In this week’s episode, we discuss why you should stop obsessing over sensor size, and I conduct a real world comparison between the new 102MP medium format Fuji GFX100s and the 26MP APS-C Fuji X-T4. Now I'm not a guy who relies too heavily on a camera's specs as what matters most to me is what I can see with my naked eye. On paper the medium format Fuji GFX100s should blow the APS-C Fuji X-T4 out of the water, but I wanted to put the comparison to the test in a real world scenario during my recent trip to Utah.
In this video, I take you along on a hike to an overlook that I've never been too before, but have seen images of, to perform this Medium Format vs APS-C camera test. I picked this location as it's a vast and tremendous scene that stretches for miles. I figured this would be a great scenario to test the resolution of the 102MP Fuji GFX100s and the 26MP Fuji X-T4. Also, I get to this location as the sun is rising which also creates a good opportunity to test the dynamic range of both of these camera sensors as well. So nothing real scientific here just a real world comparison to see if the difference between the Medium Format and APS-C is so great that you can easily see it with your naked eye! I hope you enjoy this week's video and thanks for watching! - Mark D.

The X-T4 file is slightly more exposed than the GFX file, so it makes sense that the X-T4 colors are more washed out, doesn't it? :) It would also be interesting to compare the details at no more than 100% of the X-T4 file.

@GarrettLucasWV 3 года назад

I kind of thought that too. In the first set, the darker areas of the picture were brighter on the XT4 than the GFX100s in addition to the highlights, so I kind of felt like there was an exposure difference between the two. I think there would have been a better result with the XT4 with about a 1/2 less exposure. That said, I still want the GFX 100s. That's the next one on the block for me.

@pavelperina7629 3 года назад

I learned that two cameras from different brand or even different models have different output at the same settings. ISO is basically meaningless number that makes them roughly the same, but not exactly. And even when images seem roughly the same, RAW files can have exposition - they may be underexposed which makes highlight recovery easier or they may have more saturated highlights and less noise in dark areas (or greater dynamic range with both ends better)

You probably are speaking about sensor size. And still your statement is incorrect. APS-C sensor size is 16x24 = 384 mm2, MF 33x44 = 1452 mm2. So APS-C to MF is 1:3.8 (almost 4).

@maziatr 3 года назад

@@simankus No I am not. The responses I am getting proves my point that most people don't understanding resolution. Resolution is not a function of just pixel count. You have to consider resolution in two dimensions. Why? because a photo is a 2 dimensional object. To understand that, consider two sensors, each with 24 million pixels but one that is 6000 pixels wide and 4000 pixels high and another that is 1 pixel wide and 24 million pixels high. They have the same number of pixels but the second one can't resolve anything unless you are photographing a worm 1 pixel wide. So, resolution is a function of width and height. Imagine you have a sensors that is in 3x2 format and has 3000 pixels along the x-axis and 2000 pixels along there y-axis, given you a 6 MP sensor. If you want to double the resolution you will need to double the pixel count in both directs i.e. 6000 pixels along the x-axis and 4000 pixels along the y-axis giving you a 24 MP sensor. 24/6 gives you 4 meaning that to double the resolution you will have to increase the pixel count by 4 times. Now, there is a small matter of sensor's resolving power which is function of pixel density (number of pixels per unit area) but that is different topic.

Yes, more pixels do provide higher resolution and dynamic range, but it comes at a $$ cost; added size; and weight. Also, to your point, whether it adds value to your work ultimately depends on the end use of the images. Large poster size prints will benefit. Instagram posts not much.

@MarktrustingJesus 3 года назад

It looked like the xt4 was exposed a tad bit brighter even though the settings were the same. I wonder if there would be any greater sharpness difference if the aperature where at f8 range rather than f16 with diffraction getting closer at f16? Also, with such a distant scene was the atmospheric conditions softening the detail as compared to a wide angle shot up close to compare? I would be interested to see it retested at different apertures, and on an upclose scene. I print up to 4 x 8 feet, so every bit of detail is always welcome!

@swagonman 3 года назад

I’ve been to that spot 3 times now. It’s an awesome view!!! Biggest difference in the images is the brightness. I would have turned down the exposure compensation on the XT4 to match the other camera. Then, I bet the color and tones would look much more similar. -2/3rds, I’m estimating. I often shoot landscapes at -1/3 or -2/3 with my old XT1. At that same location, I was using -2/3 to -1 1/3 range, if I remember, to keep the blue sky and the color on the distant peaks. The EC dial is my most used adjustment.

When you're making large prints, that's when the resolution differences really come into play, and for that, your comparison shows quite a large difference between the systems.

Hi, Mark. Very interesting review and comparison. One thing I wanted to call-out is, when you mentioned the comparison of dynamic range and color rendition differences between the two, the X-T4 was at a higher ISO but same shutter speed and aperture. So, because the X-T4 is overexposed, it's going to be brighter and appear more washed out because of the higher ISO setting compared to the 100S. Ideally, having both cameras at the same iso and aperture, and let the shutter speed adjust so that both images have similar histogram shapes would be a much fairer comparison. My guess is that if you reduced the exposure on the X-T4 image by 2/3 of a stop, it'd be a much closer comparison. As far as what I shoot with, I shoot with a Nikon D850.

