Finally! Been requesting this comparison on various channels and finally Gerald delivers! Thanks..
Love all the reviews coming in lately. MOAR.
Excellent! In my opinion, this is the best channel about cameras on CZcams; useful, timely, informative and exhaustive reviews, with just enough humor and fluff to keep the mood light! Great job, Gerald!
Thank you so much! That's very kind. Really appreciate it. Cheers!
Gerald, a well balanced and comprehensive but short review on the features/functions/use that matters most for many.
Thanks! :)
This was such a good review! No bias and loved the quality and content of your tests. Keep it up!
Thank you! Cheers.
Thanks for adding section titles, so useful 👍
I can't explain how much I appreciate the rythm of your videos, "enjoyably fast", but still fully understandable. even when I'm falling asleep from exhaustment... When I catch back up, every word still makes sense! 😂
Great infos, precise, & pertinent comparison with both the X-T3 & a6400, which I could almost consider, but will keep looking after a GH5 XD
The X-T3 still remains a beast though, add it a 180 screen design (Pana/Canon side or Sony up) + decent battery like a7III , & you got the Perfect Camera! But as all of us, manufacturers don't want Kasey's channel to close HAHAHA
Thanks a lot for this. That's pretty much exactly what I'm going for with the pace, so this was refreshing to read. Appreciate it.
First time on your channel, very nice presentation. To the point, informative and clearly you did a lot of work to prep. Very nicely done.
Great comparison of the two cameras. You pack a lot of info in a short video. No fluff and l dig the rigor in your work. You win again Mr G.
Thank you very much, Peter! That means a lot. Cheers!
As always a legit review, no bias, thanks!
i'm one of the new 130K happy subscribers from a year ago and I have precisely these two cameras. Dude you rock. Thanks for your excellent content.
Been waiting for this since your tweet :)
It was very informative especially beginners like me. Thank you. Subbed.
This was the exact comparison I’ve been waiting for and you nailed it! Awesome job! Thanks for helping me make my camera decision!
What are you getting ?
Sony A6400 for sure. This video was the tipping point.
Impressed with the review. Fair comparison and all great information from end-to-end. Subscribed!
Thanks! Appreciate that. And thanks for subscribing.
Another hit! Thank you for comparison video. Now, GH5S and Black Magic PCC...
I knew the ports for headphone and USB were too close. Hell...
Excellent! Very helpful and informative and you are definitely an influencer.
I watched several of these comparisons. This one is the best. Exceptional work.
Thank you very much!
New subscriber coming from a stills background trying to learn all l can about video. Yours is the best resource by far on YT. Thanks muchly Gerald.
That's a big compliment, Peter! Thank you. Glad it's helpful.
After looking at your comparison, I'm happier than before with my xt3. Thanks Gerald 👍🏾
K Karamath I'm confused between xt3 and xt30
I need it only for pictures no videos...for family outings and casual outings with friends
Money is a little concern
Should I buy xt3 and wait for few months to buy 35mm lens
Or should I buy xt30 and 35 mm together now?
@@adityathakkar9014 the xt30 is a marvelous camera and anyone would be more than pleased with the quality and usability. The xt3 is a little more elaborate and a bit more dynamic in its entirety.
If you are looking for a system that you can grow and evolve over some time with the ability to take a hobby/interest and take it further than just personal use, the xt3 would be the better bet.
But you would be happy with either.
Enjoy much on your effort. Your work is intensive & very insightful! Thank you!
The intro music is just too good!!!
No doubts about the further review as well. Good work. And i am done!!
My man! Thanks for the in depth info
Very good comparison and thorough review packed a lot of info in one video.
Nice work G like always. Keep it up.
Found it really helpful thanks
Very insightful comparison...and quite valid points, from ISO image quality to the little things like input spacing and battery/sd access on tripod. These are things people don't realize until after they've made the purchase!
And most other reviews I've seen ignored.
Great reveiw !!!! So helpful
Very good review! (As always)
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Both good cameras for the money they ask for them. Before buying one, I would suggest doing some research what lenses are available and how they fit what you need. 'Cos cameras get all the attention, but they are half of the story :)
It’s funny because the tale of glass is almost the opposite for those.
