The one thing they all share in common is absolutely terrible "apps".
They're all so profoundly frustrating and unreliable.
The Fuji XApp works really well in my opinion
@@gio1991ber I agree, XApp works well, Leica Fotos isn't terrible either its somewhere in between the old Fuji app and XApp experience.
@@gio1991berit's good when it works lol
still many bugs
also no raw, which is understandable but it will be appreciated if there's a raw option.
the connection speed is also an issue
Weirdly the Fuji app works well, despite it being one of the worst reviewed. The Nikon app is crap - it drops connection to the Z9 every 1 in 2 times I try to download a photo. It was easier to just set up an FTP server instead 😑
Fuji XApp is like really great one so far. Maybe it's a hint that Fujifilm is somehow going to do overhaul redesign on their Settings soon.
Honestly Fujis biggest issue is not having their most popular cameras available
we need xprp4
And the winding down of their film business 😢
and their lack of full frame. just do it already
@@happysunshinemedia7092 Medium format.
@@DelCause too much for what i need. Also file sizes are massive
I think calling Sony slow to update their firmware is a real understatement. I actually teach a class on the Sony menu system. One of my most frequently asked questions is “where do I get this Play Memories App that the manual talks about?” People are usually not happy to learn that the app was done away with years ago and their brand new a7II has never been updated to support Imaging Edge. Add to that the fact that we now have Sony transitioning to the Creator’s App and even its flagship doesn’t support the Creator’s App. Refusing to update firmware is going to really bite Sony. And that’s a shame because it’s very much a self inflicted wound.
Absolutely agree, I have an A6400 and I've been feeling completely left out by the lack of software updates, it can definitely run the latest software but sony decided against it for some reason
You're absolutely right, compared to Fuji, Sony is doing just nothing. Meanwhile Fujifilm released lots of updates for old cameras with ridiculous autofocus and other improvements....
@@--.-- compared to Nikon, Sony is also doing nothing. And compared to Canon, Sony is still not doing all that much
Sony isnt very good when it comes to software. It even spreads to their phone lineup. There’s a lot of glitches. You need to restart the phone once a day to get the os run smooth and fix those glitches that pops up constantly.
And while the current trend in the market is to expand the software support. They still hadnt made any commitments to do that.
When you pay 1400usd for a phone, you expect it to last for a long time. Not just 2 years of os upgrades and 3 years of security updates.
Come on Sony, stop looking for us to replace our expensive cameras by not keeping them up to date. Most Sony users love the brand but there are still options to move away.
I am SO excited to eventually see the viewer heatmap on this video.
Ohhhhh, I didn't even think about that. Guess I'll keep this tab open for a few more days!
what is a viewer heatmap?
2nd is Sony and number one is ….
Fujifilm😂
@@dimm__ you can see which parts of the video are watched the most after it’s been viewed enough times
@@SnoopyNugwouldn’t the order make the biggest difference in that? I know I don’t skip ahead pretty much ever.
my problem with every camera brand is how pocket cameras are disappearing.
Phones killed them :/
Every year phone camera’s keep improving even if it’s a little, too the point there isn’t competition for pocket cameras (as far as I’m aware)
The Fuji X100 series is alive and very well.
As the Ricoh GR and GRX
totally agree
I would like to see Panasonic and OM-system built in to their cameras recognition for each others lenses so the camera could use both companies lens stabilitation systems.
this would be real nice. But I think they are even less collaborative than ever right now. I worry about this a little, but reality is it's usually either the Panaleica or the Oly lens that are better in each size. So I generally just cross fingers and accept the issue.
yep thats why one reason i dropped panasonic and micro four thirds.
Not gonna happen. Both protect their proprietary technology. They both offer in-body stab anyway, now. Personally, I don;t see the need for in-lens stab if you have good in-body stab.
That is only feasible for Panny cams/lenses that support dual IS2 and Oly bodies that support proper IS sync, The rest lack the needed positioning sensors.
Is dual stabilization that great? It's my understanding that it only offers like half a stop and just bumping iso and shutter would offer better results with optical stabilization.
Worst thing about Fujifilm menu are greyed-out items. If there is an incompatibility between features (say electronic shutter and flash), it's up to you to remember the multi-hundred page manual which dutifully lists all incompatibilities. Best thing that can happen to you at a wedding (of course you can power-cycle to go back to a known state, but that resets all other settings you may have modified). How much better would it be to have a little message pop up and say "Hey, can't do that with the ES on, would you like me to switch it to MS for you? Yes/No/Maybe".
As a Pentaxian thank you for including Pentax on your list. I would love to see more retro style DSLR cameras indeed. They also may release some film cameras in the future! The monochrome only was a interesting choice it would have been nice to see a Ricoh GR Monochrome as well.
At this point Pentax users are just happy to be part of the story.
Takes a Pentax fan to be thankful for just being mentioned.
I want them to do a Pentax 67iii!
@@DasKeitherz Pentax medium format is dead. Therefore, by now, pretty much all of their medium format lenses ended up on their 'discontinued lenses' list. Very unlikely, that this market testimonial will motivate them for doing anything with medium format ever again.
@@tubularificationed hope they forget FF DSLR too and focus on proper APS-C line moving to EVF in near future. Or that bussiness will die very soon like Q and 645
I was going to jump ship and move back to Canon, having used them for wedding photography in the past. The moment they announced no support for 3rd party lenses I was out of there. It cost them one sale which won't matter to them, but I wonder how many others were put off by this. I want choice, and restricting choice makes little sense.
i dumped canon because they were stale in the beginning of the mirrorless full frame era. they have improved and inovated finally but i agree if i still shot canon now i would of left them because of no third party glass
What if one day Canon decided to launch a campaign that attacks camera makers that allow third party lenses, of even third party lenses themselves?
@@GungKrisna12 Then they'd publicly disagree with a significant part of their (part ex-) user base. I doubt anyone would go "Hmm, you make a valid argument, Canon, let's invest in you after all." Or do I misunderstand your point?
First I heard of this is here, right now. Well that rules me out of an upgrade from the 5dsr to the R line.
I was set to go with Canon until I realized 1) no 3rd party support and 2) the 100-500 is extremely expensive. I can get the Sony 200-600 for less. I would go back to Nikon, but the Z8 is too expensive for me at the moment. The only sensible option is to get the Sony A7iv.
