Victoria! I stumbled upon this video because I’ve been going back and forth about what to upgrade to from my XT4. I loved all of the practical real world use scenarios you outlined, and though I’m no closer to deciding what I want, I appreciate your enthusiasm and love for what you do! From one UA-camr/Fuji user to another, you’re a breath of fresh air. Instant subscribe! 👏🏼👏🏼
This is so lovely to read and i’m glad it could help too. I really like to shoot real world examples and how equipment works practically, so thank you. This is very kind thank you ☺️
The X-H2s is considered the flagship model of the whole Fujifilm X series. It is a really great camera for those who shoot video, probably the best hybrid APS-C camera in the market.
I’ve preordered the X100VI but my excitement has kind of died since I haven’t received it yet lol I’ve been looking at the XT-5 and XH2S. This video has helped a lot! I’m leaning more towards the XH2S so thank you for helping me out!
Ahh I know, it is hard waiting for new gear to arrive! I hope it does arrive soon though. Well they are both fantastic cameras so what ever you decide you will love 🙂
I'm in love with my X-H2S. 😂 I do have an XT4 but I just never gelled with it. I love nature photography but also do quite a bit of people shoots in a documentary style so the speed of the X-H2S was key for me. Maybe I'll get the other one at some point. Great vid as always, and keep the adventures coming! 💚🧡
Hehe nothing wrong with that, it is a good love! I understand 😌 yeah that makes sense if you want something a bit faster paced, I agree with that! Bet you get some lovely documentary shots with it! Thank you very much and there is more on the way 🙃💙🌈
Your enthusiasm for Fujifilm made me like more and more that brand during those last 2 months. So i ordered one. I will start with a X-S20 (kind of mini XH2S), with a XC 35mm F2, and a Samyang 12mm F2, and a Laowa 65mm ultra macro. I can't wait! Well done with this video, and thank you! 😀👍
Aww thank you for this! I think I just really to believe in the company and their equipment. I purchase all the gear myself from my savings and I do genuinely love it. So it’s nice to share my enthusiasm. What makes it really worthwhile is reading comments like this, that sounds like a lovely set up you have got! I’n sure you will have so much fun with it! Let me know how it goes 🙃 Thank you again, it is really appreciated ☺️✌🏻
You pointed me at this review in an answer you gave to me on another post of you. So yeah - you are right, I kind of think the X-H2S is the answer for me! The video performance, as you said, looks as if it gives a bit more punch, while the photographs are still really good. So looks like the relatively expensive answer I was expecting hahaha! But good to know - I am going to hire one next weekend to confirm, but I suspect I know what the answer will be!! Thanks again for your - reviews, as I said before they are way more informative than the box standard camera reviews where you watch people doing their stupid eye tracking comparisons - you are reflecting reality! Please don't stop doing your reviews and posting your amazing footage :)
Hehe hello! I am glad you had a look and that it helped! - kind of, i’m sorry it is going to be an expensive answer. But from someone who got the XH2s, I just love it and i’m sure you’ll enjoy it lots too! That is a great idea to hire it out, you can from Fujifilm for free for 48 hours with a deposit and then after that you have to pay but it’s a good way to test what you like. I really appreciate that lovely feedback, I do my best to test the gear fairly and thoroughly as it’s what I like to know when buying equipment. so thank you and best of lucky with your camera selection ☺️☺️
Hi Victoria. Thanks a lot for the review. Till now i own just the X T4 and the 56 1.2 lens . But as i like to start in wildlife pfotopraphy i think to buy the X H2 addional to the X T4 . Plus the 150-600. Best wishes Andreas
Hello! I tell you since I discovered your videos I can't stop watching them, I love everything you do you are a genius I send you greetings from Perito Moreno Patagonia Argentina
Whaaat this is amazing! I think you are the first person to comment from Argentina! But can I just say, what a beautiful place to live, Perito Moreno Patagonia, wowza! I bet you get some stunning photos there! Thank you for your kind words and i’m so glad you enjoy watching 🙃🙃
@@wildandfreevictoria Sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't understand much English, that's why I used a translator to write to you. If you can answer me in Spanish, I would really appreciate it, kisses
I couldnt chose between This two beast caméra... So i have bought Both of them 😅 My xt5 IS fantastic for wedding portraits, but not as good as my xh2s for the fast action or low light situation. So Both are really complementary! Thanks for your joy of living and This cool vidéo 😊 Long live Fujifilm ❤
Hehe i like your style haha 😆🤘🏻 they make a great combo to be fair, i’m looking at a second camera body too as it is really handy to have! You are right about them being complementary and the points you made! Awww that is so sweet, thank you very much for watching and your kind words! And yes, long live Fujifilm ☺️💙🌈🤘🏻
@@JamesPaulGomez both of them are excellent to do wedding i Can swear it 👍😁❤️❤️ But xt5 IS much better for landscape and portrait with its high résolution. Xh2s Always uses for fast action and low light performance IS really good in low light, better than xt5 ! Less noise AT 3200 ISO. Kind Regards Nicolas
Aww you are always so kind! Thank you for your support and watching. I have had a great weekend thanks (although it rained a lot). I hope you have as well? 🙃🙃
Well stick with the XT series then, it is still fabulous! I also still have my original XT3 - I am the same, it is an old friend and I will not part from it 🙃
Thank you Victoria! I actually didn't even know about the X-T5 till I watched this. I am not a native Fuji person, but I have considered transitioning to them for awhile since Canon have become so anti-customer as of late.
