2 Years Using FUJIFILM for Landscape Photography: This is what I’ve learned 

Sony.

Nikon, but recently switched to Panasonic. Still asking myself if I go ahead and make another jump to the Fuji X system when the X-T5 comes out. Going outside and actually taking pictures temporarily mutes these voices though!

Sony. My Camera is a Sony a7RIV and I only own two lens: Sony 16-35GM and Sony 100-400GM. Next camera? Sony for sure.

I played around with my brothers Sony a6000 and last year decided to buy a used XT3. The way the Fuji system operates makes the camera feel like it’s not even there whereas the Sony felt more like a computer. The build quality and lenses are noticeably better as well.

Fuji X-T3 and X-pro2. 😁

david neville’s comment should be a compulsory reeding for every photographer

and what about dynamic range? Fullframe are better, snd Medium-format offers much bigger possibilyties than APS-C. I saw on RU-vid photography with Hasselblad 100 or 150 Mgpx - and they don't even use ND-filers! Superb quality from Medium format! And crop possibilyties ;-)

@@Fessoid Exposure bracketing and/or Variable neutral density filters. Even apsc sensors have 10 stops of dynamic range. If you wish to buy a medium format camera at 100+ megapixels for the going price of 12-70K vs a $150 filter, then by all means go for it. The problem of dynamic range has been solved decades before the first digital camera has ever been purchased. If you can accurately tell me from two pictures which one was shot on 14 stop dynamic range sensor vs which one was shot on gradient ND filter, I'll give you my life savings and first born child. As for cropping, one of my fujis has 26 megapixels, my former nikon had 24. The fuji's pixel density is greater than the nikon. It is why the canon aspc was the most popular wildlife camera in its day. Add the 1.5 crop factor and your 600mm lens now has the same crop as a 900mm and the pixel density allowed for even greater cropping. I didn't deny the value of full frame or medium format, my point is that even when specs are compared, in today's technology there is very few reasons why a very specific sensor size is needed in relation to printing. A 100+ megapixel camera may sound awesome, however it needs a lens that can resolve detail at that level. Its why If I place a fuji lens on a GFX 100 and then on a GFX 50s..I can crop the GFX 50s far more, because the the lens can resolve above 50 megapixel, but can only barely resolve at 100. In the final printing at 300dpi, the 100 megapixel is now just having 95% of those 100 million pixels pixel binned. Unless you are lab printing and using microscopes, it is overkill. Like I said, printing and screens have maximum pixel counts. Anything above that can't be printed or displayed. You may think your seeing 100 megapixels, but you arent. You are most likely only 30-40% of that. displaying detail is limited by technology, and then the human ability to see in 2D (All images are 2D) I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no reason to get 100 megapixels over 50 as far as display is concerned, unless you have a very specific end use which requires very large sizes and extremely close viewing distance and displayed at an extraordinary expensive output. (such as 10 ultra large 8K monitors in an array. Last I look, one large 8k monitor costs 11k USD) Simply put..its overkill and impractical.

@@lefthandright01 wow, man. thats the answer!

@@lefthandright01 and there is a reason why you could wish to have a higher mpx camera. Its true for me: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fzJsb56jrnc.html

Well said! I just got my Z7II a week ago and I still cannot grasp how amazing the colors are. So far I got 24-70 and 50mm. Looking forward to try more lenses!

David, what system did you switched from?

@@memcrew1 Olympus & Sony

@@dfinlay587 ok

Thanks Austin!!

Thanks so much for following along with the channel Saul - really appreciate it!

Thanks Victoria!

I have the same camera, I love it and I absolutely agree with you. Once all the necessary customisations and quick access settings are set up, there’s no need to quibble through the menu system. I don’t get why people complain about the menu system so much when you don’t need to use it once it’s tailored and setup to all your use cases!

The Sony customisation is phenomenal. Love truly being able to make it your camera.

