I have the xt-3 and the Nikon z6iii. The Nikon has good low light performance but so does the Fuji IMO. I never had a problem with low light when shooting raw and processing the photos. The Fuji is easier and more fun to use. It’s smaller and lighter. Both are good cameras but I prefer the Fuji.

I have an xt5, xpro3 and nikon z8. Ive shot numerous photos with all 3 and its very difficult to tell them apart. I will say that the fuji colors are far superior straight out of camera compared to nikon.

At the end of the day a full frame sensor is not just slightly larger than APS-C. It’s 2.6x the area! That’s a huge amount of extra light and you can’t cheat physics. The difference between APS-C and micro four thirds and between full frame and GFX is much smaller. APS-C to full frame is one of the biggest upgrades you can do in terms of light collecting. I can definitely see the difference in photos - there’s a difference in overall character I see even when comparing lenses of equivalent depth of field. In a few days I will be upgrading to full frame (XT3 to Nikon Z6) for the first time because I just couldn’t stand knowing my images could have better quality. Basically I needed to scratch the itch. Have I been brainwashed by marketing? Probably. But I look forward to other little perks like not having to translate my focal lengths to FF equivalent and not worrying about X-trans issues.

Or just sell your Nikon stuff and buy Fuji. It's easy!

I replaced my X-T3 with Nikon Z5 in a sale much cheaper than X-T5. Kept my X100F if they do a medium format version I might bite but GFX lens system is bankrupting. I have some vintage 35mm film camera also. One added bonus if using vintage lens is the numbers don’t change. Those old manual lenses drop the weight even more. I do miss the Acros b+w film recipe though.

I have canon r6 mark ii and fuji xs-20 and I actually find the detail is comparable. Actually the viltrox 27mm f1.2. Is the sharpest lens i own. Its $545 and the only lens that comes close is my rf 50mm 1.2 thats $2300. I can definitely shoot at higher ISO on the Canon. But the noise looks so much better on the Fuji and cleans up better. If I want to shoot low light with a zoom lens I definitely prefer the Canon. But if im with prime lens. I like my fuji better. My current lenses Canon 15-35 f2.8, 24-105 f4, 70-200 f2.8, 50mm f1.2 Fuji viltrox 13mm f1.4, viltrox 27mm f1.2, 16-50 f2.8-4.8, 70-300mm

Is there any way to recreate nikon's dusk/dawn scene mode on the fujifilm x-t20 custom film recipe?

I recently shot a few hundred images during a weekend with a rented Nikon Zf and 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor S lens. Although I did notice improvements in image quality, focusing speed, and accuracy in face and eye detection AF modes, the differences I saw weren't quite as dramatic as what you described. They certainly weren't enough to make me want to dump my Fuji gear. That said, such things are subjective and I am by no means trying to discourage anyone from buying a Nikon Zf--but if someone is having a hard time getting high-quality images from a Fuji XT-5, it's quite likely the photographer and not the camera is the problem.

Mark - dude, this was awesome. I was beginning to think I was a bit crazy and the only one hanging on tight to my two Z6ii's. I'm a photographer in Perth, Western Australia. I shoot all the gigs and events for the lady in the city who has the company for organising these things. I shoot fast moving people, dancing, performing etc. I can shoot up to 1.5 - 2K images per shoot. I'd be lucky to have ten to twenty images where I missed focus. Like you, I absolutely hate the screen on the 6iii - total and absolute deal killer. Like you, I bummed along with Fuji for over a decade. I won't take the time to tell you about all my nightmares with Fuji. I swapped over to my two 6ii's two years ago and everything changed. Customers were commenting on how gorgeous my images were. The lady who hires me noticed the difference, so my business benefited. I despise Fuji now and I am filthy with myself for scabbing it so long with Fuji and wasting all that money and time. Like you, anything bigger than my 6ii's are too big. I love the Nikon Z system and I have 7 of their wonderful lenses. The only thing that worries me Mark, is that when I look at their offering, there are none of their cameras that appeal to me. The only two with the same screen as my 6ii's, are the Z8 and Z9. Both too big, too many megapixels, and too expensive (even the 6iii here is 4.5K for body only)!! The thing I'm concerned about is when my current cameras wear out or become too old, what will l do?

Hi! I’m using a D3400. Did you make any tweak with the standard picture control or you left it as is? Also, have you tried using Neutral or vivid before applying the film simulations? If so, do you have any results to show? Thank you!

you do not seem to know that Nikon is also offering (free of charge) the Nikon Picture Control utility software, allowing you to edit the picture controls.

You should have went to Fuji GFX its so much better then nikon full frame

Fully agree. I’d better invest in good Z lenses.

Hmm. Did you watch the video first?

