The RX100? It's half the price, if that's the camera you mean anyway. That's what always came up when I looked up Fuji X100 vs Sony so I'm assuming it's the equivalent.

RX1r3 is $5.1k bro

>>4461064
He probably means the RX1R, although the problem is that it's way less disrespectable than the Slugspecial X100. With the money one buys a gay Fuji one could just buy something desirable like a real rangefinder made in Europe. But no, slugs want the ugly fake vintage aesthetic and the wormy sensor because that's what they got shilled on Tiktok.

Fuji has less market share than any other camera company. They arent popular. They are heavily advertised on social media and produced in limited quantities to make people in the cult think they are.

The x100 is a really poorly made camera. Everything from the rattly build to the clunkiness of every moving part and common camera function (ie: autofocus, menus) calls back to all those disposable semi-premium consumer electronics toys of the mid 2000s (good enough but not great notebooks, mp3 players, etc) that were always 3 generations behind in tech and 1 generation behind in price. Except it's 2025, and it's a social media meme. So it's 10 generations behind and 1 generation ahead in price.

The thing is literally a plastic shell that isn't truly weather sealed, it has wiggly doors ffs, and it's going up against better made and/or cheaper compacts that only lack sheer image quality - while targeting a market that doesn't give a fuck about sheer image quality. The x100vi isn't even pocketable so it also has to compete with people buying sony aps-c and even full frame and just slapping cheap shit samyang lenses on, and while sony has shit image quality, the x100vi market doesnt give a shit about shit image quality and sony's shitty green colors are just begging to be turned into a cinestill 800t film sim. If you don't like green, buy a ricoh gr III/X or an olympus/om system.

Call fuji's general lack of quality soul if you want (autofocus worse than an a6500) but the slowish but functional dell notebook with finish rubbing off the plastic aesthetic is some really shitty fucking soul.

>>
>>4461118
only an idiot uses that wheel on top to change ISO anyway.

if i'm not using auto ISO i have ISO assigned to the front command wheel. shutter speed assigned to the rear command wheel. allows you to adjust both without taking your eye away from the viewfinder.
even without that ISO/shutter speed dial ontop the x100 cameras still have far superior physical interface to anything by sony or canon.
>>
>>4461134
>fuji is fine if you simply dont use half the design features and use it as a two dial camera just like every sony, nikon, pentax, olympus, and panasonic

Sony has a lot of good ideas. They should have stuck with the design of the first gen a7s. Small and photo-centric, just a continuation of minolta's design philosophy like the full frame version of micro four thirds.
>>
>>4461009
You mean a Ricoh GR?

Once upon a time fuji had pocketable x100s. They were called the x70 and xf10.

But they figured they'd rather have a cult of actual idiots they could treat like the clueless trash they are so they went all in on the X100 series. No serious photographic improvements since the original model! Only price hikes and megapixels!

Sony has a major identity crisis

I LIKE this style of grip and this size of camera, but sony needs to get their head out of their ass and decide which models are professional "wide fixed aperture zoom and speedlite attached at all times" cameras and which models are "amateurs dont need any grip at all" models.

The a7c, I think, was peak sony. No grip at all. it was designed like those old film camera that just had a slight battery bump. And then the a7cii came out and added the cramped "professional (almost) grip (if you could call it that)". What the fuck, sony?

Their designers are perfectly capable of making the modern, high performance version of fuji cameras but they cant figure out how to separate FF cameras for the pro and amateur markets fo shit.
>>
>>4461171
Sony is not a camera company. They became successful as a combination of good market positioning strategy, the snowball effect of an open mount license (learning well from Canon EF), and the glacial progress of their competitors. Not because they make good cameras. Therein lies the source of the "identity crisis".

>>
>>4461173
Sony is more of a camera company (minolta & bronica engineers) than canon (a printer company) desu.

If you're familiar with how commitees fucking things up you can see the minolta and bronica cameras at the core of the "but mashimoto in marketing said we need to target this stereotype" fuckups.

They make good cameras. But they are fucking up almost as much as nikon. Did you know nikon axed one piece mag-al frames? The Z6III, Z5II, ZF, and Z8 all have multi part frames now. the Z7II, Z6II, and Z9 had one solid hunk of metal.
>>
>>4461173

They have the best deals for employees and camera retail employees, at least half that I've met owned Sony with that pricing being a big reason. At least in my region, the most event and vendor support for local stores too.

sony is one of the few brands that got this right. digital cameras have more settings than film ones. they need at least 3 dials.

6% market share

they are unreliable cameras that are multiple generations behind the second cheapest canon APS-C (ie: r50) in basics such as autofocus reliability and image quality

the vast majority of people who buy cameras buy a crop sensor canon. in second is sony, in third is nikon. fujifilm is not even fourth, it is a distant straggler competing with other literally whos that only look popular if you're in the right social media algorithm bubble like OM system and panasonic.

