SONY A7III vs FUJI XT3 - Can YOU tell the difference?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Can you tell the difference between photos taken with the Sony A7III and the Fujifilm X-T3? This NOT going to be a comparison of images with the same composition, same lens, same exposure settings -- that would easy and obvious. Instead, it WILL be a collection of "guess which camera took this photo" from real-world wedding photography situations. All Sony photos taken by Joseph of J&A Light, also a SF Bay Area wedding photographer. All photos were edited using my Lightroom preset to closely match the Fuji and Sony files in color and tone. Yes, my presets work on Sony files too!

I got a total overall of 14 incorrect, but 10 correct for the X-T3, and 6 correct for the A7III...so being an X-T3 user, I don't feel too bad! Thanks Reggie, nice bit of fun that was! 👍🇬🇧📷
Glad you had fun!
I can't even tell the difference between you and the Sony photographer.

Over many years, I have used film, slide film, big DSLRs Fuji and lenses from cheap to extremely expensive. I eventually smartened up and learned that my best photos were not based on camera or lens or sensor or film. They were based on lighting, composition and the moment. Many of the photos with thin depth of field were slightly out of focus also. I no longer worry about the gear as it is all very good.
thanks for the comment
Do you do a lot of post-processing too? I've noticed a few subtle touchups in contrast/color/gamma/etc. can do wonders on a photo with a cheap body and decent lens... depending if the light and composition were good to start with.
Lost interest in which was which - simply a superb set of well composed and tastefully edited photos!
Haha thanks!
The most important lesson an up and coming photographer might learn is that If this blind test would be presented to a client, the brands would not matter and they wouldn’t care. They just want to capture their biggest moments and hopefully it flatters their own insecurities and that you were professional enough to make them feel comfortable in front of whatever lens you use
Missed about 20% of the shots. But I nailed almost every Fuji shot. There is something slightly different the way the shot are rendered. Probably because the x-trans sensor gets more from mid tones than Bayer sensors? Not sure. Still Both are great cameras and more than Fuji vs sony this is a apsc vs full frame :)
João Cardoso thanks for the comment
Significantly more difficult to guess than I thought. I have an X-T3 but have considered moving to full frame to get better low light performance and sharpness. This video really reminded me how capable my Fuji system is, and I love it so I'd prefer to keep it. Thank you!
want best sharpness get 23mm f1.4 the beast it will wooow youi
Although I bought xt3 for its color, I couldn’t get it right on some photos. Fuji has vintage-like vivid color but not in every photo. And especially in black and white I couldn’t tell. But once you see all of the photos together, the difference will be noticed. That’s why you pick certain brand for their own characteristic. You might be able to edit to look like each other but, that’d be a lot of work.
Thanks for the comment.
I could tell the difference when you posted the results at the end. Great job on the photos. They all look beautiful.
Thanks for the kind words!
Great thx! Glad i bought the X-T3
Definitely!
I have to be honest and say that I didn't see one single pic from the Sony that would sway me away from my Fuji - but that's just me!.
Regardless of the equipment, it can't be easy capturing the right moments that will satisfy the client. Kudos on having that skill.
Thanks for the kind words Brian
5:04 This is the winner for me :)
John Smith one of my fave shots!
@@Reggiebphoto Brenizer Method? Amazing photos btw!
That was just 56 1.2 single shot
@@Reggiebphoto Whaaa? Incredible work
I agree with you, that was an epic shot
I got them almost all right! The fuji looks so much better. The sony is soft and the colors are less vibrant.
Thanks for the comment
Both amazing cameras does it really matter when you can still Capture such a beautiful moment
Haha yes!
Totally agree
So Amazingly I got 23 correct and I have no idea what I'm talking about. Struggling to choose a camera. For me....the fuji does add emotion and mood. Good video.
This was entertaining but not a fair comparison nor a good way to tell the difference. There’s really no way to tell which pictures are taken with which camera, with the proper lighting and a good lens, these can be ANY camera
Jaime Andres Photography yup. That’s the point. Don’t obsess over gear. Focus on good lighting, good composition. Good photography.
exactly the point
Make a better blindtest and include the lumix LX100 and the samsung nx mini and the eos M100
Ok
Kind of pointless. All photos were edited with some "preset". It would make a sense to compare SOOC pictures only, because in case of using "preset" it is like "look here, they all look very same, they all look very good. No big difference". I mean, c'mon... I can use your "preset" to make same-looking pictures on the old Nikon D200 which is just a toy in a modern camera world... But it will be pointless. As the point of comparing is finding out "the best" in some categories.