Glad it was helpful! and yes I have heard this recently and a lot of folk swapping to Nikon which is interesting but I'll stick with Fuji as I love them! 🙂
I'm glad you're enjoying the sunny wild! Haven't seen sun here in weeks. 😅 This is a wonderful take on these 2 camera bodies. Fujifilm gives us almost too many choices when it comes to cameras. You really need to do your research to find out which camera is best for your use case, and these reviews are really valuable in that regard. So thank you for this. 😄👍 I feel that Fujifilm has made X-H2S primarily for the pro videographer and the X-H2 for the pro photographer. That being said, I do hope they make an X-H3 that does both photography and video at a pro level so people don't have stress over choosing which one is best for them. I think the X-T5 is more of a jack-of-all-trades with convenient dials. I think this series of cameras is brilliant and very accessible. Thank you Fujifilm! 😎 And thank you Victoria and Erik (the dog with a thousand nicknames 😁) for being such an awesome duo!
Hehe well it is now chooking it down 😆 i hope you get the sun soon! Thank you very much, yeah I just try to make it useful and talk about the things I noticed. There are soo many cameras on the market and so many options just in brand and then you have brand to brand, it is really confusing. So yeah I hope this can help and simplifies things a little bit 🙂 Yes I agree, I think that is the notion and set up but what I like about the XH2s is that you can do both. It’s funny a couple of people have mentioned that now, I think that would be great if Fujifilm could do that. They silo each camera by making it specific but why not have one that can do it all? - mind it would have a hefty price tag! The XT5 is a good option for a bit of all which is great! So yes well done Fujifilm! Haha you are most welcome and he deserves all the nicknames in the world 🙂
Finally someone does some outtakes I stayed for that Thank you it was wonderful I wish more people did that personally and thank you for your review it really help me make a choice for me XH2S Have you heard anything about an XH3S coming out soon I can't seem to find anything on it.😮
Nice video, so i like the fact that Fujifilm XT5 went back to the same screen as the XT3, the XT5 is billed as a potography first camera so if you use the camera with an L Bracket the screen will still function as designed, a flip out screen camera bodie doesn't open fully when you flip it out, also while the flip out screen is better for vlogging, people that use the camera for things like street photography can shoot with the screen and don't have exposed while doing so, it's centered with the camera making it easier to compose a shot, it's nice that Fujifilm has camera bodies with different screens not many camera makers offer that feature.
Thank you! Yup, it is good for that! To be honest, i always shoot photos through the view finder (unless low down shots). So the fully articulated for my vlogging was the most i’ve ever used it. Yes not many makers do make them like that, for photography the XT5 screen is really good 🙃
Victoria...please don't loose your organic and energetic way of presentation style. Your approach is natural, not contrived...kuddos!. I am a long-time Fuji enthusiast having owned most of of the XTs, XH-1 and X70. I'm deciding on the XH2 or the GFX 100s and your thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers! Lovely sample images and footage.
Hi, may I answer here. I‘m using the X-T5 the X-H2s and the GFX-100s. The usage of the X-H2S is completely different to the GFX. The X-H2S is the lightweight super fast hybrid camera for shooting sports and action, and doing a lot of filming. The GFX is the slow behemoth designed for max BQ in photographic work, with almost no filming. Consider also the overall weight and size between both systems. APSC is a lot lighter and smaller. With the GFX system on the „road“ I max out with 2 or 3 lenses. With APSC l don’t care about the count of lenses. Before you make an decision ask yourself if you need a super fast lightweight sports camera or max BQ at picture quality. Don’t get me wrong, you can take marvelous pictures with the X-H2s, but the GFX100s is on the next level regarding BQ.
