Why I chose Fujifilm instead of Full Frame

In this video, I'm sharing why I chose the Fujifilm XT4 camera over a Full Frame camera.

I hope you find this video helpful if you're looking to make the same decision! I cover the pros and cons of both cameras in detail, so you can make an informed decision about which camera is right for you. Thanks for watching!

What you’re saying about low light and aperture size is incorrect. The reason full frame cameras are better in low light is because of a lower sensor signal-to-noise ratio. It has nothing to do with the lens. You get the same exposure on crop sensor and full frame using the same exposure triangle settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO). The difference will be that the full frame camera will produce less noise and have a shallower depth-of-field at the same settings.

I picked fujifilm because i wanted the best apsc system, without having to carry full frame lenses. I like photography but I like hiking without having my gear weighing me down.

Don't really get why you'd think image quality e.g. on prints would be a concern when print quality isn't bound to sensor size. Most full frame cameras out there have around 24mp, just like most APSC cameras. If you were to have an X-T5, you even have higher pixel density than the average full frame camera like a Sony A7 IV. Of course there are full frame cameras with even more pixels, but they are not the norm, especially not outside of commercial photoshoots.

I think the huge advantage of APSC is that you get a way bigger feature set at a way lower price. Take the Fujifilm X-S20 for example, you get a 26mp sensor with good IBIS, good rolling shutter, 4K60 video, 6k open gate video, 1080p240 slow mo, up to 30 pictures a second in burst, a big battery and a decent screen and viewfinder for €1300. If you look at full frame, you just don't get that for less than double the price and the body weighs 50% more as well. So while you give up some minor lowlight performance and lose a bit of bokeh, you gain way more. People always focus on these two downsides of APSC but never address the upsides you get for the same or lower price. 4K60 and 1080p240 are way more important for video work than a bit lower ISO at lowlight or a tiny bit more creamy backgrounds. Of course, you can get a full frame camera that has all these features while being full frame, but that will set you down 3-4k, not 1.3k.

Overall really good video quality for a small channel, keep it up

Hi, nice video but FIY crop factor will only affect bokeh not light performance of a lens😊

The Viltrox 75mm 1.2 is how I deal with low light :)

The F-stop conversion between full frame and APS-C relates only to depth of field, the light transmission is exactly the same.

I did too from Nikon D850 to fujifilm XT5...and I dont regret it!! It has actually made me a better photographer because you need to be a little bit more precise with light. You can't just under expose something and then save it in post. You actually have to correctly expose your images a little bit better than what you do with full frame, especially the icon I can severely und expose image and still rescue it in post I can't do that on the Fujifilm XT5 I can under expose a little bit it's dynamic range is fantastic, but it's not the D850 and this time has made me a better photographer

Hi Lukas, if you have the opportunity to pick the 14mm f/2, 8 please try, it's underrated because people usually choose the 10-24, but it is one stop brighter, really sharp and easily pocketable. I always take it on my city tours.

Im not a professional photographer but I love shooting. I use Fuji X-S20 paired with TTArtisan 35mm f1.8, and every shot gives me a taste of being a photographer. Just shoot and enhance images a lil bit, and it makes me happy. 😊

A good few years ago now I printed a 4mp image at poster size (around 16in by 20in I think). I made a perfectly acceptable image at viewing distances when stuck on a wall. When compared to a 6in by 4in print of the same image there was an obvious drop off in quality, not surprisingly. However, in isolation stuck on a wall it was more than acceptable.

You just must trow a f1.4, 1.2 or brighter lens on your Fuji X camera and all your low light problems are just gone...

[stephanscharf]

I use both. Fujifilm when I want to go light. Canon 5d Classic when I want to use adapted old glass uncropped or I am in the mood of using hefty and reliable gear and getting these nice classic tones from the 5d.

I had Nikon D850 and D 500. D 500 crop sensor for wildlife. Crop to full frame sensor is one stop of light. Is important not only for low light photography. Is a big different you take a photo with 6400 ISO or one stop less give you 3200 ISO. 3200 ISO is the max I use. In Canyons and forests forget the crop sensor. I took several test shuts on calibration images. I print larger prints. You see the different easy. The lens ranch is much better. Now I have aZ8. Top landscape photographer going with medium format about the details. With the crop you get more depth of field than with larger sensors. I use crop only when my 600 mm lens is not enough to capture a small bird etc. My next additional camera will be a medium sensor 100 Meg. for larger prints and details.

Sehr schönes Video :)
Darf ich fragen, wo du deine Bilder drucken lässt?
VG aus BaWü und schönes WE :)

All your arguments are applicable to: Why not to buy any camera and use a mobile phone instead.

[MikeLikesChannel]

Fuji knows what full frame junkies don’t. You don’t eclipse APSC by going to full frame. You eclipse it by going to crop medium format 😉

Those who claim full frame and medium format aren’t different, *have not shot a medium format Fuji*

[mex]

cuz you're Fuji fan boy, FF is better in every aspect . there is no point for discussion