Sorry, if my comment was too straight to the point.
Hovhannes Hovakimyan this is exactly the point I’m trying to make. Any camera can make do. So people need to stop obsessing over it. And there’s are real client delivered photos. I will not have each camera look different or be sooc
Buying my first camera for wedding photography
Should i but X-T3 or Sony a7iii
Totally up to you my friend
Let's give it up for the real hero's...the fujifilm 16mm and 23mm 1.4🙌
George Carter the 16 is my absolute fave. And the 23 is my fave for weddings :)
Lost 6. Mainly i am correct because of the colour. Fuji is different and still i can see that and some guess because of style if you shot both camera that would have been even more difficult
yup i agree with you there
Couple things. 1) I got 19 correct 2) Certainly see the differences in shots chosen (composition) 3) Why are people complaining in comments about this? You took the time to show a real world non pixel peeping comparison of two great cameras. I for one appreciate it. 4) I just got my XT-3 yesterday, after weeks of debate on what to upgrade coming a Canon M50. I couldn't be happier, and love it so far. Your content and your channel are great. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for the comment. In regards to 3, don’t worry about it. It’s expected and any buzz (negative or positve) helps the videos reach. For those who get the point, like you, this is intended for you. Appreciate the kind words and hope my other xt3 videos help you in your journey with your new camera!
@@Reggiebphoto I've been binge watching for a couple days. Great stuff. I actually want to shoot a wedding as an unpaid 2nd shooter, just to see what kind of experience it would be. This camera gives me the confidence to reach out locally and make that happen now. Thanks!! Cheers
I got 16/30 so basically, I could not tell the difference based on these images!
Thanks for playing along!
19 out of 30. But it was all guessing. Try not to look on your compositional style, but it's obvious on some pictures :)
But anyway, there's almost no difference, especially if you look fast. And your clients absolutely wouldn't see the difference!
Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome! Thanks for tuning in and playing along!
In real life scenario there's not so much difference between ff an apsc in terms of dof . If you not set them side by side no 1 can tell difference. But even then the difference is not worth going ff. There was a time I was looking for most shallow depth of field possible, but here comes hard truth. I did frag up so many photos because of this hahaha.
Szymon Pytel this was the exact point of the video
hi there...
your pictures are very nice.
I have a d90 (i'm beginner) i'm intersting about a new camera like hybride (xt30, xt3,a6400/6500)
I like the fuji looks but i would like to know wich camera (in this list or not) you would advice...i don't have a big budget (1000-1200€) max...
Wich one wich wich lense would u advice...
The use will be mainly for taking picture of my daughter (3yo) family moment and life moment.
I saw the xt3 seems a good one...but i'm afraid that with price of lenses it can be be out of budget...xt30 seems nice too but it seems video time seems limited right?
So if someone has got some advice... thanks
or last plan i stay nikon and find a z50 or d7500...
Romuald B xt30
Is a good choice for budget. For video record time it’s limited if you do long form video. But for short clips (more common) it’s more than good enough.
@@Reggiebphoto hi reggie thanks for your answer. I read that xt30 heat fast in video... what do you think about it.? Wich lense would you advise ? One general with i could do portrait too
This post is total bull; dah processed images are made to a look. Yea great so you can deliver consistent product to your client. Want to attempt a comparison of image quality post the out of camera files. That said, I own Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus and LUMIX . I will say this the “look” in digital images is more dependent upon the software process of the files then upon the hardware that capture them. That said all these camera systems have strengths and weakness in producing the captured files and these captured files if properly exposed will lead to similar looking photos once processed in the same software. CaptureOne, Lightroom can and do show difference in the look of their edited files. If your image library includes files made by any number of different camera systems over the last 15 years and you were to reprocess them in the latest version of these programs, you’d be amazed at how different the results you’d achieve because of all the new technology that have been made in the post production software. I’ve been doing photography for almost 60 years and have developed the realization that the camera system is the least important link in producing what I call Photographs. ‘Look,’ if you will is and always be subject to Fad and Style, Some ‘tools’ if you will be better suited to achieving these goals, Cartier Bresson compared to Stieglitz in capturing decisive moment, 35 mm vs the View Camera, Ansel Adam vs Galen Rowell in Landscape Photography, David Douglas Duncan the SLR over the Rangefinder. I could go on but my point is this. In Digital it’s not about which one is better over another. It’s about how it will work for YOU in capturing the images that you or your client demand. That said I do use a Fujifilm X-T3 with 56mm f/1.2 and 23 mm f/2 as my favorite kit. I’ve always enjoyed the 35, 85mm combination in my style of photography, I’m proud of the images that this combination gives me. Fujifilm gives me tools that yield me results that rival images that I made with Analog Tools for over 4 decades. Nuff said.
