The Z6 colours look very natural.
The Z6 looked better on the side by side by a LOT to me
It was the Viltrox lens firmware I was talking about :) Firmware 1.07 I think. Before that, the lens ignored the focus speed in camera. I have mine on +4 tracking, and -4 speed for the Viltrox and it's pretty smooth. It's still not a great lens for autofocus though. Z6 is superior :)
lol - I finally got that done. It took 5 cables and 3 computers heh heh. I got it to the new firmware this afternoon, what a pain :) Yup, the Z6 is the best buy on the block right now. Get a gray market one. I love that 7S3 your playing with though, yup, a perfect camera lol. But it needs to do 30fps at full frame without crop or its a deal breaker for me personally. Will be making a video on the S5 Lumix tonite, I will see how the V behaves now :)
Thank you. Your comparisons, explanation and demonstrations are fantastic. Thank you
Olympus has a color wheel for easily adjusting hue and saturation perfectly. All cameras should have one.
Brilliant Peter various parts of your input adds to the never-stop learning we all do in photography & videography l have none of those cameras still using the GH4R with G9 & GX8 which all have their pros & cons. Coming from the days of Film back in the mid 60s the self-taught trials & errors inc Developing never fail, even in these ever-changing Digital Days, to make me realise the Art of Capturing has no boundaries and each can teach (poetic...) through trial & error - today, even though l am not a Portrait or Wedding Photographer, you revived something l knew but had let slip my mind of the Dominant Eye... thank you for your videos I’m sure those Camera Manufacturers are listening : The Fuji overall, in my opinion, was better colour balance - the future - now where will that take us, l hope always with a Camera & Lens than a ‘Smart Phone’ that will probably connect directly to the Optic Nerve...? Hope your keeping well through these uncertain times. Michael /OAK77uk
Peter...is the video SOOC ? Picture profile? White balance? That would be helpful. Great Video!
Joev
I guess you could say that the colour competition is pretty even - it is a matter of personal preferences. Is the Windex bottle half full, or half empty?
XT4 has face look more red but the shirt looks better and more saturated and colorful. You look healthier to me with the nikon.
awesome work thanks a lot!
Hello Peter I have decided to go for Sony A73s camera however, I am not sure about the lens to go with? How about Sony 12-24 GM. Is this lens good for videos? I Need your opinion.
Thank you for the video, you make my decision clear now to choose Nikon z6
Nikon seems to be making some solid cameras in the Z7, Z6, and now Z5. I've been contemplating jumping back into full frame and I'm surprised how well these cameras perform in terms of AF. Great comparison.👍
👋hello! I love to watch your honest reviews loaded with alot of information.
Q? Please advise best pick ☆ ( Fujifilm xt4 VS Nikon z6ii ) I am a hobbyist. Thanks 🤝
Z6 wins very well!
The z6 output is one of the best I have seen. I created my own picture profile and it looks perfect SOOC. The xt4 AF is very similar to Panasonic, it is not smooth and loses you a lot. Nikon AF is identical to DPAF from Canon, I bet they reverse engineered their AF because Nikon went from the worst to one of the best in a single generation. "It's not bouncing around" while it is bouncing around, LOL.
Very good video 👍how does z6 compare to eos r??
the trick with Fujifilm focus is - 1) lens in non Fujinon 2) camera has advanced setting for focus system how fast to be and where is pointing to - Face/left -right Eye and also on priority on which color has to be focused too first. - This video does not shown setting on both cameras . PLUS color of optics via Viltrox can be different than is on Fujinon
like the x-t4 colors more. but focus needs improvement.
I am watching on another tv and I see focusing issues using the Fuji background changing in and out slightly.
thank you for this video
Z6 or z7 which one is a better camera?
Thanks for this comparison. I own the Fuji xt3 and I love the colors for everything but skin tones. I'm also a Nikon shooter and prefer it for portraits. I want to switch out my old DSLR for mirrorless and I've gone back and forth if I should go with Fuji xt4 or Nikon z6. Your video helped to make the decision. Nikon z6 for me.
