When finishing this edit I felt like it was missing something and it just hit me.. The Sony A7C II is honestly inspiring to use for this type of photography. Specially the image quality you can get out of it. But once you see your composition with those Fuji film some.. you’re like “OH”.

Love a new Cam video. As a Sony shooter, for my little pet portrait business, I couldn't agree more. The Sony is a fantastic tool but it never inspires me to shoot. I didnt click with the x100v and it's 35mm fixed lens. I'm more of a 50mm guy and love my xt3 with a 50mm equivalent lens. There's just something about the Fujis that feels special

Couldn’t agree with you more I run the X-E4 and the A7C and the Fuji will always “motivate” me more to go shoot the scene for what it is, truly capturing the moment and mood. The Sony doesn’t make me get out of bed and shoot. BUT the Sony does give me that Full Frame power and crispy images I crave, and with some quick edits in Lightroom you get a masterful pic! It’s tough because I love both cameras systems for different reasons. Fuji just tugs at my heart strings though and will always hold a special place!

This quality of cinematography and edits has no place being this good for a camera review. The bar has been raised.

Awesome video. Happy New Year and cheers to another year of creativity. I feel the same way about my X100V. The experience is what it's all about. I took a pass on the XT5 but what i'm really excited for is the XPro4. I'm hoping it has all the vintage charm of the the X100V but with interchangeable lenses. Fingers crossed.

Great video. Love the cinematography in this and the colors. I own the XS-20 and it's basically a mini xh2s with a few concessions for it's tiny size but it does have the flippy screen.

Beautiful shots. Amazing cinematography. And such a great video. 💯 🔥

Look forward to your take on the x100vi. This video certainly influenced my preorder, as I’ve been looking for a lowkey camera to get into photography with. The new video features & IBIS made it a no brainer

However, I will be needing a landscape setup when I move to the country so mulling over getting the new X100 as my everyday camera and a 50r as my day trip camera.

Great stuff! Currently on the fence with the XT4, XT5, and A7Cii...I just can't decide which way I want to go. Currently rocking the X-E2 & Sony a7iii...But I am looking to trade in the a7iii. What to do..what to do..

I think you've also struck a cord here that not many other people talk about because they're so caught up with how they perform on paper, and that's how they make you feel when you shoot. Arguably all of these cameras will do the job well enough, but ultimately if you're enjoying what you're doing when you're shooting, you're gunna yeild better results and shoot more which is way more important IMO.

The A7Cii does that and it’s so easy to shoot/control one-handed. Some of my shots are landscape and the 33 FF sensor > 40 crop sensor for this IMO… from my use. Fuji did it right with the X-T5 though.. light and nimble!

Great video, very inspirational - I understand your pain - for the last eight years I have used two cameras - a Leica X typ 113 and a Nikon Df. The X is Leica's closest version of the Fuji X100 series, and the Df is just another thing altogether. I am now thinking of resurrecting my Route 66 trip from here in the UK that has been on my bucket list since before the covid era.

I mean, I'm still rocking the xt4 and that has a full swivel screen, 26mp sensor though, but I totally feel everything you are saying. it's my perfect middle ground and I feel it's the perfect starting point for someone that wants to get into this kind of photography and video. as always, good work man.

The Sony A7CII in this video (and other Sonys) CAN use user LUTS in camera directly as you said. But that means the user has to do the work and find appropriate LUTS versus what FUJI does, so officially HIGH QUALITY Luts for different LOOKS BY SONY would be welcome and I don't understand why Its taken so long.

I've had every X100 including the v. But I switched from the X100v to the A7cii because of the autofocus. Sony's AF is unmatched but it's always been Fuji's Achilles heel. Also, I only shoot RAW so I don't care about the colors SOOC. Yes, the X100v is a lot more fun to use but IQ is the bottom line. If an image is out of focus or just not sharp, it doesn't matter how much fun I had making it. Just my 2¢. PS - I love your channel. Keep up the great work!

I mean I was flat out hunting for perfect compositions and with the Sony I was just machine gunning away with my model!??? Duuudde There really is something to this!?? Also I didn’t think I would like the tilt screen on the xt5 over the articulating screen. But now that I am use to it I think it actually ads to the feeling of framing up the shot 😊 much better.

This is why I shoot fuji. Gone through each of the BIG three, and there's something quaint about Fuji that really fits from my ideas, to feel, to simply how I see colour; and it's slap-bang.

I’m a Fuji shooter. I used to shoot Sony, A6400 and ZV-1. Switched to X-T4, and recently got X100V. I get SO MUCH more fun with Fuji. (BTW, 95% of the time I shoot with vintage Canon FD lenses with Metabones speedbooster.) Your video kinda explained to me why I like my XT-4 + vintage FD lenses set up. I’m getting to realize “what type of picture” do I like to create. Like, “Sabotage (2014)” ‘s last gunfight scene. “The good The bad and The ugly( 1966)” Angel Eyes’ “When I’m paid, I always follow my job through.” scene “Sicario” “Time to meet the God” scene.

