Another top notch series of videos. I enjoyed watching them.
That is the nicest thing you could say - thanks, appreciated.
As always, a big thumbs up for you. Not only are your videos super informative, but I always enjoy listening to your crystal clear English. Keep up the excellent job!
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for commenting.
As usual, a great detailed stuff beautifully presented!
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for allllll the details!!! It helps a lot :)
I do appreciate it when a viewer lets me know a video is useful, thank you!
Such a detailed comparison! So thoughtful of you. As I always say no one reviews like you do Mr. Heilbron. Thanks again.
That's very kind of you to comment, thanks for taking the time.

Great review outstanding maartin... thenks...
Always nice to know my content is appreciated, thanks.
Wow!...Outstanding! Thank you ever so much, Maarten! Don't forget your Fujifilm E-Book would be a great seller!
I gratefully appreciate your kind words, and your encouragement.
Probably the best camera reviewer on CZcams
Thanks for your rating, appreciated.
What a detailed comparison! Thanks a lot. It‘s still a complicated choice. I prefer the Sony‘s form factor because of its better grip but I wish it would get the first-class compact APS-C lenses Fuji makes. I’m still a bit overwhelmed with the huge feature-sets of both compared to my Canon 100D.
I appreciate the kind words, and your thoughts about these two cameras.
Thanks Maarten...every time better !!! To be is to shoot or to shoot is to be , thats the question
A pleasure to read your kind and humorous words, thanks.
Thanks Maarten. Another great video! One question. When doing the tulip iso comparisons (around 16:15 of your video), does it appear that the purple tulip is much sharper or better focused for the Sony a6400 than with the Fuji X-T30? I have a Fuji X-T30, and my only concern with it is that in some pictures, the subject I was focusing on doesn't seem sharp or in focus, which is what it looks like with your tulips. I'm trying to improve my photography skills because when I posted about this on a Fuji forum, the consensus was that it was user error, but it appears that at least for your tulip photos, you're seeing the same thing. I'm not however seeing this same issue when you had the side by side pictures of the doll testing the color profiles of the two cameras around the 21 min mark (they both look equally sharp). Any thoughts? Thanks!
I believe the issue is the JPEG conversion, at higher ISOs the Fujifilm seems to be a little more mushy than Sony. The doll photos are lower ISOs.
thanks allot for the review
Always my pleasure, thanks for commenting.
Brilliant. Thanks!
A pleasure to read your kind words, thank you.
You really make the best camera reviews on utube!
Thanks! Great to read your kind words.
Thank you!
Always nice to know that viewers appreciate my videos. Thanks
@Maarten Heilbron: An excellent comparison that has deserved far more attention, viewers and likes. Thank you for your great work, please keep it up. The least thing I could do in return for such great work is a subscription. (No "thank you" required, the pleasure is all mine.)
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment (and subscribe).
Do you think shutter speed is enough to chose between the two? I do shoot alot portraits in mid daylight (panasonic Gx8), but i am afraid of the sony a6400 limit sutter of 1/4000. Thanks for the great video.
You'd have to be doing some pretty extreme work to feel that 1/4000 is a limitation. Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you very much for your comparison!
Which Fuji lenses can you recommend for the street and landscape photography?
Either of the 23mm primes would be good choices in my view.
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks!
Excellent video
That was a very kind comment, thank you very much!!
@@MaartenHeilbron hi , I hope you can review the upcoming XT30 mark 2 soon , cause I’m considering it, but I currently using the a6400 s as ms the Sony A7C. Both are very good cam, but the Fujifilm is unique. Thanks 🙏
@@frankiehobby Minor differences really, it's better.
thank you for your great work. Although I really wonder which lenses series are better. Can you give me you thought about the sony (including 3rd party for sony) and fuji lenses series. I would like to do night photography, street photography, travel photography and video.
