Curiosity: Fujifilm X-T4 has Better Video Dynamic Range than Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6

Gerald Undone has tested the Canon R5 and Canon R6.

His review focuses mostly on video, so check it out if you are interested in the new Canon cameras (which, as we said, are Canon’s declaration of the death of DSLR’s).

Overall the review is not really that positive, as the new Canon R5 and R6 have some serious limitations, and show one more time that putting stuff into cameras just to decorate the specs sheet, but then making them unusable in real life use, is not a smart way to deal with customers, and this might backfire terribly.

But hey, we Fuji shooters have already a lot of stuff to worry and struggle with in our own little photography X/GFX space, that we won’t talk about the issues with the Canon EOS R5 and R6 here.

But one thing I’d like to mention it.

At minute 6:09, Gerald shares the results of his video dynamic range testings, and he says that the APS-C Fujifilm cameras (such as X-T3 and X-T4) beat the full frame Canon EOS R5 and R6 in this area.

Also, as said in another video shared down below, the Fujifilm X-T4 exhibits less flickering at higher shutter speeds compared to the Canon EOS R5. Also in this video, they confirm the Fujifilm X-T4 is winning in terms of video dynamic range. Since the Canon R5 costs 3 times a Fuji body, he would have hoped for better results.

Not bad for the little (and much more affordable) Fuji’s ;).

So, that’s the little good Fuji news. Now back to complaining about the lack of X-T3 firmware and Co. ;)

Global Shutter: 120+ MP for Fujifilm GFX120 and 31 MP for Fujifilm X-H2?

We are talking since a long time, about the global shutter revolution coming to photography, and even Fujifilm itself talked about it, for example:

Inspired by an email of a reader, I went back to check which kind of global shutter sensors Sony has currently to offer.

Worth to mention and possibly of interest for Fujifilm shooters, are the following two:

  • IMX342LQA-C: 31.49 MP APS-C global shutter sensor and max. 35.4 fps – already reported here
  • IMX661LQA-C: 127 MP Type 3.6″ global shutter sensor and max. 15 fps

Clarifications & Reminders

Now, we know that the Fujifilm X-T4 and the Fujifilm GFX100 use the same sensor, just the one in the GFX100 is about 4 times bigger, hence it has 4 times the megapixel.

We also know that the current Fujifilm GFX sensor is a type 3.4″, hence slightly different than the IMX661LQA-C type 3.6″ listed above.

If we would take the 31 MP APS-C global shutter sensor and make a 3.4″ type of it, we would end up with about 123 megapixel on medium format Fujifilm GFX.

And as a reminder, Sony also released a 43 megapixel stacked APS-C sensor. The same sensor used on the GFX system would result in a 162 MP sensor.

Speculations: Fujifilm GFX120 and Fujifilm X-H2?

Fringer Nikon F to Fujifilm X Smart Autofocus Adapter Prototype – Video Sample

Fringer is currently developing the Nikon F to Fujifilm X smart adapter.

The first engineering sample is now ready and you can see a working prototype in the video above.

It supports electronic aperture control for D, G and E lenses and auto focus for AF-S and AF-P lenses. Like Fringer EF-FX adapters, PDAF works very well on newer X-Trans cameras like Fujifilm X-T3, Fujifilm X-T4, etc.

In the demo video, you will see:

The product is still under development. Time to market is yet unknown.

Make sure to follow FujiRumors to stay up to date and get instant notification as soon as there is any update.

We remind you that also Steelsring announced a Nikon F to Fujifilm X smart adapter development back in May 2018, but they still list it as “coming soon” and no updates have been given in a long while. What we got from Steelsring, though, is the Nikon F to Fujifilm GFX smart adapter, which also has the first customer review at AmazonUS.

Is This Kid Teaching you How to Clean Your Fujifilm Gear, or Her Daddy Looking for Excuses to Buy the Upcoming XF 50mm F1.0? ;)

Here is a little weekend curiosity!

Fellow Fujifilm X-T group member Marrku has shared this video post on the group, where you can see Fuji’s youngest engineer showing you how to clean your Fujifilm gear. In this case I think we have a Fujifilm X-T10 and the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2.

Or wait, maybe it’s a strategy of her daddy. I mean, what better excuse to buy the upcoming Fujinon XF50mm F1.0, then going home and explain to his better half, that the kid destroyed the XF56mmF1.2? ;)

To me, this looks also like a very efficient method to rapidly cool down those Canon EOS R5/6 cameras ;).
