Can't we just appreciate the fact that while Canon and Nikon were trying to anticipate and one-up eachother *just enough* to beat the other but *not enough* to give people what they wanted, Fujifilm and Sony just swallowed the market from under both of them? I respect both Fujifilm and Sony for giving the market what it wants, properly. (Disclosure: I use Fuji)

[@ryankwan1934]

Didn't CIPA have Canon as the largest share of the mirrorless market by a large margin in 2021?

[@Vinterloft]

@@ryankwan1934 In USA Canon still has majority mirrorless market share for full frame. Sony seems to have conquered Europe though. And Fujifilm absolutely gutted Nikon's APS-C market share (Nikon used to be #1 in APS-C)

[@Eikenhorst]

@@Vinterloft To be fair, I honestly don't see why one would choose Fuji over a Nikon D500, except if you care about the mirrorless part. Image Quality of the D500 and the autofocus are still superior to the XT4

[@clamm150]

@@Eikenhorst Nikon doesn't have good lineup of dx lenses, and using full frame glass on a crop sensor usually means you're paying more money or carrying a lot of extra weight. Plus, the nikon non-telephoto professional full frame zoom lenses end up being an awkward range on a crop sensor But yeah, a d500 is probably better if you're a professional wildlife or sports photographer.

[@VolkswagenNut1969]

@@Eikenhorst To each their own, but I have to disagree there. I carried around the monster Nikon with a huge heavy glob of wide angle glass on the front for years and it was tiring and not fun to use. The autofocus also was horrible compared to nearly everything else out there. Replaced it with a Sony mirrorless setup that is a fraction of the size and weight and does a phenomenal job. Autofocus is worlds better as well. Have also used Fuji and loved it by comparison too. Just ended up with Sony for the FF sensor. ;)

[@Miguel-ve1lh]

Do you use it?

[@tankerbruja]

@@viketsomeyase2004 Def don't feel jealous. What if they get the system and they find that it doesn't suit their shooting needs/wants/style. Well now they have to sell a very expensive system and buy into a new system that will fit their life better. This is why I always tell beginners to go with the cheapest system (within reason) that they can find. Because reviews can only tell you so much about what you need in a camera system. You won't know for sure if it's for you until you get shooting. No shade if you can afford the time/money/effort to swap camera systems easily should you not enjoy what you bought initially. I started on Fuji and my needs/wants were drastically different to what Fuji offered. So it was a lot of time and energy spent selling and buying new systems after shooting for a while and determining through experience what my needs were. But if I wasn't able to afford that, I would have been stuck with a camera I didn't like, and I may have even given up photography altogether if it was too difficult to change systems for me.(or worse I could have ended up on Sony) :D Most flagships are more than the majority of shooters will ever need anyways. By starting on a system without all the bells and whistles to distract you, you have the potential to learn your fundamentals and build your foundations a lot quicker than someone like me who started with a really fancy system and spent half my time googling what the menu settings were and why my camera was doing something I didn't mean to make it do. The main takeaway here is that your first camera gets you shooting. And if you are doing that then you are on the right path.

[@garrett1144]

My first camera was a crappy canon t3i, I went and got the fuji xt-2 when it came out and I still cant put it down. Like he said in the review, it just feels and looks so good its almost addicting. I'm a little torn at this point because I do want to start getting more professional and i've really been thinking about a full frame system. It's so hard to decide on which route to take.

[@hankypanky4u]

I'm a Sony Sales Representative that shoots Fuji. I love my Fuji system and use it professionally. The sensor DR is so good these days that FF is pretty much losing its grip in terms of advantageous. Does that mean there is no market for a FF system? Not at all. It's still there! But for many shooters who bite the marketing they don't understand what they want to do and how to do it. Can I shoot great portraits with an APSC? Yes, with a FF obviously, at what cost though? The difference is just some setting changes and that changes depending on lighting situation. I'm a big APSC advocate. I don't see myself needing FF but if I did it would be Sony. Sony dominates with reason but I don't agree with the "If you get into FF you'll easily get into the S and R" reasoning because R series requires a HEAVY investment in glass and post power. The S? It's not as practical as it's said. To sum, If Sony would take APSC seriously they would easily give Fuji a scare. But FF is something that more and more is sold as a all in one system and as I said before that's quickly closing with the advancements in technology. I Still sell shit tons of Sony gear and that mainly has to do with how Fuji is perceived and not actual value.

[@problemat1que]

[@omerekici9835]

That is funny. I am also a Sony sales representative at the camera department. I sold a lot of Sony and I recommend it to many people, I also got my self a Sony A6000.

As an A7iii owner, if for some reason all of my gear disappeared overnight I'd switch to Fuji I think. However once you're invested in a system it's hard to change - and as Jordan said there's still lots of room to grow with Sony!

