#fujifilmxh2s #camerareview #cinematography - Фільми й анімація
Fuji X-H2s for me is natural succesor of X-T4,improved AF,improved codecs,better IBIS and great sensor readout and amazing dynamic range in FLOG2, filming with X-H2S is pure fun.
Fuji should take the xh2s, put it in a box and call it a cinema camera
Also add some mere cinema camera features, waveforms, anamorphic support etc.
Lol thank god they didn’t I love how compact it is. If I want better cooling I get the fan. If I want xlr ports I get the tazcam adapter. The body has a lot!
U meant as a box shape. Right?
@@gokul_ml absolutely! I could even see fuji producing their own version of the c70
@@nic_dre c70 is a beast 💥
I’ll say this right here and I’m not kidding when I say this. In 14bit readout the camera turns into something absolutely incredible. I can’t describe it… it just looks like an image from a much much more expensive camera.
F-log2 is truly something special. It's a definite notch above the original F-log or Eterna + DR400%. I have never felt the need to use F-log on my X-T3, but F-log2 has it's allure.
@@BTMovieSecondChannel I own the xh2 and xh2s. For the xh2s the flog2 is fully utilized meaning it’s reaching that full 14+ stops of dynamic range because of the sensor properties. In the xh2 it’s really good but I can definitely tell you without a doubt the flog2 image produced in the xh2 is not as good as the xh2s. The xh2s looks more organic something you would see on a high end cinema camera where as the xh2 it’s more digital but still extremely good.
@@adnan_velic From what I've seen online, yes, that's true! I own just the X-H2S and X-T3, so I can't compare, but I have always felt the footage from the X-H2S looked a little more special in F-log2.
This is the best review iv'e seen so far, which giving a better explanation and great examples of images and videos. Worth to watch and not a waste of time.
SO much helpful information in this review that wasn't presented anywhere else. Fantastic work here, thank you!
I’m filming with this camera in LA now and I’m super excited to share the results. Thanks for the informative and in depth review.
Please do so!
dont care didnt ask
Been impatiently waiting for this one.
Best review so far for my camera. Thanks a lot.
informative 25mins on Fujifilm. Thanks CVP
Great review. One of the few worth the time. Congratulations!
wow well done with the video, you covered all topics properly. I was really frustrated regarding low light and dynamic range performance in different modes you covered it properly and in depth, well done!
Best X-H2S review yet.
Dynamic range looks amazing 👍👍
Very informative and entertaining video! Please can I ask what camera you used for the talking head pieces? It looks great.
best review for XH2s on UA-cam.
best reviews of any cameras here
Hoenstly it's a great camera but needs a better menu UI and some software features to make the "mini-cinema" camera they want this to be. Really wish Fuji would just make little cinema camera like a mix between the Komodo and FX6.
Amazing information as always.
Just wondering how lag was while on an external monitor through hdmi port?
For the format - press & hold trash icon & simultaneously down button on dpad.
Things you learn & realise how epic fuji is(ofc for photo guys & most amature videographers as well especially now).
they thought of everything in their system unlike most camera brands.
Great video, but what else did CVP miss?
Something that doesn’t get enough attention is the battery grips for Fuji actually let you run three batteries total. Two in the extended and one in the original spot. I really wish Canon and Sony would get on board with this.
Do the battery grips for Canon and Sony only allow you to use the two batteries in the grip?
@@BTMovieSecondChannel Yes. There’s essentially a dummy battery inside the regular grip portion. It’s old in design. Fuji kills them at this.
@@TwoOneSe7en That’s a real bummer! I have my battery grip on my X-T3 almost exclusively at jobs. It’s really a great way to increase ergonomics and triple the battery life.
@@TwoOneSe7enfujis batteries are a bit smaller so it’s easier to do this. Sonys batteries are pretty chonk. But beyond that, the dummy battery actually is what allows the battery grip to help with the overheating in 8K on the Sony a1. So I’d take that over an extra battery.
@@RiceCubeTech Marginally smaller. I’ve had both systems. And while I would agree it COULD, in theory, help with heat… I found quite the contrary when using the battery grip with the A7IV. It didn’t help with overheating issues I was having. Not one bit.
Also, with Fuji… you can run just the two batteries in the bottom with no third if heat is really a concern. So Fuji still wins IMO.
