Sony A6700 for me, I am a still photographer, and there is a plethora of lenses. I am not sure why there is such a big emphasis on dual SD-card slots. I personally have never suffered a SD card failure, but I know someone who has, and that person bought their card on eBay. I buy my SD-cards from either B&H or Adorama, or even Wall-Mart, and I never had a failure on SD-cards. ETA for you A6700 users, I suggest buying the SD card with double row of contacts, most normal SD-cards only have one row; but the double row of contacts will enable way faster write/read speeds, especially if you dealing with 4K. These cards cost 3-4X more but well worth it.
Dual cards are for pros working major gigs, or large weddings where the paycheck is considerable, where you’d lose that payday if your one card shit the bed, but I don’t know any pros who don’t shoot primarily full frame, anyway, but even a lot of those models lack dual cars slots unless you’re spending bank on the high level stuff like R6ii and R5.
I'm 46 years old and have never wrecked a vehicle. Doesn't mean it can't happen though. I would hate to have once-in-a-lifetime images on a card that failed. I could ruin your reputation if you have one to begin with. Not you specifically I mean in general
@@tomd4748 Not a terrible idea to use a full frame as you *A* camera and a crop sensor as *B* cam / zoom as the pixel density in the a6700 is as high as it gets for Sony cameras in the APSC crop and you'd be able to use your lenses on both.
Ummm… the whole reason for this video is: WINNER IS. I left scratching my head as you’re too polite to overtly state your opinion! So I’ll help you out: XT-5! Has more lens choices, better colors, and excellent ergos. However Sony is not far behind!
@@jeremyg9305 Good point! As someone coming from multiple FF and make backgrounds [Sony, Canon, Nikon, now Fuji] - Sony's AF is surely superior now, but not compared to 5 years ago for all other makes and models, including their own. So for my style, Fuji's AF is just fine - so too my Canon of a decade ago, as I was taking kick a$$! pics back then, and still do today. I just have to manage the processes [like using point focus].
Sort of lacking a conclusion at the end... The XT5 has good ergonomics, great build, phenomenal lens options, the most configurable buttons, saved profiles at the flick of a switch between video and photo, more resolution and much better specs overall. If you are truly a hybrid video/photo shooter it's probably the best option. If you never shoot video, it's also arguably the best apsc for photography only. If you are primarily shooting video and want APSC then you should probably not be looking at a hybrid camera and just go with an XH2s or FX30. But yea for true hybrid shooting I think the XT5 trumps both the R7 and the 6700, by a lot actually. The sony only has 4k120p as a feature advantage but how valuable is that really? And I guess it shoots 4k 60 with a smaller crop 1.06 vs 1.14 but this is insignificant. It lacks 6k options in return. 6k video on xt5 or 4k oversampled is only a 1.23x crop allowing up to 30p. Non-oversampled 4k 60p is a 1.14x crop Non-oversampled 4k up to 30p is full sensor width, no crop.
Sony does have a native Sony Zeiss 24mm 1.8 which is one of their original released lenses. They also sell the full frame 24 2.8 G lens that is plenty small for any APSC body. The original Zeiss 35mm is an other “full frame” lens that is incredibly small and great for APSC.
Exactly. Ive watched a few of his videos and he apparently thinks APS-C cameras only work with APS-C lenses. APS-C lenses are mostly terrible and a waste of money.
@@michaelbell75 The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 is *not* excellent in any other metric other than value for performance.. the Viltrox 27 F1.2 however is simply amazing. I say this as an owner of the Sigma 30mm who definitely wants to trade up. The 30mm is fairly good indoors, but fall apart very quickly outside with the sheer amount of CA it incurs, longitudinal and lateral are both very bad and have absolutely ruined many outdoor shots for me. especially with fine background details like pine trees, it turns into a mess.
i have my first camera the canon r7 and bought the canon r6 m2 but now im a fuji xt5, i love the compact body and third party lenses available for fuji.
Xt5 is really great except fuji ruined it with their firmware updates 😂. Btw im a fuji user and I'll tell you the auto focus in continuous is unreliable
Fuji autofocus is pretty rough. Tried every video possible to go through settings but it just can’t seem to get tracking/eye detect down at all. Gotta go back to Sony.
