Honorable mention is that the screen you watch this content on is going to make a huge difference in your opinion.
Correct
Its very likely you are using that same screen later for image editing though
If these were not side by side, but given to people separately, like 15 minutes apart, over 90% will say it's the same picture.
More or less true. But after taking a lot of pictures with my camera, I can definitely recognise it's colors and grain between other cameras. If you prefer colors from a certain camera, it's less work to do in the post processing.
Not true at all not if you're an actual photographer you can see the difference in the punch of colors and how it handled Sky slightly different and slight Warmness. Helps when the younger generation of photographers actually spend some time looking at photo history
Shot canon over 15 yrs and moved recently to fuji because I think they are more compact and have a cool interface....but I choose A for most jpegs😢😂
I picked mostly Fuji. Surprising for the JPG test, I picked a lot of Provia, which is probably one of my least used simulations in general. I must give it another try. I normally use Classic Chrome😁
Same here! I've been neglecting Provia, but it seems like I chose Provia more than Classic Chrome.
Same here! Would try out Provia next time
Me too, but I usually prefer Astia.
Almost 1 year and never used provia! Velvia, Pro Neg high, Acros Y are used the most. Please share when is classic chrome better.
@ChrisWhiskey haha, same. At the raw, I've picked mostly Fuji's only 2 canon. Over the Jpegs, I've also only picked 2 canon, but only 3 classics chrome which I've used the most ever since my switched and the rest provia.... It definitely deserved more of our usage other than classics chrome.. Thanks for the heads up @Denae & Andrew
Raw: Canon, JPG: Fuji. Seems I'm consistent, with Leica I also went for RAW and JPG for Fuji.
Same here
@@omar260271 in raw you can adjust quality of image , by sharpening or desharpeninh you make sony to nikon or nikon to sonu
But real comparison is done only in jpeg
As a Fuji shooter, I picked Canon colours for all raw images and most of jpegs, which actually makes me consider switching to Canon. There is definitely a difference. Another note is that Canon's raw images render the subjects on focus in the foreground lighter whilst rendering the objects in the background darker compare to Fuji which does the opposite.
Canon and Nikon have the best color sciences of all the popular brands in my opinion (but are behind Hasselblad and the Leica flagship cameras). Canon renders skin tones in a very pleasing way. Carl Zeiss and Leica lenses have wonderful colors when the lighting is good. Fuji has the film simulations and nice retro design look. You can always adjust the colors if you have a good and calibrated monitor.
For me negligible differences. I'm a Fuji shooter. I just love their camera bodies and lenses. Thanks for the test and results.
Michael Schmitt You and me both.
+1
Noticed the same. This made me realize that if it weren’t for the 50mp of the 5DS R I would have no qualms going back to the preferable Fuji body 👍🏻
I'm surprised that in raw I very consistently choose Canon, but jpeg it's almost always Fuji.
Oh, and Lightroom gives better results with Canon, in my opinion. Capture1 is good with the Fuji.
This is another of those "finally someone did this" tests.
For portrait in the XT3 I used ProNegHi the most, especially in verdant settings. Otherwise I'm usually in Classic Chrome.
Canon has always been excellent at skin tones though.
I'm a Canon fanboy, but I liked Fuji images more, lolol
In my opinion (obviously), they both look great, and I've owned both brands and color was the least of my worries. Currently own an X-T3 and have owned a C100 and EOSM. all great.
RAW I liked A and C equally. For JPG I again liked A and C equally. What I've learned from here is that the process decisions will have a bigger impact than a particular brand. Thank you for doing this test! I'm considering my future camera options and this helps me understand what I should or shouldn't be emphasizing in my decisions. Thank you!!!
Focused only on jpegs, picked B's and C's only. Expected Canon to be one of them. Surprised!
I was able to pick out the canons by the yellow hues that push towards orange. It makes for nice skin tones which I think is the reason so many people think of Canon as portrait/people cameras. With that said, there's no reason you couldn't make a really similar color profile and apply it to all the Fuji images to get the exact same look.
i got to say i have really grown to love the base color outout of the Fujis.
