    Very nice comparison! I use both Fuji and Nikon and I pretty much feel just like you- I prefere the more subtle colours and contrast of the Nikon + the ability to get thinner depth of field. It´s actually quite funny- I´ve been using Fujifilm professionally for some three years but I still couldn´t say I love the colours :) When I look at a Nikon file it always looks much more natural to me. But I love the Fujifilm system as a whole and that´s why I still use it. However, I went to Nikon for wildlife- Fuji just don´t have the lenses, yet. (and I had the 100-400mm...)

      I couldn’t agree more Petr, colour management is something that tends to get left behind on the gear debate. Functions are always talked about, but what the delivered image looks like is pretty important. Maybe it’s because it’s easily corrected in post, or even that you can set the camera up to correct it to your colour taste. That’s where being a pro v amateur is different. Correcting one or two images from a shoot is one thing, but if I’ve been shooting all day for a brochure then hand correcting 400 images is not high on my to do list 🤣 and that I suppose, is why I shoot Nikon. Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it 👏😊

    I have both. I have also used the Nikkor adapted to fuji XT series cameras and the Xpro2 giving a luscious and fast 120-300mm range.
    I prefer the nikkor because I think it renders tones better for Black and white and I can use it with my 35mm SLR Film cameras. I also prefer the full frame depth of field you get at 200mm compared with 140mm on a crop. It edges it on sharpness, colour and micro contrast. However the colour differences are much more subtle when using the lenses on the same camera. But I still really like the fuji, it feels significantly lighter, it has optical stabilisation which is nice in low light, particularly for me since none of my cameras have IBIS. The autofocus is quiet and snappy, and works on my fuji cameras, whereas the autofocus for the nikkor is good, it only works with my D4, and that's quite a big camera to lug around all day with a big hefty lens.
    Both have their use.

    • @dude157

      Also regarding the DOF, the shallower depth of field from the nikkor has nothing to do with the sensor size. It's because F2.8 at 200mm gives a shallower DOF than 140mm at F2.8. If you put the Nikkor on the Fuji you get the exact same DOF on the x-trans crop as it does on a Full Frame, however it's cropped out of the centre so the focal range appears longer.
      It's very easy to test, just switch your fx camera to crop mode, the DOF doesn't change, just the field of view.

    Interesting video. I went from shooting a Nikon D500 to a Fuji X-T4. For me, it was an upgrade. Though the D500 is still by far the best APS-C DSLR ever made. I do understand the mirror box click you mentioned is definitely true, though you do get used to the feel as your friend said and there is movement when you take a shot, just not as much. The advantage of the IBIS is also much more noticeable when you shoot.
    At the end of the day, I can see why you would stick with Nikon. The colors out of camera from Nikon is amazing and underrated. If I decided to stick with Nikon, I probably would have went with the newer Z7ii, because the IBIS is definitely worth it. Batteries are getting better with Mirrorless cameras, so that’s definitely starting to go out the door. Your friends Fuji has the older batteries, so I’m not surprised he drained a battery so quickly. X-T4 has the newer batteries that last quite a long time.

      Hi Daniel, thank you for your comments they are most welcome and it’s great to get some detailed views from a photographer with personal experience of both brands. The batteries will be better on the newer Fuji, that’s a great point. I still found that when shooting with the Nikon Z6ii (review on my channel) the mirrorless batteries were nowhere near as long lasting, I guess it’s the EVF, but technology will soon catch up, and the batteries will soon be much better. I agree about the Nikon colour rendition, it seems to often be overlooked. The older D3s (also a review on my channel) had the most incredible colour rendition I’ve ever used. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate you taking the time. Best wishes 👏📷😊

    • @danielschmaderer
      @danielschmaderer 3 года назад

      @@rileyphotos yes you are 100% correct. That EVF is a big drain on the batteries. Setting up the EVF to only turn on when your eye is up the the eyepiece can help. Of course DSLRs are always going to be superior with battery life. The technology is definitely getting much better though. Older EVFs had a slower refresh rate which would be harder to track. I believe the Nikon EVFs refresh 60 times a second, where my current Fuji X-T4 refreshes 100 times a second which is nice to look through and track subjects. I’m sure it’s a drain, but that camera also has upgraded batteries, so that’s good.
      At the end of the day, it’s all about the shooters preference. You like like the way Nikon images look out of camera (which I definitely do too) and it fits your needs. That’s all that matters. Specs, Megapixels, and camera age don’t really mean much. Your D810 is technically an older model, yet I know from experience when my wife owned a D810 how amazing that camera is.
      Great video and thanks for the reply.

