Sony A7III vs Fuji XT4 - Full Frame or APS-C under $2000? 

I have pre-ordered *Sony A7S III* amzn.to/309gc8B , so yes, there will be a review. I have to buy it like a regular person to review it, so availability of my review depends on the shipping date. *Fuji XT4 vs Panasonic GH5* - Fujifilm X-T4 is the new GH5? - bit.ly/FujiXT4vsPanasonicGH5

here are the reason i want to pick the XT4 over the A7III even tho it was my first choice One of the most important aspect for me at least is the feel of the camera, other than the "vintage look" when i went to my store to see how both felt i litterally fell in love with the XT4 handling/ergonomics (call it the way you want) it is obviously totally subjective so gotta get your hands on both before you decide to go for one or the other Then as you explained in this video the A7III is litterally the king of auto focus at this price point and there is a wider variety of lens which can be a good or a bad thing really quickly for example being obsessed with the latest tech or the latest lenses or whatever, with a reduced choice if you pick the right lenses for the job you cannot over think it For my lens selection i'll start with the 23 and the 35mm f/2 (for both) maybe the 16-80 (24-120) f4 that could be a good all in one lense. And if i ever need a wider lens than that then i'll see i'll also be using my 750D, wich will allow me to use my 35mm for portrait while i use an other lense on the 750D like my old 70-200 f4 or maybe a new lense who knows i want to reduce what i carry as much as possible and IF possible i'd like to be able to shoot most of my work with 1/2 lenses. and i won't even talk about long terms economy when you only buy 2 or 4 lenses max compared to the prices of most glass you can find for the E-mount. After that to be even more annoying, the flipping screen is something i love on my 750D so i love the fact that you have it on the XT4, the 2 SD that are the same is also a good point for the XT4 Here is what i plan on shooting most of the time: Street photography, Weddings, Automotive, portraits, maybe a little bit of video?, landscape. in terms of setting i'll mostly be using the single point focus unless i do portraits (unless eye auto focus doesnt handle well even in a simple portrait session) panning shot same stuff, single point + Continuous auto focus and that's it you good to go It's actually the only review i found that was truly realistic and wasnt biased so huge kudo to you, even to this day this video is still helpfull Btw if i wrote all that monologue it's also to put "on paper" the reason of why i'm going with fuji cause it is still quite a lot of money for someone like me but if i want to get started with professional work that's the direction i'll follow :D tbh i'm sure the a7III would be a better option when it come to professional work but at the end of the day, the menus, the ergonomics and many other little details make me feel like i'm gonna regret it if i go to sony there is a few others but i think the main part is here :D if you are still reading, thanks first of all and i hope you'll have an amazing day and that you'll be able to go out and shoot, cause at the end that's what truly matters right :D have fun guys and feel free to share what you think :D

Great video!

Great review and a very anticipated one, A7iii it is for me! Thank you, looking forward to more! :)

Best comparsion ever. All my questions have answered.

Wow great video, if you will choose between A7c with sigma 24-70 2.8 art lens and Fufifilm xt4 with 16-55mm 2.8 WR lens, what will you choose? And why? Thanks a lot🙂

I loved my Fuji I just had to sell mine I wasn’t too happy about not working much in dark situations but waiting for the a7iii prices to drop to compare

I'm having a really hard time choosing between these two cameras!

for me i like colors and image from sony a7iii more

Which of this camera would you recommend if I want to make a feature film ??

I currently own an A7iii, but I am considering moving down to an X-T4 due to it being smaller, and its more creative workflow (film simulation, double exposure, dials and film camera form factor.) though, i am planning to grow with either Sony or Fuji as i buy more lenses and hope to someday work as a full time photographer. I plan to shoot portraits, events, landscapes, Astro, macro, product photography, basically everything. I want to shoot as an enthusiast, as well as a professional with my camera. Is the X-T4s smaller size and retro feel worth sacrificing the superior AF, DR, and ISO performance that Sony has, and may continue to build in the future? Can Fuji offer enough as a working photography camera for all listed scenarios with the lenses they offer now/the sensor size itself? Or will it suffer in many of the categories listed that i will be shooting due to APSC, therefor I should keep my FF A7iii and admire the Fuji from a distance.. knowing it may not be everything I need for work. I know there’s less bokeh on APS-C, and more grain in low light, I know that moving down to an APSC will only gain me benefits ergonomically, not photographically. Just want some insight from either you, or the community. Thanks in advance, everyone!

I have Canon EF-S lenses, can I use them on XT-4 with adapter to shoot video? Will it work?

Nice review. I am purchasing the A7III next month!

