If you have a question or want to chat, use the Instagram or Twitter links above, thanks!
Been sitting on this vid for 2 weeks and after a ton more shooting with the A7Cii I’m even more convinced now
Where’s the link to that guy?
is the "guy" you referenced veresdenialex??
@@muziqfreek thanks for the reminder, added!
Keep them coming. im loading up on a7c videos
@@remarkable-media amazing film simulation
I come from Fuji and Leica and switched to the A7cii. What i love is in combination with the compact G Lenses. You have full control because one dial is ISO, 2nd is aperture and F Control at the lens itself. But you have also the video abilities, create recipes inside the cam and you have the best autofocus if you tired shooting manual.
Hey how are the recipes compared to Fuji? Are sooc generally OK with colors and skin tones?
One difference is that, if i'm not mistaken, on fuji you can use the raw and generate multiple versions of the same picture by applying various settings and picture profiles, while in Sony it is baked in when you shoot it. If sony can improve this so you can generate multiple versions from raw ... that would be awesome :)
This video speaks to me! I also have a A7C II but I am a fan of Fuji images but I just can't bring myself to switch systems just to get those looks (budget, button muscle memory, video needs, etc.). Thank you so much.
I was just thinking about this 2 cameras and to get, thank you! Your video helped me a lot
glad to hear!
What about a6700?
Size-wise.. maybe its closer to x100v
Also isnt the x100v a crop sensor camera with a 23mm lens? So 35mm equivalent?
And almost half the price from a7cii..
A very good option, with best AF and stellar video capabilities
Lumix needs to make a camera like this. With their option to use LUTs for stills it would be the perfect fullframe x100v paired with the sigma f2 primes.
The have the GX lineup...Which i had a GX9 before i got my A7c. but i agree if the made an updated version with the new g9ii sensor, thatd be awesome!
The s5ii and s5iix have real time limits that works amazing.
I take mine out so much more than I ever did with my a7iv. They’ve really created a sweet spot with this camera.
This is actually a God send, I was just looking at buying a xt 30 I for a personal camera. I have an extra a7iii laying around that I wanted to sell to buy it but these picture profiles may have just saved me like $1000. Thanks for the info man!
Glad I could help!
Does it also save the jpeg and the raw in parallel so you have both ?
The best camera for all tasks! You can use it to take HB walks, as well as take cool photos in the studio!!! High! Thanks for the video.
Great job on the video Chris! Thanks for making it.
Glad you liked it!
Ha! This was so spot on. I just sold my beloved X100V (for $400 over what i paid) to get the A7CR w/ 24mm f2.8. Absolutely floored that I can crop to an 85mm equivalent and still retain acceptable quality. Will miss the integrated flash/nd filter and leaf shutter but the extraordinary video quality and 7stop IBIS more than makeup for it. I even prefer the handling and streamline button layout over the A74.
Great to hear
Man same here. Sold mine recently for more than I bought it. Used it to buy an 24-70mm GM ii. I still have an X-T5 which I think is a great alternative and I use as a mini A7RV for days I don’t use my A7RV
I just hope the prices of the a7cii drop the way the original a7c did. The original is a solid deal right now but I can't get it without the front dial
Sometimes I just walk around with a Sony APSC and Sigma prime lens. Works for me around town.
There ya go!
lol love the Good Luck link for X100V in the description 😂
haha
Which sim did you use for the girl on the swing 3:56? Love the colors. Thanks
love this thumbnail idea
I miss you
I wanted a Q3 but... I prefer 50mm ( to 35mm and 28mm) so I bought the 50mm 2.5 G and the A7CR, really do love the latitude to crop , don't love the viewfinder, am neutral on the screen now - 48 hours in was going to give it back but 6 weeks later -- I think it's the right choice for me - and I like that extra grip attachment- in case I want to use a bigger zoom. Thanks for the film sim link - looks righteous. Keep up the good work.
I’m sorry but nothing comes close to the Fuji jpegs. If you can’t find a x100v the xe4 is another fantastic alternative. I have a zve1 for video and light photo and my x100v as my main photo camera.
I might pick this up now.
Try renting if you’re still not sure
The ability to use picture profiles as still “film” presets on Sony bodies is highly underrated. If Sony expanded those capabilities it could be a game changer vs Fuji.
Yeh its def a fun feature to take advantage of
How many profiles can you store though? Next year I’m either getting an Xh2 or Sony A7C2
@@gregorybeale I use the a6400. 3 stored in camera, the other 4 on SD card. Kinda suck when formatting card
Because of the increase of the X100v I sold mine and bought a 24-70 GM ii. As a side note, I do have an X-T5 which with a compact lens i.e. fuji 18mm F2 is about the same size as the X100v. I think that camera is a better buy compared to the X100v.
I personally think Sony's X100V is the Sony RX1R II but it is quite expensive on B&H. It has a Full Frame 42MP Sensor and a Zeiss 35mm Lens specifically designed to fit that body. I would definitely buy that if I could afford it lol. Hope they release a third version
Would love a new version of the camera!!
Interesting video! Where can we find the link to the Sony Picture Profile Guide?
link in description
Slow shutter and f2.8. How many were actually in focus?