    This is an interesting comparison but I believe your friend does have a bit of an advantage as his kit is newer and most likely has more updated optics and tech.
    I don't want to take anything away from your friend and his kit, but your lens and camera is most likely 5 years older techwise than his gear.
    Additionally, as you saw in one of your recent videos comparing your son's newer iPhone to your older one, the newer technology does make a difference.
    Thank you for this video.

      Hi Michael, great to hear from you. I do love to do comparisons like this, because on face value, I would expect the new highly rated newer Fuji to walk all over the Old man Nikon here, but truth was, it didn’t. It was lighter and had more contrast and colour but the Nikon gave as good as it got. There are not so many places in life that old tech can compete with new tech. I did consider editing some images at the end of the video and not saying if it was taken with a Fuji or Nikon lens, to see how easy it would be to spot the difference. I guess I’m testing the laws of diminishing returns. Maybe next time. Thanks for watching and commenting , much appreciated 👏📷😊

    Into the End, it's all about the weight. For instance, i prefer to carry a (way) small 80-200/4.5-5.6D vs a 80-200/2.8 ED, why? It's good enough for most tasks, it's way light, even on the F90x, F100. The other one is a beer can, and monster, good luck, on a photowalk half day, i do have back issues, couldn't carry this all time.

    • @rileyphotos
      @rileyphotos  Год назад +1

      Hey great to hear from you, and I totally agree about weight. I’ve been a full time pro photographer since 1984, and back then, boy did we know about heavy cameras. When you went to photograph a football game with an FM2, with a motor drive attachment, and a 300 2.8, you needed scaffolding to help you hold it. I was fit a supple in those days, but a Billingham bag with two bodies, two drives, and primes like the 180 2.8, and 105 1.8, not to mention a Metz 45ct1 flash and shoulder mounted battery pack. By heck, the camera mounting bracket on that was heavier than my Zfc! I can tell you that by 25, I was suffering from ‘posties shoulder’ and it’s never really gone away. These days, I love my z 24-200mm 4-6.3. It’s as light as a feather. Sure I have to up the iso for longer zooms sometimes, but the weight trade off is worth it, and it never comes off the Z6ii body, so never have to deal with dust on the sensor. Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it 👍🏻

      @@rileyphotos Hey Riley, i've (sadly) sold my FM2 into 2015. 😞 I only have via Nikon 35mm AF SLRs, no manual, since my fave SLRs are from two different brands. But AF, i love to shoot Nikon, way more than Canon...i was never been a fan of the so-called "Thumbwheel", and prefer two ordinary dials instead. 🙂 As for especially "bad weather" SLR, i use a cheap Nikon SLR, which survived fog and snowfall with flying colors. I always took care about the time to acclimatize the camera, and wiped off the snow from the body and lens, there was no fogging inside the cheap zoom, i am always using a quality protection filter. Yes, back then the gear was way heavy, just think F4 or F5 with the 80-200/2.8 ED....it's a tank. Really appreciate your comment - i wish a fine weekend, riley !

    ...exactly what are you comparing here? Different lenses on different cameras-and to make things even more complicated, you have varying saturation, contrast, and exposure settings, which muddle the well-deserved reputations of Nikon and Fuji color science. While I truly admire the timeless Fuji 'look,' in this case, the subtle elegance of Nikon's renderings (in my humble-not-opinion) clearly outshines it...

    • @rileyphotos

    Whileas the physical aperture is the same (hereby: F2.8) the DoF isn't. To be fair, F2.8 via APS-C (Fujifilm) would be like F4 onto the 35mm D810, so in order to have a 1:1 comparable DoF, you must stop down the Nikon 80-200/2.8 to F4, for equal DoF to the Fujifilm. It's apples vs oranges, riley.