Viltrox make Nd adapters both for Fuji and Sony, the quality is so so as mine seems to have corroded or something, after very little use
Love this camera, next I'm going get the Lumix S5 IIx in may.
Can’t wait to test the X out! Jake
Love to see a GH6 vs XH2s showdown
dpreview has that
Blackmagic needs this sensor in their next pocket 6k
Format is easy. Hold the trash can down then hold the bottom lever on the central dial, and the Format options will pop up.
The XH 1 was a lovely camera ( yes I have owned one) - current happy XT 4 owner - I suspect for many include me the massive spec of ever newer cameras is mind bending and less ‘ real users’ actually need the higher spec. Me ? - fancy an X100 or one of Fujis MF cameras 😎
i was debating between the bmpcc 6k pro and the xh2s and i opted for the 6k pro because of the braw and built in nd, but i think id be happy with the xh2s, the colors are amazing, the image of really clear and the ibis would possibly make up for the lack of nd filters. im having slight buyers remorse but i think i made the right choice for me
Heyo, I have the X-H2s and miss the ND filters ;)
Also, you saved some money, right?
I do enjoy having IBIS, though
@McSnapples A built-in ND filter would obviously up the run and gun game! Maybe even a stepless one as in the FX6 :)
bmpcc 6k pro breaks easy and built in nd is cheap/adds color
@McSnapples I have the BMPCC4k and I am going to purchase the XH2S in a week or so. I think these two would pair well. I love BRAW.
I just have a really nice variable ND filter on all my lenses at all time on my xh2s. Not sure why you couldn’t do the same. Yeah built in nd is nice but there’s a very simple solution for that….
Does the 12bit raw video still down sample from the 14 bit readout?
Whats the proper way to convert flog2 in Resolve? End of the pipeline i add a CST and for Input Color Space i put REC2020 and for Input gamma there is only a flog option and no flog2 option yet. any insight on proper conversations?
Excelent video !!! right know i think the battle is sony fx30 vs fuji xh2s,
Get the Fuji
@@ERJOL its hard for me lol, love both why you prefere fuji?
I’m a Fuji shooter and i’m currently debating this right now. I love the Fuji for photo especially when i travel around, if i happen to meet people and take portraits of them, I could easily print them out directly to my instax printer. The reaction of the people I give them to, is priceless. The Sony is a neat run and gun, one man video shoot. It could use the Sony mic via the multi adapter shoe. Plus Catalyst Browse, albeit an extra step in the workflow and an additional mindset when framing, is quite magical. My issue with the FX30 is that I live in Japan at the moment and the japanese model only has Japanese language in the menu and no option to change it. My Japanese isn’t fluent enough to read everything.
thank you for your opinion man! I always forget the photography side of the industry, I am a videographer and I never look the photo benefits of a camera haha, but Sony just makes everything easy for video and the colors are amazing just I can't take out of my mind the fuji texture, I have a fuji xt3 and its just to good for the money and the hx2s has progress internal
hard decisions here! haha
@@soymezus4637 it's important to point of in which system are you invented first if you have a lot of Sony gear just go for it and if you don't care about the photos.
I've been working in film industry for quite a bit and have the lucky chance to work with different camera as 1stAC from arri to Venice RED including Sony fx3 Canon C line.
I own a Fujifilm xh1 and a black magic 4k. Just recently I decided I'll keep my xh1 at least one more year for the jobs I do and the quality it has is more then enough.
Also as a piece if gear Fuji makes me feel better in sense is wonderful piece if "art" lol but also Fuji glass is better in my opinion despite the breathing some lenses.
I dont think HDR is entirely done before AD conversion. Why do I think that? Because I was using an old version of Vegas pro when I bought it. I had to upgrade, because the software was able to preview the DR 100% footage, but it wasn't able to do it with DR 200% and DR 400%. If it's all done before the conversion and the codec plus resolution is the same, there is no reason this should happen. I think they're doing something after the conversion. Try Vegas Pro 13 and upload all 3 DR options and you'll se the difference. If someone can explain that and tell me if I'm missing something?
I was wondering how this camera works with the atomos ninja v +, in the 6k mode do you get a full 6k hdmi output. I’m currently using a ninja v and it significantly looses resolution, I just want to use it as an external monitor and record internally but it’s almost unusable trying to manually focus with the low res output in the 6k mode. I would consider upgrading my ninja v if this camera paired better with the v+. I also wish Fuji could update the software to support the external recording better.
