Fuji XH2s vs Sony A7S III (Why You'll Prefer Fujifilm)

Camera battle! The new Fujifilm X-H2s with 18mm f1.4 and 8-16mm f2.8 vs the Sony A7S III with 20mm f1.8 and Zeiss Batis 25mm f2. Has aps-c crop sensor caught up to full frame? We compare dynamic range, color science, autofocus, stabilization etc. Is flog 2 better than slog 3? Film simulations like astia and nostalgic neg vs Sony's creative looks.

[@pawelmod3292]

In the shots you are comparing: compare also the face. For me Fuji is underexposing the face so the sky looks ok. Sony on the other hand has proper face exposure which cause sky overexposed. In Sony you have the settings to adjust if you want to expose for face (when it is detected). So you cannot really conclude if you do not know the settings, but in the other hand it is dead simple to have the exposure the way want…

[@pawelmod3292]

@@paddington2063 this is what I’ve said. Sony set exposure for the face and because of it overall shot is over exposed and because of it sky lacks the colour. It is something that could be possibly asjusted in post. And that behaviour of camera is basing on user settings. On Fuji in mu opinion face is too dark, underexposed - something that also could be adjusted or managed in post. My point was/is, that to compare the cameras, you need to have the comparable settings - in that shot fuji is setting exposure for the whole frame, sony is balancing exposure basing on face as well.

If you compare Fuji vs Sony a74, both are in same price category, then Fuji is better - you get good 4k 120, you get Prores, whyyy more recording options, Much better rolling shutter, better colors. So actually for its price, I think fuji is better.

[@Jylakir]

For Video for sure. I think Sony might have the edge when i comes to stills cause of full frame glory but for everything that goes fast, Fuji is a very good choise. I just hope Fuji will relase more new lenses. But 'm allready locked into the Sony eco-system.

[@RandumbTech]

You can record 1080/120 on the Sony and then upscale to 4k if you really need that frame rate. The Sony is still the way better value since it’s FF and offers extremely reliable AF.

[@ghostapi874]

I do work with both and I always end up taking the sony to the live jobs. Simply because the autofocus is stil random. It works great until it doesn’t and i’ve lost important moments because of that. If you do work where you can redo shots then yes I think the fuji has more potential but for fast live work its not trust worthy enough yet.

[@pmiddlet72]

Agreed on the oddities of how each camera exposes the subject. The Fuj appears, at least in YT, to have some 'extra' level of contrast baked in (is this all FLog ?). When you walk into the shade though, it looks quite nice. Otherwise the darks are, I dunno, maybe a tad bit much - personal pref. The face tones appeared to edge toward the magenta in certain cases ( yet the orange of the shirt was probably correct - I'd be curious what your vector scope shows). On the Sony front - I'm not a fan of S-Cinebone. I don't think it's any wonderful in-camera solution to Sony colors. It's f'ing magenta, too. Grading SLog3 is far easier for me (and I can for the most part, camera match it). I've learned to trust it and can simply concentrate on exposure and DoF (yeah, I use a monitor to apply a custom lut tha..... wait, not vlogger useful :)). You really DO need solid in-camera color and DR. Maybe handhold an Arri (read: monkey strength for the delts) ? Wait, no 240p for you. And you might separate your shoulder holding that rig at arm's length.......dang. And I thought jiu-jitsu was rough on 'em.

I saw faster this video because most of bla bla bla was about his impression and not a tech test. I use to manage different cameras and different brand and to find real difference you should start from a common point of exposure, white balance, and more… also for autofocus test he use lenses with different value, that influence a lot the result.

I’ve noticed that there is a bug every now and then if you turn the camera on the AF will be back focused and won’t respond until you turn it off and back on and then it should be money. I’m sure this will get ironed out in a FW update

[@RandumbTech]

I’d never buy a Fuji at initial launch for 2 reasons: 1) they never work right and occasionally get fixed with future firmware upgrades and 2) they typically discount the price (sometimes by a lot) if the camera does not sell well (like this one)

[@AsuquoTravelsProductions]

I honestly don’t think there was a camera issue as most of what I see in his video are human errors and lens choices. He should stay with his 18mm or get the Tamron 17-70 or the Viltrox 13mm. The 8-16mm is not a good lens as it can’t keep up with the new Fuji XH2S AF system.