It would be interessting, if you also compare the X-H2.. The Handling von der X-H2s and the superb Sensor of the X-T5. Best of both worlds! Great Video as always. Keep on going! All the best
Like others I struggled with deciding when upgrading from my xt-4. Ended up buying the xt-5 and xh-2 as I do not use video. Am delighted with both and have different uses (xh-2 is great for birds of prey due to the cf card, no buffering), love my Fuji’s.. love your videos too. Best wishes. Terry
You have a mighty combo of cameras there, enjoy using them! Sometimes I think it is good having the two camera bodies, gonna be getting another one myself soon. So glad you love Fuji, I do too! And really happy you enjoyed my video. Have a lovely evening 🙃✌🏻
I have an XT5 and I’m looking at getting a second body. I’m on the fence between the XH2 and XH2s. I’m starting to get into wildlife and I don’t do much filming but I’d be open to trying it more. My biggest concern is how I’m used to the 40mp from the XT5. Will the S be a step down?
Compared to my previous generation Fuji cameras the new 40mp sensors appear to be on another level. There really is a noticeable step up in definition. Got to admit though, the XT5 doesn’t feel quite as solid as the XT3….it’s just a bit plasticky in comparison.
They definitely have levelled up with the quality of sensor and images! Yeah, that is one thing I do agree with, not so much plasticky but I just noticed the silver coating would rub off easier than it did on my XT3 which is a shame. Still love my XH2s though 🙃
It looks like they are decreasing the quality of the camera body (probably some cost saving measure) year after year. The X-T4's body certainly feels better quality than the X-T5's. The X-H2 and the X-H2s feels the same quality as the X-T3 and the X-T4. The X-T2 and earlier models were manufactured in Japan and those feel even more solid. The X-T3 was the first model that was manufactured in China.
Hi Victoria! I am so glad I saw this video because you saved me from the wrong purchase! I have the XH2s but didn't want to bring it for my travel because I wanted just one camera for both street, wildlife and landscapes. The XH2s isn't the camera to do street photography with - you can, but it's not ideal. I'm already neck deep in with the Fuji system and have so many lenses, that going with the x-t5 makes way more sense than going with another brand. So I will buy the x-t5 as my sole body during travels. I'll bring the 27mm pancake for street and the 70-300mm for occasional wildlife. THANK YOU!!!
Hi. Actually, I ended up returning the X-T5. The firmware update created a black out issue. But I returned it also because the large files were not necessary for me and I started realizing I was already so used to the X-H2s that shooting these two bodies together was so different it was slowing me down. Then I weighed the two and found that the X-T5, which I purchased for lighter weight was now no longer what I needed. I’m considering the X-S20 as a baby X-H2s but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
You mentioned getting bitten by insects, the absolute best ever insect repellent is oil of citronella. It’s available in most chemists, dilute in water and apply. Will Fuji be sending you an X-S20 next? Comparing that with your X-H2S would be interesting.
Hehe thank you for this! Yeah the midges seem to be loving me lately! And the cleggs ☹️ that sounds like a great solution (excuse the pun!). I will get some asap, thank you 🙏🏻 They were going to send the XH2 but I can request the X-S20 and see what they say? 🙂
X-H2 or X-S20...🤔 Comparison of different sensor or comparison of overall camera body format? Me I would rather see a comparison of the X-S20 because it's closer to my budget. It's always nice to see the developments coming to the future used market. Might have a longer wait for the X-H2/2S than the X-S20 😁👍
Thank you very much! And the music is from Epidemic sound but I tend to blend music together so it is no particular song, I like to make it all unique so I use the stems and merge music 🙂
One thing I’m wondering about, between these two cameras do you experience a difference between the EVF of one and the other? I know that the specs of the EVF of the X-H2s and X-H2 are better than the EVF of the X-T5 but how much do you notice of that in practice?
I've owned & used fuji since the x-t2 was released: I have just the unholy trinity of lenses - 16-55; 50-140 & 100-400. My experience has been that each generation camera has worked better than the previous, but kept my x-t4 when I bought the x-t5 because I felt that something had to give when going from 26mpx to 40: I was wrong; in fact, the only time I've taken a single frame with the x-t4 was to have a 2nd body/lens to hand for a music festival shoot; and I had been perfectly happy with it, apart from that 'orrible flappy screen 🤫. My passion is for snapping surfing & coastal/estuary birds & find 15fps plenty fast enough without even trying the electronic shutter. (I'd be interested to know what SD cards you used in the x-t5 - Mine are Manfrotto {rebadged Delkin black, I believe} uhsii; 280fps).
Thanks for this video Victoria! I'm currently in your old situation: shooting an X-T3 with the 150-600mm lens. How would you say that the step up in autofocus for moving animals was going from X-T3 to X-T5?