I used to shoot Nikon, then Canon, now Fuji. I think all three are perfectly acceptable (and in this case, both Canon and Fuji mirrorless.) But I am surprised by how subtle the differences were to me in viewing the RAW images. I do love Provia and shoot it as a standard in my Fuji jpegs. But it just goes to show you how good modern cameras are across the board.
Your comments at the end are dead on...they are really close. You should do one where they are shot on the same camera and just say it’s different cameras. I would bet that people will perceive a difference.
It's your job as a photographer to be able to perceive differences when do you start actually looking at the history of photography your visual vocabulary gets more complex that little trick would never work on me
This confirms a lot of things for me. I moved from Canon t4i to Fuji XE3, i adore the fuji jpegs, but i miss what i could get from the canon RAW files, especially with lightroom. I find C1 weird to work with, especially with colors.
Fuji for people, Canon for nature, Nikon for both. I own the 3 brands, always grab my Fuji X-100 T for family gatherings ansd street photography.
I only have a canon set-up right now, and I always picked B or C, favoring B for the most part. This is such an eye-opener. Wow! I've been planning to switch to Fuji for a week now, and this is definitely the green light. Thanks!
Being a Fujifilm user, 70% preference went to Fuji's Provia, 30% to Canon standard. None to Classic Chrome. I'm relieved I can keep using my Fuji gear.
No you must buy expensive leica if you want to be a real photographer🤷😀 you must make sure to wear it around your neck make a piece of jewelry instead of taking pictures👍👌😃😃
I liked the canons better. I had the Fuji and can’t believe I shot everything CC. I can’t believe how much better Provia was in this test. Awesome vid !
I have used Fuji for about 3 years now , several times I have considered Sony or Cannon full frame cameras with higher megapixel counts . Then I see someone do a simple but effective comparison and once again I’m sold on Fuji, their jpegs are without a rival and I believe their color science is just more natural to what our eye actually sees. Also so far I have found no legitimate reason to go to full frame , the performance I get from Fuji is more than adequate. Nice video thanks
I was surprised to find out I actually prefer mostly Canon RAW files from Lightroom and some Fujifilm RAW files in Capture1, not even one Fujifilm RAW with LR. I did prefer mostly JPGs from Fujifilm though. I shoot exclusively Fujifilm from the times of Fujifilm S3/S5 Pro DSLR
Raw: 10 out of 13, picked A/D. JPG: 9 out of 13, picked C. I own a Canon M6 ii with Sigma 16mm f1.4. I'll only shoot RAW from now on...
I wrote down my answers and I was surprised to know at the end of the video that ALL my picks was Fuji! Yes even the RAW files I voted for B & C (Fuji)! But for the Jpeg you can clearly see the difference. I was a Canon shooter before but I was blown away with Fuji colors especially Jpegs!
I found out that I prefer warmer images generally, yet didn't always prefer more contrast.
Looking at the raw files, I chose 40% Canon, and 60% Fuji.
For the jpegs, I chose 50% Provia, 25% Classic Chrome, and 25% whatever Canon profile was used.
Raw files were a toss up with Fuji doing slightly better than Canon. Now, jpegs is where Fuji really shines!
I'm a fuji shooter and was thinking to switch to Canon .. almost all pictures I liked in this video are Fuji photos!! So I think I need sometime to reuse my Fuji again maybe there's something I miss .. Thank you so much for your honest reviews regarding those 2 cameras 😊
What most people never consider is how the lenses also resolve color. Most people aren't aware that the glass on your camera can also favor certain colors in the spectrum of light before it even reaches the sensors. I've not seen one review that ever talks about this.
See 2:30
Loved this test! I was giddy as a schoolgirl when I saw it in my feed and it didn't disappoint. I'm also very happy my results were much closer to 50-50 than I expected. I thought canon would win but there was no real winner between provia and canon. Which is great news because I recently switched from canon to fuji even though I thought I loved canon colors more. Thanks so much for this comparison. Also: you dont talk to much. Sorry if I ruined your day by saying that 😊
I have shot mainly with Nikon but I have been looking longingly at the Fuji system so I thought this test might be revealing. Here is the breakdown: On the RAW test I chose the Canon Lightroom capture almost exclusively (7 choices) with the only exceptions being Canon Capture 1 (2 choices) and 3 other images undecided. On the JPG test Fuji Provia lead the pack (5 choices) followed by Canon Standard (3 choices), Fuji Classic Chrome (1 choice) and 4 undecided.