Thanks for mentioning Pentax and giving them a fair comment as many other channels prefer to treat them as a joke, respect to you sir 👍
My main complain about cameras today - no brand offers a camera with opensource firmware. Or at least a possibility to install one. In the days of Magic Lantern on Canon it was a great way to add new features and get maximum out of your camera. Especially when the manufacturer has stopped updating the firmware.
Because people install them, brick the camera or fry its components, then whine about it online and send it back to canon for repair under warranty.
You are asking a bit too much, it's not Linux OS or whatever where breaking something wont affect your hardware.
@@Adrian-wd4rn you're lying. If you install custom firmware, then your camera loses a warranty instantly.
if you can buy old $200 camera which can record raw video with custom firmware, no one will pay 10x more for ''new'' cameras, it would cut companies sales. :)
But wheres money for them in that? Your main "complaint" is highly unrealistic from any business perspective. People would just buy old used cameras and add new stuff with firmware, thus decapitate the sales of any new high end camera.
I’ve had Sony and I have Fuji now and both their mobile apps are absolutely atrocious. Was so happy to see Fuji come out with a new app recently, only to realise it requires you to give access to your location data and it’s not compatible with my x-e3 anyway lol.
The location data permission is actually an Android issue. The app connects to the camera over Wi-Fi, and Android requires location permissions in order to do that.
Hey, nice profile picture
The new app works very well.
They asked location data for geotagging
Sony is using the new Creator's app and so far it seems to work pretty well.. much better than Imaging Edge
For Fujfilm, I wish the Fujifilm lenses would have a lock on the lens aperture control, it is just too easy to accidentally change aperture. Also give the option of non click aperture control for when using video.
This. When I’m doing professional work… I’m forced to throw the aperture ring into auto and adjust with the command dials.
Yes, their cameras are focusing in hybrid use, but their lenses could use some of the same treatment. 👍
Their new lenses all have an aperture lock button. Wish granted.
Use video control feature instead of dials and ring for video
@@yes_senpai8880. I lovvvvve my XH2, LOVE it but I am not a die hard Fuji nerd. The whole aperture ring is soooo over bitched about!
I would like to add about Sony in Japan specifically. I'm a Canadian living in Japan and already the cameras here are about 13-15% more expensive than in Canada but also, the menus are ONLY in japanese with 0 way to change it.
どうしたの？
I’ve successfully changed a A7IV I bought from Japan to English, but it’s very difficult. Not impossible but definitely near impossible.
Since I don‘t live in the US I can’t confirm this, but I‘ve heard a couple of times that Nikons which ship in the US also have their menus only available in english.
I have a sony walkman from japan and it's pure pain to have a device stuck in japanese language (found out that the model I was gifted was only released on japan 😢)
But the used market is insane, ton of cheap gear in Japan
As a Sony shooter Sony needs to do much much better with their updates... to be totally honest I think it’s utterly appalling of the lackluster effort in that department!!!
The biggest problem is the lack of honest and unbiased reviews. Although there are tons of YT channels on this topic they are all compromised, and to get a real sense of a camera
you have to buy it first and then you will find out what YT channels (including this one) "forgot" to mention. There is descent amount of competition but big brands don't get punished
by the market when they create a sense throug YT guys that they are super, duper, advanced technological breakthroughs and not just a refurbishment of a previous model and so on.
For example, there is no review that talks about Fuji's overheating issue, and it's a BIG issue worst than Cannon's overheating problems.
Brands need to be called out on these things and feel losses on the market because of that, both brands in example I made.
Amen. Same with Nikon AF.
Positive side: It's unbelievable how much Nikon can put out with firmware updates on the Z 9. New and additional features for existing customers without paying anything forr the update. They have also added a few things to the Z 6 II and Z 7 II lately.
They are still slacking.. No updated APSCs, cheaper FF ( z6iii etc...). Nikon's shooting itself in the foot..
The worst thing about every camera brand is the lack of openness in the software. If we could write our own apps, or algorithms, or arbitrarily add new features, the camera companies would have to worry about their own OS features and updates a lot less. Magic lantern is the closest thing we have
Agreed, a lot of user interface quirks that are dealbreakers for fast efficient operations would be one or two lines of code to fix.
Guess you have used Nikon app !
You're absolutely on point with Sony!! I would love to see them update the their A1 firmware with more features other than just system stability updates..
I agree that Nikon need to make it clear whether or not they are committed to APS for the long term, in words but more importantly in deeds.
New coming soon.
They probably take a page out of Sony's book here and focus on full frame first since that's where the money is: professional photography, especially the top end glass. Years and years of ignoring APS-C, Sony has finally brought some excellent glass and a new body to their crop sensor lineup.
It's probably too late for Nikon, they lost so many lifers to Fujifilm now, especially the most serious APS-C shooters. Not putting IBIS in the Z50 and trying to charge what cameras WITH IBIS cost killed Nikon forever in APS-C, because not only did it make it completely undesirable but also damn insulting.
@@Vinterloftyes, but the cheapest FujiFlim camera is 2 to 3 times more expensive than Nikon Z30
@@stphotogfrank is z30 a camera? That's a wash...Nikon's tripping with that!!
I wonder how many times Chris had to redo the intro coz he started with "Welcome every to DP rev....ugh .. take two! 😂
Thats a weird one about Fuji sd card compatibility. Never knew it since i have like 6 different brand cards and they all work flawlessly.
Right. I haven't had an issue with SD cards on Fujis. I think Fuji's biggest weakness is still around autofocus. It is much improved, but still not keeping up with the competition.
I've had issues with my X-T4 with both original Sandisk and Lexar cards, and although Lexar isn't a recommended brand, they have performed just as good.
It isn't often at all, but every once in a blue moon I get a writing error message, it tends to be on the slot 1, but the slot 2 saved the file. So it's the only reason I don't bother with single sd card bodies although the X-S20 looks pretty good to work along my X-T4.
