    Objectively, the Sony is the better overall system, but if Fuji inspires you to get out there and shoot more, stick with it. I recently picked up a Nikon Zf and am LOVING it! It's the camera that Fuji should have made, but sadly never did.

    For all who think buying Fuji, I share my experience and my humble opinion for the xh2. It’s simple : if you want a good autofocus forget Fuji. Really a very big issue with it. Even when the camera have green box on subject , it is out of focus a vast majority of the time. Very frustrating. All the rest is very good with Fuji, but not autofocus .

    So the only reasons are viewfinder/lcd/lack of joystick, which is understandable, even though it seems Sony and Fuji has the same size viewfinder. Would these stop others using Sony APS-c? Maybe not. Always try things out and make your own decisions!

Ive been looking into getting an apsc camera to complement my a9 for when I need a more portable wildlife kit. Ive been tempted to get a fuji camera but in the end I think it makes more sense for me to commit to 1 lens system, even with its flaws. Ive ordered a a6700 with the 70-350mm.

    "It's hard to find a bad camera in 2024." I say this to a lot of people and it's very true. These days I think people need to go hands on at a store or something or rent and pick their camera that way. If you like holding it and it makes you want to shoot then that's the camera that you buy. I don't even like holding or looking through Sony cameras after owing them for a few years and getting out of that system. I'm Nikon and Fuji.

    i agree that its hard to find a bad camera in 2024. i was just watching a big documentary on youtube and it was in 480p, and still had million views. ive seen multiple 1080p documentary and the camera quality isnt great but people enjoy it and no one complained about the camera quality. even mr beast has many parts of his videos using canon g7x or phone. anyone at this stage can just go for anyone of these cameras. a6700 is a good camera just like fuji xs, canon r series, panasonic s5ii etc. it would depend on what the beginner is doing mainly, for long video id recommend fx30 and s5ii. for photos any of these are good. feel also is good, but personally im a fan of just any camera brand. i like em all.
    i personally use canon r10, r6ii, zv1.

    So, to summarize from a straight out of camera photo. The Sony 6700 is clinical and precise, and the Fuji’s are soft and warm? Perhaps there are better adjectives here? Other than that, the Fuji is more pleasing to dial in I take it. This said, from a purely technical side, I would put up with the ergonomic short comings as if I wanted a more clinical precise shot, product shots for instance, I would have a harder time sharpening a soft warm shot vs having it the other way around. Transversely getting the same warm and soft style the Fuji profiles have would be easier in post. I think you can get Fuji LUTs and use them with the Sony I think? I need to check that actually.

    I agree, the Fuji XS20 is the better camera and it’s even €200 cheaper. For me, Sony APSC is in a weird spot, because you don’t have Fullframe advantages but you also don’t have the Fuji rendering, style and lenses. Then the LCD and viewfinder is worse as well. If I were to give up Fuji for Sony, it’d be a compact Fullframe, but the ones that compare to the quality of the XS20 video features are in a whole different price category.

    I agree with everything you said… my thought was this camera system is SO PERFECT, it doesn’t make you work for the photo at all… and therefore you’re a little less proud of the photos you get. I also think the noise performance on Fuji is a bit better, or at least more pleasing to my eyes even though that’s subjective.

      @dzheyd9609 8 месяцев назад +2

      55-210 is trash, dont bother byuing it. Only if you need good reach at very low price. There is no good telephoto for apsc with constant aperture, so lots of people use Tamron 70-180 or Sony 70-200 f4 second hand.
      16-50 is ok for compactness, but I recommend sigma 18-50 because this way you would see biiig difference with 1 inch camera. Sigma 18-50 is gorgeous compact lens. With 16-50 I think you would be dissapointed.
      I am talking about mostly about video. And for video variable aperture is a no go! Constant aperture eliminates much of headache.
      Also consider wide angle prime. Best one for now is Viltrox 13mm 1.4. It is way much better than Sony 11 1.8. Because sony one is not 1.8 factually. More like 2.2 which is too dark and also is veeery cheap built

Its very annoying...I was hooked by Fujifilm at first but not anymore in the foreseeable future as im selling and moving on to sony. Also another thing on fuji , the AutoISO doesnt respect the set minimum shutter speed and adjust constantly once ISO has reached its maximum capped setting. I would be okay to get an underexposed shot and adjust in post rather than a shot that is out of focus due to the subject movement.

    Hi Luca! Very good video, thank you! I shoot both Fuji and Sony (And lumix :-D) For me personally, Fuji and Sony share the same "mental space". I don't shoot profesionally by the way. My problem is, I like both systems. I want to get rid of one of them, but I find they complement each other. In one side, I really love the full frame look, and I really prefer a full frame system to play with vintage glass. And I shoot a lot with vintage glass. In the other hand, for semi-profesional usage, I prefer my fuji, the pictures that you get out of the camera, without any retouch, are just perfect, and the film simulations, for me, are really a pleasure to use. And I have my small lumix that I really enjoy for street photography :-D I'm thinking that I'll keep everything and I'll stop overthinking 😀
