I don’t think Fuji should be worried… yet. But if this convinces Sony and canon to start doing retro bodies and lenses to match then they’ll have a little to worry about.
Fuji still won't have to worry. The beauty of having a fuji camera is not needing to export raws and edit them to get beautiful looking photos. Their film sims are way ahead of everyone else.
It's not like people who are spending 1000+ usd on cameras are doing it based on their looks lol. Looks sure are nice but it's like the last attribute.
@@huehuehue-x3c for hobby photography film is nice feature, but that's not why pros are buying fuji cameras for professional use.

The reason why pros are buying fuji is simply because it's still gets job done whilst aps-c format lenses compared to full frame being cheaper and more compact.
@@huehuehue-x3ccancelled my Fuji X100VI order for this ZF. Full frame in a compact body with the option to add lenses later (if you really want that)+ weather sealing outta the box + better ibis & better low is too good to pass on
@@BR-pm6hy you canceled the order because you don't want to wait, not because the ZF is a better camera. They're not even comparable. Calling the ZF a "compact body" is hilarious.
Loved it in photos and videos, but it's much bigger and heavier in person than I expected, and the grip is nonexistent/useless IMO. Bought a X-T5 instead, and very happy with it.
I have been watching your content for a long time mate love your video by the way. But I have a big question when you gonna make a video about shutter count of a camera ? Like does it really matter if a camera has a huge shutter count?does it worn down the sensor? And I also heard that some seller usually decrease down shutter counts using some machine or thing. Help us with the Shutter count topic video.❤
I would’ve liked it to be a DSLR. I know they are inferior (having owned them and switched to mirrorless). I just feel like the mirror slapping would add to the sound and feel and overall aesthetic of an old camera. I feel the same way about Fuji
@@harveymanfrantinsingin7373 It has 3d tracking, up to 8 stops of image stabilization, pixel shift, uses eye detect autofocus while using manual focus lenses, similar weather sealing to the z8, first camera to use ibis which is around the focus point rather than just the center of the sensor, 10 bit 422 video recording and possibly the best autofocus in lowlight with the ability to focus at -10ev.
Honestly, I don’t see it as a response to Fuji because in order to really be a responde in todays market you have to really shine and this one, besides the larger sensor, doesn’t impress too much. Not saying it with any bad feelings or intentions, just my honest reaction to the specs. I feel Fuji, even with the smaller sensor, are better overall.
you're right on the processor part, however it has the BSI sensor of the Z6/Z6II/D780. The Z5 has an older non-BSI sensor that was shared with the D750.
it's not going backwards, it's removing the extra steps of editing and post processing. you can blame fuji for the "moving backwards" but they stuck to their identity as a company, it's unique selling point, and it paid off
How is the Zf STILL playing catch-up with even the X-T3? Besides the IBIS and being FF, it's still a marked downgrade from the X-T3 and can't even be compared to the X-t4/5
@@azimow2905 Shallow grip, sensor resolution, while FF, is still lower than the X-T3's 26mp (not that MP means all that much), "black and white mode" is just kind of LOL compared to the film sims from Fuji, build quality still pales, no aperture ring on the lenses is also pretty funny. Burst mode on x-t3 is 11fps which is only *slightly* below the burst rate from a camera that came out nearly 10 years *after* the x-t3. There's a reason why Nikon is almost universally clowned these days
@@RSA548 All arguments except for the grip - complete bullshit, especially continuous shooting, who the fuck needs more than 10 frames per second except serozny sports shooting and wildlife shooting, and that 10 frames is enough.

@@RSA548 Fuji has many different profiles trivially because they produce film, Nikon alas only produced cameras and optics.

@@azimow2905 even on a mirrorless level, there is *no* reason to choose a Nikon over Canon, Sony or Fuji, like at all. Unless you want to pay the same amount for a plastic body with a terrible control scheme.

Black and white without editing. All camera's make b+w pictures cause they can't see color. The color picture we see is ALLWAYS generated by the camera
I think you've completely missed the point. Irrespective of how the camera collects the data needed to produce a colour image, the standard output of most cameras is a colour image, which you then have to manually convert to B&W. This camera allows you to output in B&W straight out of the camera so that you don't need to do any additional work to it.
@TomCalton Even my d600 does that only I need to go into the menu and change settings. So yes the switch is nice but more camera's have this option hidden. When making raw/nef pictures always set your display to b+w you will see so much more details on the screen than in color.

Wish i had a spare $2k sitting around :( that piece is gorgeous.
I am still in love with my old Fuji XT-2 😍😍
that's cool to have a modern camera in a retro housing! I was wishing for something like that when I was still using an AE-1 after DSLRs were around.
Just got a Zf after debating between it and the X-T5. Went to hold both and, frankly, Fujifilm's build quality is not up to snuff.
Great piece of kit.
Loved it in photos and videos, but it's much bigger and heavier in person than I expected, and the grip is nonexistent/useless IMO. Bought a X-T5 instead, and very happy with it.

Light weight Camera, lens selection image quality still Fuji XT30II is the king.
I own Fuji xt10, xt30ii and compared to zf even with just the 40mm f2, fuji is sh*t.
I love that dedicated b&w switch.its annoying having to make 3-4 presses to get there in my cannon .hehe
I don't like nikon but man the first time I held a Zf I instantly fell in love with its beauty.

Buy a Nikon Df then... ;) same shape except it's a DSLR.
@@delowanfocus full frame?
@@Deca.Knight yeah the Nikon Df is a full frame DSLR, in the same shape of the Zf. Look for it.
That looks clean
A bunch if improvements $$$$$$$$$$
So, pretty much a Z6II in retro clothing! Lol
Actually more like a z6 iii
yeah it really isn't

Yesterday saw one in the wild (Mediamarkt). Looks nice, haven't tried though.
Good quality
I like the idea, but it doesn't feel nearly as solid as the fuji x100 series for example. And it doesn't have a joystick. I'll pass on that one 🤷🏻
X pro 4 Nikon edition
It’s a beautiful camera but no thumb grip is terrible miscalculation on nikons part. Even small xt 30 has one.
Nice❤
Only a couple of retro looking lenses. The rest you have to use FTZ adapter and will stick out like a sore thumb.

No aperture ring on lens destroys this good idea
I wonder how this compares to my Z50
Haha, the z50 (I also have one) doesn't feel plastic atleast and also we have the upper hand in ergos. Weather sealing makes it a tie.
Create a problem and sell the solution!
I want fuji for film sims. Nokon fc doesnt do that right?
Kind of, but you'll have better experience with the Fuji
That's a good upgrade from the zed fc. I carry my Zed fc around with me a lot hoping for that nice photo opportunity. Still love my Zed fc.
Full frame?@
Thraaaaaaaash
Sadly no support for AF or AFD nikon lens
You'll miss a decent grip
No film simulation tho
It has the sensor of the Z5 and the processor of the Z9
you're right on the processor part, however it has the BSI sensor of the Z6/Z6II/D780.
The Z5 has an older non-BSI sensor that was shared with the D750.
Once they release proper retro style lenses it will be pretty good. However, I'm still rocking with Fuji.
It’s basically what they think the z6Iii will be.
Fujifilm have the medium format system, very superior to full frame !
For very niche applications.
Jesus christ. I wanted the fc so badly but I didnt buy it because of the aps-c sensor. This changes everything. And my wallet.
Would be nice to see a Z M or Z MF 😂😂😂
Zed

The manual dial approach is far more intuitive and usable than the masp system.
Manual controls > PSAM, any time I use a PSAM system, it feels uncomfortable and janky
Gimmick!