I keep saying it an X-T4 II with the new processor and firmware goodies would sell so much.
same here from the XT20, XH1, XH2 , and 50R, no problems with any memory card i've ever stuck in them
you hit the nail on the head with each one there. I sold my sony setup because it was "no longer supported" 18 months after i bought it. i would have loved to get a small nikon... but the z50 is so old. the canon cripple hammer - that ruined their range for me. for me my next camera is the fugifilm xs20 because i want something small to take with me travelling.
I’ve seen rumors of a new x100v successor coming early next year which may be worth waiting for
@@BrendanEvan I would honestly take the X-T30ii over the x100 line. It is compact and nostalgic while still having a great sensor and processor, lens swapping, and updated features. It is $400 cheaper than the X-S20 and lags in video and subject tracking, but I am a sucker for dials. I was going to go for the X-T5, but I like the compact size of the X-T30ii for carry anywhere without fear of damaging it, and will eventually get the X-T5 on black friday etc.
Patiently waiting to upgrade my Pentax K1 to a MKIII. Had a great hike yesterday with my 43mm limited and it still captures great photos.
Honestly loved this take. Sony you know what you must do.
Canon, give people third party lenses. It’s the biggest reason I don’t recommend you to beginners. Not everyone can afford or needs top tier glass.
i hope Canon won't launch a campaign to attack third party lenses (or companies that allows third party lenses) instead
Having given up a career as a photojournalist in the late 70s I went camera free for many years. When I got back into photography via the purchase of my first DSLR 14 years ago I debated whether to stay with Nikon or switch to Canon. Canon lens prices seemed exorbitant to me so I opted for Nikon. For Canon to now adopt a "no support for off label lenses" policy may be the best news Nikon has had in years. I'd hold off on any future Canon stock purchases if I were an investor.
Good program. Very informative. I was really surprised that there were no real, major flaws in any of the brands.
Hi 👋, live your videos!
If you had a choice between the LUMIX G9 , the canon M6 mark II and the Sony a6100 for photography mainly, which one would you recommend, I’m just a hobbyist that wants a good camera that can take great pictures. Thank you for your help 🙏
Yes, I love this! I think that if you really like a certain camera brand, you should point out it's flaws, not try to defend them. Only by speaking out what needs to be improved, you're going to get even better cameras in the future.
"if you really like a certain camera brand, you should point out it's flaws" That's a slight contradiction, but I understand what you are meaning.
1) A zoom lens with 3 step focal lengths - 24/28, 35 and 50 mm. A switch that can allow you to remove the lock and use in between focal lengths as well. I think leica tried one such with two focal lengths.
2) Fuji xt5 without viewfinder; makes it cheaper. Add-on (hot shoe)viewfinder in two sizes - xt5 and xh2 size
3) Sony - photographer focussed full frame. No flippy screen and 3 dials for manual control; like fuji xt5.
Panasonic needs to honestly fix / update the autofocus still.
What most TH-cam reviewers fail to mention is that if you want to shoot FHD at 50 or 60 fps then the old focus systm ( DFD ) kicks.
The alternative is to shoot in apsc mode if you need the 50 / 60 fps . Even the a7iii which is now such an old model can do better.
Being quite invested in both Nikon [full frame] and Panasonic [MFT] systems, I completely agree with the complaints about both. The next two Nikon cameras need to be the Z6III and the Z70 / Z90 [mirrorless upgrades to the D7*000 series and the D500].
The G85 was such a great mid-sized MFT camera which became a full-sized G9. While the GH6 size makes sense for what it is, having a few smaller MFT bodies, paired with some of the pancake lenses, would be great options for those who want to step up from their phone cameras with interchangeable lenses while still being extremely portable.
Canon user here. I want histogram toggle on/off function WHILE I’m recording. Jordan mentioned this many times, but it didn’t bothered me until I had to shoot a live event during sunset (rapidly changing exposure), and I couldn’t stop & start to check histogram. I now understand what Jordan was saying.
Now that Panasonic has a working autofocus, I would say they are close to making the perfect camera. I agree they could be a bit more focused on photography though. But speaking for myself, most of my work is video based (90/10), so I'm not complaining. The features/value you get is, in my opinion, the best compared to other systems.
An advantage for Panasonic is that the f1.8 primes are amazing and well priced. As are the sigma contemporary lenses. The disadvantage as a photog and not a videographer is that the S1s are too big and the S5s while a good camera have unrefined shutters (1/8000th max, clunky sound, 9fps in mech - it's just a bit budgety).
@@obscurelines 1/8000 is very common even in very high end cameras like the Sony a7RV. Just a few that go faster and they are still limited to 1/8000s shutter; only electronic shutter goes to e.g. 1/32000 on Sony A1 for example, which is a $6500 camera.
@@FrankyFeedler sure. The S5 electronic shutter tops out at 1/8000th.
@@obscurelines But that is very common in camera’s 3 times the price of the S5. So not really ‘budgety’, was my point.
@@FrankyFeedler Again agreed. But in Lumix your premium camera is the s1R (which I've sold) and it's very large and only gives DFD. I guess I wanted the S5ii to transcend the S5 a little in shutter quality and fill the gap of a newer premium camera (which may never come).
I switched to Fuji system from the Nikon DSLR system a year ago. You are absolutely correct about the menu. It is a tedious affair using and navigating settings in the menu. There seems to be no organisation and prioritisation when it comes to listing options for each sub-menu. Even the Fuji app is so bad that I have used it only once.
I have used most of the brands mentioned here at one time or another, and one issue they all have in common, depending on what you are doing is too many submenus. You mentioned it briefly here on Fuji. A feature is no good to me if it takes me 10 minutes to find and set it. Of course I get used to one camera eventually and can operate more quickly, but that can be a long time in coming. As a result, I tend to like some of the now out of date cameras that had mostly dial in features, using drop down menus only for long term settings.
As a Pentax shooter, I'm not sure that other Pentaxians are clamoring for new glass. The benefit of the k-mount is that there is a 50 year catalog of lenses that can be used natively. Pentax does need to work on a K1iii, though. The K1 is still an awesome DSLR, but it could use some serious upgrades like a new sensor, updated software and AF.
Pentax are so well-positioned to bring out a cool retro camera in the vein of the Nikon Zfc, especially as they've got that great catalog of lenses. A retro DSLR in the 2020s would be pretty unique and would have a lot of fans - mirrorless cameras are fun but there's definitely still a place for optical viewfinders. It does kinda feel like Pentax have been making progressively uglier cameras for a while and it'd be nice to see them reverse that trend.
