It is really nice to see that you don't just show one brand on your channel.
I try to cover all brands - wasn't that obvious?
Wow, your video is so detail and professional. I feel like watching this on NatGeo or Discovery. I love your voice also ❤️
What a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks very much.
Amazing review! The best one on youtube hands down!
What a pleasure to read your kind comments, thanks!
You're such a great reviewer!! I'll recommend your channel to all of my friends here in the philippines. Kuddos!
Wow, thank you! That's very kind, please say hello to all my friends in the Philippines, if you can do that safely.
Wow this video is soooo helpful. My girlfriend bought this camera today, and I sent her this so it could help her learn her new camera. I have a Sony A7III, and I must say, the image quality from this camera is insane, even though she only has the kit lens, I was genuinely surprised! I would say, this camera is worth the purchase!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for sharing and your kind words.
this is exactly what i needed, such a depth in the review gives full feel of how its like to use the camera
Exactly what I intended, thanks for your kind words.
When I'm curious about a new camera, I watch the litany of camera reviews on youtube. When I want to make a buying decision, I come to this channel. Bar none most in-depth reviews I've come across
A real pleasure to read your kind words, thanks!!!
Wowww sir! This is the best piece of art created surrounding the X-A7. Lots of love. Hope you're healthy and safe!
Bless you. ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊😊🙏🌻🇮🇳
Thanks, a pleasure to read your kind words.
This is the most brilliant review for XA-7 thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting.
This is the kind of review i always wanted to see specially regarding this x-a7.
Thanks. It is the only kind of review I make.
Best video covering the XA7 !
That's very kind of you to say, thanks!!!
I love your reviews. So full of detail and a pleasure to watch!
Thank you so much! A pleasure to read your kind words.
Thank you so much! I am lucky to come across your video. I recently switched to Fuji X-A7, and your review gives a whole new dimension to the possibilities that it has to offer.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Congratulations on another thorough review, I find them incredibly useful and friendly. Thank you.
I appreciate your kind words, and am happy to know that I've succeeded with the goals I set for my videos.
I bought myself ny first camera from this review. Thank you
Great to hear! Always nice to read comments from an appreciative viewer.
Excellent review, Maarten. Subbed!
I'm in the exact demographic that Fuji is targeting with this camera; to a newbie, this camera seems as a great step up from smartphone photography & it feels that it excels at what it is supposed to offer.
In retrospect, I've always had a soft spot for Fuji's image quality; I've done some research in the past and the photos I usually gravitate the most are the straight JPEG variants from those Fuji. Initially, route
Thank you & all the best!
Always nice to hear that you've found a camera that pleases. Thanks for your kind words.
This is the exact video I’ve been looking for, thank you!
I’ll have to take notes on my second watch through 😅
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind words.
Thanks so much for this much needed in depth information.
Always nice to know that viewers appreciate my content, thanks!
It is wonderful to see a man of your age to be an exceptional youtuber. Only one questionn since you have felt them both in the hands. M50 vs X-A7 build quality. And how much better? I do thank you in advance.
They are both inexpensive cameras, so you get what you pay for. I'd judge the X-A7 as slightly superior.
I really enjoyed this video, I came to find an opinion on whether I should buy this camera, but I stayed for the wholesome
What a pleasure to read your kind words. Always nice to know my videos are helpful and appreciated.
As always, great reviews. For high school yearbook photographers, would you recommend this, the Canon M50, or the Canon T8I?
For formal portraits or for casual candids around school?
Thank you for this useful information. It's very extensive and detailed.
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate your kind words, thanks!!
I bought my first camera baby.. the black one. And i'm glad that i watched your review yesterday about the cam. Subscribed aldready sir😊 Kiddos to you sir. And i will ask if what is your recommended tripod for this cam?
Thanks for the kind words. For tripods, you'll need to specifiy if you're shooting stills or video,; whether you're travelling a lot or relatively static; and what kind of shoots you're planning - night sky, blurred waterfalls ???
Aside from the "beginner," this is for those whom have become accustom to shooting on the big-small screen (who isn't?), but always wished they were not handicapped by a tiny sensor (and not limited to software shenanigans). The XA-7 is a base model Toyota Camery (eh?...eh?). Point and Shoot A to Point and Shoot B; but with the capability to go somewhere unexpected. This, coming from a former XT-2, XH-1, XT-30 and GFX owner.
