      sigma fp(cdng, organic colors, iso6 turbo up to18 EV DR and surprises in the new firmware v1.0-v4.0)
      If you don't need 4k high fps, the sigma fp really has nothing to complain about except the fixed screen.
      And oddly, the fp is also comfortable as a still picture camera and has some extremely unique advantages. But the electronic shutter will limit the high shutter speed under flash and strobe light sources.
      So, Sigma when will you building the inter-lens shutter lens or an adapter ring with a built-in shutter!!!!

    I shoot on a XH2S. I tried my mate's FX3 and loved it too! I still prefer my XH2S as it can be a very competent stills camera, but you can't go wrong with either system. The upside to Sony is definitely lens selection, but I just enjoy using Fuji cameras more.

    I worked with Sony for 5 years but in the past 2-3 I found that Fuji offers me an overall more pleasing image that suits me. When describing what "image quality" means I think it can be subjective because even when looking at objective stats on cameras, sometimes its indescribable how an image impacts you. For example, we can look at just about any full frame Sony camera and say technically it is better on just about every level than a Blackmagic. However, I still prefer the image of the Blackmagic and cant fully articulate why.

If I only did weddings I should stay with the fuji. But because of the nightlife I think there will be a time where I might jump to FF. I dont want to go over 2000/2500 iso on the fuji.

      I shared some thoughts in a previous comment. Not everyone will agree but it’s been my experience:
      The fx3 active ibis was perfect for how I want ibis to work. It removes microjitters without introducing robotic movements. It looks a bit like a weighed out handheld rig. I have only seen people complain about walking with it which is a misuse of ibis in most cases anyways.
      Different needs for different people and while the Fuji ibis is fine, I’d much rather it not stick as much and have a more natural motion. The lowest ibis setting is too strong for my taste in the Fuji

    That was one of my concerns, but I use the Fx3 as a photo/video camera combined with the A7IV. You almost can’t tell the difference between the photos. Of course the A7iv has more detail if you like crazy zoom in, but not like you expect it. I mix the gallery with both cameras’s pictures and my clients have never noticed any difference. So it’s a really good photo camera. Megapixels are an illusion.

    It's an unpopular opinon about Sony IBIS, but I 100% agree. All I need from IBIS is to remove microjitter that a light gear produces and not create a "gimbal" experience. It is one of the reasons I sold my Lumix S5II, the corner wobble because of strong stabilization is just unusable for me (even noticible on 28mm). Currently can't decide between XH2S and FX3 but I hope renting them will help with a decision. Great video:)

    Can't help but disagree with the IBIS part, I own and use the FX30 and the XH2S on a daily basis. The FX30s IBIS is not usable man. At least in my type of work which is 24fps handheld and 60fps handheld for smooth product shots. And I know the IBIS on the FX30 is newer and "better" than the one on the FX3. Various UA-camrs seem to have opposite opinion on IBISs usability. Nice video mate :)

    When price is brought into the equation I think the X-H2S faults can be fairly forgiven. Absolutely if you need waveforms and all of that the FX3 is a better camera. But the sensor, for the price, on the H2S is incredibly good. Competing with FF cameras at least twice the price in both DR and latitude. It’s kinda insane Fuji did it. Really looking forward to what Fuji does with future cameras in this line!

    FX3. It has controls actually made for video. I’m not too keen on hybrid cameras and much rather have one for each thing rather than one that tries both half arsed. The tally lights on the FX3 are a life saver. I don’t know how many interviews have been saved by them. No tally lights mean forgetting to record. Proper XLR ports are a must for proper lav mics (the Bluetooth stuff isn’t reliable enough) and good shotguns. XLR is a must for plugging straight into court room audio or mixer tables.
    To me these two cameras aren’t really comparable.the xh2s is a hybrid camera and the fx3 is a video camera. The A7s3 or A7iv would be the proper comparison.
    Most UA-camrs focus on specs and image quality but I hear very very little talk about actual usability and ergos which is where the FX3 shines.

    Considering that Fuji outsells ALL other brands in both DX and medium format ...
    Well, I'd say that Fuji offers more for your money, and offers the most desirable features at the best price overall. Sony doesn't even make their own lenses, so you'd occasionally be dealing with a different company when warranty issues come up. Sony does it all - they just don't do it all very economically, or even anywhere near the best quality. The only reason why you don't want a Fuji is if you absolutely don't want a mirrorless camera.