Well, I absolutely agree as a whole on all the issues you raised. 3 in particular stood out Nikon, OM, and Pentax and for exactly the issue you raised. As never really feeling the need for a Full Frame as anything I'd shoot and consider printing or enlarging is, IMO, fine with as little as 20 Maga Pixels though true more is better I don't think I personally would need more than 26 Mega Pixels. And while I said I agree with 99% of your comments one I personally find or have is dedicated non video cameras. I think we are at a point where they, any and all, could make reasonably priced offerings of non hybrids at a less expensive cost and sell a S*** ton of them. I have nor will I ever have a want or need for a hybrid, but I'm saddled with having to deal with them. Yes, I get their place I just think there are many like me who feel burdened and used to have to pay for something we neither want nor asked for. I'd like and love a Z73 with no video and APSC versus Full Frame they could rebadge it or call it a Z5. I'd love in fact I do love the Leica Q3 and might...buy one, but I liked Leica's lol failure or approach by lastly getting serious about Video. OM is capable and I'd say easily the one maker who could back into older Oly designs with an easy refresh in a new way. And the same I think would apply with Pentax. So nice of you to get it off your chest. Oh, and I've never liked Canon and their ignoring Great 3rd Party options in lenes just reinforces my belief in their continued arrogance. But one thing I think you left out or I missed is software based ND filtering would be too sweet.
Someone else mentioned the apps. I love having Fuji with my GPS cords but no matter what setting, it drops the phone link every 20-30 minutes making me play with my phone again. Wish they could fix that. Also agree the menus are a pain though it was nice in the XT5?that the custom modes included a lot more of your settings.
i recently upgraded (after a TON of research in all manufacturers) from APSC Nikon and landed on the DC-S52x. i could not be happier with my decision and despite your "not photo centric" comments, i am blown away each time i click the shutter. i did use the sony a7iv borrowed from my friend for 3 months~ and it is an amazing amazing camera too but i like the pixelshift and especially the live view compostie that the DCS52x offers which sony doesn't and i use both suprisingly often. i hope i don't regret these words but i think i will be using this camera for many years to come and will slowly start building up my lens arsenal around this system.
Nice. Some people say that the S5 II X dials are hard to read in the shade/dark. Did you find that as well? Can you rely on muscle memory or the screen as a workaround?
My Panasonic GX85 is amazing, kind of a shame there's so few good cheep options today.
Definitely need some updated photo-hybrid bodies from Panasonic - 🤞for a G9 Mk II announcement next week
A fully manual slr with various focusing screens with interchangeable (full frame, apsc, monochrome) digital backs and no lcd screen would be nice. Maybe Pentax?
Talking about Nikon Z DX , it's a pity that Nikon does not include the Gyro data of the Gyro sensor inside the video files to provide some amazing possibilities of post stabilization . Even more so considering that all the DX line doesn't have IBIS .
As an example the Sony ZV-E10 is a market hit because of that versus the Z30 ...
Im glad I watched this. I was looking into going to cannon but not supporting 3rd party lenses is a no go for me
It's bizarre. I've always assumed that camera manufacturers saw third party lenses as giving a boost to their camera system which outweighed any minor loss in lens sales. After all other manufacturers almost never compete directly with the camera companies in terms of both spec and price.
Great points for the cameras mentioned, one camera brand I am interested in but it was missed: *Blackmagic Design* - would love to see you review them
That's def not a photography camera, it's video only and a Cinema camera.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 Not that there's anything wrong with that!
@@coolterestThere are probably other TH-camrs who do those comparisons. Not every TH-camrs has to do the same thing.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 What are you saying ? Please read the tittle, and BMPCC make great stills
Prepare to go over the cabin limit for batteries when travelling, and the BMPCC doesn't fit in a P.
I'm about to upgrade to a Fuji XT5 soon hopefully since I'm in the Fuji systems now, but I still have my Panny Lumix GX1 which is what broke me out of my photography shell. I still have my micro 4/3 lenses for it and would love to see a new version of the GX line.
A digital TLR would be amazing! I was hoping the Pentax announcements in the last few months would announce new K mount SLRs, rather than the compact they’ve opted for (I get why though!), but a digital K1000 style DSLR could be an awesome move as well!
With Canon, the lack of 3rd party lens support and the price of the 100-500mm against something like the Sony 200-600mm is a big turnoff. I was actually really excited to move over from Fujifilm to Canon, but my budget wouldn’t allow all the lenses I want. So now I’m going to be shooting Sony in the near future.
As a Fujifilm user, my main gripe is that you can't shoot unstylised. There's no way to turn off Film Simulations entirely if you just need a natural look with no hue shifts. Even their standard mode has a dash of pizzazz added that sometime doesn't play nice with a scene or subject.
This coupled with the limited jpeg editing options means I'm often stuck in the extremes of contrast and colour for photo & video because you can never turn the contrast or saturation up or down enough in some profiles.
If they could add a Preset % option to tone down the look overall that would be great. Tweaking Highlights Shadow and Colour by a few points just isn't enough to handle their sometimes radical looks in situations.
Minimum add a Tone function like Canon and Ricoh have where you can amber-magenta shift skin hues. Fujifilm skin hues are all over the place. Orange in Astia, Yellow in Velvia and Pro Neg H, Salmon in Provia, Brick Red in Classic Chrome, Plum in Pro Neg S. They all require heavy WB shifts to compensate, giving green skies or an overall warmed up muddy green look.
They also need to stop lying about ISO by 2/3 of a stop. And make more of their super popular compact poor man's Leicas again. We have too many full frame sized options out right now for an aps-c sensor. Give us a Canon M200 size camera like the old X-M1. 😂
My Ricoh GRIII needs a flip up screen, and less sketchy SD Card write processes. Flip up for low angle shooting, quickly activated with one hand - no transformer rubiks cube flippy swivel nonsense that double the footprint, and makes you miss shots while you wrestle it. Just simple up and over for vacation selfies and low angle pets and kid shots without getting in the dirt.
Eterna is their non-stylized edit-ready simulation which i always use. Even though Fuji themselves say their standart one is Provia which is too heavily edited anyway.