Thanks for adding your thoughts.
Planning to get this with the 35mm f2, vs the m200 with the 22mm f2, both would also have kits, heard Fuji's kit is better than Canon or Sony kits
That would be my assessment. In general Fujifilm's kit lenses tend to be of higher quality (15-45 is the exception).
Brilliant video thank you. Thinking of purchasing the camera and will definitely subscribe. 👍🏼
Awesome, thank you! Always nice to know my work is appreciated.
Thank you for your review, your voice is very calm i love it, especially the photo samples! They’re really good pictures. I have a question though about the tones and film simulation, compared to the xt100 which one is better in your opinion? Or are they not that much difference?
I tried scrolling to see similar questions in case someone asked this already, but the comment I found is regarding the zoom quality. Would really love the input, thank you againn
I appreciate your kind words, thanks! They are very similar, I would not be able to tell them apart from the images only.
Wow, this was the best detailed reviews I've seen on this particular model! I am debating between this X A7 or the Canon EOS 250D. Primarily using more for photos over video. Beginner camera but looking to grow with one. Any help with deciding between those 2 cameras? Thanks!!
While either would be a good choice (and I have not reviewed the 250D/SL3) the X-A7 provides lots of good beginner functionality - but the 250D likely has more potential.
You are the Joe Friday of reviewers, the facts just the facts. Your the best! Question; If I use a lens that has aperture control dial can I reassign one of the camera dials for ISO?
I thought I did throw an occasional opinion in there?
The ISO can be assigned to custom function keys.
Excellent... How a review should be... Simple and detailed 👏👏🔥👌
Thanks a bunch, always nice to read such nice comments.
Love your videos! Would you recommend the fuji x-a7 over the fuji x-t100 for a beginner? I want a camera that I can grow with but will also be good for social media! The fuji x-t200 is unfortunately a bit out of my price range.
They are both fine entry-level cameras.
Ur channel is the best best best on reviewing camera. It so helpfull thank u so much sir
So nice to know my work is appreciated, thanks!!
hello sir. your videos are very helpful to me.
sir i have a question before buying it.
does it have any heating issue while 4k video rec.
i just have to shot some music videos and im getting a deal under 400$.
Yes. If your purpose is video, this is not a good choice. Consider the X-T3 or X-T4 instead, they are superior video models in every way.
@@MaartenHeilbron well thank you sir. aaaahem
Thank you so much for such an explanatory review! I'm looking for a beginner's #mirrorless #camera. Your review has helped me made my decision. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind words.
Yesterday i buy this device sir really excellent
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Hello, does this camera overheat if record 4K for an 60minutes by preressing Record each 15 minutes? If Overheat due battery I can change it to adapter battery. Want to pick this camera for vlog versus Canon M50, per it's stanning image against Canon, but somtimes I am recording shows and 15 minutes too low, but no problem to click Record again, but I afraid to get overheat, how real is it , specially in Full HD? Hope it is nothing like Panagonic GX880
Thanks )
Any small camera will overheat, it's impossible to predict how quickly as it's dependent on the ambient temperature. If you need to record 4K video continuously for 60 minutes, do not purchase this camera.
Look at a larger camera like the Fujifilm X-H1, or X-T3.
Your demo images are "INCREDIBLE," one could relish them in this forum as well as Insta. or any other social media platform. Needless to say, the review is through and up the usual high Maarten Heilbron standard. Your videos cleverly "kills two birds" with one stone, in that they are review as much as tutorial. My 7 year old Fujifilm X10 is acting-up, I am thus looking for a compact camera with touch screen and fixed zoom or inter changeable lens, this is a solid candidate, won't you say?
I would prefer that no birds be harmed, and that clearly was not the intention of this video. Otherwise, your kind words are appreciated. Yes, a good candidate.
I really like all your reviews! quality stuff
That's very kind of you to comments, thanks!!
At this age, i really to be as passionate and energetic as you.
I think that's meant as a compliment, so - Thanks!!
Thank you for the review.
I am looking for a camera to replace my Nikon D3200 with compact size, good picture quality (especially skin tones and low light performance), accurate af, touchscreen and 4k recording. Is this the best match in this price range or is there some other model I should look into?
