FUJIFILM X100V vs SONY A7C II vs FUJIFILM XT5

[@cammackey]

When finishing this edit I felt like it was missing something and it just hit me.. The Sony A7C II is honestly inspiring to use for this type of photography. Specially the image quality you can get out of it. But once you see your composition with those Fuji film some.. you’re like “OH”.

[@antwilkphotography]

Love a new Cam video. As a Sony shooter, for my little pet portrait business, I couldn't agree more. The Sony is a fantastic tool but it never inspires me to shoot. I didnt click with the x100v and it's 35mm fixed lens. I'm more of a 50mm guy and love my xt3 with a 50mm equivalent lens. There's just something about the Fujis that feels special

[@cammackey]

@@antwilkphotography man that Fuji 35mm f1.4 is something special!!!!

[@Youcantleavethisempty01]

Same! My 33mm f1.4 hits that sweet spot.

[@michaelj7069]

100%

[@michaelgrobin6781]

Couldn’t agree with you more I run the X-E4 and the A7C and the Fuji will always “motivate” me more to go shoot the scene for what it is, truly capturing the moment and mood. The Sony doesn’t make me get out of bed and shoot. BUT the Sony does give me that Full Frame power and crispy images I crave, and with some quick edits in Lightroom you get a masterful pic! It’s tough because I love both cameras systems for different reasons. Fuji just tugs at my heart strings though and will always hold a special place!

[@miguelquezada1916]

This quality of cinematography and edits has no place being this good for a camera review. The bar has been raised.

[@OTNaugrim]

it feels a little bit forced and not suited to the content on screen though IMO, like i get style and preference, but dude is standing at a regular interesection and the camera and shaking plus music makes feel like it's out of the newest Jason Bourne movie... Also the anamorphic lens flare is again, completely overkill and distracting... dude has potential though, seems nice, but i feel like a more laid back editing approach would fit his personality 100% more

[@A1000Truths]

i’m an X-T5 guy. It’s like a mini A7RV in my opinion but with the Fuji film simulation. Plus you have 40 mega pixel and the latest autofocus. I actually sold my X100v because of the X-T5.

[@benfelt804]

Me too!

[@inhardwarewetrust3057]

I've got the x100vi on preorder and I'm debating maybe getting the xt5 with a 16-80mm lense instead for the versatility of subjects you can shoot, but I'm not sure

[@LiamoLuo]

@@inhardwarewetrust3057 Honestly, get the X-T5, its actually available to buy at retail price (discounted in my country atm) and you can use so many of the great, small prime lenses. Camera won't be much bigger as the X100 series isn't pocketable anyway as often claimed. I've still got my X100T and I love it, but decided on a XT5 instead of a X100v/ X100vi due to availability.

[@jolima]

@@inhardwarewetrust3057Same thoughts - what’s your conclusion?

[@inhardwarewetrust3057]

@jolima I ended up getting a new 35mm camera and I'm really enjoying it, but still have the Vi on the way 🤔 I'll get charged 10% if I cancel my order

[@stevenzeko2730]

The best camera you can have is the one that inspires you to use it. The one you can’t wait to use and makes everything look amazing. If the pictures look too clinical and perfect it doesn’t resonate with me either, it’s like life it isn’t perfect you need that grittiness like a sun bleached desert oasis that has lost its glamour look. Time gone by and taken its toll on things can be very sexy in my opinion. Love the way you convey that through your pictures and videos.

[@CemCeyhan]

[@chrisxglass]

I recently sold both of my X100Vs to get the XT5 and a couple of the “FUJICRON” lenses. Very happy with my decision.

[@nikparra99]

Do you miss the integrated flash from the x100? I’m thinking about selling my x100v as well.

[@chrisxglass]

I’ve been watching you for years and your re-direction has been so fire. This video is GAS. Definitely changing, and setting, a standard.

[@DylanBlackburn]

I love the contrasting opinion I have about the A7CII/A7CR. Everything I love about those cameras are what you love about the Fuji’s! It inspires me to get out and shoot. Goes to show how important it is to find the right camera for you individually! Great video man!

[@cammackey]

Dude I kept thinking of you while filming haha!!! And now as I’m typing this I’m realizing I should have freakin gave you a shoutout. Cause you show how it can be used in the same way. But the question is, do you wish Sony had film sims?