Pro Neg Standard is what you're looking for. Or Eterna which is even lower contrast; not my favorite but the only other neutral option. Or just shoot raw.
@@adomolis Eterna is very stylised, too. It's a nice look, but not a clean natural look at all.
@@yokken Pro Neg S has incorrect cyans, and very red skin hues, it's still very stylised, just a subdued muted look instead of a punchy positive film look. If you crank up the colours even a little you'll see that it's off in many of the hues. I tried to use it for product photography and it just couldn't handle capturing true to life colour on various products in correctly balanced lighting with a card used for custom white balance. It's just the stylization.
They literally don't have a clean in camera look at all, I have tried them all extensively over the ~7 years I've been a Fujifilm shooter. Raw is an option, but not in video, also I bought into Fujifilm to avoid the raw work flow. I don't like editing, so a film simulation is nice, but we do need a true clean neutral setting with no stylization.
Nice video! I was wondering what's your take on Hasselblad?
Great video, guys! Very informative.
As a Canon user I can only agree. I'm not spending money on an RF-mount camera before they open the mount to third-party manufacturers.
Once I make the jump to RF, the only RF lens I'm buying is the 28-70mm F/2...I'll adapt the rest. Those RF lenses are PRICEY. 😩
I think Canon is feeling the drop in sales, because I see RF lenses going on sale a lot these days.
I am disappointed that Canon have only a small range of lenses in RF mount and then have blocked third party lenses with AF. What were they thinking. Nice bodies, but shame about the lenses.
I full agree what you say about MFT. I wish Pan would release a new GX Camera or OM a real successor of the E-M5. BTW: a small and affordable f2.8 ultra wideangle zoom lens for Fuji X would be nice also!
Man you're asking a lot. f2.8 ultrawide zoom on APS-C is already a huge challenge to design (which they have the 8-16 f2.8), and you want them to make it small AND affordable? You're definitely living in your dreams.
@@michaelmao6180 An APS-C equivalent to the MFT Olympus 12-40 f2.8. please! (okay, I would prefer a 12-40 f2.8 in APS-C 😂)
@@arminleitner1097 You do understand 12-40 f2.8 in MFT is roughly equivalent to 24-80 f5.6 in full frame in terms of field of view and depth of field, right? Sigma already makes a 18-50 f2.8 which is equivalent to 27-75 f4 in full frame, Tamron makes a 17-70 f2.8 which is equivalent to 25.5-105 f4 in full frame, and Fuji already have 16-80 f4 and 18-55 f2.8-f4 kit lenses and the 16-55 f2.8. These are all good options, and there's an abundance of lenses in this range. If you want to be super light and inexpensive, the 18-55 kit lens and the 18-50 Sigma lens are great. If you want more reach, then the Tamron 17-70 and the Fuji 16-80 are also excellent, and if you really need the image quality, then the Fuji 16-55 is there. Not sure what you're complaining about.
@petapixil new to photography and video Whats a good entry level and mid range to start these hobbies ? Opjnions on A6000 or A6700?
Well what do you want to shoot?
It would be nice to see Fuji get back into making small cameras. The older ones you can’t even buy used for a good price anymore. The magic is in the sensor and the film simulation, so having a nice little pocketable camera with basic settings and film simulation would be great.
Small like X-E series? X-E4 is actually smaller than the X-E1. Albeit ~15g heavier. X100 is still small and pocketable.
They are making small cameras
I am anxiously awaiting a new Lumix Micro Four Thirds camera with killer video features and phase-detect autofocus. I prefer the larger Micro Four Thirds bodies because the ergonomics are better. The smaller lenses are the real benefit.
I just want a major firmware update for the OM1, not the little updates we've had so far.
The camera is pretty feature packed already, but they can still streamline the AF system and some new computational feature would be nice. This is also important because Olympus/OM System is not Sony: they don't release a flagship camera every year. So it could be a while before a successor to the OM1 is released. A nice major firmware update can really transform a camera. I was really impressed with what they did with the EM1 mark I and II in this respect.
I'm not sure if I agree, the OM-1 is pretty feature complete but needs some more polish in the firmware, which is mostly what they're doing.
I wonder what OM-S can do to refresh the appeal of m43, and it's the entry lenses that need more work. They can put all the technology into new bodies, but when a lot of the core lenses are over a decade old it's value but not excitement. I'd run a couple updates of the entry m43 lenses at not crazy prices. Stuff like updating the 17mm 1.8 but without getting into the hard to justify prices of the 40mm 1.4 Pro. Hopefully we see that happen with their Sigma partnership, who is putting out really great lenses.
The E-M1 II still looks like a monster to this day honestly, probably a top value in photo gear given how little growth there has been in the system since and just how well it's been holding up.
I'm seriously tempted to get one as a middle cam between my Z6 & E-M5 II.
As a bird photographer I sometimes need to extensively crop using my OM-1 even with a 300 mm prime and 1.4x teleconverter. With the 20 megapixel sensor this is a real challenge. I know they think 20 megapixels is the sweet spot for M43 but a 28 or 32 megapixel sensor would really help. I know it is technically possible because Panasonics newest sensor is 24 megapixels. That’s really the only disappointment in this otherwise remarkable camera.
MFT’s Archilles heel has always been noise at high ISO. Now all edit software have excellent AI based noise reduction so this issue is going away. The compact size is a strength of MFT & I do wish OM would refresh all their lens lineup with dust/water proof capability to match their OM camera bodies so you can use them at any time regardless of the weather. Their Premium lenses are much smaller physically than their PRO lenses and size/weight is becoming increasingly important with size and weight restrictions for carry on hand luggage on flights or any trekking.
@@stevenmeisel4288
I use the 300 Pro all the time. If I have to crop an image I always run it through Topaz DeNoiseAI, it really cleans up the introduced noise.
Fuji owner here! So I love my x-t30, size suits my hands and it has enough features to continue to grow. I enjoy photography with it. …
So one question is, are they done with the x-t##?
But my bigger question addresses the refrain online that “fuji’s autofocus is middling at best.” Do you think that it is where it needs to be for the aps-c x-mount? If I bought an x-t5 or a future x-t”40”, would I even notice any improvements with my legacy 1.4 lenses -the 16 and 35?