Tammy, I am in your exact situation and have a full Nikon kit with pro glass, plus I own an XT-3 with 23mm f/1.4 and 35mm f1.4. Have you gotten a Z6 yet? I'd love to hear your thoughts compared to the Fuji, especially when it comes to size and weight comparison, but image quality too. I also don't care for Fuji skin tones which is why I'm reconsidering Nikon Z6ii. Thanks!
@@tombalazs5914 Did the same. Instead of upgrading to the xt4 went with the nikon z6ii, overall it's just a much better system
@@AcidicDelusion I picked up 2 Z6ii's, 50mm 1.8S, 35mm 1.8S, and 70-200 2.8S and am so happy with my decision. Also sold all my Fuji gear except the X100f to have as a hobby camera. My only big complaint with the Z6ii is the startup time, especially after changing lenses. Sometimes it takes over 2 seconds to turn on, and for wedding photography that means I'm missing shots every now and then. Hopefully that can be addressed in a firmware update.
@@tombalazs5914
I just returned an XT3 and I'm supposed to get an XT3 but I liked the z6 and a7iii I was shown. They just felt better to hold and a little easier to use and comprehend lol. I'm going back to the store today. I don't care about video, at all lol. I just want something for travel, street photography, and portraits. Nikon would be better all around?
@@zerospecs2331 If you're a working professional, I would recommend the Nikon Z6II over the Fuji system, as I have high standards when it comes to image quality. The only down side of choosing Nikon is that the lenses are still more expensive and bigger/heavier than their Fuji counterparts. The camera bodies are just about the same size when compared side by side, but the Nikon's have a much better grip. I also love the contrast and color renditions on the Nikkor lenses. I've been really happy with my Z6II's, and my kit as a whole. One major recommendation when choosing a Nikon Z camera... only consider the mark II versions of either the Z6 or Z7's. The mark II's have MUCH better autofocus, dual memory card slots, and other features that the regular Z6 or Z7 dont have that you will wish you had. Happy shooting!
Nikon and Fuji colors have always been my favorite. I was surprised that in this excellent comparison I preferred the Fuji overall. Your skin-tone on the Nikon was too pale, but I'd have to see your Nikon settings as all these can be drastically adjusted to taste in both cameras. I think Nikon has actually bested Fuji's "Kaizen" with their FW updates lately. Prefer the full frame, contrast, and sharpness of the Nikon, and the glitchy/pulsing on the X-T4 would be a video deal breaker for me. Peter, how does the Fuji AF compare to Nikon AF for just photography... do you have more confidence in one over the other? I almost bought into the Fuji ecosystem, but purchased a Z6ii as a stop-gap. I thought I was going to purchase the A7IV when it dropped, but there was not anything in that camera that attracted me to pass on Nikon's colors. Excited for the X-H2(S) to drop, hoping it's AF is on par with their competition. Thanks for great comparison.
You still look younger with the Nikon 😀👍
Wondering if more resolution can help someone with bad eyesight see better. Like does 8K benefit someone with bad eyesight. I have 60yr old whom I'm a caretaker and his eyes are really bad. He needs surgery type bad to correct them.
Fuji looks way better. You look slightly over sharpened and paler on the Nikon, so personally thought the Fuji was way more flattering
The fujifilm was using Viltrox lens, so not a fair evaluation of the auto focus. You'd need to try with one of the newer fujinons.
Hi Lyn, I have the 16mm 2.8, it too is poor. Fuji doesn't do video focus very well but an awesome stills camera. It also does video well too, just pre-focus. The Viltrox lens is actually better than most of the Fuji lenses and the bonus is it is a lower price lens which is great for a lot of people!
this is the first video I watched on this channel, I wonder why this channel doesn't have more than 100k subscribers.
Thanks Peter 👍👍👍👍
I like what Fuji does with their skin tones . Just my preference. Your hair also was very pearly and sharp.
Nikon looks the best. I recommend if you have a sharp lens turn in camera sharpness down to 0 or 1 point
I kinda like the Fuji colours better except for the skintones (too much red). Auto-focus is what really sets them apart. Good video Peter!
