No they wont. Nikon lacking ultra compact great 35-85mm lens. Their 28/2.8 and 40/2 not there enough. And its design choise was strange why use flippy in street cam. They should use: flippy+tilt/ tilt/ flippy with second back eink screen like xpro3
In my film-only days, I shot 35mm film in Nikon F and Leica M cameras. I shot 6x7 and 6x9cm medium format images in Fuji and Mamiya cameras. In this digital era, I shoot Fuji SLR and mirrorless APS-C digital cameras and am now considering a Fuji GFX medium format digital camera. Image quality, aspect ratio, and lens compatibility are very important factors in my decision-making process. The image quality comparison in your video has been very helpful to me.
deal breaker would be the way Zf feels in my hands. Way too heavy and hard to grip, other than that Zf is a much better deal especially where I am, Zf is cheaper than xt5. But man Zf should've been designed in a smaller lighter profile, adding any grip and the Zf can surpass Gfx in weight lol
Been playing with GFX50 S II with my A7RIV and Z9 side by side for a while, to me is huge exaggeration about those "Medium Format look" claim, you really have to put two side by side and have to really looking for those difference to see it, in order to gain those IQ improvement, I have to give up so much in AF tracking, speed, and ergonomic, it doesn't matter how good the sensor is if I can't get it focus properly, it's not just frustrate but painful shooting the GFX50S II side by side with my Z9 and A7R IV, and the A7RIV even has a out dated AF system already but still gives me more reliable AF than the GFX, to my own experience the GFX 50S II is still a generation behind my D850 in term of AF. also a lot of people rave about the Shallow DOF control of Medium format, really? FF has 35-50-85 F1.2 and 135 F1.8 lenses and the fastest Fuji lens is F1.7, what Shallow DOF control?? The only thing I see in MF is the DR improvement over my FF, but I have hardly exhaust the DR/Noise capabilities of the FF so in order to be able to take advantage of this once in a blue moon I will have to I struggle to get quick reliable on every shot and have to review every picture I took on the spot to make sure it's in fact in focus.
You're probably the 1st Fuji user I've heard say you trust the AF0C of Fuji, I have an X-T4 and I trust it none at all. The only time I'm using AF-C is if I have to in very certain situations. I just can't trust that green box. Thanks for the video and info, I'm honestly over Fuji and their auto-focus.
I'm wondering if the glow or bloom from the MacBook pro mini-led affects your reading with your good eye or if the mba ipa screen is superior. Thinking the glare/glow from the mini-led would be worse. Additionally, does the PWM on the pro screen bother you, as in perhaps the dithering on the mba would be less bothersome if at all. Just curious as to how you are handling the computer with loss of vision.
I have been using canon,sony in the past with no satisfaction.i switched to nikon dslr and was amazed except for autofocus.now i want to try the zf instead of fujifilm.hope i will find my photographic needs
Thanks for your video. I tried the Nikon Zf at the store and the build quality is solid, they look amazing too. If I afford I would get that one instead of the Fuji ones
I love fujifilms color, the intuitive feel... no one does that better. The tracking is really the only downside(and durability), and as an experienced photographer, I can deal with tracking that's not the best... hell, it's better than what I grew up using... maybe I could be talked into upgrading if I was doing weddings or something crazy important, but honestly, it shouldn't matter in 2024. As far as sensors...XT3 APSC is great for everyday, I'll buy a medium format if I want better quality... there is going to be a GFX rangefinder style that should be awesome 👌 as my next purchase. Big believer that if you are going to have two systems, it should be 1)APSC & 2) Medium. To have a full frame and medium seems like you're willfully giving up the benefits of the lighter APSC cameras. Not to mention, the cost savings! It's not much, but in an expensive hobby/occupation, every little bit helps.
Retro dials with PASM mode is just stupid. No lenses with aperture ring from Nikon is also stupid. The Zf engine is great. Technically it is better than the fujifilm. But the retro approach is a miss
I find it funny how you are talking about the low light performance of the Nikon sensor yet all the photos you took are using a flashlight….really cool trick😂
You should have taken shots with both cameras Nikon Renders better and more serious photos and Fuji is suited for more artsy shots and this is in the glass not in the camera itself.
Hey good comparison! I like retro camera's and I like nikon. But I don't really understand this camera. As Nikon made only two lenses for it. The 28mm f2.8 and the 40mm f2. Both without aperture ring. For low light and shallow depth of field the 18mm f1.8 and the Viltrox 27mm f1.2 lens would easily win. Of course you could also adapt faster lenses to the Nikon, but then the shallow grip comes into play. Then why not go for one of the nikon's with a decent grip. Also not having dual sd cards is not very practical. And the fully articulating screen is not very retro. So yeah: this camera feels like a prototype that needs quite some work before it's a usable camera.
No debes comparar mangos con aguacates, comparar una cámara de 24 millones de pixeles con un de 50 millones de pixeles y con un sensor mas grande osuna indelicadeza. Debes comparar la GFX100 con la hasselblad, etc y la Zf con las fuji de 26 millones de pixeles, o si quieres con una de 40, com l a Xh2s etc. yo he tenido la GFX100 50s y tengo la z7Ii, ambos rangos dinámicos son excelentes, pero como dices, una cámara como las gfx, no son para rapidez, son para calidad, limpieza del color, gradación etc
I have shot fuji a while, stepping away from L mount through the covid lockdown and having fewer jobs. I must say the advantage is the lenses not the bodies, i have some great glass. Bit when I picked up the XF in a shop and played with it, I couldnt help thinking 'now this is a camera!' it felt so wholesome and expensive, while the x-t5 and xh1 still feel a little like toys to me.
