The sensor size and resulting image size is good for wider snappy snaps in sunlight/flash, not for anything even remotely challenging or lower light.

They're not so bad, and they're fairly small. I like to shoot raw+jpeg with my X20. I rarely use the raws though since I'm usually pretty satisfied with the jpeg output.

I recommend the converter Fuji issues, a lot of the other ones I've tried put out fairly mediocre results. It's a bit poorly designed and the interface is like 15 years out of date but that's the Japanese for you.

Shit, I had the A7II mixed up with the A7SII.

It was my only camera for a couple of months while I saved up for a 6D. Had an M3 as well since and that was a much better camera over the OG M. Got rid of both because I barely used them when I had my 6D. Still I love how small it was with the 22mm. Could sneak it into concerts and other restricted events.

Should buy another one just for laughs.
>>
>>2874815

Mark I with firmware 2. (Firmware 1 really was shit from what I've read. AF lock in 3 days with firmware 1.)

I've been very happy with it. I bought the 22mm kit when Canon was giving them away then added the 18-55. It has been a very fun and productive travel / casual / street camera.
>>
>>2874806
>>2874822
One of my friends has one of these as a fuckaround camera, and I played around with it recently. It's actually really nice, I like how they've managed to make it feel nice and dense and gave it the same finish as their pro bodies, instead of "hollow" and plasticy like most small mirrorless cams. The images are pretty good too.

I did think the AF was pretty slow, as was operation in general, but that's not such a big deal in a "casual" camera.
>>
>>2874823
The M3's a pretty cheap nowadays too, especially on sale. I got my M3 with the kit lens for $250 brand new but sold it to my neighbour for $350. She barely uses it too, so I might buy back it off her soon.

Multipoint / intelligent / face recognition AF are slooow even with firmware 2.

Singe point / single shot feels quick with the 18-55, OK (definitely usable) with the 22.

The glorious touchscreen means you don't really need all the other BS any way. Just tap to focus.

>>2874844

I almost missed out because I hesitated based on the bad reviews.

>>2874833

I would be really curious what kind of IQ and magnification you can get with one of those and digiscoping vs. something like the CoolPix P600.
>>
>>2874875
The one I played around with had the 22, and was on single point AF, and I still thought it was pretty sluggish, but I'm used to my X-Pro2 + 23, which isn't exactly a fair comparison. I thought the Canon was about on par with the 1st gen X100 (with updated FW) that I had until a few months ago, and that camera is kind of famous for poor AF.

In any case, I guess it depends on what you're comparing it to. I'll just say that I think the 22mm is usable for daylight / evening street photography. AF speed hasn't hindered me with that subject matter.

The 18-55 surprised me. First night I used it I remember thinking "why does anyone call this slow?" To be clear, it's not as fast as some body/lens combos. But I wouldn't call that one sluggish at all.

Oh man, where do I even start with this...

>no lenses
Fuji has substantially more lenses than Sony has FF E-mount lenses. Remove the "consumer" zooms from both lines and the number is exactly the same.

>of lenses available, awful quality
Ridiculous, I don't even know where you'd get that idea. Fuji's been making lenses since Sony was making transistor radios, and their X-System glass has been universally acclaimed.

>no good 3rd party AF adapters
Relevant to maybe 0.5% of the userbase. If you're one of them, good for you, buy the Sony if you've got a whole bunch of Leica glass that you want to use on a non-Leica digital body.

>crop
>sensor pixels less than half the size
Yep, and it doesn't really matter when you have a whole lineup of fast glass designed around it. Sensor performance is more than adequate at high ISOs and you don't have to deal with stupid crop factors since you're not trying to use FF lenses on it.

>worse low light performance
See attached image. It's basically identical.

>shite autofocus
Confirmed for not having used one, this isn't an X-Pro1. It's accurate as all hell and plenty fast, especially with newer glass.

>no ibis
>fixed screen
>no nfc
Ok? I guess IBIS could be nice.

>92% viewfinder coverage
Only for the OVF, which doesn't even exist on the Sony.

>$1 more expensive

Yeah, this legitimately sucks. Hopefully that's changing in a few months.

>lenses
Sony has af adapters for Canon, sigma, Nikon, contax and Leica mount lenses. With Canon, sigma and contax performing as quick as necessary. In fact eos fit sigma lenses from the film era that don't work on new Canon lenses, do work on the sigma adapter; that awkward moment Sony cameras work with more Canon fit lenses than Canon. Also, I bet you can't muster a genuine reason not to use adapted lenses, go ask your local camera store about adapter adoption rates, they are LOTS more common than you think. And if we're arguing native fe, Sony have a lot busier release schedule and have other companies committed to making lenses.

I don't care how long fuji have been trying to make lenses, x mount one's suck cock Pic related, how fucking awful fuji's fast standard lens is compared to the competition, dem chromabs, dat nervous bokeh, doze colours.

>arguing crop is acceptable because you don't have to work out crop factors.

Well, for a start, this isn't even true, a fuji 50mm will give a different perspective to a Sony 50 on ff.

