1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,840
for those of you who've been watching ShortCircuit for over a year now since

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:10,639
the channel is just over a year old last year we did

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:13,519
a video on the gfx 100 which at the time

4
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:17,520
was fujifilm's best medium format digital camera

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:22,720
and i would argue that they might have topped themselves

6
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:23,199
with a cheaper camera this year on top

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,760
of this camera that i'm about to unbox they sent over

8
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:31,439
this 80mm f 1.7

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:37,120
i will tell you why that's important in a moment and they're

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:40,640
really cool 45 mil to 100 f 4.

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,280
okay so in the box we've got

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,520
a manual warranty actually it looks like this is a digital

13
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:49,039
manual and something about capture one

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,640
everyone who i've ever spoke to who uses capture one prefers

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,800
chapter one by a long shot over lightroom no there's no license

16
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:01,039
it's literally just an ad to download the software okay let's see what's in

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,760
the rest of this box we have a type-c charging cable

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,720
a camera strap for six thousand dollars

19
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:15,040
this is a lackluster camera strap i mean

20
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:19,040
you like i usually say you're probably going to replace this but i might put it

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:26,240
on the camera just to see how it feels okay we've got a couple of adapters

22
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:29,439
for different countries

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,439
a wall wart

24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:36,320
it's a type c and they include the cable but

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,520
i always hate charges like this because it means you have to have a cdc cable

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,159
which i'm sure many of you out there do but it's not the type of cable you still

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,240
just have lying around your house all the time like you might have a couple of them for

28
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,000
different devices around the house but if you lose this cable

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,600
it's kind of hard to find like you can't go into a random grocery store

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,759
and find the type cdc cable all the time you might be able to in some places

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,040
let's see another charging adapter another charging adapter

32
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:14,160
for those of you who don't know medium format all you really need to understand

33
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,200
is it's a format that is larger than the typical full frame

34
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,599
sensor size that you'll find in mirrorless and dslr cameras these days

35
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,760
so for example the sony a7s3 that i covered in a recent video

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:30,400
is a full-frame camera this is a medium format

37
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,400
digital camera and it has a 102

38
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,080
megapixel gigantic medium format sensor as you can

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,800
see this sensor is much larger than the one

40
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,840
that was in the a7s iii and it is a much higher resolution

41
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:50,239
and that's one of the advantages of bdm format cameras that are

42
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,840
much higher resolution and have a much shallower

43
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:58,080
depth of field than your full frame cameras

44
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,680
so while this is 900 grams it feels

45
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,959
it feels not that heavy so let's look at the rest of the body on the top we have

46
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:09,360
a very familiar mode dial for anyone who's used a fuji camera before

47
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:14,239
this is their butt little button lock and then they have a manual

48
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:17,280
aperture priority shutter priority

49
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:20,319
program and then six custom

50
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,440
profiles which is pretty awesome i don't

51
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:27,519
actually know a camera that gives you that many you have these two buttons here this top one

52
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,799
is set to do face detection or eye detection autofocus which is nice but

53
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,760
i'm pretty sure you can customize it to anything and then this bottom button is currently

54
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:40,080
set to change the display on this camera so right now it shows all

55
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,920
of our settings and our film simulation and the mode that we're in which is

56
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,319
manual but if you change it it can also display it like this which is kind of cool

57
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:50,799
because then it's got these virtual dials i actually like this display better i

58
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,239
feel like i'd use this one the most and then i believe this one is your

59
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,760
histogram which just shows a top view if you're shooting from

60
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,680
the hip like this if you wanted a bigger version of your histogram and you didn't want it on your

61
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,680
lcd display this is a nice touch to have it available so you can check your

62
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,439
exposure on the back of the camera we've got the

63
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:16,079
same flippy screen that was originally in

64
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,000
the gfx 100 i'm not the hugest fan

65
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,799
of this display it's not bad there are certain situations where if like you're

66
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,720
holding the camera like this and then you want to pop out the display

67
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:29,759
to see your shot at a better angle that's nice but i find it overall less useful we

68
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,639
have the focus dial here which just allows you to go from manual continuous

69
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:39,040
or single a little joystick which feels pretty good the ae

70
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,440
lock button the menu button display play quick

71
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,400
quick settings which is all standard this camera has dual sd card slots which

72
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:51,040
is very important especially if you're a professional photographer you do not

73
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,520
ever want a lack of redundancy in your media