My last 3 cameras have all been Fuji. XE1,XT1,XT2 and I still use Apple Aperture. Results for me: RAW 9xA, 0xB, 3xC, 3xD. In the JPEGS 5xA, 3xB, 4xC . I've liked the RP from a far, thinking 24-105 and 35 could make a all I need 2 lens kit, I might have to take a longer look.
I loved the Canon ones...but originally chose Fuji for the jpeg outputs and colors when I made the switch to digital.
I did set up my camera to shoot slightly warmer though, and I feel this warmth skews my shots towards the more 'natural' feel of the Canon shots (as shown here)
Thanks!
I mostly picked Canon.... is it because I shoot Canon? Who knows! I liked some of the Fuji's too.
Came across this video a year later but I picked Canon every time for both and I’ve shot Fuji for about 6 years. Interesting.
Been thinking about switching from my Canon RP to a Fuji. Mainly the X100V or X-E4. I think I’ve gotten bored with the full frame look and design/controls of the Canon... Even though it’s big, the lenses are still huge and it feels like a chore bringing it. Do you think this jump is reasonable and will be refreshing and worth the “hassle”?
I find it interesting that I chose an even mix of Canon and Provia in the JPG test, but I have recently been shooting almost everything with Classic Chrome and loving it.
I knew I was going to pick mostly Fuji especially for skintones. Haha. I'm a Canon user, but I've already accepted the fact that Fuji has one of the most interesting and attractive color science in the market (at least, IMO). Surprisingly though, in this test, I actually picked Canon where it matters to me, like in the photos where there are reds and blues. The color of the sky is also important to me, and in my eyes, I think Canon rendered the most natural sky color. So, well, thank God or else, I would be asking myself everyday if I should jump to Fujifilm. Lol
For raw I picked 6-As, 3-Bs, 3-Cs, 1-D. For jpg I picked 6-As, 3-Bs, 4-Cs, 0-Ds
I feel yours is an honest one. When people say hey I picked mostly Fuji the "best colors" you wonder.
I'm glad you actually took notes. Kudos!
Ok, Here are my results:
Raw: fuji 7, canon 6.
JPG: Canon STD 1, Fuji CC 4, Fuji Provia 8.
So, my conclusion is if you shoot raw, they are the same. if you shoot jpg, use fuji Provia.
RAW it was 50-50, but JPG it was nearly a landside in favor of Fujifilm.
As a jpg shooter and Fuji owner, I only check jpg test. After checking 3 sets of jpg, it's quite obvious to me B is CC(faded color) ; C is provia(strong contrast and saturation); A is canon(less contrast). I like C most, but still want to buy RP for reliable eye focus. X-H1 eye detection is really poor, always out of focus when shoot at F1.4
I am a Canon shooter: 14 Canon : 12 Fuji for RAW. For JPEG, Provia crushed the others with 9 picks, the other two had 2 each.
JPG option C was my favorite out of them all during the blind test. RAW included.
What I've noticed with Canon images that I've shot over the years is that I seldom need to adjust the jpegs, they just come out of the camera looking good. I like the sharpness of the images I shoot with my Fuji cameras, but I find I need to use raw images and spend a lot of time adjusting the colors to get what I want. In particular, I wind up with skies that are too light, too turquoise, with Fuji. The Canon skies always look just right color-wise. And with Sony I've noticed the skies being blown out if there are any clouds in the frame. Nikon color tends to be a bit cooler than Canon, which is better for skin tones since Canon tends to be oversaturated, too red or yellow. But, for shots without people, I like Canon's punched-up color, it's like Kodachrome. Nikon color is good, but more like Ektachrome. Sony color is hit or miss and tricky to adjust. I wish I could find all the characteristics I like in one camera. I have too many cameras, but I've more or less settled on Nikon. I like their bodies and lenses, but would love to have the fully articulated screens on them.
*RAW--Canon -7.5 / Fuji-5.5... JPG--Canon 3/Fuji Prov-7/Fuji CC-3* I was not surprised that I picked more fuji jpegs but was not expecting canon raw results. I shoot both Canon and Fujifilm.
