Thanks fo the review! Very informative!
Thanks for watching! Hope this helped you make your decision for future cameras.
To take only photos, which one would you recommend? Which of the two has a small advantage over the photos? Please
Thanks to both of you, I was waiting for it! I still have a doubt and I'm wondering, do you think the Fuji will bring more soul to the Picts and video ? or it is possible to achieve the same color results after grading on both camera ? Many thanks, going to the store today, I need to choose ! :)
wondering the same
It is possible to get similar results after color grading, but we tried our best to give you results that showed what it looked like without messing too much with their color science. Both great cameras depends on what kind of photography you are interested in doing. Video recording is limited on the Fuji and it also doesn't have the flip up screen.
great Comparison. is there a difference in sensor size?
What camera currently available in a market would you recommend for making wedding videography ? Thanks.
Great video. Very informative and very entertaining! Thanks guys!
Glad you enjoyed it! Let us know which camera you are thinking about!
@@TheSlantedLens I have the a6400 coming tomorrow, but I'm still going back and forth and questioning whether I went with the right choice. I'm interested in mostly stills (very little video). I shoot a lot of indoor family pics and really prefer jpeg without needing to do much editing. I'm starting fresh with lenses (I had an NEX 5T with a couple of lenses that was stolen over the summer). I loved the look of jpegs straight out of the camera on the x-t20, but I had difficulty focusing on moving subjects in regular indoor low light and missed a lot of shots for the week I had it, so I returned it. Also tried a Panasonic GX-85, and really didn't like how it handled indoor pics (beautiful outside though). So, I'm still going back and forth - the Fujifilm X-T30 because I really liked the look of out of camera jpegs of the X-T20 (colors, how noise looked with ISO 3200 and 6400, etc), but I wanted better auto focus tracking. Or the a6400 because of the better autofocus tracking but I'm worried about the colors because I never really liked the colors of my NEX-5T and how it will handle noise in jpegs when shooting at those higher ISOs in lower light. Any insight you guys can provide would be much appreciated!
@Coo Koo I didn't like the X-T30 and sent it back shortly after buying it. I had trouble getting in focus pictures with it. Not sure why. I LOVED the a6400 (my concern over good colors with Sony jpegs turned out to be unfounded with the newer models). I eventually sold the a6400 and upgraded to the a6600 for in body stabilization, better battery, and better grip. Sorry I can't provide better info on the X-T30, but as I said, I loved the a6400, and the a6600 is pretty much the perfect camera for me.
@Coo Koo I shoot almost entirely still photography. I shoot primarily family pics. The a6600 is the first DSLR camera I've had with IBIS; it seems pretty effective to me (especially when shooting in low light with a non-stabilized lens). For example, around Christmas 2019 (when I still had the a6400 and my a6600 first arrived), I used both cameras with my Sigma 30 1.4 lens to shoot ornaments on our tree with the only light being the bulbs on the tree. I could handhold and get sharp pics with the a6600 with a shutter speed of 1/15. With the a6400 without IBIS the best I could do with reasonably sharp images was a shutter speed of 1/40. As I get older, my hands aren't as steady as they used to be, so for me, the IBIS in the a6600 helps. Regarding the Fuji models, I can't help you there. If I were going for one, I'd choose the XS10 (because of IBIS and much better grip size). Like I said before, I couldn't take sharp pics with the X-T30 no matter what I tried. The autofocus on the Sony a6400/a6600 is much, much better than anything else I've tried (including the X-T30), but that wouldn't affect me taking sharp pictures when focus was achieved (especially with static objects). It could have been the grip was so small on thee X-T30, but regardless, it wasn't for me. Best of luck to you.
Thank you for the review. It's interesting. I'm waiting for my X-T30 by preorder as a replacement of X-T20, but still not sure about the choice, probably EOS RP or 6400 will be better. About comparing ISO, all Fuji color profiles, except Enterna has a strong curve, that makes the image more darken, but allows to save more details in the light. If you compared raw files, it's important to notice which raw converter was be used, because Adobe Lightroom badly works with Fuji files, generates fewer details and provides strange noise.
Hmm what made you decided on pre-ordering the X-T30?
