Awesome review! I'm really confused between XT50 and XT30ii. I'm a parent to 5year old and my purpose is to capture memories of her and our family at home and while we are traveling. so, does the IBIS in XT50 really while while capturing the activities of my toddler for that extra $$ is that worth it? if not I would like to to put that extra money into buying lenses. Also can you please suggest two lenses that can cover my needs. I have an old Nikon D3200 with a kit and 35mm 1.8f as a beginner and I want to upgrade as it got too slow. Thanks a ton in advance.
take Sony a7 IV - i use it by self it do everything what need and that is really excellet camera - before i use a7 III it was great as well but a7 IV is another level
@4:35 - X-T50 does not have weather sealing, it does have a curved, more comfortable body. It's also significantly larger than x-t30ii, almost at X-T5 scale.
The 100mm she is holding is the ef 100mm f/2.8 macro without the ring type usm in the ef 100mm f/2.8 macro usm or the ef 100mm f/2.8l macro is usm, the lowest and the noisest of the bunch, for your information. I have been a canon user since i first started photography in 2011.
So now that guys nuked your twitter how should I best get some kind of customer support? I'd like to spend money with this company you're just making it very difficult.
The best way to get customer support is to use the chat feature on mpb.com (the icon in the bottom right corner). We don't want to put any obstacles on your way to spend money with us 😉 Thank you! - Jakub
Picking the optimal price level for products and services requires a knowledge of that market and an understanding of the customers when making decisions. Too low prices can be equally devastating as a price that is outside the ability and willingness of people to accept.
If used on the same camera, they will give you a different aspect ratio. You would have to crop the footage from the 1.33x lens to match the 1.6x one. That would be the biggest issue. There will be also slight difference in the bokeh quality etc. but it will less noticeable. Thank you for watching! - Jakub
I forgot my Sony A7 once and had to borrow a Nikon D200. I have to admit that I didn't have to edit the images at all. Normally I have to do a lot of tweaks. But my Sigma DP3 Quattro kills both. But it's a headache to use, so was film, but film still reigns supreme.
I really liked the images coming from the D200 as well! And the A7 is quite tricky when it comes to colour rendition, still a great camera though. I have also used the Sigma DP0 Quattro and I definitely agree, the DPs are a headache to use! Very unique, special pieces of gear. Thank you for watching! - Jakub
Well simple fact is i own an fx3... Ill never own a venice. As someone else commented you crippled both cameras but even in doing so, the footage is fine for anything i expect to do. Then again, my smartphone surprises me how great they have become, won't ever see aa major motion picture shot with one, but i bet if you made one with a killer story (not some rereleased rehashed film we get now) nobody watching would be complaining about its quality either. And, to be honest, i was more critical of differences of shots than cameras in those video. Maybe should have created a dual mount system they ran exact same shot on both at same time from (nearly) same vantage and take. The one glaring difference was the natural light with hard shadows across her face. Venice hands down easily beat the fx3. But if you shot it on fx3 raw external... Would difference close some? Plus, i like putting m42 mount vintage lenses on my fx3 over modern glass anyway. Nor am i a professional filmmaker/dp. Inonce years ago comapred 2 (same design) large diaphragm tube condenser mics. One a $2k modern mic vs a $7k modded vintage mic by one of best in business. Both through same signal chain. 99% of people probably couldnt tell a difference... And the 1% would be unable to identify it correctly evey time. One would think in the time we live in putting such high quality in hands of jist about anyone we would be in a creative Renaissance. Ill leave it at that so i can go film the cat doing silly things to my dogs.
Love the video, thank you. And I have 1 question. If you didn't have either of those two cameras and wanted to buy one, which one would you choose, the XT50 or the XT30? Thanks in advance for your response. c:
Great review. I just don't think the new features of the X-T50 are worth the extra 500.00; I had rather save the 500.00 and go with the X-T30ii. And since I hike long distances into the mountains, lighter is always better.
Ah yes, they do it. But it's a completely different shooting experience than using a dedicated camera, won't you agree? Thank you for watching! - Jakub
Really cool to see someone talk about vibe and essence, instead of technical details. It's hard to define what fits their style, but they're very good at finding it.