I couldnt choose one of them until now .. i love the deisgn of the xt4 .. but all the winner points (except the display quality) are not interesting for me .. so i will buy the a7iii .. so i can kick my canon eos 6d out of the window :D most important things for me are .. high iso quality, lens selection & prices, autofocus, small body - so the sony wins for me

Good stuff!

On the X-T4, the AF is perfectly customizable. We can make the transitions smoother or faster ...

Nice fuji. I have never been a fan of sony. Glad to see fuji come out with this beast.

I have an x-t4. It is very good for the body and the optics too. I am very disappointed with this camera solely because I love to take photos against the light, and the fuji does not have the ability of sony to emulate a helper with a function similar to HDR. Is this function really valid in the A7iii for shooting photos against the light? Thankyou

Less than 1000 shots per battery. Undeep grip. I think I'm too old, they could be amazing but they are not for me. Not for 2000$.

hey hybrid,i just want to know wich have a better image quality

0:30 in Vietnam

3:55 Vietnam ^_^

Man tough decision. My heart says Fuji but my head says Sony.

This is the first review I have seen that realistically compares the xt4 with a full frame camera. Great job and very useful information.

Very fair, well balanced, and thorough comparison. I especially like that you distinguish between personal preference and objective performance.

This is a fantastic overview. Thanks for putting it together. I think people will find it really useful.

If Sigma and Tamron start adapting lenses for Fuji then we'll have a real battle. I've been eyeing the A7iii for a long time but that damn Fuji is just so sexy!

I saw some photos from Vietnam. Hope you had a great trip to my country! Excellent comparison.

makes me want a a7III so bad. But I want that 4k60 and 10 bit in video.

I’m Fuji (X-T20) user, I really love Fuji with friendly users settings. But, Sony A7 iii is fckn awesome. This video really made me confuse, should I upgrade to X-T4 or try a new one Sony A7 iii.

Amazing review, made my life really easy in choosing X-T4 over A7III. So the key takeaway is that if you are looking for a camera to shoot videos primarily like myself then XT-4 is for you. I was looking for a camera to shoot short documentaries and short films. The fact that X-T4 gives you 4K60p, FHD 120p & 240p and 10 bit video in such a small package at this price is a deal of the century and on top of all that X-T4 gives you very nominal crop factor which is very much acceptable and can be easily managed while framing a shot. For video shooters X-T4 is s a much better choice as a B-camera while main camera being a low light beast like A7Sii aur BMPCC 4K, Canon 5D MkIV, C100 MkII etc. There is a reason that DP review updated its hybrid camera buying guide placing X-T4 at no 1 and A7III at 2nd. Given the video specs of X-T4 it is clearly targeting enthusiast video shooters. Also in his review Hugh Brownstone calls the Fujifilm X-T4 the best balanced and least compromised camera on the market! So if you are looking for a mirrorless for shooting videos then close your eyes and go for X-T4. Though not as vast as Sony's glass collection, there are enough Fuji X mount glass for you at decent pricing. I bought my X-T4 with 16-80 f4 kit lens on 23rd July and have been using it daily, quality is amazing. Will post a short doc on my channel entirely shot on this camera by end of September.

I was deciding between Sony A7iii and Fuji XT4 and went with Fuji due to the better design and smaller kit size. I am attracted to the Sony lens ecosystem, and am waiting for the A7iv to get into it. Excellent video.

thank you, very good comparison! I would be very interested in a detailed image quality comparison between APS-C and Full Frame (Tamron 28-75 vs Fuji 16-80 or 18-55) to see how much is the difference there. I recently moved to Fuji and every day I like the system a bit more. The menu is much better than many people say in my opinion (coming from Nikon). Would you recommend the 16-80 lens for allround landscape photography? (16-55 is too heavy for me)

I’ve been waiting for this! As always great review!

The first time I watched this I was in the Fujifilm camp. The 3rd or 4th time I watched I realized the A7iii is just so damn good.

Now this is how you do a comparison/review!

The fact that Fuji can even hold its own against one of the best FF sensors ever created says a lot. Good review.

Thanks a lot for this video! I've watched it at least 3 times. I mainly want to use the camera for photography, especially landscape. I also want to take it on vacation with me. I'm deciding between Fuji XT4 with 18-55 2.8 and Sony a7iii with Tamron 28-75 2.8. I won't need a lot more lenses for what I do. It's important for me that the camera makes good photos in many conditions and that I don't have a problem with the weather (e.g. overheating). If it's okay to ask, which would be your favourite for me? Picture quality seems to be better with the Sony. The Fuji's lens (total package with the body) is shorter/friendlier for on the go? Greetings

Highly underrated video, and highly informative and usefull. Keep it up with a great work!

