Hello /p/, I plan on going backpacking for a couple months around the middle east and Africa and usually I would take my film camera but as I want to take videos I have decided to buy a mirrorless.

I was just about to buy a second hand Fuji X-t3 which looked perfect for my needs and price point but then found out it doesn't have in built stabilisation which isn't good if I want to make little films especially as I won't have space to lug around extra gear like tripods and stuff. So I would like to know what might be a better option around the same price?

Fuji’s autofocus can’t hit a barn door and it’s overpriced

If your budget permits I would go full frame Nikon or Sony

Alternatives are apsc Nikon or Sony

No thanks that looks like a very effeminate camera. Also I prefer the colours on the Fuji.

Won't this limit me to just zoom lenses though?

Now that I think about it is IBIS just autism? Because most cameras historically have not had it so is it actually necessary?

I've never owned a camera which has had the feature before

A sony. Preferably an a7c, since it's the first "new" one with the improved pentax-grade weather sealing and better canon-like color science.

Sony water and dust protection is now better than fujifilms. Significantly. It went from as good as fuji (works sometimes on flagships, also fails sometimes) to as good as pentax (takes saltwater splashes to fail) for models after the a7iii/a7riii.

nah, for FF nikon is goat. but FF is just too large and heavy to casually carry along in my fanny pack. the OM-5 has this fun snapshooter feeling to it.
my z6ii is on toddler duty with a fast prime. produces absolutely beautiful images - even in shitty lighting conditions. my OM-5 is the one I carry around with me
not wanna lie - at some point in time I will dabble in fuji G or go full retard and get a proper medium format and some older digital back. but for now I'm happy with om-5 and z6ii

A vote for Olympus. You're right in the niche. How much weight are you willing to carry? I'd recommend a E-M5ii or higher with:
14-150mm (WR)
45mm f/1.8 (non-WR)
for a light kit.
A heavier kit might be:
12-100mm f/4 (WR, stabilized, better IQ)
17mm f/1.2 (super sharp and fast)
45mm f/1.8 (non-WR but tiny and great for portraits)
You have tons of options. Why Olympus?
- First rate weather sealing
- Small lenses that you won't mind whipping out when tired from hiking
- Amazing stabilization means you won't have to swap lenses in low light. Slow lenses don't really matter unless they are telephoto, or you need bokeh (and even then you can work around it with one of the tiny f/1.8 lenses)
Camera brands are stupidly divisive here. The truth is you'd be happy with most brands. I'd take a short trip with your setup when it arrives so you know if it's working for you or if you should return it. A camera might be comfy at home but hell on a trip.

Do not EVER think that you are in the bracket of respectable white men. You are a little turd not worthy of the sun.

Where Christ led his disciples and spoke his sermons. Where empires have risen and fallen like sand castles. While you petulant little worm will only seethe in your cum soaked chair at the image quality of my photos on /rpt/ shot on my Fuji X-t3.

Sigma fp. Full frame is a small body that puts modern m43 bodies to shame. Alternatively that new Panasonic S9, doesn’t make much sense for a professional which is how reviewers judged it,, but makes a lot more sense as a daily snapper or a travel camera.
Panasonic 28-200mm if you want a super zoom, and keep the Sigma 45mm and either 24mm or 17mm, for when you want wide and bright, or just the two primes on their own if you don’t care about zoom.
I’m waiting for that 18-40mm, would make a good alternative to the 28-200 for travel. They might compliment each other (keep the 18-40 on most of the time, keep the 28-200mm in the bag for when you want more zoom).

IBIS is really nice to have. I personally don't own a camera with IBIS but I do have a lens with OIS and it's extremely helpful for getting rid of camera shake in lower light conditions.

You can easily do without but seeing modern bodies have IBIS implemented without being significantly fatter (or hardly bigger at all) it is definitely something you should look out for when buying a new camera.
>>
IBIS is great for videos. I don't really shoot videos, but on my a7iii (with GM lens), I was testing out a moving video and I couldn't believe how smooth it was, almost like it was on a gimble.

Just because a method requires a little more effort doesn't mean it is obsolete. In fact in many instances it may even be more beneficial. I hardly doubt we will be saying in 100 years time how IBIS is second only to the wheel or steam engine in its usefulness to mankind.

