You don’t have to justify your choices, but as you did, and from a guy who uses Fuji and Canon, I couldn’t understand your reasoning, it’s like “I have a extremely good reliable system to do my job, but I need some more complications in my life, so I’m switching from full-frame to a smaller sensor, worse AF system, worse ISO and worse depth of field, but I got them for free” . I mean, I use Fuji all the time, but when it comes to professional jobs I rely on my full-frame Canon R system. And I don't mind using Fuji for pro work, it's just that you already had a better system and you are downgrading because you made a deal, if you had to pay for this new gear you wouldn't be switching and that's sad.

I appreciate all of your Sony guides over the years! Thank you!

Having used Sony, Canon and Fuji I honestly have to say that Fuji is the most fun to use and has the most soul to the photograph. I also find Fuji shots require less editing to achieve the look I want

Welcome to the Fujifilm Pro's club. I've been shooting Fujifilm professionally for past 8 years and it's worked swell for me. Currently using the classic and dependable X-T3 right now for my Weddings, Portraits, and Events work and it's a complete joy!

Most Fujifilm cameras don’t use Bayer array sensors and hence Lightroom struggles with sharpening. Fujifilm files are very sharp if you just use Capture One.

I did the the same. Came to Fujifilm from Sony A7Riv and A7iv. Zero regrets. I agree with everything you said. I have experienced the same thing.

I recently switched from a Sony a7r iii to a Fuji x100vi, and WOW - I feel like finally my photos actually have character and vibe. The Sony photos might have been technically “better” - being sharper etc, but I very rarely was fully happy with the outputs that I got, somehow I could never capture how I felt in a location with the Sony - it’s hard to explain. With the x100vi I feel like every single time I use the camera it really captures into the images the feeling that I want to tell

Great having this conversation with you in person few days back, and now watching the detailed version all makes sense, can't wait too see more of you work real soon mate.

Just a warning Fujifilm current firmware screwed up the auto focus really bad on nearly all their camera's including my X-S20 camera my firmware was released in April is is June 26th ans still garbage this include several of the higher end Fuji camera's Don't update the X-H2S with 6.01 firmware. There is normally good continuous but at least you found the work around with single point

I recently got an X-T5 after my heart surgery to deal with the weight limitations for my recovery period. And I have to say I agree with everything you've said - the A7R V is just too easy and I'm really enjoying the X-T5. At the moment I'm using both systems but I'm tempted to make the switch completely.

After many years of shooting with Canon, Fuji and Sony, I ended up with Leica. Full Frame, extremely portable and a very unique contrast/color rendition. I really enjoy using my M11-P and manual focussing is so much fun :-)

Currently, I've been working with the a7iv as well. And it's been great, but I noticed that I wasn't as excited with sharing my work on social media. I don't know if it's the work that I do, or maybe I'm burned out, but recently, i dusted off the x100 (1st gen) and have been loving it. Couldn't agree more with the comment that using gear that makes you want to take photos, makes you take better photos. idk why the algorithm recommended your video, but i completely agree with it.

Good review and photos! I look forward to your full review and also about your accessories for the XT 5! Thanks. Geoff

I did the same about a year ago, was a "lifetime" sony shooter (came from old alpha system, f828, r1) sold them all. When friend of mine borrowed me his x-t4 before his selling it. I had his camera for two weeks and I couldn't put it down. Want to shoot again. With the sony only used when had weddings. So ended up buying it and started to build my fuji system. I recommend to try Capture One istead of Lightroom. Much better with fuji files.

Your CTM presets have been an absolute mainstay for me using them with my Sony and really changed how I think about greens in my images. I used them predominantly with my Sony and Panasonic cameras but I’ve been using a Fujifilm x-e3 and I love it, now totally switched to Fujifilm.

After 5 years with full frame I’m back with micro four thirds. Being really fit for a 66 year old, weight not really a problem. But the lens size was the deciding factor in my switch.

Very interesting video, looking forward to more open honest content about your time with Fuji. As you have added a grip to the XT5 and you said you aren't a great user of the top dials did you not consider the XH2 ?

I love that you’re on Fuji now!! You could honestly make any brand look incredible

I would highly recommend not selling off your Sony gear until you have used your fuji gear for a few months at least. Single point AF is great, colour is great, noise is no longer an issue with DXO Pure Raw 3/4. AF tracking is terrible and will fail you every time. I have switch to fuji and then back again to my canon full frame gear as it's just too unreliable when shooting weddings with Fuji. I miss fuji colours and wish Canon would take a leaf out of Fujis book. I love Fuji bodies, I love their lenses. It's such a shame that AF tracking is absolutely shocking.

