Do you have an XH2 or an XT5? Or, are you still in the market for one? Which do you prefer and why???
i just sold my x-t4 and saved a little for the xh2. to be honest: the ergonomics of the x-t series are bad. and if you shoot much, you will hate it sometimes
@@byproduct8849 yeah I get that. I wish the XT5 had a proper grip
I am looking to upgrade my X-T2. I'm a teacher, but I take loads of pictures for school. I take pictures of the marching band, performances, football games, team pictures, and portrait pictures. Which one should I go with? Also, would my lenses for X-T2 work with either one?
@@adenikea1 the x-s20 in my opinion. is has the new autofocus algorhytm, ibis and overall good specs for the price. but i think you should do a lil research by yourself
@@adenikea1 yes your lenses will work with either one. Both are great but the XH2 is geared more towards heavy pro use and sports
I have both the XT5 AND XH2 In my camera collection, they are similar in some ways and different in others. The reason that I have both cameras goes back to the XT 3. The XT 3 was the first fujifilm camera that I had purchased, I had cameras from Panasonic, Pentax and Olympus and I use them for different purposes. I have been looking at the Xt camera bodies for some time, all the cameras that I own have been based on the DSLR style body. The good thing was that this style of body could handle any size lens, the fujifilm XT3 was a more compact body with a style that reminded me of my old film camera, I bought the XT3 after the XT4 WAS released, if it kept the screen of the XT3 I would have bought it but they used the flip out screen like most mirrorless cameras so I bought a slightly used XT3. I was so impressed with the camera that I wanted to wait to see what fujifilm would release next, while I waited I picked up a few lenses one of them being a 100-400mm fujifilm zoom. The lens was just what the doctor ordered but it overwhelmed the XT3 Body. When the XH 2S WAS released l didn't need the speed and I use the camera for stills,then the XH2 was released and it was the answer to what to do with the 100-400mm fujifilm lens, the body and grip were a perfect match for the 100100-400mm lens and for me has become my wildlife and landscapes camera when I need to use long glass. The xt5 was unexpectedly released with the same 40mp sensor and the same screen as the XT3, it was like an XT3 on steroids. It was the APSC camera that I waited 16 years for, that is how long I have been using digital cameras. with the XT5 my collection of cameras is complete.
Thanks Pete. I always pick up something new from your videos. For example, I didn’t realize that the X-T5’s LCD screen had a higher resolution than the X-H2’s.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the vids.
XT5, because I am an old git I like the analogue, I don't shoot video so don't need the car door mirror rear screen, which would also get in the way doing street. I don't need a big grip because out of habit (film) I hold the camera in my left hand, palm under the base, finger & thumb around the lens barrel. No wildlife but some sport and it works mighty fine indeed. But I can see why some people like and use the X-H2.
Thank you so much for making this video! Super helpful (:
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for this video. For me, the lack of a vertical trigger on a battery grip was a dealbreaker on the XT5. I was able to pick up the XH2 at B&H with the free battery grip and sale price for only $150 more than just the XT5. I honestly can’t believe that Fuji didn’t offer a battery grip option on the XT five since the XT, one, two, three, and four all gave you that option. And even though I do 95% photography, I also shoot 98% of the time in aperture priority with AUTO ISO, so even on my XT cameras normally the shutter and ISO dials are locked anyway.
Yes, I feel the same way. They should have offered a grip for the X-T5. I think you made the right move getting the XH2.
Super helpful man! I’m still not sure which to go with until I feel them in my hand. ❤
Glad I could help!
I agree with you but I feel it’s more complicated than that, at least for me. Where I live there are no camera shops carrying either camera.
I recently travel to visit a family member and took the opportunity to visit a shop. They had an X-T5 demo but no X-H2 demo. I could only look at the X-H2 and feel it through the plastic wrap that comes in the box.
My first impression is that the difference in size or weight is not as big as I originally thought. The X-T5 build is not bad; the knobs are plastic but seemed sturdy and well built. Yes, I would have preferred metal. The X-T5 looks great if you love the old look, but the X-H2 didn’t look as boring as I expected either.
Superficially, pretty much what I’ve heard in videos is about right in terms of look and feel. I think the difference will be in how each person likes to work.
As much as I loved the look of the X-T5, I know I will end up using the front and back dial by the shutter to adjust the exposure simply because I like keep my eye on the evf.
On the other hand, the LCD of the X-T5 is very enticing. I feel I can use it to shoot from the hip like I did with a twin-reflex camera I used once with much fun.
