Technically, the Sony far outperforms the Fuji. I shot Sony for a while, on a semi-pro basis, had a full lineup of G Master lenses, and if you want clean, clinically sharp images and unbelievable autofocus, that’s the way to go. But I sold the whole bunch and went back to Fuji. Nowadays I mostly use

Thanks mate, Yes I’m not sure if it’s the bigger pixels of the a7cii or Sony in general but these files behave nicely when pushed in post.

So as someone who’s owned the A7iii, A7iv & Fx30; as well as I currently own the A7S iii, Fx3 & I just picked up the Fx2 I would say the Fx2 is a really good starter. It’s essentially an A7iv or A7C ii in a cinema line body. Truthfully I don’t shoot 4k 120 often and I do a lot of commercial and docu

What do you mean you say you’re looking to upgrade? Are you finding that your gear is limiting what you are able to capture? Or are you just looking for something new? I’m totally over the moon with the OM-3, but when it came time to take family Easter pictures, I went back to the Sony full frame be

I think you’ve never used Sony AF. It doesn’t behave as you say, it literally predicts where you want to focus, it doesn’t switch it over to the persons ear. I have a Sony A7C II and a Nikon ZF. The Nikon is very good at AF (especially compared to something like my Fujifilm X-T50), but the Sony is m

Thanks a lot! These are all shot with Sigma 28-70 f/2.8 on a Sony A7C II. I absolutely love that setup

Why do you need such great ibis for that use case? I switched from Fuji/sony to Nikon, but I’d probably pick a Sony A7C II or an Fujifilm X-T5 for your use case. The Nikon is much heavier.

That body looks nice. Nikon really needs something that is a mix of a Sony A7C ii body and A7Siii capabilities.

Sony A7cII is my choice of the 3 for what you are looking for. Fuji autofocus is not good. So not good I sold all my Fuji gear because with each update it got worse. My experience. Lumix doesn't have an electronic shutter, no hot shoe, and no evf (I don't care about this really but the other 2 optio

I used both and now have sony a7cii + lumix s9 Do you do pro videography? If not, 8 bit is more than fine and I'd tell you to go for the a7c The s5 is a major downgrade in AF, the s9 AF is still worse than the sony (but good overall) but the build quality feels super cheap and then as you said, no e
