as someone who exclusively shoots motorsports; either stick with Sony and get an A1 (or A7iv, though I've not used that) or switch to Canon and get an R6ii or R8. In motorsports, autofocus is BY FAR the most important attribute to a camera and nothing out currently can touch a modern (as in release in the last 3 years) Sony or Canon. I love the look of the Fuji and adore all the features Panasonic is including, but their AF is a full generation behind. The Sony/Canon are almost telepathic when it comes to vehicle/helmet tracking. When using a native Sony/Canon mirrorless lens (with the linear focus motor), your in-focus hit rate will be up in the 90%-tile, meaning out of a burst of 20 shots from a vehicle pass nearly all of your shots will be in perfect focus, and you're selecting which shot has the best composition/angle rather than selecting the 2-3 our of the 20 that were actually in acceptable focus, like with other systems with inferior AF tracking. Same goes for video, it doesn't matter how good the video capabilities are, if the camera cannot track a car/bike as it zooms by at +80mph, then it's no good for motorsports application. You can pick up an R8 for $999 from the Canon refurbished store if you're patient and the cheap RF100-400mm lens has amazing tracking capabilities with it's linear focus motor. I've not used an A7iv, but if it's anything like the A1 in subject recognition speed and track consistency, then it too would be a fantastic option if you want to stick with Sony. We have a very specific need as compared to a portrait for landscape photographer and if you buys the wrong camera, you will be at a significant disadvantage in this genre..

Honestly, I think the Nikon Z8 would be a much better choice than m43, weight and size aside. It's basically a natural upgrade of the a9. a7IV like Chris said is also a great choice in terms of price, if you don't need fps faster than 10fps.

@@kanaheiusagi Weight size and price. This is all a hobby for me and for the price of a used Z8 body I was able to purchase everything used for the G9ii. So far the autofocus and stabilization have worked well for me as I was able to get pictures of kids and friend skiing while also skiing. Still need to try it at a race but that is a little less demanding of a situation.

@@badshoes As long as your good with your photos. Just sharing, in the past I've used Nikon D80, Olympus EP2/EM5 II, Fuji XT20/XT4 and Sony a7C, and I switched from Nikon to m43 because of weight size and price too. But looking back at past photos, I was the least impressed at the Olympus photos, so I have a grudge against m43, but maybe things have changed a lot since the EM5II. Was the most impressed with the Sony a7C from day 1 and eventually upgraded to the a7IV (which is a huge upgrade from the already impressive a7C).

@@kanaheiusagi So far I'm enjoying the picture quality, and especially Leica monochrome. The AF seems a little less sticky than my A9 but plenty sufficient.

The difference in sensor size from APSC to FF is bigger than from full frame to MF. FF to APSC is a 1.5x crop and MF to FF is 1.29x crop.

Honestly, I think GS will only become appealing to the main MF demographic if or when they get good enough to incur no significant hit in DR compared to your standard BSI CMOS. A stacked 33x44, on the other hand, could be very interesting.

I think, logically, the next big update will be to make medium format cameras have more advanced video capabilities. Not because their users necessarily request it, but to make a model look more attractive for the money you spend than the competition.

@@el_fuckowhat do you think dishonestly?

Ah. And private equity firms love doing layoffs.

Valid discovery

I can help. As a professional working in the industry I have both systems - the Fuji is far more advanced in terms of range of lenses, optical add ons such as ext tubes, T+S lenses - telephoto with a supposedly 500mm at some point!!- however the Fuji falls down in several areas when compared to the Hasselblad X system - 1st - focal plane versus Leaf - or Central Shutter - in our studio we always reach for the Hass when it comes to portraits - it is quicker to set up than the Fuji - outside though its the Fuji. When it comes to commercial the Fuji and our old Hasselblad H6D100c are still king - image quality - the Hass has more natural colours - lifelike - real - the Fuji is a far more complex machine - it is heavier and takes more time to set up - and there is always the danger that you have either forgot to turn something on or have something turned on or off that you didn't expect - we also have a Nikon ZF for fun and a Leica Q2 Mono - but the Hass will always be the favourite - we also use it on a Linhof Technical - but its fiddly to get right - and takes time - the Hass is not weather sealed the Fuji can work in pouring rain - the Fuji is more robust - but the Hass 907x now with 100c is my personal favourite as it can sit in the palm of your hand shoot with one finger and at waist level - I love it - but if you want a complete system = then Fuji - if you want natural sweet central shutter firing at higher speeds with the new XCD 2.5mm (and same filter size as all of then) the Hass works that in better - do not even think of buying the optical viewfinder for it - it's a gimmick which does not work- also now the 100c comes with a dedicated flash bracket for triggers - something its smaller sibling was unable to do effectively - we use Broncolor and Elinchrom for different purposes and it's now flawless - hope that helps - good luck

Whoa... I didn't hear about this. Wow!

I whole heartedly disagree with you. A Leica M is a totally different way of shooting and firing at fun as hell. Why not a TLR which gives a unique shooting experience too?

The Leica M actually uses a functional range finder window to compose the image. Your mirrorless TLR will not be using the second lens to compose the image. Will your mirrorless TLR also reverse the image as TLRs naturally do? Are you going to request a mirrorless SLR next? :) @@niccollsvideo

@@g.lindzey3291 Yes. It is essentially just a mirrorless camera with a top facing panel. But now you’re letting pedantics ruin all the fun and joy, which is often what being pedantic does. I think it would be tons of fun.

