UPDATE – A FAIR TEST?: “I Am Shocked. Fuji X-T2 Beats Sony A7RII” – Dynamic Range/Shadow Recovery Test by Tony Northrup

Tony Northrup continues his X-T2 coverage on Twitter. This time he compared the Fujifilm X-T2 with the Sony A7rII and Nikon D810 dynamic range/shadow recovery capabilities.

The Nikon D810 is the winner, but Tony Northrup was “shocked” when he realized that the APS-C Fuji X-T2 performed better then the Sony A7rII. See his Tweet here.

UPDATE: As Rico said in the comments:

“Tony was shooting the T2 at ISO 100, giving it a head-start of 1 EV. […] OTOH, the shutter speed of the T2 is faster than the 7rII. Another big no-no […].

DR testing is all about setting the different cameras to identical ISO/F/SS levels under a calibrated light source, then pushing the underexposed results up to normalized brightness levels with a RAW converter. THEN compare noise and artifacts, and make sure that your RAW converter doesn’t try to be too “smart” by applying different hidden input profiles.”

Oh, and after the critics regarding his recent X-T2 Vs. Canon 5DS-R comparison (where the X-T2 turned out to be sharper), he repeated the test in studio, no backlight, tripod, whatever… whatever he did, the images of the X-T2 (scaled to 50MP) are always sharper. Tweet here.

And yet another X-TransII camera has been discontinued by Fujifilm… and it’s Fuji’s most successful camera so far: the Fujifilm X-T1! Go to Fuji’s official Japanese site here, and you’ll read that the “production has ended“.

The only X-TransII cameras still in production at this stage, are the Fujifilm X100T, the Fujifilm X70 and the X-E2s.

Fujifilm X-T10 Discontinued (as well as the X-E2)… Fujifilm X-T20 Coming?

Share

fuji-x-t10-discontinued

Fujifilm X-T10 discontinued (as well as X-E2)

The production of the Fujifilm X-T10 has ended. The camera is now officially discontinued – See Fujifilm Japan. The Fuji X-T10 is quite a successful camera for Fujifilm, so the replacement, the Fujifilm X-T20, will come for sure… sooner or later.

Also the Fujifilm X-E2 is now officially discontinued (see here). Not a big surprise, since Fujifilm released the X-E2s. But will there ever be an X-E3?

Fuji X “Magic”: T. Northrup Compares Sharpness of Canon 5DS-R (FF 50MP) Vs. X-T2 (Scaled to 50MP), and he’s “Blown Away”!

Fuji X-T2 (24MP APS-C X-TransIII) Vs. Canon 5DS-R (Full Frame 50MP)

_ _ _

Tony Northrup is working on his X-T2 Review and he’s sharing some tidbits now and then on Twitter. And here are some that will make you happy :)

SHARPNESS

He compared the APS-C 24MP X-TransIII Fujifilm X-T2 with the Full Frame 50MP Canon 5DS-R. You can see the results in this tweet. Tony’s comment:

Fuji X-T2 (scaled to 50MP)+50-140 vs Canon 5DS-R+70-200. Not a lab test, but blown away by the sharpness

Must be the result of Fuji’s magic trinity: Awesome Glass + X-Trans sensor + X-Processor!

EYE DETECTION

eyed

Here is Tony Northrup’s comment on Twitter regarding Eye Detection:

Fuji X-T2 & 50-140 vs Nikon D7200 & Sigma 50-100 f/1.8. Fuji wins again. Eye detection only works ~60%

AF-SPEED

And how does the AF perform? Here is Tony’s comment on Twitter:

Shot a soccer game with the @FujifilmUS XT-2 + 50-140 f/2.8. LOVED it! Slower focus than a D500, but silent, higher frame rate, EVF.

Please Note that Tony didn’t test the X-T2 with Vertical Grip attached. So I allowed myself to make a comment on Twitter, reminding Tony that the Vertical Grip not only gives more juice to the X-T2, but also improves it’s performance.

Some numbers:

Without vertical grip, the EVF of the X-T2 is in black-out for 65% of the time (at 5fps). However, with the vertical grip set to boost mode, the EVF of the X-T2 is in black-out for 57% of the time.

That’s a difference of 8%.

During black-out, the camera is busy with the creation of the digital image, and can not make any AF-tracking measurments. This means that, with the Grip attached, the camera has 8% more time to calculate data and track the subject… and 8% in sports photography can make the difference between a keeper and an out of focus image.

I know Tony Northrup puts all his effort and a lot of time in his reviews. I just allow myself this little note, so that his test can be even more accurate… and the AF of the X-T2 that he already loves, will eventually make him even happier :-).

And thanks to Ken (twitter) for the links he send me via Twitter