I like both colours from the Fuji and the Oly not so much from the Nikon. Focus on Nikon is better though. With the reds in the Fuji, you need to get into the camera's settings and adjust them down a little as well as turning down the vibrance a point or two as it's set too high as standard.
Nikon Zed IMO has most realistic clean focus and colors....I also notice the bokeh is much smoother as well which may be the lens on the Nikon is better too. The Olympus is very good too, but lacks the clarity of the Z.
When you look at the autofocus the Nikon excels, the Olympus is very good, and the Fujifilm needs a bit of attention.'l
Judging by this test video I think it's time to pick up the Nikon Z6 again. Seems extremely solid.
I tried on several monitors and one monitor the xt4 was very vibrant, and the x6 was kinda neutral. On another monitor it was pretty close but the xt4 was more vibrant. I'm just overall upset with fuji autofocus. When you do events or video, i think confidence in your tool is major. You don't want to use a hammer that says it'll work nails and discover it only works 50% on nails and 50% on your thumb. This is not at production level sadly.
Hello Peter: interesting video!
To my eye, the Nikon and Fujifilm cameras look quite similar, with the Nikon producing a neutral palette 🎨, the Fuji a bit more saturated, and the Olympus a bit less saturated. All look better than the Canon from the last video.
As a Fuji & Nikon owner I feel that neither colour is quite right. Too hot (Fuji) too yellow (Nikon) - overall I prefer the Nikon but feel that Canon beats both. The Nikon also looks cleaner than the Fuji.
I think there is a common thought amongst the opinions. Fuji, too saturated and not as good in the focus test as the Nikon. I really, really like the pleasing color of the Oly and if it weren’t oversharpened, I would want one for myself. I feel I can comment without bias as my background has been with Canon for decades. Prior to that is was Mamiya medium format. I am troubled to see in a previous video the Canon issue with its interpretation of the color blue as “purple.” I can tell you that I had that issue many years ago with our Canon DSLR’s and it cost me tens of thousands of dollars. I hope Canon can address that now that is out of the bag.
I am watching this video between my iPhone, Lenovo 4K labtop, and 5k iMac, I watched in google chrome, safari, Firefox, and Microsoft edge. In safari the fuji looks a bit more saturated but both have a slight green cast, and the iMac is recently color calibrated. I slightly prefer the fuji in safari. With Firefox both images are oversaturated and have a red tint with the fuji more so. I prefer the Nikon. On my Lenovo in google chrome they look similar to Firefox with a touch less saturation and again I prefer the Nikon. Using Microsoft edge both images have a slight red tint to them with the Fuji being more severe. I prefer the Nikon. On my iPhone they are in-between and the colors look natural with a bit more saturation on the Fuji. I prefer the fuji very slightly on the iPhone. I never realized the colors shifted that much browser to browser. One thing that did not change is the Nikon's focus in much better than the fuji. The fuji is much better in todays video but still unacceptable.
Very astute observations, Paul!
I watched on my iPhone and iPad, using the TH-cam app. To my eye, the iPad and iPhone 📱 look better than any of the browsers on my laptop 💻.
Overall, I prefer the natural look produced by the Nikon Z 6, but any of the three cameras could be tweaked to please any viewer.
@@norm7257 I agree with you. To my eyes as well the iPhone and iPad have the most pleasing colors.
thanks for the comparison... x-t4 autofocus unreliable... z6 is solid, i wish it had same video features as x-t4
I have found that photos always seem to be too magenta with the Fuji.
Very interesting video.
The Z6 it looks more natural.
The XT4 is to red for my liking.
The Olympus beats both of them.
I use my kit like this...Z6 portrait / Landscape, when I want more natural looking images.....Fuji Xpro3 & Olympus Pen F to be arty.
I especially like the black and white profiles on the Pen F.
All the best.
Nikon very good (little bit digital look), the Olympus looks very natural (on my monitor), and the Fuji focus breathing is very distracting (because of the 33mm lens).
Why not to tell us about 10bit internal recording and rolling shutter
Gosh you should try dialling in the AF better on the Fuji and use a native lens.
