Maybe but I don’t see sony or any camera manufacturer putting skin softening in their pro (or close to pro level in the case of the a7c) camera cuz people who buy these camera would probably do it in post anyway and the zv1 was specifically targeted at creator that don’t have time to mess around with their footage so that is why they have it in there but there is a possibility that they have it in there because this is not a pro camera it’s a compact camera but I don’t see them putting it in there
@@techtutorial9050 Right. Seems unlikely, but Sony does some weird stuff sometimes.
The autofocus mating dance at 5:05 deserves a David Attenborough monologue and an Emmy.
That 30% crop made it look like the camera was floating in front of you while running. Niiiice.
FUUUUJJIIII!!!!! The Colors is not only an Advantage, It's the selling Point for me. Great Video!
Fuji nailed it with the X-T4, and will nail it further with the upcoming X-H2
Inside the Sony was pretty good but outside Fuji looked so much better. I don't know what it is but the highlights are so pleasing - also the colors. I clearly prefer the Fuji - but there is Catalyst Browse which keeps me thinking...
"Can you bow online?" 😂😂😂
I wanna bow you for being the most honest youtuber ever. 👏
The Fuji lost you in the first minute and immediately let me know which one was which lol.
That too is.. a feature, it kinda blinks, so you know who's who😜
Knew where Fuji is from the first moment. Better skin color.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This episode, is right up there....one of your best. Very funny, and informative.
That intro. LOL, that's why I love this channel. Effortless fun
The 16mm 1.4 is a banger! Close AF AF!
A tempting lens to buy😆! Well I can afford it I am old.
610 subs Good!
@@larslindstrom1245 Get it! :)
How do you calculate the aperture (how did that f/1.4 became f/2 )
@@Karthik-The-Photographer 1.4 x 1.5 = 2.1. Approximate to 2. Which is pretty similar to 1.8
Bro, I don’t even deal with any of this stuff but you are entertaining as hell. Great videos!
I know within 10 second from the AF performance. Sony never let you down. Never!
Only cripple their cameras to make money on the a7siii
I noticed in the first 5 seconds because of the color science
@@voltvisuals they have to do that to be in business
i took your advice and went with the Fuji. Couldn't be more happier. thx man! :D love the channel.
I've never seen a single video of yours and only happened to chance on this one just looking for a comparison between these two products, but you are more entertaining than the game streamers I watch. Subbed and liked.
Ahhhh! Fuji looks great! I just don't see much happening in the way of lenses, whereas Sony E mount has lots of goodies to play with! Buying lenses on the E mount and upgrading the body over time makes more sense than doing the same on X mount. 10 bit color is really the only practical advantage Fuji has. Sure 240fps is fun, but unnecessary. Sony has AF, full frame, lenses, user-base. I'm still targeting the A7c and those tiny, mighty Samyang 1.8s.
The Fujifilm X-S10, to be announced October 15, can check out leaked photos and specs at fujirumors.com
Yeah, one of my favorite parts of owning an a7c are the Sony full frame e mount lenses.
As always your vids are the most hilarious and informative of all the tech reviewers in Canada or the US.
Who is the most hilarious and informative in other countries
The Fuji colour was significantly more pleasing, and the camera has 10-bit, 4K60 and slow-motion up to 240. The Sony offers Full Frame, far more lens choices, better dynamic range, superior AF, and the wire-free Digital Mic for the hot-shoe. Sony's Magenta bias, particularly in the shadows, let it down, but it would be interesting to know what choices you made grading the SLOG2 originals, and whether someone like Gerald Undone could have matched the Sony more closely to the Fuji? I was impressed with the stabilisation on the Fuji paired with that 16mm 1.4.
Not sure why people still use S-log2 with Sony. Log profiles are too fragile on 8 bit codecs. The smallest mistake you make in exposure or grading and the whole video is ruined.
Also, do you still lose autofocus in S-log? I know that the A7iii you lose phase detect in S-log iirc.
I tried shooting in log, but the workflow is too complicated for only publishing on social media. Graded a clip for 4 hours and there's always patches of broken colour no matter wat I did. Ended up shooting with no picture profile these days. Maybe one day when I'm doing real film work with 12 bit or 14 bit raw, I'll try log profiles.
@@professionalpotato4764 I have to agree with you. I'm comfortable in color grading and enjoy the process.. Sony's just fall apart, hate the magenta shadows and blocks. Only when I shoot with an Atomos Shinobi with my LUTs and manual focus would I consider log on 8bit Sony so I know how it will look after so no risk of exposure / WB errors.
Agree, Neutral profile or Standard slightly desaturated and less contrast turns out wayyy better. Maybe Cine. Once you start seeing the fine color details it really makes you want real cine cameras haha.
