DPReviewTV Crop Sensor Comparison: Fujifilm X-T3 Beats Nikon D500, Olympus EM-1 MK II and Panasonic G9

Chris and Jordan just released roundup/buyers guide for non-full frame shooters.

They look at the Fujifilm X-T3, Nikon D500, Olympus EM-1 MK II and Panasonic G9 and try to figure out which camera is better for landscapes, street, sports/wildlife, portrait photography and video.

SPOILER ALERT: The Fujifilm X-T3 ends on top in all categories but one :).

Chris starts by saying that:

APS-C and M43 offer a lot of versatility and can handle all kinds of photography
Full frame cameras are more specialized tools in a lot of ways

LANSCAPES

Fujifilm X-T3 wins, due to highly effective APS-C sensor and great dynamic range. Excellent lenses. By a hair the winner
Olympus EM-1 MKII and Panasonic G9 are on par. Have multishot pixel shift
Nikon D500 not made for landscape, lower resolution sensor and big body. Not so portable

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Fujifilm X-T3. Sexiest looking body. Dial controls very instinctual. Crazy fast AF. Eye AF is great. APS-C image quality better than M43
Panaosnic G9 very close to Olympus. Better viewfinder and faster single AF, better eye AF
Olympus EM-1 MK II
Nikon D500 is big and bulky. Slow live view AF

SPORT/WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

Nikon D500 offers by far the most lens choices. Rugged and stable DSLR body. Best autofocus in the world
Fujifilm X-T3 has some great lenses like the XF100-400 and new XF200mmF2. Insanely fast AF. Very capable sports and wildlife camera
Panaosnic G9
Olympu EM-1 MKII

PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Fujifilm X-T3 is the clear winner. Great lenses. They care about APS-C lenses. Legendary color science with great skin tones. Great AF and vastly improved eye-AF

VIDEO

Fujifilm X-T3. Terrific video specs and Eterna profile is awesome. No IBIS and better battery life. But Fujifilm X-H2 will fix that. Fujifilm X-T3 is best hybrid video/still camera overall
Panasonic G9
Olympus EM-1 MK II
Nikon D500

Overall, Fujifilm X-T3 is the way to go in the crop sensor world.