I had been a user of X-T20 for the last 2 years. Also, I have a couple of nice Fuji lenses 23/1.4 and 56/1.2. I hope that delivery will be on time and I can get my preordered camera tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
I can’t decide between the canon 80d, lumix g85, Sony a6400, and the Fuji T X30 for 1080P video I know you probably won’t respond but if you see this please help.
why did you choose Sony Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 for a6400 and not the sony 35mm f1.8,lens, it would also have been fairer to compare to the fuji 35mmf2 you chose (same price, same aperture)
@Foto4Max agree its a no brainer to choose the sigma 30mm1.4 over the sony 35mm f2. 8 as it has similar image quality but 2 stops brighter and half the price. (but the sony 35mm f1. 8 is also tempting for OS that compensate for lack of IBIS, extra compactnes and being native that could maybe focus better in video but less sharp, 0.2 stop darker (t2.0 for sony 35 vs t1.8 for the sigma f1.4) and 170$ extra over the sigma 30 - hard to choose but i think i'd sacrifice a bit of image quality and get the OS + compactness of the sony 35mmf1.8 if i had to pick a single all purpose lens for a6400 most side by side comparison between these 2 lens get to this conclusion)
Or just use the same manual lens like kamlan or samyang!
Sir..my main priority is photography...so which one is best for me... (landscape, wedding, protrait, wild)...Sony a6400 or Fuji xt30???...plzz help me
I think the Fuji glass has the slight edge for street photographers but the focusing and buffer swing it to Sony. I considered both but it made sense for me to go Sony because I have an A9.
Thanks for sharing! The Sony a6400 is a great little on the go camera, it was promoted for vlogging, but it's great as a B cam as well.
Regarding buffer, a6400 doesn’t do uncompressed RAW. If you do compressed RAW in Fuji, it can do around 40.
Oh my god, another Fuji vs XXX video. I´m so excited.
We were pretty excited to do this test as well!
@@TheSlantedLens xt3 vs the a6400 quality?
Thank you guys for doing this comparison
You're welcome! Which camera are you more interested in?
@@TheSlantedLens Since I already have A7III and Fuji XT3, among other cameras, I don't see a reason yet to get one or the other. I do agree about grip, it is a problem on every Fuji camera other than XH1. I had to attach an extra grip to XT3 from Day 1. I had XT20, and that required an extra grip as well. And even with extra grip, Sony A6XXX grip is more comfortable in my hand.
However, if I was starting out and had no preference, between the two today, I probably would have gotten A6400, because I have to take lenses into account. And for A6400, I could get very sharp and AFFORDABLE Sigma 16/1.4, 30/1.4 and 56/1.4 and have a nice little kit. XT30 also has a nice little kit of 23/2, 35/2 and 50/2, but I prefer F1.4 over 2.0 especially on a crop
I am surprised that you didn't mention the lense lineup. The Sony APS-C lense lineup looks rather weak.
Definitely something we will keep in mind for next time!
But those skin color in the Fuji make him look sick. More yellowish/ greenish.
I agree, the Sony APS-C lenses are the weakest part of the system. But if you're going to get a Fuji camera, save a bit more money and get the X-T3. Then you get a great APS-C camera with a great lens ecosystem.
The Fuji lens line up is better. Not just in variety but there better built and have great IQ, all the Fuji lenses are specifically designed for APSc with no compromise.
100% agree with the noise test, anything over 1600 iso is hard to use especially if your coming from full frame. Its something that will hit you straight away.
I agree with everyone but the 3rd party Sigma 16, 30 and 56 lenses are out of this world.
I am a follower of the channel and I would like you to reply to my question. It is better for the Sony A7iii or Nikon Z6 photo thanks. For photography
Better buy nothing
4:50 ironic when you tell about autofocus when you are out of focus in this clip :D iso 3200 is bad :D ? omg do you remember iso grain from 5d mark 2 and 3 ?
Sony's Focus system is awesome. That coupled with eye AF...its so fabulous. I just need them to update the 6500.
Agreed it's pretty darn fast and sharp.
Thinking of getting one of these as a companion to my D810. What makes them not 'prosumer'? thanks
What will you use it for? I'll buy one of these (most likely X-T30; better lenses) as a companion for D850. My main use will be short videos and urban photography, which I'm not doing with the D850.
Some missed points is that the Fuji has way less rolling shutter in 4K and also has better out of camera color with their film simulation mode. As someone who has owned the Sony A6300 for a whole year I am very happy with my XT30. And I like shooting with f-log and putting the eterna color profile on after. It’s like a perfect grade right out of the gate.