@miljo2146 3 года назад

Biggest "flaw" of the GFX 100 for landscape is that it has the exact same pixelpitch as the XT4/3. As medium format has a much shallower DOF you will need to stop the lens aperture down a lot more to get everything in focus. The result is that diffraction starts a lot earlier. To counteract that effect you would need to do focus stacking (not fun with three 100MP files).

@claudianreyn4529 2 года назад

You are so wrong on so many levels 😅

@miljo2146 2 года назад

@@claudianreyn4529 I am 100% right about it. If you say I‘m not you‘re saying physics is wrong 😃. The diffraction on the 50R/S starts being visible at smaller apertures than f11. With the 100 MP GFX sensor (or 61MP on full frame/ 26MP on APS) diffraction will already be visible at f8. As you would often use an aperture like f11 or smaller on the gfx when shooting landscapes, the gfx 100 will have a much softer look compared to the gfx 50. There are many professional landscape photographers complaining about that and end up selling the camera because the only way to counteract diffraction is shooting at a bigger aperture and therefore focusstacking images (you end up with a 1GB image)

@miljo2146 2 года назад

@@claudianreyn4529 on top of that many things are wrong with the information in this video. Shooting at the same aperture with different sensor sizes is bullshit, he should have shot the images with equivalent settings. Different exposures on both and saying something about dynamic range without even touching a slider. And so on… not a very useful video I‘m afraid.

@claudianreyn4529 2 года назад

I agree about the video, but the 0.79 factor applies to the aperture as well, so f11 means aprox f8 in terms of 35mm, but compared with X-T4 is actually 0.5. So f11 on GFX means f5.6 on X. On top of that the GF primes are better.

@miljo2146 2 года назад

@@claudianreyn4529 yes that‘s what I‘m telling you. In order to get the same DOF you will have to stop the medium format down more than full frame or APS. Diffraction on both APS and GFX will start at around f8, but in order to get the same DOF with the GF you will need to stop down more (about f16 in this case) which will lead to more diffraction. This is actually a problem for landscape photography (as you often want everything in focus from front to back)

I shoot quite a bit of nightscape stuff, and what you have shown here has me wondering (which to be honest, before today, I had blown off) how it compares to a newer Nikon ("purple haze") or Canon ("screen door") in astro/long exposure and under exposure (because even 30sec isn't enough for the MW with a true dark sky).

The base raw image and dynamic range was impressive on the GFX! Almost made me consider upgrading my xt3! But once you showed the edited pictures i decided ill save my money for lenses instead.

The question then, is how much is the added detail due to the big. heavy, expensive lenses and how much is due to the sensor?

@christopherjc54 2 года назад

I feel like that 100MP sensor is really being held back by the lens he used because when you zoom in on a lower res camera paired with high end glass, the individual pixels are A LOT sharper.

@christopherjc54 2 года назад

My current understanding is that the best of the best FF lenses resolve around 45MP of detail, but high resolution FF cameras have already exceeded that in MP count. (and APS-C lenses are even worse, maybe a little over 16MP of lens resolution for a 24-33MP sensor)

Hi,very interesting comparison.I love the colour depth and dynamic range of the medium format camera. If one want to see the difference in resolution between a 24 versus 42/ 50,etc Mp camera you have to find a scene with fine detail and shoot from a close distance. You'll see the difference without having to zoom in.

@cmichaelhaugh8517 3 года назад

I’m not really surprised that there are big differences between a 100MP medium format camera and a 26MP APSC with far smaller files and a much lower cost. To me, the more relevant question would be whether to step up in price and computer requirements from a 40+MP full frame to the 100MP Fuji. I’d love to see you do that comparison.

@sammadonline 3 года назад

Thanks for this video. This is why I decided to “downgrade” to a Nikon z6ii from a D850. I felt I was sharing all my photos on social media and the extra resolution of the D850 was totally unnecessary for it. That’s why I went to the Z6 instead of Z7.

I think the GFX100s is certainly better than the X-T4 in quite a few area's but are the differences viewed at a "normal" distance worth the price difference - that's the real question I suppose.

Great tips. I like your style- sharing your honest opinions and not biased or pushing tech on us. We are hiking Angels Landing next month. I plan to get plenty of great shots. Can you possibly recommend any less known areas you might recommend for the perfect snap? I didn't plan on wading in the water at the Narrows- don't want to slip on a rock or deal with the bacteria blooms but you make it sound pretty epic. If I did shoot at the narrows, which filter(s) do you recommend? Neutral Density and a Polarizer?

@davidqueenan 3 года назад

Surely the reason that the highlights on the XT4 are much brighter is because you didn't shoot at 'exactly' the same settings. The GFX was at ISO 100 and the XT4 was at IOS 160 - so nearly +2/3 of a stop brighter? You could have raised the ISO on the GFX to match the XT4.
