I was surprised... with almost every picture (purposefully not looking at which camera) I chose the Nikon color science. This really surprised me on the B/W as I love Acros. I'm loving my Z6ii! Would love to see an AF comparison between the Z and X.
Keep these videos coming Omar they offer a good perspective on how photographers need to think both amateur and pro ....much appreciated..love your work.! Cheers Anthony
Great and entertaining video as always Omar :) and since there seems to be a consensus on Nikon's colours and how fantastic JPEGs it produces, I highly recommend the Nikon Z50 with the kit lens for all your viewers thinking about adding a Fuji to their kit, just for travel and/or for smaller lenses. I've owned the Z50 for a little over a year now, and I enjoy using it. I take it with me everywhere, and the 16-50mm kit lens is super sharp and super compact (a pancake when closed). Even though there's a big difference in resolution between both cameras, I caught myself using the Z50 more than my D850 in the past year! That says a lot about how enjoyable it is to use this camera. And if you want to go for Fuji just for the retro look and tactile controls, well Nikon is going to announce its retro-styled Z fc APS-C body any moment now. So really, everything that you might want, Nikon has it now.
Thank you for doing this comparison! I have been a Nikon dslr shooter for years. I want to do the mirrorless jump but have been tied up in knots between staying in Nikon so I can use my current flashes and maybe a couple of my lenses with the converter, or jump to Fujifilm . Staying Nikon would also finally move me up to full frame, but the Fuji looks so much easier to carry around. This really helped.
Very well done and entertaining! I am really surprised the small Fuji 2/35 holds up its own so well against the Nikon 1.8/50 mm Z which is not only a newer but also a much more complex and in turn expensive design and does not have to rely on in-camera optimization as the Fuji does. So I also do not think the difference in resolution is due to sensor-size but the lenses themself may be the biggest factor in the equation where the Fuji is optimized for size and the Nikon for performance.
Oh, how fun! I shot a family gathering with Fuji and a wedding with Nikon Z this weekend. Both were gorgeous. I would like to see skin tones -- and I mean a variety of skin tones, compared on the two. Perhaps zeroing out noise reduction on both to the degree it is possible.
But seriously. I really do think that the T4 and the Z6 are on a smart path with their ability to switch between video and photography. With my Olympus M1 Mark II. If you want to photography manual and video manual. You're stuck with your settings. Fuji and Nikon are onto something with their ability to save photography settings separate from video settings. Even though Fuji needs to save more information with their custom settings.
@@Smoothblue90 having separate settings for video and photography was one thing I really liked with the XT4. Granted I do own a Z6, but at the time of getting my XT4, I really didn’t shoot much video.
@@danielschmaderer I'm actually looking forward to what the Fuji H2 will be like. I really like the size of Fuji lenses. And a body with a proper grip and proper shutter position with a new sensor and better video autofocus could be outstanding.
I started shooting Nikon, but I have been a fujifilm shooter for about two years now. I honestly felt like the colors were similar. It's nice to see someone else get similar results.
@@jason4555 The colors out of camera are not as good, also editing in Lightroom is easier with Nikon. I also felt the colors on the EVF and LCD (A7R3) were pretty muted, and didn't give me a good impression of what the photo would look like.
@@jason4555 Sony needs a lot of post processing. It's not a bad system but really you shoot raw in Sony and edit. The Sony jpegs suck. And before you diss jpegs remember not everyone wants to sit at a computer monitor massaging an image when you could be out having fun with the camera. Fuji's have the best jpegs IMO and then of course you have all those film simulations to choose from.
Thanks for this comparison…it supports my feeling over time that the colors between Nikon and Fuji are not dramatically different. That One reason would not be the reason to go with one over the other. Well done.
It surely is a great time to have photography as a hobby. I mean really it is hard to buy a bad camera with all of the major brands. Yes there are differences in output but they really all look great. One of the things I love about Fuji is the ability to get a big variety of looks out of the camera jpegs. It is scary good to the point that I seldom even use the raw files anymore.
I love the humorous style of your presentations, keep it up! For a really fair comparison perhaps you shoudn't compare fullframe 50mm/1.8 vs. APS-C 35mm/2.0. Probably the look of the images would become even more alike if you would take the Fujinon XF 33mm F1.4 R LM WR, which will give you more background separation. Anyway, well done, and very interesting for me as a Nikon Z full frame shooter. The differences are smaller than I thought they were. And especially in the tele-range APS-C could be tempting for me.
For this kind of comparison, I just look at the tonal variation from the original or print and it works with another channel's 12 vs. 102 MP challenge from prints or Instagram. For example, the transition with Nikon is gradual, like Zone 4, 5 & 6 while Fuji is 4 & 6. Also, you highlighted something seems to be overlooked by photographers using fast aperture. While a fast lens can eliminate background distractions lazily, but attention to details will make us notice that it is replaced by a new out of focus distraction. Hence blobs of colors that appeared on the out of focus background still need to be composed nicely with good visual design and arrange the colors based on color theory. Think of Saul Leiter composition and colors. 🙂
I know this is now a 2 year old video, but thanks (belatedly) for doing it. My general frustration with the digital photography world is all manufacturers inability to make small full frame cameras WITH SMALL LENSES. There was no problem making small cameras and lenses during the film world (eg., Nikon FM or FE plus old series 50 mm f/1.8). Look at the Z6 and that huge 50 mm f/1.8. Seriously, it totally guts the whole selling point of "going mirrorless."
Don’t forget that is a no holds barred, exceptional quality lens. I wouldn’t be too surprised if a smaller one followed (the DSLR 50mm 1.8G is pretty small and light by comparison).
Nikon has no proper planning in designing lens. Now, they have the pancake 40mm. They should have released this during DSLRs era, even Canon had one back then.
Hello Brother Omar which one is better for photo & video shooting on human subject like wedding videography & wedding photography between Nikon Z 7ii and Fuji Film XT4 ? thanks 🙏
Thanks for this Omar! I have been shooting both Nikon full frame and Fuji for quite a while now. It’s good to see the strengths of both systems.. I actually purchased the Nikon (D600) first and quickly realised that I would need an smaller form factor system to complement the candid portrait doco style that is a lot
Hi Omar. I gave up on trying to get nice colors from my A7III (as you can get) so I sold it. The Fujifilm X-T4 or a Nikon (can't decide between Z5 and Z6II) are my main options to replace it. I'd love if could compare one of your fujis vs the Z6II, especially skin tones in SOOC images and using AWB. Thanks for you videos!
Love your videos Omar. I switched from a Nikon D750 to Fuji 4 years ago and am not convinced it was a great move. I'm not gonna lie, I instantly preferred the Nikon images in this comparison and has helped me in the decision to switch back to Nikon. Now the dilemma Z6ii or Z7ii!
I felt the same. Not sure if fujifilm had a lot of hype of not but I didn't feel the images were superior to my d750. But I think fuji's convenience is the size, character of photos from film simulation (simplicity mindset, no editing required for some) and just how beautiful the cameras are which is more psychologically appealing which feels more inspiring and fun to always use. I think the best combo is fuji as everyday compact camera and nikon for more serious work in my opinion. Although you can easily do vise versa. I use a Nikon Z5 and Xpro2 (just picked up used).