Fuji has great native lens support but not much in the way of third-party glass. Sony has those excellent Sigma primes and some third-party options but not a lot of first-party options for crop.
@@NeXMaX because we need some balance, isn't it? 😂
If you like primes, Sony wins, the sigma 16m 1.4 , 30mm 1.4 , 56mm 1.4 and sony 85mm 1.8 all cost waaaaay less than the Fuji counterparts.
@@j5daniel182 The Sigma primes are excellent. Have the 30mm on the a6000 right now and it's been great.
Fringer ex-pro adapter 🔥😎
Nicely done Gerald! I'm working on mine at the moment and it was interesting to see how we differ on a few points but agree on others. An interesting perspective.
Thanks, Gordon! I'm curious to see what you come up with. Cheers!
@blacklizted ah, the 40D, Canon's first DSLR with Live View! Did you see the video where I attached it to my telescope?!
While I like Gordon's reviews I do perceive a positive bias towards Fuji and a leniency towards any failing on their part and counter to that, a kind of damning with faint praise reluctance with Sony, often only begrudgingly admitting to being impressed with their features.
@@snodgegrass8 it depends who you ask. I've been accused of being pro every brand and against every brand, and the truth is I see pros and cons in all of them and try to mention all of that in my reviews. I enjoy Fujifilm because they deliver the images I want with the least effort, but for video I like Sony and Panasonic and for general handling and controls I think Canon, Olympus and Nikon are best. I've been a technical journalist for over 25 years now and believe me when you've been doing it that long - and for much of it for independent publications - you lose any bias.
@@cameralabs, it seems we had all new cameras for the moment. Why don't you pick cameras based on categories, say video, travel, sports, etc... That would be fun and controversy subject with a lot of uncomfortable people. (Grin)
Glad to see how fast you growing!
Such solid reviews. Thanks for the work put in it.
Thank you very much, Nico!
Love your review! I’ve been trying to decide between these exact three cameras for my first mirrorless (want something easily portable since I’m getting rid of my DSLR). Question: Which camera would be great for street pics and taking baseball sport shots of my Son? Lens recommendations also, thanks!
Thanks a lot for this really detailed comparison & review 👍
You're very welcome! Thanks for the comment. Cheers! 😃🙏
Very detailed reviews!👍🏻
Yes! Thank you for the video. Your content is amazing sir. You are amazingly thorough and detailed
Thanks so much! Cheers.
Love your work!
Subbed, i hope you get closer to 100k :) I'd love to see X-T3 comparison to EOS RP - since they are really close pricewise. I'd use them for video, so from that aspect I'd be even more interested :)
Wow... best video XT-30 review so far!!! To the point and very clearly!!! Subscribed!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words and I'm always happy to have a new subscriber. Cheers!
You deserve more new subscribers 👍
very detailed analysis - thanks for posting Gerald
Thank you! 😃👊
Great pro review, Gerald. Thank you..
Well done comparison, Gerald. As a Fuji shooter, I’d love to see a more competitive noise performance from them but it’s great to see the strides they’re making with AF. It wasn’t that long ago that their AF was slow and their video was a joke. I’m always happy to see Fuji-oriented content on your channel.
Thanks, Timothy! Yeah, Fuji has come a long way. Very competent AF now. Fuji owners should be happy. 😃
Very helpful video thx a lot 🙏♥️🌹👍🏻
Gerald your test and data show exactly what i have been finding for years camera manufactures have no standards for iso so when you use the same setting even the same lens on different cameras there can be as much as two stop difference in exposure ... i like the fact that you exposed this diffence even tho only briefly
You just sum it up much better than the rest. Picked up the a6400, gonna have fun with it. Thanks
This channel is one of the best unbiased I've seen. Subbed!
Thanks a lot, Carl! Happy to have a new subscriber! Cheers.
Gerald, you're doing some great videos and I appreciate it! It's interesting to me how different testers get different results. Do you think it's camera production variability or different testing procedures?