I don't think you need to worry about losing followers😊 Even though I prefer Sony (and your Sony photos vs your Fuji photos), it doesn't really matter. People are inspired by you as a person, and that's why I watch your videos. I'm also not interested in wedding photography, but your photos have a style and character that don't feel tailored to fit the traditional mold of wedding photography. That is cool! Respect 🔥

Interesting approach that you sell your Sony gear to make things more difficult for yourself. For the opposite reason, I sold my Fuji gear and switched to Sony. The fact that the Fujis completely fail in AF-C when couples move and are closer than 2m really annoyed me. AF-S, however, works really well. And yes, the shutter of the A7 IV is so loud that I wonder from which 70s movie camera they stole the construction. :D

6:15 'Using gear that makes you want to take photos, makes you take better photos' is an intangible that is more important to me than any other camera spec; which is why i am also drifting from Sony to Fuji. Seeing that mirrored in your own experience is somehow quite validating

Switched from Canon to Fuji and now Sony. In critical focus situations (like a low light church with a couple statues in the background), I couldn’t trust the focus. Was skipping all over the place. At that point it wasn’t worth it to me and went to Sony. Also I found at the end of the day, the ergonomics (focus selector and back button) made my hand cramp up. 🤷‍♂️

I’m currently looking to buy a new camera for work and I’m starting to lean heavily in the Fuji direction… my only concern is the things I’ve heard about the autofocus. But I’m starting to think it’s a worthwhile compromise it for the fujifilm look.

congratulations on the new system and I understand it a little, I shoot on sony and I certainly don't plan to change but sometimes I feel like it would need a change....just like that , maybe a new inspiration would come. I made such a change a couple of years ago when I switched from canon equipment to sony. I'm currently using a ricoh gr alongside the sony and I'm tempted to buy a Pentax K3 monochrome :D

I have that 33 1.4 and far out that thing is spectacular, rarely leaves my XT-4

Would love to know more details on how you have it set up to go back and forth from flash to no flash! I’ve been contemplating getting an xh2 to make this process easier

Good to watch the move over and once you have got used to the quirks, I think you and Ethan will enjoy the process that is Fujifilm, and Everyone loves Fuji shooters HAHA

As a long time fuji user in a professional setting the fuji system can be frustrating, tracking doesn't work in the same way (and i'm being polite) so certainly wouldn't rely on it like you could Sony and canon but zone is pretty constant. And to be honest would argue for weddings do you need more than that and im shooting 98% on single point on any brand but I digress. I see some have mentioned sensor size and noise, sure there's a bit more about stop but nothing to write home about and with the Denoise functions in Lightroom I can easily make 12,800 look base ISO. I'd stay away from the latest firmware as well there a bit of bug in system unless it seems if its factory installed so maybe there is an install problem. But if you can work round these, the look is without compare, and I built my brand up around this look

Awesome! Super curious about Fuji cameras so excited to see your future content.

4:41 what are the autofocus settings that you recommend?

As someone thats used both, you are making the right decision, Fuji all the way 👌🏼👌🏼

My XT5 had issues with firmware updates prior to v4 firmware, I installed v4 in the hope it would rectify the problems I was experiencing. To my horror it made it unusable, I mostly do bird/wild life photography, bird detection stopped working 100% even AF-C without using detection was not working properly, I couldn’t use the camera at all and with no firmware update In sight, or the guarantee that the next firmware update would resolve the problem I was left weighing up my options. If I wanted a working camera I either wait months or buy a new one, I ended up buying a Sony. Leaving Fujifilm was not an easy choice as I had invested so much money in the system but when repeated firmware updates make your device worse than the last eventually making it unusable I had no choice.

I watch for the photographer rather than the gear. I am surprised you find Fuji autofocus reliable enough in a professional setting though. I’ve got both systems and that’s the biggest difference I have found.

Where is your settings for the autofocus?

After some of the autofocus reports and tests I've seen I would have to rule out Fuji for pro work. I do events too and AF is critical in a fast-paced environment.

Hey Chris!!!! Loved the video and really cool to hear your point of view ❤ 🙌. I have used the xt5 for a year now…. The last 3 weddings I shot I used a a7rv I picked up to try… no shade on the camera, it is a technical marvel aaaannnddddd I actually think in some ways it makes me a worse photographer. This is also why I found your story here very very interesting.