[@TechnoBabble]

@@acidtears That's a completely different platform. You can't "grow" into a GFX camera from an X series camera, as they use completely different lens systems.

[@bluecollar8525]

Honestly, I have an x-t4 and I'm thinking of going the other way. Ya, I might save 1.5-2k on a camera body, but 1.5 stops of extra light on the sensor is a big deal. To make up for that with the lens is just plain expensive. To get an f/1.2 or f/1.4 lens in the Fuji APS-c ecosystem is pricey, but there are plenty of f/1.4 or f/1.8 options in the full frame ecosystems. Even if they're 2/3 of a stop slower, the bigger sensor more than makes up for it, and those lenses are more affordable. Plus adapting vintage lenses doesn't need an expensive adapter that, more often than not, degrades the IQ. I love the tactile feeling of my x-t4. It's a huge pleasure to use, but I don't think it's a good long-term choice.

I'm deeply invested into and very happy with my XF mount cameras & lenses for every reason Chris gives. However, Jordan is right about the quality of the Sony a7 III sensor. I know how to make my Fuji's turn out good results, but once I figured out how to use the Sony (and maybe upgraded my computer to accommodate the Sony's larger file size?), I bet I'd be happy with the Sony a7 III too. However, if I make a format move, it will be to the GFX 100S.

[@Oscee613]

I'm glad I switched from Nikon to Fuji, loving my XT3. Probably not going to wait out to upgrade till the XT5 comes out though I really want that proper tilt-y screen. For me travel size is also a benefit and smaller sensors come with smaller lenses too (I know, I know aperture is also effected by crop factor, not only the focal length)!

[@thomasmbr]

I own both systems. For general shooting and experience..XT-4. For action eye autofocus and landscape A7RIV. I took the XT-4 with 16-55 f 2.8 and A7RIV with 24-70GM to my grandson’s first birthday. The eye autofocus on the XT-4 was not even close. I quickly switched to the A7RIV and 24-70 gm. The advantage of the Fuji is user experience and the great IBIS. If the eye autofocus ever comes even close, I could go to one system. The autofocus is the rate limiting step on this system for me.

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

Wouldn't the frustration of missing easy shots be included in "user experience"? That would be a huge negative experience in my book, enough for me to skip the camera entirely.

[@domlabr]

@@BlueBomberTurbo I've tried to like Sony cameras and I simply can't get along with them. Every time I've tried to use one I have been frustrated to the point of walking away. They have a serious UI problem. Fujifilm has a much more intuitive UI in general. So for me, despite the inferior eye/face tracking on the Fuji bodies I'm still much happier with my X-T3 than any Sony camera that I've ever tried to use... and I've tried several times. If I find the basic functions difficult to use, I will be missing more shots. This is just my experience. I'm sure there are many Sony shooters who have their cameras figured out and they work great.

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

@@domlabr Hmmm, never had an issue, and I have a history of Sony cameras going back to the NEX-6, with the terrible NEX interface.

I’d go for the X-t4, most people won’t notice or even understand the difference between a full frame and crop sensor, most won’t care either.

For a nifty 50, the Samyang f1.8 45mm is 162g, and the Sony Zeiss f2.8 35mm is 120g. If you wanted to go as small as possible, the Samyang 35mm f2.8 is 85g. The zooms are heavier but i wouldn't say crazily so considering the apature. the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 zoom is 550g, (which is less than the fujifilm equivalent 16-55mm f/2.8 at 655g) The Tamron 28-200mm 2.8-5.6 superzoom is 575g.

[@eyalf1245]

And which one you ended with?

[@omarknowsphotos]

I was choosing between the X-T3 and A7 III for my first "real" camera back in 2018 and the price of the lens ecosystem across the board won me over. The fact that they regularly do firmware updates for the latest and greatest features counts for something too. That being said, I feel like even Sony's old autofocus algorithms on the RX100 are better than they are on the Fuji (at least the X-T3), as I shoot a ton of multicam content for work and use a mix of RX100 and Z-V1 cameras. I've thankfully never really missed important shots, but when I was filming social content for a brand at World's Strongest Man a few months back, there were a few scenes that were just too complex for the X-T3 that I know even the RX-100 VII would've had no issues with. Switched to manual focus on the fly and got what I needed, but not ideal. Never really saw a difference with similar lenses for photography between (good) APSC and full-frame, just usability and features between bodies. I shoot video for sports, food, and products for a living and do a ton of portraits on my own time and my only real request on something like the X-H2 is better AF. (Aside from a better codec, 4k120, blah blah. 12mp sensor if we're making wishlists.) If not...I hope Sony decides to ship Jordan an FX3 ASAP. Love your stuff guys.