This is a good choice, but if you're familiar with Nikon, look at the Z50: ua-cam.com/video/cXDw5wAtUYM/v-deo.html
Thank you for that informative detailed video. I was rather impressed with the video stabilisation. I first noticed this camera because of the Camel colour 😊. Certainly tempting,
Thanks, a pleasure to read your kind words.
@@MaartenHeilbron My pleasure
Maarten, wonderful review as always. Btw, you have uncanny resemblance with Christoph Waltz.
Thanks, but why uncanny?
Amazing review sir
I am confused between xa7 and xt100 which is better in your opinion?
I don't have a preference here - you should decide based on which fits your hand and your wallet best.
Thank you for your excellent in depth review. I love your videos. I'm more certain about XA7 now. I've been using Canon SL1/100D for years. While I love the small form factor and Canon's color production, I've always been dissapointed with its lowlight performance as I usually can't bring the iso higher than 800. Seeing your lowlight photo samples on XA7, it looks really good. In your experience is it the best lowlight performance for that price range (budget/beginner camera)? And is the fuji XC 15-45 kit lens better than Canon's mirrorless kit lens? I would really appreciate your opinions on this 🙏 thanks before!
I don't have the tools to do that kind of detail - check at dpreview where they do. As for the 15-45mm lens, I'd avoid it as it's Fujifilm's least desirable lens. The 18-55 is the better choice.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you for your reply!
Hi Maarten, what a great video - so glad I found it. At 12:12 you mention a ND filter, can I ask which one you are using? I'm a complete camera novice, so any help would be gratefully received - I'm sure lie most thing this could take a whole video, so just pointing me in the right direction would be terrific. If you need to know how to play a C9 chord, I'm your man, but not so much with cameras! Thanks in advance, Simon
My only recommendation (as the most important factor is the filter diameter you need) is to avoid variable ND. They tend to have more colour cast than the fixed ND type, and they have a tendency to inadvertently change the setting. The brand I like and use is B+W bhpho.to/2BSGtyk
For most video work 3-5 stops is suitable for bright sunlit scenes.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you so much Maarten, very kind of you to reply. All the best, Simon
you're a genius ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind words and emojis!
Awesome review Maarten, nicely put together. I use my Sony A6000 for occasional vlogging (say once a month, and usually indoors). Would the X-A7 ($530) or the X-T200 ($660) be worthy upgrades to the A6000? If yes, which one do you recommend given my usage?
Thanks for the kind words. I would not use either for any serious video work.
Been looking at the EOS RP but is hesitant due to investing in the RF lens vs cost. Saw Fujifilm and wanting to test the ecosystem. The X-A7 seems to be the sweet spot for what I want/willing to spend vs what I would get and fun factor (that 16:9 swivel screen looks awesome). I have also looked at the Canon M-50 as well as the M-100 and M-200. I would get a good 50mm and 35mm (APS-C equivalent) lenses on the ecosystem I end up going for. Any advise?
Those cameras are very different in price and capability. Get the best you can afford, prioritize lenses over bodies.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you so much!
Thanks for the in depth review.
Always my pleasure, and thanks for your kind words.
Tnx for a such video.
Most welcome, I appreciate your kind words.
Easily explained on point🙏
Thanks, a pleasure to read your kind words.
Great reviews!!! Does it overheat in 4k video mode? I am considering xe3 xt200 or xa7, are all of them have the overheating problem in 4k?
Every small camera overheats in 4K mode. This more than most.
Maarten, Great review. I am mostly interested in using this camera behind a teleprompter. Have you found a good AC supply for this model?
Any USB-C type will power the camera
Hi! Thats a great video tho! Btw, may i know if you could help with my camera choice. Im torn between XA7 and XT20. Im a beginner in photography. I was into XT20 at first but im afraid im overwhelmed to see the 3 dials and dont know how to use it. Is XT20 suggested for a beginner like me or just buy the XA7?
Don't worry about the dials, they all have "auto" positions so you don't need to worry about them. I would recommend the X-T20 as the more capable model.
Vous utilisez quelle caméra 📷 pour filmer ce beau vidéo svp?
Cette vidéo a été enregistrée avec le Fujifilm X-H1 et l'objectif 16-55 mm. Merci pour vos mots gentils.
Great review and tutorial as always! Could you tell me if I can change the metering mode? I could not find it in the camera.