Both are amazing cameras and won't disappoint you! Although between these two, I'd personally go with the M50 Mark II as it's a newer camera, has some advanced features (like 4K video if you need it), is lighter and a bit more beginner-friendly. Have a look at a Canon R100 as well, it's a beginner-friendly body in a similar price range but has the RF lens mount instead of the older Canon EF-M mount of the M50. Good luck! - Jakub
Price points on newer cameras are definitely looking higher these days. It's a good time to seek out some great deals on used gear 😉 Glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for watching! Amy
I used the watch otters all the time from Connel bridge near Oban. Groups of them playing around in broad daylight.....and it was nice and sunny aswell. Also seen Pine Martens regularly recently running down the street through villages in the early mornings....often carrying baby rabbits in their mouth and seen Minks running along the banks of the Ness River in the middle of Inverness during the day. Point is why do naturists always make out these animals are super rare and hard to spot.......they are not
Hey - we pinned a correction at the top of the comments. Although nice to know, even without weather-sealing, it survived a whole day of rain (obviously not recommended!) - Thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it! It definitely depends on what type of shooting you want to do. If you're after some flexibility with your focal lengths, an interchangeable lens camera will be best. However, if you'd like to prioritise a compact, weather-sealed option (and you don't mind being at 35mm every single shot), then the X100 is going to be the better option for you. Amy
as said in the video already, each one of these two types of sensors have their own advantages as well as disadvantages ... and again, as said already in the video, there are no high-res CCD sensors out there unless in highly specialized applications, which the average photog out there cannot afford to own and use them anyways ... so, making a fair comparison between the two sensor types is not easy ... as for the global vs rolling shutter, there are CMOS sensors with global shutters as well just as some older CCD sensor cams came out with rolling shutters ... either way, none can beat film in terms of 'true resolution' ... and probably never will ... with film, the resolution is 'inherent' in the emulsion ... with digital, resolution has to be 'achieved' in post by tweaking the image, often highly, very highly, which results in what i'd call a 'mock resolution' ... there are at least a few other 'bad' issues which digital sensors suffer from as well, such as when they are exposed to direct harsh sunlight for a long time for example, which can and will damage the sensor ... film doesn't have that problem ...
Have you seen the resolution of a Z9 with high quality Z glass? No 35mm film comes close. Even an old Foveon like the DP1 is amazingly sharp. Have owned 2 Foveons and they are amazing, but one died and the other has a bad shutter. So, my days using them are over I think 😢
@@stevenjames5611 sorry, i'm not sure if this comment is in response to mine ... i'd answer anyways : yes, digital photography and videography have so many advantages over film that it would be stupid to use film for most commercial works now ... but as for 35mm film emulsions resolution lacking in comparison to digital sensors, then you are probably not aware of certain facts about film emulsions of all kinds ... for example, cine positive film, both B&W as well as color, can have ISO as low as 0 (yes: ZERO! NOPE! NILL!) resulting in super fine grain / ultra high resolution images suited for extremely large screens ... while the lowest resolution of digital sensors right now is barely 50 to the best of my knowledge ... and i'm only scratching the surface in here ... (and if you don't know what that means when it comes to photographic resolution talks, then you and i have nothing more to talk about in here ...) just to top it off and end the conversation, let's consider this for a change : great cinema directors like Scorsese for example, still prefer to use film material for their movies ... (but yes, then after the film is developed, it's scanned and edited using digital editing technologies ...)
We're sorry about our mistake (we did pin a correction). The X-T50 does not have weather-sealing (even though it survived shooting for a whole day in horrible rain!) Amy
I shoot weddings and other social events with two Fuji S5 Pro APS-C bodies and I keep one brand new and unused body as a backup. I rarely shoot my S5 Pro above ISO 800. My S5 Pro does not do video. I shoot weddings and other social events with two Fuji X-Pro1 APS-C bodies and one X-Pro2 APS-C body. I shoot my X-Pro1 up to ISO 25,600 and my X-Pro2 up to ISO 12,800. I shoot stills and video with my X-Pro cameras. Excluding ISOs over 800, at the same settings, I see no significant difference between the S5 Pro CCD still images and the X-Pro CMOS still images.
I imagine shooting weddings with S5 Pros requires a lot of knowledge and experience! Even though its image quality holds up well, its AF definitely is not the fastest out there. But still, it clearly shows that it is still a very capable camera. Thank you for sharing! - Jakub
@@mpbcom Back in the 1900s, I shot weddings with manual focus prime lenses on film cameras. When I went digital in the 2000s, I started using auto focus zoom lenses on digital cameras. Auto focus speed and auto focus accuracy were never a problem for me on my Fuji S5 Pro or X-Pro mirrorless digital cameras. However, I am still unable to manually focus as quickly and as accurately on my APS-C digital cameras as I can on my full-frame film cameras.
Indeed, it has! It is on the list on our content hub: www.mpb.com/content/kit-guides/top-3-digital-alternatives-to-the-hasselblad-xpan . Thank you for watching! - Jakub
Not sure I want this one yet, but I sure need an X-T5 😁. But first I may need a little help to sell the older stuff as I have to make the money for it. 😁😁
I know about the stock film simulations in the film simulation dial. My question is, can you still add custom Fuji "recipes" in the Q-Menu as you could on the X100v/vi?