Unfortunately the time I spent at the shop didn’t give me enough information as to which one I would prefer. I think they each have their advantage and unless you spent sufficient time using both, you won’t know what you prefer.
In summary, I feel the X-T5 will motivate me to go and shoot more, but the ergonomics of the X-H2 fit more my style of working with cameras. I haven’t worked with a camera with knobs in so long that I don’t know how I would feel or adjust my workflow going back. That’s really my dilema.
i have both and im finding the ergos on the H2 more to my liking i prefer the screen tilt on the T5 so thats what i use for street with the 27mm pancake
Nice video. Bought a couple XT5 bodies for short form videos / b roll. Chose the XT5 because I can continue using the 100’s of SD cards. The cost difference of the bodies is small, but when I added multiple CF cards the price got significantly higher. The XT5 does 90% of the XH, and yeah, the retro look is pretty cool. ;-)
Great reasoning and choice!
Made sense for me to go for the XT-5. Though I loved the XH1 I realized I chose APSC for the size, so XH2 didn’t make sense for me since I use Fuji strictly for photos. I find the ergonomics of the XT5 perfect for my hands, and it’s so small! I held it next to an x100V with the TT Artisan 27mm pancake and the XT5 was about the same size! I also love the return of the 3 way tilt screen (which I loved on the XH1). XT5 is the best Fujifilm camera for me as it fits all my needs. Plus the new firmware update today autofocus is incredible! My 35 1.4 focus has never been faster or stickier lol (I may go buy and other XH1 because I do miss it, a special camera and highly underrated)
XT5 has excellent ergonomics for such a small camera. That was one of the first things I noticed about it.
Similar reasoning here for the X-T5 over the X-H2. I originally bought an X-H1 from KEH used, which I loved but I had changed to Fujifilm from Sony for the fun of shooting photos. Though I loved the images that came out of the X-H1 it was too heavy and too like my A7III for me. I love to shoot photos not use the video capabilities so much. I returned the X-H1 and sprung for the X-T5 and I am totally in LOVE. I too have the TTArtisans 27mm f2.8 lens as well as the Fuji 18-55mm f2.8-4 and the Viltrox 75mm f1.2. I love Fujifilm and now I shoot every single day. The images that come SOOC are wonderful. Such a change from my Sony usage. My A7III sat on the shelf for 2 years unused. Also, now that third party lens manufacturers are releasing so many good lenses for Fuji and Fuji’s own great lenses are available, I don’t miss full frame at all. I hadn’t realized that I missed just shooting until I got my X-T5 in my hands. I’m very happy that I switched to Fujifilm.
@@DarqChildNYC I just ordered a used copy of the Viltrox 75 for $400. Seemed like a great deal. How do you like it?
@@daniel_b_living6133 I LOVE it. The quality is great even wide open. The compression is phenomenal. You definitely won’t be disappointed & $400 is a great deal. It’s a big lens though but I use it for portraits in studio mostly.
Very helpful video!
Glad you think so!
I just sold my XT4 as I really loved the higher resolution photos of the XT5. Initially, I had not even considered the XH2 but now I'm in a quandary. I really am not a video shooter; however, I like the idea of a bigger body and the PASM dial - perhaps I'll give it a go. I love all things Fuji for nearly 15 years. A guy took a photo with a Fuji camera and sent me the JPG file for inclusion on my club's web site. I couldn't believe the color and detail. This was back in 2004 - at that moment, I became a fan. I have an 80th anniversary XT1. I love it and won't ever give it up!
The XH2 is a fun camera to use. I’m sure you will love it.
Did you notice a big upgrade from the xt4? I’m on the fence. I’d love better auto focus for kid stuff, and better resolution for gig work. I’ve heard it’s not a huge upgrade over the 4 in auto focus.
I have an xt30 now and after this video I’m thinking to get the xh2, i mostly do concert photography, where i usually use burst mode, and videos
Nice! You will love it for sure.
Have an xh2s and was needing a 2nd after ditching the Sony gear, heart said Xt5 but head said xh2, better evf and grip although not fan of the flippy screen. When I had the xt3 the dials did annoy me to the point I set it so I didn’t have to use them but not getting away from it does look cool… in the end I’ve just ordered an XH2, the head won 🏆
You made the right choice, especially if the dials were annoying to you haha. It's always best to have 2 of the same camera if you can.