Great! Thanks for sharing with us your thoughts. :)
Other than the lens choice used for the cameras, it's a great review, just the type that's needed these days. I'd rather go with Sony when not using tripod, but with tripod, I'd probably go Fuji. The Fuji's heavier weight means there's a higher chance of it making a good balance with a heavy lens. For video, I'd rather go with Sony. For it's price point, the Sony, however, could compete well with Fuji XT2, which, unlike the Sony, has weather sealing. I forget if the Sony has touchscreen, but having weather sealing is probably more important than having a touchscreen, at least when you'd want to get into more situations to get more creative photos. The area where Sony might have the lesser-known benefit is when it has to do with lowlight video, especially astro; the Sony can do much longer shutter speeds than 24 fps, which is where the Fuji's limit is. I have been an avid night sky watcher and the ability to use the longer exposures is a hands-down winner for such a niche use.
Why was the opening vlog in an alleyway? Could your next vlog be in front of a bus terminal or in front of a shopping plaza??
Have you used external recorder in video test? I thought that fuji does not allow for internal f-log?
We shot internally in F-Log
Best test ever I seen
Thank you!
Excellent review. I am in the market. The issue that was not addressed is the customer service and support. Fuji is known to maintain firmware updates and from everything that I have read, is way better than Sony in terms of after sale care.
Thx for compare
thanks for watching! which camera would you choose?
I wish you did an overheating test on them both. Also you forgot to mention a very important feature on the Sony No Record Time Limit, this is a big deal for those who need to shoot over 30 min video.
Thanks for bringing that to our attention. We will keep that in mind for next time we compare!
160, 320, 640, 1250 etc these are the true native electronic ISO's. The two stops in between through the range are interpolated from their nearest neighbor. Consider this for you next side by side comparisons.
need review for best landscape camera.
We will keep that in mind! We are having a landscape photography course releasing in April, so stay tuned for that!
Fuji uses a different ISO scale to Sony. Bits a standardized measure that you can look up, si rather than Fuji being optimistic, I would count the opening as user error
We have all the specs for the cameras and lenses listed in the description box.
Great review , thanks. I can get that camera for 620 USD from a professional photographer , used. Is it anything to consider ? Thanks in advance.
Yes it is a great choice and something you should consider. Compare the pricing to other places.
I'll go with the fuji thanks !
Glad that we could help you make the decision :)
Any chance you are related to the Bank JPMorgan? Haha long shot but just in case you never know
Nah, no relation at all.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
XT30 should have the weather sealing too, Weather sealing is one of the best advantage to have!!! Is not it????
Fuji is great but all these little details help the Sony to win.
would you review fujifilm x-s10 vs sony a6400?
I have added it to our list!
Hi which lenses are cheaper comparatively. Fuji or sony
Fuji lenses are generally less expensive than Sony lens.
The Slanted Lens thanks 😊
I use an X-T20 for my night photography and despite some noise (which at night is inevitable) I absolutely love this camera.
Even for my channel vídeos I use it and the image quality is great. Highly recommended. If they had put a flip screen in the X-T30 you would have the almost perfect vlogging camera.
Sweet! Would you upgrade to the X-T30?
@@TheSlantedLens not right now. The X-T20 is still great. I prefer to spend on lens right now.
@@thenightcamera2605 Makes sense. Thanks for watching our video though!
I think where Fujfilm has the advantage is in the lens department. Sony now days seem to treat their APS-C lenses as an after thought. You can of course get Sony full frame lenses to fit onto the Sony but they tend to be a little larger.
Still 2 good cameras
don't forget sigma lens
@@youareawesome8 Yes but how many APS-C lenses do Sigma have? Otherwise you are putting on Sigma full frame lenses and they are bigger than the Sony lenses.
With the Fujifilm lenses, particularly primes, you can easily carry 6-7 lenses in a medium size bag (such as the Billingham 207) with an X-H1. With Sigma lenses you are going to get 2-3 at best generally, 1 if it is the 105mm f/1.4 art.
Also with the Sigma art lenses you are just going to have a massively unbalanced camera mounted to the a6400.
one key difference if you're interested in shooting video is the harsh time limit on the fuji vs the unlimited on on the sony.
That time limit is a huge problem with cameras that have it. For doing doc style interviews it is a killer.
