Fuji x100s vs. iPhone vs. Canon 5D Mk3

Well, due to the fact, that I will get Fuji x100s soon, I started to frequent Fuji releated forums, you know, just for a read.

So, today stumbled across this "review" of sorts.
Among everything else, found the complaint about AF speed causing a lot of people appear with eyes shut especially interesting.

Just posting here for your pleasure.

That strikes a chord with me. I too have it lying ready to take it with me all the time, but - living in the boring burbs - I actually don't pick it up. When I was in Paris with it a while back and it started raining, the streets looked great but I worried about the camera. I still have it, but part of that is admittedly that it does indeed look great.

Ridiculous. The guy in the video is a whiner and can't commit to a format that will satisfy his needs. None of the 3 are comparable other than the fact they can take a picture.

LOL. Isn't the internet wonderful??

indeed, sir!

I feel stupider for having watched this. This guy picks up a Fuji X100s when he personally isn't bothered by any of big reasons why someone actually WOULD pick one of these up. Then inquisitively explains why it doesn't work for him, because, you know....it was addressing problems he didn't have in the first place to have warranted the camera.

1. The size. The size of a DSLR is one of the primary reasons anyone considers this camera. I just picked up an X100T for this exact reason. I LOVE my Sigma 35 and 5D3 combo, and wanted something that would give me similar results but in much more compact size that I would actually take places. If I didn't have a problem with my 5D3 and didn't mind taking it places I would have never bought the X100T. The 5D3 takes amazing pictures and I don't pretend the Fuji could replace that, but it gets very close.

2. The iPhone. Again, different purposes. If snapshots are your only objective, then yes, of course you don't need an X100. If, however, you want DSLR quality bokeh, the ability to shoot good quality in much worse lighting conditions, and want the option to print or even license your photos, that X100 sure will beat out the iPhone in image quality.

3. Weather sealing. My 5D3 is not sealed with the Sigma lens. Sure some of Canon's lenses are, but not all of them. Neither is an iPhone. This camera is no different.


TLDR Version: Guy picks up camera he didn't need, doesn't recommend it because he didn't need it

There is and only ever will be one reply to the guy in that vid:

Skip to about 3:49 which is about how long I suffered the OP's posted video

He is a sucker for FF dslr.. it's obvious. And instead of working with what he have at hand, he moans about IQ and longs for his FF again.
His opinion.. who cares?

Here is ISO6400, f1.2, 1/30 or so on my XT-1 with 56mm f1.2. Wish I had an iPhone to compare. My other camera is 5dmk3 and all the L glass and so far I have been really happy with Fuji.

Straight camera jpeg with aggressive noise reduction but still not bad.

Kudos :]

Well, got to admit - noise reduction did ruin an image. also - is it camera, that brought in that oversaturation or they are real colours there? :]
