“It should inspire you to go out and shoot, instead of telling strangers on the internet what the numbers on the box says...” 🤣🤣

I love the Bokeh on the RX1R. The Fuji is great, but the pictures of the Sony are just amazing.

That was a good comparison with excellent photos taken from both cameras (sadly lacking from many other reviewers). Thank you

Mattias, awesome as always! Love you man! I'm still in love with my X-Pro1 and K mount Glass.

100% right. (about buying a camera that makes you want to shoot) I ditched Sony as my carryaround for the Olympus em10 mark 2, but now Ive just sold that for the Olympus EM5 mark 2. It has that flippy screen that I know both you and I arent a fan of. But I LOVE how the buttons and dials feel under my fingers.

I Appreciate what your doing. Thank you sooo much for helping me pick a better camera. Please keep making these videos. I like how they’re simple and straightforward.

You realy have your own way of reviewing. I love it!

My wife knows who's inspiring me to pile cameras at home so beware my dear friend :)

Great vid with deep thoughts and explainations, I tend to agree with what you said about the general shooting experience and how important it is above the specs and technical comparisons

telling strangers whats on the box. it says the courier name for mine haha. another beautiful review matias. i look at every video for your photos. I get inspired by it.

Love how u summed up the review!

I agree with what you said starting on 7:50. I used to shoot with Canon 70D, 50mm stm, and 10-22mm. Before I was about to shift to mirrorless, all the signs say I should switch to Sony a6300 and the line. Specs and paper wise, it's better for what I do; photo and video. But the Fujifilm XT1 has been my dream camera even before it came out. All the articles and video say how crappy it is for video. Both sony and fuji have expensive native lenses, but I can use my canon lenses on Sony with an adapter and would still be able to use autofocus. I have held the XT10 on my hands before and it felt like magic. When my friend's Sony a6300 arrived. I had the chance to hold it and use it as well. But I didn't feel any connection. It felt like I was just holding another computerised machine. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's bad. It's actually very good. When I used its viewfinder, I love the brightness of the focus peaking, but I didn't like the viewfinder itself. It felt small and just okay. So I got an XT1. And boy when I first held it in my hands, there was a connection. It was magical and natural. When I turned it on and looked through the viewfinder, I fell in love even more. It was big, bright, accurate, and beautiful. The only thing it lacked was the brightness of the focus peaking like what the Sony has. Now, I'm using my XT1 with full manual lenses. Olympus penf 38mm f1.8, Samyang 12mm f2, Canon FD 135mm f2.8. And I haven't missed the autofocus even once. I've never looked for it since I started using full manual lenses on my Fujifilm. Again, it feels natural in my hands. It's gorgeous. Everything about it makes me go out and shoot more. I am no longer earning unwanted attentions. People are no longer seeing me as pro. Strangers aren't being intimidated for portraits now. When I take it out from the bag, no one looks at me like when I still had my Canon dslr. I'm no longer being held down by the weight of the gears. I am enjoying photography even more. I use it both for photos and videos. And while it may not be the best specs wise and paper wise, it does the job for me and improves my game. Even the moire issue when shooting video with the Fujifilm's first batch of X sensor disappeared when I started focusing on creating and shooting, instead of reading what's best and good and bad about it. When how it feels matter more than what the paper says, I felt contented.

I always enjoy your videos and this was no exception.

In addition to the quality of the video, your photos are magnificent and original.

I have a confession to make. I have subscribed to your channel not primarily because of the product reviews (which are excellent) but because of the seemingly endless supply of creative and downright beautiful photos you produce as examples of what the cameras can do ... or, rather, what a talented photographer like yourself can do with virtually any decent camera. Very inspiring ! Thank you. Have you considered making videos about composition and perhaps post processing ?

A very sensible and fair reviewer, spot on.

I would say after, no matter what camera it is, as far as i watched all your videos, it were you, who really know how make a great shots, with any types of camera

Excellent review, I very much agree that with features you must include your feeling about the camera. If you like using it you will use it more and improve your photography.

Some great images mate, very talented..