I am simply astonished. You have been my online, virtual mentor for over 3 years, from cameras, to lenses, accessories, style of shooting and presets. 7 months ago I also switched from sony to Fuji because… Sony was too perfect, and didn’t inspire me. Also, did not have time to edit events and with a recipe, I can comfortably shoot and send JPEGs. Seeing this video I felt like you inspired me so much, that I started thinking like you and made the same changes without knowing you would do this. You should try the Viltrox 27mm f1.2 (beast of a lens), also the 75mm f1.2 and 13mm f1.4. Would be interesting seeing a review of the 27 in your workflow. Keep up the good work and.. Good Light!

Well sir, first ever video I’ve seen of you. The way you convey is an art itself. The info is clear and soulful. So yeah, subscribed! Thank you

I genuinely want to like Fujifilm's mirrorless, but the autofocus system (especially for video work) is a dealbreaker for me. Excellent AF-S, unreliable AF-C (noticeable hunting every time), even compared to my A7C and my 10 years old a5100.

Been following this channel for a while Chris, a friend recommended you when I switched from Fujifilm TO Sony, and I’ve enjoyed the content. I actually feel the same way about the Sonys, they’re so good at what they do for weddings, but don’t inspire me to pick them up away from that. I sold ALL of my Fuji gear including my X100V which I loved, and eventually ended up with a Leica Q2 which I absolutely loved. I sold that and got tempted back to Fuji with the new X100Vi and realised I’d made a massive mistake- I sold that and did what I should have done in the first place, get a Q3. The Q3 is for me, and inspires me to shoot all the time, and has actually started to come to weddings now as well- so I get what you mean about the Sonys. However I wouldn’t ever go back to Fuji again- I am interested to see how you get on with them so will follow along!

Great video, Chris! Really interesting points. Looking forward to seeing the full review! 🔥

I just did the exact opposite switch lol. Love my X-T5/X-H2 but for work I bought an A7RV… the Fuji autofocus wasn’t doing it for me. Miss these beautiful colors though!

Thank you for your transparency. I'm looking forward to the full review of the X-T5 regarding dynamic range and photovideo hybrid shooting. Also a comparison with the a7IV would be great. What bothers me about Fuji at the moment is that they charge almost similar prices for APSC as for fullframe (bodies and lenses). You always ask yourself why you shouldn't go straight to FF, especially as the bodies and lenses there are also getting smaller in terms of size and weight. Somehow Fuji has a size mania, but a FF from Fuji would be nice (no interest in medium format). I currently shoot with a FF and have a small X-E1 as a fun camera, pretty much quenched my thirst for a complete switch to Fuji. Try the X-E1 while it's still cheap, a cool camera with amazingly precise AF and nostalgic feel. My old A7 III missed focus more often than this old APSC.

I switched from Sony to Fuji as well and definitely enjoy it there are instances that miss the Sony but have been very happy with my switch. A good Fuji lens to look into is the Viltrox 75mmf1.2 it’s an amazing portrait lens on the Fuji system

Hiya Chris, 80 weddings last year and I’m on that same cross roads. The fujis are more fun and images just have that something I’m not getting from the sony files and I’m on the A9 with the top lenses. The Fuji near silent ms is so nice. The images are a bit softer which for the brides skin is really pleasing. Who wants to see every flaw in there skin so I’m happy to shoot Fuji but I have the xt4. My set up is this. Sony for fast moving and low light and Fuji for most of the day in good light 👌

Good onya for finding a way to qench your creativity and drive, I went through the same in 2020 when I slowly migrated from Canon to Fuji and that was with XT3s which had even worse AF. Like you already explained learning and knowing which AF settings to use that works best is part of the Journey. I found similar results with the wider lenses your best using a medium size single point but with the longer lenses especially the new 56 mk2 & 90 the eye AF actually works pretty good.

I remember talking about my Fuji cameras at our wedding three years ago! Welcome to the Fuji world!

hey Chris - a big fan of your videos over the years. I've photographed weddings on the Fujifilm system for the past 5-6 years now, with a break year in between when the Sony A74 came out lol. Now I'm on the latest X-T5 for a year and half now and with the latest firmware, AF-C has been pretty great. Got to say - some of your reasons for switching resonated (as a user of both the Fuji and the Sony systems), especially the part where you mentioned that 'you wanting to take more photos makes you take better photos'. already looking forward to more great content from you! I know you're gonna have fun with the Fujifilm for weddings.

