About the Z50: "You get decent autofocus in video." You were using AF-C, the good video autofocus is AF-F!

I don't know about the other cameras, but if the z50 has the same IQ as the d500 then it is leaps and bounds above the a6400 in IQ. It better in low light/high ISO and better in video IQ.

I believe the z50 sensor is newer than the a6400 sensor. Also its much better in low light. Its a smartphone consumer mindset to think that 24mp is better than 20mp

This review perfectly summaries ALL of my major frustrations shopping for reasonably priced mid-range mirrorless cameras. As I'm testing a Z50 along with my trusty D500, I've concluded that I wish "professional gear" had the scene modes in consumer cameras and smartphones. Still, I believe a better approach is to photography is hardware that utilizes a smartphone for ALL processing, viewing, and storage. Sony was on the right track with the QX series. So far the Z50 is MUCH better with faster (affordable/value) DX lenses than the Z lenses and the last firmware update.

D500/Z50 sensor is super good on High ISOs,not every fulframe sensor has comparable HighIso perfomance! Its latests,copper based design,so this sensor is still fresh.

The introductions are getting even more hilarious.

The M6ii is a very laggy camera when it comes to photos, with an obnoxiously loud shutter that vibrates through the whole body. After pressing the shutter the screen then freezes an instant that is certainly noticeable and irritating. 4.

Agree with all the video, expect with the lenses part. Yeah, Fuji has nice native APSC lenses, but the choice in sony is bigger: The Sigma trio: 16, 30 and 56mm f1.4 that give a run for the monay to the Fuji counterparts (and in the case of the 30mm and 56mm, has also better AF too). Small FF lenses: You can use the good 28mm f2, 35mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8, 55mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8. And in the case of 28, 50 and 85, they have a really good pricing too. Telephoto: Wildlife and sports are better covered with all the telephoto lenses Sony has, while Fuji only offers the 100-400 and the 200 f2 + TC. Future: Tamron just released a 28mm and 35mm f2.8 that are really good and with great close focus, with a 20mmf2.8 coming, and also a 17-28 f2.8 that is really nice. Also, Fuji has a major lens flaw: The 35mm f1.4, and 56mm f1.2 has terrible AF, and the 23mm f1.4 is far from the "Fujicrons" in this aspect too, so much that in every fujirumorus website, when they made polls about new lenses, they mark II version of this lenses are always the most demanded.

Crappy camera

I’m just so glad that through a little research and a lot of dumb luck I picked up a Sony a6000 a number of years ago on Black Friday. Sony has such a robust mirrorless system, and their one-mount strategy creates a path between their enthusiast and pro cameras, which is a very valuable benefit. When I bought my full frame body, I didn’t also have to scramble and buy all new glass because I planned ahead and bought a few full frame lenses for my a6000 before I got a full frame body.

@JB_Hobbies

3 жыл бұрын

@SF6 I disagree with you. The one mount making it easy for me to go to full frame was one of the reasons I went with Sony. This let me stay with the same system and keep all my old gear once I decided to go full frame. Knowing this, I bought both full frame and aps-c lenses for my a6000. Once I decided to go full frame, I already had some full frame lenses that I was already using and didn't immediately need to go buy new lenses. In my personal experience, I found the one mount to be very practical and valuable due to its flexibility.

God, that scene change soundbite is driving me nuts. Every time I hear it I check my phone thinking it's an eBay notification...

When shooting at ISO 1600+ at F4 -200 I got yellow and purple horizontal lines in some picture. When I was shooting outside at daylight it was gone? No idea what I did wrong. We shot at the same event with the d800 and had no problems at all. Could this be a sensor problem or am I doing something wrong? ps: the z50 was overall a lot more fun to shoot with than the heavy d800;)

Great review & comparison Chris 🙂 I'm Fuji & Canon user. Do you notice about freezing issue on X-T30? That bad thing happens a lot on mine mostly when I use it for studio portrait with manual mode (SS 1/125, ISO 160, and Aperture ranges about 4 to 8). It can freezes for more than 5 times during about 3 or 4 hours of photo shoot. It really makes me so bad because i missed a lot of great moments when taking portrait picture due to freezes accidentally. When my X-T30 freezes, the lamp indicator above joystick turn orange and I've to take the battery off then insert it again. So Annoying. I used to think this freezing issue just happens to my X-T30. But it happens too to many people I'd read/watched their experience from googling. It happened since previous generations like X-T20 or X-T2. And i wonder why Fuji doesnt aware this issue. So, in my opinion, Fuji X-T30 is unreliable camera for portrait photography untill they release new firmware to fix this annoying & embarrasing issue. Fuji should assures that everything basic is well done or running smoothly without any problem before they improve their product with additional or advanced features.

Have A6000 unused on the shelf, don‘t enjoy it. Fuji: Looks like the roundest package, but nothing longer than the XC50-230 which has f6.7 at the long end OR pay >1.000 €/$ USD.