RAW
8 - Canon C1
7 - Canon LR
6 - Fuji LR
3 - Fuji C1
JPG
8 - Fuji Provia
4 - Canon STD
2 - Fuji CC
So RAW winner for me is Canon
JPG - Fuji
Raw: mixed bag
JPG: Fuji Provia consistently
I usually take JPEGs, and dont edit much.
Exactly what I came up with! Those RAW files are versatile, but that Provia...
I enjoy these comparison videos BUT..I wish you would label them after the initial “blind” comparison. Otherwise, we have to rely on a screenshot of the video where you reveal which is which. Great videos!
70% of what I got was Canon. That's what I was aiming for it wasn't really hard to notice. Although the picture on the right was usually sharper than the left so I had to squint my eyes to reveal the colors. And if you remember cannons colors are more vibrant and more contrast😉
I’ve been working my way to buy a professional camera for hybrid use and have been watching a lot of your videos on Fujifilm’s look as a guide. So, thank you for these!
I enjoy your detailed and distinguished explainings. Most sheeple want the direct “buy this” instruction, but those types of videos aren’t the types that foster artistry at its core. You have to know your tool and your videos help people find those tools that best suit them.
I love your stuff, keep helping us make the best decisions for our artistic selves...even if we complain about it.
I picked only only fuji cause I already know that canon is warmer straight out . the whites are yellowish , when in fuji the whites are obsolete.
Funny ,i scored almost everything in raw.The key to this was the orange faces (Canon) vs the cooler skin tones with the red tint(Fuji) .The only exception was the girl on the green background .Canon colors are great ,but i'm pretty sure many Canon owners are fed up with the company ,that's why their moving to Fuji.
As a Canon shooter considering to switch to Fuji, I have some remarks.
Regarding the RAW comparison.
..
- Have I spotted the Canon colors in each pair? Sure did!
- Would I choose the Canon over Fuji? In Lightroom, Canon is clearly wining. In Capture 1, Fuji looks way better but isn't necessarily better looking than Canon, maybe different, in a good way !
On the other hand, I was surprised about the JPG's. The Fuji Provia is as much as enjoyable as the Canon Standard, both with it's own flavor!
I always shoot RAW, because I like to manipulate my photos, but I really consider the Fuji system for those great JPG's straight out of the camera.
I was about to get a Fujifilm as my first serious camera because of the spec and its form, then I found this video.
Like 90% of raw images, I prefer the Canon ones. For JPG images, I like Fuji Provia and Canon. It's quite clear at this point that I might prefer Canon over Fujifilm.
I went to the store and tested them both Canon and Fujifilm in real life. It just confirms that I prefer the Canon colors.
With my noob amateur eyes, I found Fujifilm has a slightly cool magenta-ish tint on it while Canon is more toward a warm yellow orangy boost which is more flattering to my eyes.
Thank you for making this video. It helped me pick my first camera 🙏.
Thank you for pronouncing the word bokeh correctly. The word etcetera, however, is pronounced as it’s written eTcetera, and not as some people mispronounce it “ekcetera”. eTS... not “eks”... T would never yield the sound K, obviously.
I hate it when I get busted by the grammar police. I promise to do better next time officer! ;)
Provia is just a delight. Once again, the raws are too close.
Very interesting. The results of the test were exactly what I expected for me. I preferred the Fuji Lightroom file 8 to 5 and the Fuji capture one file 8 to 5. For jpegs I classic chrome won out with provia second and canon last. This is exactly what I thought my preference was.
I started on a Canon t3 and moved to an Xpro 1 initially back when it released. Switched to a 5d classic before upgrading to 5d mk iii. For years After that I bounced back and forth between more Fuji (xe 1 and 2 and xt1), Sony A7 1, X100 and x100s, Nikon d750, rx1, and now I shoot a7 iii and X100F. Fuji colors always kept me coming back even though the af performance left something to be desired for what I shoot. Now that they might be good enough (xt3) I’m thinking of coming back but the a7 iii performance is just so good it never lets me down even though I don’t enjoy shooting it and I’m not a fan of processing their files to my taste as compared to almost straight out of camera for my X100F. I don’t do paid shoots anymore, mostly for documenting family so the Fuji line is really tempting me again. Decisions decisions.