@@TheSlantedLens it always gets left out of these glowing reviews i didn't learn about it until i bought one.
did not mention the fuji can only shoot 10mins in 4K and 15mins in 1080p
Mmm yeah we didn't. Thanks for bringing it up though!
As a landscape shooter I would go for fuji, they've great lenses for ApS-c. But currently I'm happy with full frame Sony, it's better than any other system right now in 2019
You can use several hundred various lenses on the A6400. How many can you use on the Fuji?
Sony, Zeiss, Tamron, Sigma, Samyang Lenses
You missed what for me is the major issue - LENSES! The Sony has three native, incredibly sharp, f1.4 Sigma lenses available that are IMHO sharper and cheaper than any Sony, Zeiss or Fuji lens. Not to mention all of the FE GM telephotos you can use on the Sony.
when you turn on the dynamic range of 400 Fuji, details and color will be preserved in the highlights up to the value of +5 ev. in the shadows, in principle, nothing changes because of the noise ... in general, you are wrong and the dynamic range of the matrix is higher for Fuji in order for this matrix display ...
things are different with shadows and the same 4-5 ev works differently because of the noise in them, in contrast to overexposures in which, with a larger value, the light starts to degrade, and the detail does not fall
The xt30 has double the metadata in video...200mpbs....better quality
You forgot one of the most important things, which one is more fun to use, for me (coming from a Nikon FF camera) I enjoyed the look and feel of the Fuji (have an XT3) which has me engaged every time I shoot. On the Sony it feels like it’s more automated and non interesting in regards to layout. Just my opinion, but the retro look of the Fuji’s always captivated me.
Thanks for sharing your insight with us! It is a very classic look and style.
I was convinced going into the store the other day I would walk out with the fuji, but after playing around and holding both cameras, the Sony was just 100x more comfortable to shoot with.
Thanks for sharing with us! Tag us in the photos you take @theslantedlens
Nice review guys, but I'd suggest you ditch the dissolves during the on-camera talking segments.
Sony a6400: Better real-time eye AF tracking, plus animal eye AF tracking coming soon, better grip, better buffer, flip up screen, no record limit, built-in flash, and then there's dedicated lens adapters ( Metabones, Sigma MC-11, LA-EA1 &2). Also EVF has higher refresh rate.
Xt30 also has built in flash
@@MM-gx8fd You're right. Thanks 👍👍
and ugly af
Actually XT-30 has much better buffer , you can watch the comparison on different chanel
wat about a6400 vs xt3?? image quality
Sony still needs some more decent APSC lenses.
I’m a Sony shooter but if I was only going to have a crop system then having a much bigger selection of quality compact lenses would push me towards the Fuji.
Have you looked at Sigma's F1.4 (16, 30, 56) trio for Sony E mount? They are some of the sharpest lenses around, and at such great prices. Fuji 16mm 1.4 is $750, the Sigma is $399, granted Fuji version is weather resistant but still, that's a huge price difference.
@@evelation5223 no, I shoot Sony full frame.
When I had my NEX6 I had the 3 Sigma 2.8s and they were really nice. If I still had it the Sigma 1.4s would definitely be on my shopping list. That being said, it's still no match for Fuji's much more comprehensive dedicated APSC lens line-up.
I kind of agree with this. The X-T3 looks amazing, I'd definitely go for that if I was in the market for a new APS-C camera. It still has its weaknesses, like the crappy battery life. But overall it's pretty great. Still, between these two cameras, the Sony is the clear winner, especially for anyone who wants to vlog.
The Fuij Autofocus was definitely sharper.
Thanks ,i'll take the Fuji.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Great comparison guys! However I’d argue that Fuji cheats on ISO and Fuji ISO 200 = Sony ISO 100. And that’s how they should have been compared. I wonder did you check for equivalent exposures by chance? Thanks for the review, you both did a good job modeling.👌
ye s. that's what I thought, fuji image start off darker. so over expose them 2 stop fuji will retain better higher.
It’s interesting that the BSI sensor in the Fuji doesn’t produce better low light images. According to the hype it should be blowing away the Sony.