1st impression on the pier was that Fuji was punchier, and hence more appealing. But f/1.8 v. f/2.8 ffeq really made a big difference in pop, by improving foreground/background isolation. Nice demonstration!
Great video. I shoot side by side Fuji X-T3 and Nikon Z6 and your insight is spot on. Unless we pixel peep or have bokeh, it's hard to tell the difference.
The Fuji has 'better' resolution at 26MP over the Nikon at 24MP - the Nikon looks like it has higher resolution because the 50mm 1.8 S lens is out resolving the Fuji lens. That Nikon lens is one of the sharpest lenses around - as such the Fuji is not taking advantage of all 26MP so the Nikon image is likely a higher resolution even though it is lower MP due to the lenses resolving power. That is one of the reasons for having great lenses. Also, Nikon RAW files are the best in the business. Also, you can apply the actual Nikon profiles (Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Flat Portrait and all 20 creative picture profiles) to the Nikon RAW files in LR now - as of the latest update. This is a great update for LR and makes it even better with the Nikon files.
bigger pixels come with higher clarity in the image. So, same lens resolution and same megapixel will always look better on a bigger sensor. Also when shooting with "equivalents": 50 vs 35, because of the natural higher "power" of a longer focal lenght, the image will also look clearer. Its small 2% increments, but when they all sum together, the quality difference is noticeable. This is why there is still a reason to develop medium and large format digital sensors.
I watched this in portrait orientation on my phone with low bandwidth. So they looked pretty similar to me 😆. The luminosity bit was something I learned today. Thanks.
Omar, there have definitely been times I've preferred the in-camera Nikon rendering to what I got out of RAW processing from Lightroom. So much so, I dropped Lightroom for NX Studio so I could make my edits and keep that sweet Nikon magic. I'd love to see what you think of it.
Lately I process my RAWS in NX Studio, and bring the JPEGS into Lightroom for culling and fine adjustments. But my purpose is to preserve those stunning Nikon colors.
Great vid. I’d love to see you compare the autofocus of the cameras. I’ve seen comparisons of video autofocus but not so much for stills for say weddings and events rather than static subjects. Always great vids. Keep it up 😀🤟🏻
Enjoy your channel and your pleasant personality. Interesting comparison. What I’d like to see is a comparison using the same lens on these different camera bodies; for example, adapting the same Nikon lens onto the Fujifilm XT3, that way there is absolutely no bias regarding the lens. Cheers!
For my eyes... The Nikon was more pleasing on the opening shot (when you had not yet set the cameras to cloudy) and the jet ski shot. The Fuji was more pleasing on the luminence shot (blue tables). For everything else, the two were so close I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
one thing to correct: Lightroom's latest version are no longer able to process Canon's camera profiles for EOS R5/R6 anymore. You're left with LR's own presets. The raw files can no longer just apply a preset and look like the jpegs in terms of color. For serious shots I often have no choice but to go through the slow grind of Canon's DPP4 and convert those for the color processing baked into the raw then see if need local adjustments(DPP 4 does not have local adjustment tools.)
The contrast with the Fuji glass seems better than the Z6 actually. And the Fuji colors are a little brighter. But really, there isn't much difference, not that you could see much difference on his monitor watching on your monitor.
@@nickbakis1553 I got the Z6ll and the 50mm. Never paid much attention to the Z prices on zooms and I'm not considering the possibility of selling it and getting an X camera because of the more affordable zooms. Would that be a good idea or am I'm better of sticking to my Nikon?
@@alfredconqueror4422Unless you want something smaller and lighter (and this mainly applies to the smaller Fuji bodies and lenses - not the XT4, for instance), my advise would be to stick with the Z6. If you find the Z6 and zoom options large, on the other hand, Fuji is a great option.
Regarding blacks and shadows, I noticed the same when comparing the A7iii to Fujifilm. The larger sensor's better dynamic range produces brighter more punchy images without flattening or washing out the image. Often the images seem to 'breathe' more and are less contrasty and crushed (comparatively speaking) .
I shoot with my good friend often. He has a Nikon Z5. I feel your comparason here is spot on. My friends leans toward landscape photography where there isn't a lot of difference between our two cameras, but his images are often just a little sharper perhaps due to the full-frame advantage. I have a pre-rental version of Lightroom (5.7) which doesn't handle direct inporting of my X-T3 files. So I use DxO's excellent PureRaw III. I usuually go for moody lighting which I achieve in post using DxO's NIK collection. After about a year of observation and experimentation, I've decided to stick with Fujifilm's crop sensor for its smaller bodys and lenses. Not only are the available lenses smaller, they are of high quality and less expensive than those made for the Z platform. I still remain envious of ease of bokeh effects, and increased sharpness that you get with full-frame. BTW, I was a Nikon shooter for years using both crop sensor and full-frame cameras and lenses. Nikon Z is considerably sharper than anything Nikon had in either crop sensor or full-frame DSLRs.
Fantatsic video I find you so engaging I was surprised as a Nikon shooter to see how similar the colours were as Fuji is held in such high esteem for its colours many thanks for taking the time to make the video that Z 50mm is a lens for the ages truly spectacular
I’m currently a Nikon shooter and intrigued by Fuji’s film simulations and lighter kit. I’m reassured by seeing just how similar the two results are, Nikon going for a filmic look and not a digital one, despite not calling it a film simulation as such. I always thought this was an advantage of digital, being able to reprocess a Raw with different intentions, though more recently I want a more spontaneous experience. So it seems to me having a side Fuji (or other option) would suit me as the main problem with my full-frame DSLR Nikon gear is size, and Fuji still has an advantage over the Z full-frame gear when it comes to that. It’s just so hard to choose… so thanks so much for your input.
Your videos are a joy to watch! After months of mental debating with myself I finally bought the Nikon Z6ii because of the grip. Fujis grip is a nightmare and so uncomfortable compared to the Nikon. What’s your thought on the Fuji grip?
Fun comparison, I’m sure it’s been mentioned by others but curious to see how the Fuji 35 f1.4 would look, probably not at sharp but better rendition. I love it on my X-T3.
Perfect example that Fujifilm’s APSC development is totally on point as at least at 100%, image quality is basically matching Full Frame, only when pixel pipping to 200% can you see negligible difference. As for bokehliciousness, If you use Fujifilm XF50mm F1.0 you can get matching bokehlicious half body portraits. With XF90mm F2 you can get full body portraits with excellent separation. Also, Omar is using Lightroom, which is not optimum for Fujifilm’s X Trans files. When use with Capture One, files will be much more delicious for Fuji
I thought all C1 did was just process images in a way without worms. It doesn't increase image quality. At least not in my experience. The worms don't show up easily either if the image is not pushed too far.
Using Fuji for 5 years now, C1 blow away Fuji files, and I used Lightroom too. Something in clarity and color redention that C1 does his magic. I am talking of C1 Fujifilm version.