74
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:59,520
which honestly should be a standard for all cameras at this point but yeah

75
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,960
every camera manufacturer who does not have dual slots for the media

76
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,400
is doing something wrong

77
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,560
on the right of the camera with the sd card door we have a

78
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,520
2.5 millimeter is this a mic jack what is this

79
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,360
oh it's a remote jack okay so if you're doing a time lapse it's one of those like 2.5 millimeter

80
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:22,479
you can just like have a trigger to the side or there's other

81
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:27,199
camera accessories that will utilize that port i just realized that

82
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,520
this battery is the same battery that i use in my fuji xt4

83
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:35,360
which is super awesome so if you're an xt4 user

84
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:39,840
and you want to add this camera as a second body or you want to

85
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:42,000
upgrade you can keep your batteries

86
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,400
we have ah here we go we here's where we have mic and headphone

87
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,400
and then

88
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:56,240
they did it guys they put micro HDMI

89
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,160
on this camera press f

90
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,960
that's unfortunate micro HDMI for those of you don't know not a great connector

91
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,560
very easily breaks i'm not surprised there wasn't space for a full-size HDMI

92
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,600
in this body specifically but maybe fuji can figure that out on

93
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:13,919
their next revision and then a flash sync port so for all of

94
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,919
you professional photographers out there who want a flash sync port for your lights

95
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:21,759
or any other camera accessories that use it this camera has one it's not

96
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:25,199
surprisingly it's not a photography feature that is on lower

97
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:29,360
end cameras so it's not surprising to see it on a

98
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:32,080
professional level medium format camera okay so enough about the camera

99
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,919
physically we've gone through the whole thing it's got a quarter 20 point on the bottom like every other camera let's

100
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,840
move on let's talk about this lens fuji sent

101
00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:46,639
over their 80 millimeter 1.7 now for those of you who don't know this

102
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:53,680
lens is a big deal because it's the first i believe

103
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:58,000
gf lens that fuji has designed

104
00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:02,000
that is below f2

105
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,039
a full-frame camera with an f 1.4

106
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:09,360
lens is already going to give you a ridiculously shallow depth of field

107
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:12,720
and up until this point a lot of people have argued that fuji's medium format

108
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:16,160
system is not that much better than full frame

109
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,080
because their lenses were all f 2.8 at the

110
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:25,759
fastest and what that meant was the depth of field between

111
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,919
a medium format sensor with an f 2.8 lens

112
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,960
and a 35 millimeter sensor with an f 1.4

113
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:37,520
lens was very similar that changes today

114
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,800
with this lens this lens is 80

115
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:46,479
millimeters so that makes it about 63 millimeters compared to

116
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,479
a full-frame camera

117
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:54,000
or on a full-frame camera i should show it myself

118
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,280
this lens comes with a little baggie

119
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,120
it's a nice touch i won't complain it's always nice to have a bag to go along with your lenses

120
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:04,879
we've got quite a large lens hood

121
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:08,000
which is nice the lens

122
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:11,680
itself wow

123
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,879
gf 80 millimeter

124
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,520
we've got a 77 millimeter front filter

125
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:21,039
thread which is a pretty standard size that's awesome and

126
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:25,599
honestly this lens isn't that heavy i would have expected it

127
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,639
to be quite a bit heavier it's an 80

128
00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:33,120
millimeter medium form there's a lot of glass in here it has to cover

129
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:33,599
a gigantic look how large this bayonet

130
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,959
circle is it's huge

131
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:45,279
ready for that click that beautiful click

132
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:48,160
that sounds nice this feels like a great

133
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:53,519
combination now the body does feel quite a bit heavier with the lens but

134
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,880
not any heavier than dslrs that i've

135
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:58,240
used like something like a 5d with a decent sized lens feels about the

136
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,240
same as this and i feel like it feels pretty balanced in

137
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,120
the hand one last comment i'll make about the actual body of this camera

138
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,680
though is they probably used a less premium material on the edges of

139
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:14,800
the camera here because they do feel like a little bit i don't know rougher is how i would

140
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:19,040
describe it now that the lens is on the camera

141
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:20,240
let's go test it out but first a message

154
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:09,920
okay let's go test this camera so we're just going to do a quick demo

155
00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:13,920
of a portrait photo of chase here and i want to try fuji's

156
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,560
new film simulation nostalgic negative i