I don't really see a need to upgrade my Z6 (org) to the 6iii for the foreseeable, particularly also having a Z8

While I was looking to do this with presets in NX Studio, I really like what you did here and even mentioned the overall process.

Rather jealous!!

next video 1000 reasons to upgrade to z6lll

I uesd to shoot and fish the woods what a place in dark and full moon magic place iv had some good times fishing the llan river that runs through the woods and all the memories shooting and fishing with my brother who died in 2009 ant been there since 2004 what a place ❤

Lots of sensible points.

got a Zf and wont upgrade either, nice video

this is way cool. i actually don't even use the nikon samples but mostly because i forget or i prefer it as it is. i find that after trying out different sample or editing, i always come back to the original.

I wish i had money to buy new camera but things are getting hard right now,

Hi Mark, this sounds/looks very interesting. I've been thinking of upgrading my camera to x-t from Nikon D7000 but van find no real justification! BUT... my laptop is a MacBook Pro from early 2013 and NX Studio is apparently not compatible. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

I’ve been a Fuji shooter , and I’m switching over to Nikon as well , Fuji can’t seem to get it right

Late to the party in commenting I know but is this an organised group that holds regular photo walks?

I've wanted to use Daarktable for a while, now that Capture One is changing I'm trying it again. Each time I think I've got it then the next image I'm struggling. This Video has made so much sence of it and made it simple to get going. Well done on a supper video.

Just found a recipe for my OM5 that does Porta 400 pretty damn good. Will look on your website for my zf to see I can find something similar.

Much better results than I expected, nice one Mark and Casio!

What, no paddling or swimming shots? Sorry, forgot, its not safe to swim in Welsh waters...

Thanks for the tips 👍🏻

Can this be done on DSLR like D70?

I want to have a lightweight system. I was considering Fuji x camera (xs20 or xt50). With 16-50, 70-300 lenses. And Viltrox 75 1.2 for portraits. If I were to get into full frame, what lenses and body should I consider?

Only problem is the Nikon Picture Controls does not let you adjust colors in any way besides saturation. I've made several custom picure controls with the Nikon pc app but it's too bad there is no way to tweak the colors.

I move from Fuji APSC to Sony fullframe A7R2 then A7R4, then Fuji GFX100S, GFX has the best image quality but GFX has the worst autofocus system. Fullframe mirrorless regardless of brands (Canon, Nikon or Sony) are still the best camera for hybrid shooters, they have large range of lens selection, best autofocus system.

When I moved from Nikon to Fuji if was very difficult to see any difference in image quality except for jpegs and the Fuji was superior. So pardon me if I do not believe you.

Well there's 3D pop and there's no distortion because you didn't hold the lens in the woman's face, where the nose would have turned longer than it really is. Conclusion : you used the lens to its best ❤❤❤

Your photos look crisp and tight. Good compositions and background blur at 40mm? Wow. Hey, btw, do you know what to say to the other portrait photographers with long lenses? Just tell them their photo probably looks better with you in it! lol. Much love bud ❤️ great job

Sponsored by Nikon.. :)

Many people just want to press the button. Just like GR camera Fuji is the choice.

Very interesting and good to hear you are feeling recovered. Not come across you before, been using Nikon since 1980, D750 plus big sigma art for 6 years and feeling it’s a bit of a beast for what it’s worth compared to friends and families everyday pics from iPhones. Was wondering whether to move to smaller system from someone like Fuji, but hearing this and another thing you made makes me think it’s better to stick with Nikon full frame but see if Z5 can deliver the smaller lighter weight and better in camera output that I’d like, but essential that it can easily match the pictures from the phones.

Excellent video, I've had a Nikon p50 way back and was always impressed by the images it produced. I also liked the optical viewfinder. I have a few CCD cameras in my collection, I've added your channel, it's always good to connect with other retro photographers.

Absolutely love the grading! Thank you so much! 😇

Why didn't you consider GFX GFX blows away Nikon Z CAMERAS ..😂😂YUP ...AND a GFX 100s is cheaper than a Z8 and unless your shooting birds GFX destroys a Z8 for image quality

I wetn GFX 50s ii but kept my XT5...

Excellent video 😊!

Excellent video 😊!

Hi Mark. Good to hear that you are better again. I appreciate your thoughts and why you changed systems. Your arguments for the move to Nikon would be much more clear to me when you would have added just a few comparison images. It is ok to leave Fuji and choose Nikon. I myself owned a Nikon 3 HP in analog times and later on a Nikon D200. I loved them both. God bless and thanks again for your amazing content.

Thank you for this. I am in transition to Nikon and I am struggling to let go of my X-T5 thinking I need it for this type of creative photography. This shows me there are other options.

You couldn’t be more correct with this video 🎯…Just switched from the Fuji XT3 to the Nikon ZF and I’m blown away about the improvement in image quality 💯💯💯