Chris I stumbled upon your channel (which I just subscribed to) as my attention was caught up by the title. I'm familiar with Fuji after owning an X-t20, an X-T2 and an X-T4. I would have stayed with Fuji if the X-T5 and the X-H2 had been one and only camera. Instead, I decided to make a big plunge and purchased the Sony A7RV when it was released, and a couple of lenses. Lazy me loves to shoot in auto mode sometimes and I am really pleased with whatever comes out of camera. Quite impressive. I am 70 now, have shaky hands and failing eyesight. The Sony autofocus is so $#%@ awesome that I can't imagine myself using another system. If ever Fuji comes out with an X-T6 with a good autofocus and the possibility to attach a battery grip, I'm in. I'd keep my Sony gear, though. It is that good!

I feel you. I have really tried to leave Sony, or use it less. Sometimes with Fuji, sometimes with Leica. Ultimately, Sony is too good, and when it comes down to the product "image", I always end up with Sony because - even if I'm a little less keen on picking it up than my Q3 - I end up with more good pictures when I pack my A9ii than with all my other attempts! But good luck to you! - you do great things.

Great video and I love your images. I am a landscape photographer and been using Fuji XT2 for a few years now but it needs to be replaced. I have always loved the enjoyment of the camera and the colours are special. I have been contemplating switching to Nikon fullframe for more dynamic range and low light performance but this review has inspired me to rethink about the XT5.

Looking forward to your future videos! Also switched to Fuji for cameras to just 'have fun' shooting with and gave up weddings completely.

May I suggest you use Capture One for your XT files as they handle the X-trans sensor so much better than LR. My standard sharpening in Capture One is 180 percent at 0.8 pixels and the images are outstanding. LR is fine for Beyer sensors, but get all mushy with X-trans sensors even with their newest updates. It is literally like night and day. In fact I was ready to sell all of my Fuji gear and discovered Capture One for Fujifilm and it was a 180° turn around. I own 10 Fujifilm bodies that include 3 x GFX's and 30 Fuji lenses. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Being that the GFX sensors are not X-trans, you may use LR with no problem.

There really is something special about the fuji colors. Ive tried to match my Nikon but its always a futile attempt.

Crazy! Sad to see you go, selfishly, because i have loved all your Sony work. I won't stop watching though, keen to see how your fuji journey goes, they are great cameras. We are spoilt for choice in 2024. Thanks for everything so far! Big love from Aus.

more ppl should actually focus more on the actual art of photography instead of what brand others are choosing to shoot…

Nice one dude! Glad to hear you've found a path to being more inspired!

I get that you have years of experience and blood sweat and tears put into your craft and channel. But damn, I wish I could just kind of ask Fujifilm for a free setup haha

I think that Fuji (in Europe) is too expensive for being an APSC Camera ! I think that the X-T5 EVF has too low resolution, the X-H2 have a ok EVF. The Sony sensor in the Fuji Cameras are great though and I do not understand why Sony do not use the 40 megapixels sensor in Sony APSC Cameras !? I do a lot of Landscape photography, so for that the APSC sensor is too small for me and the Fuji GFX series are too big and expensive, so I am very happy with 61 megapixels full frame Cameras, I need the extra pixels and dynamic range.

I love fujifilm..yes it can be tricky but not impossible for auto focussing. Fujifilm Australia are great to work with. I love the colours. Also for auto focus pick 1 eye. Adjust to sensitivity to meduim. I found the dynamic range 😎 on the xt5 ...I love the skin tones on the xt5 too. I've shot about 5 weddings with my XT5 yes flash is easy to use. L bracket a must.

I made the same switch about 2 years ago and only miss the cheat-code-like eye af from my Sony a74 and a7r3. The overall rendering of my Fuji cameras is much nicer than my former sonys but I wish Fuji could update some more lenses like the compact f2 fujicrons. The af motors are ancient particularly for video.

I’ve also had the x100 series since release, their great little cams. I wish you well.

If you want a challenge, try film!! I do agree, being inspired is 80% of the challenge to getting out there. Best of luck. I have three brands myself in order to get different features, sizes, use cases. It keeps me shooting.

Thank you for your Sony related videos sir. Enjoy your new journey!

I preferred your photos taken with the Sony. The full-frame sensor has a shallower depth of field and more pleasing bokeh, which the Fuji images lack due to the smaller sensor.

