I have lost confidence in Fuji over the years considering this was the camera brand that got me started in photography.

XT5 is a wedding camera 📷 why Dial allows you yo quickly adjust light with pus minus dial easier I agree it's a massive step forward 👏 👍

No update for xs20.... Shame

This is still pretty bad. Fuji lost me to Canon simply because my R5II has insanely good autofocus. Yes it’s bigger and heavier, but damn you can count on it to work.

Not bad. Much better than what we’ve had. Not quite Sony level, but I can use my XH2S more confidently now. I’ve had so many issues last few months with hunting. This looks promising. Thanks for the test. Subbed

Can you do a photo test? Maybe show how it tracks eye AF?

nice one! hopefully soon get updates on x100vi.

amazing accuracy

I find this perfectly acceptable AF. I used a Sony FX3 and it hunted too.

Everyone is doing video based testing on 7.10. It would be good if people were also testing the keeper rates of stills taken with tracking AF.

Hi, Thanks. I would appreciaate you letting us know how you set the camera up.

Hello, is vers. 7.1 better than vers. 1.0x? Thx!!!

Very nice video and test. Greatly appreciate you taking the time. I’m excited to try this weekend w this new firmware on XH2 w the Viltrox 13 and 27mm. Also curious on how well slow motion may work. Cheers mate.

You will need to understand basic computers to understand the difference between Sony and Fuji. Sony users whines over no Firmwares, and Fuji over the AF. This is the difference between Hardwired IC and Software IC. Hardwired are fast but not upgradable. Software are slower but customizable to the needs of the product. This is like an old computer vs new computer. The more the computer are loaded with tons of task the slower it gets. With hardwired you cant really load it with lots of task since it only have one purposse. Fuji are great for experimetations for the photo artist. But for a workhorse with simple task Sony are better and faster. Just enjoy what you have and use it for it was designed for. But dont exspect Fuji to be a Sony or a Sony to a Fuji. That will never ever happens.

This footage looks horrible! Focus is jumping all over the place. Not too noticeable on the subject, but super noticeable in the background. I stopped watching after four minutes, so I don't know if he played with the settings to make any improvements, but this is bad. Fortunately, I don't upgrade firmware very often, so mine is still on 5.something. I'm just going to leave it right where it is unless they make some major improvements. Thanks for the video. This makes my decision to keep my current firmware much easier.

Totally still messed up, not constantly to be pulsing, but jitter shifts. Whenever you raised your arms, but even when you aren't, it is there at 0:13, 0:15, 0:16, 0:20, 0:36, 0:38, 0:41, 0:42, 0:46, etc etc etc...watched the car. What a joke FUJI! I'm debating selling my Fuji XH2s and XH2 You might want to watch ua-cam.com/video/QmRhxM1tG14/v-deo.htmlsi=gxFLlyTbieoxdiIa He seems to have to working.

it was pulsing at the beginning, you can tell by looking at the car.

It looks like the update is decent. What lens did you use in this test shot?

I downloaded the firmware for my XH2's and improvement is glaring!

It's better but it still steps quite badly and jittery at times. This gives me flashbacks to the 3.0 firmware on the X-T3, that was 5 years ago where initial tests looked promising and here we are, 5 years later with still performance inferior to 2018 Sony.

This looks way better, it’s fairly easy to understand the AF settings. If you have tracking sensitivity on 0 it’ll be way smoother and faster changing what it’s focusing on (this is good for things moving from far to closer to you). And as long as you have the subject being tracked it’ll be smooth and fast, but as soon as the camera loses the subject it’ll just immediately focus on whatever is in the box - it won’t wait to see if the subject comes back. In my experience higher sensitivity setting is good when you have an erratic subject and it’s going in and out of the same plane of focus (like a bird moving parallel across a branch, or flying on and off a branch). It stays locked on to that subject for longer in one plane of focus instead of immediately looking for a new subject - this would be a nightmare when shooting wildlife because there’s a million things to focus on.

can you a video por stills? I'd like to know how accurate it is nailing a model eye when she is moving or looking sided to the camera

Did you update the XH2 though? Or not worth it. I'm still on original un-updated version. I'm to scared to mess with it..lol

can you try please with other settings for focus speed and sensitivity ?

I am only an enthusiast, it seems more than good enough for my needs. A way to possibly limit the breathing that you see might be to dial to f2 as the breathing seems to be related to small back/forward movements. I am using X-T3, and I feel that Fuji should update even on the old bodies, at least for photography and the latest for video. Why, because they would not loose clients who may delay their body upgrade as IBIS and denser sensors are sufficient good reasons to upgrade. On the GFX front, if the 50S ii was to also get the photography autofocus upgrade would be a welcome upgrade which would promote lenses investments (and therefore brand loyalty).

No, I'm not.

Uh, $1600 USD is not a "beginner" camera.

How about the XT5?

Interesting to see your pics and review of the Sigma 50f1.4 and the Mitakon 65f1.4 towards the end. I recently purchased a 100s with the GF35-70. I got the Fringer adapter to mount the EF40f2.8, but I really like the standard (50mm FF equivalent) focal length. So my question is if you have to choose one lens to be that standard lens, would it be the Sigma or the Mitakon, or something else?

paying $1600+ to get into a hobby? I got bills to pay

Yeah, it's so damn perfect you can't even order it since about 6 months... :)

I'm going to a Fujifilm Check & Clean day here in NYC this week. Hoping the new firmware will be available then.