Right. It's called photometry in the menu and it's not available when face detection is on.
Thanks for your kind words.
I like your review sir. Greeting from Najaf, Iraq
Thanks, always nice to know. Please say hello to all my friends in Iraq.
Fujifilm X-A7 vs Canon M50 for uploading to YT and streaming on Twitch?
I'm gearing towards the newer Fuji camera because of superior 4k uncropped and value with all lens comparability.
But Canon's AF is the best in the business. I will mainly be creating 1080p to 1440p/2K videos though. I can't decide, penny for your thoughts?
I would not agree that Canon's focus is the best. They use the same phase detect system as others - they've just been better at marketing it with a fancy pseudo-tech name. Either way, both cameras are good. There is little advantage to an uncropped 4K mode and no-one on youtube or twitch would notice any difference.
Wow! That's a really good in depth camera settings review! I'm a beginner and looking to buy fujifilm xt200 or xa7.. I'm inclined towards the xt200 because it's package with the 15 to 45mm and the 230mm lens... I think I'll learn better having two lenses.. again since I'm an amateur.. all I know I buying lenses would be expensive. But the XA7 is cheaper for me.. I'm really confused.
I like depth of field in my pictures and that's why I feel the 230mm lens is important to me. Any suggestions?
Buy the X-T200 with the 23mm lens. Leave the 15-45 (it's not very good) and buy another better lens later.
I've been trying to figure out what camera to purchase, and I found your channel while looking for reviews. I really enjoy your reviews and find them super helpful! I had been looking at the Fujifilm X-A5 and the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III. Your review helped me eliminate the Olympus from my options. My budget is really more along the lines of those two (under $500 USD), but now I'm wondering if there is enough of an improvement in the X-A7 to wait until I have more money to spend. What do you think? Or do you think there is a better option? (If it makes a difference, I have an old Canon Rebel T3, so I'm not just coming from a phone camera, but I also wouldn't say I'm a super advanced/experienced photographer.)
What is there about the T3 that is no longer satisfying? What are you hoping for as an improvement with a new camera?
@@MaartenHeilbron I'm really just looking for something smaller and lighter. The longer I have the T3, the more it gets left at home because i just don't want to carry it around. Something with better video quality would be nice, though I don't shoot a ton of video. Also, at this point, my phone can take better quality photos than the T3 with a lot less effort.
@@nickimount9620 So, why not just use the phone?
Hello Sir, I am having a very hard time choosing between Fujifilm XT-100 And XA7. Which 1 should i buy? My priority is photography.
The one that fits your hand and wallet the best, the quality is about the same.
How is the overall build quality of this camera? Is it good enough to last long?
Which camera shall I choose Fuji XA7 or XT100 or Canon M50? or shall I wait for XT200?
I like the ability to charge battery over usb port which makes it more portable which is missing in M50.
I don't know. I return the cameras after the review. When they're new, for the first 3-4 weeks they nearly all seem good.
This was so much helpful
Always nice to know that my videos are helpful and appreciated, thanks.
Best review
I appreciate your kind words, thanks!!
Very informative. Thank you. Can you please tell me how to remove the time and date setting from the photo?
It is called Date Stamp in the Save Data Settings on the Setup tab.
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.
Thanks for the crystal clear review...👍✌️
Can we charge it through powerbank while shooting ?
No, it does not charge while powered up.
You could run it off a power bank with a USB-C dummy battery.
I run mine into a power adapter when I’m using it for Zoom meetings.
@@jackdobinson good tip
canon m200 or fujifilm xa7 which one is better
I give up - which one?
What to chose, is it vise going for X-T30 or should I save money, get X-A7 and buy better lenses?
Take the X-T30.
Just watched this when trying to find a everyday pocket camera and I like your style of presenting. I am not a v logger and my focus is on stills. But sometimes it is nice to be able to make a short video. Anyway, I hold an X-T1 in my hands and now hope a x-80 will come out asap. I the meantime I consider Ricoh GR3 or the old x-70 as a pocket camera, but I wonder if you can suggest another model ?
You might consider the X100V, it's a favourite of many. ua-cam.com/video/KrBgtEkoxk4/v-deo.html
@@MaartenHeilbron Mahalo Maarten for your speedy reply, i will check it out!
Way too expensive!
