  • Today we are testing the Fujifilm X-H2s vs the X-T4. You'll be shocked to see the difference. Today we'll be comparing footage for wildlife, next video will be for vlogging and youtube videos. I took them out, both using the 100-400mm f4.5-5.6. How is the 4k 120p vs the 4k 60p of the XT4? Who has better HD 240p? Stabilization and autofocus? Dynamic range with f-log vs flog2.
    If you buy today's gear through my affiliate links, I'll sell the XH2s and buy the Canon C100 and vlog with the 10-18mm with a dynamic mic so you can't hear my tears.

There's upgrades of course, for me the most important ones are the better AF, 4k 120fps, 6k open gate, braw output, F-log 2 (14 stops of dynamic range), unlimited recording time. Some of these features would help me do my job better, but the price difference plus the missing dials and buttons just doesn't justify it for me. At the end of the day I'm running a business and the X-H2s, at the current price, doesn't justify the upgrades. Either they drop the price to 2000$ or less within the next 6 months or I'll just wait for future cameras, even from other brands.
      I also have to add that the same disappointments i had with the X-T4 are still the same with the X-H2s.

    These results are a little surprising but also not the most scientific tbh. Focus/exposure could be off. We don't know the respective ISOs being used. Also what codecs ? XH2S's ProRes/ProRes Raw should crush XT4's h265. And again the main attraction here is the 6.2K Open Gate mode and low rolling shutter. That's not to say there may be a quality drop on high frame rates, keep in mind though there is no extra cropping like on XT4. Always a tradeoff somewhere.. I'm not even on Fuji system currently but these "findings" have in no way diminished my interest in XH2S and if I was on the system I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade to it. Only negative for me is they dropped the dials, that's the one thing I miss from my Fuji bodies vs Canon/Sony.

    Kasey, this is a tough situation. I want to tell you to give it some time but if you're going to sell it, the time is now. The truth is if it doesn't fit your needs, it is not the tool for you. You already have a "UA-cam" camera with the A7S3, do you need another one? Ultimately these are tools and you should only keep what actually works for you and in this case, the XT4 serves your work perfectly fine.

      @@mbvglider If you've watched this channel long enough, you can tell when Kasey is actually happy with a purchase/gift (but still highlights issues dramatically because that is the source of his comedy) or when he clearly has a real issue with a purchase/gift. I understand he needs to keep acquiring new gear for content but the XH2S is one of those purchases/gifts he clearly has a real issue with. Like any XT4 owner, we now realize that the XH2S isn't a substantial upgrade with the current firmware. The real problem is the XT4 stands toe to toe with the XH2S in many aspects and that means it is a waste to "upgrade". I am sure Fuji is going to come out with at least one major update for the XH2S that makes it really shine but then the XH2 and other cameras will be on their way out by then.

    Just went out and tested this and it do be true. It seems that the 240 fps on the XH2S is just an after thought in every single way. Idk if it was just having a good day or what, but the 4k and HD 120 fps AF was way better and the 4K 60 and 24 fps even more so. Sharpness also improved in 120 fps and below. Weird.
    I do think it's weird that people are dismissing the camera based on its HFR downsides when the camera most people are wanting to get in its place is the A7IV which doesn't even have the option and is cropped 4k 60p but I digress.

    I feel like you’d be better served by ditching the animal detection, putting a monitor on the camera and just going AF-S with MF override adjustments. If you can see the focus on a big monitor you could probably learn to pull focus pretty well. Pretty sure those NatGeo guys and gals aren’t using bullshit bird autofocus algorithms.