Beautiful looking footage, Jake.
Thanks Jon! Jake
22:31 i have wave form and time code on my Fujifilm xh1 😆
Hopefully Fujifilm watches you guys
Just imagine, a full cinema camera raw shooting medium format sensor with cine lenses by fuji with their color science 😭🔥🎥
A direct comparison between XH2S and FX30 for video would be nice. I can understand why you may not want to make such a video.
@McSnapples 100% agree here. The specs may look similar on paper like the 4k120p but it’s not about that… the xh2s has a completely different sensor a technology which is far superior to the fx30 sensor. Also that 14bit readout is not a gimmick like when Sony says 15+ stops of dynamic range but actually it’s more like 13.5, now that’s a gimmick…. I like fuji because they are very conservative when they talk about their camera capabilities.
Thank you!!!
Great review if you don`t actually want to use your camera for stills photography. unless you count the last minute or so where it was actually mentioned.
And even though Fuji has never had shutter angle… for X-T cameras at least had 1/48 and 1/120 shutter speeds for 24p and 60p. Those are gone now for some reason. They have the traditional 1/50 and 1/125. Not sure why this is. If they don’t implement shutter angle, I hope they bring the 180° equivalents back.
they're not gone. I have the fuji xh2s and 1/48 exists for sure in movie mode. it only doesnt exist when you are using the flicker free shutter speed setting where it is set by default to 1/50.0 but you can finely adjust the shutter speed to match the flickering of your lights. its a great feature. the one caveat for me is the lack of the ability to shoot shutter speeds that are slower than the framerate in order to get that step printing effect. it only doesnt work on 6.2k 3:2. it works perfectly on the 16:9 and DCI options. You can use interval shooting to mitigate this and get an 8fps with a custom shutter speed which would really look like step printing because you can set the shutter speed to be 1/half the fps you choose. only downside is no audio. I am a narrative film maker ask me anything about the xh2s and i'll be sure to answer (Except for autofocus I do not use autofocus)
@@coastmale Wow man, thank you so much for replying and setting me straight. I was just going off of the pre-release review videos and one or two of those said that 1/48 wasn’t there. Had me concerned. For the run and gun action that I shoot the X-T4 actually did well for me. Is it fair to say this is the same or is it worse? Man I really hoped Fuji was at least on par with DPAF from like a couple years ago. It’s hard to compete with DPAF II and Sonys AF. If Panasonic implements a good Phase Detect AF it might put a hurting on Fuji. Imagine the GH6 having good AF or if Panasonic ever did APSC or the next S1H having PD AF. It’s all they need. I’m still a Fuji fan though. Rooting for them. I loved my X-T4 but the overheating in 60 ruined it for me.
@@TwoOneSe7en unfortunately man I can't help you there. I had the xt3 but to this day I have never owned an autofocus lens. So I do not have experience with autofocus. I always pull focus manually as a narrative filmmaker who uses a tripod and vintage lenses that are manual focus.
@@TwoOneSe7en I have both xt4 and xh2s. I will say the AF is MUCH MUCH better than the xt4 especially in lower light situations. It doesn’t overheat easy like the xt4 in 4k60 because it has a better thermal management system like the original xh1 had. Overall it is a significant improvement over the xt4 in every way. It’s like comparing a Sony a7iii to a a7siii….
@@adnan_velic Solid observations man, thank you.
Is it too late to request the fuji 18-120mm f4 PZ review? It still doesn't have much coverage on UA-cam. The people who have reviewed it seem to be more photography focused and don't make use of the par-focal powerzoom functionalities in the field. It was the first x-mount lens designed in collaboration with fujinon engineers and I'd hate for it to go down as a failed experiment. Even if it misses the mark, I'd love to see what they come up with for future collaborations.
It does have histogram along with the zebras, and other cameras in its price range also doesn’t have waveforms or false color right? Or am I missing others?
It has them yes, but I mention how poor the zebras are in the video. At it's price point Sony & Panasonic options both have better Zebras and the Pocket 6K's have false colour. Jake
@@CVPTV I agree, I never use the zebras actually haha. Didn't know the Pocket 6Ks have false color, that's great! But none of them tho can touch the photo chops of the X-H2s tho. I just use an external monitor to work around this, but it would be a great addition tho if they have it in-camera.