Across the board, I think they really need to improve stabilization in video, I don't think IBIS alone is the solution (warpy corner etc). I don't mind if they need to crop more for better electronic stabilization, that's how they achieve rock solid stab with the GoPro/iPhone. There's plenty of room to crop with those big high resolution sensor.
I think the G9ii just did that
I totally agree with all of what you said about Sony, I feel like they have no loyalty to the people who buy their cameras and if it wasn't for the fact that I am invested in their system I would swap over due to their lack of support with firmware upgrades!
Sony is not a camera company but a consumer electronic company..The last I knew of sony before photography was all electronics from Playstation to TV, Headphones, phones, the list goes on.. I am pretty sure they will be out soon with electric cars. It will be so presumptuous to expect loyalty from such a company..
Thank you for saying it out loud: Fuji menus are a hot mess. And you even haven’t explored other languages, the menu items in italian are incomprehensible, I keep checking the manual even after 2 years of using the camera. Also that funny thing of menu group changing when pressing the down key, so you end up with a menu that seemingly has 500 items where you cannot reach the end of the menu by back scrolling it, or the selected confirmation by pressing the back key. Why Fuji, why? The camera is otherwise fantastic, but the menus…
haha the scrolling drives me crazy too. And yeah the wording on things in the menu is so bad, and half the time the manual is barely any more informative. I've just switched over from canon and it feels like it's literally going to be years before i have the menu figured out :|
That’s the problem with 24 year old engineers just out of University. Great features developed with input from marketing, but they don’t have 60 year old user interface people in their development team. Same problem as the user interface on TV remotes with setup menus interspersed with basic operation. NAFI
I like these short videos but I actually like your guys' podcasts better and I'm not a podcast kind of guy. Keep it up guys! Hopefully Sony starts updating their old cameras, specially the a7sIII. Should have every update as the FX3
I think if you had a Leica, you could really think of a lot of things that could be improved. The fact that many cameras have software problems every time they are launched would be at the top of my list.
Only reason I don't own a M11 is fear of unreliability.
@@DominicAJ As an M11 owner I can say it's unreliable AF. I have a video on a significant firmware update bug. I send it to Wetzlar on Monday because it freezes all the time.
One of the many reasons I don’t own an M11 is that I don’t have a newborn to trade, nor do I want to sell any of my kidneys.
If I wanted a digital Leica, I'd buy a Fujifilm.
As a leica M6 owner....I'm chillin...Digital has made people too damn whiny.
I agree with everything and I would add:
Sony - put better LCD panels on your pro cameras.
Fuji - sort out your production issues. How can be that some models are not in stock for months and others are already out of production in 3 years.
Canon - release the 35mm 1.2 already.
I think the reasoning behind the low res LCDs is that higher resolution takes more battery to run, while the resolution advantage would be negated by reflections and the fact you could just use the EVF
@@needles_balloon Just compare them to Canon and Nikon's LCD screens. Those are WAY better. Having a great LCD with vibrant colors makes the shooting experience more rewarding. Specially when you show the pictures to clients. II would happily pay extra for a better LCD screen.
About Panasonic. They should issue a new GX8 mark2. For those who have one, love it! Also you showed an old GM5, love that one even more!
Also true. They did GX85, which I have, but while it's a good camera it's bigger and surprisingly heavy (... i think they added ballast). And the GX9 is better sensor, but also big.
Many Canon R-series cameras have severe problems like the R5 und R6 models. Users complain those cameras have freezing / lock-up issues, the hot shoe on the camera comes loose or falls off or the cameras are overheating with video recording. Quality control at Canon goes down. Just look at the customer reviews at B&H photo.
I dream a Fuji with XT dials but full frame.
If Sony updates the Menu of their legacy alpha cameras, that would be awesome, even if is a pay upgrade. I have newer cameras, but for vacations and riskier situations I like to used older cameras. I Dont know care about features, just want a consistent work flow and look.
Very nice debate the one on this chapter. As a Nikon user, I would like some mirrorless improvements in firmware as eye detection in Nikon D850. If technologycally possible. I use 3D tracking and configure it for subjects, and are very good on my D850, but just to say. And maybe in general prices are getting too high (comparing my Nikon D850 base price to the Z8, which I believe is its replacement in mirrorless).
As an amateur I totally agree on the steep pricing! I upgraded from D810 to Z8, and just kept my favourite G- and E-lenses, which works fantastic on mirrorless. It felt like entering a whole new world of photography. My only upgrade for the Z-system was the cheap fully manual TT Artisan 50/1.4, which IMO has a surprisingly beautiful rendering and sharpness wide open, beating the old D- and G-generations from Nikon in this range by a mile. I'll wait for the second hand S-line marked. I'm very pleased with the glass I have at the moment.
- Sony: Slow on firmware updates for older cameras, neglecting support for new features on older models.
- Nikon: Focusing on expensive cameras, neglecting APS-C and entry-level offerings, lacks some modern features like 3D tracking.
- Canon: Minor issues with grammatical errors in menus, lacking features like level or histogram display during 8K video recording, not supporting third-party lenses.
- Leica: Limited production leading to long waiting times, expensive, SL lineup lacks uniqueness compared to other cameras.
- Ricoh Pentax: Ricoh's GR series is appreciated, but Pentax needs to modernize DSLRs and offer more affordable but unique retro SLRs, plus more exciting SLR lenses.
- Panasonic: Excellent in video, but they need to show more love to the photography market, especially in smaller formats like GF and GM series.
- OM System (previously Olympus): Need to avoid re-badging old Olympus cameras and focus on novel cameras with new technology, menu systems, and subject detection modes.
- Fujifilm: Good progress in sensors, autofocus, and video, but the menu system needs an overhaul for better usability, and memory card compatibility issues need to be addressed.
"Non-volatile " memory. As a Z8 shooter (I also love my Zfc!), I find this camera to be amazing. It would be awesome if you could store a baseline for multiple shooting modes that doesn't change from the initial setup while in use (but you could change it whenever you intentionally want to change it by resetting that particular baseline) and you can get back to that baseline setup whenever you wanted. A "landscape" set-up, a "astronomy" setup, a "portrait" setup, a "airplane" setup, a "racecar" setup. A camera as capable as the Z8 can actually be (say) 10 cameras in one and by going back to each baseline setup, you can shoot your preferred "racecar" camera and it's all in one body.
