A film вЂњlookвЂќ or вЂњfeelвЂќ is completely subjective, but I would say it leans closer to film in color and contrast at default settings than other cameras. Skin tones look great, but those wanting color accurate representations of landscapes might find frustration in the editing room. The colors produced by the sensor are not the most accurate but are pleasing in a way that a camera made by a company most famous for its film should be. Power poles and lines pop in and out very noticeably. MoirГ© can get ugly and is worse when recording in 1080p, and the math Fuji uses to downscale the sensor image shows quite a bit of aliasing as well. There is a slight 1.17x crop at 4K, but itвЂ™s not so drastic that your wide angle lens slides into a normal range. I was most surprised by the sharpness of the image that this 6K APS-C sensor produces. The film-like body look certainly doesnвЂ™t scream ultra crisp 4K UHD video, but thatвЂ™s exactly what it offers. IвЂ™m not one to get nostalgic for dials and leather textures, so thatвЂ™s mostly wasted on me. ItвЂ™s a pretty unassuming camera body that falls right in line with the vintage stylings of FujiвЂ™s recent lineup. The Fuji X-T2 has got it where it really counts, and thatвЂ™s in image quality. I was certainly wrong to make such a quick judgment.Д®dges are well defined even at a tight 600px crop of the UHD 4K image. What could Fuji do in this now very established, digital video world to contend with Sony and their a7 line or Canon, the patron saint of DSLR video? At a time when Panasonic is about to drop the Panasonic GH5, and even Olympus is taking a stab at the video world with the Olympus OM-D E M1 Mark II, I honestly didnвЂ™t see Fuji offering much to todayвЂ™s video shooters. When the idea was floated to me for an article dedicated to the video capabilities of the Fuji X-T2, I have to admit I scoffed. Now, I wonвЂ™t go so far as to say you should sell off your current video capable DSLR or mirrorless camera this very second and spend the proceeds for a Fuji X-T2 and a long weekend trip across the country, but I will suggest a rental to convince you itвЂ™s not as crazy as it might sound. Buying into a new camera system can mean starting over with most every lens and accessory. On top of that, itвЂ™s usually an economically-weighted decision. What would it take to get them to turn from the comfort of the known? ItвЂ™s a tough sell for many. I think of the unwavering loyalty of these individuals each time I see a new contender in the video category. They have memorized the spec sheets, know every minute curve of every button, and can change settings three menus deep without a peripheral glance of the LCD. ItвЂ™s the brand or camera body that calls to them with an immutable SirenвЂ™s song. Specifically we will be looking at cameras that meet the following criteria as they are they key features of the Contax T2.It seems that all the video shooters I know have already chosen their go-to camera system. So here are 15 film camera alternatives to the Contax T2 in that match or exceed it in terms of basic specs and features. Since I believe most photographers find a camera that fits their style, rather than fitting their style to a given camera - we will take a look at the latter option. One way is looking at cameras with the same lens that will give you similarly looking images, and the other way to look at cameras with equivalent features and specs. Now there are two ways to look at what it means for a camera to be an alternative to the Contax T2. I will order them roughly by lowest to highest current selling price. Some of them are cheaper and some more expensive, of course if your budget is guiding your next purchase you can take a look at the cheaper alternatives to the Contax T2. LetвЂ™s take a look at some other film cameras that are comparable alternatives to the Contax T2. Perhaps youвЂ™ve considered buying it yourself but canвЂ™t afford it, donвЂ™t trust it, or feel itвЂ™s too mainstream for your style.