I use Fuji all day every day and don’t have AF issues
“This ain’t the way to be flying this airplane “...😎😂😎
Z6 colors look much more realistic, and it focuses better and smoother by miles. Being FF, Z6 also has a lot better dynamic range which is more visible when you stood directly under the light and Z6 had much more details in your hairs where XT4 is clipping the highlights.
I love the Fuji 🤷
The Z6 had better autofocus here. Both were fine when you looked away from the camera, but I noticed the Fuji pulsing a bit every time you turned your head back to the camera.
I recall from elsewhere that the Fuji 33 f1.4 has poor video autofocus so it's hard to be certain whether the problem is with the camera or the lens. On the other hand the few Z apparently all have good video AF performance, and even the old F lenses work well. So Nikon is more consistent. Compared to the XT4 with Fuji's best video AF lenses? With the latest firmware it looks like Nikon AF is as good.
I have an ancient Nikon DSLR and am thinking of upgrading. Good 4K video would be extremely useful and this has made the XT4 and Z6 my leading contenders. So a very useful comparison for me, thanks!
1. Nikon Z6 for color and focus. 2. Olympus em1 m2 very close for color and focus. 3. Fuji xt4 least favorite of the three.
fuji xt4 or nikon z6/2
Fujifilm’s just a crop camera, so the Nikon Z6 has no worries. Also, the Z6 now selling for $1,796 vs the X-T4 $1,699.95. I would defiantly get the Z6. The X-T4 should be compared to the Z50 or D500 APS-C camera’s.
The xt4 blows the z50 out of the water. The xt4 can be compare with any 2k ff or apsc camera easy and be in the top. Also the xt4 has lot of glass compare with the z6 or z50 without adapter and more adorable. I own an a7iii and I think the xt4 is a better camera don't let the apsc size make you think that ff are naturally better is marketing
But the Olympus EM1 is more a crop camera but....
Why doesn’t the Z6 has N-Log 10bit intern 😔 or at least N-Log intern. I dont rely on AF for video and I got a few Fuji primes, so I‘ll stay with Fuji. But normally, for the price between the two, I should choose full frame, right? Let‘s hope Fuji will update and improve the AF-C.
I prefer Nikon's color here and their AF is better too. Fuji's AF still needs a lot of work.
Who would win? Flying to Mars or getting to the end of a Peter Gregg video? 🤣
For sure something wonderful always happens when one watches PeterGregg. Great work as always.
Viewing on the IPhone 11 and the Fuji looks the best.
Fuji seems better in everything except depth of field. Love full frame bokeh 😁
Nikon colors look better, AF is better and DOF is better. I would say Fuji is great for the price but at this moment they are about the same price!
Xt4 clour is so good..
more contrast on the olympus.
XT4 is clearly more saturated. Z6 maybe is more realistic.
I'm glad to see John Candy is doing well with his hobby
So much sharpening these days, many cameras look like phones.
Fuji was better, olympus had best colors. Nikon had that phone "sharpness"
Z6 the winer!
The Z6 makes you look better but the XT4 makes your background especially the tree have more color.
I'd look again, if you like CA, yikes! 11:33
Nikon was a more pleasing image. Colors were actually better on the Olympus to my eye.
Fuji is a little darker but otherwise the same as the Z6. The Olympus seems flat.
Right off the bat, Olympus has perfect natural color, Nikon is closer to natural but not exactly & Fuji saturates everything up ! So, for a novice, Fuji colors look appealing !
XT4 makes you look better color-wise
The Nikon side looks better
NIKON wins ! ...
The Fuji has a third party lens not native
The Fujifilm X-T4 will look 10 times better than the Nikon when compared correctly. First of all, the Viltrox lens is a class B lens. It is a soft lens. It is not the X-T4 that is causing that color shift. It is the Viltrox lens. Second, the Fujifilm X-T4 colors are incorrectly calibrated. Your teeth look yellow like if you were a tabaco chewer (which I know you are not). And finally, the X-T4 focuses differently. I explained it to you but I don't think you understood the focusing parameters of the Fujifilm cameras. You should not tell viewers that the camera doesn't focus on the edges when you have the camera set to NOT focus on the edges. I will go live again later today and show you what I am talking about and I will re-explain the Fujifilm focus system and di the walk of focus live so you can see that the camera focus works. But the Fujifilm cameras focus will work based on how you tell it to focus. "Love you all!"