The Fujifilm presets can basically do what you are describing, but not in the "dummy" modes like portrait mode. It would work in manual, aperture priority, and shutter priority modes. Most fujifilm users use the presets for custom film simulation jpegs but the presets can control many other settings like autofocus type and sensitivity. Way too many settings to name here.
Fujifilm don't leave your root of small light compact lenses. Maybe refresh 18f2 or 35 1.4 to WR. Those really need a refresh.
Isn't the 33mm a 1.4?
As a 18 year user exclusively of Canon and previously having (film) roots in Pentax, Leica, Nikon and a couple others, I was shocked that you could not come up with worse faults than bad grammar for Canon. Certainly the 'dog in the manger' attitude concerning third party lenses would be the 'elephant in the room' were it not for the fact that they have begun making some decent lenses in some (but not all!!!) areas including budget items like the RF100-400 for those of us who can on afford the top line. Canon has many faults I would like to see corrected but I would be happy if the poor English grammar were corrected by switching the offending letters into Japanese and giving me insect eye tracking and focus aids that don't work perfectly now with manual lenses. Being able to choose to shoot more than one image when magnified view is on would be nice as would be even more color/intensity controls on the focus peaking. Offer Focus guide that allows user setting of focal length with contactless lenses. Even a Focus guide that is not a severe drain on the batteries is another area for attention I rank above the missing D's. Still, #1 is the one you mentioned about locking out third parties. Companies that cooperate with all levels of users (even the poor and potential) develop more long term addicts. I chose Canon over Nikon before Sony made digital cameras. You video pointed out that changing would be just trading one problem or another. Good video.
Another great video
A suggestion, Chris' voice sounds nasal I don't know if it's the post processing or the DJI mic or if he has a nose block 😅
Canon owner here: if the only complaint is some info not showing on the screen and not open to 3rd party options for the r mount (which has since changed) means to me that canon is a pretty sound system, I love my ef Tamron lens (adapted to r mount) and can't wait for updated lens for the r mount!
I’d like to see Fuji step up to the video camera market and use the foundation of the XH2s to do it. It’s sooooo close to a perfect video camera, it’s just stuck inside a hybrid design.
If they repackaged it in a cinema camera body with internal ND’s, I think they’d have something thing that could easily compete with the c70, c300 iii, fx3/6, and Komodo. Fuji already has amazing cinema lenses, let’s pair them with something besides a hybrid Fuji camera and unchain them from the expectations of their vintage-styled photo cameras.
And if they managed to include their film simulations in a cinema camera? Wow. That would be incredible. I would preorder that Fuji cinema camera. And I rarely consider preordering a camera. I’m ready for more options than Sony/Canon/Red.
Yep, the community has been telling them for years that a true cinema camera would be like selling hot cakes, they can make it retro looking if they want as long as the main features needed come along. I really wouldn't mind having a dedicated cinema camera aside from my photography one if the real world features are there.
Think about it Fujifilm makes their own cine lenses for generations, and yet no camera of their own.
Or do so with the GFX100s, and use the 12K sensor for something unique. The tech which Sony uses to automatically reframe digitally and track a subject... For 4K video, that sensor has 9x the required real estate so it can be done basically without quality loss. And it could create very clean oversampled 8K... with basically unmatched dynamic range at this price point. This would allow reframing in post with quality, maybe unique for documentaries and interviews.
@@Edwin-- A medium format cinema camera would be pretty wild. But the rolling shutter on the 100s for video is really bad. I’d rather them use the faster readouts they’ve been able to achieve on their s35 sensors with the XH2s. Or maybe even the 40mp sensor on the H2; but then we’re back to terrible rolling shutter.
@@williamaungleyraud I agree. I think they’d see a lot less people jumping away from their hybrid/photo cameras to the competition if they were able to offer something to step up to. Their hybrid cameras have pretty much caught up to the competition, they just need to keep going.
As of now, if you need something more video focused in design and build, you either have to invest in two different ecosystems, or move away from Fuji entirely.
@@TheJ_G I agree with you, I just tried to fantasize about a dream option 😄. Though for locked off shots, the video out of GFX100(s) is surprisingly good. Philip Bloom made his documentary Charmolipi (available here on TH-cam) with the GFX100 and GF 45 and 110mm lenses. Personally I use the Sony A7S3 and FX30 for video, which are fairly close to the XH2s' capabilities (also a beautiful camera).
Really it's software at this point, I don't think the hardware has that much to improve (unless your doing high end video). I would like to see things like AI based auto-tagging in camera, better support to rate photos in the camera and have that stored when in your editing software, and just a better integration into eco-systems like Apple and Android do with their mobile phones.
I would love an updated LX100ii, it's still a compact like no others. If they could update the lens to cover the whole sensor area and update to USB-C, I'm sold.
LX100iii with usb-c, Realtime LUT, weathersealing, faster processor for uncropped video, IBIS, maybe that stacked phase detect sensor? Yes please.
I never understood why the square aspect ratio is just a crop of 4:3 when a taller square would fit into the image circle. That and the motor zoom lens always put me off, otherwise a very interesting concept and felt great in the hand when I had the chance to try it!
What about the Pentax monochrome dslr???
And red somewhere that there will be 3th party lenses but not directly for the Canon R series.
Worst thing about Sony. They dont include battery chargers with their $3000+ cameras. Like thats worse then how Canon doesn't include a hood with their non-L RF lenses. EDIT: Apparently Sony does include the charger for A7RV so maybe they stopped being so cheap?

Great points. I agree that it’s time for Fujifilm to update their menu system. Also, they need touch tracking.
I like all mirrorless cameras. It’s mind blowing how much they’ve advanced in just the past five years.
Touch tracking would be very handy. 😎 👍
A full-frame version of their sensor would be nice. And rubber that stays on the bodies.
I appreciate you opening the video with Sony’s bizarre decision to ignore its flagship and other high-end cameras, but more importantly their best customers. Where’s my A1 update, Sony? Your competitors keep adding features to their high end products, meanwhile you have the most expensive consumer camera on the market and its falling behind your low and midrange offerings in some respects. If you think I’m going to buy a replacement camera just to get things like breathing compensation you’re sorely mistaken. I’ve never seen a company treat its top spending customers like this, while the competition is continually gaining ground. I bet it feels nice to be a Nikon Z9 owner, I bet they feel well taken care of. Show us the same courtesy, Sony.
