G9 on stabe alone sinks Fuji. I have the XT-2 and on a gimbal it does great for 1080 60p - so unless you need 4K - and most vloggers don’t - buy a XT-2 for peanuts (made in Japan, superior build quality to XT-4) and buy in when Fuji delivers on glass for video.
@6:35 I love how you put one video slightly behind the other for the autofocus test so you have a chance to look at both cameras for the same movements. No one else does this.
What I see : Fuji : Fast autofocus but sometimes not accurate, really good color science (looks cinematic), not very good stabilization, good dynamique range G9 : good stabilisation, not very good dynamique range, skin looks yellowish in the shadow, very slow autofocus thanks for the video btw !
The g9 is the perfect camera because it's not perfect. It's good enough for everything. I bought mine for sports photography and ended up using it for video during remote learning.
I own G9 it is a beast the best camera for money I even sent a7iii back and kept my G9 just due to amount of features was thinking about getting xt4 but G9 seems just as good if not better in 90% of your category only area it slips is autofocus and a little detail
Now with latest firmware updates G9 is even more of a beast! 😎 Sony presents ZV-E10 for vloggers. No 4K60, crop in 4K30, no stabilization, 10 years old UI. Like bruh…
@@MGalaxy best thing is I suppose the weight I'm considering a g9 but worried it will be too heavy to walk around for these kind of videos and it isn't a quick get out and take a photo kinda camera like the Sony-ZVe10 is I'd really like a decent camera that can fit in my pocket
I am glad you are real. Everyone is so mega hype about fuji. I am glad I went with the g85 . I am happy with it and it was a super bargain for 700 USD with two lenses, bag, extra battery, and SD card from B+H
Kasey, I think you've got a lock on the "in-the-field review/comparison". Its a great mix of vlog/review/blog humor. A very new and interesting form of edutainment.
Kasey cranked up the FPS for the woodpecker footage. Even at regular speed, I saw a flicker. I'll show myself out. But first: the G9 IMO has much better stabilization in almost every mode. Fuji's AF and exposure looked better except in severe backlight, which G9 did better. And that plane looked like a B-17 of WWII vintage. Maybe heading for a Canada Day air show?
can easily tell the X-T4 as the AF captures the eyebrow in perfect focus and leaves the pupil out of the focus plane. same as the X-T3 did. Fuji even at toneh 2.0 is the Perfect camera system for eyebrow fetishists
16:00 This seems to be the only still flying Avro Lancaster in North America. 75 year old plane, stationed in Hamilton, on it's first public flight this year.
The Fuji did seem better with the new firmware. I saw a YT vid earlier today (and I've already lost it) with a young chap talking about the Philip Bloom XT4 focusing test. He tried the Viltrox Canon EF to Fuji adapter instead of using the native lenses. It seemed a big improvement.
Love those Fuji colours and dynamic range... but have to admit that dollar for dollar, the Panasonic G9 is one heckuva deal. Tough to beat if you're on a budget looking for a very capable camera that is seriously comfy ergonomically in a rugged body. Still prefer the G9 IBIS though, and the auto-focus has improved immensely since the last firmware update. Can't go too wrong with either system -- depending on your intentions and expectations. Almost a draw here.
Heckuva deal but when phones are as capable as they are today, theres no room for "ok" cameras imo. They need to be absolutely magical for me to deal with the cost, bulk, fiddling with post processing etc. So average general purpose slow zoom lenses make zero sense to me.
Great test. Hands down better DR on the Fuji. Nicer bokeh too. G9 is way better stabilized, and shows way better colors. Fuji colors make your shirt pink and your face gets a greenish cast in the mids and shadows. Great face colors on the G9, in the highs, mids and shadows. For me three year old G9 wins. Did your adjust the brightness and shadow curves on the Panny? It might help to compress the DR. 👍
if you're wearing the red shirt, I can usually pick out which camera is the Fuji ( because its always rendered more magenta-ish than red). on the other hand to your credit - the Toneh going on is equally great on both despite the sensor difference
In terms of stabilization G9 looks better. Af is also looks better on g9. Xt4 is more snappy but this is not good thing in video. While I was considering a xt4 as my next camera, now Im thinking that twice cheaper and older G9 beats it in most situations. Thanks for that great test ;)
Im waiting on my Motorolla Razor with Leica M mount to come in. It will be the ultimate Vlogging setup battery specs say it will last 50hrs record time 300hrs standby. 25 stops dynamic range, also comes with their patented Blind Person assist.