@@ktcool4660 If you used some Leica, Voigtlander, Zeiss , Schneider, or Hasselblad glass you would not ask such question.If you like sterile digital output in each photo and adore polycarbonate you have to buy Nikon Z lenses preferable zoom since you don't need to bother with primes they all look same.
@@eagleeyephoto8715 you are full of shit. Nikon noct blows away leica noctilux. The Nikon 50mm f1.2 is on another level compared to all the other 50mm f1.2s. The 50 & 80 1.8s have great optics. Stellar micro contrast, saturation & 3d separation.
Nikon used to be the main APS-C brand. They had rugged, fast pro APS-C cameras every wildlife photographer was using at one point, whereas Canon were plastic fantastic all the way up to their highest price points. Fujifilm took most of that market share away from them.
Awesome video ... pixel peeping is fun sometimes heheh Love seeing the differences between camera systems. I just wonder how much the lens factor in the sharpness vs sensor.
Hi Omar, how do the Fuji 1.4 R or WR lenses compare with Z 1.8 lenses? I have recently dipped my toes in Fuji territory and love using it. I have the x-t4 and the 100-400. I take that out alongside my z6 and 24-120, 20mm and 50mm for landscape photography. Increasingly I am finding I am more pleased with my Fuji pics straight out of camera than I am with Nikon to the point where I have been considering going all in with Fuji. I am just trying to work out if I would regret that decision.
Perfect humor for a great video as always it answers some of the questions I had toward the Nikon vs the Fuji. Just wondering if you were shooting at 0 when it comes to shadows, highlights, colors and noise? If you can in one of your upcoming video comparing the autofocus (and their settings) the high iso ( that 1600 iso up must be pixelicious on the z6) in photos and optionally videos. 🙏🏻👌😊
Thanks a lot Omar, that's an interesting Video since I have just moved from Nikon D750 to Fuji not just because of size and weight but for the Fuji colours SOOC. I find Fuji - mainly Provia, Auto WB, exposure -1/3 - being more aquarelistic vs. Nikon, but we like the look. I also love Fuji's Classic Chrome look and also Astia for Portrait but set colour +1 on these. Acros, yes I like to experiment more with it. It fosters creativity and I must admit I believe I never set my Nikon to monochrome although I shot Nikon DSLR for since 2005. APS-C vs Full frame: I have always used full frame lenses on my Nikon D70 APS-C, so bokeh and isolating objects has never been an issue. Since using Fuji X, I am sometimes still struggeling with the different viewing angle and I agree isokating objects is more difficult but still fine on both the f2/35 & 50 primes and f4 16-80 zoom lens. So why not Nikon Z - what really pissed me off is that Nikon's FTZ doesn't support autofocus with AF-D lenses. I understand they want to sell their Z-lenses offering better look, quality and autofocus and I am prepared to invest but only as part of a transition process since the good old glass isn't bad at all. And by the way, Fuji bodies are X-E3 and X-H1 since my wife doesn't even part from her X-E2s to let me take a single shot...
I enjoyed the video because I also identify as a Fuji and Nikon shooter. For me if it's more prime oriented I go with Fuji. While the Nikon Z primes are great, they're gigantic. But with zooms, they're actually pretty close. The Nikon 14-30 and 24-70 F4 are comparable in size with the Fuji zooms. Would be interesting to look at the 24-70 F 2.8 or F 4 versus the Fuji 16-55.
Hey Omar and everyone! I’m currently a Fuji shooter and I primarily shoot weddings/events (part time). I love Fuji I have the XT4 and XT3 but I’m itching to try a mirror less full frame and keep coming back to the Nikon Z line up. Im seeing lots of people shooting both systems side by side, but usually 1 for family other for professional. My question is could you shoot both systems for one event? Eg. If I were to sell on of my Fuji bodies and 2 lenses, could I get away with mixing the two file types do you think? I’m guessing it would be more of a pain to edit them, but I’m not ready to let go of Fuji and I also don’t have the budget to go all in on a dual Z6ii kit 🥲
There're a few things I saw come up in your image-comparisons that I feel are critical when comparing crop sensors to full-frame ones. The full-frame images consistently show more dynamic range. The glass buildings of the Nikon just popped out at me every time because they have more contrast between the various tones, for example. In the cedar trees on the dock amongst the umbrellas the shadows of a full-frame sensor look lighter, less contrasty than the crop; this is because there's more tonality rendered on a full-frame sensor due to the increased dynamic range. It would be easy to remove the tonality and drive it down into a contrasty black, but obviously you can't go the other way necessarily on a crop-sensor (from contrasty blacks up to a rich array of shadow tones). Also, white balance and color, so much of what makes Fuji images sing is the artistic brilliance of their simulations; maybe it's less about the sensor than it is the design and programming of the colors? Where this resonates for me is when I make the conscious decision to shoot RAW on either Nikon or Fuji systems, yes the files are unique in various ways but in the end I process in a look that I like that I can achieve from either brand. Obviously, if you prefer (and I do sometimes) to shoot jpeg casually, then Fujifim just simply makes it fun and easy to get nice images. One thing that I think should always be a discussion in a comparison between a crop sensor and full-frame is depth-of-field and approximately (just to educate those who believe it to be mysterious) the actual difference, for example, if a lens has an aperture of f/1.8 on a Nikon full-frame sensor the same lens will have an equivalent depth-of-field of (1.5 x f/1.8) f/2.7. Just to be clear, I like it when we're reminded of the math involved, it's relatively precise and now we have some fast lenses for crop cameras so it isn't always a worry not being able to achieve shallow depth of field. For me this was mysterious and difficult for a long time because it is too-often unmentioned. With that, the light-gathering of the f/1.8 lens is the same on full-frame vs crop. To conclude, yes there are interesting brand-related image characteristics, pros and cons between Nikon full-frame and Fujifilm crops but the real differences for image quality are objective, based on physics and very-much important to understand in any comparison of these cameras.
It‘s fantastic to see that Nikon is doing a fantastic job. I used a Alpha 7R II and a X-T30 and the X-T30 outperformed the RII in every way. To see that the Nikon matches Fuji so well makes me happy. It seems like this is the perfect combo, because you got the same good feeling comparing the images. Thank you so much Omar for your fantastic work here on TH-cam. After watching your video about the pros of the X-T20 i bought the successor for my trip to D.C. and NYC and was overwhelmed by the quality. Greetings from germany
late to the party but great video! It would be interesting to see a Z6 v Z7 or Z7 v Fuji X comparison. edit. Also, given a lot of your older photos seem to have been taken with a Canon DLSR, I'd be really interested to hear why you switched from Canon to Nikon
I sold all my fuji for the nikon z6ii two years ago. I had all the great s line lenses for the Nikon. The quality was really good but i just didnt enjoy using it as much I did my fuji. Needless to say I sold all the Nikon and ended up going back with Fuji and got an xt-5. The process of taking a picture is truly more enjoyable which for me is worth the tradeoff. Also the lenses are smaller 😄
Just stumbled upon your channel, interesting comparison. Would love to see similar Fuji/Nikon comparison with model (skin tones). Keep up with your interesting contents!