Thanks for the kind words. If you have the money, Sony's G Master lenses are superior. I have not done detailed comparisons of lenses - but there are other sites, like dxomark and dpreview that do.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you for your suggesion. However, I can't find any comparison between the Fuji lenses series and the Sony. I guess it just weird when you try to compare lenses that doesn't match up. But for me, it is really important because then it help me decide on which camera system I should invest in. Therefore, I hope you can soon give out a lenses comparison series. Thank you
@@samducdao2019 I appreicate teh request, but I really don't have the equipment to provide that kind of analysis.
I wish I could upvote this video 5 times for the index in the description. You're doing god's work Sir.
You are very kind, thanks for your comments and your support.
Hi Maarten - a wealth of information... Still not clear in my mind (such as it is) as to whether or not silent shutter, i.e. electronic shutters, is available for all shutters speeds on the X-T30. Currently own the Sony A6400 and find the silent shutter extremely useful when shooting on the street.. Am considering changing systems so this would be a very important feature..
Thanks for the kind words. According to the manual, the limitation is ISO 160-12,800. The screen shows the limitations for shutter speeds - but they are the extremes.
Hey....loved the video....I have one query...I wanted to buy a new camera... would you recommend a6400+ all 3 sigma f1.4 lenses....or the a7iii+kit lens or a7iii+28f2 lens? Please..it will be really helpful
Thanks for your kind words, appreciated. I'm not sure what your plans are, but for video the A6400 with the sigma lenses would be my choice.
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks alot for replying...I should have mentioned...I usually click for DJs or pubs... little bit of portraits and Street photography too.....and make videos here and there....what would you recommend?
@@namitsharma96 That's probably a good choice for those situations. Prime lenses are best for portraits and street.
Hi Maarten, I'd like to ask you a couple of questions concerning Sony a6400 (and other Sony Alpha cameras).
Are there any downsides to set DRO AUTO ON every time? I've seen there are many differences in dynamic range between DRO ON ad OFF. I set DRO AUTO ON both on Alpha 7R3 and on 6400 and when I develop raw files shot in studio or outdoor I can’t see any problems, even when scenarios are demanding. So, is there a reason to set DRO AUTO OFF?
The second question maybe is related to the first one: I set clipping light alert on “100+” but often the blinking alert does not match with the histogram. After some tests I’ve seen that the histogram “says” the truth: if the lights are not clipped in the histogram they are not clipped in the RAW too. I’ve been working as a professional for about 10 years but I switched to Sony a few months ago and this is the first time I observe this behaviour in a camera. Is it possible that the 100+ clipping alert and the histogram representation show a different situation because DRO AUTO is set ON?
Thank you in advance. Sorry if I have gone on too long.
ps: Thank you for another great video.
Thanks for your kind words.
The DRO settings do not affect the RAW files, these are adjustments made in processing the JPEG.
I'm not sure that the 100+ zebra is useful for stills, which have a wider dynamic range than the 100 IRE units allowed for pro broadcast video production. I would agree with your plan to refer to the histogram. I don't think that the DRO setting affects the histogram, but I haven't tried to determine this.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you very much. I think I have to study (more) in depth Sony system. Image quality is very good, but I am doubtful about some procedures and settings. DRO was one of these. Thanks again.
Always happy to help.
Receiving my a6400 today ;-) Just couldn't resist it due to that price and me wanting a better/smaller backup/second camera. I actually had bought a used X-Pro 2 to be my second camera, but the sensor has a problem so I had to send it back. After I started doing more research I realized I could get the a6400 BRAND NEW for slightly less than the used Fuji/lens combo and of course the a6400 is far more advanced and future-proofed than the older Fuji. As far as the X-T 30 goes, I looked at that also but just couldn't do it. I guess in some ways I have a love/hate relationship with Fuji. I love the look of their hardware and the easy JPGs but I still don't like the X-Trans files compared to the files from a sensor with the normal bayer filter on it.
Thanks for sharing your adventures, always interesting to know why decisions are made.
thank you
Always nice to know my videos are appreciated.
Thank you so much for your detailed video.
My shortlisted cameras are Canon EOS M50 and Fujifilm X-T30. Could you please guide which to choose among these two?
I'm not at all sure what your needs or preferences are, but my choice would be the X-T30.
