Nikon D810 vs. Fujifilm X100T, can you tell which set of photos (of cat) are from which camera?

[julianliu]

For the record, I wouldnt have had a clue either.

Dont really like the colors in either picture set. The first set also is a bit off in the colors.

Also a lot of these pictures arent really sharp. Even at reduced sizes.

It's not 100% sharp if you zoom in, but it seems pretty sharp to me (except a couple ). How sharp is sharp to you? can you describe or you can show a example?

If it were between two dslrs, I would have no clue, but I know the Fuji has a different kind of sensor and a different look, so I'll give it a shot. First set is Fuji, based mostly on how the white areas look.

You are definitely right!

I do not know much difference between other DSLRs. But I noticed the feeling of the photos from two cameras is different. I think I prefer the second set (D810), which I think benefit from higher pixels and bigger sensor (which caused shallow depth of field)

My boyfriend had a Pentax K5 and then got a Fuji X-something (one with interchangeable lenses). He did a few comparisons by taking the same picture at the same time with the two cameras and we looked at them side by side. As good as the Pentax images are (and I believe they use the same Sony sensors as Nikon?), the Fuji images were better. Even with the same depth of field, the Fuji images seemed like they had more dimension to them, and the tonal range in the highlights and shadows were better.

I have no idea how the Pentax would compare to the D810 because I know exactly zero about the D810, so maybe those images you posted would also look better next to the K5, but they still look different from the Fuji images for the same reasons.

(He sold the Pentax, btw. And whenever I decide to get a "real" digital camera instead of the dinky p&s I have for messing around, I plan on buying Fuji.)

My pictures do look different to me when taking in comparable conditions.
So I am glad to hear somebody does notice difference between these cameras.

By the way, I like Fuji X100T. Its picture quality is good. Its ergonomics suck though comparing to DSLR, IMHO.

Why is there a green a gang tattoo on its back

Green gang tattoo? No idea.

The D810 was the DxOMark king for a year or so, until the Sony A7r2 (with a backlit sensor) came along.

Its very likely though that once Nikon gets their hands on the A7r2 sensor (half a year delay), they'll easily retake the crown. Nikon doing better with Sony sensors than Sony themselves is common.

But as I wrote today in another thread the AF on this camera in lower light still leaves a bit to be desired, I wouldnt be running to replace my DSLR with this camera unless AF is all lighting conditions isnt that important for you.

How sharp is sharp to you? can you describe or you can show a example?

A photo isnt sharp to me when I can feel my eyes trying to bring it in focus but failing.

Its like a thin veil of blurr over the picture that my eyes cant get rid of.

This happends to me with picture #3 of the first set (the nose seems to be in focus instead of the eye) and picture #2 and maybe also #3 of the second set.

I agree with you that some pictures are not very sharp. I shoot it at low light condition and cat tends to move so I am happy I get some pictures that's sharp enough for me.

Ok julianliu, without looking at exif, is this from a d800 or a fuji x1

Feed me now by jaomul, on Flickr

(before you answer its neither. This photo was ran through lightroom. Once the photo is usable effects can be added, so its look can be changed, the beauty of "digital" photography- or the ugly side, depending on opinion)

What I mean by posting this topic is that there is difference between the two cameras, not really that you can tell which camera was used to shoot that photo just by looking at it. Surely PS or LR will change the look, but I think there is still visible difference between D810 and X100T because they are quite difference cameras.
My comparison was not done under strictly controlled condition as someone pointed out, but qualitatively speaking, I think difference is there.

What subject do you suggest?
I realize you posted such comparison before as well.

Maybe something more feminine and two legged? I think the last time I posted a comparison, it was between digital and film.

no problem. I will post some comparison between these two cameras with photos of girls next time

you should choose a better aperture for both sets... there's no need to shoot wide open every time.... I remember when I used to do that.... ahhh the good ol days...

either way I want a Fuji dslr so bad....

Define "better" aperture. I shoot f1.6 almost 95.78% of the time.