Hi Omar, I have a question that not related to photography in any way, but what speaker stands do you have? That speaker on the backround looks to be a Klipsch R-B81, quite a big speaker yet the stand seems very lightweight. Thank you!
Hi Omar, would you make an auto focus comparison between these two cameras? Maybe autofocus tracking and face detection? I have Fuji XT30 and mostly use single point autofocus but it’s challenging when photographing wild children… Thank you 🙏🏼
Omar, great video... as always. Thanks. You asked us for other comparison ideas, so... For me, the only useful comparison is side-by-side PRINTS. How about making, say, 20x30 prints of the same scene, one from Fuji, one from Nikon? I don't think I've ever seen this done, so it would be greatly appreciated!
This has been done with different megapixel cameras. Here's a few good ones: th-cam.com/video/E8Sej2TEes4/w-d-xo.html. and th-cam.com/video/zZNr24yVD9s/w-d-xo.html
@@ogonzilla and Jamie. Nigel Dansen has done a print comparison (you’ll need to look for it). The result is very slight extra detail in the Nikon but again really needing a magnifying glass to see the difference and that’s on a large A3 print. The benefit for me is the reduced volume and weight of the Fuji especially if carrying a backpack of lenses. One doesn’t have to look at the screen to see the settings of the Fuji and that makes shooting with the Fuji much more enjoyable for me. The larger pixels of the Nikon would probably make it better in really low light but how often would one need that? Hope that helps.
@@ogonzilla Omar, thanks so much for replying so quickly!! I especially liked Nigel Dansen's comparison. Super useful. As I've always assumed, lens qualities affect prints much more than pixels.
Nice comparison Omar. Now I want to get the Canon 5D iii & a Sigma 50 f1.4! The main differences I can see in your comparison is that the Nikon Z 50mm is maybe a bit sharper and produces more detail. It is also amazing to see the physical size difference between the 2 systems, that Fuji lens is dinky! I own a Nikon D7500 and just bought a Fuji X-S10 and have done some comparison images; I set the cameras to Standard Picture Profile JPEG, sRGB, Aperture Priority at F5.6, ISO 200 and tried to keep the focal length the same and took all shots on a tripod with 2 sec delay. My conclusion is that the colours are very similar with the Nikon being a bit punchier, more detailed and for some reason giving a faster shutter speed with most images, even though the exposures are very similar (e.g. if the Fuji took the image at 1/250th, the Nikon took the same image at about 1/500th). Maybe it's to do with metering or the different ISO scales/ratings that companies use?
Great video. I think that the xf 35mm f1.4 would have been a better choice for comparison as it's a 50mm f2.1 ff equivalent vs the 35 f/2 being a 50mm f3 equivalent
Hi Omar, I’m already having an fuji xs10. My long time aim is to go to full frame. Now the Nikon z6ii is on offer. Is autofocus of Nikon z6ii better than Fuji or it’s the same (or worse)
I'm a Nikon shooter, but recently I have bought Fuji XH2S. I use it with the Fringer and the Tamron 35mm 1.4. It's a great, sharp lens and gives you equivalent of 50mm f1.8-2.0. No need to wait for Fuji :)
One of the biggest differences i saw between these two bodies is that the images out of nikon have a punchier feeling to them, their highlights are punchier and its making that zone stand out, it reduces the need of dodging. Nikon certainly has better resolution and i prefer nikon colours so i like the colours from nikon more. However i feel that using a nikon z 50mm f1.8 in the test gives nikon a clear edge. I wish you could have used 2 nikn z 50mm on both bodies, that would have been the ultimate test.
I think when it comes to skin tones, Nikon is better or more neutral. However, I can't see any significant difference as per this video when it comes to the colors overall. Actually, Fuji has more vibrant colors (which I do not like, I want myself to put more vibrance than the camera doing it for me).
shooting in both brands I steel prefer Nikon for my pro stuff and fuji for my personal little personal projects but every time I work on that nef files I'm amazed by how much information they have!
Great video! If you're still in the mood to experiment I'd love to see a comparison of how the cameras handle high dynamic range. We've probably all read that a bigger pixel in the full frame *should* be an advantage, but is it really a noticeable difference? If I stand back at normal viewing distance, is it going to improve the image? (I'm a fuji XT owner who mostly shoots landscapes, and every few weeks I go down a rabbit hole trying to figure out whether I should buy a NIkon Z6 or 7....)
@ Omar Gonzalez. Could you please advise me which camera is better Nikon z6 II or Fuji X-H2 in terms of image quality and clarity? I mostly crop the pictures as well.
Forgot to mention Id like to see some comparisons with some actual tele photo lenses. I got the 50-140mm of fuji and how does this compare to either the 24-120 f4 or 24-200 f4-6.3 on the Nikon Z. Also I would be interested to see I comparison on DX format camera's between the Z and X mount. Eg 50-140mm fuji vs 18-140 nikon z or 50-250mm nikon z. Hope to see more video's soon

Your sense of humor and honesty is the reason why I respect you the most in the photographic community. Keep the reviews coming! Enjoyed this video👌
Nikon is totally under appreciated. I really like Nikon images. Though I REALLY like my new XT4.
Don't worry Nikon appreciates themselves enough for everyone. (say that as a Nikon and Fuji fan)
I'm having trouble understanding you guy's comments over the sound of me owning multiple Nikon cameras.
But seriously. I really do think that the T4 and the Z6 are on a smart path with their ability to switch between video and photography. With my Olympus M1 Mark II. If you want to photography manual and video manual. You're stuck with your settings. Fuji and Nikon are onto something with their ability to save photography settings separate from video settings. Even though Fuji needs to save more information with their custom settings.
@@Smoothblue90 having separate settings for video and photography was one thing I really liked with the XT4. Granted I do own a Z6, but at the time of getting my XT4, I really didn’t shoot much video.
@@danielschmaderer I'm actually looking forward to what the Fuji H2 will be like. I really like the size of Fuji lenses. And a body with a proper grip and proper shutter position with a new sensor and better video autofocus could be outstanding.
I started shooting Nikon, but I have been a fujifilm shooter for about two years now. I honestly felt like the colors were similar. It's nice to see someone else get similar results.
Man, you really make me wanna get a Nikon Z6😭 I always wanted to get a fullframe along my Fujifilm cameras. Maybe a used Z6…
As someone who just switched from Sony/Fuji to Nikon/Fuji, I am loving these videos. Definitely validates many of the reasons I left Sony.
Whoa, same here!
But why is Sony so bad?
@@jason4555 The colors out of camera are not as good, also editing in Lightroom is easier with Nikon. I also felt the colors on the EVF and LCD (A7R3) were pretty muted, and didn't give me a good impression of what the photo would look like.