The Xt4 Dial situation is actually the most versatile. You get 2 customizable dials and most lenses have an aperture ring. The ISO dial works fine and you can map aperture and shutter speed to dials.
Since I have the sigma trio with e-mount for my a6000 and also the 70-350mm sony lens for e-mount it's an easy choice for me. I'm trying to figure out if upgrading from a6000 to a6700 will actually improve my workflow as a hobbyist and it probably will. The a6000 doesnt have a suitable mic input, it only shoots 1080p, no stabilization, the autofocus is good, but it seems like tha a6700 autofocus is just insanely good and that it can track eyes on humans when doing portraits automatically, not I have always have to click a button on my a6700 and "look" for the eye on the subject which works fine, but not having to do that every single shot would be amazing.
I have the A6000 and the A6700. Photography is all about the glass and Sony have a vast range available compared to anyone else, not only their own lenses but excellent third party lenses. Add to this the IBIS with the 6700, this allows the safer use of lenses without IS which are cheaper. The addition of the front dial makes a huge difference for in the field changes. The human / animal / bird subject recognition is a game changer. It works insanely well, it has to be seen to be believed, it really is that good
I would love Canon opening the RF mount, even with some restrictions like "only apsc lenses". I think it would make sense, so Canon can concentrate all their resources in the full frame lenses lineup and the third party ones fill the crop sensor lenses needs
@@joshuaszabo the thing is it is a bit late. consider how much of a head start Sony had already. it is going to be really tough to truly catch up. yes, I'm a Sony shooter but realistically.
The Canon R7 has absolutely no crop in 4K Fine mode. This is a 7K full sensor down sample with truly HORRIBLE rolling shutter, so it should ideally be used on tripods for interviews and no fast moving subjects. The 4K Crop you’re referring to is from a true 4K cutout off the 7K sensor. This mode is not down sampled. The R7 also offers a line-skipped, softer 4K mode that reduces rolling shutter up to 60fps.
Was pretty cropped in when I put it in 4K fine (or what ever they call it) you can also fact check the crop amount on the website or DP review did a great review on the Canon R7
@@gerardneedham perhaps you had digital IS turned on? That crops into the image. But the first paragraph under Video Quality on DPReview says “The EOS R7's oversampled 4K video, taken from the full 7K area of the sensor…” There is no crop on 4K Fine on the R7, that is unless you had digital IS turned on or for some reason used the 4K60 with a 1.81 crop. 4K Fine only works in 24fps and 30fps.
Ok just saying I used to use an xt4 and have had Sony full frame for me the best apsc is the Nikon zfc. Tactile classic controls works like my old film camera and better af than fuji
I wouldn't say bad, the 23 f2 is small and lightweight great for traveling, you just have to know its limitations, wide open at minimum Focus distance its very soft but once you take a few steps back and close down a bit its great for what it is. @@gerardneedham
Despite the lack of a second SD card slot and a few less megapixels. I'm still more than happy with my Sony A6700. It makes amazing photos and videos. As seen in this video. Right now i'm saving for the Sigma 23mm f1.4 lens. Can't wait to add it to my current Sigma trifecta lens collection. Great video and lovely model. Keep up with the good work. I love your videos. Greetings from The Netherlands!