I saw a software comment down below, so it's probably a good idea to mention that Capture One offers a Fujifilm version that is tuned to Fujifilm cameras and RAW output. Capture One is a Lightroom equivalent, and depending on who you talk to, better than Lightroom. Capture One is more expensive when buying the full camera supported version, but the Fujifilm only version is cheaper. Capture One also supports external editors, so I can jump in and out of the NIK suite or the Affinity suite without leaving Capture One. For the amateur market that these cameras are aimed at, the Capture One Fujifilm version is a good alternative. There's a Sony version as well. I've done the dial control with DSLRs, mirrorless and P&S cameras - the Fujifilm approach to a traditional control layout drew me into their product line. To my mind, this is what really separates Fujifilm from the rest. It's not for everyone obviously, but it should be given a higher profile in these reviews. We can also go the dial approach on Fujifilm cameras if we wish, so there's no loss by incorporating a traditional control layout, only gains. This is worth pointing out in reviews.

I thought a very well presented review packed with information, nice one, thanks

Wondering why cost of the cameras wasn't part of the equation as thats almost always the biggest reason to get one over the other?

Very happy with the M6II and the EF-M 32mm 1.4... Great combo (and adapter with the Tamron macro SP 90mm 2.8). No problem with the EVF, always on the camera. Great image quality and ergonomy. Video, I don't use.

My D5300 broke and I'd like to make the jump to mirrorless for my travel/kids pictures. This video helped me rule out the Canon, but I still can't decide if I should stick with Nikon so I can use my flash and DX lenses or switch to Sony (or, after watching this, maybe the T30). I mostly take pictures, so the video differences aren't important to me. Somehow I have to decide before the holidays get here, so if anyone has used these cameras and has a thought on which is best for general photos, I'd love to hear it!

I think price-performance wise it would be fair, as many are considering it in their buying choices. But then you'd also have to include cheaper FF options. I think in the end, all categories are arbitrary, in this case it's sensor size + mirrorless. I'm pretty sure DPR will also update their "best camera for under X dollars" articles.

I gotta disagree with image quality. The shitty x-trans raws knock the Fuji down to a third place in my opinion.

I just recently bought Fuji XT30 and i didnt regret buying it! And the kit lens XF 18-55mm was very superb! Amazing Fuji!

Great summary. 👍🏻 Still leaning to the LUMIX G95 as it stacks up well with this APS-C group and has great ergonomics, build, features and lens options.

@koolkutz7

G95 looks decent value for money. I ownned the G80/85 and it was pretty good with decent image quality and features. The main downside is the poor AF (especially for tracking action/wildlife), but that is the same for all Panasonic cameras sadly. The higher ISO performance is about 1 stop worse than aps-c sensor & 2 stops worse than FF sensors as to be expected.

the fact that the z50 can use any z glass seems better than the now siloed eos m mount

Thanks for the video. I am still undecided which one to pick up. May I ask what camera would be the best option to buy in long term, considering I have no video/photography experience but want to use it for general filming, travel and products' reviews. Fujifilm X-T30 Digital Cameras with XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens - Black =£990 Canon EOS M6 Mark II Mirrorless Digital Camera with Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens For Canon Mount = £874 Sony Alpha A6400 Mirrorless Digital Camera - Black with Sony SEL E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens Sony E-mount = £917 Thank you for any advice.

Don't forget what's APC and mirrorless are for in the first place ! Compactness. Remember that if you stick to a nex3-5 (no EVF) The camera really becomes pocketable. And the a6400 is already the smallest of the presented products.

You guys are awesome. 😃😃

Why snow so blue!? Some thing wrong with my eyes vs your camera!!!😁

Would you make this video again considering your views on the Z50 changed later on?

I just don't get why so many people think Fuji has a great lens choice. I've been tempted by Fuji for a long time but there is just no lens selection to compete with what I can get for Canon (any Canon mount), or Nikon, or even M43. I've checked many times. There is just no good affordable lens combo in the Fuji world. The choice is especially limited for long telephoto. Yes, they have some good lenses which are worth their enthusiast/semi pro prices but for me to perceive those as great affordable options I'd need to be surrounded by endless top new gear that someone else is buying.

We need M50 Mark ii with faster lenses.

Although apparently image quality = megapixels in this video. Not enough time spent on real resolution (AA filter), and noise quality (color vs luminance noise). And to some extent, AF and IQ are linked because IQ won't be ideal when missing focus but apparently the Canon is doing quite well in that regard.

I proposed with an original Fujifilm X100 back in 2011. Still waiting on that damned thing to boot up, focus, randomly shutdown, restart, and refocus. Hope she is still interested whenever it does.

I had an X100T before and hated the AF for people shots (it never got the firmware 4.0 updates all the other bodies in that generation got, if you can imagine that). I'm actually interested to get an OG X100 for sentimental reasons, and to ignore its AF by just setting it to manual zone focus at high F-stop and snap away in daylight. Given that the X100V hasn't come out yet, I hope it comes with X-Pro3 level AF, so it won't need firmware updates. I'm excited to see what it can do.