If viewed at 100%, Fuji's higher resolution, so grain is more visible, but for Jpeg the difference could be different
They just seem evenly matched to me other than Sony's better taking
The still image capabilities on the Fuji blow the Sony away. 30fps RAW compared to what is it 8fps on the Sony? The readout is also way faster so you can use electronic shutter without getting jello shots when there is action. Same applies for video, very low rolling shutter. 1080p also sucks on the Sony, tons of moire. To really see color differences you have to test in a variety of lighting. Eterna on the XT30 is better than anything the Sony offers. Log profiles are nice but limited in 8 bit. HLG on the Sony is pretty nice though.
The Sony is worth it if you want the absolute best AF or if you need the flip screen.
The problem testing Fuji is that they have fake ISOs so you have to be careful or you end up falling on their trap and thinking it is performing better than it really is.
Also, in this comparison they didnt adjust the images to get comparable exposure. If they did that, they A6400 would have clearly had less noise than the X-T30. You cant just say that they both have comparable noise at an ISO level, while one image is so obviously darker than the other.
I really like the Fuji but the Lenses are so damn expensive
They are the least expensive compared to others of the SAME IQ
Never understood this criticism - Fuji has cashbacks etc very regularly, so unless you need a certain lens immediately they can be incredibly cheap. The irony is that (other than the Sigmas) I would never bother with Canon, Sony or Nikon because the lenses are too expensive.
Fuji
has their own specific IMAGE Quality.
You guys love walking, it's healthy
We sure do! Shooting helps us to exercise a lot
Walking in circles :))))
Main deal breaker is recording limit on fuji , you will realise you were walking around and camera stopped recording and you missed all important things
That is definitely a minus point. Thanks for sharing!
Xt30 an amateur camera? What do you consider the xt3 then? A prosumer camera? Lol many professionals use the xt3 and xt30 to earn a living...calling them amateur cameras seem like a stretch especially as they also cost almost 1000 dollars and so most of the things the “professional cameras do”
Comparing with the xt3 would be a better comparison.
Damn!!! that Tony Northrup dig XD
Glad someone caught it haha
Did you meter the scene with an external light meter to make sure that both cameras were exposing the scene the same way or did you just set both cameras with the same exact exposure triangle settings? If you didn't use a light meter and just set both cameras to the same values, then you just wasted everybody's time. I truly get the sense that you two do not know how to properly compare cameras. Your comments about the ISO just seem completely clueless. The image quality at any given ISO depends more on the overall ambient light than the camera's stated ISO value. Consequently, I may get a better result at a higher ISO with a scene with good ambient lighting than I may get with a lower ISO in much lower light (using lower shutter speeds). It's all about how much light is hitting the sensor. So to say, that you can't use the camera above a certain ISO (like 1600) shows that you truly do not understand the principles involved. Such comments only apply to the extreme ISO setting in these cameras, where the signal to noise ratio is objectively unacceptable regardless of the available ambient light.
Yes, we did use an external light meter for each of the cameras.
I always thought it was J P Morgan!
It's Jay P Morgan!
At the evaluation of image quality, dynamic range is only one part of the story. Nobody is talking about that at the full size image Fuji is smudgy, not sharp, missing details - you can see that on the button of the shirt at 1:45. Every tests I've seen so far has the same results on that.
Thanks for sharing your observation!
@@TheSlantedLens Can I download the RAW or JPG files from somewhere?
I’m so glad I’m female and have small hands.... it seems the Fuji is the better..
They are still both very small cameras!
Video time limit is the problem of Fuji. Only 20 Minute.....in 4K. It's Bad
Why did you not feel the better AF, buffer and ergonomics on the Sony was enough to make it the winner out of the 2? Those three things seemed significant from what I understood of your review. No?
I think it was because those are end user weighted items. If this was an action camera shootout then it would definitely work out that way. But, if someone is a street photographer that also liked to make videos. Things change a bit.
@@chrishall1407 Good point - thanks Chris. Personally I value the option of good AF for whatever type of shooting I'm doing so it's always high on the list of requirements for me. I do of course manually focus a fair bit too, but the safety net of good AF I find reassuring. Ergonomics is huge - I've actually moved over to Sony these days, but still love Canon for their ease of use / UX. Keep up the good work!
Chris Hall is right. For example, I mostly do landscape photography, so fast AF, buffer and ergonomics are not as crucial as image quality and color science.
Also, I'd like to add that it is kind of fun that these two rival companies(and to be frank their loyal customers) have such equal yet very different cameras that make for different experiences. Heck of a job by both companies. The ensuing arguments WILL be entertaining. 😆
Julio Areck Chang Ah, I thought this was a general review / comparison for all of us. I didn't realise it was intended for a specific audience only.