If you actually care about the quality of your footage and can be assed learning how to correct and grade properly then you have nothing to worry about. 8 bit slog2 is fine just remember to use ITU709 Matrix (watch Calebs video on why). I use A7iii slog2 itu709 for all my professional work (weddings, corporate, realestate etc) and have no problems doing heavy grading in Resolve and using color space transforms. You need to think proactivly with your footage and not pull stupid skin keys that fall apart instantly. Always WB with a grey card, shoot 1-1.7 stops over and use the HDR wheels, primaries, and hue curves in Resolve to make natural changes which aren't destructive. Even if you shoot on an Arri you can still make it fall apart with poor grading skills.
Unfortunately Sony's magenta shadows are a problem still on the a7siii, but even with basic ass skills you can correct that easily. Sony's actual cinema line gives you what slog 3 should look like (fx9, venice, fs7 etc).
Oh the clarity of the Sony
The secret camera is definitely the X-S10! I’m adding to cart first thing on announce on Thursday, hope to see your first impressions on it too
Is there much of a comparison with the the XT4 and XS10? Other than the battery life?
@@sharedhomies XS10 owner here. The only real difference between it and the XT4 in terms of real world experience is 0.5 stops of IBIS less than XT4 and a smaller less powerful battery. Other than that, it's the same internals, sensor, AF system etc. Oh and the XS 10 only has one SD slot. The grip on the XS10 is much better than the XT4 in a overall smaller more intuitive package in my opinion. Also an owner of the GFX50s since launch ;)
@@destinationbushcraft1833 xs-20 just came out how does it stack up against a7c or xt4/xt5
“You should be doing it in your videos, and if your not that’s why you suck” lol Couldn’t have said it any better. You make the best reviews on TH-cam, straight to the point about the things that actually matter to the shoppers (the camera’s character) instead of just reading the specs sheet. I appreciate your videos 🤙🏾
Great video indeed he is a talented guy ! :)
Great video! To me the fuji looks sharper, better skintones (unless you want to do a Attack of the killer tomato's sequel) And it looks like it handles difficult lighting conditions better. The Sony might have a small edge for slightly better autofocus. So for people like me who don't like to colorgrade to much, the fuji is a clear winner.
Fuji by a million. But for real though that 16 1.4 is magic.
"She ain't gonna invite you to dinner with that lens!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fuji image appears about 10% more pleasing to me indoors and 30% better outdoors. Fuji looks more cinematic, better color, smoother motion and less digital looking. Fuji has very good autofocus but Sony is a notch above. The deal breaker for me is the cost of sony lenses are double the price of the Fujis. I'm sticking with my Fuji.
You can fix colors but you can't fix a blurry video. - WW
Did you just quote/reference yourself with that sig
@@muszeuhs lol I think it’s a signature
I prefer Fuji colors
Came for camera/lens comparisons, stayed for the entertainment (I laughed more than I should've in this video. It's awesome!)
Is it me or does the Sony apply a consistent mild sunburn to the skin in all situations and exposures?
From scene to scene, i think the Fuji colors are just more pleasing to my eyes.
Not only was the live comparison here EXACTLY what I wanted, it was funny and goofy and informative-in-a-mildly-conspiratorial-way. I don't even know if the rest of your stuff is any good, I'm subscribing because it was - dare I say it: entertaining.
...I guess I dare.
Most awesome compare video ever!! Loved how you did the side by side intro !!
Sony has their patented magenta blocks scattered across your black sweatshirt and backpack. You can't get that with the Fuj
It seems weird. From 17:05, XT4 has some magenta on this backpack (shoulder strap).
Fuji looks so much better.
in some scene, Xt4 color make sky turn to teal which green+blue combine, his face is greener, so xt4 color greener than real life. That green counter magenta. But some scence is reveal lol. xt4 color better overall. But it depend on how he set WB. and easy fix in davinci
@Gap I don’t think he corrected the colors from his video showing the process of editing his video he just raised the contrast and crushed the shadow a little bit
Lol ahahahah
Incredibly useful and original video! Thanks CC!
I’m here for the humor. Your autofocus battle was a scream.
I absolutely love my XT4. Great all around camera. Although i use it 90% for video.
This is the best channel on youtube.
The Fuji gave itself away with the slow autofocus in the first 10 seconds.
The Fuji gave itself away with the better colors in the first second.
With the Viltrox?
This video was both very entertaining and informative. I applaud you for that.
I bow to you online sir! 🙇🏻♂️
Great content! Hilarious as usual!
Damn, I just came in from your other vid comparing a7iii vs xt4 and I didn't like the xt4 picture there but here? I love it... You got me interested in fuji... I'm looking for an aps-c... currently a6300 but the slow motion quality on that thing is just bad... I have to dig in more into the xt4...
btw. did the autofocus got better with updates?
Man, it's a great video! Enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks!
The 16/1.4 is too good for TH-cam. Somebody needs to develop an entirely new social media platform from the ground up that can handle the Glory Machine.