Correct. Sony does not make professional cameras and never has. Their position in the market was a fluke and after nikon finishes migrating RED sensor tech to their ILCs, sony will go back to making silly hobbyist cameras.

As one of the resident Fuji stans, X-E5 still makes no sense to me over alternatives (X-M5, X-T5, X100VI). Much more features for the same price and a minimal size increase, or basically the same in an even more compact body.
>>
>>4461509
Ya, I get where you and a lot of other people are coming from. I wanted x-e5 over x-m5 because of the viewfinder, which really helps (me at least) on sunny days, and over x100vi because interchangeable lenses. I know x-t5 is a great camera but I wanted a rangefinder looking camera. X-e5 is no doubt expensive, but I saved for it, so I didn't have to gut my bank account. Looking forward to shooting with it this weekend, I'm pretty stoked, actually.
>>
>>4460982
my current fuji x bodies are xpro2 and xt3. i've come and gone out of wanting an x100 but i'm good where i'm at as well. the idea of the flexibility of two ilc bodies is appealing, but practically, i will most likely never need more than the xt3. maybe if i ever see a black v for 1400, i'll snag one..

4chan "gearfags" are about value propositions and calling companies greedy ripoff factories. I would hardly call them gearfags. Most of them only use cheaper gear.

They are closer to being communists than gearfags.

The sovl crowd, sony hate crowd, and brand=status crowd are true gearfags but they’re outnumbered by commies who call companies out on their shit. And the commies are right. Cameras plateaued, prices did not, and some brands are blatantly screwing people and passing off their incompetence as style because most people outside 4chan are gearfags

Gearfag mindset: this camera makes me a real artist. i have a soul because it has a soul. i have quality photos because it takes quality photos. i cant take good photos or be a photographer with less. No one can. It doesnt have problems YOU have problems SKILL ISSUE.

You're a consoomerist. FOMO is one of the core values of consoomerism. The others are regret, indignance, and the sunk cost fallacy. It's a purely negative lifestyle because unhappy people are more likely to make rash decisions with their money, and the entire culture of consoomerism was intelligently designed by corporate america. It's not a natural phenomenon.

Consoomerism is not spending more money than someone else, or having nicer things than someone else and calling worse stuff junk
It's feeling a need to spend money to control yourself and alleviate bad feelings, no matter how poor or rich you are

The least consoomerist thing you could do now is just use what you have and stop caring.

This is a great way to never end up with a solid shooting style that is your own.
Pick one damn prime that feels as close to normal to you as possible, git gud using it, and only then think about getting one wider prime and/or one tele prime as complements.

Just selectively desaturate colors, teal your greens, and jack up the blacks.

Fuji doesnt have le jpeg magic its just putting the slider values in before shooting. It turns out sometimes but for it to turn out every time its a waste of time for people who like using digital camera menus, shooting less, and fiddling more.

Yeah I've noticed that a lot of fuji shots look really desaturated yet the colors still pop and everything looks really warm. I'm definitely their core demo since I'm just a casual retard but I chose snoy instead. The x100vi just seemed like a good pick because I exclusively use 35mm anyway (not much of a difference) and it seemed like fuji cameras pulled off the digital filmic look well for casual snapshits whereas the same shots on a sony look like they came out of a boomer's flickr album

Neither are true besides your pointing out the obviously overbaked and ugly fake "warmth". Please improve your taste before posting quality judgments about equipment. You can do this by shooting RAW and learning to develop. The problem with Fuji users is that they're skipping the necessary adolescent stage of learning to develop pictures, where you're experimenting with silly shit like cross processing, extreme tone curve shifts, "retro looks", and so forth, before you eventually arrive at a good, TRANSPARENT style (where the 'look' of the image draws the least amount of attention of all its qualities). This results in a class of low-tier hobbyists whose images are all 'look' and no substance, like that snapshit of the Swiss ferry, or pic related.

X100VI users around the world are realizing they fell victim to somebody else's Get Rich Quick scheme when they could've just purchased say a Z30 with 26mm pancake, and "learned Lightroom" (really just installing any preset pack and dragging a couple sliders) for a fraction of the cost, and been better off too.

What does fake grain or “fake colors” have to do with phone pictures? Thats not what makes something look like an iPhone photo, it’s the extremely obvious HDR and bracketing, and the boat picture doesn’t have that. Also these photos are way too low res for there to be any “smeary details”. I’m not arguing that Fujis are great cameras, because I don’t think they are, but they don’t do all the computational stuff like phones
>>
>>4462786
>what's the point having another iPhone lvl pic quality machine in your pocket?
You're thinking of the X100VI (or actually any X-Trans camera). The GR is Bayer and produces results like any recent APS-C body paired with a good lens (if not better - the 28mm on the GRIII is literally THE best 28mm equivalent lens for APS-C ever produced in history).

