- Episode 2 from the Winthrop WA Road Trip Series! In this episode, we finally try our hand at bird and wildlife photography with our 100-400mm lenses. Suzi had the Sony 100-400mm G Master while Martin had the Fuji 100-400mm lens. After a failed attempt at finding birds, we finally found marshy wetlands where we snapped some bird shots.

This is the second episode from our Memorial Day road trip from Seattle to the Methow Valley of Washington State. The Winthrop WA Road Trip Series is comprised of behind-the-scenes vlogs and cinematic footage shot with our beloved Fujifilm X-H1 and Sony A7R III mirrorless cameras. We rented the Fuji 100-400mm and Sony 100-400mm lens and put them through various birding scenarios.

finally a video about two honest photographers no different than most of us hobbiests. Travelling , trying new gear , trying to photograph new things and not selling the location or the camera gear. . I didn't get lost in all the technical jargon I see in other videos. Just enjoying the outdoors with cameras. Thank you
This is exactly why we produce this style! Thank you
4:58 That is the alternate Yellow Warbler song if anyone was wondering
This has to be the best comparison video. While we have others doing specs comparison and all that, you guys shot simultaneously and not a test subject but an actual subject.
U guys have a really positive fun energy. Would love a relationship like this, even just platonically (first time viewing one of your guys’ videos, I’m not sure the degree of your relationship).
Thank you! We're married :)

The color of the Fuji looks way better. Especially the greens. Never noticed in urban shoots, but it's so obvious for nature photography.
If you want to see more photos with birds and the Fuji 100-400mm visit my website: www.dirkbeckers.be any comments are welcome!
Fuji colours look really nice.....👍.
Indeed!
"So far I have a duck and a robin...." describes many of my wildlife shots :)
Hahaha! Isn't that the truth?? This was our first time birding with lenses and we thought everything we saw was AMAZING. Now we go out and are like, "another red-winged black bird?! No more!" 😂😂
@@Gemini_Connect I spent the afternoon at a park with my X-T3 and 50-140mm lens... I think I have about 100 pictures of bees, and a few squirrels. They're really sharp pics, though! :)
@@BrentODell Sharpness is what counts, lol!
Great video. The fugi color looks really good.
Thank you. Yes this is why we love Fuji!
Wow... I hate to say it but nature has done most of the work for you when you get to shoot in such a location. Nice video, guys.
Haha it's true. It's hard to take a bad photo in the Pacific Northwest!
I really like how the Fuji 100-400 obliterated the background and makes the subject pop. The out of focus area is really nice in fact I prefer it more than the 50-140 in the depth of field. Also the difference in depth of field between the Fuji and Sony is the same but the Fuji is just cropped so you get closer to your subject. Also at longer focal length the difference in depth of field between FF and APSC is quite minimal.
Agree completely. We also prefer shooting wildlife and nature with the 100-400mm, when we have one with us. Maybe we'll have to buy one!
100-400 fuji lens is for crop sensor camera and 100-400 Sony lens for full frame. So they are actually two very different focal lengths.
Sure, but that Sony camera has a crop mode
You took the elephant path :-)
Adorable!

