Sony A7rV vs Fujifilm X-H2 vs Fujifilm GFX100S – The Complete Specs Comparison

Share

Sony just announced the Sony A7rv, a 61 megapixel camera without stacked sensor.

In the Fujifilm world the non-stacked high resolution competitors would be the Fujifilm X-H2 and the Fujifilm GFX100S.

You can check out the complete specs comparison at the B&H comparison page here.

With the Fujifilm X-H2 costing just half the price of the Sony, to me this shows once again that the best balance is offered by APS-C. Also considering that the 40MP Fujifilm X-T5 will come in at an even lower price.

But if price does not matter and resolution as well as ever so slight increase in dynamic range is what you need, then you can also pay 50% more than the A7rV and get 67% more pixels and plus better dynamic range on the Fujifilm GFX100S.

It’s just nice that we have so much choice these days.

But Specs…

But specs alone don’t tell the whole thing and in some cases they can be even a bit misleading.

The Fujifilm GFX100S might beat the Sony A7rV when it comes to resolution and dynamic range, but the Sony A7rV and of course the latest Fujifilm APS-C cameras have superior autofocus and better video features.

Another example… the Sony A7rV has a 9 Million dot viewfinder as opposed to the 5 million dot EVF of the Fujifilm X-H2. But the EVF of the X-H2 has all new optical elements that give an incredible corner to corner sharp view.

And once you go at 5+ million dots and beyond, it gets harder and harder for the human eye to notice any difference. In fact, I have read statements of journalists who used both viewfinders, the one of the new Sony A7rV and the Fujifilm X-H2, and they said that they honestly can’t see any difference. So I guess it’s up to companies to decide if customers have to spend more money on even higher resolution EVF’s that bring no real life benefit, but that allow them to brag on the specs sheet, or use a more affordable EVF that gives just the same results.

What on the other hand makes much more influence on the real life shooting experience of the Sony A7rV is the new tilt screen, which is similar to the one Fujifilm already used many years ago on the Fujifilm X-T100, and here on FujiRumors we said that this is actually one of the two features Fujifilm should take from their entry level line and implement in higher end cameras.

So, as in everything, there is much more than just specs that define a camera. But specs are a good start, and you can compare them here at BHphoto.

Two Things Fujifilm Should SAVE from their Axed Entry Level Line and Bring to Mid-Range X Cameras

Share

NOTE: As some FR-reader noticed, the screen design of the new Sony A7rV is similar (not identical) to the one of the Fujifilm X-T100.

Two Things to Save from Entry Level

I think Fujifilm has been pretty clear about the fact that entry level is no longer on their radar.

And many FR readers could not care less about the X-T200, X-A7, X-A20, X-M1 (although I’d personally find it a pity if especially the X-T*** line would disappear).

So yes, those lines might be gone.

But there is something to be found in Fuji’s entry level cameras that higher end models do not have and that I think would be nice if they’d find their way into some of Fuji’s remaining camera lines.

And if I’d have to pick two, I’d say: the unique tilt/flip screen of the Fujifilm X-T100 (similar – but not identical – to the one of the brand new Sony A7rV) combined with the before/after split screen slider on the X-T200 screen.

Those are just nice features that I could see work well on some X series camera lines.

Those could be also appealing features for those customers used to photograph only with smartphones and who are looking for a more serious camera to document their daily life.

Do you agree with it? Would you love to see that type of screen also on other Fujifilm cameras? And if so, which lines do you think would be the best fit for this type of screen?

RUMOR: Fujifilm X-T5 with Dual SD-Card Slots (no CFexpress)

Share

I must say that I am a bit relieved to hear (and share) this rumor, because it is going to save me hundreds of dollars ;)

The Fujifilm X-T5 will have dual SD-card slots (no CFexpress compatibility).

For my type of shooting (no crazy ultra high fps bursts), UHS-II SD-Cards are fast enough to have a smooth and pleasing shooting experience.

So when I get my Fujifilm X-T5, I won’t have to spend more money into CFexpress cards. I just use the plenty of SD-Cards I already have at home.

But I am curious to hear what you guys think about it. Maybe for some of you this is a dealbreaker?