My whole point of the video is in agreement with you. It doesn’t matter. I’m not sure where you deduced I was saying one was better than the other.
Reggie Ballesteros never did, and of course I agree with you. Fact is that all photographic systems are a long passing parade. The Fanboys and the Ambassadors drive the market. A professional knows his tools or better wants to. Your discussion on how to better utilize them is great and with merit. My passion is the art, it’s history and it’s evolution. Read “Camera Work” now more then 100 years old and look at the history of 291 Broadway and the “photographic” Scene also 100 years ago. Now a group or a channel articulating that kind of thought and practice would be a rich intellectual endeavor furthering along the Art and The Craft that we call photography. I’ve a sense that from what I glean from your videos that you might be one of those person! Keep up the good work .

This was a pretty cool video. I only got 18/30. 60%. 10% or only 3 more correct than random guessing. That's embarassing. Lol. This is a really insightful/useful comparison video. However I'd say the shortcomings are: you're comparing good photos that the Fuji took to good photos that the Sony took and purposely comparing photos that could lean one way or the other in terms of dof and possibly properly exposed(SOOC) photos .
So what might also be useful is to see the series of burst photos that the Fuji took vs what the Sony took of the bouquet toss. We could compare the success rate of in-focus shots of what the intended focus was (bouquet, bride, catcher, etc.) and decide what would be a more reliable camera in that situation. Were the same or similar focus modes used? Which camera gives you better results/more options?
Then perhaps highlight/shadow recovery of mis-exposed shots to compare, which of course, can be mitigated with skill/experience. However, when it comes to weddings, there will always be a certain, higher percentage of missed opportunities due to the camera, the photographer, and/or nature of the event.
Anyway, I want to stress that your video was great and didn't need to be anything more. I found it super enlightening and am glad you made it. I hope you make more! I just wanted to add some of my own thoughts to it.
Andrew Giordano thanks for the suggestion. Probably don’t have the bandwidth to make such a comparison tho. At that point it’s more useful for a photographer to do their own tests in the field. This was simply an exercise in it doesn’t really matter.
@@Reggiebphoto For sure. And I really don't mean to come off as one of those pompous YT commenters instructing content creators how to conduct their videos. Just wanted to throw in some other thoughts and not so much to suggest what you should do next time. Actually, I linked a buddy of mine to this video as we did nearly the same thing for a wedding last year: I was on my a73s and he was on his Fujis (not XT3). He was the editor though so I wasn't able to compare our shots. From what he's told me, there weren't blatant/offending differences when the photos are processed similarly.
Great job! The Sony seems to be a bit sharper or crispier? There is a very small difference. Even the colors seems to be a bout the same. It kind of reminds me when I use my A6000 as a B camera.
But I'm gonna try the Fuji right after Christmas. It's going to be my first time with a Fuji. Losing my Fuji virginity soon LOL
All the colors are edited. That’s why they look the same.
I just got 12 right. I rewatched to see my favorite pictures and Fuji got 6 and Sony 4. This last part doesn't mean Sony is bad camera of Fuji is better, just that I liked more pictures taken with the Fuji than the Sony.
yup each camera can get the job done, and that's what really matters.
In real world xt3 more noise and autofocus speed more slow. In low light xt3 very bad
These pictures are real world photos.