As far as weather sealing, I can confirm Fuji has the lead. I had my XT2 during a hard mountain rain storm in Colorado and shot through all of it with zero issues and zero protection for it. Later I switched to a Sony A7iii for the full frame look, and took on a hiking trip during the winter where it was dropped in snow. After that it gave me an error message the rest of the day and sometimes it comes on in light rain. The Fujifilm is incredible in terms of weather sealing. I wish Sony would have added more into the a7iii body, for a semi pro body it is disappointing that I have to worry about it if the clouds go dark.

I can confirm too, I have a xpro3 used the whole year on my side not in the bag. In every rain and snow

[@ChrisFlores22]

Great vid! I have the a7iii and love it! I’m looking for a second camera and my obvious choice in my budget is an a7c. I like auto focus! But my slow mo on a7iii just seems very soft especially 120. Is Fuji xt4 something I should consider? I’m a hybrid shooter. Shoot weddings and other corporate gigs + YT

[@inspirator4527]

Hi my macbook air DOES NOT SEE fuji XT4 in finder mode. He sees in the "Photos" program. But I have a problem to import RAW files into my photo editor afterwards. Do any of you have a similar problem and solved it? Should I return my Macbook for complaint? I will add that the lenovo thinkpad works flawlessly. please help

[@MaartenSFS]

An Ibis is also a type of bird, if anyone cares to know... Really enjoyed this video!

[@Lucaemar]

Currently thinking of switching to Mirrorless from my DSLR and all signs point to the XT4, and another big one that I wished you would have discussed is the overall size and compactness of the lenses. Outdoor shooting is all fun and games, until you have to hike with heavy full frame glass ;)

[@nAcolz]

X-T5 is out now 😁

[@DonVetto-vx9dd]

F4 lens exist you know? Or even 5.6 lens. People who go hiking with 2.8, 1.8 lens are stupid.

[@suatae]

I'm new to photography. I've always wanted to dive into it and have dialed down my selection to these 2 cameras. My brother has a Nikon DSLR and has countless times told me never to get a Fuji. He has never had one, and I'll reserve judgment until I actually use one. That being said, I'm leaning towards the Fuji X-T4 used as my first camera. I like the look and the physical knobs and I want something that I can actually go out and have fun using. This video has helped me substantially, so thank you.

[@edwardhewer8530]

Excellent video gents. Very entertaining. Superb editing. Thanks.

[@kevinanselmo1933]

Started my journey in photography with the Sony A7III...switched off to the XT-4. Never looked back. Just a more complete package for me. I totally understand the hype with the full frame, and I do miss it sometimes. But the XT-4 can use all of the features of the APS-C to its full potential. I'm in love with the small beast.

[@kaitlynshrove4101]

I have loved my Fuji XT-1 for so many years now and I ALMOST switched to the Sony A7iii - so glad I found this first. I'll be buying the XT-4 and continuing on my love affair with Fuji. It's funny to me that so many photographers totally overlook Fuji because of the crop sensor - for intimate portraits (what I do), it's fucking brilliant. I only ever want a full frame because of FOMO...otherwise, it's not that intriguing.

[@krawkovski]

I find Fuji give a warmer tone over a cooler tone in Sony, is this also your reason?

[@ggrantezeronye]

I loved this so much. You guys are hilarious! Please do a Vs between the xt4 and the S5

[@davi_brt]

Nice video! Have you heard about the mechanical shutter issue with the a7iii? Is It a big riso in case someone decides ti buy the camera?

[@ramoftherose]

I shoot with my A7III and X-Pro3. And man do I really wish Fuji had more lens options (and would also update their primes)

[@Vinterloft]

Samyang/ Rokinon has some good ones. Namely the 135mm F2 is second to none, not even the Zeiss.

[@xmeda]

-30°C is a great temperature for some Pentax shooting!

[@mtcrun]

Fun video with actually some good thought provocation regarding looking at a camera as more than just sensor size. MFT vs APS-C/full-frame next?

[@yesterdaysgame]

Loved this video,. Chris your a tough competitor. Jordan your amazingly deferential and diplomatic. Would be great to see you guys do a rematch with the XT5 and A7C!! Im on the fence od upgrading from my XT4 to the A7C. ORRR!, to upgrade the XT4 for video, AND, get the A7C for for my street/candid setup. Let the games begin!!

[@TroyLucia55]

Uh, yeah, Fujifilm 100%. I have the XT-4 and use it 90% for video on a daily basis. Run a whole production company off this bad boy. It's never done me wrong.

[@meetkotecha1144]

Hey! How about A7C vs XT-4?