Canon m50 is mush. Trust me. I made that costly mistake
@@imnguyen6658 Please explain why we should trust you.
It was a figure of saying which was intended to mean do your research carefully.
@@imnguyen6658 Oh. I suggest you choose your words more carefully next time.
Hola martin! (Marteen for your spanish speaking followers :-) So, since I'm only into photography and not video and I want to have a second camera other than my 6400, I want to know if I can use the Sigma Lenses trio ( E mount) with the XT-30 with an adapter. Is this a viable option? will I lose something if I do in terms of quality ? Gracias!! and please, never ever drop the camera on the rowing videos, that makes me super nervous!! LOL greetings from Miami!
I'm pretty sure my name is Maarten in all languages.
The tension about the camera in a canoe is intentional, as it keeps you watching - like waiting for a car crash in a Nascar race.
I've not used any adapter from e-mount to x-mount, so can't say. The worst case scenario is that it turns it into a fully manual lens, but quality should remain the same, as long as there's no glass in the adaptor.
Please do say hello to all my friends in Miami.
Maarten Heilbron latest in the topic : there are no adapters. No surprise there. I’m adding the XT 30 and 6400 to be a lovely couple and ... the “Martín” name was a way of saying your Spanish speaking friends really appreciate you !
Which one do you think would be more newbie friendly? I mostly am looking to take street pictures and animals of my pets (not in motion).
Both are very friendly to novices. And good for those purposes.
like bob ross but for photography. AMazing Thanks Maarten!
Always nice to read kind words from my viewers. Thanks very much.
Hi,
6400 or xt30 for indoor video recordings and short films! what would you choose?
Edit: or Canon M6 mII :)
Thank you very much.
I suggest you also watch part two which is about video: czcams.com/video/ghep_DMKcv0/video.html.
I would recommend that A6400 as it's less likely to overheat.
I prefer sony and I've a sony SLT A57 too.can you please tell which is better for indore outdoor still photography A6400 or XT 30
Both are very good cameras, and in the hands of a patient and skilled photographer will provide equally good results.
i have question about long exposure .how can I extend time above 30 sec .bulb mode on sony camera?
do I need to keep pressing button or is any app for extend timer.
I want to take sharp long exposure pictures but is impossible to get one while you pressing shutter buton.
cheers
You can use the Sony remote app with a smart phone, as well as several third party shutter release devices.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you very much for help.
Always happy to help.
Wat camera should I buy for mainly taking pictures, a6400 or the x-t30? Which camera has the best lenses for a decent price (I don't want to pay 800 just for one lens, I'm not a photographer but I really love taking pictures and I want to invest in one of these models)?
I had hoped to provide the information you needed in this video - beyond that, I don't know enough about you and what you intend to do to pick one for you.
@@MaartenHeilbron let me ask it in a different way. Which camera you would choose if you had the ability to pick only one for the next 10 years if you're main interest is taking pictures and you have to watch your budget.
I would choose based on aesthetics - I like the look of the X-T30.
Regarding the kits that you linked to.
From what I'm told the 18-55 Fuji kit lens is significantly better than the Sony 16-50mm.
Is there a lens from say Sigma or Tamron, or even Sony themselves as an upgrade that would be better competition for the 18-55 Fuji lens without going to much beyone the Fuji package price?
Maybe. There's the Tamron 17-70 (I recently reviewed the Fujifilm version). I use the Sony/Zeiss 16-70F4.
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks. Appreciate the response and advice.
Great review! Xt30 captured way more dynamic range.
Thanks for the kind words. How did you come to this conclusion?
@@MaartenHeilbron Hi, you are welcome in some test i saw fuji controlled bright areas well and it got more information compared to sony aps-c cameras. I like the eterna film simulation. Its the most natural look.
@@MaartenHeilbron and i have a question sir, I m going to buy xt30 with kit lens(18-55) and a zoom lens. Im thinking about to buy 100-400 with a teleconverter. Could you test 1.4x or 2x teleconverters? I want to know is there a quality and sharpness loss. Thanks
@@ozancelikigne I've found that my viewers are not very interested in reviews of those kinds of products and accessories, so I prefer to concentrate on cameras.
