Talking with David duChemin, and looking back at our favourite episodes! at TCSTV youtube. It’s a very interesting and entertaining talk. Watch it all. But if you want to know what gear David is using, go to minute 17:50 (hint: X-T2). And what’s the worst camera he has ever used? That will be answered at 20:50 ;)

X-Pro2 Rocks :)

Yes, the Fujifilm X-Pro2 might not sell nowhere near as good as the Fujifilm X-T2, but there are enough people out there, who love it, and prefer it over any other X-series cameras… and I will feature a few of them in today’s mixed zone.

Just one thing could Fujifilm do better: give it as much Kaizen love as to the X-T line. I’m still quite annoyed, that a recent firmware allowed the X-T2 to control ISO with command dial (as it’s possible on X100F), but they did not add this function on the X-Pro2. Seriously Fujifilm… you’ve got to fix this! And let’s hope that Fuji Guy’s Billy fight with Japan for 4K video on X-Pro2 will be successful, too.

Guess what guys?

Yes, the inevitable is happening. People start to compare the brand new Sony A9 with the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-Pro2.

Now, I will say it once for all, so you can avoid to say it in the comments: “These comparisons are all unfair“. :-)

Ok… with that said, here is todays roundup, entirely focused on comparisons (and thoughts) between Sony and Fuji.

Sony Shooter Reviews Fujifilm X-T2

Let’s start with a Fujifilm X-T2 from a Sony APS-C shooter perspective (video above). The reviewer loves the X-T2 a lot. The colors, ACROS, the controls, the better lenses… there seems to be a lot to love on the X-T2 over Sony’s APS-C System.

Check out the video at Fuji X-T2 Review – From a Sony Shooter at The Photo/Video Show Youtube

Sony A9 Vs. Fujifilm X-Pro2 Image Quality

DPreview’s lab test shows that the IQ of the APS-C Fujifilm X-Pro2 can easily keep up with the IQ of the much more expensive FF Sony A9. Actually, X-Pro2 images look noticeably sharper, have way less false colors… overall, IQ on the X-Pro2 seems to be better than on the Sony A9.

However, you buy the Sony A9 for its speed and the black-out less EVF, and I guess A9 owners are ok with sacrificing a bit of IQ for that. The Fujifilm X-Pro2 can’t for sure keep up with the AF-tracking capabilities of the Sony A9 (and also not with the tracking capability of the Fujifilm X-T2).

Fuji X-T2 Electronic Shutter for Sports. As good as Sony A9?

dsphotoblog tested the Fujifilm X-T2 for sports using the electronic shutter. The point of the video is to show that the X-T2 electronic shutter is also really good and give you a EVF-lag-less experience. So he concludes that:

• A9 is overpriced
• A9 mechanical shutter very slow (5fps) whereas the X-T2 shoots at 11fps
• Fujifilm X-T2 better value for money
• with booster grip, also the X-T2 electronic shutter shows no EVF lag
