Fujifilm X-T4 vs Sony a7RIV: Is Full Frame a Trap‽
Georges cameras and Warwick Williams from Fujifilm Australia compare the Fujifilm X-T4 vs Sony a7RIV with similar lenses from Sony and Fujifilm. Below is a summary of the above video:
61MP Full-Frame vs 26MP APSC
Comparing the Sony 85mm f/1.4 vs Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2 and Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 vs Fujifilm 16-55mm f/2.8
Fujifilm X-T4 has a flip screen and Sony a7RIV does not
Comparing via JPEG
Sony has some more clarity and punchy colors, but they used Provia in this comparison and could have switched profiles
The extra MP gives the Sony more clarity and they are pixel peeping
The depth of field is comparable at 85mm equivalent, but the Sony has slightly larger oval-shaped Bokeh
Warwick Williams feels that if they used the APD 56mm f/1.2 it would be more comparable
When stopping the 85mm equivalent down to f/2 they look very similar
Sony seems a little brighter in the shadows in their outdoor comparison and of course clarity from the 61MP sensor at f/5.6
The final comparison at f/8 they both look very similar
There is a difference between Full Frame and APS-C but it is a smaller difference than you would thing
About half the photos you would have a hard time guessing which camera shot the image
APS-C can hold its own and it is slighly smaller/ligher/cheaper
You arent saving much size/weight with the a7RIV plus no flip screen
Fujifilm sticks to APS-C to keep the camera small and X-Trans helps it to compete
Fujifilm’s film simulations will really help you to get what you’re looking for
Both cameras handle very well and can get the shot
If you want shallower depth of field you can always go with the GFX