How about the record limit both of the camera?
All video features are detailed in part two.
The best in the business
How very kind of you to say, thanks for commenting.
Great review,can you tell me which one is good for music video shooting?
Both. I thought these videos would help you decide.
@@MaartenHeilbron still not sure,hahahha ,please suggest me.
@@shahrinshahriar4836 Both are fine.
Mine is a systems solution. Batteries and lenses said the a6400 was it. I wanted the Fujifilm but it was too much of a hassle to integrate in my system. But starting over maybe, but most likely the Sony was going to be it. I like the Bayer Sensor for my workflow.
Thanks for adding your thoughts. Please explain how a Bayer sensor impacts your workflow?
Should I get A6400 or the X-T30? I will be mainly shooting street photography, b-roll videos. And which camera has better lens selection? Thank you.
Sony likely has the better lens selection - both Sony and third party brands. As for your decision, you'll have to make that yourself. I thought I'd provided all the details you might need to assist in the process.
Alright thank you for the information!
@@Lawrence39350 Always happy to help.
8:46 minor goof, showing the Sony on the right as the X-T30. Wonderful video anyways.
Wow! Thanks for spotting. Sorry about that.
hello sir.
which one would be better choice for video recording between fujifilm xa7 and Sony a6000
I would choose the Sony A6000, but be aware that it has limitations compared to the newer A6100, which is a better choice.
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks sir i was also thinking same.if you dont mind just one last question as i just got deal.m50 ,m200 ,or sony a7ii.
@@honeybling5228 For video, any A7 camera.
My brother got Sony 6400 for the videos. Yet to see what's the quallity of it will be
Keep us posted.
Hi! Would you really recommend xt30 or a6400 to a short film maker for its video features usability?
Hard call. Do you have an external monitor? How much colour grading do you plan to do? Which lenses would you buy?
@@MaartenHeilbron no I don't have an external recorder yet. Color grading depends upon how much can be achieved in camera.
I plan to buy 35 f1.4 for Fuji. Sony maybe a similar focal length in sigma.
In that case, the X-T30 is likely the better choice. Better quality in camera recording and the film simulations make for better in camera colour adjustment.
@@MaartenHeilbron can I fit separate camera for stills & film making in the same budget of xt30+35f1.4?
I wouldn't think so.
Hi . Bro pl suggest me which should i buy fuji xt30 vs sony a6400
My priority is completing with a 6400but my biggest priority is the image should be very beautiful. Just like if we click a pic from iPhoneit is very short per and very attractive as compared to the other normal phone.
Similarly I just wanted to know that is a pic click by Fuji camera is lot better than the sony 6400 or is it the same, just a minor difference .
If the differenceis big then I would consider Fuji and if the difference is lil. Fuji is lil better than sony then I would go for soni a6400.
on CZcams Fuji has created a lot of hype of their colour presets .
Pl suggest
Ps. I dont wont to go in post processing work as i am a fresher and dont have lot of knowledge of post processing.
Between these two, the quality is very similar. And both have many colour presets (film simulations on Fujifilm, creative style on Sony) to choose from - as well as many options to adjust those presets to your specific preferences in camera. This video was meant to help you make the choice based on the factors that are important to you.
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks for your review. it really helped me. I have made my mind to buy Fuji xt30.
Can you suggest me that is fuji xt 30 with kitlens 18-135 with f3.5 has equally good blur(bookeh) effect as compared to the other kitlens 18-55 withh f2.8 or is there significantly a high difference in bookeh effect.
@@tusharsharma5237 The 18-55 has substantially better bokeh.
I am gonna get XT 30 tommorow
Why?
@@MaartenHeilbron Because he wants light to bounce off material objects and then enter into a photographic device so that he may reproduce its reflection for later viewing both by himself and others for some sort of internal mechanism that may induce reflection, satisfaction, approval, happiness, titillation ....
@@monsieurhassan I wish I'd thought of that possibility.
@@MaartenHeilbron Just having some fun. God bless.
i am wedding photographer which camera is better for wedding video shoot ?