Understood
Mr Heilbron.i read all your reviews you are the very best Xt2 or XS10 which you prefer
Both are good choices - depends which one feels more comfortable in your hand, and what kind of control configuration you prefer.
Hello sir.
Nice review but if u were to choose between sony a6400 and this fuji ax7 which one is nice quality for you. ? I mean quality when it comes to videography and photography....
Although I would judge the quality to be similar (and Fujifilm offers better lenses at lower prices than Sony), the A6400 is by a good margin the better camera. Particularly for video.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank u very much sir.... 😇
@@samuraisammy1422 i am always happy to help
Fuji X-A7 or Sony a5100/6000?
Please suggest!
Required purely for amateur photography.
The X-A7 is a little more fun.

Do not buy this camera if you purpose is video. Consider the X-T3 or X-T4.

Thank you for this video review, Maarten. May you please inform me if this camera has a macro mode? Thank you.
I'm not sure what you mean by macro mode. If you want to take macro images, you'll need a lens that has the appropriate magnification and ability to focus at close distances. Fujifilm makes several good macro lenses, and there are some good third party lenses as well: ua-cam.com/video/swyrIJ0JSjs/v-deo.html
Maarten Heilbron Ok. Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I appreciate it. Have a great day! 😊
@@shanekahowellmivida9812 Always happy to help.
@@MaartenHeilbron I'm wondering if there is a focus bracketing mode to do focus stacking automatically?
@@dejayrezme8617 There is not, but it's not a difficult process when using photoshop.
Hello Maarten. I wonder if you would care to share your thoughts on the built-in mic? Is it up to the job? I realise that serious vloggers will go for an external mic but how does the internal mic perform? Thanks.
I'd be happy to share my thoughts, which apply to all consumer cameras. Don't use the internal mic for any serious purpose, except maybe for background ambiance. The mic is an inexpensive low quality component, and you'lll place the camera in the right place for images, not sound. So, it cannot possibly be any good.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks Maarten, the addition of a Rode VideoMicro has made quite a difference.
@@63qxy Thanks for the update, glad to hear.
Confused b/w xa7 and xt200.. EVF is the only difference and how useful is it? This will be my first camera and I'm bit confused. I need it mostly for photos.. Videos will be rare.. Please advise..
I would suggest that's not a question I can answer for you. If you are content to shoot with just the LCD, then you don't need the EVF. I prefer a camera with an EVF as it provides additional stability and doesn't get washed out in bright sunlight.
Superb review
Thank you 🙂
I love this!
Always nice to hear from an appreciative viewer, thanks!!!
Thanks sir for this detailed review, i got a7 in just $350 on olx. Can you share any settings for more vivid colours, they're neutral, but i like more punchy colours.
Use the velvia film simulation and if you want even more saturated colours, increase the Color setting. One trick to generally more saturated colours is to slightly underexpose an image.
I really like the Minimalistic design on this and the xe3.
Which one should i go for, also i need it mainly for personal photography.
The X-E3 would be my choice, I like the design and form factor better. Quality about the same.
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks
Great review 👌
Thanks! 👍
Hi sir i am planing to buy fuji A 7 this week . Is there any option for saving a custom settings in still and video modes.. i will be waiting for your reply. Thank you
Some settings can be saved, but not modes like stills and video.
Namaste Sir , Can you please create a video for light trail and time lapsed function of XA7.
Thanks & Regards
The technique for light trails are not different for this camera, there are lots of videos on UA-cam to demonstrate. for time lapse, just follow the menu prompts with settings you need - this will take some experimentation depending on what you are recording.
@@MaartenHeilbron Yes I know How to trail and seen many videos but I am failing to take a clear image with light trail specially image of a human. Please if you can give some tips at least if video is not feasible.
If the image isn't clear, your camera isn't steady. You might need a better tripod, or to suspend a weight to stop it from moving.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for the response and knowledge sharing. I wil try the way you suggested.
Hi, thanks for this video , i just bought my fujifilm X-a7, but the audio with my mic
is not working , im using BOYA BYMM1...hope you can help me..thanks in advance
I don't know that mic, sorry. Are you using the Fujifilm supplied adapter to connect? In my experience, others don't all work.
Thanks a lot.. appreciated..