In both cases, fake grain is (preferentially) applied by the user/JPG engine to hide the ugly mushy details of X-Trans and smartphone sensors alike (you'll recall that VSCO for smartphones was massively popular until the advent of the digicam trend).
By "fake colors" I mean colors that are very obviously doctored to achieve a currently trendy, kitschy "look" that is based on some nebulous faux-nostalgic concept of what film (especially Kodachrome) supposedly used to look like. It's spiritually identical to being in 2014 and posting a picture with pic rel IG filter.

It’s because there is no money in film. The money to be made in the analog era was from printing to film or photographic paper, but considering almost nobody does that anymore, it’s a tough business. The film stock itself was marginally profitable, all film stock is obscenely priced now to make up for the loss of photographic printing.

Even snapshits had to get printed, and a bad movie still required hundreds of miles of print film for distribution, but not anymore.

I just bought one a couple weeks back and took it on a trip where I got to use it extensively. I like it! It's a pretty easy to use camera although for some reason the battery it comes provided with is major ass and dies after like 30 minutes. The other batteries I bought were fine though

I was hesitant at first to buy a fixed lens camera but I realized that on a lot of vacations I went to, especially trips to the beach, I would just end up not bringing my other cameras because I knew that I wouldn't want to lug a bunch of lens around. The small size of the camera is a plus as far as I'm concerned

Also one time I took it to a concert and they only let me bring it in because it was a fixed lens, so I guess that's a perk
>>
>>4465033
>>4465033
Nah I get what that anon means cause I've been there before. Yes the multiple lenses give you access to much more potential compositions but in practice you focus more on the focal length then just getting a good shot. For instance imagine a bird flies up next to you. You want to get a picture of it so you start fiddling with the lens to get a longer focal length, but by the time you finish the bird has fucked off, or moved to a different spot so the shot is worse. Any shot is better than just straight up missing one cause of being overly focused on the perfect focal length.

You have to know yourself well enough to know what shots you're looking for. Go out with one lens on your camera and nothing else. Maybe a spare battery or two and some filters.
If it works and you know why, perfect.
If it works and you don't know why, spend more time with it and figure out why.
If it doesn't work and you know why, make it work or stop using the lens.
If it doesn't work and you don't know why, spend more time with it to figure out why.
It's really that simple, and I don't know why people don't figure this out on their own. You will never get all the photos, so focus on which ones you can get and want to get. For example, the reason I settled into telephoto lenses is because I couldn't get the photos I was seeing when I would go out with just a wide-angle, so I stopped using wide-angle lenses.
In your case, you're not getting the photos you want when you go out with 4 different lenses at a time, so stop using 4 different lenses at a time.

>But what if I miss out on some shots!??
>>4462271
Take your own photos. No one else determines which shots you shouldn't or shouldn't miss out on. Why would you run around and act like some teeny bopper somewhere, for someone else's shots? You take the photos, man, you pack the bag. The camera's yours. You press the shutter button.

>Its not a digital camera from 2013
It is.

Soft lens.
Grinding, slow autofocus.
Low resolution despite megapixel number.
Poor build quality with dials flying off, wheels getting pushed in, and the finish chipping off.

An x100vi is indistinguishable from silvery high mid end consoomer ewaste from 2013. That is what it was, and always has been, because fuji has never actually improved the camera, only the spec sheet, and for the lifespan of the model line [1]fuji has focused more and more on lifestyle marketing because as far as they and anyone else can see, the only reason anyone ever bought an x100 was because other cameras were uglier.

>You wouldn't be able to make a camera as small as it is back then
The x100 is not small. At all. It's actually somewhat large, perpetually larger than the competing sony and m43 bodies (nex 6 and em5 in 2013), and remains so large that other companies felt comfortable making their aps-cs larger than they have to be and fitting in superior featuresets for the same amount of money... and often less. Go to [1].

The x100 series has never been a good camera. It is designed and marketed as a fashion accessory with a flashy spec sheet and very little goes into making a good photographic tool rather than a good toy for larpers who want to feel like the photographer they aren't.

fuji is just sony in a thrift store sport jacket and a hat. it's not even small. it's bigger than a sony aps-c. don't fall for the social media hype. the x100s and fujis in general are not popular cameras in real life. they have less market share even than nikon. almost no one buys them. the majority of fujis sales are to chinese people who are chronically appearance obsessed but also afraid of the government spying on their phones, and unable to afford leicas which in chinese culture is the only real option for a digital camera that does not bring shame to your family.