The Fuj is has better greens, better DR leading to better blues in the sky, better overall color science, it's lighter, faster, better rolling shutter, better stab (IMHO), higher res (26mp vs 12mp) and WAY cheaper. As for the crappy animal AF, this is a brand new feature on a just released camera, and they are excellent about kaizen improvements (another plus for Fuj), which will probably address a lot of the other small stuff. For anything outside wildlife, I don't see how you can beat the Fuj for under $4k. I'd like to see the XH2S vs Canon R5C.

[@editarts1]

man r5c is a monstrous 8k12 bit badaas.it is the king.its not in the xh2s a7s3-4 range.damn those rf lenses are way expensive

[@evankolpack]

@@editarts1 Agreed the R5c is in a whole different league in many ways, but it also falls behind the XH2S in some very important ways, mainly; terrible battery life, flimsy micro HDMI port, no IBIS, heavy, big, very expensive with very expensive lenses. Although the XH2S can't hit the upper bounds of the R5C in terms of resolution, and bit depth, how many people are actually going to shoot anything ever @ 8k 12-bit? Most people will be shooting in 4k, maybe 6.2 down sampled or cropped to 4k, or even 1080. At these resolutions, the gap between the XH2S and R5C starts to narrow. They both have similar dynamic range, great color science, great image quality, good codecs, good AF, etc.....but again, the XH2S has the advantage of very good battery life, good IBIS, a real HDMI port, and it's lighter and smaller (especially after you factor that you pretty much NEED to rig up the R5C). I still think the R5C would probably look a bit better overall and edge out the XH2S, but from the vast amount of footage I've seen from both, the XH2S might pull a surprise upset.

I personally think the Sony looked way more cinematic, but maybe it’s the lens?

[@fanli279]

thats exactly why i choose sony over other camera for video. f the color science , f the dynamic range, f everything if the clip lose focus.

[@danielcabrera5547]

The very scientific review is level 10000. I honestly don’t know if I should buy the xh2 or not but that’s not the point anymore. But “we learned something” Still trying to figure out what “we” learned… lol Great video bro!

[@AsuquoTravelsProductions]

If you are basing your buying options on this video then you are in the wrong place. I will suggest you rent or buy the camera to test for yourself. Also he was using the 10 years old outdated Fuji 8-16mm instead of staying with the more modern 18mm. I have the XH2S and love it. I don’t have any regrets as the autofocus keeps up with my video needs even in lowlight

[@AndyLSB]

well the Fuj is pretty great, in terms of DR Its definitely there with the Sony, or at least pretty close, when are you testing the GH6? the stabe on that camera is gonna crush everything you have, plus the autofocus is probably better than the Fuj, My 8-18mm leica focuses blazing fast on my GH6

[@jaaaayy]

Sony? Fuji? ... Canon... oh you horrible beautiful beast, every time. I tried, Tried to take a bad sunset photo with my 5d mkiii... it was beautiful, I dropped it in the sand minutes before taking the photo as well

[@ducfc5526]

What is your color t-shirt?

[@motebike]

It was the Fuji 8-16mm f2.8 that messed up the autofocus.

[@raycarter4030]

one on the left right at the start looke best. however, to then switch your cameras on the screen was an interesting/ridiculous choice.

[@the_morf]

If you lived in that neighbourhood why wouldn't you call the police?

[@fabiocunhaphoto]

Love the Fuji colors

[@dry-bones]

So did fuji fix the exposure stepping ?

[@Vinterloft]

Some zoom lenses still have a step in the middle of the zoom range, but it's been minimized quite a bit. Sadly the 16-55 is one of them and may never be fixed. The constant stepping is gone

[@Troy_Sent_A_Message]

Crazy how easy I spotted that the Fuji looks better, but Sony has a touch better Dynamic range. Fuji wins for overall look for sure!

[@blutey]

Yes, I thought it was a yarmulke until you turned it 180 degrees halfway through the video.

[@theGiantAngryRobot]

Omg dude 😂 you have the best sense of humor. Entertaining and informative 👍

[@paulmaher1705]

Prefer how the XH2S looks, looking at other videos on KZbin there seems to be a a very big difference in autofocus perfomance on some Fuji lenses

[@ryancampbell1151]

Where is the Z9?

[@raredreamfootage]

Is this in FLOG2?