If it's about how LR renders the RAW files from Fuji, give Iridient x-transformer a try. I use it to convert my RAF files to DNGs and then use Lightroom for its strength. Not sure if it works with the 50S files, but XT3 works for sure. I use it with my XT1 because the "photographer" plan with LR + PS can't be beaten by C1 in my opinion.

Thanks so much Merle!

Thank ya!

Thanks David!

I'll probably create something like that

Thanks for watching and I agree with you there

The XT30 and xe4 lineup is the same price as the cheaper Sony APSC lineups. A6600 is really close to xt4 prices these days. Fuji definitely is more pricey once you accumulate alot of lenses though 😅

@@YetAnotherRcChannel you get what you pay for in terms of the quality of lenses. I wasn’t too impressed with the Sony apsc kit lens or the 55-210 but that’s just me. The sigma lenses are coming to Fuji soon so the 16mm 1.4 you mentioned should be making its way over for a similar price.

@@YetAnotherRcChannel tbh we photographers definitely split hairs when it comes to “quality” being happy and comfortable with your kit is all that matters! The people who view our photos definitely won’t tell the difference. 😂

yes because Sony APS-C is cheap, minimalistic and with less control dials (fe. no joystick, no front command dial, no dual card slot). Fuji APS-C ist overall more premium and therefore more expensive😊.

An X-S10 plus glass is not expensive for such a capable camera with IBIS etc. Gives the 6600 more than a run for it's money.

Wish they kept tilting screen from previous models... much better for photography than swivel one

If you like Andy Mumford's work and vids check out Andreas Livieri as well

@@mattsiler7418 Thanks for the recommendation! Actually I began to know Mumford when he and Livieri made an episode comparing Fuji 50-140 and 55-200 lenses. I like both of them since their photo styles are similar. I have paid more attention to Mumford maybe because his accent is more to my preference. :-)

Thanks Rauri - glad you think so!

yeah i hear ya Rauri, Fuji has some great strengths, but the autofocus, (especially the animal eye tracking,) on canon and sony is bar none the best

Hope it was helpful Michael!

@@MarkDenneyPhoto Definitely, especially your words about using a camera that aids the photographer's creativity. Thanks very much.

I've settled on Fuji (X-E3) for my small setup, "street photography" type stuff, and have a Nikon Z for wildlife, landscape, etc... things where I'm using bigger lenses and don't mind a bigger camera. Both systems are great, and you really can't go wrong with either. I do find that Nikon has a better selection of lenses and the Z 24-200 covers 99% of my needs. Fuji has no equivalent for that one.

Thanks Lynn! If video is important to you then I'd go with the X-T4, if not the X-T3 is great!

I thought the X-T3 would be better because it has a tilt screen.

This missing feature set drives me crazy as well! No reason NOT to have C1, C2, C3 to save settings for different shooting styles like Landscape, portrait, street, sports whatever...most togs shoot a bunch of different styles.

You prefer Sony for portrait photography over Fujifilm? I'd be interested to read about your experience with both for portraits specifically.

@@Elazarko I’m still comparing these two cameras I can get awesome close ups out of both. I’ve had people say, “oh I love this picture better” and it was my Fuji and the next person says, “oh I love that one better” and it turns out to be the Sony. Honestly they’re both so good, I go back and forth at times. Does one make me better? No! But the Sony is better for video for many reasons, for me the main one being no more 29 min time limit and better eye detection.

@@rich88789 yea, I understand. in general people don't notice and don't care about so many of the things photographers care about.. I think what I'm going to do is buy a A7IV and a smaller Fujifilm in the future as a small walk around/Travel setup. I wish the Fujifilm GFX 50sii had all the features of the Sony A7IV.. that would be insane!!

@@Elazarko that’s a perfect set up in my opinion. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Yes. In one of Mark's videos several years ago, I remember that he kept the APC Sony partly because it would readily process on his computer.