We can do this on lumix with the real time LUT feature. But the Sony film simulation guy REALLY knows his stuff. When I was running a ZVE10 I tried out his custom profiles and it was like magic.
They are really impressive
i was thinking the same.
Most people are laughing, but in my case I really pay attention on the design of the camera.
Same
Chris, what are your go-to Sony film simulations? I just paid for the PDF/website, and it’s great. Just seeing which ones you like.
Same!
I have been using the simulation. Really like the Kodak Gold, Portra 400, Portra 800 and Ektar. Can TH-cam some film stocks for better understanding
@@jamestan7544curious how do you handle WB?
Kodak gold is my go to! Make sure you hit that white balance setting exactly as he mentions it makes a massive difference
@@jacoblewis I just followed the template 😂
From owning both, the original a7c is a better x100v in almost every way other than all the fun film simulations that rhe x100v has. Ok and the evf on rhe a7c is shite compared to the x100v but I rarely used either to be fair. But other than that the are a better comparison. Versus the a7cii I can only imagine is a WAY better camera than the x100v. A better comparison is actually any of the a6000 series. Same size sensor etc. Like the 6400 probably. The newest 6700 can beat the heck out of the x100v. Similar sizes even.
Wholeheartedly agree!
Honestly, those Sony jpegs are no comparison to the Fuji ones. And this is from a Sony user.
In the process of selling my x100v to get an a7cii
Nice! What made you want to do it?
@@chrisbrockhurst x100v is just too slow. And you can get the look in post. I thought I could shoot Jpeg but I can’t. I need to get into Lightroom and edit for the dynamic range. So if I’m gonna do that might as well have a modern camera and if it can be almost as small even better.
Here in Taiwan, you can buy grey market a7cII cameras for a couple hundred dollars more than the new Fuji X100 VI. Leaning towards the Sony after watching this. Thank you Chris
Thanks for sharing
I am debating whether I get the a7cii or the fuji xs20. I currently own the sony zv-1 and I bought the simulations a few weeks ago. The sims are amazing on the zv-1.
A7CII
Any even better comparison is the a6700 and the x100v. Similar price, same size aps-c sensor, similar weight. Create custom profiles in your a6700 and expand your lens collection as you see fit. Now you can forget about the overhyped x100v forever.
Chris, great information as always. I'm in a fix...Not sure if I should sell my A7s3 for the a7c2 or a7cr...Both compact cameras would work well for what I do: vlogging and travel/street photos. What would you do?
Hmmm well you’re selling a video centric pro body for a prosumer hybrid, that’s a tough call. If anything I’d go A7RV
@@chrisbrockhurst thanks!
Most people watching this have never dry fired an x100v. People dont talk about the leaf shutter, nor the internal ND filter.
Great features but they weren’t big things for me, everyone has their own perspective, this is just mine
A7C way too heavy and bulky. An A6XXX with small prime if a better option if you want a Fuji equivalent.
Heavy def not. Bulky yeh compared to Fuji
I used to shoot with a Fuji XT4 and an X100F, I changed to Sony and the XT4 and lenses all went, the X100F however will never be sold, so much fun to use. I wish I could put the Sony internals in a Fuji body, Sony cameras are great but so dull to use.
Do the Fuji film simulations also apply to RAW, or just to JPG? I would love to have a film simulated RAW end product that I can then still edit in post.
Can take with raw but might need a bit to edit. Might as well get his Lightroom presets bro
What Veres Deni Alex film simulations are you using?!
Kodak Gold is one of my favs
He is good. Bought it last month. My fav too
Have I understood this correctly; that one can apply settings in picture profile that mimics film simulations - and that I can SOOC jpegs that look good? And no need for Lightroom (or other software)?
@@bennieferinga9609 Correct! You purchase them and can apply the settings he recommends to a picture profile (Ex. PP1) and set the camera to take JPEG only or JPEG + RAW to get film-like images straight out of the camera. I sold my X100V and now only have my Sony bodies!
@@jackpatmoreinc Thanks for your reply! That sounds great. The jpegs can often be a bit boring. And editing raws takes time. Will seriously be thinking about this. Will look into it some more. Thanks again.
I had the a7c, bought the x100v and completly moved to fuji. I want a camera with great jpgs sooc. No time for editing. Thanks for your video 😊
Same bro, same. Bought the XE4 and 27mm pancake lens, compact, just want to take some snapshots with great fuji colors and be happy about it. Doesn't need to be the sharpest as I'm using film simulations anyways
The problem with Picture Profile recopies is that they are not even close to the capabilities in the Fuji. What you can do with the Sony is to make your own simulations by shooting SLOG3+LUT. And that is a much better option than the Fuji option. I have to get myself a A7cII to test it, but for example on my A7rIII and A7IV I shoot SLOG3 and than I use my own LUTs to get one click film simulation. The A7cII must be capable of showing you in the camera how the LUT changes the image, I have to use my phone with Minotor+ app.