Thanks for your input and offering actual experiences.

I would like in built stabilisation but I just don't want to spend loads of money on a camera and Fuji X-t3 is about as much as I'm willing to spend so I think I will just get that and stick with lenses which have OIS.
>>
>>4358904
Fuji only has a few zoom lenses with OIS. It's no use only buying OIS lenses for Fooj since that way you're skipping out on like all the good stuff.

Either look for an X-S10 (don't, X-T3 is better) or accept you won't have stabilization.
XF18-55mm f2.8-4 has OIS and can be bought for pennies second hand since it was the default kitlens for ages.
>>
>>4358904
I don't have knowledge of Fuji, but just of Sony. I know with Sony, if the camera doesn't have it, some lenses will have it so you're good there - it's either or. I assume it's the same with Fuji, just ensure the lens has OIS like you said.
>>
>>4358906
Fuji only has like 4 zoom lenses with OIS and most of them cover the same range.

What cameras had IBIS in 2012 (when Honeycomb aired) that looked like that? Maybe they meant lens stabilization, but the phrasing makes it sound like it's the camera. Sony made DSLRs with IBIS then, as did Pentax, and MFT had IBIS too but I guess that's it.

Fuji sensors underperform 4/3 unless you insist on shooting jpeg or spend big for “40 megapixels” (more like marketingpixels, for tldr imaging theory reasons, the results look a lot like a 20 or 25mp camera even if you zoom in 400%)

No reason to pick low res fuji over m43 unless you refuse to shoot raw for neurotic reasons. 4/3 needs a more talented man at the wheel, fuji is more compatible with point and click for b&w blurry backs of heads and people that take 500 snapshits a day

>>
File: fax.png (1.5 MB, 1148x1199)
1.5 MB
1.5 MB PNG
20mp and 25mp MFT are effectively as good as "40mp" xtrans APS-C at everything but computer generated noise charts, because of xtrans. On the most academic level only 25mp should be close but not exact, but if not pixel peeping at 10x zoom the most academic level doesn't exist. Compared to lower end xtrans cameras that don't have the 40mp meme, 20mp MFT blows past it.

Monochrome and foveon sensors are 50% higher resolution than bayer sensors.
2x2 RGBG and RGBW bayer sensors are 50% higher resolution than xtrans sensors and 100% higher resolution than quad bayer sensors (quad bayer cameras like sony a7siii actually have more megapixels than they say, but they're grouped in 2x2 blocks of each color instead of 2x2 blocks of all 3 colors`)

When you have more megapixels and a larger image, you don't necessary have more details. Megapixels are image size, what resolution they communicate is a complex technical subject that would require essays about color pairs and line directions to explain. You can see how fuji loses detail resolution and has color resolution issues here:
https://petapixel.com/2017/01/27/x-trans-promise-problem/

It's just a fact of digital gain structure. Except for foveon and monochrome, which work more like film, megapixels aren't a direct statement of resolution. The actual resolution varies wildly depending on the color of what you are photographing and how it lines up with the blocks because each pixel is only one color and the computer is guessing at the other 2.

All of this is assuming you will actually use your megapixels. The print size equivalent of viewing crops on dpreview is massive - several feet wide. If you are not going to print several feet wide, every camera will look identical once you process your images properly and you're just wasting money spending more for supposed image quality

Once processed just with ACRs default sharpening and noise reduction at a high ISO, all of these cameras basically look the fucking same even while pixel peeping.

>it doesn't have in built stabilisation which isn't good if I want to make little films especially as I won't have space to lug around extra gear like tripods and stuff.
Canon IBIS gives you gimbal like results when holding still and doing slow pans. It's fucking amazing. R6ii + whatever lenses you think you'll want (depends on what you'll be shooting and your budget).
>inb4 ultra wide angle corner wobble
Any IBIS system that doesn't do this isn't worth shit otherwise because the IBIS isn't moving the sensor enough to arrest shake. 35mm is solid. 24mm can show a little wobble when holding still, but solid with a slow pan. The only real problem is 16mm when doing a selfie.

>actually, if only you would spend 3x more on lenses, you could pixel peep harder
The x100vi doesnt use a premium lens, and dpreviews test shots for the xt5 and xh2 use a nice lens. Xtrans was literally designed to soften the image bro.