@@Reggiebphoto zoom in your photos. And you can look the differend
Got 17 right. Been saying for years that full frame does have it's avantages but it's not the Holy Graal. Love my X-T2 and wouldn't change it for a FF. I have to admit I love the Fuji lenses.
Totally agree with you friend. Thanks for watching and have an awesome Monday!
The only good bokeh lens fuji has is the 56 1.2 and 90mm f2.. they need to make faster primes.
I personally also love the 16mm 1.4. But yes it’s hard to beat the 56 1.2 as the best bokeh lens for Fuji.
I love the 50-140 f/2.8, but I know not everyone is into cats eye bokeh.
fuck, is this Ogie Alcasid's little brother
Lol
16 correct, 14 wrong hahaha. But the by&W shouldn’t count because it is the colours that makes the main difference. Some of them are super easy to recognise but some of them are practically indistinguishable.
The colors are edited to match in the color versions too. So color shouldn’t be the determining factor anyways haha
@@Reggiebphoto You mean, you tried to match them to the best of your ability so they shouldn't be a factor but they are :) Ok, I was sony shooter for over 2 years and I have switched to fuji xt3 about 3 weeks ago and I also do mainly video, but the colours on Sony were driving me sometimes crazy because they weren't giving me the look I wanted. Now, again, to edit raw files pictures comparing to Sonys 8bit video is a massive difference. So with pictures, you can literally minimise the difference. Also, for a customer, it doesn't matter, they will not recognise the difference. Only a person who has some experience with both cameras can tell the difference and I am still learning about Fuji. 1. and 2. were clear fuji, not just because of the colours, but also the softness. 3. was difficult one. My first guess was straight away sony but longer I looked at it I tend to think it was Fuji. I should have gone with my first instinct. 4. clear fuji. 5. the same as 3. thinking too long. 6. clear sony. I think it was the sharpness that gave it away and the skin tone. 7. fuji skin tones. The big back of the girl helps. No9. here I saw fuji colours but the sharpness was like sony. I went with sony, thought it was colour matched. Number 9 is a perfect hybrid. 13. I was so sure it was Fuji. Really good matching there!!! I could carry on. The point is as people who specialise for what we are looking in cameras, there are some nuances that tell us what we want. You have done a great job matching those pictures. Based on your work, what separates fuji and sony is the softness of the image and the skin tones. Yes, you can match it in the post, but why I should be wasting time when I can get it straight out of the camera. With sony, I always felt like I am shooting sharp digital corporate video. With fuji, I feel like I am shooting on film if it makes sense. For me, there is a difference to my eye. Hence the switch. Also, it shoots 4k 60 fps 10 bit 420 internally so....:D And I really started liking taking pictures with the Fuji. All those dials and aperture ring. With sony, I was purely a video shooter. It is all about personal preference. But your video is great. I am going to discuss more with you in future if you will have time.
"You mean, you tried to match them to the best of your ability so they shouldn't be a factor but they are :)"
Not according to your result.. 16/14 is just a bit better than guessing :)
20/30! Can't believe it O_O haha Great videos, ,man! Keep it up!
Gabriel San Pedro nice good job!
This test made me realize that I need to get a lens with a 25m focal length those pics look amazing! I have the xf 35 F1. 4and viltrox 85 and I've been debating either getting the 23 or 16 F1.4. Which focal length would you go for next?
I feel that the 23 is a little too close to the 35. And the 16 1.4 pairs very nicely with the 35 1.4
Or do it all lens. Sigma 18-35 1.8(canon adapted)
I use sigma 18-35mm F1,8 art for nikon with adapter & fuji 56mm F1,2. Great combo ever!!
Also is important to test de 23mm 1.4 vs a 35mm 1.5 on a Full Frame Camera, that's why Full Frame win for me, the Bokeh. I still keeping my XT2 with the 23mm 1.4 for travel, but for wedding I just like the Full Frame. Good video man :)
Yeah bokeh will always be shallower in full frame. Just optics and physics
I was testing both X-T3 and A7 III lately. Many people claim that Fuji is very close to FF just like M4/3 is close to APSC but there is something to the bigger sensors. The look is just different, more 3d like. Look at the images from Fuji GFX...even though they don't have same shallow dof as FF with many lenses due to aperture but those images have some special separation. Same with new Nikon Z + Nikon 50 f1.8 S and Canon EOS R + RF 50 f1.2. Sony is little behind due to worse glass.
