    Excellent advice, and honest review! You're right, it all depends on your needs. I can get amazing bokeh and super closeups with the Sigma f 1.4 16 mm DC DN e mount lens, on the Sony a6500. I'm testing a Fuji X T3 and the video quality in HD, 4K and 4K 60 fps is simply outstanding. It likely betters the performance of any present Sony full frame and especially the 4K 60 fps mode. Full frame is now being challenged by the newer crop sensor cameras, especially the X T3. If I still shot weddings I would work with full both full frame Sony and Fuji, full and crop. What presently keeps me away from full frame is the size, weight and cost of lenses, when I can get very similar results from a crop. I previously carried enough Canon weight. Work light, get more done.

    Looooved this video! Just Got my own Fujifilm X-T3 and this video is part of the reason. I actually did a video with my first impression of the camera, and I gotta day, I was surprised. I’ve used canon my whole photography life, but it’s always felt like the shoe didn’t quite fit right with me. The style and feeling of canon just wasn’t my cup of tea. Now the shoe finally fits and I feel more motivated than ever, with my Fuji xt3.

    I recently bought into the Fuji system (XT3 + 52mm, 23mm and 16-55), coming from full frame Canon(5DM4). Incredibly pleased so far with the transition, I really love the film simulations you can apply to the jpegs/video. Very useful for delivering quick edits to clients right on the spot via camera wifi. Focus system is great, maybe slighter under Canon's performance but not a deal breaker. Raw files, I'd have to agree with you, they are a bit of a pain to work with, especially if you're using LR. I'll definitely be using the XT3 for personal and portions of my paid work(photo and video).

    Once again, proof that the camera and lens really don't matter much in terms of quality output. It depends more on photographer skill. Also, how a camera makes you feel with respect to how it looks and feels in your hands, etc., has a significant influence on your opinion of the brand. Nice video.

    Definitely not as much difference as people might think. I currently still have my D810 and started switching to Fuji early last year. I went XT2, got a used xt1 as a backup, then the xh1, xt3 and also an x100f I have on me all the time. I traded in an old Nikon D600 back in March for the A7iii with the Sony 16-35 F4 and the 85 1.8. I did a road trip for a week and mostly ended up using the XH1 with the 50-140 stuck on it and the 16-35 on the Sony. I found the IBiS on the xh1 to be much better than the a7iii. I mostly wanted to try the a7iii for the eye af as well as low light situations as I found I was doing a lot of indoor shooting of my niece and nephew in crappy light. I found the eye AF to be a lot better on the A7iii than the XH1 and still better than the xt3, and even with the 85 1.8 on the a7iii a didn’t like the amount of noise at 6400 or 12800 iso so I’ve just started shooting with a flash indoors. Definitely have way too much tied up in gear so I might unload it all except the Xh1 and maybe wait and see what Fuji does with the next x100/ xH2. The other thing I found was I was always tweaking my Nikon and now the Sony flies but with the Fuji files I was actually just sending the jpegs right from the camera to the family.

    Thank you so much for sharing the raw files. I have always wanted to see the difference first hand on my my own computer with the raw files. I have the Fuji xt-2 and have been tempted by full frame. Now I can exactly see the difference. You did a wonderful job composing the images so closely. And thank you for shooting both at the same settings. I have head that Fuji underexposes compared to other manufactures and this show the proof of that. The difference was not as much as I though it was going to be but when you zoom in you can easily see the difference. Just more information with the full frame sensor. And the Sony colors are great. Not sure what everyone complains about with them. Straight out of camera they are more punchy than the Fuji files. Thanks again for the comparison and sharing the honest info.

    I shot Nikon FF and Sony FF and switched to Fuji XT3 earlier this year. I think we have to stop with the whole "larger sensor > image quality". Comparing files from a GFX 100 (medium format 100mp) vs XT3 with 56 1.2 and it's indistinguishable unless you zoom it 300%. So if a medium format 100mp isn't that much better than APSC a FF shouldn't be except with high ISO.

  • @deputydd4364

    I've got the XT3 and use Sony a lot too. I prefer using the Fuji but both are awesome (and XT3 with a few primes and 2.8 zooms is way cheaper (In UK Fuji + 16-55-200 2.8 zooms + 1.4 23/35 & 50 1.2 = £5611. Sony A7 + 24-70-200 F2.8 + 1.4 35/50/85 = £10157 (twice the price !)). You can switch off the Fuji Eye AF - I've set up a function button to do it so I can easily be single point or zone AF with or without Eye AF with one button press.

    • @Caracalaba
      @Caracalaba 4 года назад +1

      You should compare the crop 2.8 zooms with the f4 sony's and the 1.4 fujis with the 1.8 of the sonys. Then you'll see sonys are actually cheaper and around the same size. For me fuji makes sense with their f2 small primes, otherwise I'd choose sony

    @caught_in_my_eye 5 лет назад +6

    Thanks Chris. Having had an X-T2 in the past and now owning an A7III but not having both at the same time, i did wonder how comparable they were. Having a chancee to compare your images side by side my thoughts are similar to yours in terms of image quality; Sony being slightly ahead but both high enough as to not really matter which you pick.
    I originally missed the tactile feel of the X-T2 but having since picked up a manual focus Zeiss ZM 35mm 1.4 to use on my Sony i no longer have that craving for a more engaging experience to image capture that can be lost with the amazing advance feature set of the Sony cameras.