[@DylanBlackburn]

@@cammackey all good brother! I agree with what you said about Tyler’s video. Being able to import film simulation profiles is the biggest thing that Sony cameras need to really be able to compete. I believe it will come eventually. Personally it doesn’t bother me all that much since editing the photos is just as fun as actually going out and shooting. It’s so rewarding when the edit comes out how you envisioned while out shooting!

[@CrispyFloat]

@cammackey there is now Sony film simulations using the picture profiles. A guy Veresdenialex started playing with it and they are pretty incredible. I'd love to see you review them. Truly a game changer for Sony cameras.

[@FreemanFamilyFoolery]

​@@CrispyFloatthose picture profile settings are a game changer but It would be nice if it was on Sony natively

Yup - it’s the flip screen on the a7C2 that is sending me to Fuji for the tilt screen, but that’s cuz I’m shooting urban street

[@jeffmerheb3182]

Perhaps the Nikon Zf is a good choice for you as you like both the retro look and flippy screen. Though it's a heavy camera specially if you want to add the optional grip

[@bpiercevideos]

I can’t believe how much your video made me want to go out and take photos. I’m so glad I found your channel!!

[@michaelj7069]

The X100V. Liberation through limitation. Love it.

[@JasonMcMullen]

I love the look of the Fuji but the complaining about the photos being boring on the A7C II when the photo actually is just a parking lot is a bit too much

[@cammackey]

You missed the point.. cause that same “boring” photo thru the Fuji viewfinder looked amazing. Also, this is an art form. I’m sure I would have opinions about your boring work as well cause we’re all different artist.

[@JasonMcMullen]

Well it borders on wanting the camera to make uninteresting things look interesting. Also since you brought up myself, I love nature and I live in Hawaii so I don't like to put a heavy filter on my images. I prefer a camera that represents reality (at least as a baseline), and you would consider that boring haha. Also I have never taken a photo of a motel parking lot in mid day and thought that it would be interesting with any camera so we just different bro @@cammackey

[@thequarantinecatholic]

^ this!!!! =)

[@botant500]

I've had every X100 including the v. But I switched from the X100v to the A7cii because of the autofocus. Sony's AF is unmatched but it's always been Fuji's Achilles heel. Also, I only shoot RAW so I don't care about the colors SOOC. Yes, the X100v is a lot more fun to use but IQ is the bottom line. If an image is out of focus or just not sharp, it doesn't matter how much fun I had making it. Just my 2¢. PS - I love your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@cammackey]

Agreed, for client work! But for personal work.. I don’t mind more “errors”, keeps it feeling human. But def for like high end fashion work.. Sony all the way.

[@rosemanbridge1000]

I use the XH2’s and they are generally great but the AF is STILL not where it should be at compared to other brands.

[@catbread2585]

I might be biased but honestly, I've been shooting for years with my XT-3 for weddings and I dont struggle with autofocus at all, sure other brands are way more advanced, but still I dont see this problem in real life, and I imagine that the XH2 autofocus is way ahead of the XT3, so I always find it funny this whole debate about autofocus, maybe you're doing sports events and you need a faster AF

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

[@TCinSoCal]

This was fun to watch. Thank you. I’ve shot Fuji WAY more than Sony but a lot of my shooting is family, kids, travel … and being able to just aim the camera, compose and KNOW focus will be on-point is so valuable to me. The A7Cii does that and it’s so easy to shoot/control one-handed. Some of my shots are landscape and the 33 FF sensor > 40 crop sensor for this IMO… from my use. Fuji did it right with the X-T5 though.. light and nimble!

[@compaadres88]

Agree. Still keeping my Sony a74. Like the fitment in my big hands. Full frame look. But my x100. Is perfect small. The look of the photos. It’s a great combo setup.

Recently bought an X-T50 and the Fuji 27mm f2.8 lens. That's definitely become my go-to lens for travel because of it's useful 40mm equivalent focal length and compact size. I also love the aperture ring on the lens. Add in Fuji film simulations and I am kind of understanding why some people love Fuji so much.

[@TheRoamChannel]

As someone older, we only used those because it’s what was the best at the time. The Sony image now is way better and you can mess with it more in post to get whatever you want

[@cammackey]

Sometimes more quality isn’t better

[@domidarko1166]

XT3 & Fujicron's currently. It's the best all-round set up for me for price, speed, colour, quality BUT I take far less images than I used to when I owned the X100T. However, I will be needing a landscape setup when I move to the country so mulling over getting the new X100 as my everyday camera and a 50r as my day trip camera.