157
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:24,720
think it's called let's see wow this is really shallow honestly

158
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,959
from the onset it feels like the autofocus is

159
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,399
keeping up pretty decently even if i go

160
00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:35,440
like this oh it's hunting a little but that wasn't

161
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:41,200
that slow is that an lttstore.com hat you know it and then look at me

162
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:45,440
nice so before we take a look at these photos on a computer let's go outside

163
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:48,640
and do a quick video test and to see how well the in-body is

164
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:54,240
stabilization works okay yeah i'm really having a very hard

165
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,839
time stopping wow this is shallow that was super hard

166
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,279
to pull focus on because it's a focus by wire lens so

167
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:05,839
there's no feedback this lens is not amazing for video it

168
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,000
looks really good i really like this color profile i've

169
00:11:08,079 --> 00:11:12,959
been shooting fuji for about five years now and

170
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:17,920
i think this might be my new favorite profile the skin tone

171
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:22,880
looks pretty good already and when you punch in

172
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:26,959
look at that detail this shot is at

173
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:30,160
f 1.7 so the widest open you could be

174
00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:32,560
and it is so

175
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,959
sharp i'm really impressed with this actually

176
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:39,920
like this one came out a little bit soft so the autofocus on this camera is not

177
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:42,160
perfect but i was kind of being unfair to it i feel like i wouldn't you

178
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:47,440
wouldn't move as drastically forward and backward as i did a couple of times when i was just

179
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:53,920
shooting photos it's not going to be anything close to something like a sony

180
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,360
a7r or honestly anything sony makes but

181
00:11:53,920 --> 00:12:00,240
you shouldn't expect it to be because that's not what they're trying to do they're just trying to

182
00:11:57,519 --> 00:12:03,680
deliver decent auto focus on a medium format

183
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:07,959
camera let's take a look at the other thing that we tried

184
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,360
and that's video right off the bat at f

185
00:12:07,959 --> 00:12:14,079
1.7 this shot is so shallow you can see that

186
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,839
like i was having a hard time finding focus because the lenses just

187
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,360
like most fuji lenses unfortunately they're all focused by

188
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,519
wire so you don't have that immediate feedback in

189
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,519
the focus um when i was focusing it was actually

190
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:33,600
lagging a little bit as i was changing focus which is really not acceptable when

191
00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:38,639
you're trying to pull focus on video manually um and that's kind of

192
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:42,720
what in my opinion has always prevented fuji cameras from being good video

193
00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:48,639
options of course you can adapt lenses you can use older lenses you can use cine lenses

194
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,680
but the lenses that they make for stills unfortunately

195
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:56,959
aren't that great for video and while they might look good

196
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:59,200
in like a static shot they are

197
00:12:56,959 --> 00:13:01,839
not the best choice when you're doing a lot of movement or

198
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,480
just doing honestly any video because pulling focus is an essential part

199
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:10,720
of shooting video there's a weird digital look

200
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:14,000
to fuji's video and this camera

201
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:17,279
doesn't seem to have that

202
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,399
same like digital looking

203
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:22,399
sharpness texture to the image and

204
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:26,560
that's a really good thing but again guys it's a stills camera

205
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:29,440
that can shoot video and it does it decently so like if you're shooting like

206
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:33,920
a landscape or something that doesn't move a lot and

207
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,600
you just want like a nice static shot of like a waterfall or something

208
00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:41,279
this camera would actually do a very good job of that for the enthusiast

209
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:45,600
and the professional who want to take the plunge and

210
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:49,040
start shooting medium format digitally this

211
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,720
is probably one of your best options the

212
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:54,720
only other camera that is similar to this one in its price range

213
00:13:52,800 --> 00:14:00,079
is the hasselblad x1d mark ii but that camera

214
00:13:58,079 --> 00:14:02,959
is a leaf shutter it doesn't have the same level of autofocus

215
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,240
it doesn't have inbuilt image stabilization lenses are great

216
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,720
on both systems but for my money six thousand dollars

217
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,120
plus twenty three hundred dollars for this lens

218
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:17,760
i think i'd pick this thank you guys for watching i hope you enjoyed this video

219
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,279
if you want to watch more camera videos we recently did a video on the sony fx3

220
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:26,880
and or you could watch last year's video on the gfx 100 if you want to see how it

221
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:31,839
compares to this guy that was also a great camera thanks for

222
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,839