Thanks for another banger of a video. You definitely go out of your way to tell the story in a cinematic way. You mentioned the X-H2s being amazing for video. I recently picked up one, but can’t seem to find any updated videos on best settings for specifically video shooting (most videos on KZread seem to be made around the time of this camera launch, and things have changed like software updates to focus) Could you do a video, in your excellent storytelling way, showing specific settings for different use cases ( ie. day/vs night shooting)? I do believe that video would get tons of views. Lastly, many of us are new to the Fuji platform. ALL the videos I’ve seen on video settings for the X-H2s JUST show what settings they’re using, but NOT what to set up FIRST. Like do we go into manual mode first….set up overall settings for the camera that become like the master settings, then go to another area on PASM dial to dial in presets for C1-7? Like not even Fuji has best practices on this. It’s frustrating. Most books, long videos etc are primarily focused on photogs. Thanks for the consideration. Cheers 🍻 2024

What microphone would you recommend for the X100V? Thanks for your work and these videos.

Depends what you’re filming. Can use any mic you need tho, jsut need the adapter

XH2s, XT5, XS20 is my main stack. Then X100V and X Pro 2. I have a Fuji issue. 🤣. Swing through 🌵 man 💯

I have a Sony A7riii and Fuji X100S. Like you said, Sony is better in every way, but I still take more photos with my Fuji because it inspires me more with the the film simulations and design.

As an a7iv owner and Sony shooter since 6 years, I want to get a smaller EDC but can't decide which one to get? a7cii or XT5 or upcoming X100VI

Curious if you’ve played around with the Sony “creative looks” on newer cameras like the a7cii. They may not be a match for Fuji’s film simulations, but are vastly improved compared to filters on older Sony cameras. The FL and IN looks are especially good I think and can be improved through tweaking.

I have and they do nothing for me personally. I just end up putting it back to normal cause I find them so pointless. Sony makes some of the best cameras, they just need to work on the inspiration side of the art now!

Thanks you for this video! I am in this exact dilemma currently but with X100VI instead. And i am still confused!

This video reminds me when I still had my Leica Q2, same feeling as the Sony for you, amazing quality but boring to shoot compared to Fuji’s cameras. Sold mine and bought back an X100V

Anamorphic reviews are the standard now 😎📸

I really enjoyed everything about this video. I try to explain to some of my boomer friends how the fuji camera makes me feel when i shoot it but they look at me like im crazy. Ill just send this video to them.

Well if I had to choose from those 3 for stills, it would be the XT5. Easily. But I chose the Nikon Zf as ‘my’ camera. Lumix S5ii & S1H for video work. Early days, but the Zf for me is capturing the feeling I used to get from Fuji X100’s, XE’s and X Pro’s, just more capable than all of them.

Oh and paired with the 40mm f2, a focal length that is somehow just right for me and preferable over 35 or 50.

Imagine if we could jsut have all of those cameras in one or two bodies from the same company haha

Howdy Cam! Have you tried the Sony RX1R II? Seems like it might be the best of both worlds between the A7C and Fujifilm cameras

I have not! Been dying to honestly. No film sims sadly but looks fun still

Great video, thanks. Poor A7C ii lol.. From my experience, Sony's A7siii sensor has the 'magic' - similar to Fuji. I rented an a7C ii and used together with the zv e1 to kinda compare. White balances between the two always off - they seem harder to mach than you'd think with the different sensors. Super different colors too - A7c ii always has a green tint to it too and appears 'bland. Reminds me of the A7iii image, which I always struggled with..More magenta and pleasing to my eyes with the zve1/a7s iii. As you stated though, its more of an 'it' factor. A7s iii sensor did something so right, still haven't found another image from Sony I like more. Didn't think I would dislike the a7c ii as much as I do. The colors in general (beyond the green tint) just arn't doing it for me at all.

Totally agree with the inspiration of fujifilm. Been shooting fuji the last two years and loving it. Bought a sony a7iii with a tamron 28-75 2.8 to test another system. I probably took some of my best photos with that camera, but jeeeez what a boring and uninspiring camera to use. The sony is going right out on sale, glad to be back on my x-t4

many many hate the swivel screen which is why they went back to what is on the X-T5. When shooting photos, I find it INCREDIBLY slow to deploy for a quick high or low angle have to swivel and flip vs just quickly angling the screen

This is why every camera needs the Sony a7rv screen

Hey Cam, great stuff as always. One question: you said you wished you had glimmerglass filters - I thought you weren't a fan of diffusion filters? I'm curious to hear your thought process regarding using them in this situation. Thanks!

@cammackey

5 ай бұрын

Not sure if ya saw my video on my diffusion filter rant haha! But I don’t like diffusion filters for trying to use the false “cinematic” narrative. I like them when used purposefully. I like pairing it with my x100V to help give it that nostalgic feeling. Sometimes it gets in the way too tho

Nice photos and videos

Thanks for this. How about the XPro-3 as a happy medium? A rangefinder w interchangeable lenses. (Apsc though)

I did a video comparing it to the x100V.. I liked the X100V more oddly

Eheh, great conclusion!

1:40 but you can have film simulations with the Sony :) you just have to add a LUT that converts SLOG3 to whatever film you want and it can shoot JPEG or HIF with baked in film sim. :)

Have you tried to modify the creative profile: VV+, C+2, HL+2, SH+2, F+5, SAT+2, SHARP+4, SHARPR+2, Clarifty+4, AutoWB: AB:A1,GM:G1 I also use the sigma 35mm f2 dgdn comtemporary with the promist 10%. Output SOOC is much like the Fuji XT5 Kodak64 simulation.

I’ve tried everything. Nothing gets a consistent nostalgic feeling in a Sony. It’s not just about twisting the WB into weird hues and adjusting contrast. The Fuji sims are shifting individual hues, tweaking the film curve, and adding hue shifts throughout the contrast