I don't have the patience to ever be a National Geographic Wildlife Photographer. 😊 But by my naked eyeballs, its not easy to see the difference between the two lenses. However, if I had to pick, I like the Fujifilm lens better.
As for monopods, have you guys looked at the iFootage Cobra 2 Strike Monopod? It has a really unique extend / retract feature that are not in other monopods. You can increase or decrease the height of the monopod instantly by just twisting a locking grip. It also has feet for stability. Another unique feature is the quick disconnects on the top and bottom of the monopod which allows the user to quickly reconfigure the monopod. The whole thing is solidly constructed. Since I shoot mostly video, this monopod gives me a ton of flexibility. Note - I am not a paid spokesman for the product. I just like it a lot.
Another great video. 👍👍 Cheers. 🥂
Isn't it a striking difference between the two lenses? We also prefer the Fuji's output for sharpness and color (footage from both is straight out of camera, ungraded). Haven't heard of the iFootage, but it sounds pretty swell. I'd say we have more than enough monopods at the moment, but will definitely keep it in mind if we have a need for another 😀
This Russian accent makes me proud :)
😃😃😃
When u see in the monitor all looks same picture we people head ache will start use one system and upgrade that too also same images in the computer
Looks like a win win to me.
Yes, both lenses are high quality.
Really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks heaps for sharing.
Thanks for watching. More are on the way!
Stuck between a6400 and the xt-30 which one should I go for? I like street photography and travel
I would buy the Fuji. They are better crop cameras
Great video! You’re both so fun and positive :)
Great chanel !
Thanks! We have another one for travel - Gemini Discover - if you like that kind of content
In my opinion, what mattes a zoom lens is first how well it focuses and the sharpness. Not sure which IS works better, but sony looks a tad sharper. But sony's more expensive.
Agree, lens responsiveness is key. I don't think either of us struggled with that feature, but the autofocus is generally much better and faster on the Sony.
Well done! I am also very interested in bird photography. I like Fuji colour but also like Sony AF. Would you recommend XH1 or A7r plus 100-400 for landscape and bird photography?
I would wait for XT4
@@Gemini_Connect THX!me too! I just found 2 second hand fuji 100-400 and a 50-140 plus 2X with sample price, difficult decision to buy which as 50-140 had multiple functions
what is your conclusion between sony and fuji 100mm to 400 mm lens ?
Both are amazing. Sony costs more and fits a full frame so it gives you more image quality, but the Fuji seeems more stable and gives you better color. We'll have more conclusive thoughts in the next couple of episodes.
@@Gemini_Connect Thanks, i know somebody who change all is X-t3 kit for Canon R. If i look at is photo with the X-T3, the colors is more rich but with the Canon R the details seems sharper. It's not so easy when it is time to purchase....rich color vs more details loll. Thx for your great videos, always enjoy to look at them..
@@AlainLafleche1 thanks for watching. Yes the full frames will give you better image quality, it's undeniable, but Fuji has other strengths like color, handing. It's a preference in the end of the day
Great videos . Got both cameras and I’m deciding on one of those lenses
Nice. Let us know which one you go with. We're looking at buying the Fuji 100-400mm.
Gemini Connect I will. In terms of ibis, sharpness and autofocus. Which one would you go with? Sony or Fuji ?
@@tacorevenge87 Fujifilm X-H1 has better IBIS for sure, but Sony has better auto focus. Both are really, really sharp. There are some tradeoffs, but you can't go wrong with either one.
Gemini Connect thank you 🙏
Fujifilm XH seems to be better
I'm not sure why the comparison using a Sony A7RIII instead of an A9 or an X-H1 instead of an X-T3. The latter camera models would have better exploited those lenses.
Because that's what we have
I kind of thought that might be the case. The A9 body and the X-T3 body are both much more suited to bird photography because of their faster AF tracking response.
Love your content amiga
Thank you!
You can't truly compare the full frame Sony lens 100-400mm to the Fujinon 100-400. Fuji is technically 150-600mm. Just saying!
Sony full-frame cameras have the ability to shoot in APS-C mode, which makes them slightly more comparable. Just saying 😉
역시 후지 색감은 소니도 못따라가네
Just wish fuji was a smaller being apsc, from this video looks the same size as the sony 100-400
Well it's just glass. The crop means the you get 1.5 the focal length than the Sony, not that the glass is smaller
@@Gemini_Connect it could/should be considering it has to project a smaller image than the ff one
Fuji Only 3 tiny screws screwed into plastic holding heavy front elements . VERY cheap quality, Disappointing
like 2:38
I think sony lens is much shaper , fuji not bad, but not fantastic as canon L lens or sony gm
Yeahhhh I (Suzi) have to agree. Canon L lenses are still my absolute favorite in terms of image quality, but I'm not sold on Canon mirrorless yet.