Man I love your videos. Your voice is so dreamy and carries a really subtle but yet happy tone for me to listen to. And that music is so perfect for me. I listen to q lot of library rock and really mellow indie music so this is perfect for me and doesn't drown out your voice. Really great volumes and the content is perfect. Really hope you take off this year and make it worth it for time spent making content. Please keep on with what your doing. It will pay off soon... Cheers

your last line >>> i love it thanks

Mattias, I had checked Damian's take on the X-E3. It's a thumbs up.

I have seen most of your Videos and they all all great The best though are the pictures you took with the Pentax q-s1. You sir are an artist

The x100F is an amazing camera.

Great video mate

The main advantage of the Fuji as compared to the sony is the incredible Jpeg out of the camera. I used to own an RX1 (the vanilla model) and the jpeg were quite jarring, forcing me to spend time on lightroom to adjust the colors. On the other hands, Fuji's jpeg look absolutely stunning. For people who do not enjoy the computer post-processing, that's a huge selling point.

Thanks for the video, what you said at the end is what makes me like fuji cameras more and more. My X100F is just pure camera. (I still prefer the original X100 jpeg files).

Beautiful pics and video 👍

Love the images. Never tried that Sony! It's on the list now :) Tomorrow I get to play with the X-E3 all being well. Never really bothered with the X-E range but I see the perks in it :D

All this proves Mattias is that you're a wonderful photographer who can make any camera sing :-) But we knew that!

I have a RX1R and a X100F. For what it's worth, there really is no competition. The Fuji is a great camera with a good lens. The RX1R is in a whole other league though. It's not comparable to the Fuji in image quality. I honestly think the RX1R a future classic.

I just got my hands on a Fuji x100T. I love it! The photos are gorgeous. I also own an XT3. I’m new to Fuji and I love the look straight out of camera. Didn’t think it was a real thing until I got my hands on one. I’ve had the pleasure of using Sony, canon, nikon, panasonic and Olympus. Fuji is by far my favorite with Canon in second place.

Thank you! This video inspired me to buy the original RX1 to accompany my DP3 Merrill with a more usable every-day camera that matches in IQ. And wow... needs some getting used to, because the different weight distibution requires a completely new "handling style". The DP3 lens is significantly lighter, and does not excert that much torque on your left hand. I wonder if that hot shoe grip thingie helps.

Thanks! Excellent comparison.

Great info!

The images are awesome in both cameras!

Superb video, really interesting points all round :)

I owned both cameras more than a year and I ended up selling them both. IMHO, sony has only 3 advantages. Thes best is the Zeiss lens, the second is full frame sensor and the third is LCD screen (especially for street photos) I think Sony's high ISO performance is much better than any Fuji APS-C cameras available (incl. X-T3) and the close-ups with Sony's 35mm Zeiss lens is sharper than 23mm on X100f.. But despite all the benefits of Sony RX1R Mark II, I still think that Fuji X100f is a much more completed camera for the price. I had 5 extra batteries for my Sony and it was really annoying to change batteries all the time and that blackouts after every shot, because of higher megapixels on a lower cpu. I'm considering to try out a Leica Q if I'm happy enough to find one used for a good price. In the other hand I also excited to see Sony's new version of this amazing peace of technology.

Because of this video, I bought both of them(used of course). The Sony is surprisingly good, I bought the original rx1 first and immediately fell in love with it. Soon I came across the mark 2 with a very good price, bought it and sold the mark 1. The mark 2 is very good but I don't think it can justify the price difference. The x100f is actually my third one, I bought the first one in silver couple months ago then swapped to a black one , did like it, but didn't suit my need at the time. This time around I will be looking at it from a different perspective. I probably will sell my rx1r2 soon which will cover the cost of the x100f maybe getting another rx1 and still with money left.

Love your content man. Especially the last piece about use what you love. I just bought back into DSLR with a 6dmii and I feel so inspired again looking TTL

I can only go by what I've seen here on KZfaq, but I've been considering a Fuji camera, either the X100F or the Xpro2 because I like the fuji film simulations, especially the B&W (Acros), I just think the files are so rich and creamy.