This is why the Panasonic S5II is right now the coolest camera ever - it has it all including a very capable LUT support for stills and video. I think that this is the future but Sony may never do that in their cameras. Their implementation of LUTs in their latest cameras is so stupid... it is like they had to add this option but they do not want us to use it.
S5ii is amazing, especially for the price right now
Completely missing the point here bud...the idea is to have solid looking JPEGs straight out of camera, lol.
@@richardnayfilms2812 LUTs are like fuji sims but more advanced and customizable. They were designed for SOOC video, but work for SOOC jpegs as well.
@@richardnayfilms2812 exactly my point, there is an option to apply the LUT in the camera :) I do not have personal experience with it and how it is implemented but on paper it can do it. Plus in your phone you can apply LUT with an app over the LOG image and chose which look is better. We just need more development in this direction.
Are people really buying this $2,000 camera to use as a point and shoot in auto?? I love small cameras and point and shoots and there’s no reason anyone’s should cost 2 grand
Some are buying $6K Leica Q3’s for Point-n-shoot as well… to each their own. :)
Just bought this for family moments as well. The price is steep for sure, but the AF is blazing fast and you simply cant miss any moments with it. Worth it in my book
Hi Chris, out of interest, which film simulation did you use for the New York pics out of that set you purchased?
Kodak gold! Make sure you set the white balance as stated, that makes a huge difference
Cheers mate!
My friend always show me how much fuji color he love so badly ,Finally I can get some fuji color on my a7cR can't wait to show him😂 no need to buy fuji system anymore
What are your favorite profiles for veresdenialex's pdf?
The single card slot is a deal breaker for me! I need a camera for client work, but absolutely cannot justify owning two cameras meant for stills, especially when they're so similar (I already own an a7iv). I can live with a micro HDMI port, but not having redundancies for even stills photography is way too scary. At least you can simultaneously record video to a single SD card and an external recorder, but for photography it's a killer.
Yeh if you need it for pro work don’t get this. 1 card slot is no bueno
Honestly, I never ever had a card failure. I am using a dual slot camera but most of the time, I only use one. Did people load two films in their camera at the same time back in the day?
@@JeanV1986 Back in the day is irrelevant, we live in the present and the present professional climate dictates that you need redundant media for client work. I'm sure trusting a single card is great until you have that one failure on a $5k event job. I'd rather not play the waiting game personally.
@@SuLu_B This is true. But then again, I never shot a 5k even either. The A7C is not that kind of camera anyway, it is too small to feel comfortable with big lenses, and the EVF is...let's say, basic in comparison to bigger cameras. So that's not typically the camera you would want to shoot on a pro event. But I agree a second card slot would have been nice, albeit a micro SD one like Nikon did recently.
@@JeanV1986 Yeah, ANY kind of second media card would have been amazing. I would take dual micro slots if that's all they could/would give me in a compact body. I hear what you're saying and I know that shooting professional gigs isn't exactly what this camera was designed for, but my original point is that it's *so* close to being the perfect compact hybrid camera that even a professional can use, minus that one killer feature. I can live with not the best EVF, the one on the a7iv I own is already not the greatest but it's good enough. I'm willing to make compromises on kit even for professional gigs but certain things are deal breakers.
What lens do you pair with it?
Looks like’s got Sony’s smallest lens the 35mm F2.8 Zeiss
which strap is that and how long is it
Fieldwork Co lil shorty. 28inch / 71cm
There’s no link to the custom Sony picture profile
It’s there, check again
How are they even comparable? The A7CII is a) full frame and b) interchangeable lens.
The X100V is APSC and fixed lens. Furthermore, the X100V is marketed at shooters who want a very particular look without having to edit their photos.
Hence the video
Which of the picture profiles are your favourites then?
Kodak Gold is one of my favourites
Great Video
Thanks!
Same thoughts
Every camera can achieve the fake film looks, Fujifilm ones can do that internally, the only difference
Yeah, most hyped camera of the year all comes down to built in presets
Definitely not Sony's x100v.
It's missing the point-- Fuji x100v is great b/c it's a wonderful package camera thats so small and brilliant that it fits in the pocket of almost every single jacket i own. The reason why this camera/nor any other fujifilm interchangeable camera can not be an x100v replacement is that the lenses are simply too large to be an everyday carry anywhere camera. The only Sony camera that fits this mold or design ethos is the brilliant Sony rx1r ii. I really hope Sony brings back these line of cameras again one day and give it a modern update. They were really incredible considering it's a full frame camera yet STILL smaller than Fuji's x100 series cameras.
I’d love to see a RX1R update soon!
The Sony cameras have great features and far better AF. But there isn’t a Sony X100. It’s like comparing a Fully Automated Coffee Machine to an Espresso-Portafilter machine from Italy. OK, the Sonys can capture better photos than fully automatic coffee machines can make espresso. But still…❤ Completely different approach.
Sony RX1
Fuji X100V was a friend of mine. You are NO Fuji X100V.
😂
I guess you've never heard of a RX1R II?
That I have, amazing camera but also pretty dated now. Would love to see an update to it
Still x100v wins my taste.
Nah… that side hinged flippy, flappy, take forever screen is crap.
You cannot compare that to a Fuji
I can and I did.
