How Nikon Solved The Fujifilm Problem 

Not really. Bought Fujifilm for the out of camera jpegs. Need to throw out photos quickly after family events without needing to edit them in Lightroom.

Switched to a XT30 II for half the price of my nikon and I have no regret

The fujifilm's brilliant screen articulation would be the thing that keeps me with it. (Maybe!) Nikon didn't ask me, but I would not have put a ''blogging'' screen on it. Great video as always!

The zf imho needed two things: an "a" on the iso and shutter dials and a c1-c2 on the pasm selector. The other thing, they need more vintage lenses or a new adapter to make the older lenses fully readable and compatible. You can do it on a d200 why not on a Zf?

IMHO, Fuji made a mistake with releasing the X-H2 and X-T5 as 2 different cameras instead of ONE!

Have both, bought the Zf first. Then the X-T5 . Have to confess , the size of Fuji is really nice … but shooting with Nikon is something really great too . I’m sticking with small primes and both systems are excellent. Love the 40mm f2 on Nikon unbeatable…. Same with the 35f1.4 on x-t5

I would choose XT5 over the Zf six days in a week: lighter, better handling, no flip out screen, color.

The drawbacks you need to accept with the Nikon ZF. 1) It has no thumb grip in the back - HUGE mistake. 2) It has almost no finger grip on the front - even that bit more on the X-T5 would have helped the ZF Didn't realize how much the lack of these two features make it difficult to use the camera one-handed when shooting over your head - as in trying to locate your subject when they're surrounded by a crowd of people. 3) the flippy-tilty rear LCD screen. Great for vloggers, not great for photographers. Flipping the screen out, then rotating the screen back is extra clumsy step when you're trying to shoot quickly over your head. ...making "over your head shooting" doubley problematic. ...this flippy-tilty screen is also problematic when shooting low from the hip, or near the ground. The screen gets in the way of your left hand - or your arm gets in the way of seeing the rear LCD screen. I'm a pro shooter, and these three issues have become a total deal breaker for the ZF for me - and I really wanted one to replace my Z6 II. 4) Lens size. You showed the ZF with two of the most mundane lenses in Nikon's line-up. The 28/2.8, and the 40/2. Nikon's lens design solution for their "REALLY GOOD" lens options seems to be "go longer and narrow" vs. "shorter and fatter". I'd rather have shorter and fatter than longer. Fuji 33mm f/1.4 is 2.6 x 2.9" and 12.7 oz / 360 g Nikon 50mm f/1.8 S is 2.99 x 3.41" and 14.64 oz / 415 g If you want to go dreamy - then you have to accept "HUGE" and "Heavy". Nikon 50mm f/1.2 S is 3.5 x 5.9" and 2.4 lb / 1090 g To say the Fuji X system isn't for pro-shooters is big gaping hole in your commentary. Plenty of pros use the X system as their cameras of choice. ...You should check Chrisman Studios work...

My daily driver is the Nikon Z9. For my holidays, I have the X-T5. Maybe I would've bought a Zf, but when I got my camera's, there was no Zf on the horizon, so I got what I think was the best for me.

the problem of both camera manufacturers is they made classical style body but reluctantly released classic style lenses situation of nikon is much worth cause they only released 2 so far (28 and 40m) i myself own zf and some fujis (not exactly x-t5, i got x-pro1, x-m1 and x-t1) now

I was frustrated with the ZF at first, but now i simply cant put it down. I didnt have that feeling with the x-t5. No regrets now at all. Above all the 24mp ff beats the 40mp cs easily with image quality and raw editing.

The Zf is way heavier and bulkier than the XT5. For me the XT5 is perfect as an EDC camera paired with the 27mm pancake prime. I also had the XE4 but the smaller body didn't have any advantage for me cause the lens dictates the overall bulk of the kit. So thats IMO the biggest disadvantage of Fujifilm... There are to few modern compact primes. They should renew their 1.4 35mm and 23mm primes with better AF but with a few optical compromises (aka character)

Waiting for your Nikon Zf user review. Such a beauty camera.

I have the Zf and X-e4 and both those lenses too. Love both setups, but the 40mm is silent and fast to focus. Maybe the xf 35 f1.4 has very slightly nicer bokeh but largely irrelavant. Hopefully Nikon will release a compact 50mm and 85mm f2 in the same style. Regarding the title of this video, what problem specifically did Nikon solve? lol

Fujifilm is smaller and lighter. If you want full frame there is a bulk penalty unless you really stick to slow primes. I moved away from full frame after over 10 years. I don't want the bulk anymore.

Considering weak arguments, this video is a Nikon commercial. I have several bodies of both brands and like them both a lot.

Or you use a speedbooster on the xt5. It would be more fair to compare the xt5 to the zfc.

Scratches on XT-5? I´ll enter Nikon system... that was the argument I was waiting for- Nikon has round edges...

I am a long time Nikon user and I have invest on the system (10 or more leneses). Even if a brand produces a better body than my Zf (I also own a Zfc), it is very expensive for me to change brands. So, my advice is to stay with what you already using, at least if you have invested on a system (eg having 2-3 lenses). There are exceptions of course, for instance if you need special lenses (eg Nikon has great long telephoto lenses) that do not exist on the system that you are using.