@@jason4555 Sony needs a lot of post processing. It's not a bad system but really you shoot raw in Sony and edit. The Sony jpegs suck. And before you diss jpegs remember not everyone wants to sit at a computer monitor massaging an image when you could be out having fun with the camera. Fuji's have the best jpegs IMO and then of course you have all those film simulations to choose from.
never liked Sony colors....they own the AF market though.
An interesting comparison would be to see how well under / over exposed images can be recovered between the two systems.
I'd like to see that - even better if you've got both in the same shot - sunset?.
Great vid Omar, really interesting to see how close they are for color. Thanks Matt PS. what do you think of the Z fc?
Thanks for this comparison…it supports my feeling over time that the colors between Nikon and Fuji are not dramatically different. That
One reason would not be the reason to go with one over the other. Well done.
thanks Lou!
"Larger Pixels are GOODER" - Instant like!
andthat's the truth!
It surely is a great time to have photography as a hobby. I mean really it is hard to buy a bad camera with all of the major brands. Yes there are differences in output but they really all look great. One of the things I love about Fuji is the ability to get a big variety of looks out of the camera jpegs. It is scary good to the point that I seldom even use the raw files anymore.
Can someone send Omar all the camera equipment? I don't care about comparisons, just love his videos.
Thanks!
can I send him also my handycam? just kidding hehehe.. I don't just love his videos, I just love this man himself more than Jim Carrey!! ;)
I'll try.
@7Artisan kindly send him the 50mm 1.4 or the 35mm 1.2 mark I
thank you..
@@heshamabdulrahman2133 I ma contact him right now！
Omar, you have just become my favorite go to guy, according to review. Keep up the good work, and the funny approach! Greetings from a huge Danish fan
I love the humorous style of your presentations, keep it up!
For a really fair comparison perhaps you shoudn't compare fullframe 50mm/1.8 vs. APS-C 35mm/2.0. Probably the look of the images would become even more alike if you would take the Fujinon XF 33mm F1.4 R LM WR, which will give you more background separation.
Anyway, well done, and very interesting for me as a Nikon Z full frame shooter. The differences are smaller than I thought they were. And especially in the tele-range APS-C could be tempting for me.
I am enjoying your sense of humor! BTW I can see the difference between the two cameras and look forward to receiving my Nikon ZII this week.
For this kind of comparison, I just look at the tonal variation from the original or print and it works with another channel's 12 vs. 102 MP challenge from prints or Instagram. For example, the transition with Nikon is gradual, like Zone 4, 5 & 6 while Fuji is 4 & 6.
Also, you highlighted something seems to be overlooked by photographers using fast aperture. While a fast lens can eliminate background distractions lazily, but attention to details will make us notice that it is replaced by a new out of focus distraction. Hence blobs of colors that appeared on the out of focus background still need to be composed nicely with good visual design and arrange the colors based on color theory. Think of Saul Leiter composition and colors. 🙂
I know this is now a 2 year old video, but thanks (belatedly) for doing it. My general frustration with the digital photography world is all manufacturers inability to make small full frame cameras WITH SMALL LENSES. There was no problem making small cameras and lenses during the film world (eg., Nikon FM or FE plus old series 50 mm f/1.8). Look at the Z6 and that huge 50 mm f/1.8. Seriously, it totally guts the whole selling point of "going mirrorless."
Don’t forget that is a no holds barred, exceptional quality lens. I wouldn’t be too surprised if a smaller one followed (the DSLR 50mm 1.8G is pretty small and light by comparison).
Nikon has no proper planning in designing lens. Now, they have the pancake 40mm. They should have released this during DSLRs era, even Canon had one back then.
Hello Brother Omar which one is better for photo & video shooting on human subject like wedding videography & wedding photography between Nikon Z 7ii and Fuji Film XT4 ? thanks 🙏
I was hoping Nikon would send you the new Zfc for review
Thanks for this Omar! I have been shooting both Nikon full frame and Fuji for quite a while now. It’s good to see the strengths of both systems.. I actually purchased the Nikon (D600) first and quickly realised that I would need an smaller form factor system to complement the candid portrait doco style that is a lot
Both great cameras, My full frame gear is Nikon but have X100V for fun. Love the colours on both 😍
Hi Omar. I gave up on trying to get nice colors from my A7III (as you can get) so I sold it. The Fujifilm X-T4 or a Nikon (can't decide between Z5 and Z6II) are my main options to replace it. I'd love if could compare one of your fujis vs the Z6II, especially skin tones in SOOC images and using AWB.
Thanks for you videos!
Both are great camera, I used Nikon Z6 for landscape, Fujifilm XT20 for street photography because of the size, love both👍😊
Love your videos Omar. I switched from a Nikon D750 to Fuji 4 years ago and am not convinced it was a great move. I'm not gonna lie, I instantly preferred the Nikon images in this comparison and has helped me in the decision to switch back to Nikon. Now the dilemma Z6ii or Z7ii!
I did exactly same thing. Switched from Nikon D750 to fuji xt3. Now looking at going back to nikon z611 or z711. Not sure which one
I felt the same. Not sure if fujifilm had a lot of hype of not but I didn't feel the images were superior to my d750. But I think fuji's convenience is the size, character of photos from film simulation (simplicity mindset, no editing required for some) and just how beautiful the cameras are which is more psychologically appealing which feels more inspiring and fun to always use.
I think the best combo is fuji as everyday compact camera and nikon for more serious work in my opinion. Although you can easily do vise versa. I use a Nikon Z5 and Xpro2 (just picked up used).
1st impression on the pier was that Fuji was punchier, and hence more appealing. But f/1.8 v. f/2.8 ffeq really made a big difference in pop, by improving foreground/background isolation. Nice demonstration!
Great video. I shoot side by side Fuji X-T3 and Nikon Z6 and your insight is spot on. Unless we pixel peep or have bokeh, it's hard to tell the difference.
The Fuji has 'better' resolution at 26MP over the Nikon at 24MP - the Nikon looks like it has higher resolution because the 50mm 1.8 S lens is out resolving the Fuji lens. That Nikon lens is one of the sharpest lenses around - as such the Fuji is not taking advantage of all 26MP so the Nikon image is likely a higher resolution even though it is lower MP due to the lenses resolving power. That is one of the reasons for having great lenses. Also, Nikon RAW files are the best in the business. Also, you can apply the actual Nikon profiles (Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Flat Portrait and all 20 creative picture profiles) to the Nikon RAW files in LR now - as of the latest update. This is a great update for LR and makes it even better with the Nikon files.
bigger pixels come with higher clarity in the image. So, same lens resolution and same megapixel will always look better on a bigger sensor. Also when shooting with "equivalents": 50 vs 35, because of the natural higher "power" of a longer focal lenght, the image will also look clearer. Its small 2% increments, but when they all sum together, the quality difference is noticeable. This is why there is still a reason to develop medium and large format digital sensors.
I watched this in portrait orientation on my phone with low bandwidth. So they looked pretty similar to me 😆.
The luminosity bit was something I learned today. Thanks.
Yeah, the difference made me think I had something called "Active D-lighting" on...but it was off.