[@TwinIonEngines]

I own both the X-T5 and X100V, and I've never done so much photography in a month than I did in a year before. the look, the feel, the tactile sensation of operating them, the image quality, the colors, the simulations, even the lenses feel good on the hand. You just.... CRAVE to go out with them, over, and over, and over again. They make you want to keep experiencing them.

[@kiezkerry3]

what do you think is the better beginner camera?

[@TwinIonEngines]

@@kiezkerry3 personally any of the X100 series, or any fixed lens digital rangefinder for that matter. Not having a choice in the lens and being stuck with what you have lets you focus entirely on your actual photography, skills, etc. It at least was a great learning platform for me before I grabbed an X-T5, I'd have felt really overwhelmed had I done it the other way around.

[@20111111jorg]

Long time Sony shooter but always liked the idea of the X100 as it reminds me of my old Leica M3. I took a close look at the X100 at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="396">6:36</a> vs the Sony A7C at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="400">6:40</a> with a screen capture. The Fuji saturates the picture more and also isn't as sharp making for a more dream like feeling. This slight off focus also makes part of the station's chipped paint less harsh adding to the feeling of nostalgia. Sort of like using a linoleum lens to photograph an aging painted lady.

[@Mettyunuabona_]

This is why I shoot fuji. Gone through each of the BIG three, and there's something quaint about Fuji that really fits from my ideas, to feel, to simply how I see colour; and it's slap-bang.

[@ThanhNguyen-sk6uc]

I rent the Xt5 to use it on my recent vacation, came back home and sold all of my sony gear. Yes Sony is great don't get me wrong, they have great autofocus and just a beast of a workhorse. But I found myself feeling like I needed more. I opt to go with two Xt5 bodies and the Xh2S for my videos and I'm very happy . I was a bit nervous when people mentioned about the autofocus on the Fuji. Went on my trip and my hit rate was about 95% to me that's still well above what I had expected. Love the colors it makes editing so easy at times I just retouch the skin and leave it as it because of how nice it looks right out of the camera.

It’s so interesting you said it inspires you to find the frame… I just did a shoot with the a7rv and the xt5! With the xt5 I worked to really properly get and frame the shot that looked good in camera. Where that was just not the experience with the a7rv. I mean I was flat out hunting for perfect compositions and with the Sony I was just machine gunning away with my model!??? Duuudde There really is something to this!?? Also I didn’t think I would like the tilt screen on the xt5 over the articulating screen. But now that I am use to it I think it actually ads to the feeling of framing up the shot 😊 much better.

I mean, I'm still rocking the xt4 and that has a full swivel screen, 26mp sensor though, but I totally feel everything you are saying. it's my perfect middle ground and I feel it's the perfect starting point for someone that wants to get into this kind of photography and video. as always, good work man.

[@balboa0621]

Longtime fuji user who picked up an a7c used when the mkii came out. I miss the joystick desperately and actually missed more shots on the sony, but the improvement in low light performance is dramatic. Shooting in aperture priority is much better on fuji, though, as i have a button assigned for iso/min shutter speed combinations. But i still cant get over the huge difference in low light performance.

[@karlbratby4349]

Have you tried the xh2s ? It may not be a7c quality but it is best out of any Fuji I have used, in fact paired with the right glass it is fantastic, AF is still not Sony standard though but high iso when processed in C1 is great 👍 not overly impressed with my xh2 and xt5 as much though 🤦‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@MonsterS4R996]

I’m a Fuji shooter. I used to shoot Sony, A6400 and ZV-1. Switched to X-T4, and recently got X100V. I get SO MUCH more fun with Fuji. (BTW, 95% of the time I shoot with vintage Canon FD lenses with Metabones speedbooster.) Your video kinda explained to me why I like my XT-4 + vintage FD lenses set up. I’m getting to realize “what type of picture” do I like to create. Like, “Sabotage (2014)” ‘s last gunfight scene. “The good The bad and The ugly( 1966)” Angel Eyes’ “When I’m paid, I always follow my job through.” scene “Sicario” “Time to meet the God” scene. Thanks so much for making these videos. I’m a huge fan.