Hey -- remember -- face tracking is not directly linked to AF -- on these two cameras for sure (and most others). Just because the face/eye detect grabs your face or eye does not guarantee that the AF system sets focus on your face or eye. We have seen that in just about all reviews of these and more cameras (yes, even Sony) -- why? I have no idea, it is pretty stupid if you ask me not to lock the AF to the face/eye detect better. But there are definitely times where the face detect box is locked on your face yet the AF (both XT-4 and G9) jumps somewhere else.
Panasonic hands down. Equally good auto-focus. Equally good images (different, but equal). Equally good sound. However, the Panasonic has Superior IBIS (Wayyyyyyyy superior). I would take the Fuji every time for photos though. OOOooohhhh those wonderful manual controls on the Fuji.
Great to see your comment on PB video, I saw it and thought of you! Right serious comment day today, impressed with Fuji pre amps! Thought they would be shit, Fuji warpy shit was appalling! Worse than G9. Your auto focus test showed up the Fuji hunting after finding focus but as Philip showed it's down to old lenses. I'm enjoying my 12 - 60 Leica on my GH5, and your test only confirmed how good it is. Anyway what happened to Stacey?
05:37 The G9 completely loses focus and pulls the background You at 05:44: "I'll tell ya... I'm struggling with this Fuji... it just loses me so much" I think the Panasonic was more consistent, but significantly slower to catch focus once it realized it lost it. There were several points where the Fuji lost focus, but as soon as it figured it out, "BAM" it was in focus. I think this was the first video you've done with the Fuji where I fully noticed the pulsing focus. In your other video tests, it was there but not as drastic. Still prefer the Fuji colors... and that bird video with the Fuji alone was gorgeous. The main thing I don't like about the Panasonic is that it really seems to crush the blacks so hard compared to the Fuji. Weird, that during your stabilization tests at the 13:46 mark, for whatever reason the Panasonic started pulse focusing. I think that was the first time I've seen it do that. Still going to give it to the Fuji... sorry. I know others will disagree. The G9 did a great job, but it just didn't have that cinematic quality.
First off the XT4 AF was worlds better this time after your update. It was clearly better than the G9. Clearly. I'm amazed at how many time you 'think' it's not focusing on you and it is. The only trouble I saw was with the woodpecker until you used the touchscreen, otherwise the AF was as good as anyone could expect from a mirrorless. Even at the end when you thought the AF jumped to the trees, it was clearly locked on to your face. I was hysterical that you claimed it was jumping to the trees. I'm really not sure what you're watching...maybe Tony's videos? The question I have for you is how you set your WB. If you're using AWB (no shame), you should be selecting AWB 'W', not plain AWB or AWB 'A'. When I first got the camera I tried plain AWB and thought the color was too cool. Selecting AWB-W gives me colors that are the best I've seen in any camera I've owned while using AWB. It's really that good. There were times in your video that the color looked too cool and reminded me of when I used plain AWB. You're getting there, you'll learn this beast of a camera soon. ;)
I'm talking about what I'm seeing on the screen. It shows the eye box disappear sometimes and I'm pointing it out, I never said it actually lost focus. And when I'm talking about it jumping to the trees (which it did plenty in this video) I'm talking about the past. It's still very unreliable in these lighting conditions. We haven't had a cloud day in weeks. And yes, I'm in AWB with white priority from the beginning.
I wish you could try the Fujinon 16mm 1.4 . That is Fuji's best lens. When you have the sensitivity and tracking numbers dialed in, it's the Winner!!!!