In blind tests I consistently pick canon, even across different camera models and generations.. It's crazy. But definitely agree that when you shoot raw it really doesn't matter because you are probably making tweaks regardless or using some sort of workflow or preset.
I shoot with Classic Chrome %50 of the time. I'm shocked to see how many times I chose Provia over CC. Also as a Capture One editor I am still shocked to see how moody and breezy lightroom gives the feeling I should try lightroom again sometime.
I was hesitating between Fuji and Canon for my first camera so I made the test. My results are : 14 Canon and 10 Fuji but for jpeg is 8 Fuji and 5 Canon. So I guess I will have to go with Canon ?
Btw, I really love the waulity aspect of your pictures. Great work !
Great video Andrew. Raw 14 Fuji, 12 Canon but frankly in Raw it is as you said irrelevant really. Jpegs were more interesting as like yourself I shoot Jpeg with Raw back up for the times when I haven’t got more important things to do like be with my family. So basically hardly ever. This was quite interesting as I choose 2 Canon and Fuji 6 CC and 5 Provia. I thought it would have been closer but as I am so happy with Fuji jpegs I will carry on getting joy from my photography side by side with my family and not repeat the selfish isolated life I had when I didn’t value what I has around me, my wife children and grand children. Who better to be kind to before cameras.
I would say that I am a Fuji fan over Canon, but I chose Canon images almost twice as much in the RAW categories.
Great experiment. I shoot Fuji, but only for the last few months. Before then it was an old Nikon D40X at home and Canons for work. It was hard to get out of my head and try to not think about which brand was which while going through this, but many of them were very similar.
I also think what you shoot plays into this. I love the high contrast I get with the Fuji- but I mostly shoot landscape and travel shots. I like the softness of Canon portraits a lot- and I would probably lean in that direction if I did a lot of wedding and family photos.
nice...I liked the canons almost always...BUT...i only own fuji cameras...AND LOVE them!!! I always shoot RAW so I don't care but was a little shocked tho. I just love the looks of the fuji cameras design !
What i learned from this is that i hate Lightroom's colors. And that i liked the Fuji colors more on all of the examples
RAW was literally 13/13, JPEG was a consistent win for Fuji: 7 Provia, 2 Classic Chrome, only 4 Canon.
I also picked 7 Provia, 2 Classic Chrome and 4 Canon.
@@catmandu6776 Nice!
For me, Fuji really shows a nice contrast in SOOC JPEG files when compared to Canon (as seen in this video). As if Fujifilm adds a tonal curve (S-curve) to their JPEG files, which I like.
Dang! I shoot fuji and I was spot on picking them for both RAW (RAF) and the JPGs. Thanks for posting!
I shot with Canon 6D and few Fuji cameras. I decided to choose which is Fuji's. I got correct 14/26 (RAW) and 12/13 (JPEG).
For RAWs i was exactly 50%-50% but when it came to JPGs i chose ALL Fuji...which is exactly what i expected and also what i wanted it to be haha. i have been debating between canon and Fuji for my first camera ever but i think i just made up my mind. Fuji-XT3 it is!!!
I was all over the board. Raw, A-6 B-7 C-5 D-6. JPG, A-7 B-2 C-4. It was hard to just focus on the color for me, as the sharpness interfered with my brain. So, focus is important to a photo. Very good test!
I only did the JPEG comparisons and I picked almost an even number of each. I shoot Canon and have not shot with a Fuji. When shooting jpegs with my Canon cameras the picture style I use the most is Faithful, especially for portraits. I suspect that if you had done this test with Canon Faithful rather than Canon Standard, it would have been extremely hard to see any difference between the Canon and the Fuji. Canon Standard tends to render reds a reddish-orange. Canon Faithful is much more a true red, with no orange tinge. For this reason I use Faithful much more and it seems more similar to the Fuji red to me. ALSO ... which Canon body and lens did you use? I have several Canon bodies, both FF and crop, and the colors are a little different coming from each body. From your jpeg samples I chose Canon for every portrait image. Love the skin tones, looked more natural to me than the Fuji skin tones. Fuji is a great camera I'm sure, but after watching your video I can say, for portraits at least, I still prefer Canon. And my itch to try Fuji has subsided a bit.
Picked B and C consistently. Very convinced by Fuji lately. Also loved your b&w comparison with the Leicas.