>basically identical
Sorry buddy, my eyes work and I've read the article that's from, the only positive it gives to fuji is neutral colours at stupid high iso.

>ergonomics
Just fucking look at them, a clunky rectangle or a hand grip with a lens mount, your choice.

This site agrees on ergonomics http://cameradecision.com/compare/Fujifilm-X-Pro2-vs-Sony-Alpha-7-II this website agrees, in fact it states how the Sony is better in every worthwhile stat.

Oh and the fuji is around £150 more expensive at the moment.

The worst I have. Broke on the second roll. Causes a large scratch across the film surface throughout the roll, the film advance sprocket no longer releases for rewinding, and the shutter jams randomly. Was thinking about fixing it, but then I got a Praktica MTL5b which is just infinitely better while still having the fun of all manual. Could still use the Zenit as a home defence weapon I guess, until the EU bans them too.

Poor performance compared to first party, added cost and complexity.

>I don't care how long fuji have been trying to make lenses, x mount one's suck cock

This simply isn't true. I can't speak for the 35 1.4 because I don't own it, but the 23 1.4 and 56 1.2 I have are spectacular. I've heard nothing but good things about the 16mm and their fixed aperture zooms, and the 35/2 has been getting rave reviews too. The 35 1.4 was just about their first lens, and I'd guess it'll get an update in the next year or two.

>arguing crop is acceptable because you don't have to work out crop factors

That's not what it's about at all, especially since you still have to work out crop factors. What it's about is having lenses that are actually designed to take advantage of the crop sensor, and are therefore smaller, lighter, cheaper, and available in the right focal lengths.

My point in posting that image was to show that there's no real practical difference in high ISO ability between APS-C and FF at this point. Both sensor sizes will return publishable images in almost any realistic situation. The reason to stick with FF nowadays is that most systems have huge catalogs of lenses designed around that sensor size, and few designed for crop. That's not an issue with Fuji. The only thing you really lose now is effective DoF, and Fuji's been working around that as well. (By offering faster lenses for the same equivalent FLs and/or pricepoints, i.e. their 85 equivalent is a 1.2 and their 35 equivalent is a 1.4 for the same price as Sony's 35 2.8.)

>ergonomics

Subjective, I guess, and it depends on whether you're talking about the overall feel of the camera in the hand or what it's like to interact with the camera.

Sony's body is probably nicer to hold, given its grip. Fuji's controls, though, are much better, at least in my opinion, as they offer physical switches for many of the things that are in menus on the Sony. I also felt, when comparing the two bodies, that the feel of the dials, buttons, etc were much better on the Fuji, but I know that's kind of splitting hairs.

>Oh and the fuji is around £150 more expensive at the moment.

That's UK specific I guess. Both bodies are exactly the same price from the same retailers in the US right now. It's worth pointing out that you'll spend substantially more on a comparable Sony system too, at least if you go with first party lenses.

I won't deny that the XP2 is kind of crazy expensive for a crop camera, but it's also not unjustified. There's a lot of complexity and technology in it, and a lot of parts that involve expensive machining processes etc. (The knurling on the dials, for example, isn't cheap.) I'd guess that the hybrid viewfinder alone makes up the cost difference in the sensors.

I don't think anybody can claim that the Fuji wins on paper, so I don't disagree with that website. Where it's ahead, at least for me, is in the actual experience of owning and using the camera. It's a joy to shoot with, and the files it returns are gorgeous. I've used a lot of cameras over the years, including modern Sony bodies, and I can publish Fuji files in a fraction of the time because they're so close to perfect right out of the gate. For somebody who's not working for publication and enjoys massaging files, that's not a benefit, but for me it's been a real game-changer.

Look at the comparison posted in the next reply, the 35 doesn't compare to the very cheapest ff 50mm, by a massive margin.

Yet it's still £350.

My current camera has zero rays, so imagine how good my pictures will be with 40 MEGARAYS.

The price isn't astronomically high for the tech but just... Not yet.
Lytro is the first one to bring lightfield cameras to the consumer market tho. And the professional cinema camera is fucking crazy. It will start the change in the industry for sure.

It's like $200 on eBay, down from a couple grand at launch. That's almost within dicking around budget, but needing special software.... I don't know. I don't want to give myself another chore.

I was interested until I held one. It just feels like a consumer DSLR in the hands, and so loses all of the retro appeal it may have otherwise had.

L1 is one of the very first live-view ILCs, it predates mirrorless cameras by years.

Also, did you miss the theme of the thread?

Konica pop
There was no reason to buy one, one of the least flexible cameras I've ever used (2 iso settings, and a flash pop button which you can use to play with the speed but it's actually just better not to, and that's it) but it looks cute, it's the most "point and shoot" point and shoot I've ever used (due to the lack of settings) so it's pretty cool.
I hate my phone's camera, so maybe that's why I just welcome anything that doesn't shit itself whenever I just want the picture.

I'm also a software engineer. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's working with other people's proprietary data formats. Being tied to their software, and having no GNU+Linux version of it...I don't know.

But we're both loaded, so I guess the only thing we'd lose is time.