I am Fuji user now and I was blown away at the beginning since I moved from Nikon D600 and A7 Mark I. Fuji has some special rendering, I guess mostly due to it's great film simulations and great skin tones. But now after 2 years with this system I am wondering if I should jump back to FF. AF system on Fuji is still lacking behind, there is no video tracking, coatings on the body are worse then competition (X-Pro3 probably solved that), there is still no IBIS and I guess X-T4 still won't have it, ergonomics were great at the beginning but now I see that I miss the grip and modern dials with custom memory banks which are just much better for fast setting changes. ISO and sharpness is also better on FF even though I was using worse glass on Sony than on Fuji - FE 50 f1.8 vs XF 35 f1.4. Colors also go away rapiddly as soon as you start to go above ISO 1600. Never had that problem with Nikon D600, with Fuji I have to shoot with strobe or I can go without one but then I apply faded look or just ACROS.
In the end I must admit that in your particular comparison with those presets there is little difference between the two because of this faded look but shooting landscapes, museums or portrait with lively colors I got better results with Sony, although it required more work in post processing than with Fuji. Fuji is great SOOC even with RAW. In the end Fuji and Sony are both capable of delivering the results and each have to decide what is good enough for him/her. For me I guess I miss FF look, especially at those high ISOs. One thing where Fuji destroys competition now and probably in the future is video.
Thanks for the in-depth comment. I personally love the shallow dof look and will always miss that from full frame. I just turn a blind eye lol
22 correct! XT3 shooter. If there is foliage in the shot it always has a beautiful teal look on the Fujifilm; others are harder to tell for sure but Fuji has an undefinable vintage film look where Sony is more precise and a bit clinical. Good video- challenging.
My photos are edited without the film simulation and have altered colors. So it actually doesn’t have the “Fuji look” at all
@@Reggiebphoto When you say your photos are shot without simulation, you mean you shot it in raw instead of jpeg?
Yes
Makes no sense to me. The photos are processed to very low contrast and saturation, look almost washed-out. I'd have them rejected this way as a client. So there's no point in comparing the output of 2 cameras based on these. Sorry.
GiovanniBausC thanks for your comment my friend! Good thing you’re not my client then 😅
@@Reggiebphoto Thanks for not being offended. I didn't want to be rude or insulting by any means. Of course images also may look different on RUclips than in their actual presentation to the customer. And I'm aware that there is currently a certain trend towards this kind of "retro" or very desaturated, but selectively accentuated look which I felt here to look "washed-out" to me. If it's the customer's choice, no objection at all. And yes, I'd not be the perfect customer in this case because this is simply not my preferred look. I like high-key images especially in portraiture/boudoir, but with no limitation of contrast or saturation and only very slight adjustment of hues (say, not far from the unedited results based on ColorChecker calibration).
It did come off rude and insulting. But I try to respond with a smile. First, RUclips does change how the colors look. But second and more importantly, My style doesn’t have to align with your preferences. My style has to align with what I present to my clients based on booking and is delivered upon completion of the project. So you are entitled to your opinion. I’m entitled to run my business and edit my photos as I please. I’m sure you’d agree 👊🏽
I could not tell the difference in most of the photos. I have both cameras, but I cant match the tones and colors as good as you did here. Do you have any advise? How do you match it? Thanks!
I use a preset to set my tone curve. And froM there I play with the Hsl sliders until the skin tones match very closely
Next challenge: shoot a full wedding on Olympus EM1 II or Panasonic G9
These are the actual cameras we Shoot weddings with. I’m not gonna use another system just for one video lol
Send him the gear.
@@Reggiebphoto But you can rent them and do some tests.Dont you?🤔
Straight out of camera pict, i personally choose fuji to be winner for JPG color without editing.
that wasn't the criteria of this comparison tho.
as a proud xt4 owner I had 16 correct!
Which means that i also had 14 wrong, equating to basically 50/50 chance of me being correct, meaning i could flip a coin and have the same success rate.
Which finally means couldnt them apart at any rate, lol.