Fuji has some improvements with the new firmware, but no better than the G9 which has an IBIS hard to match. Fuji XT4 has faster autofocus, and that's it.
Wow ! That's a close call. I'm a fuji fan bitch, but I'd have to say for vlogging the panny seems better. But saying that, once the mythical media mod becomes reality, the goho would definitely be the way forward.
@@cameraconspiracies Translation error - not "Eye autofocus" but rather "Cry autofocus" intended to make you cry when it's smooth and accurate then loses you at the critical moment :/ P.S. Revoring review!
Back in UK G9 cost £900 less compared to XT4. That is a lot of money. Can get DJI mavic air 2 and g9 for the process of xt4. And that is what I did. Very happy with panasonic. Especially when travelling, the size of lenses is so beneficial if you do hike 2/3 weeks 10h daily and do that 4 times a year. Yet I would never say no to Sony a7 III.
Panasonic has great ibis, fuji has nice colors and 4k60 for a great price (their autofocus is bleh, and ibis isn’t great). Sony a7s iii has everything but good ibis, and it costs 2x for the body and lenses. Fuji wins for multi-cam shoots for cost.
Love your videos! I was wondering what kind of selfie sticks are you using? Not sure if I should invest in a gimbal instead for the G9 for selfie videos. I'm debating between the f1.4 12mm for $700 mint or $350 15mm f1.7, I primarily want to use the lens for handheld video and some photo.
The title should read "Best Vlogging Camera?". As he briefly mentions, he's only testing one use case. To declare that Fuji is "not good for video" is too broad a statement. It really depends on usage. For cinematic work (narrative film, commercials, music videos) I would take the Fuji over the Panasonic. Vlogging relies heavily on a "run and gun" style of filming similar to doing news coverage and documentary work which I think the Panasonic comes out on top.
Extremely clever, how DID you synchronise 2 exactly the same vlogs, 1 wearing that pink t-shirt (available for purchase) and the other in a Red t-shirt (available for purchase)?
Hi Casey, which one does red best - only you know the real color of that t-shirt? In the shade the Pannie makes your shirt looks red, but in the sunshine it looks orangey. The Fuji makes it look pinkish, but is at least consistent in shade and sunshine. I prefer Panasonic blacks and their blue sky a little at the start 0:29, but the Fuji blue sky looks better towards the end in your backlit test. Fuji greens look nicer - man there really is no such thing as the perfect camera lol. Thanks bud.
Thought the XT4 AF was pretty solid in this vid. Seemed much more locked on than the G9 (except for the woodpecker). Also there were a couple of times you said the Fuji was jumping around when it didn’t seem like that at all. But I am a Fuji owner so maybe that bias is kicking in hardcore.
I dont see what his complaints are. Fuji seems to focusing very fast and grabs him when he came in and out frame very quickly. The color on the Fuji is more pleasing and natural and of course the bokeh is better due to the ASPC sensor. Im very familiar with the way Panasonics tends to overexpose the sky. Lol. The XT4 is quite exciting...
Have you ever considered giving us your conclusions in a piece to camera back at home? Your videos are hilarious but you spend the whole time asking us "is this good?" "Is this terrible?" but you never answer the questions. Lol
Well done Kasey. A great comparison on these cameras. In my opinion I fell the G9 had the better overall stabilization but the Fuji better color and exposure . I feel strongly if Fuji can add in their next firmware update a “focus limiter” option (near and far). This may help greatly in the jumping to the background. Kasey, I also appreciate the possibility that you may have believed one of my ideas that the jumping focus of the Fuji to the trees is the software believing it sees faces there. I know this may not be in your wheel house, but try taking 5-10 “pictures” of the location you are in with trees like this video. And play them back in camera, you should find some have “DETECTED FACE” option show up in just a tree/ leaves shot. Who knows this could be the issue we find in videos as well.....?
The stabilization is still better on the Panasonic G9. The colors on the red shirt are a little off on both, though the Panasonic does nail it at times. The Panasonic tends toward orange and the Fuji more pinkish. There was no clear winner.