As you expected, my results :
- 50/50 on RAW test
- massive Fuji on the JPEG (not even one canon pick)
Thanks a lot for this video, reinforcing my current usage lol
Make sure you have COLOUR-CALIBRATED YOUR DISPLAY and have set the white balance, contrast and brightness appropriate to your current room lighting! (I can't believe they didn't say that in the video!) Also, if you hit pause on RUclips, it changes the tones whilst the menu is up, until it goes away after a few seconds of resuming playing. My trick was to set the video speed to 0.5x to give me more time to look over the photos without having to keep pausing!
Sure. Color calibration is a good idea. But if we're honest, it's all a bit of a crapshoot. We all see color differently, lenses affect it and there are too many variables to address they adequately, YT compression on video affects it also. The best we can say is that the colors relative to each other here are indicitive of patterns you might see yourself.
In RAW, it was a darn near split/tie. In JPG, Classic Chrome was almost always dead last. Then Canon and Provia tied.
Wow the Canon blew me away in RAW, I love the warmth (I'm a Kodak fanboy). There was the odd green skin tone but overall I preferred the Canon.
Thank you for your blind test comparison.
I shoot color jpeg images with Fuji X-Pro1 and X-Pro2 digital mirrorless.
I also shoot color jpeg images with Canon G11 and G15 digital compacts.
I have never performed a blind test comparison because I have been very satisfied with the images from both.
My votes:
D for RAW, A (maybe C, definitely not B) for JPEG. For me Canon has live colors, but it's not over saturated at the same time and handles yellow better.
Ok, Canon+CaptureOne for Raw, Canon or Fuji/Provia for JPEG.
I right at the beginning assumed Canon is A. The colors are just so different you can not go wrong.
RAW (once per subject)
Canon = 9, Fujifilm = 5 (some frames I liked both so each gained a point)
JPEG
Fujifilm = 9, Canon = 8 (some frames liked both and Canon exclusively on skin tone)
Now one note: Canon colors on mirrorless differs from colors found on DSLRs. This being said, if Fujifilm solves the skin tones then it gains my confidence.
Thank you again, guys!
Only played with the Raw images blind test. Guessed correctly as the A is Canon & B is Fuji. C & D's color is a bit unnatural and JPG is hard to tell after the process. I was using Sony for a long time, great resolution but not so good colors. Then I switched to Fuji and think that they have good colors. But after compare to the Canon's, they have more accurate original colors output rather than Fuji's saturated colors (just by a little bit). Besides the dynamic range is better I think for the Canon's :)
LR Canon 8/Fuji 5
C1 Canon 7/ Fuji 6
Jpg Canon 2 / Fuji 11 (C.Chrom 4 /Provia 7)
Great play, Great video ✌🏻✅
Nearly 100% Canon but I wanted a Fuji camera 😫
It's bloody annoying, isn't it? I came here hoping I'd find it didn't matter to me and I could choose Fuji without any worries. It didn't even matter whether it was Lightroom or Capture 1, even though the difference between LR & C1 was often greater than the Fuji vs Canon difference. The differences are usually subtle at least. Interestingly, I found I was even more consistently Canon with the RAW files, so shooting RAW wouldn't solve the problem. (My dilemma is that the 4K on the Canon M6 Mark II is pretty bad (very soft and poor in low light due to subsampling rather than oversampling or pixel binning) (and also 4K is poor on the Canon RP even) so I would have to make big video sacrifices for Canon. Literally, with Canon my only solution would be the Canon 1D X Mark II, but "4K" also describes the price tag!! 😁)
A fuji camera with Canon colors?
Same here!
The real differences would appear during the manipulation of the RAW, and the range of dynamic range, not just looking at a still image in one state.
The Canon "standard" profile against those two Fuji profiles is definitely not fair, because I find the standard profile criminally boring. That being said, I consistently (about 80% of the time) found the Canon to be the least boring in this shootout. Very disappointing really, because everybody talks about how great Fuji's colors are, and I am so ready to ditch my Canon for something more modern and "with the times", but here they often looked very sterile and void of emotion and drama. I'd still consider getting a Fuji camera, just because their bodies are so incredible!
