Great video... Your videos helped me decide on my Nikon Z system. I am not changing, that Sony might be a great camera and if I had unlimited income sure I might consider Sony. But I don't. And the Nikon Z works for me. But I did notice something in the video, and this is a compliment, no matter what camera or lens you showcase in a video your images look the same. Amazing! I think the one thing you should showcase more is your STYLE because no matter what camera your images look the same. You prove so many times, it's not just the gear but the photographer!

Omar, that sports team was a perfect analogy! Loving the new look to the studio/office. The A7IV is quite a nice camera. I follow a photographer named Keith Dotson who shoots black and white using one. The detail he gets is just sweet. For me, it's too expensive. My X-T3 will be around for a while. But, for me it's great. In this latest selloff frenzy of Fuji gear I was able to pick up both the XF56mm v1.0 and the XF90mm in almost new condition at crazy good prices. I love both of them so much. So, I'll be quite happy for a while! LOL! I'm retiring from teaching in June and plan to kick up my shooting education/practice. Thanks for another enjoyable video. Just had to throw in that flippy screen at the end! LOL! Have a great weekend!!

@Phillip Banes I don't doubt that the RX100V is outputting great colors, it's a great camera! It's one of their newer model cameras. As I mentioned, their newer cameras are getting better. It's native color profiles (if you don't shoot raw) that are weak in Sony. Also if you miss exposure, the red channel (and green channel) go wacky real quick when correcting exposures. 7:55 Omar discusses and shows examples of skin tones. If you're happy with your camera, ignore my comment and keep creating! Cheers.

Totally agree , Omar . Cameras are tools ha ha . Some more desirable than others , depending on personal preferences. My thing was and still is the em10 Mkii . Light , easy to carry and really lasts all day shooting . Like with all tools there are their strengths and weaknesses . So, to all those looking for perfection : it doesn’t exist; but those who know what they want and know where the best compromise is to fulfilling those needs ; then go for it. Just love the videos Omar and the straight talking and no holds barred views . Until your next video - thanks once again and look forward to catching you again pretty soon.

I switched from fuji xt4 a year ago to the Sony A7 IV and although Fuji was good, I find the Sony A7 IV much more reliable in eye auto focus, tracking all kind of subjects, low light capabilities and not to mention a plethora of third party lenses available. The bigger sensor paired with a wide aperture lens make a big difference when pushing the ISO high. I've always shoot raw so colour science is not a deciding factor as I like to apply my own looks to my pictures. Plus a7iv video output is just beautiful. The fuji xt4 was a fantastic camera, but for my needs, I cannot see myself ever switching back to cropped sensor after Sony. Love my a7iv.

This is so reassuring. Yesterday, I traded my Nikon Z6 ii and lenses for an A7IV and two lenses. I’d rented the Sony 3 times just to make sure on my choice. The autofocus is pure witchcraft. The workflow was so much easier on the Sony. I’ll be shooting film on my Nikon F100 until the new gear arrives.

Hey Omar, thanks a million for this. This is the kind of review that I've been waiting for. I have been using my Canon 80D for the longest time, but since I've started shooting events I have been seeing limitations and been struggling a bit in low light. Have been wanting to upgrade for a while now and Sony has been on the top of my list. The reasons that you have pointed out, i can relate. I guess it's the A7 IV for me. Thanks again and keep rocking 🤘🏼.

@@digitalfilmreviews7843 As much as I love Canon, the systems seem expensive to me here in the UAE. And I use a grey card for my shoots so for colors, I do put my own spin on it. The reason why I wanted the sony was for the low light capability and auto focus especially for event photography. Would like to get your opinion on the newer Canon systems to see if they compare and if so which one would you recommend.
@digitalfilmreviews7843
@digitalfilmreviews7843 Год назад
@@muneermajeed7539 Canon are more expensive because the cameras are built better and to last. Canon (and Nikon) have been making cameras for however many decades while Sony only recently started. You will see recent videos where people switch to Canon from Sony because the Sony camera lasts only two years. So in the long run Canon is cheaper. The new Canon cameras can autofocus extremely well in low light, so that is not issue. R6 mkii and R5 are amazing cameras that will last the distance.