Funny, apparently I use AF (tracking) and aperture priority on my Sonys exactly the way you do. Super reliable, super convenient. I find myself craving an X100, but I have an A7C and A7C II which strike a pretty good middle ground for me. Just last weekend at a music festival I got to hold an X-T20 (I think) and didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. One of the other videographers was walking around with an X100 around his neck though and MAN I got jealous. :D

Great video and welcome to the Fuji! Btw using Lightroom AI Denoise function is even better than DxO (and Capture One).

Dude I literally just made the same switch, best of luck!!

Super interesting video. After having the x100vi I understand BUT I couldn’t get rid of the RV. It’s just too good and the lenses are amazing.

I’m on a mix of gfx and Sony. Find that works best for me. One system is limiting

I agree, the colours from Fuji is really amazing! Maybe I will hold onto the XT4 and just pick up a Sony for the best of both worlds :P

Been following you for some time, shocking for you to jump ship to Fuji. You made a video some time ago saying you didn’t like the files that were coming out of the Fuji and they weren’t as clear as Sony. I love the gfx System but for engagement sessions. For weddings it’s a bit tougher to use but probably can be used certain shots.

I switched from Sony to fujifilm in 2021. Best decision I ever made. Sonys are amazing but had no life or character to them. I bought a cheap XT-1 and immediately fell back in love with photography again. Ended up selling my Sony gear and haven’t looked back.

So You don’t need reliable continuous Eye autofocus anymore:) Change is always some way refreshing ( I just switched from Fuji to Sony :). Good luck and I hope Fuji finally will fix their bugs in firmware.

Great perspective and I get the perspective of finding gear that inspires and makes you want to take pictures. Curious though, did you try the A7C II or A7CR? For me they provide a totally different experience than the A7 IV type bodies, somewhat similar to the Fuji cameras.

Love your work mate!

Colors look amazing on this video!

Thanks for all the Sony vids. I agree with you, and for me keeping different systems is best of both worlds. sony for main use, fuji for leisure.

Welcome to Fuji.. !!!! Enjoy it🙌

Hi Chris, I found your channel - and your video 1 month ago - praising the Sony A7iv - which made me full good about my recent decision to ditch the Fuji XT5 which I bought recently. After a lot of careful thought I felt I could not justify running two systems. While I much prefer the design and handling of the XT5 - the miss rate on autofocus bothered me. The Sony is just in a different league. Also, full frame, dynamic range and the Sony 33mp sensor are very hard to beat. That said I did like the viewfinder on the XT5, the Fuji App which allows wireless transfer of RAW files and a other features + the enthusiasm people seem to have for the Fuji which, as you say, encourages them to use the camera and love it, whereas the Sony is more of a tool. A professional tool - but a tool nonetheless. So in conclusion , after watching your earlier video which made me feel good about my decision to choose Sony over Fuji, your decision to go the other way has given me pause for yet more thought. I’ll be watching your progress with the XT5, and it’ll be interesting to see if you like other Pros I have seen decide the autofocus is too unreliable for your needs.

Hey hey, I just stumbled across your video and would like to share a few thoughts about it. Basically nice video but it might be misleading for some people. I am a Fuji user, have an XH2s and an XH2 and am fully into the Fuji system. And yes, Fuji is fun, Fuji has character. And now comes the big BUT: after more than 1.5 years with Fuji and the current status of their software, I can only advise against using Fuji for professional work. The more I personally get into more professional work in my hobby, I notice how often the XH2s (flagship) let me down. Of course the pictures look good, but the waste that the camera currently produces because of its poor AF (due to the software) is immense. Sure, if I just take a few photos here and there or take photos of landscapes or something similar, that's okay. But as soon as some movement comes into play, this (XH2s) camera starts to sweat despite its stacked sensor. Which is really sad and there are shots that have to be right. (Weddings are the first thing that comes to mind.) And before all the Fujifanboys come out of the woodwork again: Yes, I can use my camera and yes, I have dealt with the AF system and the various settings, don't worry. The latest software updates in particular have really not done the camera any good. The camera is currently tricking you by saying: Hey, the green box is on your model's eye, you pull the trigger, but then you see in Lightroom that it wasn't her eye but her nose, ear or forehead that was/is in focus.And this is not on 1 or 2 fotos. Mostly 50% are off. Something like that in 2024 is no longer up to date and the competition is simply better. That's a shame, I love my Fujis, but I notice that the XH2s in particular are letting me down more and more. Also when it comes to animal photography. Sitting duck in the grass, duck had its head high above the grass, no chance of getting a picture with a focused eye, currently due to the "faulty" software that came with 6.0. For "normal" and street photography, Fuji is cool and reliable thanks to all the film simulations, but currently you can't recommend it for professional work, at least not until Fuji has done their homework on the software. As I said, this isn't Fuji hate, it's just an experience report from someone who has been working with the system for almost 2 years.