I found one of these just off the trail while hiking to a waterfall in Washington last year. Had a bunch of pics of someone's dog on the memory card.
Judging by the date stamps on the most recent photos, it had been out there more than a month before I found it, so I brought it home and dried it thoroughly before charging it and attempting to power it on. I got the light on the back to light up, but nothing displays on the LCD. Still might try to disassemble it and see if I can fix it, though it looks like there's moisture in the lens, so it might be toast.

That is definitely not six stops. 1/16th is 1 stop, 1/8th is 2, 1/4th is 3.

Remember kids, just because you CAN afford it, does not mean you SHOULD buy it. And if someone calls something "overpriced junk", that does not mean they can't afford it and secretly want it. It can, and usually does, mean it's overpriced junk. But in these dark days where kids come out as "anthro fox dickgirls" and then murder random other kids at school for no reason, apparently the meaning of "should" has been completely and utterly lost (i guess it was too fascist and oppressive?)

money wasting gearfags btfo

i respect you less if you have any fuji or use a full frame camera without being a paid professional.

you don't need it, you dont benefit from it, you paid extra to feel like you're someone cooler than you are mostly based on your own delusions. everyone around you just thinks you're stupid and trying to buy your way into having the skills you never will. no one cares about your "film sims" or "vibe". no one cares about your 40mp or color science or that you did it with jpeg instead of "cheating" with a raw. if you did everything with a sony nex 5n or a canon m50 the few people who actually see your photos besides you wouldn't notice or care.

you will look back on this period of gearfaggotry and be disgusted with yourself. all that money and you never even tasted success. you were always a pretender.

Expensive cameras are kind of a trailer park cope desu

The selective worldview makes it easy to pretend you live another life
Other people see your camera but not your house
Most people dont know what it is and think its fancier than it really is
The pricetags are high enough to deter sane people but not too high for trailer/apartment losers with mid jobs like construction to afford (as long as they’re childless and skipped college)

They have a lot in common, sociologically, with luxury watches, electric guitar, guns, and motorcycles.

You know, you dont see many sony users on /p/, but it's the most popular FF brand... consider: thats because /p/ is all nophotos and depressed losers in their respective slumps, and sony chads are too busy shooting and posting sick shots on IG to have time to argue about nikon "auto" "focus", canon's innovations in takedown telephotos, and fuji's price to worms ratio.

I see nothing but pro-snoy and anti-snoy rhetroic on this god forsaken board. Nikon's entire memeability is that their AF is shit. Canon's is the cripplehammer blobmera. Pentax and OM System have kind of just quietly died. Etc. Etc.

There is a HEAVY bias towards snoy-centric conversation on this board despite the pretty consistent fact that all camera brands have their own problems. Neo-modern Nikon might be the only cameras that I can't find fault with.
I am convinced faggots like you who say "it's the most popular FF brand" are paid shills, because no other brandwaring faggots for other brands have to constantly reaffirm their favourite sports team quite like Snoybois (You).

Do it. Prove me right. Respond to this post and prove you're a shill who is contractually obligated to defend snoy at all costs.

Nikon’s fault is releasing the a7iii 4 times (wow, still 24mp? Fuji and even phones are catching up. 24mp bayer = 16mp real) and making huge cameras. Even the ZF is huge and it fucks the ergos and aesthetics compared to an fm3. Clipboard vs brick. The ZF with a grip plate is as wide and tall as a Z8. Olympus and Fuji retro bodies have a small integrated grip that’s more than sufficient.

Nikon really needs to poach a designer from sony, sigma, panasonic, or fuji. They have specs and near-perfect mid level lenses, but not practicality or soul.

If Sony can fit an FF sensor in something as small as the a7c, idk why the Zf is the size it is. Should be the size of the zfc.
If they could combine that with some actually compact lenses, I’d never need another camera, desu.
There’s no reason for an f4 standard zoom or a fast 35-50mm prime to be as big as the z mount versions are.

The ZR is the best looking of all modern cameras if we exclude Leica. Though it's more of a video camera unfortunately without a mech shutter.

I really don't understand Fuji, they always are on the right track with their design but then they decide to add something that makes the proportion look completely off. But at least their lenses look best.

But that consistency in great looking bodies is something only Leica achived so far. Germans truly are masters of industrial design.
>>
>>4470594
And pic related is pure perfection. Only reason why Leica is still alive and why they still get people to pay 10k for their products is because how great they look and feel. If they would be abominations like Japanese cameras then they would be long dead, given that their inside tech is rather bad.

Hasselblad is on the right track but their cameras always look like from a 13 years old who did some blender tutorials and created his own camera concept design.

