    I think the X-H1 actually has the x-trans iii sensor, but anyway, thank you for the good comparison. For me personally, I'm fine with my X-H1 and plan to use it for years to come.

    Having recently retired from professional photography I decided to skip the X-H2s and X-T5, and am still using my X-T2 and X-H1. They do everything I ask for :)

    • @GregCarrick
      @GregCarrick Рік тому +2

      @@valeries4205 Really the main difference is whether or not you want some IBIS (Stabilisation in the camera body). Otherwise, same sensor and processor, so the images are identical.

  • @davidbarba4976
    @davidbarba4976 2 роки тому +8

    The clunking noise that was mentioned in the x-h1 is totally normal and is related to the image stabilization mechanism. Nothing to worry about. I love my xh1 and was disappointed to see Fuji eliminate the multiple control dials for a PASM dial. There are great deals on the xh1 and for the difference in upgrade price you can buy some really nice glass and in my opinion a better investment.

    • @tazsmith
      @tazsmith  2 роки тому +1

      Totally agree. For photos the X-h1 holds its own very well!

    • @thegrayyernaut
      @thegrayyernaut 2 роки тому +2

      I think they want to separate the X-T and X-H line with that PASM design choice. I think they want people who prefer the old-school design to buy X-T products and people who just want to get jobs done to buy X-H products. So, aesthetics vs. practicality. Just my thought since the X-T5 is out now.

    @d.idowuolutosin4250 2 роки тому +4

    Great comparison. I used to own the X-H1 and sold it for a LUMIX S5. Now that the X-H2 is out, I'm seriously considering selling my S5 and replacing it with the X-H2. I'm a photographer, so I don't really care about the video capabilities of any camera. Don't get me wrong, the S5 is a solid camera but having L-mount lenses is a pain because I can't use them on any other camera. 60% of my lenses are M mount and with adapters, it's easy to use them all on my Leica, Fujifilm, and LUMIX cameras.
    The only problem I see from a photography standpoint with the X-H2/2s is it not having two SD slots. I see the advantage for CF Express if you're shooting video but not for photography. I might have to take another look at the X-T4 because of it. I do miss my X-H1 though. Solid camera for photography.

    • @tazsmith
      @tazsmith  2 роки тому +1

      X-t4 is a solid camera. I have 2 of them. When it comes to photography since the X-t2 they are all very similar. X-h2 is the best but not by much compared to the x-t4

    • @tazsmith
      @tazsmith  2 роки тому +2

      I also was hesitant with CF card but I admit I wish it was dual CF. They are so fast.

      @@tazsmith this is the problem for photographers, too many cameras to choose from. Too many choices leaves one with analysis paralysis. That said, I’m in no rush to purchase a new camera and the X-T3 paired with my X-Pro3 can still get the job done with my existing lenses. Carrying around additional batteries has never been an issue for me.
      I’m more concerned with what the camera can do for the job I’m performing. If I by the X-T4 then I have to invest in yet another battery type. I have too many different camera batteries as it is. So if I decide to purchase another camera it will more than likely be the X-T3 over the X-T4 unless when the X-Pro4 is announced it compels me to buy it. I’m sure it will have the same batter as the X-T4 and the X-H2/2s cameras.

  • @jpr-tech
    @jpr-tech 2 роки тому +16

    Good comparison and great samples. But a quick correction, the X-H1 (X-T2) have the X-Trans III sensor (not 2).
    But I'm so glad to hear you mention the problem with the 2nd card slot on the X-H2(s)!
    I mentioned that on my "why I'm not upgrading to the X-H2s" video.

    I bought the XH1 with battery grip a couple years ago and love it. Haven’t had time to shoot it much due to work, but I will only buy another Fuji if IBIS is part of Fuji camera. The XH2 isn’t compelling enough for me to upgrade

    • @matthewjutzen424

      The X-S20 also has IBIS and a smaller form factor, it's sort of like the less premium version of the X-H cameras.

      The XTrans1 sensor was in the XPro1 and XE1; XTrans2 was in the XT1, X100S, XE2, X70; XTrans 3 was in the XH1, XT2, XPro2, XE3. You can buy an XH1 with battery grip on the used market for about $1000. Deal of the century, I'm not parting with mine.

  • @billycheng2800

      It’s all with the dials if you want aperture priority, set your aperture on the ring then turn the dials for the ISO and shutter speed to auto if you want shutter priority, set your shutter speed then turn your aperture ring, and I also dialed to auto