I'm really happy with this camera as well. I think in the future I want to shoot tethered for all my studio work anyways, and I'm looking into something like the iPad mini for a more portable tethering solution
Great video A question if you allow me I have a Canon RP with a 24-105 F4 lens Do you advise me to replace them with a Canon R7 or a Sony A6700 Although I know that my cameras are full-frame, the cameras mentioned in my comment are newer than my camera Thank you from the bottom of my heart
your video definitely helped me made my decision within an adequate amount of my budget on which would be my first mirrorless , i got the sony thanks to your video. subbed! love from Malaysia! please keep the content more like this, you'll never know who you're helping
Couple of things, there is no point in lamenting that a camera that is lower in the range doesn’t share codecs and features of the higher priced models. Cameras are sold like cars, and features will be withheld from lower models, to help encourage an upgrade, or to justify the prices. Another fact about digital.cameras is that they are produced in the most economically sensible way, to get maximum production runs and maximum returns on R&D and tooling. When a camera line announces an upgrade across its line, it is something of a shuffle. This means that a manufactures newest, most powerful processors, sensors etc go into the new flagship camera, and all the established components get moved down the line. This saves everyone money and upgrades each level of camera. However it may also prevent new features being applied across the range. If the flagship camera gets a totally new feature, it is generally because it has a new and inproved processor that can handle it. The previous 'best' processor moved down into a lower tier camera will not be capable of that feature. I’d also point out that APS-C have some advantages over full frame. Sports and wildlife photographers love them because they already provided a crop, that means a relatively light, fast, and cheaper 200mm lens becomes a 300mm on an APSC. Especially when used for photography, the extra stability offered by the Sony probably doesn’t make up for the fact that people aren’t using the viewfinder with it. Just putting a camera to your eye introduces a third point of stability, giving the advantage to the Canon and Fuji. The Fuji does - as you mentioned, only have two control dials, but these are 'clickable'. Applying pressure on either of them immediately switches them to a different mode, so you could argue that you have four control dials. And you also have the aperture dial on almost all of their native lenses, giving you a fifth control dial. And to those saying they have never had a card corrupt, they are mostly right, it is rare but if you are taking money to record a wedding or something, you should definitely be bringing the ability to produce photos even if one becomes corrupted. What i am hearing from increasing numbers of photographers (especially professionals who do shoot with Fuji XT series) is that since the slots are assignable, they will run one card to record their jpgs and the other to record their RAW. Fuji jpgs are generally considered good enough to be used as their quick and easy editing point. And the RAW, rather than being the back up for a card corrupting, is mainly used as their quick and back up if their is a bad exposure, especially for recovering highlights and shadows - if a flash doesn’t fire for instance, a RAW might provide a better more retrievable image.
I’m a longtime Fuji user (since 2018). I shoot headshots and portraits professionally and it’s my partial income. Currently on the Fuji XT5 and X100V. I’m thinking of selling my X100 and getting a Sony A6700 and a few lenses, likely some Sigma primes like the 23 and 56 or even a do it all lens like the Tamron 17-70. Do you think the A6700 can nail portraits/headshots? I want something light, small, fast, and relatively affordable
What is your reasoning? A6700 is not a better camera than xt5 for photos, not for photography at any rate. Is there something that you are missing in XT5? Perhaps, just more/better lenses? From my research, if Sonly has an advantage over Fuji, it's in their full-frame line-up.
Not really fair using an f1.4 lens on the Sony camera, but only using a (much cheaper) f2 on the Fujifilm one, is it? Why not use the direct Fujifilm equivalent?
Hi Gerard thank for u video and i would like to buy sony a 6700 for travel shooting and video as well and pls can u recomment to me best lens where will be ibis sharp too pls let me know regards Sofia
R7 : L'absence d'une troisième molette ne me dérange pas. Cela m'offre 4 boutons personnalisables supplémentaires. Je suis habitué à utiliser les 2 molettes avec le mode FV. Le rolling shutter : je suis en mode 1er rideau avec rafale maxi H 15i/s pour photographier oiseaux, avions à hélices... sinon, toujours en mode électronique. Les isos : en photos de rue, des objectifs à f/1.8 ou f/2.8 permettent de shooter en basse lumière. J'ai le Sigma EF-S 18-35mm f1.8 ART. Et depuis peu, le Sigma RF-S 18-50MM f2.8 qui est plus léger, plus compact, plus discret, étanche.
I have all 3. A 6700 is ergonomically very hard for one hand shooting. I had a a6000 and the transition has been frustrating. The r7 is so comfortable to hold and the xt-5 is better balanced. I love the Sony 6000 series but the 6700 is very uncomfortable.
You choose the lens rendering 8:18. For me, Fuji is the best here. Sony second and Sigma is the worst. Fuji seperate subject, background, and you get the depth information as well. Sigma is flat as a brick. I'm sure you can tweak in post to make it negligible but less click mean more time for other things You should redo this using canon lens. IMO, Sony will have the worst rendering if you're only using native lenses.
The A7C2 is as small and light as the A6700. I think the crop mode on a full-frame sensor camera would be better for DR, noise reduction, and depth of field. Can you let me know what you think?