You're someone that will never be happy with the camera market, always find a reason to complain. If Zf is everything you want, but just a tad too big, you're just being silly.

If you don't care about quality, there are plenty of smaller worse options, you could even go down in sensor size too.

It's the same shape as other video oriented models like the FX3. You can only get more video shape oriented going full box-style or when you go to a much larger body like FX6. Simple bodies are better for rigging up anyways.

And he still doesn't like nikons "ergonomics"

Nikon is the worst brand, ergonomically. Yes, even compared to fuji and sony, because at least those ergo issues are solved by just never using the pixel peeper wank/professional faggotry lenses (if you were a professional you'd use canon, period, for other reasons anyways). This has been a constant throughout all of their cameras. Even sony has better controls (like dual rear dials and MUCH better menu/playback/etc button placement) despite their grips being designed as if no one who matters will ever touch a zoom lens ending in f2.8 or a prime lens ending in f1.4. They hired a good designer ONCE and then figured they never had to again.

In an ideal world
-Sony would stop pretending to be a professional brand and make full frame hobbyist cameras, like fuji+
-Fuji would stop pretending to be nikon and discontinue all oversized pixel peeper/zoom wank glass and the x-h/x-s cameras
-Nikon would copy either canon or sony's control layout and get rid of dumb shit like the zoom in/out buttons, add clicks to all control rings free of charge, and add a second rear dial for EC or ISO. And also, solve their rubber swelling/grip peeling issues that have persisted into the z7ii and will likely continue.

Until then
-Pros use canon
-Hobbyists with too much money use fuji/sony/leica
-Pixel peeper camera nerds use nikon

I was a guest with a camera (FF body with a manual focus 50/1.2) at the last wedding I attended. Picked about 50 solid images. I was shocked when I saw the absolute disgrace of the "professional" results (a team of 3, mind you, two 6DmkIIs with 24-70 kit zoom and a video dude with a Sony). Thousands of pictures, yes, but complete trash. Weird grey colors, close-up portraits shot at 24mm (and not in a quirky artsy way), useless boring snapshits. I wonder how these "pros" stay in business.
>>
>>4471328
Customers are much less discerning that you would think and they accept as “good” a lot what we spergs on here would call utter trash. I’m surprised they let you bring your camera as a guest, the last couple weddings have been no cameras allowed because “we have a photographer you just enjoy our moment with us” kinda thing.
>>
>>4471328
Neat to hear you have expertise with bringing a camera to a wedding as a guest one time, how great for you!
>>
>>4470889
I’m not saying that I’ll never be happy, I’m saying that I can’t tell if, in practice, the extra 450+ grams a Zf kit would add relative to a Fuji kit would bother me.
The Zf weighs almost as much as my d90, which I regularly left behind on outings because it was an annoying heavy blob.
May favorite film camera weighs less than an x-t4, but the lenses are heavier, so it’s a bit of a wash.
For reference, I have big hands, even compared to something like a d90, big film camera, etc, it’s more about the clunkiness and weight of a 26 oz body combined with the chunkiness of Nikons new primes.
The Zf pics I see largely look as good or better than the Fuji pics, but it’s hard to compare apples to apples because the Nikon guys seem to be better shooters in general and I’m not lol.
What are the cheaper, smaller, crappier options for Z lenses? Just like TT-artisan and stuff like that? I prefer the “vintage character” type shots that people get out of the Nikon 40/f2 anyway, so that’s no big sacrifice.
On the other hand, going Fuji saves 30% off of the body weight, some percent off the lens weight, and the only tradeoff is nearly imperceptibly worse pics at social media sizes and a harder time generating ultra-narrow depth for portraits.
>>
>>4471328
As much as I enjoy taking my camera with it's snapshit setup (kit lens) out to social events (nobody wants you to be hauling around your bazooka 70-200), you might actually be socially inept.
In what world did you go to a wedding and think, gee, this is the perfect time to fire off enough photos to pick 50 out of them. What the fuck. Even if I took my proper camera it would be to set up a handful of portrait shots of me and my wife as something to go in the photo album.
Turning to the output of the pros, that's what they're paid for. They're paid to have a range of photographs that all pass as technically acceptable. The clients get to pick the ones they like the most out of 1000 and because the cameratographers are doing all sorts of weird shit, there's a varied spread.
Especially for a wedding, nobody gives a fuck about the artistic merit of a shot most the time. They just want photos for memories.
>>
>>4471386
24mp full frame cameras are just unimpressive unless used by a skilled photographer. They're not a magic "woah" button. They handle color and shadow detail better. You're either good enough to benefit from that, or you're not.

I agree that the zf feels too big and clunky. The z6ii and z5ii are easier to carry despite technically being the "big ugly blobs".