Yes Omar! This video came at the perfect time! I'm about to hit the Go Button and switch to the Sony system for my professional work.

Very nice summary. Having used the A7M4 for 6 months I agree with most. However, I found the color tweaking not so straightforward. I'm grateful you're mentioning this point. My advice to anyone who's interested - be aware that for landscape photography with this camera you may require to do some serious color tweaking beyond "auto WB". It's better for people, snappy colors etc. But greens, browns, blues, greys (clouds in they sky) - they were challenging to work with for me.

It's the autofocus that brings me to this juncture where I am contemplating whether to buy this and keep my Fuji XT-4, or trade-in the Fuji to get this plus a nice lens. Sad because I love the Fuji and we only get into arguments about the focusing in video, which is weak. The question now is whether I would miss the Fuji or not.
@francescopuglisi1
@francescopuglisi1 Год назад
Ciao amico mio. You are the only one who notices that Sony's strength is not so much the reliability of the AFC, but the practicality of its use. Two other things about the A7M4 that nobody talks about are: the possibility of seeing with the flash mounted on the hot shoe the actual exposure of the environment, with the other machines you have to turn off the flash. And, in the video field, in addition to switching instantly with the appropriate dial, regardless of the priority set by the PASM dial, you can independently manage the exposure triad with a combination of dials and buttons. So you can work in video with priorities and automatisms different from photos, without having to change the PASM dial from time to time

Hi Omar. I follow your channel from the very first time I use fuji. I used xe, xt, xs, xh,... and find some struggles when focusing, noise and raw editing. And as a fuji lover, i tried to move to GFX, the GFX 50sii, which is a totally wrong choice for my needed. I sold it 3 months later. Then move to a7iv. I totally happy with it. The best focusing i've ever use. I just need to think about the composition. The noise is ok with me. The raw editing also ok. Its jpeg is awesome, very trendy but I still miss the fuji color 😁. The most feature that i miss from fuji is the display review images. I can continue shot on evf but when i need to see review image, i just need to look on LCD. I cannot find this useful feature on Sony. Just want to share my thought and experience. Thank you so much for all the things you did in this channel 😁

Nice critique. I use Nikon because I went digital when the D700 came out and now I'm invested. But man I wish I had Sony AF sometimes! Or Canon AF from what I gather. As for cost the Nikon Z9 may be on par with Sony and Canon AF but its no better and it costs an arm and two legs. And even then it seems to require enough computing power to run the entire planet just to get there. Agree about ability to use third party lenses and Nikon has come to the party here. Tamron and now Sigma I think will make Z mount lenses which is brilliant.

i can't really stress enough how much an improvement the video quality is between the a7iv and the a7iii. It's another level, and I'm sure that 10-bit color helps quite a bit. This camera however tends to be too sharp, so dial in the detail to at least -6 or ideally -7, and it also looks a lot more organic in certain situation if you can add a filter that will bloom the highlights a subtle amount.

Sounds like the A7IV is a nice camera. And even though a camera is just a "tool" I don't think people necessarily have to switch out their entire system just because another manufacturer has raised the bar on certain features in a new model. Their current system most likely will come out with a similar model. The different camera makers usually leap frog each other in product development over time. It may be a different situation for photographers who do a lot of paid work and the new camera really helps them out in a concrete way.

I have a bunch of Fuji cameras, and an X-T5 was shipped to me today. I love Fuji. But my Sony a7IV is the most reassuring camera I've owned. The ergonomics are great - the chunky grip, the perfect operation of the buttons, etc. The camera feels thoughtfully designed and well manufactured. The AF is great. The EVF looks good. Operational speed is snappy. Battery life is great. The camera can be extensively customized. The dual-use card slot #1 is welcome. The ports (and covers) are well designed - including the solid, full-size HDMI. The files are good to work with. The lens selection is terrific. I really have no complaints about the a7IV. The camera is well worth the money. I added a SmallRig base plate, which is excellent.