@@qwe1231 I only asked because there's a price difference, not a significant size or weight difference. Everyone knows the a6700 is cheaper, so I wish you guys would stop saying it's cheaper.
@@WES-pt2ho It is cheaper. (And the difference between a $1400 a6700 and a $2200 A7c2 body isn't "about $500" and that difference grows even more when you add a lens.(Not to mention adding weight.) Again, it's apples and oranges and irrelevant to this video comparison.
Lots to consider. Key items covered. Would not consider single card cam for commercial work, but would not call it a “toy”. Tried Fuji for a while but was disappointed in AF hit rate. Stellar model. Will you be doing a similar comparison for full frame entry level cameras? Stay cool😊. Cheers!
For video I would go with Sony, For images I would go with Canon.. For fun and play maybe XT-5.. I found that some XT-5 images were quite blurry/out of focus in this video..
Definitely not the canon 😅 no they are all great and now you can buy sigma and tamron APSC lenses for canon so they are all amazing For work canon For fun Fuji For your first Sony, Sony
FUJIFILM is the champion in APSC sensor design and also in the film similator log-lut release in all the world,they only work on APSC because to save and coservate Hollywood manner of super 35 film path,,,They try to save vintage HGH CLASS-GLASS LEGENDARY LENSES of 50s 60s 70s 80s which has the most close work flow to the APSC SENSOR SIZE as the brother of SUPER 35 film size,in digital era...
No need to complain about what lens will the r7 will use... the rf and ef and efs work flawlessly with canon adaptor... if u wanna complain about the size then maybe use a ricoh GR its small and compact and no need to change lens or Leica Q2
@@cervantessolim ...and all of those EF lenses most of us have just stopped working? lol My fast 50 and 85 primes work better on the mirrorless Canon bodies than they ever did on the EF bodies thanks to the superior AF systems now. Sony didnt have decades of excellent lenses when they started with FF mirrorless 10 years ago, so they had to make a lot and fast and needed Sigma and Tamron to help bail them out.
Is there anyway to shoot stills with the luts for Sony? That would be super cool! And a way to have “film simulations” like the Fuji :) Thanks dude loved the video
Nah hopefully they will have that in the future, the only brand you can do that is LUMIX, you can have you preset in the camera and it applies it to the JPEG and not the raw file, but you can’t add grain yet
First time I've heard someone pronounce "narrative" like that! And $15 per month? That's seems pretty steep. I mean it's almost as much as an Adobe Lightroom + Photoshop subscription and they're lampooned for their pricing!
Can't say I'm a fan of your comparing I believe it needs to be done again This time with the same shots one after another on the same tripod and with native Sony lenses How you can say that Sony's native lenses aren't good are beyond me Why even get the thing?
So you want me to shoot a creative portrait shoot on tripods and ask the model to stay still while I compose the same shot? This review is a real world experience. Hope that helps
None are. But, if you have to pick, pick the Canon R7. But all those stupid Rs overheat, with the worst offender being the R8, and is now overheating randomly- even at room temperature 🤪
I use a mix of cf Express A, ssds for ninja v, and v90 SD cards. And I don't cheap out on any of these and I had 3 failures this year. Luckily I always shoot with some type of redundancy because it still does happen.
Ok and you also have pros that have shot for 15 years and may have had one failure if ever. To disqualify a camera for professional use because it has one slot is ridiculous. And if your work is so high stakes that the minuscule chance of failure is a legitimate concern you probably aren't using any of these cameras.
Ok but why? If you treat it delicately and don't toss it around, it has clean contacts, is formatted inside the camera, isn't powered down while writing, preferably never leaves the camera at all like I do it, and the data is offloaded as soon as possible. The chance of it just randomly dying when I need it? Yeah I have a hard time believing that is a real problem. There is a better chance of me tripping and my camera going flying then that happening.
Nah, no Fuji sorry. Auto focus is just not it for now. So Sony a6700 for me all the way. I don’t need two card slots, never had any trouble with any of my sd cards before. Getting the Sony a6700 next month for Christmas, treating myself coming from a Canon 250D.
I feel like Canon doesn’t really have a lot going for themselves right now, and the future appears bleak. I really don’t understand what they’re doing.