I appreciate your videos. I have to tell you that I can't hardly watch the video when you do the "slow-motion" running thing across the road. I'm afraid that one day you'll get a setting so slow, that you won't be able to get out of the way of the car, and it will be the end of you; what will your mother and all your fans do without you?
Have you tried only lens stabilization on the XT4 with the 10-24? The EOS R looks much less warpy when it's wide with just lens stabilization and I'm interested to see if it's the same with the Fuji.
Man I see what you are saying though, there are times I prefer one over the other. Both have great features at one point, and both have shortcomings. Ahhhh 🤷🏻♂️ lol
I can always tell the Panasonic because the blacks are darker, the image is always seeming to be darker in general to me, though it looked pretty good when you changed the EV. It does that on my GX85 too, it's annoying, changes back constantly.
Without a doubt the g9. Zv1 is just another rx100, and for video they are bang average. However I would say the colour science has improved on the zv1.
No worries bro. I'm upgrading to a G9 from an RX100 M4 which is comparable to the zv1. I have some videos on my channel if you want to get a feel for it, particularly a new video in New Zealand of some blue pools. It offers pleasant video, but it's just so limited, so an upgrade is overdue. ☮️
I agree Fuji is good in full manual. Otherwise the exposure stepping is very annoying. Ibis is good enough, except for wide angle. It’s just not as good as micro 4/3 or even Canon eos-r with the good lens stabilization. From what I have seen Canon or Sony is best all around for video.
The "warpy shit" comes probably from the high barrel distortion of the ultra wide angle lenses. The de-warping of those cameras does not seem to account for the IBIS-driven sensor capturing different areas, when moving around. The Ultra Wide Angle "Zero-D" Primes from Laowa might not show this warping. Actually I'd be very interested to see, if this is actually the case. They're only manual ... but maybe this can even be an advantage for Vlogging? (Also they're super lightweight.)
Philip Bloom had a very good test on the fujifilm xt 4(old version) and autofocus. Its something like 16-55 2.8 was one of the best for video. He also shows the setup (speed etc). Check that video out and learn:) Older fujilenses not so good. Test out the 16-80mm. You will be suprised by that lense. Ibis looks better after firmware,have not testet it fully but its on the right direction. Dont forget, they are coming with new lenses this year:)
@@tomslittlecorner Compare 16-55 f2.8 to Sony's 16-55 f2.8 in size and quality or to Nikon 24-70 f4 S line. Both of them smaller and equal or better in image quality. Fuji 16-80 is mediocre lens.

The g9 is the perfect camera because it's not perfect. It's good enough for everything. I bought mine for sports photography and ended up using it for video during remote learning.

Panasonic has great ibis, fuji has nice colors and 4k60 for a great price (their autofocus is bleh, and ibis isn’t great). Sony a7s iii has everything but good ibis, and it costs 2x for the body and lenses. Fuji wins for multi-cam shoots for cost.
Disappointing effort capturing the Lancaster. Didn't you hear those 4 Merlin engines coming?
Love your videos! I was wondering what kind of selfie sticks are you using? Not sure if I should invest in a gimbal instead for the G9 for selfie videos. I'm debating between the f1.4 12mm for $700 mint or $350 15mm f1.7, I primarily want to use the lens for handheld video and some photo.
Amazon shop in description for gear I use.
The title should read "Best Vlogging Camera?". As he briefly mentions, he's only testing one use case. To declare that Fuji is "not good for video" is too broad a statement. It really depends on usage. For cinematic work (narrative film, commercials, music videos) I would take the Fuji over the Panasonic. Vlogging relies heavily on a "run and gun" style of filming similar to doing news coverage and documentary work which I think the Panasonic comes out on top.
Extremely clever, how DID you synchronise 2 exactly the same vlogs, 1 wearing that pink t-shirt (available for purchase) and the other in a Red t-shirt (available for purchase)?