And here i was believing i could spot a fuji photo from miles away. Haha
Nailed 24 out of 30
Missed 4 time in favour of sony
2 time in favor of fuji
I m a nikon shooter but
I use a xt20 as my family camera time.
My second shooter use sony a7m3 and a9
Probably can't explain technically but fuji has depth and a files color reconegzible: little bit greenish and dark tones are shallow.
Sony has more open and airy tones.
I know it s not tecnical bit it s about color feelings
Thanks for the comment
All great shots - Well done to photographers and both great cameras. After your reveal, you can then see that overall, the Sony are slightly more clinical, while Fuji have slightly more 'filmic' character to them - which I prefer.
Thanks!
Tbh you you’ll only know the difference in the bokeh and the background separation. I can see the diffence almost every time if you shoot portraits wide open. Because with the FF sensor you can see the diffence.
And: I’ve down pretty good and do you know why? Your skin tones are always a bit on the magenta side which I don’t like to be honest. It’s not really how it supposed to be, at least in my opinion, and I don’t know if you edit them like that or is it because of the Fuji RAW File. That’s how I knew when a photo was shot with the Fuji.
And in the third photo I believe, where your friend shot the little bottle, I immediately knew it was shot wide open with the Sony because of the depth of field.
Nice Video Bro!
Thanks for the comment.
Reggie Ballesteros you are welcome Mister 😎
I got 18 right lol
John Smith good stuff!
Let's just all love photography and don't get to bogged down on equipment 🤟🤟🤟
wish everyone could have this attitude :)
I could guess 90% of fuji work perhaps now I know your style.
Cool
@@Reggiebphoto has it ever to you that the thumbnail changes in Adobe lightroom/ bridge or in C1 after importing images from the card?
Yeah that’s normal
got about 70% right. The colours are similar (as you've edited them [mentioned in the video]), but for me the Fuji photos were ever so slightly softer. I prefer the softer look.
Got it. Thanks for the comment
I agree..ever so slightly softer... but that is probably more lens choice than the camera....
@@crinosil Fair point. Although a bit of both (Camera and lens) I would say. Also very subjective. I've had Sony and Nikon cameras before (A77ii, A7ii, D600). Switched from the D600 to A7ii, but something about the photos (although sharp etc.) didn't appeal to me (plus the menu system). Tried the XT3, and decided to swap after two weeks of using it. Ultimately its all about your personal preference and what works for you. All brands produce pretty good images these days.
Can You tell the Difference ?
Praveen Kumar yup. But I took and edited the photos
I love Fuji and I still use X-T3...Great camera for almost everything but Sony A7 III is better when you want shoot at ISO 12000 or higher there will be a big difference in noise and producing details otherwise Fuji is very powerful gear for an APS-C sensor with good dynamic range (for most situations great )....Sony is really for people who working in very dark situations. But with Fuji lenses f1.4 you don't have any problems for something like weddings...I never need to use more than 6400 ISO...
If you two would of switched systems, I may have been lost. But, since I have seen enough of your work to know your compositional style. I could tell. 25 out of 30. I didn't even pay attention to color or focus lengths. or
definitley. if you're familiar with my work, it will be pretty obvious, haha. or if i showed a wedding that i haven't shown on youtube before. both weddings have already had images shown in previous videos. good observation for sure.
I did pretty well. The mid tone contrast is slightly different (maybe down to the glass as it was more pronounced in some cases) and the Sony seems to have more dynamic range. You did really well balancing the colours though. I couldn’t see anything noticeable with the colours.
Thanks for the comment
My fav were 1,4,7,10,12,14,17,18,21,23,24,27, Before the results.
I totally expected them to be sony.
24/30 :(
Most of the color photos were easier to distinguish.
Great photos btw, from both photographers, there’s a lot of skill here. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for playing along
Very hard to tell the difference. This speak volumes about the value of the fujifilm!
Yessir
#10 did it for me I guessed Sony but wasn’t 100%. I just got a xt2 but I really want an A7iii especially now with how #10 looked
Phantom Ghost707 definitely, low light fast action, higher iso the Sony will win every time. My second was able to stop down capture the action for that one and his coveraged helped for sure
Reggie Ballesteros yeah! I can’t wait until I get myself an a7iii next year. I did just get into the Fuji systems & got a XT2, so far I’m enjoying it
I got 21 pictures right
Nice!