I have a Sony A7 System (A7rii & A7iii) and a Fuji System (GFX 50S medium format). Both are highly capable systems and you can’t go wrong with either. On paper (and in your mind), the Sony usually pulls ahead and is a great all-purpose tool. The Fuji (X and GFX) systems are incredibly capable and subjectively much more enjoyable to use due to the manual dedicated buttons and dials - in particular, if you are a street shooter, you can quickly change shutter/aperture/ISO settings *before* you even turn on the camera. I picked the Sony because I have a large number of Leica lenses that I adore and after several successful projects/books/exhibitions, I’m now superstitiously attached to. If it wasn’t for that, and if I was starting over again, I would pick the Fuji X system. When I recommend cameras to friends, I usually recommend the Fuji X system.

Can u make comparison between xt4 vs gh5? Excellent content btw 👍

they both seem equally good...fullframe depth of field with better auto focus or 10bit 4k60 with APS-C fully articulated screen.

Maybe you can help me?? I mainly shoot car videos, think car shows and drag racing. Sometimes at night under the nights of the track.. Been trying to find a new camera setup what would you recommend as far as XT4 vs A7iii?

Love it! I hate how Fuji keeps making their X-T cameras larger and heavier (and more expensive?), so it's only right to compare it to the Sony. X-T4 at the start of its product cycle and A7III at the end of its cycle, yet still a close battle.

hi, really good idea to compare the ISO performance between the 2 cameras, thanks ! :)

Perfect comparison! Thank you!

Yet another thoughtful, even handed comparison. Thanks so much for the effort you put into your reviews. Would it make sense, now, to compare the xt4 with the g9? If that is not in your immediate plans, would you comment on that now? Thanks for all your videos.

It's an elaborate evaluation.excellent review. I am planning to go for XT4. What's your advise for choosing the lens as the kit lens? I get normally 18-55mm f2.8. but what's your advise for general around photography and video? Which lens to take.please advise.

Hey i have a question I’m trying to get for the very first cámara don’t know which one to get Sony a7iii or fuji xt4 there both in the same Price range but the sony is Not older which one would you recommend me to start with

A very useful comparison. Thank you.

When i have sony i miss fuji idk why 😂 theres something on xt4 that i cannot explain..u always want to have it

Do you think that micro fourth thirds will die? (I am searching a new camera and m4/3 Is an option)

Thank you very much. So detailed rewiew, and only nessasary info

great review! I really enjoy the way you present information, very objective and honest, incredible work, keep going! Photography community can really benefit from your videos, and it feels just awesome that your way of presenting information is as objective as possible, which basically makes the community more conscious and less susceptible to marketing trends or influencers. You respect the community by doing so, and I personally respect you, great stuff!

Congratulations on a well balanced and informative review. I moved to the A7iii from the Nikon D500 because I wanted full frame. Image resolution is better but it's taking me a while to get used to the menu system which is way too clunky. The D500 was much more straight forward. I would very much like to see your recommendation for how best to set up the Sony with the latest 3.10 firmware update. I mainly shoot landscapes, portraits, pets and street photos. The ability to lock Tracking Eye AF for Humans and Animals is something I would really like to see.

The Sony costs 22 944,- N.Kr. here, which in notes equals 2622.50 USD, so it's quite much above $2000.

thanks for this video I'm quite happy with the Sony A7III and Panasonic G9 combo 👌🏼

I think the real problem with a73 is the rolling shutter jiggle. It's gross, especially combined with the ibis, and makes the camera unusable for video. The xt4 has outrageous readout speed with no perceivable jiggle. The issues with tricky lighting (sunset) and low light are definitely true negative aspects with Fuji xt4

Thanks for the video, it was the comparison I was looking for.

I’m using xt3 and really want ibis since I love the look of slower shutter speeds even for street since it gives a cool look that I enjoy and now I’m stuck deciding between the xh1, xt4 or a7iii since these are the most I can afford. The good thing is that I could just live with a 2.8 zoom and maybe the 85 1.8 on Sony and I’d be happy but 2.8 on apsc leaves me with a bit to be desired … meaning I’d need to go for the sigma 1.4 primes which are like f2.1 on ff making it a rough decision. I don’t find myself being in love with my camera like some other people say they are so I’m open to potentially changing systems or just bodies, however this may be due to the fact that I currently only have the 18-55 though

Sony is a spec monster but fuji is more satisfying for enthusiast

All i want is the perfect camera :-) Fuji needs better autofocus and faster lenses/third party lenses. It would be the best camera. I'm on the X-T3 and suffer from these issues too.