Why did you get an X-T5 then? Just curious.
@bobc.6419
@bobc.6419 Год назад
@@marvellous9652 Because I like the Fuji system too, and I have a bunch of Fuji lenses. The X-T3 was a favorite, and the X-T5 seems like a great update. Also, the X-T5 with APS-C lenses is smaller & lighter than the Sony a7IV - sometimes an advantage.

7:27 I have the same issue with shots being a little under exposed , but come out great after lifting shadows . When I look thru the evf it looks perfect but after I review them in camera they are often a lil dark , so if I can I make adjustments and shoot it again .

Lately I've been trying to convince myself to buy an A7R5 and A74. But, I just can't do it. My A7R4 and A7R3 do everything that I want a camera to do. And that is the first time in my life that I can honestly say that.

Curious what you use for processing raw files, specifically for the Nikon Z cameras. Struggling a bit with the 7Z2 files in Bridge/ PS ACR. I want to love my Z72 but there's so much I love on the Fuji XT4.

If I'm designing a dream Sony camera... a7c with a better menu system, and basically trade the screen for a better EVF. Small rangefinder-style body with a great EVF would be a sweet camera.

Can you discuss about Sony creative style vs picture profile in relation to photography. Which affects RAW and which acts like Fuji film simulation?
@ThanhThanh-it1pm
@ThanhThanh-it1pm Год назад
Fuji film simulation just effect jpg. you can produce that color after by raw and software (lightroom,...) Sony picture profile just for video. slog2 slog3, s cinetone. Sony creative style is very similar fujfilm simulation but it doesnt have much funtion like fujifim. ony efect JPG file for ex Classic Chrome Dynamic Range: DR200 Highlight: +2 (High) Shadow: +1 (Medium-High) Color: -1 (Medium-Low) Sharpness: 0 (Medium) Noise Reduction: -2 (Low) White Balance: Auto, +1 Red & -2 Blue ISO: Auto up to ISO 3200 sony doesn't have Classic chrome, Highlight and Shadow. any thing else sony does have. sony creative style:standard, Vivid,..similar Provia or Velvia (color doesn't match) fujifim have separate menu for film simulation. sony doesn t have. lightroom have Sony creative style color for sony raw file. I am not sure it's match jpg=))

Coming from Nikon professionally I've used the Z6ii and still own a D850 but I jumped ship last year and also use a Sony A7R IV and the A7 IV. To be honest I gravitate towards the A7 IV more than any other assignment. Maybe the Z6 iii is closer now.

hi omar would you mind talking a little more about the color science differences between nikon and sony? have you ever tried opening your sony files in capture one instead and noticed whether it helps colors look more natural compared to lightroom?

What I've noticed is the A74 is much improved over the A7III when it comes to skin tones.

I’ve seen SO MANY people switching to Sony lately from other brands (myself included). Even die hard Fuji fans can’t resist after getting just a taste of Sony AF. I’ve been using the A7iv for 6 months and I thrilled with the results. I probably should have switched a while ago, but I got there eventually. Great video Omar!!

Interesting. I just switched from sony to fuji. The X-h2s is great. Reliable Autofocus and nice fuji colors. But i understand why many would choose the sony. But for me i don't like to postprocess my fotos, so Fuji is still the best choice for that.

@@gilcarag274 40fps isn’t the selling point lol, no one needs that. What makes that thing worth $2,500 is the fact that it’s out performing cinema cameras like the canon r5c in usable dynamic range by over 2 stops. It has 7 custom modes, a top subscreen, shoots 6k open gate, prores internal at up to 720mbps, Braw and ProRes raw external. 4k60 no crop, 4k120 and has essentially nonexistent rolling shutter. Any FF camera coming in with those specs is costing over $4500