Omar, there have definitely been times I've preferred the in-camera Nikon rendering to what I got out of RAW processing from Lightroom. So much so, I dropped Lightroom for NX Studio so I could make my edits and keep that sweet Nikon magic. I'd love to see what you think of it.
I found the first version slow to render my edits. Need to upgrade my computer
@@ogonzilla Honestly, so do I. I've just been putting up with it.
Lately I process my RAWS in NX Studio, and bring the JPEGS into Lightroom for culling and fine adjustments. But my purpose is to preserve those stunning Nikon colors.
Have you seen the just announced Nikon Zfc? That’ll make you tingle inside, such a nice design.
Loved the comparisons of the black and white shots--thanks for another great video!
Great vid. I’d love to see you compare the autofocus of the cameras. I’ve seen comparisons of video autofocus but not so much for stills for say weddings and events rather than static subjects. Always great vids. Keep it up 😀🤟🏻
Enjoy your channel and your pleasant personality. Interesting comparison. What I’d like to see is a comparison using the same lens on these different camera bodies; for example, adapting the same Nikon lens onto the Fujifilm XT3, that way there is absolutely no bias regarding the lens. Cheers!
That's a great idea. I'd need a Fringer adapter
@@ogonzilla You could go with just a basic adapter around $20, shoot in manual mode on a tripod with identical settings and timer.
For my eyes...
The Nikon was more pleasing on the opening shot (when you had not yet set the cameras to cloudy) and the jet ski shot.
The Fuji was more pleasing on the luminence shot (blue tables).
For everything else, the two were so close I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
one thing to correct: Lightroom's latest version are no longer able to process Canon's camera profiles for EOS R5/R6 anymore. You're left with LR's own presets. The raw files can no longer just apply a preset and look like the jpegs in terms of color. For serious shots I often have no choice but to go through the slow grind of Canon's DPP4 and convert those for the color processing baked into the raw then see if need local adjustments(DPP 4 does not have local adjustment tools.)
Fuji owner here. The Nikon images are noticeably better. Colors, contrast, sharpness. Noticeable straightaway, without zooming in.
The contrast with the Fuji glass seems better than the Z6 actually. And the Fuji colors are a little brighter. But really, there isn't much difference, not that you could see much difference on his monitor watching on your monitor.
@@jimmason8502With all respect, I do notice difference straightaway
@@nickbakis1553 I got the Z6ll and the 50mm. Never paid much attention to the Z prices on zooms and I'm not considering the possibility of selling it and getting an X camera because of the more affordable zooms. Would that be a good idea or am I'm better of sticking to my Nikon?
@@alfredconqueror4422Unless you want something smaller and lighter (and this mainly applies to the smaller Fuji bodies and lenses - not the XT4, for instance), my advise would be to stick with the Z6. If you find the Z6 and zoom options large, on the other hand, Fuji is a great option.
Regarding blacks and shadows, I noticed the same when comparing the A7iii to Fujifilm. The larger sensor's better dynamic range produces brighter more punchy images without flattening or washing out the image. Often the images seem to 'breathe' more and are less contrasty and crushed (comparatively speaking) .
I shoot with my good friend often. He has a Nikon Z5. I feel your comparason here is spot on. My friends leans toward landscape photography where there isn't a lot of difference between our two cameras, but his images are often just a little sharper perhaps due to the full-frame advantage.
I have a pre-rental version of Lightroom (5.7) which doesn't handle direct inporting of my X-T3 files. So I use DxO's excellent PureRaw III. I usuually go for moody lighting which I achieve in post using DxO's NIK collection. After about a year of observation and experimentation, I've decided to stick with Fujifilm's crop sensor for its smaller bodys and lenses. Not only are the available lenses smaller, they are of high quality and less expensive than those made for the Z platform. I still remain envious of ease of bokeh effects, and increased sharpness that you get with full-frame.
BTW, I was a Nikon shooter for years using both crop sensor and full-frame cameras and lenses. Nikon Z is considerably sharper than anything Nikon had in either crop sensor or full-frame DSLRs.
Fantatsic video I find you so engaging I was surprised as a Nikon shooter to see how similar the colours were as Fuji is held in such high esteem for its colours many thanks for taking the time to make the video that Z 50mm is a lens for the ages truly spectacular
I’m currently a Nikon shooter and intrigued by Fuji’s film simulations and lighter kit. I’m reassured by seeing just how similar the two results are, Nikon going for a filmic look and not a digital one, despite not calling it a film simulation as such. I always thought this was an advantage of digital, being able to reprocess a Raw with different intentions, though more recently I want a more spontaneous experience.
So it seems to me having a side Fuji (or other option) would suit me as the main problem with my full-frame DSLR Nikon gear is size, and Fuji still has an advantage over the Z full-frame gear when it comes to that. It’s just so hard to choose… so thanks so much for your input.
Excellent video 😮!
😂 you are very fun to watch. Seeing Jim Carry resemblance in your facial expressions
Hi Omar,
Am loving your fun and informative site. I wish I’d had you as my maths teacher! I would have looked forward to my lessons and homework!
I've only just found your channel as i recently switched to nikon. I love your vids.
I am keen to have a look at the Zfc.
Your videos are a joy to watch!
After months of mental debating with myself I finally bought the Nikon Z6ii because of the grip. Fujis grip is a nightmare and so uncomfortable compared to the Nikon.
What’s your thought on the Fuji grip?
Best Cookie Monster impression of all time. Passable Scottish accent. Man's got talent
Fun comparison, I’m sure it’s been mentioned by others but curious to see how the Fuji 35 f1.4 would look, probably not at sharp but better rendition. I love it on my X-T3.
Perfect example that Fujifilm’s APSC development is totally on point as at least at 100%, image quality is basically matching Full Frame, only when pixel pipping to 200% can you see negligible difference. As for bokehliciousness, If you use Fujifilm XF50mm F1.0 you can get matching bokehlicious half body portraits. With XF90mm F2 you can get full body portraits with excellent separation. Also, Omar is using Lightroom, which is not optimum for Fujifilm’s X Trans files. When use with Capture One, files will be much more delicious for Fuji
I thought all C1 did was just process images in a way without worms. It doesn't increase image quality. At least not in my experience. The worms don't show up easily either if the image is not pushed too far.
My thoughts exactly. I'm amazed he uses Lightroom with Fuji
@@professionalpotato4764 C1 it has way better fuji color rendition
@@Floridd I ended up using IridientX as I prefer LR workflow.
Using Fuji for 5 years now, C1 blow away Fuji files, and I used Lightroom too. Something in clarity and color redention that C1 does his magic. I am talking of C1 Fujifilm version.
I wonder if Fujifilm XF35mm f1.4 would do better than the f2 compared to the Nikon 50 f1.8
@@eagleeyephoto8715 what?
@@ktcool4660 If you used some Leica, Voigtlander, Zeiss , Schneider, or Hasselblad glass you would not ask such question.If you like sterile digital output in each photo and adore polycarbonate you have to buy Nikon Z lenses preferable zoom since you don't need to bother with primes they all look same.