Buying APS-C lenses is a waste of money. You can't use them on FF bodies unless you are in crop mode and they are optically inferior to FF lenses. Ive shot APS-C cameras off and on for almost 20 years and Ive owned one APS-C lens that I rarely used. FF lenses work brilliantly and you get the bonus crop where a cheap 50mm becomes nearly an 85mm for half the price. Thats a win. The R7 is the easy choice here and there are plenty of great RF lenses for it. Ive shot the RF 28-70 f/2 on it and that will easily give you better image quality than any of these APS-C lenses by a mile.
@@AmaraARW you have no idea what you are talking about. FF glass is superior in every way and if you have paying clients, I really hope you are not using garbage crop sensor lenses.
@@michaelbell75 Fortunately for me my paying clients are perfectly happy with the results achieved with the gear I'm using, so your opinion is irrelevant. If you don't have a compelling argument for how FF glass will make anyone more money then continuing this back and forth is pointless.

Right now i'm saving for the Sigma 23mm f1.4 lens. Can't wait to add it to my current Sigma trifecta lens collection. Great video and lovely model. Keep up with the good work. I love your videos. Greetings from The Netherlands!
I'm really happy with this camera as well. I think in the future I want to shoot tethered for all my studio work anyways, and I'm looking into something like the iPad mini for a more portable tethering solution
I can tell you as the owner of the 23 1.4 that it is a fabulous lens
@@MarcoRompiettiOfficial i believe you right away. Can't wait to have mine...
Wow I don’t know that Sigma 23mm is famous out there
Totally agree, Sony a6700 is an amazing camera with amazing lens options
Great video
A question if you allow me
I have a Canon RP with a 24-105 F4 lens
Do you advise me to replace them with a Canon R7 or a Sony A6700
Although I know that my cameras are full-frame, the cameras mentioned in my comment are newer than my camera
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
your video definitely helped me made my decision within an adequate amount of my budget on which would be my first mirrorless , i got the sony thanks to your video. subbed! love from Malaysia! please keep the content more like this, you'll never know who you're helping
Awesome glad to help
Couple of things, there is no point in lamenting that a camera that is lower in the range doesn’t share codecs and features of the higher priced models. Cameras are sold like cars, and features will be withheld from lower models, to help encourage an upgrade, or to justify the prices.
Another fact about digital.cameras is that they are produced in the most economically sensible way, to get maximum production runs and maximum returns on R&D and tooling. When a camera line announces an upgrade across its line, it is something of a shuffle. This means that a manufactures newest, most powerful processors, sensors etc go into the new flagship camera, and all the established components get moved down the line.
This saves everyone money and upgrades each level of camera. However it may also prevent new features being applied across the range. If the flagship camera gets a totally new feature, it is generally because it has a new and inproved processor that can handle it. The previous 'best' processor moved down into a lower tier camera will not be capable of that feature.
I’d also point out that APS-C have some advantages over full frame. Sports and wildlife photographers love them because they already provided a crop, that means a relatively light, fast, and cheaper 200mm lens becomes a 300mm on an APSC.
Especially when used for photography, the extra stability offered by the Sony probably doesn’t make up for the fact that people aren’t using the viewfinder with it. Just putting a camera to your eye introduces a third point of stability, giving the advantage to the Canon and Fuji.
The Fuji does - as you mentioned, only have two control dials, but these are 'clickable'. Applying pressure on either of them immediately switches them to a different mode, so you could argue that you have four control dials. And you also have the aperture dial on almost all of their native lenses, giving you a fifth control dial.
And to those saying they have never had a card corrupt, they are mostly right, it is rare but if you are taking money to record a wedding or something, you should definitely be bringing the ability to produce photos even if one becomes corrupted.
What i am hearing from increasing numbers of photographers (especially professionals who do shoot with Fuji XT series) is that since the slots are assignable, they will run one card to record their jpgs and the other to record their RAW. Fuji jpgs are generally considered good enough to be used as their quick and easy editing point. And the RAW, rather than being the back up for a card corrupting, is mainly used as their quick and back up if their is a bad exposure, especially for recovering highlights and shadows - if a flash doesn’t fire for instance, a RAW might provide a better more retrievable image.
Great video as always!
Do you have the free LUT pack you mentioned?