I’m moving from a6400 to XT5. I hate the colors on Sony. So bland.

[@ABAYT51]

I actually love the XT5 for video. I don't Vlog, so I have no use for a flip out screen. For street scenes or B roll, I enjoy the discreetness of not having the flip out. Waste-finder type viewing with that type of video works well for me. That said, the A7Rv type screen should be the standard now! Oh and I agree about the Sony...they have amazing tech, but have no soul.

[@isaacsnowhite104]

[@TravisVarga]

Great video, thanks. Poor A7C ii lol.. From my experience, Sony's A7siii sensor has the 'magic' - similar to Fuji. I rented an a7C ii and used together with the zv e1 to kinda compare. White balances between the two always off - they seem harder to mach than you'd think with the different sensors. Super different colors too - A7c ii always has a green tint to it too and appears 'bland. Reminds me of the A7iii image, which I always struggled with..More magenta and pleasing to my eyes with the zve1/a7s iii. As you stated though, its more of an 'it' factor. A7s iii sensor did something so right, still haven't found another image from Sony I like more. Didn't think I would dislike the a7c ii as much as I do. The colors in general (beyond the green tint) just arn't doing it for me at all.

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

Thanks for the video. Very happy with my A7CII and A7CR but still own my X-E3 and it’s 24 Mpixels because I like interchangeable lenses but the 27mm lives on it mostly.

Would like to see Sony or Sigma create a 28mm full frame lens for these cameras.

[@bennieferinga9609]

Well if I had to choose from those 3 for stills, it would be the XT5. Easily. But I chose the Nikon Zf as ‘my’ camera. Lumix S5ii & S1H for video work. Early days, but the Zf for me is capturing the feeling I used to get from Fuji X100’s, XE’s and X Pro’s, just more capable than all of them.

I liked the review, liked the scenes. But I totally disagreed with you XT5 analysis, I adore the backscreen as it is. Flipping screens are irritating when you use your screen as a viewfinder, because your view would be next to the camera and not in line with your subject. For me a flipscreen would have been a dealbreaker. I respect your opinion, but I thought your vlog was perfect without the xt5 as your vlogcamera!

I used to use LUTs for stills in my Sony a6400. I don't know if was meant to be used that way, but there was nothing preventing me from shooting stills in Picture Profile 11, where I had Slog2, and then in Lightroom I had my LUT's imported as Color Profiles. Bit of a hack, but it worked. But I would LOVE a simple straightforward in camera option to shoot stills with LUTs, bake it in the JPEG etc.

[@costagf]

The Sony A7CII in this video (and other Sonys) CAN use user LUTS in camera directly as you said. But that means the user has to do the work and find appropriate LUTS versus what FUJI does, so officially HIGH QUALITY Luts for different LOOKS BY SONY would be welcome and I don't understand why Its taken so long.

Totally agree with the inspiration of fujifilm. Been shooting fuji the last two years and loving it. Bought a sony a7iii with a tamron 28-75 2.8 to test another system. I probably took some of my best photos with that camera, but jeeeez what a boring and uninspiring camera to use. The sony is going right out on sale, glad to be back on my x-t4

[@bywayofnewyork]

Thanks for another banger of a video. You definitely go out of your way to tell the story in a cinematic way. You mentioned the X-H2s being amazing for video. I recently picked up one, but can’t seem to find any updated videos on best settings for specifically video shooting (most videos on KZbin seem to be made around the time of this camera launch, and things have changed like software updates to focus) Could you do a video, in your excellent storytelling way, showing specific settings for different use cases ( ie. day/vs night shooting)? I do believe that video would get tons of views. Lastly, many of us are new to the Fuji platform. ALL the videos I’ve seen on video settings for the X-H2s JUST show what settings they’re using, but NOT what to set up FIRST. Like do we go into manual mode first….set up overall settings for the camera that become like the master settings, then go to another area on PASM dial to dial in presets for C1-7? Like not even Fuji has best practices on this. It’s frustrating. Most books, long videos etc are primarily focused on photogs. Thanks for the consideration. Cheers 🍻 2024

[@cammackey]

I think i have your answer brutha.. You’re over thinking it. The Fuji system is very simple. Def put it into manual mode and start from there.