Realizations.. 35mm is the most used focal length among the 30 photos.. now decided to buy 35mm lens for my fullframe
XT3 focal lengths multiplied by 1.5(crop factor)
Focal lengths used in every photos:
35mm- used 9 times
24mm - used 8 times
85mm - used 6 times
70-200mm - used 5 times
50mm - used 2 times
Gonz Xaviery Dela Fuente 35mm is the stable of most wedding documentary work
@@Reggiebphoto How come the XF 27mm isn't popular? Too noisy? Or the image quality isn't as good as the other lenses?
@@Reggiebphoto thanks for this video sir reggie
Low res images on a RUclips video that aren't directly comparable and probably vary widely in terms of F-Stop and ISO gee I wonder
nnix you know it
Try to watch the video or at least read the description before you post a comment. Also, 8 megapixels isn't low-res for a client, unless you're "that" photographer who delivers 24-megapixel images to your clients so they can pixel peep the quality on their large 32-inch 6K monitors...
I guessed most of them correct, but my guesses weren't based on just the photographs. It was also based on experience of shooting weddings, and knowing what a second shooter typically photographs, i.e. the typically photographs the groom & groomsmen, backfill photos during the procession, and candid photos during the reception, haha. But overall, great job at handling the colors from both the Fuji and Sony to make them cohesive!
tbh that's the best approach haha. the people who did best on the test either took that approach or has been following my work for a while and knows which shots i took.
ur 2nd shooter is better
Dane Frias yup he is. He taught me how to shoot.
Didn't really do the test because as the photos rolled out I thought most of them could've been shot with either system, depending on the lens used. So yeah, as usual: lenses matter more than camera bodies; even if you're comparing FF/APS-C.
Rok Novak thanks for the comment
nice video ...i loved fuji color science and easy to correct skin tone insted of Sony...and second thing i dont wont invest more money in to sony..its costly....compare to fuji....next video on fuji colour for diffrent skin tone pls...
Thanks for the comment
It was easy but not that easy
22/30 right I was looking for differences in color i know you said you color matched the photos but i shoot fuji and have shot sony in the pass. As a Fuji shooter they were some photos that i knew in my bones were a fuji. While the sony has more reds, and yellow tones for the most part. Image quality wise i couldn't tell a difference, I paused the video a lot to see the differences.
Got 20/30. The Sony photos appear to be slightly cleaner but both look amazing
Impossible to tell the difference. And with the amazing Fuji at 1/2 the price of Sony, camera + lenses, a buying decision is easy. Go buy the Fuji, and treat yourself to a great vacation with the money saved!
Number 6 true that!
The most obvious Fuji was #29. Fuji colour science is special, richer. Sony equals Fuji in the black and white mode in my opinion.
Thanks for the comment
Excellent video got a few of them right but when they aren't side by side the difference is negligible. A client would never know the difference. Great content with a very realistic comparison in real world situation. Excellent work
Thanks for the comment. Clients opinion is the most important opinion for sure :)
This video reassuring me to have the xf56 1.2
I also have a review on the 56 1.2 as well
@@Reggiebphoto of course i watched that already! Nice vids🤣🤣👍🏻
@@Reggiebphoto coz i was wondering if xt4 is capable for wedding and some important events, turned out your photos with the 56 1.2 are great!
It's ok if you don't consider this. I didn't keep a running tally but, since I've shot both fuji and sony I guessed correctly most of the time. I was fooled a few times though. The flower shot was nice and sharp and I thought that would be sony for sure but it was fuji. I've noticed through others and my own work, fuji seems a bit softer than most full frame cameras. Sharp when in studio settings with flash etc. but in natural light situations I've noticed them to be much softer than a full frame camera.
Sir please i request can you tell me how you reduced the size of your video in High quality. I am eagerly waiting for your reply. ♥️
I don’t understand your question?
@@Reggiebphoto if I watch a good quality video in 360p it consumes on an average 30 mb of internet for 7-10 min video sometimes even more. But your file size of video is considerably less
I’m not sure to be honest
@@Reggiebphoto 😂😂 are you kidding
I’m not. I don’t really look into the file size that youtube pushes out.