I'm a diehard Nikon guy but I bought a dirt cheap used a6000 (shutter actuation less than 2,000) with a pancake 20mm 2.8 lens attached to it from a lady friend. It's my get-and-go camera I use to scout construction sites (my business). After a while I gave away that a6000 body (retaining the pancake lens) and acquired a used a6300 from a neighbor who upgraded to a6500. Actually, I like the sleek, sturdy and minimalist design of Sony a6xxx series - no protruding viewfinder on the top plate. I do my first shoot with the a6300 (test and review) before I set up my Nikons. And as long as the a6xxx design remains the same I will continue to upgrade and scout for good value second-hand units

Thank you for your review and I've picked up my XT-30 yesterday. A huge improvement over my old XT-1 to be honest at a very reasonable price point.

I would avoid the Canon just because it's hard to say whether Canon have any intention of supporting the mount into the future. The Sony and Nikon share a mouth with the companies' full-frame flagship mirrorless cameras so you can count on continued support. And Fuji, without a doubt, already has the most complete APS-C mirrorless lens lineup of any mount even though there's no pathway to full-frame.

@JonInLondon

Canon are selling a lot of them though, so lenses are going to be available for a long time (plus an infinite number of cheap EF lenses to adapt). They will probably sell more M6mk2s than Fuji sell in total, they are almost certainly selling more M50s than Fuji's total mirrorless unit sales. Against that designing lots of new RF lenses will likely slow new EF-M lens appearances. Also Sony and Nikon have really bad records on making many useful DX/APS lenses. Fuji have a lack of stabilised primes (for low-light/video) and several old but good lenses have slow AF motors and no sign of updates. I really have no idea what the best choice is. Probably people should try using them and pick the one that feels best in the hand and easiest to select options and change them repeatedly, plus a good EVF. I suspect a camera you like from the emotional level and find easy to use is a better solution than trying for one that is best at everything (doesn't exist), unless you want to do just one thing well (e.g. wildlife, social, etc.), when it's probably none of these.

I am sure they will support the EF-M mount in the future. The M6 II shows that they want to make the cheaper APSC cameras with M mount and FF with RF mount. EOS M cameras are also the best selling cameras in Asia. The small size of the cameras and lenses is a huge selling point. You can’t make cameras and lenses quite that small with the RF mount.

Hi, Chris !!! Excelent video !!! In my humble opinion, and based on my experience, in terms of VIDEO characteristics (NOT professional) I would summarize it like this: Nikon Z50: - The best image quality in APS-C (excellent clarity and sharpness). - The best low-light performance (very low digital noise level). - The best screen (biggest). - The one with the best audio capture (with internal mic). - The one with the best grip. Sony A6400: - The one with the best autofocus (fast and precise). - Great availability of lenses. - The one with the best options for post-production. - The only one that has unlimited video recording (limited only by the battery, of course). - Fuji XT-30: - The one with the best colors. - Great availability of lenses. Canon M6: - The one with the best skin tones. Keep it up, Chris !!! Greetings !!!

I recently bought the canon and i dont regret it after watching this video. We had some lenses left from full frame canon cameras and i prefer pictures over videos

Loved this review. I'm a Nikon crop DSLR user but was planning on switching to mirrorless as I'll be doing hybrid shooting. Fuji makes amazing crop sensor cameras but is it viable if there's no full-frame option to upgrade to in the future? I was disappointed with the Z50 not having a fully articulating screen. I would even consider it if it was flip up but it flips down under! So I can't use a tripod or a gimbal and face the camera to me. Even their D5xxx series has fully articulating screen. I don't mind using the FTZ adapter on some of my 2.8 lenses but no log mode is also disappointing. Considering the XS-10 because of IBIS and the film simulation and no real need to color grade for quick videos but I'm apprehensive as I won't have an upgrade path in the future as Fuji doesn't make full frame bodies. Sony 6600 checks a lot of boxes but the price point is way too much and yes, their lenses are quite expensive. Lowest barrier to entry is the Fuji as even their XA series has at least decent performance.

People disliking the video must be Pentax users for not being included at all.

Very helpful. Downsizing from a Nikon DX system, and exploring my options.

I have to disagree with that "Design & Handling" section. Sony's should be on top. Why? Because you can operate the entire camera with ONE hand PLUS they're small and light. Fuji has so many dials making it feel retro and tactile, but you need to use TWO hands to operate the ISO/Shutter... You can't just run-and-gun with it. If you're a street photographer, this is essential! Not only that, but because Sony's autofocus system is leagues ahead of the competition, it just makes GETTING good pictures so easy with a Sony. Lastly, Sony APS-C lenses tend to be cheaper in general compared to Fuji's. Sigma anyone??? If you're a street photographer who just wants to take great images and edits RAW photos anyway, Sony is definitely the way to go.