I prefer the xt5 as I had an xt3 but I bought the xh2 because of where the joy stick is positioned and the shutter button better for one hand shooting also now enjoy using the larger f1.4 lenses as they balance better. Also the diopter now works with out my glasses on my right eye. What I miss is the push in dials and the tilting lcd screen. Still kept my xt3 and converted it to IR. Also kept my xe1 which I used as b&w only wished they did a xt5 monochrome which would be awesome.
Ordered an X-T5, 12 days til I get my hands on it.. 1st new new camera I've gotten since the Canon 6D came out lol.. though I've gone through a dozen or so used cameras during that time.. Stepping up from, but keeping, my beloved X-T2, which probably has 200,000 shots on it.. I still find the T2 to be very capable, so when it came time to get something I considered everything from the T3, T4 and both X-H2's.. I was convinced the X-H2 was the right call (buffer, EVF advantages) but at the last minute went for the T5.. one factor was that I prefer the tilty screen, but if I'm really being honest it's just that the T5 in silver is so damn sexy 😆😅
Awesome! You're gonna love the X-T5. I have zero regrets and got the silver too. 😀💪
I love the feel and look of the X-T5 as I myself use the X-T3 but would really love to try the X-H2S as it look more favorable to my work style
Get one of each! haha
I'm thinking of selling my XH2s let me know if your interested
I really couldn’t make up my mind, so my wife knocked some sense into me.
I really like the size and LCD design of the X-T5, and I absolutely love the look of this camera. I shoot mostly still photographs, and have not desire for videography. So why the X-H2?
First, I compose and shoot overwhelmingly through the evf. That high resolution evf sounded like a plus to me. Also, I think the PASM workflow will be more efficient for me, especially with the button and dial interface of the X-H2. My wife also warned me my teenage kids would lose patience if they had to wait for me to turn several knobs to switch shooting modes.
As much as I love the look of the X-T5, the idea of working with knobs, and shooting incognito from the hip with that LCD, practical matters pushed me to the X-H2. Is one thing to romanticize working with knobs, and is another to ignore reality of how I typically like to work. Having to take my eye of the evf to adjust a knob would frustrate me in the end.
This will be my first camera since my Nikon D90. Looking forward to shooting with the XF 50mm f1.4 and the 18mm f2. Pete, any recommendations on good small portrait lenses? I’ve been looking for a 50 or 56mm lens; although the Viltrox 75mm f1.2 seems tempting
Awesome! I think you made a good choice. You are gonna love it. The 56mm is really good, I have the 50 f/1 and love it but it's very large and cumbersome. The Viltrox is good too, but again not the most compact. Size-wise, the 56 1.2 feels really perfect on the camera.
@@PeteCocoPhoto Haha… You’re going to get a kick out of this. When it came down to pulling the trigger, I couldn’t do it!!! I bought the x-T5.
I am a photographer first and in the end wanted a camera that’s going to excite me; something small I can carry around. I wanted something more conspicuous for street/documentary. I also realized through the manual that there are ways of customizing the command wheel to adjust the shutter and aperture.
It’s a different working process but I am sure I will get used to it. My first camera was all knobs.
Thanks for the recommendation; yes the Viltrox 75mm is on the big side. I did like the size of the 56mm lens and that’s what drew me back to it in the end.
LOL you sounded so certain on the X-H2! I’m going to upgrade from the X-T2 to the X-T5 and can’t wait!
@@vgfjr505 great!!!
I had the X-H2 for about a week and returned it for the X-T5. At the time, I was prioritizing size/compactness. The X-H2 was just a bit big for what I wanted. That said, I think I prefer the X-H2 grip, and being able to quickly change all settings with the C1-C7 is pretty awesome.
I like both but the XT5 is the one I bought as well.
You can set any custom button on the X-T5 to switch between the C1-7 modes. Honestly that makes much more sense than having them all cramped into one wheel together with the Video mode etc. Honestly it's kinda astonishing that X-H2 didn't get the Stills/Video switcher that X-T4&5 have. Imagine trying to switch to video in the dark on X-H2 and having to spin through all C-modes, what a nightmare.
@@fotografalexandernikolis It isn't the same. The C1-C7 modes only save Jpeg IQ settings, not exposure settings like shutter and aperture, photometry, frames per second, AF settings, or the ISO value. Apples and oranges.
@@matthewwells1606 Well, it's still very stupid of Fuji to put the Video mode on the same dial instead of a separate one.
