Best Mirrorless for Wildlife Photography

From all the mirrorless cameras available right now at the market and tested by Mat from Mirrorlessons, which one is the best for wildlife and bird photography?

In his (as usual) well written and honest comparison, Mat says that the Fujifilm X-T2 has

“the best AF performance and settings I’ve tested out of all mirrorless cameras” [Also the IQ] is top notch“.

Regarding the XF100-400 he says it is

“excellent concerning sharpness, autofocus speed and optical stabilisation”

And yet, the Fujifilm X-T2 is not the number 1 mirrorless choice for wildlife photography, mainly because

• live view only goes up to 5fps
• the camera grip is not really designed for big lenses
• no fast prime lenses – we need to wait for the long rumored XF200mmF2

So, at the end, it’s the Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark II to get the award for the best mirrroless camera for wildlife and bird photography. But make sure to read the whole comparison at mirrorlesscomparison.

And yes, I guess we will see the Sony A9 in the list too, once it is available for real life testings.

Top Sony Manager Confirms The Fast Focussing Fuji X-T2 is a Threat for Sony A7 series Customers. “We Don’t Have This Weapon Right Now”

There are many fellow camera friends out there, who are still waiting for their X100F to come and/or have a hard time to find it in stock.

Till then, you can enjoy the great images photographers all around the world are sharing at the X100F facebook group and also check out the links below, for more images and reviews.

There is also a little bit of pixel peeping, although I know that X100 lovers are usually not really hard core pixel peepers.

Sony Vs. Fuji

• Sony A7sii vs Fujifilm X-T2 for video review at Maru Films youtube. Yep, the Sony has IBIS, but the reviewer is considering to go for Fuji anyway. The colors, the overall size and more convince him that Fujifilm X-T2 is the better choice.
• Lens Stars are “Weaksouce” on Sony f/2.8 90 Macro and G Master f/2.8 24-70 compared to the beautiful lens stars on the Fujinon XF16-55. Check out min. 1:00 of The Hunter Report youtube video.

Isle of Skye Rainbows

In the intense and extremely exciting movie project with the new GF 23mm F4 lens for the Fujifilm GFX on the Isle of Skye, I was able to make this picture. If you are interested on the movie, then follow this youtube link.

Many thanks to FUJIFILM, 10ft TallTall for the great movie and professional work and Fjällräven for support with outdoor equipment.

… and by the way the 23mm lens is the madness!