    Unless you’re doing a side by side comparison, with the exact lens, exact settings, and most importantly shot at the exact same second, it’s impossible to make a conclusion out of these “tests”. I’d say this is 11/10 user error. Why? Because I own both.
    I’ve used my XT4 extensively for video for more than 2 years. I bought an XH2S one month ago and trust me, the XT4 doesn’t stand a chance.
    I mainly shoot at 4K/60p. And since the XT4 can’t even shoot at 4K/120p, I believe we shouldn’t even touch that topic.
    Firstly, the XH2S can shoot All-Intra at 720mbps. The XT4 at 200mbps with the inferior LongGOP. That alone would make the IQ of the XH2S much, much more superior.
    4:2:2 vs 4:2:0. When I first previewed the footage of my XH2S, I was blown away by the colors. Red was red. Green was green. And black was black. It was just much “fuller” looking. And this is because of the 4:2:2 color of the XH2S. The XT4’s 4:2:0 wasn’t bad, but when you compare the two, the color quality is just different.
    IBIS. Again, XT4 doesn’t stand a chance with this. No more jittering! I know he said it still jitters. But in his example, he’s using a long telephoto with another arm on the focus ring because he was in MF. What do you expect, a buttery smooth pan?
    The IBIS is just much more improved. Have you seen how bad the 10-24 wobbles in the XT4? That is long gone in the XH2S. G-O-N-E. Finally! I’ve just shot an entire 35 minute video using the 10-24 at 10mm and not once I noticed the annoying wobble! It is actually USABLE now!
    Autofocus. In photo, the XT4 is actually pretty good. But in video, you just can’t compare it. It literally finds your eye when you least expect it to. Video tracking is better than photo tracking of the XT4.
    Custome Modes from 1 to 7! I thought I wouldn’t like this. But this is the best dial Fuji has made! You can literally save every single setting you can think of in the Custom Modes.
    C1 saves to CFExpress at 720mbps. Running out of space? Switch to C2 that records to the slower SD card at 360mbps. Need 30p only? Switch to C3. C4 is set to 24p with Eterna and with shutter priority. These are just some of my examples that the XT4 wouldn’t be able to do. All settings, whether small or big, will be stored in those 7 Custom Modes.
    Dynamic Range. The FLOG2’s DR is just mind blowing. I’ve never recovered highlights and shadows this good in all my past Fujis!
    Overheating. I use my cameras for longer periods of time. I always get overheat warnings on my XT4. Not even once on my XH2S.
    I haven’t really compared the 2 cameras side by side on the 240p yet. But I’ve used the XH2S in 240p with great results! Never really noticed any bad image quality.
    Noise is pretty much the same. But this was never an issue for me with the XT4 to begin with.
    The camera is not even 6 months old. We will get firmware updates to address all issues. Every firmware will make the camera better. Not the other way around.
    For those people saying that they’ll buy an XT4 after watching this video, ask yourself. Do you really shoot at HD 240p with super telephoto in manual mode, panning left and right while trying to focus all the time? Or if you really just don’t want the XH2S, then don’t waste money on the 3 year old XT4. I’d say wait for the XH2 or the XT5 that would be priced roughly the same.

      For the most part you are just trying to hype yourself up and justify your purchase. I also prefer the XH2s in a lot of areas. Better skin tones, better dynamic range, AF way better etc. But get real, most people can barely tell the difference between the image of the XH2s and XT4. You sound like an extreme colour grader, that's why you notice these subtle unimportant differences.
      The IBIS is not better, they fixed some wobbles because the IBIS barely moves now. It's much worse than the XT4 was. That's actually the main reason I'm looking to sell the XH2s. Anyone with the XT4 will barely notice the improvements except AF is mostly dependable now. To get 10 bit 422 in the XH2s, you need a really good computer to even edit those files, they are like the Canon R5 files.

      I like this guy, because is weirf af. But he also has to understand that many Filmmakers filming little birds in Canada’s remote countryside doesn’t give a fuck. Only when it comes to better skin tone, more dynamic range and better colors for the 422 seems like little to him. Fuck the vlog the h2s is a bomb. At the end of the day what you do the mental saws with sharpness is only him, the real difference is the things he mentioned and that despite everything does not seem to understand. He seems obsessed with fuji. He seems obsessed with fuji. Who knows how he gets bored in the village where he lives

      He is using both cameras with in camera codec. They "limit" camera codec just as they limit older camera codec. That doesn't make a difference. XH2S is supposed to be better than XT4 when both cameras record internally. If not then that's not good. If they offer worse codec than XT4, again, that's not good, and the solution is not to record externally but to offer better image quality for users who paid more for a camera. After all these cameras target the same audience.

    Hi @Casey, are you aware of this?
    “In order to make use of the new sensor and processor, there is a new flat picture profile called F-Log2, which extends the Dynamic Range up to 14 stops. We will make sure to verify this with our own lab test soon. The camera can process the data in 14bit and then records it to a 10bit codec onto the memory card. Because of the new components, noise and signal are processed in different ways. This results in a new base ISO for F-Log2 of 1250 ISO, compared to the base ISO for F-Log, which is 640 ISO.”