As for which settings are saved, it makes sense that X-T5 can't save as many settings since many of them are determined by physical dials.
@@fotografalexandernikolis Oh, sure, I agree. The physical dials make it impossible. But it's a unique selling point of the C1-C7 user banks that you can go from a five second exposure on matrix metering with a certain base ISO etc. for long exposure landscapes to shooting fast action or wildlife with a different ISO, higher frames per second, specific base shutter speed, single point metering, subject tracking, etc., with just one turn of the knob. Not necessary for me personally, but I understand why people like the option.
Size and extra features lead me to the XH2 Large battery grip for my large hands, full size HDMI, faster buffering, better evf, Cfexpress slot, 8k video for 300.00 more. My Sabrent 500gig CFEXPRESS cost me 200.00. I do miss the Fuji dials, but not that much.
Nice ojective video as always Pete.
Now I'm eyeing the Nikon Z8 for a fullvsize sensor. I was thinking about the XH2S, but for the price Im loving the Z8.
Thank you! Z8 looks pretty amazing. I'm still using my Canon R5 and not in any hurry to give it up. I like having a full frame option.
Why did you choose the XH2 over the XH2s?
@@bearinmind101 I didn't. I have a review copy on loan from B&H. I own the XT5 as my main portrait camera. I like having the higher resolution and it's more than fast enough for portraits. I am getting an XH2s for review (hopefully soon) so I'm interested in seeing how it compares.
@joshkosloski5139 better resolution for landscape is why I chose the XH2. Now I'm thinking about selling my gear and going Nikon Z8. The best of both worlds XH2 and XH2S.
appreciate your videos :) I have the XT4 and the XH2s, and what I notice is that the XH line has many idiosyncrasies that we have to re learn...I prefer the menu system of the XT series...double tap the joystick to center, quickly flip through the film simulations recipes through the Q button, quickly toggle between Manual, Continuous, and Single shot, and the ability to change exposure compensation when ISO is in Auto at any point....with all of that, the XH2s feels like a Tesla which just has this raw power that can snatch focus at any time, while the XT series feels like an old porsche - it drifts, not perfect autofocus, but within those limitations, you find the freedom of total control.
Thanks! The XT5 has those same menu idiosyncrasies relating the AF joystick. I wish they would change it back.
The X-H2 is ergonomically superior to the X-T5, I use exactly the same bags I used with my X-T3 so size factor is not a negative point in my case. Changing the settings with theX-H2 is so productive but you have to master this beast…and read carefully the user guide 😂
The XT5 is actually really comfortable though, more than I would have thought.
Depend on hand sizes
I just picked up the XH2 and you know what sold me? I’m left eye dominant. The evf sticks out more and I have room for my nose and can still use the joystick!
Trying to use the xt5 with my big hands and head was just that little bit too cramping.
You know my vote! :).
Haha yes sir
Sensible overall review. Have owned XT20, XT2 for some years and had been waiting for Fujifilm to get into the present with AF- I ran out of patience and purchased a S10- mistake. It's an excellent camera, however, AF cannot hold a candle, in my perhaps skill challenged hands and brain, on AF. Missed quite a few portrait and people type shots with the S10. So for this type of work, purchased the excellent Sigma 56 1.4 and borrow a mate's 4/5 year old Sony a6400- just magic IAF- why has Fujifilm taken so low.
The XT5 is obviously a top camera, however I would prefer its slightly more expensive sibling, PASM is great- fully appreciate many don't share this view- also, believe I would prefer the larger body + ability to add battery grip to its sibling, with the S10, battery life is very disappointing and purchased a mint used battery grip for my XT2.
Video is, unlike most others in the world, largely irrelevant to me.
Aware of the lens "compatibility" possible issues with the new bodies, though most of my glass should pass . If not, will probably be getting the excellent Sigma 28-50 2.8.
Yes, will be testing the new body to make sure the AF is as reviewers have stated.
Don’t worry about lens optimization. It really doesn’t matter at all - I use a variety of lenses on the xt5 and have no complaints (both old and new).
As an owner of the XT2 since launch, I chose the XH2. It isn't my XT2 replacement. It's my work horse camera and the XT2 becomes my leisure camera. The deciding factor is the CFExpress card. Its seemingly unlimited buffer is very important when I shoot at an event. I dont want to miss a shot while my camera is buffering.
How do you deal with the rolling shutter is it still noticeable if you're panning slowly?
@@maxkalikster5399 I rarely shoot videos and I use only mechanical shutter so I never have to worry about the rolling shutter.