But if you want your photos to be "woah, nice camera" at almost any size, you need at least an a7iv/a7cii, z7, or r5 for the "woah, nice camera" effect.
>>
>>4471388
If everyone had a compact aps-c mirrorless at the least, professional event photography as an industry would collapse overnight and the entire market would rewind to the 80s when "wedding photographer" meant you had a guy with a medium format camera show up to do artificially lit, 30" wallhanger-grade portraits, instead of 5000 candids, and he planned all the shots with the couple before the wedding started.

It can not be overstated how useless modern wedding and event photographers are, as professionals and as people. Most of them are only doing photography because it's the most money they can make without a college degree or a clean drug test. A fucking 16 year old student with an a7iii and tamron 28-75 f2.8 can produce the same if not better output.

>>4471386
The Zf is fat and heavy for no reason really. I hope the mark 2 gonna be lighter. There are many light and tiny full frame cameras (Sigma, Lumix S9, ..).

Aps-c lenses aren't always lighter. The full frame Z40mmf2 can be compared with the xf23mmf1.4 (though the Z in apsc would be more a 26mmf1.3). Z weights 170 grams and the xf23 more than double with 370g. Yet still being slower. And you are right, most won't see a difference. Really depends on wether you are a pixel peeper or not. There is a difference between apsc and ff images that goes beyond "ultra-narrow depth". The details, sharpness, colors, "3D pop", dynamic range, etc. make the whole image and the bigger the sensor the better the image quality.

>>4471390
Are you sure that the megapixel matter all that much? I mean looking at photos on screen size. I think the "woah, nice camera" effect is mainly produced by the lens. No matter which full frame camera you use. If zooming in, there is no question about it of course. For example if you compare a photo shot on a 28mm summilux on the 24mp Leica Q with lets say the Sony A7RV and the FE28mmF2.. the summilux gonna look much better for sure.
>>
>>4471427
Megapixels matter for stuff with very fine detail like asian women. Bayer slop erases fine detail and replaces it with either nothing or a blob.
>>
>>4471427
>The details, sharpness, colors, "3D pop", dynamic range, etc. make the whole image and the bigger the sensor the better the image quality.
you're right. but sometimes I'm willing to make the compromise and not lug around heavy FF gear. because in the end the flawed photo you have is way better than the perfect photo you didn't take because you wouldn't take your camera with you
>>
>>4471489
ok bro, but that doesn't make sense, because full frame has been aps-c/mft sized for ages unless you're exclusively into birds and macro or literally fucking autistic about something on the spec sheet.

this is the real reason you see so much cherry picked, dishonestly spun, and out of date but irrationally generalized sony hate on /p/
sony outsells the next five brands combined entirely because of the -c models. nikon, fujifilm, panasonic, sigma, and om system all sell less cameras overall than sony's a7c line alone.

a fucking portable tape player company basically destroyed every rational reason to buy anything else. those next five brands are no longer popular IRL. they're heavily astroturfed and get their social media algorithm-bubbles on the internet but IRL sales are poor and extremely dependent on the chinese markets secret trick (having more retarded customers than everyone else).
>>
>>4471492
Appeal to popularity seems like a good argument until you realize that most people are mentally deficient and have poor taste. Who gives a shit what the best-selling brand is? Who gives a shit except if there are reasons, based on use case, to go for one option over another? Blanket statements based on popularity metrics make no sense because you have to consider a dozen other things specific to the person buying the camera.

most people who can afford cameras are already in a higher income bracket and more likely to be more intelligent and attractive than you. it's part of why sony got away with not really focusing on jpegs for the longest time. all the people who are smart enough to make enough money to afford a camera, are smart enough to edit raws efficiently instead of taking hours to produce kenrockwell.com.

Not everyone wants to or can just buy a MILC FF. What, everyone using a D800 lovingly is supposed to fuck it off instead of using their B-cam or a phone when it suits them? Lol sneed.
The correct approach is to have a big kit for planned things or when max quality counts, and either a small P&S or large sensor phone at other times. EDC faggots like you who absolutely NEED to take their snoy everywhere are insufferable.