I misread the title of the video as 5 reasons to buy the Sony and as I watched I was amazed at how good the images you have taken with the Fuji are. Every single image with the Fuji is a keeper and some are just so brilliantly dreamy. ( What?) Even though You have a very, very good eye. Do I need to consider this camera?

I am happy just shooting film, but the Sony looks really cool as an all around digital camera !

Again a very very good video !! Perhaps in the future you can make a video with the new Fuji XF10 compared with your Ricoh GrII.

Great video after all these years and my rx1rii is still one of my favorite cameras of all time! Wondering where you got your KIWI TA-RX1 AP306 thumb grip/ bubble level that I could never find anywhere in stock despite looking for one for the longest time. Cheers and thank you for all your amazing videos throughout the years :)

I don't understand how anybody can give unlike for Mattias videos. I enjoy in every one of them Keep them coming

You are right. What matters is that you like the camera and enjoy using it. I have a black Fuji X100F. It is a joy to use, looks great and makes great images. What else could I possibly want?

doesnt matter what camera you have, its about learning the skill of photography.

I swear this guy's review of cameras is making me broke, lol

Great review, I laughed at the part about more Leica like than Fuji lol.

Hey man, would you be able to do a video on budget Leica M fit lenses that don’t require an adapter (excluding Voigtlander) if that’s even possible? I know that’s quite a challenge but it would be a greatly appreciated video. Great content as always, thank you Mattias :)

I just bought a used rx1 and I'm in love.

Hi Mattias!!! But if you have to pic one of them for quality and versatility wich one of them would be? Do you think that is good choice those time of cameras for travel ? Can you do decent pictures of landscapes? Tack så mycket för hjälpen!!!!

Dear Mattias, your pics are absolutely amazing, especially the impressive dynamic range that Rx1r can deliver. Do you put much effort in post-production (i.e retouching) the raw file from the sony or just some minor editing on lightroom only?

Nice photos!!

Those pics taken by Sony RX1R are just amazingly beautiful to me... but I’ve just bought a Fuji x100f. I’ve started thinking I’ll get a Sony full frame camera one day..

While I'm largely happy with my original X100, the larger sensor and better lens of the RX1r has always tempted me. The caveats are the much thicker dimensions, smaller battery, and way higher price. The mark II's cost is way outside appropriate parameters at this time. Nice comparison, though. Seeing the latest Fuji battery was surprising. Thanks for this!

Fujifilm color profile is unique.

thank you! :)

Nice video... I think one super feature and a major factor in my buying and loving this camera, is the leaf shutter... No need for high-speed sync...What a great camera but I would love to see an update.

i luv ur doggo

Hi Matthias have you ever tried the Canon 20d, how about the Olympus pen ep3. Your photography is awesome, I enjoy your videos. I to enjoy shooting with older digital cameras. Thanks for sharing

Still my favourite channel on youtube😅

love the video, how/what do you use for photo editing and grading ? loved the images

Nice content ! 👧

You’re awesome man

Just to add, leaf shutter and built in ND filter. Both are very useful

How exactly does the focus start to drift while on manual focus? just wondering, since I have never heard of this? is this the case on all X100 series?

Your photos are really good, I have procrastinated too long on buying a Leica Q, when do you think the Q2 will be released?

I love have that fuji is made - how it looks and feel

I've always admired that Sony. I would most likely have one if it had better battery life and 4k.

Between richo gr iiix vs Sony Rx1r mark ii . which one you recommend

great one! this Sony is still my dream.... and in the meantime a create pics with the X70 :)

A Dummies Q I am looking at using this camera for GIS Mapping in a Drone. When shooting images can the data be tranfered into an external storage device (not later ... but when on the job!!!) just for argument sake assuming the total internal storage for the best resolution is not sufficient. I mean can I connect an external storage device ?

Thank you! Love your pup! I want the aperture control on my lenses like in the film days so I will take the Fuji. Also, I stopped at SONY with the Nex-7. I do not like menu diving!