I very love camera but doesn't have money lol
You can do a lot with your phone camera, or a used camera! Work with what you got until you save up to buy these beginning cameras
If only sony lens are cheap.. i really want sony.. but.. lens are sooo damn expensive af... So going to pick fuji next month.. ahh damn man.. i really want it but cant really sure how to afford their lens..
Thanks for the test guys. When the video started I thought you were going to capture dumpster diving pics lol.
Both are a lot of camera for the money and no doubt will be cheaper to buy come sales time.
I think the Fuji would really appeal to street photographers shooting JPEGs.
We haven't reached quite the level of street photography yet. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts though!
Interesting that they have the same price in America. Here in Sweden the Sony costs 150 dollars more than the Fujifilm.
Huh, didn't realize that prices differed. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry to nit pick, but presuming Fujifilm is being optimistic about ISO by saying they under expose when compared to Sony, may not be accurate. Correctly exposed to a standard many times produces a not so good looking LCD Jpeg, so many companies like Sony set exposure through a different method, called REI, which extends the tolerance of the standard, allowing them to have brighter screen jpegs at the same exposure. Both exposures still fall within the leeway given for accurate exposure. You could say Sony are not being accurate, but rather trying to produce better looking jpgs on screen as a marketing tool if compared next to another brand set to the exact same exposure. The presumption is the darker of the two images is the incorrect exposure and the implication is the company is lying about their iso values, which is not the case. This is not even mentioning T stop vs F stop. Just pointing that out.
Ziggi Mon Yes correct and to your point, no external meter was used in the video, it’s just a comparison between two brands. You can use a external meter with a film camera using two different types of film by the same manufacturer and find half stop and full stop difference, that’s why with meters you have the ability to adjust compensation in the meter reading to match the camera, lens or film type being used. My point is that to presume an absolute standard in exposure has never truly existed, there are tolerances. You can find differences in two of the same lens by the same manufacture at the same f stop, slight but there can be differences. T stop however is more accurate. The film industry needs way less tolorence. Running 1200 feet of film finding you are a stop out can get expensive. But you pay big bucks for that type lens. I know there are differences between digital cameras, lenses, and film brands in exposure and I have used light meters in my career, but the implication is that it’s deliberate by a manufacturer and there’s a absolute standard does not exist.
Ziggi Mon I agree and as you say, the only relevant observation is that the difference between the two brands is a half stop to a full stop, no argument. My point is that other then that observation made, presuming one brand is deliberately doing something, is just a presumption. Let’s say an external light meter was used and we find Fujifilm is a 1/3 to 1/2 stop under the reading and Sony is 1/3 to 1/2 stop over the reading. Now being 1/3 to 1/2 out either way doesn’t sound bad and seems to be an acceptable tolerance. But if you set the Sony up as the “standard”, not the light meter, then set the Fuji to the same exposure settings, Fuji is now up to a full stop under which creates a perception about the brand.
@@johnarmstrong6940 They used an external meter.
Brad C thank you Brad, I did in fact pick up on the light meter in hand a bit late, after I’d made a few comments, my error. My point remains though. If I get a light meter reading and set both cameras accordingly, how would one know which camera of the two is spot on exact exposure? Do we assume the brighter image is 100% correct? They said there was 1/3 difference between the two, which is not abnormal. But what happens if we found out the one camera was 1/6 over and the other 1/6 under, that now paints an entirely different picture and one would say 1/6 is negligible either way. To be fair and I was nit picking, they only mentioned Fuji was being optimistic and were polite, but I’m seeing more and more videos taking the brighter images, presuming correct exposure and implying the other brand is deliberately lying. The 1/6 difference may lie in the lens and have nothing to do with ISO.
this is a useless video. they made a comparison but they did not choose which is better... for photo choose fujifilm but if u want a compact over all camera then choose sony...
I bought both cameras and liked the Fuji film better
Thanks for sharing your experience!
It comes down to LENSES!!!
Fujifilm wins..
SONY HAVE CANON ADAPTERS
@Phil Jones65 Wow not good?? Compared to what? Sigma with an adapter that doesn't even keep the functions?
@@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat if you think that's a pro.. we have nothing to discuss.