    • @fwfeo
      @fwfeo 3 года назад +1

      I have them both. If you stick to base ISO on the X-T2 you'll be competitive with A7III under normal circumstances, but you want to underexpose and push and pull the shadows and highlights, then you'll reveal the noise in the darkest areas on the Fuji images, so practically you have less dynamic range.
      In terms of sharpness and color they're comparable, but different looking. Fuji raw files can't be sharpened in LR, because the infamous worm artifacts, so the suggestion is to leave sharpness at zero and use texture slider instead and later in photoshop.

  • @garyking4032

    There are some nice fuji lens choices to bring back most of that shallow DOF goodness. I'm using a 35mm/0.95 (Mitakon) and 50mm/1.1 (Kamlan - coming soon). The 56mm 1.2 for AF looks like a good choice too.

I was looking online for RAW files from a7iii which were taken indoors at higher ISO's , hard to find... and since you occasionally upload some RAW's maybe you have any of these somewhere already, and you could share?

  • @aldeen1982

    The only point where Sony shines is depth of field. And the higher ISO or in other words, better ISO capeability.
    Sony is on the other hand like a computer. The menue system is like that and it behaves like a computer. The Fuji is inspirational and makes you wanna shoot again and again and again..

  • @fwfeo
    @fwfeo 3 года назад

    Everything you said about the cameras was correct, but the bit about color depth and sharpness of images was not quite right.
    Fiji sensors do provide sharper images due to lack of anti aliasing filter due to the fact that X-trans sensor is not prone to moire artifacts like bayer pattern sensors in Sony.
    The point about color depth is most likely imperceptible in most cases unless you shoot at higher ISO settings in raw perhaps.
    I've tested X-T2 against A7III multiple times and except the dynamic range and noise in the deepest recovered shadows, there's not much difference.
    By the was both SD card slots in X-T3 accept SD XC II vs one slot in A7III.

  • @jessestruyvelt7593
    @jessestruyvelt7593 4 года назад +2

    TL;DR: Sony is nice for using it professionaly with clients, it's a high tech computer which has features to make your photographers life more simple. Fuji has this as well, and it's getting better and better, but the Fuji allows me to slow down and get back to the feeling I got when I was doing photography for myself.
    Having shot film (various formats) only since I started photography 7 years ago and then switched to digital (+- 2.5 years ago) I used various cameras. Leica to Sony to Nikon to Fuji to Nikon to Sony again. All the digital things were new for me and I had to find out what worked for me. I bought the A7III at the end of 2018 with the intention of starting/doing professional photo work with it and it works flawlessly. It's the perfect camera for every situation. I rent lenses for different kind of productions/customers. I got myself the 35 1.4 Samyang (now the 35 2.8 Samyang pancake) and 55 1.8 Zeiss FE for personal stuff. To be fair, I didn't shoot much photos at all with the Sony since I got it, for personal usage. The Sony - as said before - is a very nice camera but to me it doesn't speak, it doesn't ask for it to get along with me for personal work. I got to the point that I only bring it when I am travelling (A7III + 35mm 2.8 pancake) and that's it. Sony means work for me, it's a computer, it doesn't feel like actually taking photo's like I used to when I was shooting film. I got the A7III for the fabulous eye autofocus, auto iso, low noise, good battery life. It makes things easy when shooting for a client, I only have to focus on getting the shot I want for them(!).
    Getting tired of not taking any personal work, I wanted to know what was holding me back.
    There were two reasons (for me personally): making photography a job and the above mentioned arguments about Sony. I quit taking assignments for clients, though I'd keep the Sony for maybe an unexpected assignment which I really want to do. Ordered some Fuji lenses again, still waiting to get the Fuji body I want, but I've had the X-T2 and X-E2 in the past. (Though I didn't know how to use all the fancy digital features coming from a manual film photography world). Fuji brings me back to the same feeling of shooting film, which was for me the perfect harmony. I considered going back to film for personal work but due to the enormous trend the prices inflated a lot and I can't be bothered paying this much for film (for now). Let's see what the future brings... Waiting for the X-T3 successor in February, no rush...

    Chris - your channel is definitely getting to be one of my top 10. I like how you don't "chat" 50% of the time (like Dave McKeegan) and get straight core of the video! My recently made to switch from Fuji (XT3) to Sony (a7iii). While I do have a place in my heart for Fuji (film sims are fun) and feel that they are great for crop. Now, on the A7iii, I can really see the difference - exactly like you DOF was the first thing I noticed. Additionally, for me, low light performance, + less noise and superior AF/IQ were major factors (there are many others too). I think both cameras are a great value at their price point. End of day, I would still use Sony for just about everything (pro & casual), but I wouldn't mind owning the XPro3 later this year for fun!