Hi Casey, which one does red best - only you know the real color of that t-shirt? In the shade the Pannie makes your shirt looks red, but in the sunshine it looks orangey. The Fuji makes it look pinkish, but is at least consistent in shade and sunshine. I prefer Panasonic blacks and their blue sky a little at the start 0:29, but the Fuji blue sky looks better towards the end in your backlit test. Fuji greens look nicer - man there really is no such thing as the perfect camera lol. Thanks bud.
Really interesting, I have no axe to grind here but based on reviews I expected fuji to win easily, thanks for correcting me !
Thought the XT4 AF was pretty solid in this vid. Seemed much more locked on than the G9 (except for the woodpecker). Also there were a couple of times you said the Fuji was jumping around when it didn’t seem like that at all. But I am a Fuji owner so maybe that bias is kicking in hardcore.
Fuji did dreadful in comparison! What video did you watch lol
Plane spotting AVRO Lancaster bomber at 16:00.
It also depends on the lens and your settings->watch phillip blooms latest Fuji AF video
G9 bargain of the decade
The G9 WINS!!!
I dont see what his complaints are. Fuji seems to focusing very fast and grabs him when he came in and out frame very quickly. The color on the Fuji is more pleasing and natural and of course the bokeh is better due to the ASPC sensor. Im very familiar with the way Panasonics tends to overexpose the sky. Lol. The XT4 is quite exciting...
Have you ever considered giving us your conclusions in a piece to camera back at home? Your videos are hilarious but you spend the whole time asking us "is this good?" "Is this terrible?" but you never answer the questions. Lol
Mark Hazeldine that’s right!
Well done Kasey. A great comparison on these cameras. In my opinion I fell the G9 had the better overall stabilization but the Fuji better color and exposure . I feel strongly if Fuji can add in their next firmware update a “focus limiter” option (near and far). This may help greatly in the jumping to the background. Kasey, I also appreciate the possibility that you may have believed one of my ideas that the jumping focus of the Fuji to the trees is the software believing it sees faces there. I know this may not be in your wheel house, but try taking 5-10 “pictures” of the location you are in with trees like this video. And play them back in camera, you should find some have “DETECTED FACE” option show up in just a tree/ leaves shot. Who knows this could be the issue we find in videos as well.....?
I was hoping that the Panasonic G9 wasnt the magenta looking one and was pleased to find out it wasn't lol thanks for making this.
The stabilization is still better on the Panasonic G9. The colors on the red shirt are a little off on both, though the Panasonic does nail it at times. The Panasonic tends toward orange and the Fuji more pinkish. There was no clear winner.
Interesting G9 AF is slower but more natural.
Try the 16mm 1.4 on the Fuji... I’m betting that’s a great blogging lens
kept saying the fuji losing him but the g9 kept hunting lmao
Glad I'm not the only with my XT4 losing me. I'm editing a video at the moment and the POS is constant finding faces on my wall!
Maybe it was just your flippy screen and the walking. But watching the Fuji footage seems fine. Locked-in autofocus almost all the time.
Which Fuji metering mode (photometry in fuji speak) was in use for the testing?
Fuji, why can't you beat a simple G9? You were the chosen one!!! Darth XT4.
Once you notice the Fuji lens breathing in and out it can't be unseen.
Learning how to tell by the footage stability
I appreciate your videos. I have to tell you that I can't hardly watch the video when you do the "slow-motion" running thing across the road. I'm afraid that one day you'll get a setting so slow, that you won't be able to get out of the way of the car, and it will be the end of you; what will your mother and all your fans do without you?
i come back to this video only for this- "we got 3 systems, working... most likely against each other".
Casey, can you share a link for the locking nut cable/adaptor for your ME2 to your camera. I can't find that anywhere! Thanks!

Camera Conspiracies Thank you!!! Just ordered it! :) 👍🙏
Have you tried only lens stabilization on the XT4 with the 10-24? The EOS R looks much less warpy when it's wide with just lens stabilization and I'm interested to see if it's the same with the Fuji.
You can't.
@@cameraconspiracies that sucks!