Nice review, but sometimes the accent, the high speed of speech, and losing air/voice volume at the end of a phrase, makes it heard to hear and easy to not hear properly.
I’m surprised people keep mentioning firmware improvements for this camera. I own and enjoy it very much, but I believe Fuji has gone on record saying that firmware improvements that aren’t bug fixes are no longer part of their business practice.
Well that theory failed in retrospect, especially with the latest 3.0 firmware 😁
@ and after that 3.01, 4.00 and 5.00!!!
why in the lowlight test is really noisy? i have the xh2s and it has no any color noise at all :/
The noise tests have their exposure boosted up to show the noise more. Jake
I really really wish Fujifilm ads a False Colour
YES, BEST HYBRID CAMERA
A7-4 is the best, this one follows
@@pavelsuprun8113 You are blind or stupid
@@pavelsuprun8113terrible rolling shutter, expensive lens
If Panasonic has truly mastered the unlimited recording in their bodies, why does this camera overheat, even with the fan? Just put the fan inside the body like the GH6.
so 2500 for an aps-c? is it really?
Fuji will destroy the world when they improve the IBIS, battery and UI+UX. I hope they focus on that and don't try to beat the noise and sensor size from Sony.. what Fuji's offering is already good (if you know how to set your exposure) and fixing these flaws will make them a huge deal.
The price “point”? You mean the price?
no
Xh2s vs Lumix s5, big doubt
rolling shutter and dynamic range is better on the fuji xh2s in aps-c mode in addition to the much better recording options full sized hdmi, open gate recording and true 24fps. The only thing the s5 has that is better is the raw capabilities and dynamic range in full frame only and the waveforms and shutter angle and it is definitely better at low light. But if you want something that can give you a true 24 signal with great dynamic range and amazing rolling shutter the xh2s is the way to go. You know with the open gate recording and cropping into the 1.375 to one aspect ratio which is the Academy ratio you get a fov that is only 6% larger than the legendary Academy ratio on 35mm? great for indie filmmakers such as myself
Not unless it can autofocus as well as Sony.
@@TackJorrance The Fuji system is still a 'real' option. Just because the tracking isn't amazing doesn't mean you still can't get amazing images out of it. Plus the lenses are lightweight and a lot cheaper than the Sony/Canon equivalent. However it of course depends on the style of the content you're shooting whether or not you need af that you can just set and forget.
@@TomWhitchurch I just don't see many use cases for a camera of this form factor to not greatly benefit from reliable autofocus... Sure, working on a set with a crew and a focus puller, you don't need autofocus but nobody is taking this camera to a film set with a dedicated focus puller. Cameras like this are clearly geared towards solo shooters or people that need to stay light and mobile -- autofocus is very helpful in both of those scenarios.
@@TomWhitchurch I expect the hard-core cine crowd used to MF would be happy with it but anyone new getting into videography is going to expect better AF than what I saw in this review. Truthfully, video AF is still in it's infancy with all manufactures, though clearly some are better than others. I'll add that I just returned a Z9 -- stellar oversampled video IQ up to 60p (unfortunately fell apart a 120p) but the video AF was simply unreliable compared to Sony and Canon.
@@TomWhitchurch The lenses are actually not lightweight relative to Sony. Not familiar with Canon's lineup, but most of the E-mount equivalents are of the same weight or less, often at a lower price. Fujifilm lenses are however sharper than most 3rd party and some first party lenses. There's no space or weight savings except for super telephoto zooms.
The real advantage I see to use an XH2S is the 2 flavours of RAW video, and the great stills performance. It's pretty much a BMPCC6K that shoots great stills (although the BM quality is still nicer). I think what Fujifilm needs to do is simply copy the assist features that have been in the GH6 since forever. Even a 2017 GH5 has better assist features.
@@garfieldirwin I would think anyone new who's getting this for things like digital marketing/social media would be better off with a FX30 or A7iv. But people getting this intending to move up the cine world would do their career more justice by learning manual focus. After all they may have to handle (cine) cameras that are not their own some day.
Not even close to be the best hybrid camera at the level of Nikon Z9, Sony A1, or Canon R3.
All of those cameras are at least 2x the price, and that's before you add a few lenses...
You are spot on that those cameras aren't even close to the value of the Fuji.