@@cammackey 😂🤣😎 ahh I see. That’s it! That’s the piece of information I was missing! Thank you so much for this informative reply. With this new piece of information, I see no reason why I should ever doubt my abilities. Setting my camera in manual mode and skipping ALL the details should do the trick just nicely. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏽

@@bywayofnewyork hahahaha sorry brutha. Its too big of a question to answer in the comment section haha

[@ConnorMcCaskill2]

Fujifilm just has that magic sauce! I miss my XT4

[@ngg4399]

Awesome video, man. I just purchased an XT-5 today to upgrade from my XT-4 SPECIFICALLY to switch back to the tilt screen. lol. I don’t have much interest in video, personally, and the flip out screen is very frustrating to deal with if you are roaming around and want to take quick shots at almost any angle at a moment’s notice. At least for me anyway. I hope they keep the tilt screen for XT- line and the flip out screen for XH- line and just keep improving both so there is a camera for everyone.😊

[@cammackey]

I hope they can do something similar to my Sony A7RV next time

[@fffeuchtner]

Great video! For the flip-out screen you could always get a X-T4. It‘s a great camera although the autofocus could be better. I shoot with a Canon R6 II for a lot of my work-related stuff but for most of my personal work I shoot with my Fuji X-T2,3,4. Great cameras and a lot of fun. They just make you wanna shoot.

[@fffeuchtner]

​@@Eyeofkamau Yeah but if you use it mainly for photography it doesn't matter. I have also seen a side-by-side comparison between the X-H2s and X-T4 where F-Log2 is actually worse than F-Log1. Haven't compared it myself though.

[@fffeuchtner]

​@@Eyeofkamau You are right. But from what I understand he would like the flip-out screen even more although to be fair, he mentions F-Log2 specifically and the 40-MP sensor as two great things about the X-T5.

[@allenschneider1847]

So I'm surprised you didn't consider something in the Fugi E series. You have a range finder and can change lenses. Hopefully they will continue to upgrade features.

[@jessekedar]

Great video. Love the cinematography in this and the colors. I own the XS-20 and it's basically a mini xh2s with a few concessions for it's tiny size but it does have the flippy screen.

[@natandtheguy1]

I own all the newer Fuji camera body’s XH2 , XH2s , XT5, but it seems like a good fit for this video to compare would have been the XS20 because it’s between the xt5 and the x100v as far as features plus it has a flip out screen and it shoots open gate with interchangeable lenses. Amazing cinematography with all your videos but especially this one great work

[@SimeonKolev]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="100">1:40</a> but you can have film simulations with the Sony :) you just have to add a LUT that converts SLOG3 to whatever film you want and it can shoot JPEG or HIF with baked in film sim. :)

[@cammackey]

The A7CII doesn’t even have LUT support tho?

[@JasonLawrenceNoel]

Thanks for the info! Will have to look this up!!

[@ericrjennings]

@@cammackeyhey cam, it does have LUT support. Is it not possible for photos?

[@cammackey]

@@ericrjennings nope

[@allenschneider1847]

Are there a number of Sony lenses now with the aperture ring? That's something I love about Fugi. Did you say that was a 40mm lense? Is it a g-master? A general purpose e-mount zoom with aperture ring (28-75) would be great.

[@warzlbaerschtn]

I loved my X100V, but still I sold it for an xt5 to be more versatile.

[@tincset]

Are you happy with your decision? I love my x100v, because of its simplicity and because it’s really portable. I mainly use it when I am done with work (videography). But i am missing being able to use different focal lenghts with it. So i am debating myself to upgrade to an xt5 + kit lens 16-50mm and probably a fast prime like the 33mm.

[@dda.visuals]

I love all my Fujis and I sold all my Sony. I shoot with Fuji before buying Sony (A1+A7RII) but I never had fun with them. And when the X-H2S/H2 were released I tested them and hop.. buiten Sony. But at the end of the day it's all about workflow and what suits yours.. Mine is Fuji.

[@Chromatomic]

Honestly I’m surprised no one’s really been competing with Fuji on the film simulations. They’re awesome and I’ve been on Sony for years, it’s the primary thing I miss.

[@Alexkj52]

Im just amazed, this video is on really high quality! This is like a western movie!