The subject tracking is the only thing that’s busted. Af-s and Af-c are totally fine. But let’s face it that’s a big deal for a lot of people. That said if you focus recompose it’s all good.

You must be on old firmware because I have the xh2s and xt5 and Fuji has made autofocus worse with "Kaisen" over last year or so and we are all waiting for that July or aug autofocus fox with reala ace, don't upgrade firmware yet

I switched from Fuji to Sony..dynamic range especially in shadows is a different as day and night, Fuji yes but only GFx or x100vi for fun..i have still the x100vi and dynamic range difference to Sony is so big..not way back to APS-C. Autofokus not to mention Fuji is still bad in this area if you need fast Autofocus, also the size for aquivalent lenses is smaller on Sony lenses

Welcome! You got a new Fuji follower

all the autofocus issues with fuji recently is making me not want to upgrade.

You should never have to justify why you’re switching to another camera brand. The haters are always going to hate! I started off as a canon shooter. It’s an amazing system and the glass is incredible. I have also shot Sony, Fuji, and most recently Panasonic micro 4/3 for birding. I won’t lie the Panasonic g9 ii paired with the 100-400 mark ii for birding is mind blowing! But I need to always have a Fuji camera and lenses. The Fuji system just makes me want to shoot!! The colors strait out of camera and the character of the photos just can’t be beat! The autofocus has come along way and the lenses are all amazing and affordable. The best camera is the one that makes you want to pick it up and shoot! Great video!! Congrats on your switch! Happy shooting!

Great video. And welcome to Fujifilm. Can I ask , when you say you used single point focus, do U still mean in AFC mode. Back button AFC but using the small single box ? And if that's the case. What custom AF settings do you use

Great video!! I used to shoot with Nikon but changed to fujifilm x t 5 too since a year. Photography with Fujifilm is much more fun. The images are better and sharper in compare with my Nikon Z. I got the new 56mm lens and 23mm lens 1.4. It's small and light. I see you have the 33mm lens, do you use this often for wedding? 📷

AF - worse Tracking - too unreliable to use Sharpness - worse Noise performance - worse Gotta commend you for the accurate comparison.

Surely sponsored or not sponsored you have disclosed this, which is honest, now as much i love sony and canon, I am a lumix/panasonic shooter, i dont need fast AF, i learnt to deal with focus racking when on commercial jobs etc, it all depends on the user experience, you can sony or now fujifilm and i feel people should focus more of the user and experience rather than the gear/label you use, :) in fact i get bombarded by sony ego users most of the time, who say it is the best system, (BUT never tried or know how to use canon or sony) ive used so many systems which to me means i am educated, I know your from Auckland, also the one of the founders for the collective, but i can definitely just say cameras are like cars, why will it matter what car you drive, as long as it gets you to a to b, or gets you to where you need to be, sometimes a change is always a good thing, it is how we GROW, never get comfortable always Learn :) great video Chris

Awesome video. If you’re on single point, how do you deal with the situation of the bride walking towards you down the isle during the ceremony? Thanks!

Hi Chris, I have send you message by your website but still no answer. Can you please check your messages? , it's about the preset

The crappy tracking performance is my main reason for leaving Fujifilm these days. Being forced to find workarounds is no inspiration, removing the AF bugs in the firmware would be the better way. Sonys lens development (including Sigma) is great, while Fujifilm needs 10 years or longer to update an old lens. They haven't released any relevant XF prime lenses in the last two years. There's not a single fast and silent focusing lens in the range 40-80mm. Wish you a good time - without a camera freezing ... ;-)

Welcome to Fuji bro !!

If I were to take a break from Sony, I would choose the Zf over the Fujifilm XT5. Better 3d tracking, better low light, better dynamic range, and equally poor ergonomics.

For your video example footage, are you using a mist filter of some sort as well?

Is the auto focus in the XT5 as good as the Sony A73? As I’m thinking of switching from A73 to the XT5 and if the autofocus is as good then that’s ok for me. Thank you and can’t wait to hear your experience and thoughts on Fuji

I don't know Chris... i like your previous photos from Sony better. Let's see what will happen next ;-) But medium-format Fuji might be interesting