I made this exact switch from a7iii to Fuji x-t4 and if you can have both then do it but the x-t4 offers an overall better user experience. I miss my a7iii but I feel more involved in the creation of my photos with fuji

You said x-t4 can handle a 1 second exposure still image at 18mm no problem. What slowest shutter speed still photo would you say the a7iii’s ibis could handle?

I find your reviews are pretty thorough and cover all the bases. . I felt the A7 iii is a better choice for stills and the XT4 if your first choice is videos.

For RU-vidrs who shoot their own videos, which one would be a good choice? I am little worried as the sony ariii doesn't have a complete flipscreen. It's difficult to shoot without seeing urself

I have an XS10 and wish I'd had the money for the xt4 there are a crapload of cheap lenses for this system

Wow, the first picture is the pagoda in my hometown, which i had a photo shot last week 😁

Wonderful content. Do you have a preferred AF setting for the XT-4? Have you encountered constant pulsating focus issues while using AF? Thank you!

So many great options out there ... One thing everyone must consider is how much it will cost you to upgrade your computer to edit the video from these great cameras at their highest bitrates etc.

After 3 years still awesome comparison work u have done while helping a lot 🎉

The analog dials and better handling of most Fuji cameras just make me want to use them more. At the end of the day, that’s what really matters.

Dying for an XH2 already. I think the ergonomics will be much better.

QuickRelease CLAMP @ 10:10 please: What model and brand is it (if for Arca) ? I'm much intrigued if it is just as a good solution as the ones by RRS (Many other brands are eighter "clumpsy" or otherwise not as smooth or safe in handling - to my liking.)

A7iii low light king and best AF

Incredible review!! Very useful!! Thank you very much!!!!

What city do you live in? It's so beautiful.

I changed my nikon d750 for xt4 , no regrets at all. Fuji feels so good in hands and pictures are awesome. Full frame have some advantages but minor , prefer better handling and light weight . And that vintage looks 😍

Great video! One correction I'd like to make is at 15:00 you say Fuji has no f2.8 24-70mm equivalent zooms. I believe the red badge XF16-55 f2.8 is exactly that. It's more like a 24-82.5mm equivalent thanks to the cropped sensor, effectively providing a little more reach.

If you could only have one camera which would you pick for hybrid shooting? A7iii, a7c or xt4?

As much as I like the fujis, now they are difficult to justify, specially if comparing the lenses price.

Hello i am fuji x-t200 user. I want to buy x-t4 or sony a7m3. I prefer clear pic and video resolution. Just for take a pic for my cat and tour, shoting star and so on... Can u recommend which one is better one? And crop over by using x-t4at the picture, still resolution is good? If then i want to buy x-t4

Very nice video. Waiting for a comparison 👍👏👌

I m looking for new camera.!so,which one I should buy?cause I to took a photo for my kids. I

Can, in stills, the IBIS from Fuji take the advantage away of the bigger sensor from Sony in handheld low light conditions?

Excellent comparison, thank you

I'll say only two things. Shallower depth of field & best in class autofocus. Imagine what i bought...

I love them both but I suppose I would love the Sony A7iii

The only reasons i love the fujifilm is because if the lens quality and price/quality of them and the film simulation. It is an incredible travel camera. But for professional work i grab my sony first

I subscribed a while ago to your awesome channel. Reading your honest straight-to-the-point answers in the comments here just turned me into a lifetime subscriber. Keep doing what you do

Hello how are you? I am not a professional photographer. but photography its my passion , I am currently traveling the world on my motorcycle. and I have a Canon M50 apc-s. But I am an action photographer (motorcycle), landscape, and portrait and astrophotography. (I would like to start with wildlife too) after 2 years using my Canon. the truth I feel is slow and for action I don't like it at all. What would you recommend me? I am between the A7III or XT-4 .. for me it would be ideal to be good for everything a little. since with my trip I need everything. Thank you very much Regards

Thanks for great video and information! What program do you use for editing?

Sony 👑

Great video. Personally, I sold my Sony A7iii, and bought the Fuji x-t3, now I own the Fuji X-t4. I am super happy making the switch. Basically I feel the Fujis are more 'fun' to shoot with, and find my self using the Fuji a lot more than with my previous Sonys. And I guess that's why we own cameras.

Bravo! Beautiful! Homages! ⚡⚡⚡ JAR

When he said “ you can do with cheaper lenses” I ordered Sony …

Did you have any chance to experience fuji gfx50r medium format camera? Despite the large sensor size and lower technical specs (slower) than most of the full frame cameras, price is very charming. It will be nice to hear your idea. Thank you.

Currently thinking about buying the a7iii or the r7

I saw some shots from Sai Gon. That’s great