low IQ consoomer

What the fuck. M43 is a blight on this world. How did you draw that conclusion?
Just because I think Snoy is shit doesn't mean I think M43 is good.
They're both about the same level of shit for different reasons
>>4471516
Lol hit a nerve with the anit-snoy sentiment did I?
>>
>>4471492
yeah but you got like the smallest lightest body/lens combo for FF while taking big sized apsc and m43 gear.
now I would use sony if it had any soul. but whenever I use on of their cams I feel like programming my VHS recorder back in 1993. nah thanks.
when I go out to lunch and want to keep some memories I take some compact POS like a loomix gm5, gx80, etc. something in that size. not gonna lug around an a7c neither an xt5 or om5 with a huge and expensive meme prime like the 20mm 1.4 lol
stop being so triggered. use the right tool for the right occasion. or is your identity pegged to some sony full frame camera because your parents didn't love you enough?
>>
>>4471507
>The only rational take. Full frame is for maxing out your IQ which isn't always the ideal route to take.
yeah I learned this again most recently on vacation. had my nice full frame mirrorless with a nice mirrorless prime with me. and more often than not I left it in the hotel room because "fuck, it's hot outside and I don't need that weight hanging around my neck for a day". I took photos with my shartphone with its retarded AI processing. and while the photos look like ken rockwell got a stroke I still like them because they're memories of a vacation with my family.
that's when I realized (not for the first time lol but gearfaggery gets you repeatedly) that I would have been absolutely fine with a 16mpx or whatever apsc/m43 compact camera.
now when it comes to photo trips where taking photos is the main reason and not just an add-on I will take my full frame equipment. but never again for casual vacation/going out/etc
>>
>>4471517
If you wanna stick with 28mm then Ricoh of course. Much smaller and better lens.
>>
>>4471555
>while the photos look like ken rockwell got a stroke I still like them because they're memories of a vacation with my family.
I think lots of anons here forget this is the primary use case for lots of people. While I went down the autistic full frame route, I originally got into photography because I didnt have any tangible memories and my brain is getting forgetful.
>>
>>4471507
Full frame maxes out your versatility, not your IQ. Stabilized APS-C beats unstabilized FF in low light, for example. Cooled 4/3in beats a general purpose FF for astro. Sheet film beats everything else for sun lit landscape. I could go on but my point has been made.

>Stabilized APS-C beats unstabilized FF in low light, for example.
what if the subject isn't a gas station/lawn chair and is moving?
>>
>>4471586
Pan shots benefit from stabilization too.

I'm buying the x100vi next month. I'm waiting for all the black friday stuff to get all the accessories I want for it cheaper. It'll be my first new camera in over a decade. Done a shitload of research to find out which camera would best suit my needs and the x100vi ticks all the boxes.
Can't fucking wait.
>>
>>4471615
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Even a fucking Sony would be better.
>>
>>4471620
If anything, this thread has shown me people here are more insane than the guys in the guitar general on /mu/. Disregard every opinion here and have fun shooting the new camera when I get it.

>cool enjoy gimping yourself and being mad at the nice cameras you cant afford
Its an overpriced bottom of the barrel consumer grade snoy, not a Leica anon.
>>
>>4471615
Get the 100v, I’ve seen reviews suggesting that they didn’t change the lens between the v and vi, and it doesn’t like the new 40mp sensor.
Also you save a decent amount of money for almost the same thing in a lot of other areas.
>>4471427
Yeah, I see your point. Most of the Fuji lenses are a good amount lighter, but there’s a surprising number where the FF is pretty comparable.
I know what you mean about the pop and the dimensionality and everything. I’ve been looking at Zf albums vs Xt or X-pro and the Zf often looks nicer, even to me. I figure part of it is that the average Fuji redditor isn’t great at post, but Cam Mackey’s side-by-side review definitely the Zf looking that little extra bit better, even on youtube quality. And he didn’t fuck up the xt5 results to make a point, they also looked amazing.
Granted, his xt5 and zf results both look immensely better than anything people are posting on reddit lol.
I wish Nikon had a more consistently compact lens lineup, although several of the third party fast 85mm lenses are actually lighter than the Fuji 56mm equivalent.
At the end of the day, the option of the hybrid OVF on the x pro is really cool and there’s just something about the Fuji lineup makes me love the idea of going out and shooting with it. And chicks love the retro look.

But, the Nikon is better for the money, beats them on autofocus, and has all the usual FF benefits, 3d pop, micro contrast, dimensionality, etc. it’s not a huge difference at social media sizes or small prints, but it’s there. Nikon is also better at adapting, but I don’t want to spend a ton of money on a giant vintage lens collection anyway.
>>
>>4471667
The Zf is genuinely a great camera. Especially for it's price point. The only real downside in my opinion is that it just has bizarre ergonomics. It's not even that it's too heavy or big. It just feels weird to hold and not quite heavy or light enough. I wish had a similar body to the FM3 if it was doing the retro larp. The 40mm F2 you can get with is is actually incredible though. Such a good mix of IQ, price, and size.

This. Just buy a sony. If a bunch of turbo autists on 4chan are screeching that its shit, it’s probably good and mogs their hipster shit to death anywhere outside their spreadsheet based imagination.
>>
>>4471696
Its the other way around. Its only the same turbo autist shilling snoy, so yeah, its trash. Nobody is buying an old crippled a7c with snoy colors lmao.
>>4471673
The Nikon 40/2 is the GOAT. Small, fast and not overpriced.
>>
>>4471752
More people are buying sony cameras than nikon cameras except in the portion of the japanese market tracked by BCN. Are you japanese?