Zf is almost perfect, but they should have used the 45.7mp sensor. 24mp is not enough in 2024 IMHO. My dream is a Nikon S3 reborn rangefinder style mirrorless camera with EVF, flip screen and 45.7mp sensor.

I handled both, and bought the Fuji X-T5. No regrets. The Nikon looked great on paper but it's bigger and heavier in person, the grip is awful, and the compact primes have plastic mounts. Hard pass. And this is coming from someone who has owned half a dozen Nikon cameras - film and digital. Very happy with the X-T5 and the very high quality and well made compact primes.

I picked up a Zf in Japan and my immediate thought was "this camera is too heavy for me to travel with". The Zf is also a lot more expensive where I live. So there are two problems Nikon didn't solve!

Props for the Brixton pics!… Dats my Enz!… ✊🏿

Sooo... a vintage looking camera but without aperture control on a lens (unless you are using actual vintage lenses), and having the PSAM dial on top, what's vintage about that?? I don't doubt the overall quality of that product, but still, sounds like a pariah to me...

I have never sought after the "perfect" camera. All cameras are different. All cameras are fun.

I can take photos with one hand on my XT5 with a thumb grip. I get all the great shots I want, now that they have the new linear motors in the primes! My only two issues with Fuji are the build quality and the auto focus, which is by far better in the XT5, but still not up to the competition.

FUJIFILM has a headstart of about 12 years when it comes to this type of cameras. This is not to be underestimated.

Nikon and Fuji are owned by the exact same parent company Mitsubishi heavy industries. Nikon had to wait for Fuji to get a 40mp sensor to differentiate it from the Nikon Zf 24mp. Had there been only a 24mp or 26mp Fuji camera, then people would abandon Fuji for Nikon's Zf. Plus the Nikon Zf is not a professional camera, its a stripped down enthusiast model. The Fuji flagship cameras are now their professional lineup hybrid cameras. Mitsubishi has made a complete mess out of this situation between Fuji and Nikon opting to switch Fuji into a more dslr styled camera system while transitioning Nikon to retro styled cameras. Olympus was basically the first system doing retro styled cameras, and now Fuji copied that, and then Nikon, and now the Canon fanbois was Canon to make a retro styled camera. The only problem is is that none of them are actual retro cameras as they're all electronic and use fly-by-wire. A proper retro camera has mechanical coupling of auto focus rings and aperture rings and that is a dsrl. Mirrorless is not retro, its just stylized to look retro but is fully electronic, its Faux-retro.

If you compare Fuji x t 5 with A FULL FRAME CAMERA then even this means that Fujifilm APSC camera is good enough that we compare it with a full frame. Fujifilm has great lenses. I use 16 mm prime lens, it is a fantastic lens. Do street, architecture, low light shooting, and so on. I have 8 mm lens that is great. Photographers should stop comparing two cameras. I can compare medium format Fuji with the Nikon. İs this fare ? X T 5 İS GREAT CAMERA, AND THE BEST CAMERA İS YOUR BRAİN.

I prefer Nikon Df than Zf.

The grip on the ZF is horrible!

90% of the time Fujifilm is out of stock and back ordered. So far with x100vi no one can get one unless you are a reviewer or an influencer taking pictures of your butthole. So I’m going with Nikon.

nikon zf is so heavy, no film simulation and too few lens So i choose xt5 😅

Pointless video, for some it could be “how Fujifilm solved Nikon problem”, to each his own 🤡

Nikon lenses are not at all good in terms of quality..plastic mount. Less third party lenses.

For me the Nikon Zf‘s always appeared as an afterthought of Nikon, and the APSC versions as entry level cameras with lower quality lenses. Fuji on the other hand is fully committed and more authentic, and offers the H2’s for hybrid shooters. The APSC sensor is slightly inferior to the full frame sensors and with regard to autofocus, Fuji plays an annoyingly lazy catch-up game. However, for most photographers it is still more than good enough. In my opinion the lenses are significantly smaller and lighter - just compare the Fuji 33mm to a 50mm on Nikon (I changed from a Nikon D850 to the XT-5 - it is a huge difference). You can‘t achieve a small depth of field on APSC as on full frame, but that is more often than not an advantage. One of the differences that is important to me is the aperture ring, which most Fuji lenses have, which makes the exposure triangle much more tactile for me.

"Full Frame look"?. In that case, the Fuji GFX series and Hasselblads are the best cameras ever made because they have medium format sensors. Its just senseless to say one camera system is better than the other because of sensor size and resolution. Photographers who use the Fuji system have their own reasons, I guess its the same for Nikon or Sony users. Its time to retire the absolutely meaningless type of content arguing why one system is better than the other. Plenty of amazing pictures were clicked before RU-vid or the internet came into existence, that's saying something about how meaningless these videos are

Fujifilm has no problem!!

The problem is you can't get fast glass like the 56 1.2 Viltrox 27 1.2, 85 1.2, and all the rest for the Nikon the Nikon versions are huge and mega expensive