Thanks, John! I think it probably just comes down to different people using the camera in different ways. I don't imagine it's production variance.
comparison is between a bayer sensor to a xtrans sensor , in lightroom the demosaicing is little different. If you add a Rode mic to Sony a6400 it will be difficult to see oneself in the screen while vlogging. I haven't thought about the ports & the battery door though. Also would like to know if the images were shot at f2 in both the lenses or f2 with fuji & f1.4 with sigma on sony ?! coz that will make a difference for sure. Nice video :)
Extremely helpful video brother.
Thank you very much! Cheers.
This was amazing. I was Trying to view it as you said as a mini XT three and it just doesn’t work that way. I really wanted to save the money but I feel like the things I want on the bigger camera are worth the money and your review really made that clear.
Oh my god, another Fuji vs XXX video. I´m so excited.
Great video!! One question: between the A6400 and the fuji X-T30, what camera would you recommend me for video? (Time limit is no concern for me)
Hi Gerald, great video! love your channel, sorry for my english (watching from Buenos Aires) haha,
Thank you so much! Cheers from Canada.
Fantastic, no nonsense, no drama review. Thanks!
Thanks, Paula!
you're the best reviewer on YT, Gerald. A+ information-
Thanks a lot, John! Very much appreciated.
Awesome review! Subscribed! Cheers mate!
Thanks so much! Always happy to have a new subscriber.
Wow..! That was a very nice and detailed review.
Gerald, you have nailed it once again. Awesome comparison.
Thanks a lot!
nice review, I hope u can also compare the skin tone rendered by these 2 cameras
That was a great review! You are thorough. Really.
Thank you very much! 😃🙏
Love the vid, one reason the fuji raw files might be darker is if the dynamic range is set to anything other than 100% most image editing softwares won't take into consideration that the image is stopped down.
Wow. Impressive your comparison. Followed.
Great Video, best YT-channel!
Concerning the usb c and hdmi at same time issue, do the ports work at the same time in theory? Thinking you could either find a super low profile cable or cut the plastic off the ends with a knife. This is the main thing preventing me from getting the xt30 because i’d like to plug it in while shooting green screen.
Yea, video was informative and entertaining. You were thorough yet to the point. Allow me to echo the previous comment, "why dose this guy has only 44k subs."
Thanks, Rick! 😃🙏
Always pleasing to watch your videos, So informative!
Do you think the a6400 would be a nice upgrade for video from something like the Canon 80D ?
Thanks very much! Yeah, I do. You'll see a pretty significant difference going from the 1080p on the 80D to the 4K on the a6400.
Which lens did you use on A6400? Did you try Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS with A6400?
thank you for the effort and the sharing. it is a shame about the ports on the x-t30 not being able to be used all at the same time. BIG design flaw. yes to fuji skin tones, the difference quite noticeable in your posted images. so is the better comparison being the 6400 vs the x-t3 or the a73 vs x-t3? it is wonderful to have some many quality choices. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Nailed the intro,
Next time you should make a video on histograms.
Hi Gerald,
I think the most important video update you could make about this 1 stop difference thing, is to compare the xt30 with the xt3. Then we will know if it’s a sensor or a body issue. 🙂
Love those funny intros 😂 Will probably come up with some for you :D
I’ve heard that the xt-30 overheats with video recording... any solution to that?
The best comparison video I've watched. And I've watched all of them
Thanks so much! That's very kind.
another great video.. Do you have any thoughts on the "improved colors" of the 6400, now being comparable to the A7iii and newer A series Sonys. Which do you prefer color wise. Is the difference not that big of a deal to you. I have an A7iii and an XT20 I really like the Sony colors. Thanks for all you do GREAT channel man. Awesome!
The a6400 matches the a7 III pretty closely and I'm a fan of the a7 III, so for me, it looks great. Fuji looks good too. I suppose I prefer the Sony colours a touch more, but that's mostly subjective.
this video got you a sub... thanks alot for the info...
Thank you so much, I haven’t watched it yet but as soon as I can I’m going to.
Winner: a6400!! Thanks so much!
how do you recomend sigma 16mm on A6400 if i do have kitlens of 16-55mm? im afraid that it will be less diff.