I’m on X-T3 with 23 f1.4 WR and 2 zooms 16-80 and 70-300… I’ve delayed an upgrade to either GFX 50s II with a 35mm equivalent or the X100vi… I’m resisting the GAS and enjoy shooting for now… But it is tempting… on the other side it wonät provide massive difference… Apart IBIS and not have to have a tripod in some scenarios…

Nice one!

Kind of disappointed in the 50Sii, but I'm going to give it more time, and I'll wait until I've put a converted 645 lens on it.

No you don’t, because that damn side hinged, flippy, flappy, take forever, obtrusive, conspicuous rear screen is rubbish.

Love how people always feel the need to call their setup a Leica Q3 to get clicks. I am sure it is a great setup - sell it for what it is... not what you wish it was. I get torn between my Sony A7R3 and the 35mm F1.8 vs the 28mm Leica Q3. In the end the difference is not the image quality. The main difference is the shooting experience. The Sony - encourages me to use technology to get the shot (because there are so many settings I can change quickly via buttons), where-as I find the Leica puts me in a very focused shooting mode (more like my Nikon FA with the 28mm F2.8). It slows you down, brings you back to basics, makes the experience special, encourages you to shoot more, and inspires creativity. I will stress... It's not about image quality... it's about getting compelling images. Looking at the XH2 and that 27mm F1.2 it's going to more like my Sony experience. The simple things like the grip, where the viewfinder is, where you change shutter speed, the fact that the screen flips out rather than tilts, the lack of focus tab, the much longer manual focus throw, no simulated focal lengths that allow you to use like a range finder, not having a macro mode etc. It's going to be a very different experience to the Leica Q3. You can still love it though (like I love that Sony setup). If you want to want to get an idea of what it is like - go pick up a Nikon FA (or any other film camera that has a good light meter) and go shoot some rolls - start looking at how many keepers you get and how you get more compelling compositions.

What a strange obsession to slag off Leica products. Your comparison doesn’t work at all.

I’d rather have the 18 1.4 Fuji lens. Quality is unmatched! I do own the 18mm. XT5. The real reason most people like Fuji is the film simulations.

Comparing anything to a Leica just feels like a non-starter. it's a luxury product first a foremost. I tried the Q3 - not the 43, the original 28mm version, and I was very impressed. I think I would opt to get the 43 if I really had to get one, but I still prefer the size and approachability of my X100V. The Q3 felt as big as my XH2 with the 33mm f1.4 on it, and it felt like it attracted attention being this big black camera in the same way as my XH2. My X100V and X100VI have been with me on so many trips and it just hides away as an unassuming "film" camera when it's around my neck. Love it.

The Viltrox 13mm f1.4, 27mm f1.2 and 75mm f1.2 are some of the best lenses you can get for the Fuji X mount, if Fuji had made them they would be 2-3 times more expensive.

As a Fuji fan, I mean the whole point of leica q3 is being compact hehe

hahaha… right! 😁

I pair Viltrox 27 f1.2 with Fuji XT4 for almost every work.. it's a great lens! I will make a video about it too.. thank you for sharing man.. Love your work..

I tried the Viltrox, but it was too heavy, for me, to use as an everyday carry solution with an X-T or X-H body. However, the Fujifilm XF 30mm macro (45mm equivalent) or XF 27mm pancake (40mm equivalent) work well for me unless I need something for low light environments or outdoor portraits.

No, you don't get that because of distortion and compression, you don't get the compact size, the better sensor, the better evf, the better build quality, the APO lens, the better looking design ( yes it's subjective but i think that most people would say that). Even the phone app is better, the wifi connectivity is better. I am so getting tired of weird comparisons and frankly... deceiving videos like this one. No, you won't get even close to the leica with that setup. Is it a bad setup? No! Is it leica level? No!

I was waiting for someone to make this video. Thank you for your efforts. Love your work.

Yes brand new update to make it worse than the previous update 😂

People in the UK seem to pay more for used camera gear than we in North America pay for new gear.

In Germany, the XH2 costs 1944€, a Sony A7 IV 1899€. Sonys AF is years ahead of Fujifilm, the lens lineup is much broader, while Fujifilm has much too many old and outdated noisy and slow focusing lenses. Since the 18/23/33 mm were released, there wasn't a single new relevant new prime lens or an update to the very old lenses, the 16-55/2.8 being the only exception (after 10 years...). Fujifilm has to change its pricing policy. Sold my XH2 and half a dozen of lenses (including the 18/23/33 mm f1.4). The 18mm is still a great option, as the depth of field of a 18mm helps avoiding so many false positive eye AF results. Very different with the 50/1.0. Fujifilm doesn't have a single fast and silent focusing fast portrait lens in the range 40-80mm. Not a great choice if someone is shooting a lot of portraits (in a silent environment). The 50-140mm is over ten years old. They simply crippled their R&D department to optimise profitability. Very short sighted.