I have that 18-35 f/1.8 on pentax fdslkjh
I used to haul that around on my first gen K-3
unnecessarily heavy setup but I liked the look... x-t4 + rokinon 21mm f/1.4 replaced it for me. Equally smooth and sharp.
I can guess the Canon one without watching!
Yup we all know canon should get rid of those worms their cameras are infested with.
I don’t understand why they insist on putting those in there.

I'm currently using a fujifilm X-T4 and have a decent selection of lenses now, but I'm thinking I might look at one of the lumix/leica point and shoot cameras for something smaller and easier to carry
are you uk based? If you want to sell any of your lenses hmu, im looking for a fairly priced 16mm or 70-300mm
I would definitely open my wallet for an OM-1 Monochrome, go the route Pentax did. It would help keep an interest in the format and the brand, and probably give a nice boost to the M4/3 IQ
Really waiting for Nikon to release a full-frame camera with a fully flippy screen. An S5II competitor would be right up my street and I'd preorder it immediately.
Also yes: retro cameras from Pentax would be a hit!
Also also: yes the Fujifilm memory card issues are a pain. You can't even trust their official compatibility list, as I had a colossal failure on an X-H2S with an officially supported card 🤷
The video capabilities in the newest Nikon processor are maybe the best. It would be great a smaller camera, like a Z6, with flippy screen, same processor as Z8 / Z9, and cheaper less megapixels sensor
Why do you want a flip out side hinged screen?
@@chloescanlon1107 why not? It gives more flexibility, more so if you are a single man band, without crew and need to film yourself. Maybe a podcast or conference, talking head TH-cam video, vlog, etc.
@@chloescanlon1107 I could really use a second camera body that works as both a photo and video camera! I have a Z9 for wildlife etc but that's obviously huge for, say, vlogging, and it doesn't have a flippy screen anyway 😅
The Z6II and Z5 are nice cameras but just adding a flippy screen to them would make them immediately more useful for me. I'm actually really surprised Nikon kept the Z9 screen design for the Z8 - they should have copied the mechanism from the Sony A7RV. A Z6III with some of the updates from the Z9/8 + a flippy screen would compete really nicely against the Sony/Panasonic offerings.
I have very high hopes for Z6iii. I'm hoping for a Sony a7iv in a Nikon body pretty much. And I'm a Canon shooter 😂
One issue I'm seeing today is the lack of discussion on OLPFs, which new cameras have them or not, and the resultant moire from not having them
Omg the canon AF ‘enable’ is my pet peeve!!! I was fighting with this misunderstanding just a few days ago!
The lack of lenses is a serious issue …..
I have a Canon 70D that I upgraded to from a 350D c.2005, and one of the things that I thought was great about most of the camera companies around when I bought my first DSLR was that it was great to have those 3rd party lens options, and that opinion only strengthened when Sigma and Tamron started improving. The thing that prevents me from moving to the RF system is the artificial lack of choice in lenses, because if I want NATIVE lenses and not adapted DSLR glass, I might as well just comparison shop again and see what is best for me in 2023 like I did in 2005. I've honestly been eyeing the Fuji X-Tx cameras for a long time and now that they are opening the X mount, I'm thinking about it even more.
I'm went from a Fuji Finepix S9500 to a Canon EOS 500D, to a Canon EOS 80D, and now a Sony A7 IV based on many reviews I watched comparing with Canon R5/R6/R6 II and Nikon Z7/Z9. No regrets, the Sony A7 IV is a spectacular camera. Personally I would never trust Fuji again after my camera stopped taking photos on a trip due to a focus error.
I used to shoot Canon. No more because of their refusal to open up the lens mount.
Sony I can't love though cracking tech. Fuji, very nice. Lots of bang for buck.
Fuji are in a bit of a sweet spot a the moment. Rent an X-T5, X-H2 or X-S20 and a couple of decent lenses to suit what you shoot.
You might surprise yourself.
As a FF Hybrid shooter, am excited about Panasonic, I like their philosophy and colors compared to Sony, with Samyang joining the L-mount alliance I hope they have some more cameras coming out sooner than later. Sony still has the advantage with the amount of lenses but ecosystem is a mess new camera every few months? The mess is clearly visible in terms of firmware updates. The thought process behind the blacked out design of s5m2x is a clear potshot at Sony, focus on creation and not the camera.
This are marketing tactics. U dont release 1 super camera with 100 updates , u release 1 camera with 1 updates.
Interesting words about the Fujifilm "memory card" issues as I wasn't aware of them... 🧐
What I would like Fujifilm to do, is release a new GFX body with a 50MP sensor that has much better autofocus. The GFX 50S II was such a disappointment in that regard.
In fairness, they are limited by the sensors on the market right now, but hopefully sooner rather than later
I agree, the GFX100(s) is quite a bit better in that regard
Getting back into photography after a long gap. I bought a used Canon APSC and also a used RP (super pricing). Nice to know some old glass will be going into the future, but I am very uncomfortable really buying into the R range without third-party lenses to keep things shaken. A while before I make my mind up, but it's currently a huge MINUS for staying Canon as it stands. I did buy the nifty 50 RF and for my non-pro use simply flicking crop mode to turn it into a good enough near-portrait lens is nice, but they have immediately missed out on several purchases whilst I feel forced to look at things more.
Fujifilm should offer new Filmsimulations to their legacy cameras. I cannot believe that a new Filmsimulation is hindered by processing power. Gating that behind a big paywall is harsh imo.
I have a Pentax DLSR film camera with a Sigma lenses. it's in excellent condition and and functions perfectly. I stumbled across it and paid practically nothing for it. when the switch to digital cameras happened. I figured it would be a good camera to learn and practice with before I Purchased a digital camera. that was a while ago and I still have it. Pentax and and Minolta were high quality cameras back in the day's of film cameras. it would really cool to see them make a camera today with that feel and quality in a digital version. but I'm afraid the camera body would be too small to have a decent LED screen.