Bro pls upload raw file for download.plz
Monmohan Hati sorry can’t provide you raw files as these are photos of actual clients
That was fun...thanks. I could not see a definite FF vs crop sensor difference and maybe because I am just biased toward Fujifilm, but the photos with X-T3 and the Fujinon glass were simply rendered more beautifully.
Great set of photos and your second shooter did really well. I could only pick a handful based on shooting style but the rest were blind guesses.
Michael appreciate the kind words. Yup the shooting style will give it away for some haha
17/30 BTW, best picture is #24 and 15 for me, both with the Fuji, but it doesn't matter. Both cameras are great
+Cine Decodificado Yup, agreed!
I got 17 right lol
Nice!
Anybody that thinks the xt3 can't hang is crazy.
I didn’t say it could hang. Watch the video over and listen to what I actually say
@@Reggiebphoto oh, no man, I know. I'm not saying that's what you said. I'm just pointing out that if someone does think it can't hang, they must be crazy.
Gotcha. Yup physics is physics.
I totally swapped the two around... I was actually blown away how lovely the xt3 pictures turned out.
Haha how funny!
I like Fuji color more than Sony as it got more of a vintage look to it.
Blind test is hard because its all high quality professional pictures,
Sony pictures are sharper, cooler tone and more saturation
Fuji - form factor, size, price, fun to use, good looking camera, color (for me), JPG setting and film simulation
Sony - low light performance, incredible autofocus, sharpness, RAW file easier to edit in lightroom
I would prefer Fuji but its really up to personal preference really, you cant go wrong.
sk. Thanks for the comment and your insight
I do think the colour shots from the Sony have a slightly cleaner more ‘clinical’ look to them. It’s very subtle though
Both files are edited. So it’s more of my inability to match the colors
Reggie Ballesteros so do you think editing completely removes the individual character of a lens?
@@samsstreets8684 yea man
i’m a beginner and get most of them right...sony looks sharper and more contrasty to me while fuji is softer. Both styles look good though.
70-200mm wasn’t a fair comparison, because you didn’t have anything from the 50-140. I mean those were too easy to tell just from the focal characteristics. On the other hand, the Batis 25 v Fuji 16 ones were very challenging. Good stuff
Don’t own the lens. And it’s not supposed to be a “fair”
Comparison. It’s a realistic comparison. He used gear he owns and likes and I mixed it with gear I own and like.
Kudos to you. I’ve watched my share of crop vs full frame videos and it’s never been tough for me to tell. These photos were.
Good stuff
Picture #25 is awesome!! I have a Sony A7iii with a Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens. I just bought the Fuji XT4 and am waiting on the 35mm f2 lens. Can’t wait to see how it compares.
Thanks!
I knew there would no way to distinguish between the 2. Good test!
Haha yes. An experience photographer would know it’s an impossible task.
To know Fuji looks at the green tone n has more sharp image n for Sony it has a soft n clear image but not as sharp as fuji
pretty much got them all OTHER than the black and white ones. Couldnt tell the difference then. sony has more separation in the photos
18
Thanks for playing along!
IQ wise both were excellent and cant be differentiated. But tones wise, I could slightly differentiate between fuji and sony. Fuji i feel is more pastel tones with roll off to shadow and highlights being more subtle. Sony is more clinical and a bit more pronounced tones. Colors too. Although you did a good job in matching them.
PS: I too am a wedding photographer with a team of sony and fuji crew. Hence why it is easier for me. Cheers!
Red Baron Productions thanks for the comment
I pick all correct except b&w
Very easy to compare
Fuji produce little blue grey tint inside white cloths & sony produce lite warm tint in white
Green & pink color looks enhance in fuji
Skin color looks warmer & red color looks enhance in sony . Fuji produce more contrast & crispiness than sony.🙏🏻
Thanks for the comment
Got 20 of 30..but honestly all photos are incredible. But I prefer the xt3 for usability
Thanks for the kind words!
The sony pics look too vibrant, and the bw ones look off when compared to x-t3. Very easy to distinguish
thanks for the comment
I have an a7RIVA and xt-3, and I completely love them both.
How many Fuji bodies and lenses did you use for the wedding? One body + 4 lenses?

Hard to tell a difference really, though I did get 20 out of 30 correct! 😁
