Sold all my camera gear (Fuji apsc) some years ago. Now I wanna get back into photography. Just as a hobby, not professional but I still want high quality. I do lots of weekend trips and traveling with family so I don't want a huge camera with big zoom lenses. Probably one or two prime lenses are enough for me. Being familiar with Fuji the new X100VI looks very good to me. My prefered focal length, good viewfinder, etc. I know it's not available now but lets ignore that fact for now. But then I was thinking why not going full frame this time. Back then it was too expensive but now it seems very reasonable. The Sony A7CII doesn't look much bigger than the Fuji and is in a similar price category. But the last time I tested a Sony (I believe it was the A7III) I really disliked it.. felt more like a computer than a fun camera. For me the overall experience when taking photos takes a big part of it. Anyone here who has experience with both cams that could give me a suggestion?[EXIF data available.

>>4360388I have the A7CII and it's good. But if you're just going to shoot at 35mm, then get the Fuji. There are no small (and good) 35mm lenses for Sony E mount.
Fuji x-e4 or take the leica pill if you need dat optical viewfinder.
>>4360389I think the Sigma 35mm f2 looks good but it gets bulky. I wonder how the 35mm 2.8 Zeiss with full frame compares to the X100VI image quality>>4360390The x-e4 looks nice but sadly not available anymore. Only used market but could be fine too. Not gonna spend thousands on a digital Leica that could die at any moment
See if you can find a camera store that has both in stock, ask to molest them, buy whichever you have the hardest time picking down? (Dunno if that's actually good advice, but it's how I plan to choose between two cameras once the next paycheck arrives.) Both seem to be fundamentally competent cameras, so it should mostly just be down to your subjective valuation of their shooting experiences and versatility. And of course given the X100VI supply situation you might end up having to compare it to the A7V or A7CIII in the end...
>>4360392>Not gonna spend thousands on a digital Leica that could die at any moment>idiot asking paragraphs of basic gear question about [BIG BRAND] and [BIG BRAND]>doesnt understand photography enough to know what type of camera to buy for his needs>oh but not a leica because I KNOW of all the issues and it can failshills are changing up their strategy on here

>>4360405you should post some photos you took with the q3
>>4360389The worst korean 35mm on sony is still better than the blurry x100 lens>inb4 durrr not weather sealneither is any fuji>>4360390consoom!
>>4360405>Talking about optical viewfinders>Brings up Q3Reading comprehension level: housecat
>>4360405Leica cameras are so failure prone. You cant really buy anything but an m11 without expecting something potentially unusable. That fits with their blurry ass optics that look like ttartisan lenses but cost $5k. Truly a brand for the consoomer. Ego defined with money. Credit card never paid off.
>>4360411There is no difference in reliability between the Q and the M models. Germans don't know how to build electronics. That said, their product design is still the best. Leica (digital) bodies feel and look great while Japanese cameras are ALL ugly without exceptions.
>>4360418Design by smart people (japan) vs design by dumb people (the caliphate of germany)
>>4360418>Anecdotes>Strawman arguments>Im good at arguing
>>4360389This. If youre strictly after a 35mm in a compact form factor then just get the X100VI. Sony has no good compact 35mm lens. Ignore the schizo cope, the X100VI absolutely mogs the Sony as an EDC camera.
>>4360434>Sony has no good compact 35mm lensThe samyang 35 is actually sharper than the x100vi lens and is slightly shorter than the nikon 26mm pancake if it has its mandatory filter thread/focusing column guard hood attached.And ironically, you just posted the single worst 35mm available for sony.>bigger than the 40mm f2.5>optically worse for a fractional stop of lightAn FF camera will never be as small as one that doesn't even have a lens mount and has its fly by wire focus and aperture shit integrated into the face of the camera, but saying it doesn't have compact 35mms is just a lie. You do have to go a bit big and buy a newer sony G lens to get full weather sealing, but x100 cameras aren't fully weather sealed themselves. You're meant to hide it under your coat if it might be exposed to constant water.
>>4360438Zony and Samyang 35mm are trash and still bigger. There is no 35mm G (and the G's are even bigger). Sorry, anon.
Not anon but in a similar situation. Narrowed down to the two options:A):>Fuji X100VI as EDC>used GFX50sII with kit lens for best IQ>add gf80mm later for mmmboookehorB)>A7CR>1 compact prime as EDC>2 more GM primesPrice would be the around the same. My inteligent brain tells me to get the Sony and call it a day. Fullframe, best AF, great video if needed, .. But my heart wants the Fujis.
>>4360440Gearfags are impossible to please>Sony and samyang are optically better lenses with faster, quieter autofocus and the same build quality>BUT THEY STILL SUCK I WANT A WEATHER SEALED 20MM LONG G MASTER 35MM F2.8! Let me guess, you need more? People like you should have your camera confiscated until you can git gud with a canon s95.i'll gladly take a lens being a few mm longer for the ability to replace it to clean the sensor, replace or repair a damaged or fungus/dirt filled lens, or just use a different lens and do something other than boring street photography with a perspective that is inherently stodgy and autistic compared to more based lenses like 24mm and 21mm. all of this affects photography in the long term - getting dirt off your sensor, making your camera setup last longer, being able to switch to a zoom for a paid shoot or change your mind about focal lengths without buying a new $2000 camera.... the mtf chart not being better enough for you only affects your arguments in dpreviews comment section>>4360443your intelligent brain should be asking you wtf you are going to do with 61 megapixelshow bad are you at photography to have to crop that deep, or are you actually a professional shooting portraits for sports teams and production companies
>>4360388Get a Nikon, or an a6700
>>4360444>wtf you are going to do with 61 megapixelscrop indeed. The longest lens would probably be the 50mm 1.4 GM and I could crop the shit out of it.
>>4360388Just buy the X100. The difference between full frame and apsc is minute, you've stated you don't need too many lenses and you sound like you just want a camera that "Just Werks" and the X100 is a perfect high end point and shoot solution. It takes great stills, has fun film recipies to fuck around with, the viewfinder is cool and fun, and has nice quality of life features like a built in nd filter.If you feel like you'd want more than just 40mm then buy an a7c ii or a7iv and knock yourself out. If you want an ILC thats like the X100 you could also get a X-pro1/2/3 or X-e4 and a 27mm f2.8 pancake lens.>t. A7c enjoyer
>>4360388You do not want to be lugging that full frame around all the time. Interchangeable lens cameras are a money sink (which is fine if you’re into that). Just get the x100v. It will get more usage purely because it’s easier to carry.
>>4360503>You do not want to be lugging that full frame around all the time.you're not lugging an x100 around all the time either.