    Having shot both systems, I like how skin tones are rendered w/ the Fuji. I can get in camera results. From dynamic range tests, they are very close. Using a light meter, Fuji under exposes, and Sony over exposes (why light meters should still be used with digital photography). Both Sony's and Fuji's menu system can use improvements. The main reason I shoot fuji is the glass! They are sharp and have character. The 23mm and 35mm 1.4 are my favorite FujiLux's. The 16mm is amazing, sharp from corner to corner wide open w/ little distortion. Sony's biggest design flaw is the mount, originally intended for APS-C.

    Only beef I have with some of your points is build quality. Sonys are known for having half assed weather sealing at best. Even on their top tier R line (until the IV). Crappy buttons and sticks (again until the IV) and that plastic *rubber* grip texture (once again until the IV lol). Fuji primes give you the equivalent of roughly a 1.8-2.0 DOF and honestly I can't see a scenario where I NEED or even want more. People already overdo bokeh at the cost of blurring out points of focus in a photo. I'm sure by now I'm a biased muscle car guy :)

In reality either of these cameras out performs a 3k camera from not even 5 years ago and pros did just fine back then and I'd argue these haven't made them "better". Its a beautiful age for photography where pro grade gear can now be had by the masses without selling your car. I definitely will check out the A7iv when sony decides to release it. If they match the weather sealing of the RIV that would be huge (live in the PNW it's a must)

      I think I know what he’s talking about. They do edit weird. Different to any other camera.

It happens when you sharpen them. But overall they are both great.

      @@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Yeah, I have noticed the wormy thing when sharpening. My Galaxy S7 (in jpeg)was notorious for that too including its ridiculous noise reduction ;) Since then I keep both of them at a minimum (value of around 10 to 15 in LR) when possible since I don't mind a little bit of fine grain in my pictures anyway. But yeah, the Sony seems to have a tiny bit less of this wormy thing although I don't see how the Sony 'kills' it compared to the Fuji in higher ISO's. Its better, yes. But to my eyes and looking at these samples only marginally. The Fuji is probably doing some sort of processing/noise reduction - even in the raw files - which causes the wormy things.

    Thanks for your honesty,
    I have both Fuji and heaps of Canon DSLR gear, was thinking of moving to Sony to replace my full frame Canon wedding rig. But im not sure of i should wait to see if any Pro Canon mirroless is coming soon? I have too much canon glass to ignore. But i am enjoying using fuji on the weddings much lighter and the AF is spot actually i found the face detect working well, i have yet to use eye detection, I think thats overkill for my work. But the only time i turn the face detect off is when then ate more then 2 people in the frame or any crowds.
    If Fuji can bring out a new improved sensor with better high iso performance and better colour in low light? I think i will say bye bye to Canon.

    • @ChrisTurnerPhotographer

      Yeah it’s a hard one. I mean eventually you’ll have to buy new glass anyway (well not have to but you’ll want to) because they don’t work as well as Canon say they do when adapted.
      I also don’t think Fuji will ever be as good as a full frame with new technology it’s just the nature of the sensors.
      I’m sure Canon will do better and better, I just don’t believe they will be able to catch up to Sony now. They both (canon and Nikon) left it way to late

  • @gerben4875

    Sorry to say but sensor size does not affect DOF. When trying to get the same FOV a full frame sensor has more DOF, but this is because you have to use a longer focal length or get closer to the subject. The sensor size itself does nog give more DOF So, if you put a 50mm lens on a crop sensor or a full frame sensor will give the same DOF (aperture and distance being equal). Only the FOV will be different

    The only real issue (if even an issue) is that the 23mm lens is actually a 23mm and not a 35 that's why there is different rendering and bokeh.The glass elements of their lenses won't change,16mm is a 16mm lens not a 24,it's just looks like 24mm...Also about the DOF (bokeh) many companies they produce F1.1,F0.95 and F0.85 lenses so you can enjoy the creamy bokeh...

    I wished people would stop being lazy with the use of the term crop sensor. If the lens uses the full area of the sensor then nothing is cropped. Even full frame is a misnomer as it’s an arbitrary name applied to a sensor with equivalent size to the old 35 mm film but has anyone tested the diagonal measurements of competing FF sensors? Maybe they’re wildly different. Even calling them FF, aps-c or m43 is inaccurate as there are variations within those groups. It would be more accurate to say Xmm diagonal sensor camera you’re using but FF, apps-c or m43 would suffice but not crop. Thanks.

I cannot tell you the number of people who have asked what camera they should buy and I would recommend a Sony RX100 VI or a Lumix LX100 II and then they'd get FF anxiety, buy a Sony A7 III, use it once on holiday and now it's in a closet collecting dust.

The fact that the smaller sensor (XT3 uses more sensor area in most focus modes) is even being compared to the FF though pretty much tells us that the Xt3 is a beast.