Sigma 1.4 lenses
Wait a minute: no pore detect?
Haha I think we are pretty happy it can't track our pores.
Huh... I'd appreciate skin cells detect!
Gerald Undone's comparison review is more informative.
Sony hands down, Fuji can do with a better focusing system
Thanks for sharing with us! We were disappointed with the Fuji focusing system, but still a solid camera.
It's not oly about the focusing system, I think the focus motors on the lenses are better with Sony than with Fuji.
I saw a clear winner. Sony has no time limit on video recording (huge), and is less prone to overheating (huge). The Sony has double the buffer of images (huge), and a flip-up screen (not a deal breaker). The Sony A6400's ISO setting is exposing more accurately (troubling). I enjoy most your videos, but this video seamed to miss a few key differences.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
"Some people are telling you ISO doesn't exist..." then "the Fuji is under by half a stop..." Evidence that ISO is not consistent from manufacturer to manufacturer. You just made Tony's point that ISO is no longer standard.
9:25 Doug Pardee posted an interesting piece about ISO recently :)

P.S. Fuji film simulations make for fast footage
I think X-T30 is the clear winner. The AF is not far behind. Not sure what settings they had on the Fuji. Other RUclipsrs had great success with the AF.
Here are my reasons to go with the Fuji.
1. The X-T30 has the new USB C port, and the A6400 has the old micro USB.
2. The Sony A6400 has really bad rolling shutter. Why did the not talk about this?
3. X-T30 has a better battery life.
4. You can charge the X-T30 while using it, and that is not an option in the A6400.
5. With the X-T30 you have an opportunity to use 10 bit if you want to go that route with an HD monitor.
6. With the Fuji, you get to use tailor-made lenses that are not oversized.
7. I like the Fuji’s small footprint because you have the option to put a grip on it to make it larger.
8. Fuji is know for the best firmware updates.
9. All the cool physical buttons and dials. I love all the extra items in the menu.
10. Fujifilm is coming out with a 33mm 1.0 lens.
must be a fuji fan boy talking,
I’m trying to start up trouble so I can figure out what camera to buy.
@@youareawesome8 must be a sony fanboy whining
better battery life my butt. the fuji has also terrible rolling shutter. fuji's lenses are inferior to sony IQ wise.
Aps- c lenses - Fujifilm > Sony
Full frame lenses - Fujifilm < Sony
Why would I want to put a full frame lens on a APS - C camera. That would only make sense if I bought a Sony A73. I think if I went that route I would just burn through money quicker, and have an odd selection of lenses that I would need to sell on eBay.
Comparison of X-T3 vs a6400 makes sense but X-T30 is not even in the same group of cameras at that level
I feel like the biggest difference maker that doesnt get discussed enough in these comparisons is the color science of the fuji vs the Sony. Especially when combined with the film simulations. They really do take the quality of output to a whole nother level. whereas the sony always comes off lifeless and needs alot of post processing to catch up to the fuji. Whereas you can literally work straight out of the camera if you wanted to
Mmm yeah, we talked a bit about the differences in colors in some of the photos, but we didn't touch upon the color science that much. It's an important topic if you want to cut down your post-processing/editing work.
You say Sony is sharper. But the video says Fuji is sharper.
It's been a while since we produced this video. Can't remember. I would assume what I said would be the same since I made the video.
on 1,2,3 GO!!! 9:08
Nikon Z6 wins
Haha, I think you are referring to this video: ruclips.net/video/dPTKuu1zpsE/видео.html
rESUME - SONY AUTOFOCUS IS BETTE RIN PHOTOS, FUJI IS BETTER IN VIDEOS. rEST IS THE SAME.
No clear winner how? 60fps at 4K!
XT30 can't shoot 4k 60, you're thinking of the XT3
Why this guys talking about "grain, grainy" like its life or death. Jesus christ! Do u have eagle eyes? Its better that you dont have it but you people need to calm down a bit about it. Jesus christ.
Fuji 10 minute recording time,Sony no limit ,until your battery dies.
Video stabilization is better on Fuji I believe
Dave Neither camera has sensor stabilization
a6400 日本忍者 VS XT30 日本武士
thanks for watching!
The A6400 all the way. Saying that there's "no clear winner" is just disingenuous bullshit. I'm not saying the Fuji camera is bad, but anyone who's being honest will realize that the A6400 is better in almost every way.