@@eagleeyephoto8715 you are full of shit. Nikon noct blows away leica noctilux. The Nikon 50mm f1.2 is on another level compared to all the other 50mm f1.2s. The 50 & 80 1.8s have great optics. Stellar micro contrast, saturation & 3d separation.

@@eagleeyephoto8715 ok boomah
I am surprised by how many both own a Nikon and Fuji camera. Interesting video.
Nikon used to be the main APS-C brand. They had rugged, fast pro APS-C cameras every wildlife photographer was using at one point, whereas Canon were plastic fantastic all the way up to their highest price points. Fujifilm took most of that market share away from them.
Awesome video ... pixel peeping is fun sometimes heheh Love seeing the differences between camera systems. I just wonder how much the lens factor in the sharpness vs sensor.
Hi Omar, how do the Fuji 1.4 R or WR lenses compare with Z 1.8 lenses? I have recently dipped my toes in Fuji territory and love using it. I have the x-t4 and the 100-400. I take that out alongside my z6 and 24-120, 20mm and 50mm for landscape photography. Increasingly I am finding I am more pleased with my Fuji pics straight out of camera than I am with Nikon to the point where I have been considering going all in with Fuji. I am just trying to work out if I would regret that decision.
Perfect humor for a great video as always it answers some of the questions I had toward the Nikon vs the Fuji. Just wondering if you were shooting at 0 when it comes to shadows, highlights, colors and noise? If you can in one of your upcoming video comparing the autofocus (and their settings) the high iso ( that 1600 iso up must be pixelicious on the z6) in photos and optionally videos. 🙏🏻👌😊
Thanks a lot Omar, that's an interesting Video since I have just moved from Nikon D750 to Fuji not just because of size and weight but for the Fuji colours SOOC. I find Fuji - mainly Provia, Auto WB, exposure -1/3 - being more aquarelistic vs. Nikon, but we like the look. I also love Fuji's Classic Chrome look and also Astia for Portrait but set colour +1 on these. Acros, yes I like to experiment more with it. It fosters creativity and I must admit I believe I never set my Nikon to monochrome although I shot Nikon DSLR for since 2005. APS-C vs Full frame: I have always used full frame lenses on my Nikon D70 APS-C, so bokeh and isolating objects has never been an issue. Since using Fuji X, I am sometimes still struggeling with the different viewing angle and I agree isokating objects is more difficult but still fine on both the f2/35 & 50 primes and f4 16-80 zoom lens. So why not Nikon Z - what really pissed me off is that Nikon's FTZ doesn't support autofocus with AF-D lenses. I understand they want to sell their Z-lenses offering better look, quality and autofocus and I am prepared to invest but only as part of a transition process since the good old glass isn't bad at all. And by the way, Fuji bodies are X-E3 and X-H1 since my wife doesn't even part from her X-E2s to let me take a single shot...
I enjoyed the video because I also identify as a Fuji and Nikon shooter. For me if it's more prime oriented I go with Fuji. While the Nikon Z primes are great, they're gigantic.
But with zooms, they're actually pretty close. The Nikon 14-30 and 24-70 F4 are comparable in size with the Fuji zooms. Would be interesting to look at the 24-70 F 2.8 or F 4 versus the Fuji 16-55.
The photo with the plants on the fence was the tie breaker, the z6ii was so clear and sharp!
The Z 50mm S 1.8 is crazy sharp, near Otus level.
It's incredible for the price.
@@ogonzilla I ordered one a few days ago. Can't wait! Have you looked at the MTF charts on this lens? Stunning optics!
@@sierragold Those charts will make all the difference...
Hey Omar, if yoy had to pick one system for everything (work, family, travel), which one would it be ?
Hey Omar and everyone! I’m currently a Fuji shooter and I primarily shoot weddings/events (part time). I love Fuji I have the XT4 and XT3 but I’m itching to try a mirror less full frame and keep coming back to the Nikon Z line up. Im seeing lots of people shooting both systems side by side, but usually 1 for family other for professional. My question is could you shoot both systems for one event? Eg. If I were to sell on of my Fuji bodies and 2 lenses, could I get away with mixing the two file types do you think? I’m guessing it would be more of a pain to edit them, but I’m not ready to let go of Fuji and I also don’t have the budget to go all in on a dual Z6ii kit 🥲
There're a few things I saw come up in your image-comparisons that I feel are critical when comparing crop sensors to full-frame ones. The full-frame images consistently show more dynamic range. The glass buildings of the Nikon just popped out at me every time because they have more contrast between the various tones, for example. In the cedar trees on the dock amongst the umbrellas the shadows of a full-frame sensor look lighter, less contrasty than the crop; this is because there's more tonality rendered on a full-frame sensor due to the increased dynamic range. It would be easy to remove the tonality and drive it down into a contrasty black, but obviously you can't go the other way necessarily on a crop-sensor (from contrasty blacks up to a rich array of shadow tones). Also, white balance and color, so much of what makes Fuji images sing is the artistic brilliance of their simulations; maybe it's less about the sensor than it is the design and programming of the colors? Where this resonates for me is when I make the conscious decision to shoot RAW on either Nikon or Fuji systems, yes the files are unique in various ways but in the end I process in a look that I like that I can achieve from either brand. Obviously, if you prefer (and I do sometimes) to shoot jpeg casually, then Fujifim just simply makes it fun and easy to get nice images. One thing that I think should always be a discussion in a comparison between a crop sensor and full-frame is depth-of-field and approximately (just to educate those who believe it to be mysterious) the actual difference, for example, if a lens has an aperture of f/1.8 on a Nikon full-frame sensor the same lens will have an equivalent depth-of-field of (1.5 x f/1.8) f/2.7. Just to be clear, I like it when we're reminded of the math involved, it's relatively precise and now we have some fast lenses for crop cameras so it isn't always a worry not being able to achieve shallow depth of field. For me this was mysterious and difficult for a long time because it is too-often unmentioned. With that, the light-gathering of the f/1.8 lens is the same on full-frame vs crop. To conclude, yes there are interesting brand-related image characteristics, pros and cons between Nikon full-frame and Fujifilm crops but the real differences for image quality are objective, based on physics and very-much important to understand in any comparison of these cameras.
Omar its like your face always on standby to laugh lol 😂
That was a really useful video Omar. Thanks
Such a great demonstration. Thanks!
I die at the little accents you make, so entertaining🤣🤣
Would like to see your take on Nikon Z fc since you are already a Fuji user
It‘s fantastic to see that Nikon is doing a fantastic job. I used a Alpha 7R II and a X-T30 and the X-T30 outperformed the RII in every way. To see that the Nikon matches Fuji so well makes me happy. It seems like this is the perfect combo, because you got the same good feeling comparing the images.
Thank you so much Omar for your fantastic work here on TH-cam. After watching your video about the pros of the X-T20 i bought the successor for my trip to D.C. and NYC and was overwhelmed by the quality.