@@natekong3596 oh
I'm sure you will love the XH2!
I am gravitating more towards the XH2, mainly because of the Ergonomics, the XT5 looks soo good and compact, but as a person with huge hands, I would need an Additional grip for it to feel comfortable.
Also Pete, how about the the Xs20, I am hearing a lot of good things, .
Pick me Pete 📸
Haven't tried the XS20 yet but it's on my list. You will certainly be very happy with the XH2!
Big Hands - Def go for the H2!
Thank you! Since you have tried using both for sometime, does the Xt5 really feels much more compact and lighter after a long period of shooting?
It does feel much more compact especially if you pair it with a compact lens.
I keep seeing people claim the C1-C7 function dial is only available on the H2. It's not. C1-C7 is on the Xt5 and is actually implemented better. On the h2 you have to use two hands to change the custom settings. on the xt5, you program a button on the back to show the C1-C7 options, then use the thumb wheel to select the custom setting and press the wheel in to confirm. IT's way better than on the H2 since you can do it all with your thumb and one hand.
True. I have it mapped to my down button. Super fast and easy.
Hi, thank so much for this info. I am new to Fuji. Is there a link or detailed info how to configure this on XT5?
@@MichelleISR long press the display button then you can map custom setting to wherever you want.
For me, the XH2 is more practical for my work since I can change the custom setting while my camera is off. With your method, yes you can do it with your right hand but it takes too much time and too many button pushing/scrolling.
The X-T3/4 also has this but it only saved color settings I believe.
There are more options in the X-T5, but the X-H2 has even more options, it can save the focus mode and area for example.
Can’t decide between the XT5 the HS2 and the new XS20! 🤯
I want to try the XS20. Hopefully I will get one for testing soon.
I currently have a Sony a6400 and need to decide between the X-T5 and X-H2. I do mainly wildlife and bird photography. I am not sure I like the retro look of the X-T5? Is the X-H2 a lot bigger? And for only $200 more I think the best value is to go with the X-h2?
XH2 is a bit chunkier, esp in the grip. If you don't like the idea of retro dials then the XH2 is your answer.
Neither, I went with the XH2S. Still, I plan on getting the XT5 as well😁
Do it! Lol
XH2 all day! Pick me Pete.
Atm i shoot on the xh2s and i have to say its a beast! But im looking for a second body to round up my setup. Now im struggeling if i should get the xt5 for her estetics, her charme and her also good photo abilitys or should i go for the xh2. Xh2 on my hands would be much better i have big hands and the overall usage is well known because ich use the xh2s. Sad thing is im not that much of a video shooter. Its mostly the photography part. What would u prefer ? Im atm 70%xh2 and 30%xt5 😂
You'll be happy either way but the advantage of the XH2 is that it's basically the exact same camera so you won't have any learning curve haha
hello, I am writing from Turkey, first of all, thanks for the nice clear comparison, it helped me a lot, who was in the same dilemma, I don't know if there is a situation where we can only feel the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit, and I don't know where we will feel it and I wonder if there is a heating problem in xt5 on the video side, Thank you :) I translate with google translate, forgive if there is a wrong sentence, greetings
Thank you! I have not had any heating issues with the XT5 but the longest I've done video for is about 30 minutes. If you are looking for better video and worried about overheating, I recommend the XH2.
Pete, what lenses do you find yourself using with the 40 mp sensor?
I love using the 16-55 2.8. It's super sharp. Viltrox 75 is quite the portrait lens too.
There is one problem you didnt cover fully , meaning the new cards , yes they are faster but also it can happen a lot a third party you want to give over the pics for sending editing or whatever the job requires cant use them at all if they dont have the external reader for them.
And since those cards are still niche they can be a serious problem.
And honestly i have done sports fotos and usually need only a burst for the few seconds who get interesting , if you need 1000 image burst simply film it. But true that the xt5 is a bit short.
Thanks for the insights!
Great vid. Im still undecided 🤔 im a landscape and macro enthusiast with birding of puffins and kingfishers now and wildlife of deer in the winter months. 🤷🏻♀️ ... Pick me pete 📸
The XH2 is probably a better choice in that case but both are great
Keep up the great content, Pick me Pete 📷
Thanks! Will do!
XH2 easy
Yeah but I love my XT5.