[@johndao5870]

I just bought a XT4. Very happy with both still and video performance. Eye AF is fine. The only issue I have is with IBIS. When I put on any unstablized prime lens on XT4, with IBIS and DIS on, I got jerky images when I panned slowly. I guess it's IBIS trying to compensate for camera movement. However, when I put on the 18-55 OIS lens, I got gimbal-like smoothnes in the footage. So I now only use OIS lenses for shooting handheld video.

The Sony cameras are amazing, and they're perfect for pro work. However, I appreciate how Fuji can do pro, but also you can throw a film simulation and shoot in jpeg when you're out for fun and upload them, or send it to their instant printer. Fuji XF Lenses are expensive, but they're also so far Made in Japan which is probably why

[@alexgreen3883]

Not to mention the lenses can withstand a bomb and still function

[@MrMikevargas1]

A like hearted back and forth and loads of info great job !

[@pmc7105]

Chris and Jordan, you could do a tournament style of review. Head to head reviews each week, with quarterfinals, brackets, etc. I'd be interested to see the XT-4 vs. the Canon M62, although the lens selection wouldn't even be debateable.

[@eliaspap8708]

The XT4 rocks but sometimes I love the look of a full frame sensor, especially on long prime lens such as a 135mm F2, u just can’t get that some look an APSc, I think both systems have there place though. The Fuji 56mm f1.2 is gorgeous and easily a great alternate to the full frame 85mm f1.8, so it all really depends on how you shoot.

[@angus3892]

Agreed. The XF 56 is the best lens I have used.

[@andreimicle]

Well, i tested canon, sony and nikon and went with the Fuji😂😂😂. Love it and I don’t miss full frame one bit. As long as people enjoy their cameras, they could be potato cams and still crate astounding photos. It’s about passion and composition, more than it’s about gear.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

Definitely true. The exception is some cameras simply don't work well with some people, which can be discouraging and uninspiring.

Congratulations for the 300k subs. More articulate people, usually beats less articulate ones. Another point for Fuji, due to a smaller sensor, you have a CHOICE to have a lighter setup.

[@brktallman]

I made the switch from Fuji (to Nikon) to Sony a couple of years ago. No regrets. Lovin me that full-frame sensor, lenses and eye-autofocus. Plus, if you need to depend on IBIS for great stills photos, then you need to go back and learn proper camera technique. IMO can't beat a Sony.

[@kaneclements7761]

Hi Brian. I shoot wildlife handheld at times (not the stuff that flies). With longer lenses in an environment where a tripod isn't an option IBIS + lens stabilisation makes a big difference. Other genres not so much if at all. I'd be interested to know what you shoot.

[@brktallman]

@@kaneclements7761 Hi. I shoot a variety of things. Not so much wildlife (unless you consider wedding parties wildlife). My main emphasis is street art/urban photography. I shoot quite a few artists and a few festivals. But I also shoot weddings, engagements, and some family and confirmation stuff. Basically anyone that will pay me.

[@rowbradley]

I had both and stuck with the Fuji. Much better video quality with the 10 bit and DCI 4k. Drawbacks to both, and both fantastic cameras, but I'm happy with the Fuji. Love Fuji lenses, colors, and operation. And the switch between photo video is *fantastic*.

[@timothybracken1728]

I got this camera due to the video quality! I love fuji for video

[@unworldlycreator9211]

If they were both sitting on a table and you had to grab one to use for the rest of your life, to shoot everything, would you still choose the Fuji? I’m considering going back to Fuji but I love the Sony ecosystem and can’t make up my mind between the a7iii or the xt4

[@SilverSmrfr]

I definitely trust the Fuji weather sealing. Forgot my XT-2 with a 23mm F2.0 (not WR) out in the rain for a whole night while camping. Found it in the morning and left it in the camper for the day to dry. In the evening I turned it on again and it still works like a charm almost 3 years later.

[@icogicog8287]

I don’t always agree with you guys....but I always think you information is very relevant accurate and presented with charm and humor. As a Fuji shooter for several years now I am biased. I mostly use the GFX for landscape and travel but I love to carry the XT4 as back up and for longer reach. Also perfect around town. I have been toying with the idea of deeping back into FF and the A7III is attractive as a reliable workhorse and very good price point. Wish Sony had an upgraded version with better menus and better ease of use overall

[@elmatito5456]

As someone that went from an xt-3 to currently a sony a7iii, I can confidently say that the sony is much better for me in regards of photography AND video, image quality is just amazing and the built quality too, I haven't missed a bit the so called "fuji colors" if any, i would say i find myself in a much easier editing process with the sony raw pictures, i think is a matter of preference, and whether or not you want full frame

[@HenrikoMagnifico]

This is unfortunately what I hear from users as well. The sentiment shared with the guys in the video isn't really what's reflected in real world use. Sony is still king, there's a reason everyone uses it over Fuji.