[@veresdenialex]

One Tip with Sony! Shoot 500-1000 Kelvin lower than normal temperature, sony has a warmer sensor giving you grey skies

[@veresdenialex]

Also Sony sensor captures about 1 stop of light more than fuji, so you need to lower some settings on the sony to match exposures. Look how the sky is blownout and overall the image looks more washed out, it's because of that.

[@joeygwood]

Canon colors FTW!

[@Aksunkuvat]

sony was in night mode today nice red oyster footage, also 18 1.4 cinema

[@TCinSoCal]

For skin tones try Pro Neg Standard.

[@jrc1156]

why the sony has blown up highlights like a canon camera? :D :D :D

[@dct124]

The Fuji does look better at the look out. Otherwise just horrible daylight.

[@Vinterloft]

You probably tapped the focus mode selector button. And because it wasn't getting the additional input to actually change modes it timed out and went back to AF but didn't AF while waiting for the joystick input. Anyway, if you're not keeping it for wildlife just sell it and get the cheaper X-H2 for the vlog stuff. None of the old non-LM lenses are ever going to be able to catch up with the X-H2S' capabilites, it's 150-600 or nothing for wildlife, and the 90mm F2 for concerts

[@AsuquoTravelsProductions]

The 18mm, Tamron 17-70mm and Viltrox 13mm are some of the lenses that I have noticed that work really well with the XH2S.

[@Vinterloft]

@@AsuquoTravelsProductions Yeah absolutely. The Viltrox 13 is especially impressive, its performance in stickiness at F1.4 is some kind of voodoo.

[@thomas_fodor]

Manual focus override..... Pretty sure you touched the focus ring Brother.

[@creativecomputers6060]

I was gonna write the same thing -manual focus override ftw.. being in focus is overrated, what really matters is what’s in the heart, that’s what matters

[@cameraconspiracies]

Even though I explained in the video that when you do that, the focus box disappears and peaking turns on. That's not what happened.

[@cameraconspiracies]

Also, if I had touched the focus ring it would have stayed focus very close to me. This jumped way to the background.

[@thomas_fodor]

@@cameraconspiracies Very strange, have you reported it to Fuji, & If so what did they say it could be? Also, did it do it with anything other than the 18mm? Could be a lens firmware update issue. Be interesting to see if you can get it to do it again & under what circumstances... Food 4 thunkage..

[@cameraconspiracies]

@@thomas_fodor All lenses do that.

[@svengoj]

0:36 you can see very good - the sony has still more dynamic range (all the details in the clouds where the fuji did not see clouds and paint it just blue). - you also see that the white balance for the sony is off to the warm side. And white balance has a hughe impact on colors. Like the "wow so blue" sky and straps and blacks and reds and the greeeeens - And you see that the fuji also is set to a higher contrast and more saturation. - Just go to PP1 (what is the same like PP off) and add contrast and saturation. Then film with the correct white balance. (and try N-Log lut on S-log3. Darken the blacks a bit and add some saturation. sony never looked better.)

[@BalaKrishna-bq5iz]

I own both A7siii and XT4 (soon getting Xh2s) and I used Eterna and S-Cinetone extensively. Gotta say "testing" DR with color profiles is silly. Roughly speaking, S-Cinetone gets you 60-70% of DR A7siii is capable of while Eterna gets you 80-90% of what Fuji cameras are capable of. Eterna is pretty closer to log footage with its low contrast and subtle pleasing colors where as S-Cinetone is of high contrast and crushes shadows. Totally different looks to even compare. Even Neutral on Sony isn't as flat as Eterna. The only way to "test" for DR is to shoot in log and from lab tests we know both these cameras yield about the same 12+ stops of DR which is pretty impressive for consumer cameras (We could get a stop or two more by shooting in Raw exteenally and doing the nouse reduction ourselves). For comparison, Canon R5 and R5c is still at 10,11 stops despite oversampling from 8k.

[@cameraconspiracies]

Most of the video was comparing log... And then I tried some other profiles that are most common.

[@BalaKrishna-bq5iz]

@@cameraconspiracies I can see value in this for someone who is thinking to get one of these cameras who wont shoot log and want to know which one gets them better DR straight.... S Cinetone or Eterna. That's a very valid question to have and your video answers it.... It's Eterna, even before Xh2s is released. However, I just want to emphasize how this is different from the camera's Dynamic Range itself. Shoutout for making these videos though. I'm liking these Sony Fuji videos lately.
