I love my x100v and have had it since launch. I have recently picked up the a7cr and started playing with the picture profiles to create film simulations and I am having some really great results. Honestly if sony just allowed us to use the luts for photo they would be changing the game.
Yeah I totally agree. Maybe if there is a little more pressure from the community and users we might get some fuji "kaizen" love in firmware updates.
Just the video I needed, tossing up between a7cii or x100vi. Thanks
I hope it helped. I was so torn but I pulled myself back from pre-ordering because I can carry less batteries and chargers, and adaptors and stuff! I am trying to shoot and simplify more now so thanks for commenting and I am glad it helped a bit.
I have the A7RV and IV. An update to the RX1 line could really take it to Fuji as that compact is great, it’s just showing its age.
I had both at one stage shooting professionally for an agency. I would say the C line are my personal favs now. I would have 1,000,000% loved a updated RX line. But I guess that is what the A7C line kind of became. One can hope
Or you could get a used A7C (the first version) with a Samyang 35mm f2.8 for about the same price as the X100V. The Sony is thicker with the lens on, around 100g heavier, and doesn't have the unique shooting experience of the fuji, but you get 5 stops of IBIS, and half a stop more light hitting the sensor wide open
Actually this is where I started. And for the past 2 years I was shooting this very set up with my Fuji x100v as a "fun" back up camera. I started to upgrade to sony lenses so I decided to clean up and consolidate my setups.
I debate between keeping my A7C2 and my Fuji XS20
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my time with my Fuji's. I just found myself carrying more gear than actually shooting so this quest of minimalism is my own goal and I thank Fuji for pushing the industry and creating solid, photographic tools. ps. Fuji XS20 is a damn good camera.
which camera out of the A7Cr and A7Cii would you get if only one
I would go for the A7Cr because the extra megapixels and detail is just amazing. Also super 35/apsc mode lets you shoot apsc lenses without sacrificing image quality.
whats the difference video wise between the A7Cii and A7Cr
The main dif between the two is one is a min Sony A74 the other is a mini A7Rv. 33mp vs 61mp and the video quality is a little better as you can get uncropped 4k compared to the A7Cr. But other than that I was told by a sony rep that there isn't a lot of difference.
idk man. i get you but its hard to compare those 2 cameras. for me they have completely different usecases. i take my x100v on every trip, on every family event, everywhere. i would not do that with a a7cii. all i want from my fuji is to have all my photos ready on the way home in the subway. the a7cii is for more professional approach which is okay. jsut 2 different fields in my opinion. still really like ur video tho! especially the sound fits good!
Part of my video (and the comparison) is really just to mentally psych myself into not buying another camera. Its hard I love the Fuji X100 system and I've owned a lot. I agree with you on the use case for family and everywhere use...definitely still smaller than my A7c's. For now I am trying to be content and cut across both personal and work...lets see if I feel the same in 6months time. thanks for commenting. Appreciate it.
chhers man! keep it up ur stuff is great! @@HotshotStudio
For me the greatest full frame digital camera ever made is the Nikon D850.
Yeah I got some pretty good arm and neck workouts with that thing
With the added grip and baseplate it's about as big as an A7IV. I own both and I sold the A7C, its compactness turns out to be marketing hype
Right on. I found the SmallRig baseplate is a tad smaller so not as big but you are right. Definitely getting up there in size.
More like a lesson of GAS😅
I regularly have GAS and I cave. Trying to keep strong this time 😆
If you are comparing X100V to low end SONY FF mirrorless camera, it just means one thing: you are not ready for X100V.
Totally man, they are such different approaches to shooting and design
:))))) "ready fro the x100v". The x100v is a cool camera, not the second coming of jesus christ
Yeah I know I know. I’m justifying my buy and trying not to cave into temptation 😂😂😂 I do own the x100v and loved the experience. I just can’t justify keep buying more stuff
