Hey! I hope you'll reply 🙏 I saw your videos and noticed you have both the X-S20 and the A7III. I sold my A7III two years ago because I was starting to get bored with photography. It produced incredible photos, but I spent an enormous amount of time in post-production, I would even say more time on Lightroom than taking photos... I never really liked its color science, especially for skin tones, which were very hard to manage. Recently, I've been thinking about getting a new camera, but something more fun, and I started to get interested in Fuji and its film simulations. I find the concept great, and for someone like me who no longer wants to spend so much time on Lightroom, it would be quite appealing. Why do you keep both the Fuji and the Sony? I think the appeal of FF cameras isn't as strong these days. The difference in noise in photos isn't as noticeable, nor is the bokeh. And some cameras produce "less pleasing" noise compared to others. However, the weight and size reduction is much more noticeable. Additionally, the price of good FF cameras and lenses has skyrocketed. I'm more worried about the Fuji's autofocus, the Sony was incredible in that area. Best Regards !
Hey! Thanks for reaching out! I keep both the Fuji and the Sony because I need two camera bodies for my UA-cam content. I need Camera A to film Camera B and vice versa. I could use my iPhone as Camera B, but I wasn't satisfied with the iPhone footage and want to deliver higher-quality videos since my channel is about cameras and gear. I've owned many Fujifilm (X-T30, X100V) and Sony (A6000, A7C, A7IV) cameras before. I keep Fujifilm because it's small and compact, allowing me to bring it with me daily and on weekends. Whereas Sony full-frame has great autofocus, and the truth is, I find Sony full-frame image quality definitely sharper if you zoom in. Pair the Sony with a big aperture lens, and the pictures just look "more professional," probably because of the depth of field. Full-frame cameras will always be sharper and have more light due to the larger sensor, but I think this is not needed unless you are doing paid client work (wedding, portraiture). That extra shallow depth of field and sharpness can really impress your clients on the spot. Full-frame also has less noise, but nowadays, noise is not that bad on both FF and APS-C. When it comes to weight and size, Fujifilm definitely wins. Sony is just big and heavy, though the recent Sony cameras are better, like the Sony A7CII, which I have been wanting. Fujifilm's autofocus has improved over time. From my personal experience, my X-S20 performs 75% of the autofocus capability of my Sony A7III. That's just my own metric. I definitely agree with you that the Sony A7III is not the best. I gave up on color grading and usually just hit the auto color button in Lightroom. I'm also thinking about selling my Sony A7III in the near future for something else (A7IV or the A7CII). But seeing you want a camera that will reignite your passion for photography, I would say Fujifilm is the way. With the newer models, you won't miss out too much on autofocus capability, and the color is just so fun and looks great straight out of the camera! Best Regards!
Hey wait first amd cards are not ideal for these task they handle gaming great until turning on ray tracing and they are very good cards until used in content creation like rendering videos or any content creation like video editing photos and don't even think of using blender in it it will seem like waste of money mark my words once try nvidia for content creation bet you will love it ! Totally recomended
Totally get you on the autofocus front with the X-S20. I always feel confident shooting with my Sony A7III, so it's my go-to choice for shooting videos. For me, having fewer dials aligns with a minimalist aesthetic, but having more dials definitely offers better control and easier access, which I appreciate (I used Nikon Z9 for professional work and it was great!)
Also why does your voice sounds a bit like AI at 5:06? Ahh man. Also, Nvidia is better for video playback speed, same goes for intel thanks to integrated graphics.
Nice review! I just got my x-s20 today. Can’t wait to use it!
Hope you enjoy it!
That peak design strap looks nice, hope i can find something it in Australia

I dodged Fujifilm because of worse auto focus than Sony. Also, why would anyone want less dials and buttons? It just makes navigation worse.

Haha, that's the first time I've heard that comment! I think you are right that Nvidia has better performance and optimized over AMD in Premiere.