Hey man,
yup just uploaded them in the description now, sorry I forgot to link them ahahah
I’m a longtime Fuji user (since 2018). I shoot headshots and portraits professionally and it’s my partial income. Currently on the Fuji XT5 and X100V. I’m thinking of selling my X100 and getting a Sony A6700 and a few lenses, likely some Sigma primes like the 23 and 56 or even a do it all lens like the Tamron 17-70. Do you think the A6700 can nail portraits/headshots? I want something light, small, fast, and relatively affordable
What is your reasoning? A6700 is not a better camera than xt5 for photos, not for photography at any rate. Is there something that you are missing in XT5? Perhaps, just more/better lenses? From my research, if Sonly has an advantage over Fuji, it's in their full-frame line-up.
which one do you prefer when doing stills?
XT5 of course, I love this camera for photography
thanks for the great review! like the facial expressions at 4:32 haha
Thanks for watching!
Not really fair using an f1.4 lens on the Sony camera, but only using a (much cheaper) f2 on the Fujifilm one, is it? Why not use the direct Fujifilm equivalent?
Yeah I didn’t have access to the f1.4 Fuji, so I shot everything at f2 on the Sony canon and Fuji
@7:53 ...are you sure the Sony and Fuji raws aren't swapped?? 😮
And Kate is well fit ❤
Kate is awesome follow her insta
Great video!! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great video thanks!🔥I would love to see some sample raws to download for editing. Would that be possible?
Sure thing! Send me a dm and I’ll send them thru
I feel like the fugi is slightly out of focus half the Time.... What is going on?
Yeah I think its that older F2 lens to be fair, Fuji have some great and terrible lenses
Hi Gerard thank for u video and i would like to buy sony a 6700 for travel shooting and video as well and pls can u recomment to me best lens where will be ibis sharp too pls let me know regards Sofia
I reckon this sigma 23mm f1.4 is fantastic and very versatile focal length
R7 : L'absence d'une troisième molette ne me dérange pas. Cela m'offre 4 boutons personnalisables supplémentaires. Je suis habitué à utiliser les 2 molettes avec le mode FV. Le rolling shutter : je suis en mode 1er rideau avec rafale maxi H 15i/s pour photographier oiseaux, avions à hélices... sinon, toujours en mode électronique. Les isos : en photos de rue, des objectifs à f/1.8 ou f/2.8 permettent de shooter en basse lumière. J'ai le Sigma EF-S 18-35mm f1.8 ART. Et depuis peu, le Sigma RF-S 18-50MM f2.8 qui est plus léger, plus compact, plus discret, étanche.
I have all 3. A 6700 is ergonomically very hard for one hand shooting. I had a a6000 and the transition has been frustrating.
The r7 is so comfortable to hold and the xt-5 is better balanced.
I love the Sony 6000 series but the 6700 is very uncomfortable.
Fuji for the win yeooow
I have the Fuji and the a6700 and I don't share your opinion... the 6700 is better by far.
Nice video.
But you could have used .
The rf 50 1.8 or ef.
Or the sigma 18-35 1.8 art
the colour on the Fuji is superior but Sony has better AF
Yup
Easy X-H2 or X-h2s .. Better then all of the tested camera's :P in my opinion.
Depends on you needs
Probably theres a need for you to update this content after canon allows sigma and tamron make a third party lens for mirrorless
How have you only got 6k subs, criminal!
7.5 now yeoow let’s go 10k
You choose the lens rendering 8:18. For me, Fuji is the best here. Sony second and Sigma is the worst. Fuji seperate subject, background, and you get the depth information as well. Sigma is flat as a brick. I'm sure you can tweak in post to make it negligible but less click mean more time for other things
You should redo this using canon lens. IMO, Sony will have the worst rendering if you're only using native lenses.
Yeah I wanted to use a different lens but I couldn’t get a hold of any other canon lenses ahahhaha
The A7C2 is as small and light as the A6700. I think the crop mode on a full-frame sensor camera would be better for DR, noise reduction, and depth of field. Can you let me know what you think?
The title of the video was “best APSC sensors” you can’t compare a full frame camera to those listed. The price is almost 1k difference as well.
@@mracekproductions With the same body size, it seems a bit silly to choose the APS-C sensor. The difference is only about $500 these days.
