    Fellow old man here, who is seriously considering a switch to gently used A6400 and A7C cameras. I've owned every Fuji XE model (love the viewfinder on the top left but never could justify the cost of an X-Pro model) and currently use an X-H1. Enjoy the older Fuji lenses - 35mm 1.4 is my all-time favorite of any brand - but I'm getting more into wildlife and the Sony autofocus is amazing. Plus, I also have old-man vision. The A7C, with its viewfinder position and exposure compensation control, is similar to a Fuji. The A6400 feels great in my hands and I'm looking at one at a nice price. I enjoy your videos - your walks and your talks. Thanks!

    This video made me thankful for 2 things: 1: I stopped trying to get paid work 2. Switching to the Sony A7C 4 years ago (or whenever it first came out). Paying clients are a pain in the ass and suck all the joy out of photography for me. The A7C is so damn easy to use and switch between video and photo effortlessly, while getting top quality results. Whatever I can’t get with the 24-70 2.8 G lens, I can get with the 70-200 2.8 G. One system, 2 lenses, life is good.

    I appreciate your demeanor more than I care about what camera brands you use, so I'll stay. I'm an old Sony shooter and I found your channel when I tried switching to Fuji in late 2023. It didn't work for me, so I went back to Sony shortly thereafter. So now that you're also switching to Sony, I'm even happier to be a subscriber.

    Stayed with my Sony's while you went Fuji for a while. Glad you're back. I want a 6700 but wife nixed it in favor of her trip to Vietnam with gf. Will go forward happily with my antique a5100s.
    Enjoyed the show. Cheers

    I feel you. I have map dot dystrophy and I too need accurate focus. I rented the Fuji and it didn’t work for me. I use the a7 IV and it works well.
    I am 68 and qualify with the old man part

    I'm sticking around for your comments and conversation. The devices we use have a lens and sensor. We produce pictures on screen and print. So, what we have in common is far more than our differences.
    I'll save the age, aches, and pains for another post.

    Hi, Moe! I found you through Omar’s channel. ( I used to work with his wife in RP) I use the Sony A7cii because of its size and stellar focusing. I originally was a Canon shooter for 50 years, but the inability to obtain third party lenses caused me to switch. It will be great to follow your NJ travels!

    I appreciate the candidness. While I will miss your insight/experience with the fujii equipment, I will still look forward to your walks and your talks. Much respect for the beard and the wisdom behind it.
    (I did just buy the Fuji X-H2 and I'm really enjoying the video recording. Still using my X-T3 for street photos.)

    I'm seriously considering going back to Nikon.
    2 reasons really.
    1. auto focus. 2. Adapting old glass at the intended focal length.
    But two things keep me in Fuji.
    1. $. 2. size.

    Old man channel - I'm with you :). On Fuji: I first bought the X-T20, then X-T3 and X-T5. Those 3 have been my cameras for all my weddings and shooting almost always AF-S, no eye or face detect, I have very few missed frames. So, while I of course acknowledge the AF issues, I have very seldom run into them myself. But, I see reasons for switching.

  • @Photographysoup
    @Photographysoup 26 днів тому +1

    Nah I’m going no where! Shoot what ever you want. I’m a fujifilm guy but I’m in the same boat as you, as a professional I can’t be worrying about anything and when I’m paying 1500 for a camera body for it not to operate appropriately and I have to work around I.e. manual focusing to make sure I get focus when other camera brands are killing it with auto focus. Personally I’m switching to Nikon ZF keep within my comfort zone get those 1.4 primes with a bit more of a character look to them I think I’ll be right at home with Nikon as the same as Fuji.

    I feeling that back pain comment..literally. Also when I'm shooting something I have million things to worry about I don't want AF to be one of them. The false positive of Fuji is especially concerning. I've taken 1000s of photos this year with my Sonys, it only missed when the situation was impossible OR user error.

    Your claim about fanboys is spot on. I was a huge fan too and although I'm still using the X-T5, they completely lost me. On top of that fanboys that shoot landscape will tell you "you're using it wrong" while you're shooting action on some broken firmware and complaining about it. And it was in fact broken as we now know. If you complain about AF-S issues on landscape, you are again using it wrong, because you don't use the workaround with MF + BBF. Their software is fundamentally flawed and they are patching it each generation by throwing faster hardware at it.