Nice. Yeah the RX1's are really nice. Full frame goodness. Still, the Fuji X100 line is very sleek and very well "analogue" looking. For street photography it looks so harmless. And harmless is how you get pictures! Also no shutter sound... aaah... silence. The camera I have is awesome.. yet has shutter sound, rather loud shutter sound, rather obvious shutter sound. So that will never make a sleek street machine. Yes I can get some lovely images of things I see in cities, and details! Definitely! But people will hear the shutter and notice.

I have the x100f and just ordered a Sony rx1r ii (it was at a very good price). I have been shooting Fuji for a bit now, from x-t1, switched to Ricoh gr, then x-t20, for the past year x100f. I have been more than satisfied with the F. There was just something slightly off with it. The lens. At wide open, it's a little soft. Aside from that, the shooting experience I have with the F is what really stuck with me. I'll try the rxr for a month before I make a decision which one to keep

Let’s hear it for the Frenchie!!! My 11yo pup is always ready to pose

The Q is the best manual focusing of any digital camera in the market. :)

Very Gooooood. You are a good person, i can feel by your voice.

makes you wonder if there is ever going to be a camera that has everything . like an x100f look with a lens that detaches and supersharp at any distance and non noisy high iso . I've been back and forth on buying an x100f now for weeks . I kinda want it for the amateuristic look , I'm not brave enough to streetshoot with my 6DII or 7DII . I'm too freaking shy , and also stuff like that fuji feels inspiring , like it's going to have me want to be braver .

the Sony Rx1r2 is great. It has full frame in a compact body, zeiss lens, 42MP,... but the price is super high even after 2 years of its release! Is it worth it to get the Rx1r2 in 2017? Or wait for the Rx1r3 (or whichever is the successor of the Mark 2..) OR just get the first generation Rx1r, is it enough?

Inspiring

wawawawawait fujiowner here. the rx1 has a fullframe sensor. thats objectively an advantage...

1year after this video i still consider buying this sony camera :) second hand offcourse.

what is the name of that thumb grip please? I haven't seen one that pivots like that

Great video!! Totally agree with your conclusion, I'm a sony user, great camera, great technologies, but I have to say there is still more feeling holding a fujicam no matter how.

I have the x100s, beautiful camera that really fits in the pocket. The sony lens size stopped that as it poked out too far. The fuji isn't perfect, mainly the focus speed is imo too slow in some situations but for what I use it for, it's perfect. I have another camera for faster action.

This made me miss my 100f so much

for subject seperation, portraiture and all round more beautiful pictures and iq quality thats where the sony makes up for its price and by being full frame. Fuji files have a flat look usually even with their new medium format camera

There are only two reasons why I've got x100v and not the rx1rII - dimensions and price. Fuji can be easily carried around and it is 2x cheaper. If that doesn't matter - sony is the way to go in my opinion. And I'm really surprised why every reviewer doesn't say how crappy Fuji's mobile app is, almost returned my camera because of that

I've got to have the Sony!

Nice to meet you, I love the old Leica Summilux 35mm F1.4. I'm sure, the difference between Fuji's lens 23mm F2 and Sony's Sonner 2/35 or the difference in image quality is the expression of the skin feeling. For example, I think that there are overwhelming differences in the representation of brick walls and wooden boards that have been wet with rain. It is a natural portrait with a glossy surface due to sweat and sebum. So, I conclude that SONY's * T Sonner is a linear tone expression, but it is said that it is not comparable to Fuji's X100F lens.

the camera is very expensive. Is it worth it? Compact is nice.

Tried x100v yet? The flip screen and improved lens. Would still consider the Sony at a nice price

As a Fujifilm X-T2 owner with 18-55mm, 56mm 1.2 and 10-24mm am thinking of switching to Sony because of that Full Frame look. For me photos from APSC-sized sensors are just too flat to my eye.

Wrong video, but worth to ask: Sony A7 iii + Rx100v vs Fujifilm XT3(September maybe) + X100f?

Hi Mattias, may I know what is your take on the fujifilm XE-3, please ?.. thanks.

you don't have a review of this RX1R II in your channel right ?