Talking of 10, The Fuji lost focus right in the middle of the screen at least 10 times. Here’s what you gotta do.
1. Watch Phillip Bloom study the Xt4 before you go online again. 2. Buy and use the Z6. 3. Use the Z6 with old Dslr lenses with the adapter. 4. Then try it with a 3rd party lens like Tamron. Then come back and talk about ‘10 times better’. The Fuji 1.4 lenses are NOT made for video. Why is it a surprise that Peter uses the Viltrox? Where does Fuji say “the 16 to 55 2.8 Only for smooth video focusing”? Now, in 8bit, @200mbps the Fuji shows up noise quicker than Nikon 8bit @~140 mbps. The Nikon colours are Better unless your eyes are defective. Fuji has a purple tone in All profiles. Peter’s teeth look yellow, EVEN with the Viltrox which offers a cooler image (which is less yellow/ orange). When you correct that in camera WB, you will have to move to purple. However, Eterna does a better job. Blacks are aggressively crushed in ProNeg, Provia and Velvia. Peter is right. The Zs are more flattering.
Btw, for your information, the Fuji 35 f1.4 is a class B lens when compared that with the Z50mm 1.8S.
@@mainmain5303 that is correct not all lenses from ALL companies ... regardless if it is Fuji, Canon, Nikon or Leica are class A lenses. When you do comparison tests, you need to compare APPLES to APPLES.
@@mainmain5303 here is what you need to do. Watch all my cinematography and videos using the X-T4.... then come back and talk to me. You can't talk about a camera when you don't even own it. AND you can't talk about a camera when you have only had it for less than a week and you are just getting to know it. I am not a photographer, nor a wedding photographer.. but I've been shooting cinematography for over 30 years and have plenty to show for it. What do you have to show for it? I DID NOT THINK SO!
@@mainmain5303 I'd suggest it's you with the defective eyes. Have you been checked for colour deficiencies? Sounds like you may be slightly tritanomaly biased.
XT4 seems downright unusable, didn't expect that.
I prefer the Nikon. The Fuji skin tones are too red imo. Just like Fuji film stocks! :-)
color is subjective , but fuji AF is definitely worse in this footage.
As always Fuji is on miss piggy style
😂
Xt4 has iinternal log, z6 doesn t.
Match point for fuji and end discussion
Luckily Nikon allows you to create and add custom profiles for internal recording (and LOG is nothing but a color profile). You can either create one yourself with their picture control 2 software or just download one (there are several sources that provide them for free). That takes about two minutes of work. But it will probably forever stay their secret why they didn't include that themselves.
@@romanpul no roman..... log is 10bit.... nikon internal profile just 8. with 422 more possibility for color grading. I like the nikon colors but not video and stabilisation.
Sotto Sopra Log generally has nothing to do with the bit-depth. The internal S-Log of the A7III is also only 8 bit. But yes 10 bit is definitely nicer. Not arguing about that. Generally having 10 bit internally is a major advantage of the fuji
@@romanpul yes but sony s log is 420 8bit and not 10 bit 422. But best log that I used till now is v log of panasonic
xt 4 looks better In skin tones
Z-6 is the winner by far.
Z6 image quality is better.
Idk what it is, but my eyes hurt 50s into this video. Movement looks very unnatural to me.
When you’re 80 you will wish you had 60 year old skin. When your 90 you won’t care 😂
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Fuji can't keep the focus for a minute without some glitches & jerks.
The Nikon is more "natural" compared to the Fujifilm.
Nikon Bokeh wins it for me
I see Nikon cleaner & sharpper, while i see worme more colors with Fuji
bokeh balls... z6 easy win
The xt4 looks more realistic and filmic
The other cameras look like they were on filmed on a cell phone