[@nourhanbalian3294]

Sony A7c2 user here, im happy, since I get the best of both worlds, photo and video, and its compact body, it all ends up to composition and editing skillsif Sony did an update with LUTs, I would be so happy

[@cammackey]

I think LUMIX patented this though, so im not sure if they'll ever be able to use luts for photos now. Not sure how that all works

[@nourhanbalian3294]

[@brettgoulder5208]

@@cammackey I heard Sony patented a new tech called "Sony LUTs", or "SLUTs" for short

[@robinchiey]

Its all about the colors that fuji comes with, i also struggle with going back and forth between the fuji and sony. somehow fuji captures the image just like its ment to be in your head.

[@miggyloz806]

i just still don't see the hype behind Fuji Full frame will always have a pop to me you cant get on apsc

[@cammackey]

Well you can def get that pop, just takes some math. Medium format for instance lets you get closer to your subject with the same compression which creates more separation. For instance a full frame 35mm f1.2 lens on gfx medium format is around 28mm f0.9 and on S35 is around a 50mm f1.8.. so just reverse all of that.. to get the same effect on s35 to the full frame you need a 23mm f0.8 It’s all possible. Just takes some math haha

[@bandwagonbull]

Such a sick video, I think you've absolutely nailed your style of reviews with this one! Orions on the KX? I think you've also struck a cord here that not many other people talk about because they're so caught up with how they perform on paper, and that's how they make you feel when you shoot. Arguably all of these cameras will do the job well enough, but ultimately if you're enjoying what you're doing when you're shooting, you're gunna yeild better results and shoot more which is way more important IMO. Smashed it again ✌🏻

[@cammackey]

Thank you bro!! The specs are the boring part for me. I wanna get cameras in hand and see what they can bring out of me and the situation. And Sony fx3! Can’t talk about lenses yet, stay tuned

[@bandwagonbull]

@@cammackey Same man! Christ, that little camera honestly always suprises me hah defo interested to hear the lens setup for this vid...

[@DayumMarq]

from my experience, I loved my fuji xpro2, I picked up film in 2019, it got expensive and I purchased the xpro2. Ive had my Sony a74 since release and love that camera. The main issue I had is that when I shoot fuji, I have in the back of my mind I don't need to edit all that much. With the Sony, I know it's 100% better but I also know that id have to edit my Sony files after. lol sooooo I ended up selling my fuji stuff, putting a Zeiss 35 2.8 on my Sony annnnnndddd... buying a Leica mp240 lmaoooo. so that's what I use for my inspiration and fun lol

[@t.eddyyy]

Thanks you for this video! I am in this exact dilemma currently but with X100VI instead. And i am still confused!

[@fuelediowa]

I have an xpro 2 and xt5 and others as well. I feel with Fuji especially the xpro and 100 line you take more time creating a photo vs just taking a photo. The XT line is great at both. You need the fast grab of an image and it is there for that but you can create just as easy. The Sony, Canon Ect are cameras that will get a photo everytine with little input needed. Which is great unless you want to create a photo than those ectra creative choices are either buried or non-existent at all. Sure technically it is going to be a fine photo but one that anyone holding that camera can get. FYI the XT-5 is the camera that has done more for my creativity ability than any other camera. Shooting simi professionally for 20 years that is saying something.

[@jamesrhynard287]

Need to try out the xs20 it’s A baby xh2s small body flip out screen 26mp

[@alexeipg]

Curious if you’ve played around with the Sony “creative looks” on newer cameras like the a7cii. They may not be a match for Fuji’s film simulations, but are vastly improved compared to filters on older Sony cameras. The FL and IN looks are especially good I think and can be improved through tweaking.

[@cammackey]

I have and they do nothing for me personally. I just end up putting it back to normal cause I find them so pointless. Sony makes some of the best cameras, they just need to work on the inspiration side of the art now!

[@barneymovie1]

I agree be great if Sony would give us something similar to Fuji I found a neat little video colour grading trick i can do on my Galaxy S23 ultra and am looking forward to using it Cheers so much i appreciate all your efforts going into your videos 😊❤

[@jaspervos4345]

I think your camera would be the XPRO 2 or 3 with that 27mm lens. Just use that.

[@Vikingdescendent]

Once you get bitten by the FUJI film simulation bug, it hard to let go! FUJI is an ART camera. Next level down to earth vid!

I would use some Sony recipes as well. think this would help for the motivation to shoot