@@WES-pt2ho Not in the example you gave. You're comparing apples and oranges, while ignoring the price and weight of lenses too.
@@qwe1231 I only asked because there's a price difference, not a significant size or weight difference. Everyone knows the a6700 is cheaper, so I wish you guys would stop saying it's cheaper.
@@WES-pt2ho It is cheaper. (And the difference between a $1400 a6700 and a $2200 A7c2 body isn't "about $500" and that difference grows even more when you add a lens.(Not to mention adding weight.) Again, it's apples and oranges and irrelevant to this video comparison.
Lots to consider. Key items covered. Would not consider single card cam for commercial work, but would not call it a “toy”. Tried Fuji for a while but was disappointed in AF hit rate. Stellar model. Will you be doing a similar comparison for full frame entry level cameras? Stay cool😊. Cheers!
Yeah fujis autofocus has been improved a lot with the XT5
Very insightful, brother!!!
Glad you think so!
For video I would go with Sony, For images I would go with Canon.. For fun and play maybe XT-5.. I found that some XT-5 images were quite blurry/out of focus in this video..
Yeah you can’t bet sony for video
Did you say which camera win ?
Definitely not the canon 😅 no they are all great and now you can buy sigma and tamron APSC lenses for canon so they are all amazing
For work canon
For fun Fuji
For your first Sony, Sony
Not using the fantastic Fujifilm XF23f1.4 for comparison is a big mistake
Which one clicks sharper pics?
Don't have money to buy any of them but i love watching these videos.
Maybe consider the xt3 or the a6400 they are great options
i own fuji (x-s10) i use to have c40d, from what i see here i personally like canon colours the best here
Good choice!
FUJIFILM is the champion in APSC sensor design and also in the film similator log-lut release in all the world,they only work on APSC because to save and coservate Hollywood manner of super 35 film path,,,They try to save vintage HGH CLASS-GLASS LEGENDARY LENSES of 50s 60s 70s 80s which has the most close work flow to the APSC SENSOR SIZE as the brother of SUPER 35 film size,in digital era...
Fujifilm slaps
Yoh i love your presets
Oh thanks bro
XT5 All the way
Fuji gang 😎
No need to complain about what lens will the r7 will use... the rf and ef and efs work flawlessly with canon adaptor... if u wanna complain about the size then maybe use a ricoh GR its small and compact and no need to change lens or Leica Q2
39 lenses in five years compared to hundreds of lenses for Sony is something to complain about
@@cervantessolim ...and all of those EF lenses most of us have just stopped working? lol My fast 50 and 85 primes work better on the mirrorless Canon bodies than they ever did on the EF bodies thanks to the superior AF systems now. Sony didnt have decades of excellent lenses when they started with FF mirrorless 10 years ago, so they had to make a lot and fast and needed Sigma and Tamron to help bail them out.
@@cervantessolim u din read my comments before replying... the last time i check EF and 3rd party EF lens that can be adapted to RF mount arent 30
EF lenses are sub par to the newer RF lenses, older DLSR lenses can’t compare to newer mirrorless lenses,
@@gerardneedham what do mean by 'cant compare?' Even those sony users used adapted EF glass on their mirrorless
Is there anyway to shoot stills with the luts for Sony? That would be super cool! And a way to have “film simulations” like the Fuji :)
Thanks dude loved the video
Nah hopefully they will have that in the future, the only brand you can do that is LUMIX, you can have you preset in the camera and it applies it to the JPEG and not the raw file, but you can’t add grain yet
First time I've heard someone pronounce "narrative" like that! And $15 per month? That's seems pretty steep. I mean it's almost as much as an Adobe Lightroom + Photoshop subscription and they're lampooned for their pricing!
Flawed because you're only using one set up scenario.
If you do wildlife, sports or venues it would be a different story altogether.
The Sony does not work for me, because the viewfinder is on the left. I simply cannot close my right eye alone. Only the other way around.
Can't say I'm a fan of your comparing
I believe it needs to be done again
This time with the same shots one after another on the same tripod and with native Sony lenses
How you can say that Sony's native lenses aren't good are beyond me
Why even get the thing?
So you want me to shoot a creative portrait shoot on tripods and ask the model to stay still while I compose the same shot?
This review is a real world experience.