Love how red the skin is on the side by side for the sony
Such a great reviewer, u deserve more subs
Thanks so much! 😃🙏
Wow. Great review! Really made me reconsider the Sony a6400!
The sensor will always be noisier at elevated temperatures! Thanks again for a superb review. Jay
Question for Someone with knowledge of vid and photo and lenses between the Fuji xt3 and a6400 is one system better or more future seeing that lenses come first and the body is just for the time. Also which one of the 2 would you suggest for a hybrid user. Thanks in advance.
Thanks Gerald, nice video, one question does the sony 6400 have 1/8000 mode or is the same as xt30 1/4000?
I'm pretty sure the Sony is 1/4000 as well.
I definitely don’t find a problem with shooting for short periods of time 5-10 minute time caps. Really helps u set ur shot I mostly use my small rx100v 4K capped to 5minutes. With that said the xt30 shouldn’t have a time limit on 1080p lol that’s trash. With that alone I think the a6400 takes a win
Excellent work. New subscriber for sure. Reviews like this just beg the question for me....when will the perfect camera appear? Yeah right. That output demonstration alone should get some Fujifilm engineers demoted. My God is that horrible. I have to give you that one. It’s not an average catch! Kudos.
This is what ive been waiting for
No BS review! Top stuff Gerald! Just subscribed 👊🏼
Thanks a lot! Glad to have a new subscriber!
@@geraldundone Sure thing!
Also: Fuji film simulations make for fast footage :)
Great points on the overall differences of the xt30 and 6400. However, I would like to add a few more points on the xt30 that might be a big plus compared to the a6400. 1. I believe that the xt30 can record 10 bit 4.2.2 externally. I thought this is a big feature as a b cam for when colour grading a footage as it gives you more flexibility in the post. 2. At least you can use an adapter on the usb c to connect headphones while in the a6400 for audio monitoring. As for the space being too tight on the inputs, is it possible to use the slim 2.5 mm to 3.5mm adapters for the mic input.
1. This is big feature for future proofing.
2. I think you can buy usb-c earbuds and it should work
awesome video, thanks.
Hi Gerald, I was waiting for it thanks! I still have a doubt and wondering, do you think the Fuji will bring more soul to the Picts and video ? or it is possible to achieve the same color results after grading on both camera ? Many thanks, going to the store today, I need to choose ! :)
You can match them in post without much effort. I wouldn't worry about colours too much unless you're shooting JPEGs.
@@geraldundone Thank you Gerald, I think I'm gonna move for Fuji because they have a nice offer on lens in Europe, could grab a 56 1.2, should be better than sigma. And also Fuji because it will be easier to post pict more often without grading it (indeed in jpg :) Also the sony will be available later than the Fuji in French stores :)
@Foto4Max Thanks for your comment :) With current Fuji offer, I can have 35 f2, 16mm 1.4 & the 56 1.2 in ADP Version for 360€ more than the 3 Sigma lens. I'm gonna jump into the fuji ship also because it's not a lot more money and because I really like the idea to do more pict & less grading computer time :)
@Foto4Max Also you're right, it's less sharp but maybe it give the more cinematic look and soul you can check this video here czcams.com/video/NhSlRVToXp4/video.html&feature=em-comments. ;)
So what is the best pro-sumer camera for colour grading? I'm talking about cameras in the mirrorless camera/DSLR style cameras. GH5, XT2, Sony A series,Canon 5D mark 3/4 etc etc etc
Can you do a XT2 vs XT30 video?
I like your room setup with the blue behind you and the orange lights on the side
Thanks! 🙏😃
Is X-T30 a better option if using for photography only?
Which one for 4K online streaming? Will the Fuji overheat/shut down?
a very legit comparison, no bloat, to the point.... thanks!
Very good video. I've been looking for a compact alternative to my DSLR to use primarily for street photography and was comparing these two options. Everyone makes the video comparison, but yours had the best stills comparison. Nice, punchy and to the point. Thank you.
Thanks, Robert! Appreciate that. Glad to be helpful. Cheers!
Short But Good vedio I thought 💭 you from England 🇬🇧 not from Canada 🇨🇦. Anyway nice to see your video again .. do you have video about Sigma 45mm for sony