It sounds like the desire is more for a “modern reinterpretation,” sort of like how Fujifilm has unique OVF technology but are not true rangefinders. You can keep a similar style as a TLR, update and tweak the functionality, and offer a unique shooting experience. Acknowledging it may not be authentic. It’s a good idea because as some of the camera technology plateaus, differentiation can be in the form of aesthetics and unique usability.

I went from X-H2S to GFX 50S II... I use both but I never regretted getting that sweet GFX look!

@@antzpantz Went the other way around. Had the GFX 50R and sold it for an X-T5. For what I do (landscape/hiking and general travel), the X-T5 and the APS-C lenses are much better suited and flexible. And after cropping the X-T5 files to 3:4, they often look very similar to the 50R 😅. Maye it‘s different if you shoot a lot of studio/portrait 😉

So happy with my X-T5!

@@mgscheue It is a wonderous thing. I just cam back from a few hours with it by the coast today. It has some really nice settings in it. I use AutoISO groups a lot. I love how you can set a button to do 'Recall custom 1 settings', which makes that button toggle between your current setup and whatever you programmed in the custom 1 group in the Q Menu. I have my front control dial set so that it changes my exposure compensation or, if I press it, toggles to varying my shutter speed a bit around the current shutter speed setting (both of which work great in low light - I just set shutter speed to something like 1/125 and then that front button can be used to rapidly vary it a bit). All sorts of stuff.

@@mikefoster6018 Great ideas!

Yes! Partners in heinous and degenerate crime!

It is exciting what has happened in MF. I came from 8x10 film to digital because of the Fuji GFX 50R, and because Tri-X in 8x10 is now $17 a sheet. I had given up on the medium because of cost. When I started it was $0.75 a sheet, but it got to where I couldn't shoot it like I wanted to. Fujifilm drew me back in with their cameras. I own a 100S now. But I have to say that there is a certain "look," a kind of creaminess that 8x10 film has that I have yet to be able to reproduce with the 100S. I miss it. The 100S makes a great image, but it doesn't have the same feel as 8x10 film. I guess I'm just old.

No just spoiled on what cannot be replaced by digital imagery hahah @@billmarsh7760

First off it’s not a competition. Jordan does a great job with his lighting but he also lights a smaller area. I like the lighting that falls off onto his shoulders, but I want to light the whole desk and my body evenly as well.

@@niccollsvideo I'm sorry if my comment was rude 🙌 I didn't mean your set was bad, far from that. You are right about that is a personal decision, and in a podcast with video to illuminate the whole set and desk is better and less fatiguing for the viewer.

Good job no one is forcing you to purchase one then. No doubt you complained about the price of the 150 - 400mm f4.5, but thousands of people appear to have disagreed with you. I'll bet thousands more will disagree with you with respect to the 150 - 600mm.

I’m pretty sure I got it at Teepublic. They have quite a few nice anime and Japanese themed designs.

Also, rolling shutter is worse on the X-T5

I would personally think of rolling shutter issues at first. The X-T5 has worse rolling shutter than the cameras with the older image sensor.

XT 5 overheats in heavy application

Rolling shutter and overheating aside. The video quality coming out of the X-T5 just isn't great.

Oversampled 4k causes overheating and bad rolling shutter in the XT5. If you shoot subsampled, you lose a lot of detail, worse in low light and DR. 4k60 is line skipped only on XT5 vs oversampled with a 29% crop on the XT4.

Ooooooh, you are in for a RUDE awakening when you start using Phocus instead. More power to you for your choice. Just know that the software is a serious liability (maybe the only one?) for the Hasselblad.

@@luciensims From what I can see online, you are likely spot on regarding Phocus. But the shortcomings of Phocus do nothing to elevate C1 from its own pit of ills. If layoff rumors at C1 are true, it's likely that the guys at Axcel are in the beginning stages of bleeding as much cash as possible out of their C1 investment, before allowing it to slide into obsolescence. Adobe's AI has left C1 (and Phocus) standing in the rearview mirror covered in attic dust. With deep layoffs, I don't see how C1 can ever hope to close that distance.

This is the entire look explained perfectly. I love 35mm but it lacks the magic of a 50mm so I’m really keen to try out the 55mm on MF. But with Capture One on the rocks maybe it’s better to choose Hasselblad for Phocus.

@@PetaPixel I'm talking about lens compression, which is completely different from depth of field. To be clear, I've seen this video before and I agree with the general conclusion that the bokeh effect is more or less achievable on FF with an 'equivalent aperture' lens. What's not achievable is having the FOV of a 50mm lens with the compression of a 80mm lens, which is quite useful for street photography or portrait work. Anyway just my 2 cents.

​@@fura2554Compression is directly related to field of view. Two systems with the same FoV will have the same level of compression.

yes

no

Hahaha

Almost 90 minutes? Gotta be large format I'd say.

Then it would probably have been in square aspect ratio 😄

It's a great format.

If C1 goes under (they wont) then you just pirate it. I dont say its possible and I'm particularly not saying Im aware of people doing it since they got fed up with C1's move on perpetual licences, and of course I did not heard about it being a really easy process. Just the birds were chirping about it

@@leventebandi More furious on perpetual licences that doesn't update RAW camera support the next year, forcing users to buy a new perpetual license the next year.

Given how they’ve just made Capture One Express unusable, no. And, like many others, I got so fed up with almost weekly email demands to continually ‘upgrade’, always at a (‘discounted’-hah!) price, I’ll have nothing more to do with them.