Hope that helps
Fuji seems so blurry 9:00
Autofocus on that lens isn’t ideal
I dunno what Canon did to their colour, but the skin tones are horrible SOOC.
I didn’t notice anything crazy
The model seems to prefer the Fuji.
😅
None are. But, if you have to pick, pick the Canon R7. But all those stupid Rs overheat, with the worst offender being the R8, and is now overheating randomly- even at room temperature 🤪
But one fing that really frustrates me is that you call thing 'fing'.
Ahahahhaha I’m from New Zealand, what do you want me to do, it’s my accent
Sony
Slaps 💪
A proper sd card failing is something that almost never happens and is barely worth mentioning.
Yeah a week ago my friend has his sandisk uhs i sd card failed on his sony a6400 hahaha thank God he backed up all the files before it happened
I use a mix of cf Express A, ssds for ninja v, and v90 SD cards. And I don't cheap out on any of these and I had 3 failures this year. Luckily I always shoot with some type of redundancy because it still does happen.
Ok and you also have pros that have shot for 15 years and may have had one failure if ever. To disqualify a camera for professional use because it has one slot is ridiculous. And if your work is so high stakes that the minuscule chance of failure is a legitimate concern you probably aren't using any of these cameras.
Until it happens lol a friend just had a SD card corrupt mid wedding and didn’t have dual cards 😂
Ok but why? If you treat it delicately and don't toss it around, it has clean contacts, is formatted inside the camera, isn't powered down while writing, preferably never leaves the camera at all like I do it, and the data is offloaded as soon as possible. The chance of it just randomly dying when I need it? Yeah I have a hard time believing that is a real problem. There is a better chance of me tripping and my camera going flying then that happening.
Nah, no Fuji sorry. Auto focus is just not it for now. So Sony a6700 for me all the way. I don’t need two card slots, never had any trouble with any of my sd cards before. Getting the Sony a6700 next month for Christmas, treating myself coming from a Canon 250D.
Sony colors are indeed the worst, even if they likely manufacture sensors for all other cameras...
Buy 3 sony's A6700, compare colors sooc, they are never the same.
Personal preference
@@gerardneedhamMost definitely not. They're are just wrong and hard to work with. And the erratic Sony WB is adding to the pain.
I feel like Canon doesn’t really have a lot going for themselves right now, and the future appears bleak. I really don’t understand what they’re doing.
Yup
Hi
xt5 - soap
So the xt5 is clean
Stop using white background, really bad for your audience, just use slightly cream color or light grey.
I’ve done grey and cream before but I prefer white for the photo to stand out more
And I think I knew the ugliest.
Sad to Sony ahahahaha (canon still loves you)
He said sony a6700 is not a professional camera 😂😂😂 , but R7 is 😂😂😂😂😂 he doesn't know anything about cameras
Yeah I do, and I would never pay any one to shoot for us with out dual SD cards.
That’s an amateur mistake!
Buying APS-C lenses is a waste of money. You can't use them on FF bodies unless you are in crop mode and they are optically inferior to FF lenses. Ive shot APS-C cameras off and on for almost 20 years and Ive owned one APS-C lens that I rarely used. FF lenses work brilliantly and you get the bonus crop where a cheap 50mm becomes nearly an 85mm for half the price. Thats a win. The R7 is the easy choice here and there are plenty of great RF lenses for it. Ive shot the RF 28-70 f/2 on it and that will easily give you better image quality than any of these APS-C lenses by a mile.
That assumes people are going to have both.. some people only have one camera, have multiple APSC cameras, or shoot Fuji that doesn't have FF
@@AmaraARW Still, APS-C lenses are a waste of money. Unless you are stuck with a Fuji, buy FF lenses. Zero reason to buy inferior crop glass.
@@michaelbell75 buying FF glass for an APSC is a waste of money, as that glass won't get you higher paying clients. It's not financially justifiable.
@@AmaraARW you have no idea what you are talking about. FF glass is superior in every way and if you have paying clients, I really hope you are not using garbage crop sensor lenses.
@@michaelbell75 Fortunately for me my paying clients are perfectly happy with the results achieved with the gear I'm using, so your opinion is irrelevant. If you don't have a compelling argument for how FF glass will make anyone more money then continuing this back and forth is pointless.
