    Nice comparison Pete! For me, the lens selection and the price of lenses was a major factor in choosing my X-T3 two years ago. The better quality lenses from other manufacturers where just going to be out of reach for me as an amateur. The used market for Fuji lenses is very good. So, you can get really good glass at reasonable prices if you're patient and keep shopping. AF has always been a point of contention with Fuji bodies and lenses. And, sometimes is the lens that is the issue rather than the body. But, I learned to use back button focus and a single focus point and have done pretty well with it even on the X-T3. So, I imagine it's even better with the new bodies and their AF systems. Thanks for the info, have a great day!

    • @PeteCocoPhoto
      @PeteCocoPhoto  11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks Charlie! The AF in the new Fuji bodies is light years ahead of the XT4 and other older bodies. I've really had little issue with it working great other than wishing it was a bit stickier for sports as I said in the video. Thanks for watching and commenting as always!

    Hey Pete, thanks for this video! Both cameras are pretty interesting, and I think you nailed it covering their pros an cons. Personally I like the looks of the X-T5 and the grip of the R8, the tilting screen of the X-T5 and the fullframe Sensor of the R8. Tough decision!
    The greatest con of the R8 is the crippled design to protect the sales of the R6II and the lens policy of Canon. I shoot mostly street and travel and although I really like the usability and the small size of the R8 (as a fullframe camera), I think I would opt for the X-T5 although I would prefer to shoot with a fullframe sensor.
    Given this, I am very curious about the rumored Nikon Zf fullframe camera😅.

    Hi there! Nice video for me! I have a question about the R8 and XT5. I have a Canon R8 now, but I am planning to change the camera to XT5 cuz the RF lens is so expensive and is not easy to carry. But I'm concerned about the sensor difference. Is APSC ok for daily use? (I never use APSC camera before)

    Coming from, Canon, Sony, Olympus and Leica (background datum). I eventually settled on Fuji as the way I was going. X-T3, X-T30 with lenses. Now I have the X-T,. it seems to me to be the most proficient all rounder. Landscapes, sports, motor sport, studio etc. It just works for me, do it all @ a fantastic price point. The studio curveball is my GFX 50SII, I guess I'm now a committed Fuji Guy. For me the X-T5 is a winner, The Fuji system is a Champion for photography, bang4buck, IMHO. A top of the range Sony, Canon, Nikon, with their best lenses are in the £$ astral-sphere.

    Hi Pete. I agree with your assessment of Canon lenses as to restriction on 3rd party lenses & as to the limited lens choice & cost/expense of Canon top tier lenses. Fuji has more lenses & are much more cost effective. Several of their lenses can rival Canon “L” series glass. I switched years ago from Canon & have not been disappointed.

      Sure that’s a good comparison too. I chose the R8 because it’s the most popular Canon right now and I also wanted to see how the full frame lower res compares with the higher res cropped sensor.

    Hi Pete, currently i have a Canon M50 with few EF-M & EF lenses. After watching several reviews on Fuji XT-5 and fuji lenses lineup, I'm considering about migrating into Fuji system.. what's your ideas about this?

    • @PeteCocoPhoto

      It's the X-T5 for me. The cost is a major factor considering that my main income does not come from photography. It's difficult to justify spending on a full-frame. That and the cost of Fuji lenses are more economical .

      I switched a few weeks ago from Canon RP to an XT-5. It may be confirmation bias after having spent a bunch of money switching brands, but I feel a full frame sensor is a bit overrated for most use cases. Also Canon feels like hospital equipment compared to the XT-5...I felt like picking up the XT-5 to shoot all day long (while I had both bodies) so ended up selling the Canon and a ton of lenses.
      For me the 40mp sensor allows me to crop like crazy (need to upgrade to R5 and spend twice XT-5 money for this privilege on Canon-end)-- I mostly use the 18mm f1.4 and end up cropping to get 35mm eq images with very little loss of quality and this particular fuji lens is phenomenal. I also recently bought the Fuji 100-400 -- it may be one of Fuji's heavier lenses, but buying an equivalent Canon 600mm is not only crazy expensive but significantly heavier. Autofocus is definitely better on Canon, but you can make do with Fuji given it's better at everything else. With AI noise reduction software, I would say that high ISO performance is neck and neck (canon's is a smaller sensor so fewer noise pixels).
      IBIS -- ah it's so great! I don't think I'll "need" a tripod for 80-90% of my stills.
      Today, I am good with my choice with the Fuji and its APS-C sensor. It could change in the future -- but I will still stick with APS-C.