Keeping in mind I viewed this on an HD TV the colors I liked best were:For Jpegs - Canon 11, Fuji 3 of which 2 were provia and one chrome. For Raw it was quite different: looking at Lightroom 10 Fuji and 3 Canon; In Capture One Fuji 5, Canon 8. Keep in mind that I was looking for the most faithful rendition, not the most saturated or contrast laden and no doubt a color balanced monitor would impact things as one can play with the settings on TV's in a million ways. Additionally in the pictures with the little girl on the porch the skin looked odd on the forehead to me which may have been shadows and in some pictures the greenery colors were too far from normal for my taste. Again, this is a TV. Some might jump at higher levels of saturation or contrast but I was looking for faithful colors and also a more reasonable, to me, contrast. Not to say I don't jack up the colors or contrast, but for just basic comparison kind of ooc. For raw settings in LR, what was done?
At, RAW its all Canon for me. I would really love to see Nikon in that comparison.
I didn't get D as Canon in RAW (I hit A) but I wasn't surprised by the JPEGs, you just cannot beat Canon colour, especially for portraits, it jumps out at you. Its the reason I'm moving back to Canon for portraits. Its just beautiful.
Almost everyone on the raw was Canon. On the jpeg-side Fuji-provia won clearly, but not as clearly as the Canon (LR) won in the raw section :) Fun test.
Ignoring the fact that full frame will always be wider at the same focal length, I can tell immediately, because Fuji always has less contrast with paler skin tones and raised shadows and more pastel-like colors and a cooler tone to the colors.
Yup, glass makes the difference but you do indeed have to "Oh well" it. This guy and another on YT are truly the "Ken Rockwells" of RUclips photography reviews.
Fuji just has something magical for me. I was right on with the jpegs. I have to buy a fuji camera.
I'm a Canon/Lightroom user. RAW: 11 out of 13 I picked Canon Lr; 2 out of 13 I picked Fuji Lr. JPEG: 6 out of 13 I picked Canon Std; 6 out of 13 I picked Fuji Provia; 1 out of 13 I picked Fuji Classic Chrome. Note I'm also colorblind; can't pass a colorblind test. C'est la vie, non? Great blind test comparison!
My result:
RAW

Just as well as I recently got myself an X-T30!!
I have seen your video and....
I am not surprised at all
I knew From the start that
A / D = Canon.
You can see by the orange colors on the car and the kid....canon tend to be more orangish and Fuji tend to be more Blue light (like Panasonic).
Needless to say, this video is a must for beginners and those who do not understand the processing of sensors by the different companies...
Therefore you have done an amazing job by enlighten the "un-enlightens".
Thank you
Congrats - a very interesting test! Of course, I realise that it's to a large degree down to how my monitor is set up/tuned (Dell U2410f). But for the fun of it I decided so (sometimes I liked the pictures equally, for different reasons, so the numbers do not add up):
*RAW*
Canon Lr = 8
Canon C1 = 9
Fuji Lr = 8
Fuji C1 = 6
*JPG*
Canon std = 3
Fuji cl = 4
Fuji pr = 10
I do not play with RAWs (no time no patience no need to) so when chosing my next camera Fujifilm X-s10 will be _seriously_ considered.
As a JPG shooter with Fuji, I am pleased that I picked 7 Provia, 3 CC, and 3 Canon. It is confirmed I prefer Fuji colour. Love to see this against Nikon which I shot for 50+ years.
I realise I am late to this, but really interesting test. I use Fujifilm, but previously was a Canon user. I love both systems, I get nice results with Fujifilm but would subjectively say I love the Canon colour palettes and something about their atmosphere. I was interested to find that in the RAW images, I predominantly opted for Canon by a significant majority. When it came to JPEGs, it was completely the opposite - Provia all the way. I do use Provia for the majority of my colour Fujifilm work. Thanks for putting this out.
Me too!
I ended up picking mostly Fuji pictures, with no expectations.
I only did the RAWS, I did not try to guess which camera, just marked down the one I preferred each time. my results were basically equal likes on both brands Canon LR 9 Fuji LR 4 canon capture one 4 Fuji capture one 9. I use Fuji mainly now but still use my canon full frame on occasion
Well, it looks like I have the wrong camera system, in the JPGs I picked either Canon or Provia, and for raw I only picked Fuji twice