Based on my experience with sony, they just make good cameras. If 4chan hates them it's because some incel here vaguely associates them with leftism or trannies. No other reason, unless it's some juvenile, chris-chan tier idiocy beyond any normal person's ability to guess. The a7iii was a better camera than the z6ii before the z6ii even came out, and the autofocus is still better than the z5ii's... jussaiyan.

if you have a problem with the colors, I have some questions
>Why are you spending four figures on a camera body if you are so stupid you shoot jpeg's default settings or worse, use darktable
>Why are you spending four figures on a camera body and $300 a year on lightroom if you arent aware adobe has no good defaults and requires new presets for every camera
Otherwise sony colors are great. The vast majority of professionals use them, including every single associated press journalist. Who even has a problem with them, besides incompetent newbs on youtube who try to vlog with auto white balance? That would even fuck up a canon
>oops too blue, too magenta, too green, too orange, AWB is never right
>>
>>4471758
Imagine how much it hurts a sony hater when the a7cii is right there and they force themselves to use some arcane minmaxed 3 body setup instead
>>
Funny you mention sony. I pretend to shoot canon for appearances — but my main camera is actually an a7c with the 28-60 mm kit lens

But if you watch the whole video her colors all over the place
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4N2VKRJ27DE
And she’s using a $2000 kit to shoot iphone tier video.

Color science is a skill issue. Most professionals use sony for a reason. If you have problems, you lack skill. Go back to your iphone. If a camera costs more than $500 it is for professionals ONLY.

>>4471855
hurrr durrrr imma payin customer and if the default settings are shit the camera is shit because i paid all this money so i deserve every want and need catered to! i am the customer and i am always right! the right way to use things is the way i use them goshdarnit ya slants gotta hire some of them apple guys because i aint readin this faggot manual or spendin 5 hours figgerin out a raw file! wheres yer manager!?
>>
>>4471775
lol the readout from the sensor is so bad on that scamera that people walking will cause a rolling shutter. It's a good camera if your a youtuber who doesn't care about their art but if you have any sort of intention behind your photos it will disappoint you. If you want it get it but you'll probably end up selling it in a couple months anyways when you start to notice the sony flaws.
>>
>>4471934
>e-shutter readout
>rolling shutter
>photography
anon, it's not a lumix s9. it has an electronic first curtain shutter. do you gearfaggots have the slightest fucking idea what you're talking about? did you seriously spend $2000 on a camera and leave it on electronic shutter for action photography? is that what happened?

i'm starting to think sony has a ton of really fucking retarded users, and all the stupid snoy posting is just snoyboys not so transparently complaining about not being able to use their fucking camera because they're clueless faggots who blew $$$$ without thinking or trying to learn a single fucking thing
seriously, the last faggot who wouldnt shut up about how "snoy is the worst" was literally a sony user himself and he was pissed because sony ignored his requests to make specific lenses.

i can 100% believe this. last decade it was "nikon is the worst, it has a green tint, the autofocus doesnt work, i'm buying a canon" coming from idiots that bought a d850/d4 because it was the most expensive camera at costco and left it on auto mode or used totally retarded settings

sony: ok cameras. fucking idiot users. biggest fucking morons.

post all those rolling shutter plagued photos you took with your a7cii retard. people should be forced to use a canon rebel for their first 5 years i swear to god
>>
>>4471944
lol it's so slow it rolls in EFCS. That only really fixes banding from LEDs. I'm not going to bother combing through photos from a year ago to argue with aa sony user munching on crayons. If you want the sony and are okay with the compromises it offers then buy it. Otherwise just get a z5ii for cheaper and enjoy better raws and lenses. Why can't this board handle someone critiquing sony. They make okay camera's that are have a youtuber markup attached to it.
>>
>>4471944
You are correct which is why they’re making shit up to cope

Sony is the #1 brand in being too much camera for a first camera

>>4471953
Nice attempt at bullshitting with minimal knowledge. You snoys can never shut up about how the camera is why you suck.

What you actually said is: Youtube told me this camera was good but i cant figure out how to use it :(
>>
>>4470544
Poop, I never "left for /pol/", I was always on /pol/ arguing with NPCs who figure things out years too late. I have been a Nazi since grade 8.

I stopped posting here because 1) I started shooting film again and it will never be digitized and 2) the quality of /p/ plummeted to the point that I think I'm too good for this place. All the good shooters left ages ago.

Now do yourself a favour and let go of the past, even if you have no present or future to enjoy. It isn't healthy.