XH2 = most for job/pro (spec & size)
XT5 = most for hobby and easy to bring outside anytime
I use the X-T5 for pro work quite often and it's great
@@PeteCocoPhoto well.. both can be use for professional 😅
But size wise, XT series easy for daily
@@guruguruhara9057 That's one of the best things about the XT5. It's so easy to take everywhere
The CFexpress type B card can be obtained at low prices
True they’ve come down in price.
@@PeteCocoPhoto there’s also companies that have been selling them a very affordable price points. Angelbird has always sold their 512gb cf cards for $180
the thing most people need to understand is that these days, most camera companies are releasing cameras that compliment each other. Meaning, they are designing cameras with the intent that the customer buys two bodies. If you are shooting multiple genres or as explained in the video, a hybrid shooter, you really should have two of these fuji bodies. Either the h2s & H2 or the h2s & Xt5. Having both the xt5 and the h2 doesn't really make sense.
Yes, this definitely makes sense for anyone shooting professionally. You must have a backup body anyway.
I went with an XT5. Pick Me Pete📸‼️
After watching this I ended up getting the XT5 as I was more interested in photography than video. Pick me Pete 📷
Cool, enjoy!
Pick me Pete! 📸
Fuji put the photo/video toggle switch on the wrong camera. This is an extremely useful feature for hybrid shooters, so it should be on the hybrid camera, not the photo primary camera. Makes no sense.
Agreed but they probably figured it was just as easy to have C1 stills and C2 video.
XT5: unergonomic design, grip too small, much worse balance with heavier lenses, worse EVF; no cf express card (SD much slower SD, fast SD cards much more expensive, compared per GB), smaller buffer.
When switching from sports to portrait - during a football game - or from portrait to studio/flash/macro .... - with the X T5 have to change 10-15 settings with the dials and menue settings, trying not to forget one of them.... whereas the XH2 is solving this with one turn of the PASM dial. In my use cases, I am changing these settings 3-5 times a day. This would be nightmare with the XT5.
I don't think it's all that bad haha. But yes, I agree for sports go with that PASM dial. When I use the XT5 for sports I just use the front/rear command dials like I would on the XH2.
@@PeteCocoPhoto It IS that bad when you forget to change focus mode in a hot pinch. On the X-Ts you can't set that in a custom menu. Also the custom menus on the dial are AMAZING! I use the extremes for what I need most often: C7 for birds-in-flight set to burst mode and C1 for people/portraits. It's a set and forget system.
If you're shooting sports and need to quickly do another kind of shooting, a simple twist of a single dial gets you there.
It’s worth getting the X-T5 just so I don’t have to be burdened with the damn side hinged flippy, flappy, take forever rear screen. Whether for photography or video.
Yeah I feel that. The flippy screen just sucks.
Are both cameras suitable for virtual tours?
Sure!
Is the xt-5 a capable wildlife/ bird camera? Or is it mainly a stills/ street camera
Yes, I did a video about it: ua-cam.com/video/P9Kcnoh5rWk/v-deo.html
It is definitely limited in the buffer though so it wouldn't be my first choice if that was my main genre. But for occasional sports and birding, I have found it to do well.
@@PeteCocoPhoto Thank you for the reply. The a6400 only supports UHS-I and the XT-5 UHS-II V90, and I have not had any issues using the a6400? I do not do any burst shooting longer than 3 seconds. I follow Jared Polin (Froknows) philosophy, If you do longer sustained shooting, one should be capturing the scene via video. I am a proponent of burst shot release burst. Am I missing some other limitation in the processor that may limit me with XT-5, than what I am currently using .. a6400?
@@mden2490 Hmmm not that I can think of. Other than the limited burst, I found it to be quite capable as a sports camera.
@@PeteCocoPhoto thank you
Can the xh2 8k raw with an external recorder?
yep
Of course H2
Just get one of each! 😃

i want to shoot sports but i want the xt5 style can i get away with it?
Eh not as a main sports camera. Once in a while it's okay but it doesn't have the speed/buffer to really do a long day of shooting sports, esp in the heat.
@@PeteCocoPhoto yeah thats what I thought, but atleast for the moment. until I can purchase the xh2. thanks for the reply 👍 Good stuff

It's a pity that the XH2 doesn't have a video/photo switch.
It's not so bad if you set up the C dials but yeah I would like a dial too
Pick me Pete! (Viltrox lens giveaway)
Imagine if the X-H2 and the X-T5 were the same camera! I'd get one. Let's see what they come out with next. 2-3 years? LOL
They did that already it was called the XT4 and people were not happy!😆