That A7C is mega sharp.
Love that Fuji XT4 with the 16m 1.4
Thanks for the comparison. I was looking at the A7C since it’s compact and FF, but the first minute reminded me why I switched from a compact Sony alpha to my XT4.
Also Fuji supports they camera for a LONG time ! Still firmware update on my XT1/XT2 !
Woah I actually like the sony better
It was the lady walking behind you for me.. lol her face was great.
your slowmo test video is the best on earth.
I dont even care to buy a camera now. But this video is just so entertaining - about to grab popcorn and continue. lol
That 16mm is just magic
Pro tip for viewers. During the comparison shots you can go cross-eyed to see him in 3D. I’m crying now but still worth it.
FUJI‼️🙌🏾 Just looks right. The stabe was glorious. That 16mm 1.4 is THE ONE☀️🌈
Bruh ... seriously the most entertaining comparison video ROTFL 😂
Both seem like nice cameras, just with different strengths and weaknesses. If they could make one at this price range, with the best of both of these... that would be killer. Fuji colors, cool styling, better IBIS, with Sony's better auto-focus, post-process stabilization, lenses, and no recording limit!
Fuji seems sharper like a katana ripping through neck flesh....however the autofocus in the Sony is like a deadly ninja blow gun..the sony Ibis looks like a jittery townsman as meets his end with the local samurai
Oooooh, Kasey got the X-S10! Looking forward to the review.
POV from a first time viewer: When this video first started, I thought "this video's gonna be a little weird". I wasn't wrong, but it's still a great video. Thanks for the great entertaining review and commentary.
This comparison vid was funny as hell. Loved it!
I knew the right is a7c because of autofocus glitch of xt-4 within 5 seconds.
Yea, buy the crippled and overpriced A7c and be happy. Try the 23 1.4 if you insist to use non Fujinon lenses. Kudos to 7SIII a monster. Know your camera and overcome problems.
@@larslindstrom1245 Yeah, but buying into Fuji means you pay GM pricing for a smaller format lens. Not a very smart choice imo.
@@professionalpotato4764 "Full frame" huh? Big boys go for medium format.
It’s the Tamron
@@fedearbelaez4912 If it suits your needs why not? All formats have their strengths and weaknesses. I would like to try one, but I'm already annoyed by ff sizes and weight. I'll pass. Waiting for the day Fuji opens their bloody X-mount. I will never pay full frame price for APS-C lenses.
The 16mm f1.4 performed really well! So cute f2f meeting at 14:00 !!! :D
Overall I don't like the a7c, but fuji looked much softer in terms of sharpness. Are the Sony lenses just more superior or is this the full frame magic? In all other categories (except of AF) Fuji is a winner!
lol, you are the most entertaining guy in camera review land. love it..
Awesome comparison and love your presentation style!! very unique.
The sony's colors break apart into pink blotches all over your jacket when you are outside.
the image out of the A7C is horrible.
Looks good when on a tripod but when it's moving 🤢
16mm 1.4 performed very well
You need to get Camera Canada to hook you up with a Fuji GFX 100, not only will you get full frame destroying toneh, but you'll hit your one armed pull up goal 10x faster.
As a Sony shooter, I prefer the Fuji/Viltrox combo in this video. What have I done!?
Colors = not seeing a major difference, both are good, personally I prefer Sony colors here, but Fuji has 10bit so you can do more.
IBIS = Fuji wins
AF = big win for Sony, smoother transitions and always works.
Catalyst = 5% crop looks good enough, if you go to 30% it's not a gimbal anymore but a drone :D
I would have preferred to see AF with native lenses. Putting a cheap 3rd party lens on the Fuji isn’t equal to a Zeiss lens on a Sony.
ISO is arbitrary from brand to brand. No point in trying to match them.
True enough.
"ISO is arbitrary from brand to brand." -- With Fuji being more arbitrary than others.
AFter going down the rabbit hole numerous times, searching for a camera, the bottom line is this.
These cameras are WAY MORE than what 99% of the people who buy them will use them for. For many, its just another toy that will go mostly unused. Kudos to the pros for giving valuable feedback. I have learned more than I thought possible from watching TH-cam videos....wait, could that be an idea for a channel?..stay tuned, fools.
Best camera comparison
The warping on the xt-4, especially towards the end when you talk about the sd card slots, is making me think twice..... it almost look like the very piss-poor android image stabalization from their old galaxy phones
Two good images. The greater Toneh at the same aperture always gives away the full frame, though.
Colours look better on the Fuji but everything else looks better on the SONY. Honestly though colours weigh heavier than a lot of other aspects but your beard and hair looks much better on the SONY
your skin looks 100x better on the A7c
I like fuji colors more, sensor size are overrated.
Your video is so informational yet entertaining. Thank you.
This is a very helpful review! Thank you!