Greetings from germany
late to the party but great video! It would be interesting to see a Z6 v Z7 or Z7 v Fuji X comparison.
edit. Also, given a lot of your older photos seem to have been taken with a Canon DLSR, I'd be really interested to hear why you switched from Canon to Nikon
Another great video by Omar !!! ...But....there is one little problem....Now I want both cameras !!!...Got to hide this video from wife. !!! 🤣
I sold all my fuji for the nikon z6ii two years ago. I had all the great s line lenses for the Nikon. The quality was really good but i just didnt enjoy using it as much I did my fuji. Needless to say I sold all the Nikon and ended up going back with Fuji and got an xt-5. The process of taking a picture is truly more enjoyable which for me is worth the tradeoff. Also the lenses are smaller 😄
3 months later... did you sell all your Fuji again ?? Or are you still happy ?
@@bilbo8338 😂😂 nope still have the xt5 and loving it.
Just stumbled upon your channel, interesting comparison. Would love to see similar Fuji/Nikon comparison with model (skin tones). Keep up with your interesting contents!
Hi Omar,
I have a question that not related to photography in any way, but what speaker stands do you have? That speaker on the backround looks to be a Klipsch R-B81, quite a big speaker yet the stand seems very lightweight.
Thank you!
Hi Omar, would you make an auto focus comparison between these two cameras? Maybe autofocus tracking and face detection? I have Fuji XT30 and mostly use single point autofocus but it’s challenging when photographing wild children… Thank you 🙏🏼
Omar, great video... as always. Thanks. You asked us for other comparison ideas, so... For me, the only useful comparison is side-by-side PRINTS. How about making, say, 20x30 prints of the same scene, one from Fuji, one from Nikon? I don't think I've ever seen this done, so it would be greatly appreciated!
This has been done with different megapixel cameras. Here's a few good ones: th-cam.com/video/E8Sej2TEes4/w-d-xo.html. and th-cam.com/video/zZNr24yVD9s/w-d-xo.html
@@ogonzilla and Jamie. Nigel Dansen has done a print comparison (you’ll need to look for it). The result is very slight extra detail in the Nikon but again really needing a magnifying glass to see the difference and that’s on a large A3 print. The benefit for me is the reduced volume and weight of the Fuji especially if carrying a backpack of lenses. One doesn’t have to look at the screen to see the settings of the Fuji and that makes shooting with the Fuji much more enjoyable for me. The larger pixels of the Nikon would probably make it better in really low light but how often would one need that? Hope that helps.
@@ogonzilla Omar, thanks so much for replying so quickly!! I especially liked Nigel Dansen's comparison. Super useful. As I've always assumed, lens qualities affect prints much more than pixels.
Nice comparison Omar. Now I want to get the Canon 5D iii & a Sigma 50 f1.4! The main differences I can see in your comparison is that the Nikon Z 50mm is maybe a bit sharper and produces more detail. It is also amazing to see the physical size difference between the 2 systems, that Fuji lens is dinky! I own a Nikon D7500 and just bought a Fuji X-S10 and have done some comparison images; I set the cameras to Standard Picture Profile JPEG, sRGB, Aperture Priority at F5.6, ISO 200 and tried to keep the focal length the same and took all shots on a tripod with 2 sec delay. My conclusion is that the colours are very similar with the Nikon being a bit punchier, more detailed and for some reason giving a faster shutter speed with most images, even though the exposures are very similar (e.g. if the Fuji took the image at 1/250th, the Nikon took the same image at about 1/500th). Maybe it's to do with metering or the different ISO scales/ratings that companies use?
Great video. I think that the xf 35mm f1.4 would have been a better choice for comparison as it's a 50mm f2.1 ff equivalent vs the 35 f/2 being a 50mm f3 equivalent
Love your videos. :-) I think this is a comparison lots of folk have been waiting for. I'd be most interested in a low light / high ISO comparison.
Hi Omar, I’m already having an fuji xs10. My long time aim is to go to full frame. Now the Nikon z6ii is on offer. Is autofocus of Nikon z6ii better than Fuji or it’s the same (or worse)
That minimum focus 35mm f2 shot reminded me why I swapped it for the 50mm f2. Wide open it’s unusably soft up close.
Wrong. That was a sliver of depth of field issue. I recorded zooming in on where it focused but edited out for time.
Actually Great Wort. I am Indeed wondering what difference it would make to have a z6 instead of my FUJI
I'm a Nikon shooter, but recently I have bought Fuji XH2S. I use it with the Fringer and the Tamron 35mm 1.4. It's a great, sharp lens and gives you equivalent of 50mm f1.8-2.0. No need to wait for Fuji :)
Omar! I just missed you! I was in Hoboken yesterday taking pictures with my beloved Fuji!
One of the biggest differences i saw between these two bodies is that the images out of nikon have a punchier feeling to them, their highlights are punchier and its making that zone stand out, it reduces the need of dodging. Nikon certainly has better resolution and i prefer nikon colours so i like the colours from nikon more. However i feel that using a nikon z 50mm f1.8 in the test gives nikon a clear edge. I wish you could have used 2 nikn z 50mm on both bodies, that would have been the ultimate test.
I think when it comes to skin tones, Nikon is better or more neutral. However, I can't see any significant difference as per this video when it comes to the colors overall. Actually, Fuji has more vibrant colors (which I do not like, I want myself to put more vibrance than the camera doing it for me).
@@janjamesramos247 exactly. I prefer neutral stuff so i can chsnge it as per my needs
Omar, I laugh a lot watching your video. Your so funny 😂 . Nice comparison fuji and nikon!
Love the audio in this video! Did you do something new?!
shooting in both brands I steel prefer Nikon for my pro stuff and fuji for my personal little personal projects but every time I work on that nef files I'm amazed by how much information they have!
Great video! If you're still in the mood to experiment I'd love to see a comparison of how the cameras handle high dynamic range. We've probably all read that a bigger pixel in the full frame *should* be an advantage, but is it really a noticeable difference? If I stand back at normal viewing distance, is it going to improve the image? (I'm a fuji XT owner who mostly shoots landscapes, and every few weeks I go down a rabbit hole trying to figure out whether I should buy a NIkon Z6 or 7....)
I'd like to I'd like to hear your comparison of working with skin tones both in raw and jpeg.
Agreed, i’d also add FF Canon to the mix
Can’t wait for the Nikon fc vs the Fuji xt3 video!
Great video as always! Would love to see you compare the Nikon Z6 II with the Sony A7iii!!
@ Omar Gonzalez. Could you please advise me which camera is better Nikon z6 II or Fuji X-H2 in terms of image quality and clarity? I mostly crop the pictures as well.
Forgot to mention Id like to see some comparisons with some actual tele photo lenses. I got the 50-140mm of fuji and how does this compare to either the 24-120 f4 or 24-200 f4-6.3 on the Nikon Z. Also I would be interested to see I comparison on DX format camera's between the Z and X mount. Eg 50-140mm fuji vs 18-140 nikon z or 50-250mm nikon z. Hope to see more video's soon
Wonderful job man. I really like your videos. Your videos are really useful. The way of presentation, so so funny... :)