>>4360503The x100's lens sucks. Xtrans sucks. Fuji's fake vintage controls suck. And it's basically no size and weight difference unless you are a girl. When I see people bitching about "lugging full frame around" i have to remind myself that 4chan is 30% female. As a man, the difference doesn't exist. Neither camera fits into a pocket without pulling your coat down. Both need to be on a neck or wrist strap.The only way a difference could possibly come into play is if you're <130lbs and wear a purse.if you think the x100 lens is fine just use a PNS lens screwed into a body cap, it's really the same thing.>>4360505That's a 24mm lens adapted from a disposable camera and yet, it somehow equals the nikkor z 26mm? Crazy
>>4360405>made up situationWorthless post
>>4360388The question you need to ask yourself is this OP: Do you want a camera oozing with S O U L or a bulky fool frame camera with slower inferior optics that will brick itself if you so much as sneeze at it?
>>4360535Nothing you said even makes sense
>>4360535Did you forget to post an image of your camera with S O U L? I only see a shitty x100 instead
>>4360438I hear a lot of good things about the 35mm f2.8 from Tamron. It's not the smallest lens, but it's very lightweight. Apparently it's as good as the CV 35mm f2 APO or the 35mm f1.4 GM (at f2.8).Also costs only $199.
>>4360567>recommend a lens thats more than quadruple the size of the fujiMight as well just buy a bulky DSLR

>>4360660Exactly. I mean thats what you get for buying a fucking playstation lmao
Idiots think rainwater is just like any other water...>In both rain and dew water the mean average conductivity is low, EC ≈ 200 µS cm-1, corresponding to low total mineralization ≈ 0.77 EC =150 mg L-1 (dew and rain).>Electrical conductivity is a measure of the saltiness of the water and is measured on a scale from 0 to 50,000 uS/cm. Electrical conductivity is measured in microsiemens per centimeter (uS/cm). Freshwater is usually between 0 and 1,500 uS/cm and typical sea water has a conductivity value of about 50,000 uS/cm.Weather sealing is meant against rainwater you fucking dumbos. Even if rainwater gets past the gaskets (which it doesn't on Nikon or Olympus) it dries off before causing any corrosion. If you on the other hand decide to do a nude gay shooting in the ocean spray you can watch the corrosion happening in realtime.

>>4360388Don't be fooled by the size similarity. The A7CII won't fit in your pocket, and the Fuji will. For hobby photography it's going to be a lot better to have a smaller camera which can go with you everywhere.