I had hoped that I'd provided enough information in these videos to enable you to make the right decision.
a6400 or X-T20? which is better?
Both are good cameras, you must decide for yourself which is better for you, based on your needs and intentions.
👌
Thanks for the kind emoji.
Which of the two takes better pictures?
They both take excellent pictures.
@@MaartenHeilbron sony or Fujifilm for photography?
@@salvatoredistefano2602 In the video I did my best to give you the information to help you make the right decision for you. I can't do that.
Is the HD and 4k video quality better in the xt30? Looks like it to me. Also does af lock on as good with Fuji when recording video?
I judge them to be about the same, the difference comes from the selection of colour profiles (film emulation). Yes, both can shoot with a lock on AF and stay with the subject, particularly if a face is identified.
Maarten Heilbron which one has video with better dynamic range on flog.
@@RodolphosTechchannel If all you're looking for is the ultimate dynamic range, Sony has that, using the SLog2 gamma curve - but at a cost, as the image is very noisy, particularly in the blacks. And with a lower bandwidth recording, unless you are using an external recorder.
How much range do you need? What display device are you using? What's its dynamic range? Until we all have HDR2020 sets, you'll have to adjust the range in post to display.
Can i use Sony a6400 for photography as Semi DSLR??
Could you please explain what you mean by “semi dslr”?
@@MaartenHeilbron like Canon 80d, nikon d7200
As I would characterize those as DSLRs, I'm not understanding what you mean by "semi". Or maybe you should just state your original question in a different way. What are you trying to determine? If you are asking if the Sony A6400 is a quality device with full manual controls that can produce high quality images, the answer is "yes".
Maarten Heilbron thank u sir ,
just I need to know that, this model can give professional output or not and obviously as per my experience about Sony cybershot DSC-H300, Sony is best than Canon or Nikon, also I have Canon 6dmark ii just I need some little focus performance for low light condition.
@@jatishpandav Both the A6400 and the X-T30 have all the features needed to produce images that are the equal of any camera with an APSC sensor. Whether the output is professional is in your hands. All of these brands produce a range of cameras, from entry level to the highest quality, capability and durability. If you are looking for better low light performance, try a faster lens. If you are having trouble with focus in low light situations, it's likely a question of familiarity. Try manual focus.
I haven't watched the video yet, but the Fuji does it for me. I love the manual dials and the classic design of the Fujis. Reminds me of my first camera, a Pentax Spotmatic SP II.
Me too, I find that there are several Fujifilm models that just comply with my mental image of what a camera should look like. Please, however, do watch the video.
@@MaartenHeilbron I did, thank you. You manage to put a lot of detail into you reviews, which is very informative.
@@therealjamespickering Thanks for the kind words, appreciated.
Hello. Which one you think is better for travel, street and architecture, family vacation? I'm planning to buy this coming december.
I provided these very detailed videos to help you make the decision.
@@MaartenHeilbron i like the xt30 more but i'm worried because it's not weathersealed.
@@ianpd8850 Unless you are shooting under adverse conditions (a rainstorm) or in extreme environments (the arctic), and as long as you take reasonable precaution, it's not something I'd worry about.

@@ianpd8850 Always nice to know that viewers appreciate my videos, thanks for the kind words.
Hello Maarten "professor"! Can you please give me an advice? I love photography but I dont have a lot of money so what camera you think I should buy. I have 4 options. They're all pack's. A- Nikon D7500 with 18-105 lens. B- Canon 80D with 18-135 f3.5-5.6. C- Sony A7II with 28-70 f3.5-5.6. D- Fujifilm XT30 with 18-55 f2.8-4. or I keept my Canon 700D and buy the lens 24-105 f4. Thank you very much. Cheers José
Keep the Canon, buy the lens.
Maarten Heilbron Thank you very much for your time. Best regards.
Always happy to help.
Do you think selling a Canon 80D to purchase a Sony a6400 is a good movie?
I don't know what you feel is lacking in the 80D, or which features of the A6400 you find particularly appealing, but for as much as I like the A6400, it's likely not a change I'd make.