You look the slo-mo street crossing to the next level. Impressive! Now if you could master the three-camera cinema setup...
Man I see what you are saying though, there are times I prefer one over the other. Both have great features at one point, and both have shortcomings. Ahhhh 🤷🏻♂️ lol
Honestly speaking ... G9 is better than XT4
Really I don't like it. The GH4 has open box specials
I can always tell the Panasonic because the blacks are darker, the image is always seeming to be darker in general to me, though it looked pretty good when you changed the EV. It does that on my GX85 too, it's annoying, changes back constantly.
I asked the engineer to remove the brakes from the 7D rape train.
The Fuji is looking a lot better after the firmware update
The Fuji 23mm f2 should be close to the 30mm equivalent of the Panny 15mm f1.7 as well.
HEY BOSS SO IM STILL DEBATING ON GETTING THE SONY ZV1 BUT I LIKE THE G9 WISH ONE OUT THOSE TWO YOU RECOMMEND?
Without a doubt the g9. Zv1 is just another rx100, and for video they are bang average. However I would say the colour science has improved on the zv1.
Bromar Vids thank you boss for youre info 🙏🏼
No worries bro. I'm upgrading to a G9 from an RX100 M4 which is comparable to the zv1. I have some videos on my channel if you want to get a feel for it, particularly a new video in New Zealand of some blue pools. It offers pleasant video, but it's just so limited, so an upgrade is overdue. ☮️
Thank you... The Panasonic G9 is still unbeaten by the Fujifilm X-T4...
Was that a Lancaster Bomber that flew over you?
They're both great. X-T4 is better at dynamic range and the G9 is better at....red.
From what I saw Fuji beats Panasonic in every aspect except stabilisation it has a lot of wobbly footage.
I agree Fuji is good in full manual. Otherwise the exposure stepping is very annoying. Ibis is good enough, except for wide angle. It’s just not as good as micro 4/3 or even Canon eos-r with the good lens stabilization. From what I have seen Canon or Sony is best all around for video.
Nah, Arri or Red
Don't know where you got that word "litten." Whoever has putten that word in your head is just wrong.
That Fuji is just a beast in every way and the colors are god like!
true, but the lens line up is just not for video. so...
Which one is truer to your red/pink shirt?
The "warpy shit" comes probably from the high barrel distortion of the ultra wide angle lenses.
The de-warping of those cameras does not seem to account for the IBIS-driven sensor capturing different areas, when moving around.
The Ultra Wide Angle "Zero-D" Primes from Laowa might not show this warping. Actually I'd be very interested to see, if this is actually the case.
They're only manual ... but maybe this can even be an advantage for Vlogging?
(Also they're super lightweight.)
The Laowa 7.5mm was terrible.
@@cameraconspiracies Terrible warpy shit you mean?
In that case, my theory might just be complete bullcrap. 🤓
Philip Bloom had a very good test on the fujifilm xt 4(old version) and autofocus. Its something like 16-55 2.8 was one of the best for video. He also shows the setup (speed etc). Check that video out and learn:) Older fujilenses not so good. Test out the 16-80mm. You will be suprised by that lense. Ibis looks better after firmware,have not testet it fully but its on the right direction. Dont forget, they are coming with new lenses this year:)
Those are both terrible lenses, way too heavy for my needs.
@@cameraconspiracies quality before weight, two of the best lenses out there:)
@@tomslittlecorner Try holding it with one arm and get back to me lol.
@@tomslittlecorner Compare 16-55 f2.8 to Sony's 16-55 f2.8 in size and quality or to Nikon 24-70 f4 S line. Both of them smaller and equal or better in image quality. Fuji 16-80 is mediocre lens.
@@cameraconspiracies already did several times. I got strong arms lol :)
Hey you should try the DJI Osmo Action with the Vlog additions suggested by Potato Jet. Reckon it might be a good lil vlogger.
I already returned it, it's trash. Can't focus closer than like 4 feet.
@@cameraconspiracies ah shit. DJI orangutan action.