Happy to be part of your channel.. expect to watch your upcoming videos too
Sir,
I'm from India I need a camera with some good photography and videography at the same time
I was considering nikond3500, canon 1500D, Fujifilm xt100,FF xa7 what would you suggest for me?
These are all good general purpose cameras suitable for beginners. In that category, I currently suggest the Fujifilm X-S10 (or X-T30). The Sony A6100 is also a good choice.
How to turn on flash in video recording
That is not an option. You'll need an external continuous light for video.
So I've been thinking of getting a camera to transition from phone to camera which would be better XA7 or XT200?
They would be about the same.
Hi...first of all, thanks for the detailed review.
My current camera is a Canon 550D/T2i which I had purchased in October, 2012. I have two lenses apart from the 18-55mm i.e. the 55-250 and the 50mm. Is there a way to use these lenses with the Fuji X-A7? Thanks in advance for the reply.🙏
Thanks, it was a pleasure to read your kind words. If there is an adapter (pretty sure there would be) it would not offer you the capabilities (auto focus, auto aperture) that the native x-mount lenses do.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for the reply. I did check online to see if there are any adapters and indeed there are a few of them. But as you rightly pointed out, nothing like having a native lens.
I want a nice travel camera and will mostly shoot in JPEG format..would you suggest A7 over T100??
Sure, but only because it's newer. They're about equal in quality.
@@MaartenHeilbron wow you really replied..thanks😊😊👍
@@SaddamAnsari12 I always reply.
Hi Maarten, I am a beginner interested in making vlogs. If I purchase this camera, what is the best choice of lenses?
A wider lens with a large aperture is best. The 23mmF2 is a good choice.
what about overheating problem xa7 , the issue is got xt3 , xt4 xt200 whats about xa7 in continues video recording Please reply me sir
Like most small cameras it overheats, and it has time limits. If you need a serious video camera, best look elsewhere.
At 1080p 60fps video , for how much time it stands 🙄🙄🙄
As long as the camera doesn't overheat - 30 minutes.

I was looking for a detailed review of XA7.I m confused between canon m50 and fuji xa7.can u suggest the better one between these 2 ??
Here's my review of the M50 to help with our decision ua-cam.com/video/nXequtdHMBg/v-deo.html
Thanks for this tutorial. But I don't understand why my X-A7 menu does not have the 'focus check' function as you highlighted on 15:13? It is a new camera with the latest firmware installed 1.01 Any idea?
Oh, found it. No worries. Thanks.
Glad to hear, thanks for the update.
Sir I am little bit confused. Fujifilm xa7 or any nikon product of the same range.
Please help.
I appreciate your confusion - there are many factors to consider. Why do you not find the X-A7 suitable? Feels like it would be a good choice to me.
Fujifilm xa7 , canon m200 which is good
Both are good.
@@MaartenHeilbron
I can't able to buy both.I need to select one.😄. could you please help me to choose one
@@vikaspalat Then just buy one. They are both good.
Hi am an entry level photographer and would love to cultivate myself more into taking lifelike pictures would you recommend me this one or any other
I can recommend this and another camera that has an APS-C or larger sensor, save RAW files, include a viewfinder and interchangeable lenses, as well as full manual controls of shutter and aperture as well as focus.
Hey, I am looking for a beginner's camera. Probably a budget camera and I dropped by this model. It looks and appears to be super, but still confused between xa7 and xt100. can you please help out choose between the two?
What are your photo intentions? What is making you confused? Either is fine, use your wallet, hand (fit) and heart to decide.
@@MaartenHeilbron I love using an optical viewfinder. But xa7 lacks it. Budget is not an isuue, But the risk is, because it'll be my first camera. Moreover cheap dslrs attract when I think of limiting budget. Xt100 doesn't lock the focus on the moving objects efficiently whereas a Sony a6000 does. I'm wavering alot. Please guide me and provide a few steps to decide.
@@kashishkochhar4085 If this is your first camera, why do you "love" an optical viewfinder? You won't find one in any of the models you mention - you'll need a DSLR, not mirrorless. Sounds like you're leaning to the Sony for the tracking, that's a good rationale.
Does view finder matter in cameras?
What's the use of it?
It does to many people. Using the viewfinder steadies the camera in a way that the LCD cannot. The viewfinder is often easier to see in bright situations and helps to concentrate one's attention.