Maarten Heilbron better lowlight performance, sharper photos, 4K video, 11 frames per second. I did already sell my 80D and bought the a6400. I was just asking your opinion on this subject.
@@TJuice1986 And you also already knew the answer ...
Maarten Heilbron I didn’t know your opinion on it or if you would make a move like that.
@@TJuice1986 indeed for all those reasons and more, to me the a6400 is a much better camera.
Great video btw.. but, believing that your experience in taking photos is great, around 16:10 of your video, is that tulip deliberately out of focus? I doubt that you have done such mistake in comparing high ISO noise of both cameras. It is obvious that the focus is behind the tulip and is on the leaf of the plant. Why you are using the flower to compare it when it is not in focus? Haven't you noticed it? You have taken all that time to record this video, edit and upload on you tube with such big mistake? If i take that fact where the focus is and watch closely i see that the ISO noise and the sharpness of the x-t30 is way better. Be careful, somebody may think that you are favouring the sony camera. ;-)
Thank you for your kind words and your detailed note. I thought it would be easy to find the screen recording to prove (at least to myself) that the focus point was the same, but I apparently was not recording while I took those images.
So, looking at the images I could agree with your assessment, it seems plausible. However, it would never be my intention to any camera unfairly.
@@MaartenHeilbron i want to ask you.. do you find fujifilm iso results better than sony's as i do? I am surprised in those findings. Great quality overall for both video and photography.. this little fujifilm camera is a giant. New fujifilm cameras are coming in February and If price drops little bit this spring, i'll get it for recording videos. Thank you for these reviews.. they are helpful.
@@vaskonakovski6919 I do, but I also feel that the two do not use the same standard. In general Fujifilm's numbers are higher than others to produce the same results.
I like Fuji
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Hey, I am from india. I am a beginner photographer. I am doing photography just for my hobby. Now I had planned to upgrade by camera from smartphone to a digital camera. But, I am struggling in finding a perfect camera for me. I have shortlisted five cameras for me. Please suggest one winner from the list.
1. Sony alpha a6400
2. Fujifilms X-T30
3. Nikon D7500
4. Nikon Z50
I have shortlisted these camera's because they comes in my budget range of about $838 to $1188
Note- I don't care about the videography at all. Please pick the winner only from photography prospective.
I'd take the X-T30 or the Z50. Let your hand and your heart decide.
May I know the reason why you not choose sony alpha a6400 and nikon d7500
All are, as you have probably already found, very good choices. You asked me to choose one.
Man, you gotta be an engineer to use some of these cams these days. What happened to when you used to put the film in and pull the lever.
In fact, although the menus are complex and the capabilities far exceed the needs of most photographers, in reality cameras are much, much easier.
Auto-exposure, including AutoISO with manual aperture AND shutter, autofocus, auto white balance ... I could go on. And nearly all cameras have a full auto mode, with scene detection that makes it easy for anyone to take great photos.
You have higher quality images than ever at lower cost per image than ever. These are the best of times for photography.
Beter photography
Sony 6400 vs Fujifilm xt30
I was hoping that providing this detailed comparison would help you make the decision. In terms of quality, they are approximately equal. For operation and features, I leave that to your personal preferences.
If you want something cute, get the xt30 and if you want photos in focus, get the sony.
That's unfair - I think I gave some pretty good examples in the video that demonstrate Fujifilm's focus is the equal and in some cases better than the Sony.
@@MaartenHeilbron I second that statement since I've missed hardly any shots owing to slow or bad AF in my X-T20. I'd choose the Fujifilm X-T30 over the Sony A6400 or any other Sony APS-C camera any day of the week.
@@EricMustardman Thanks for additional comment on this question, appreciated.
CZcamsr Camera Conspiracies has already concluded that none of these cameras are perfect....we are still waiting for it to arrive. A bit like waiting for Godo or Jesus. ;-) will never arrive.

@@MaartenHeilbron I was only joking. You did an amazing review and comparison. Well done Sir!
Yes, I understood that, but thanks for clarifying. Sorry to always be so serious.
