Competition Compared: Sony a6400 vs Fujifilm X-T20 vs Fujifilm X-T3 vs Sony a6500 vs Fujifilm X-T30


Recommended Posts

Sony A6400 Sony announced the Sony A6400, which, given its price and features, we can consider the Fujifilm X-T30 competitor. The Fujifilm X-T30 will be announced February 14. At the bottom of this article you can find a specs sheet…

So we konow now that A6400 (vs X-T30) will probably have better AF-C/Face/Eye and probably much better EVF (x70 vs x62). These 2 are quite important differences.

But what about video? A6400 has Hybrid Log-Gamma, S-Log2 and S-Log3, Zebra, Gamma Display and Full HD 120 fps at up to 100 Mbps!

Will X-T30 offers them, at least F-log, FHD 120p and Zebra?

If not it will be in 2019 waste of money.

The problem  is if AF Fuji is ready for the competition with sony . It is only a problem of processing or it is possible modify AF fuji with another firmware? In every case shall we see a X-t30 with same Af like sony A6400?

Thanks.

I am affraid Fuji is not ready now to compete with Sony AF-C/Eye performance though can make some improvements that we will probably see soon via firmware update. Processing power can't be the only reason because X-T3 has it but its AF-C/Eye performace seems far behind A6400. I suspect Fuji will not change EVF in X-T30 so there will be same tiny EVF with short eye point and x62 magnification. What bothers me more is what video features X-T30 will get ? I do not think we will se 4K60p, rather 4K30p but if it does not have F-Log and FHD 120p slow motion it will be trully unimpressive Fuji camera in 2019 - for video and stills.

I have no interest for video, and to buy sony A6400 would tell me I have to buy again new lenses. If the body of X-t3 should cost less than 1.000 euro, probabily in  this year I shall buy it and and in 2020 the new H-X2, that i hope it will be with AF equal of sony

    • I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