Thank u V. Great video. Trying to decide between the xh2 and the Xt5. A comparison would help me a lot. The xh2s is a bit too much capability for my needs really. Im a amateur photographer using the xs10 but dont know if the 40 mp sensor is worth the jump
Thank you 😊 yeah it’s not an easy decision, there are so many cameras out the which doesn’t help either. I’ll see what I can do, if you are in the UK you can hire the camera bodies (and lenses if you need them) from Fujifilm for free for 48 hours - you have to pay a deposit. This is a great way to test it out and see how you feel as well 🙂
I was really looking forward to the new Fujifilm offerings. If the X-H2 and the X-T5 had been one and only camera, I would not have switched from the X-T4 to another brand. Oh well. Maybe next time?!?!
Hi Victoria, are your samples JPEG out of camera, or edited raw ? Also what do you think about the all new xs20, cause I hesitate between the xt5 and xs20 Thanks for your beautiful videos
I'm looking to upgrade from an XT3 myself! Torn between how much I would miss the dials. Is the size significantly different too? I love how sleek the XT3 is and I can take it anywhere where most people wouldn't take it too seriously if you point it at them. The decision is even tougher cause there is a used XH2S (SC 3000) for the same price of an XT5. Argh!
Ah it is a tricky decision, I had the XT3 and swapped it for the XH2S (although I still have my XT3). I did miss my dials to begin with but I did adjust ok in the end and now the XH2s works wonderfully for me and my style. But yes, the XT5 is super portable, I don't think the XH2s is too bulky compared, it depends what lens you have attached - I shoot mainly with the 23mm prime so it is a very light weight option. Do you think you will use the filming? and what I you wanting to do with your camera?
may i ask specifically around x-h2 vs x-h2s for video - is there a quality difference especially at 4k60? i have a camera i use for pictures so specifically interested in video only
Yes there is a big difference- i notice anyway. I love shooting in 4K in 120p (5x slower) on the XH2s, it has such a wonderful finish too it. The XH2 is still great but can shoot in FHD in 120p (5x slower). As I like to make cinematic videos I do notice the difference but the XH2 is still good quality 🙃
I'm coming to fuji family from canon ff (r5 and r) this week, waiting for my x-t30 ii to arrive at my door😁. One thing fuji does that I'm becoming really annoyed with canon is they offer both photocentric and hybrid models for us to choose from. Ergonomics and relyability are the most important aspects of a camera nowadays and canon is letting me down in both of them since they moved to mirrorless. There are times where I'll still want ff though, but I ceased my investment on the rf mount. I would like to do a trip like that some day 😁
@@phonkaholiccall the vlogging stuff (of me talking) was the XH2s and anything different will have a label in the bottom left hand corner explaining which camera I used e.g the XH2s or the XT5 🙃
hi! I need your help, I own a xh2s but I wanna change it for xt5 cuz I love the dials and also I want 40 mp, do you think Im gonna feel a big downgrade in video? like video straight out of camera
Hahhaha this is brilliant!! If I was president, the world would be fully rainbows, butterflies, trees, pretty flowers and smiles hehheeee thank you and hello Denmark (from rainy Scotland 🌧️🌈)
Merci pour ce comparatif,personnellement je suis plutot photo et un comparatif avec le XH2 40 mega pixels ??? . J'ai beaucoup de mal à remplacé mon XH1. Merci et bonne continuation.
Merci Beaucoup! I have just got hold of the XH2 and will do a comparison video soon! There will be lots of testing and I'll hopefully put something together soon 🙃
There is a noticeable difference in my opinion but both are still very good camera. I own the XH2s and the XH2, my XH2s is my main filming camera which it is fantastic for and I use it as well for photography. The XH2 is my main photography camera and it is brilliant - it has the same sensor as the X-T5. What is the main noticeable difference between the XT5 and XH2s is filming quality and the difference is the handling, settings, LCD screen (fully rotatable on the XH2s), more filming options, it is a faster paced camera and customisable buttons. I hope this helps 🙂
@@wildandfreevictoria yes 🙌 thank you. M gonna buy a camera this saturday. Couldnt decide between xh2 and xh2s. My primary goal is photography and i want to leverage video options too specially 4k 120 fps. M being greedy I know. I want to go for xh2s but a bit worries about image quality. I do portraits and e-commerce photography .
I've only ever used Panasonic for filming and I'm very impressed with the image quality of your Fiji. May I ask what bit rates and codecs your Fuji films with please? Maybe you should sack your editor if he loses your footage😂😂😂. Have you ever considered an external monitor for your camera? I got one a few years ago and it renewed my love for photography and videos.
Aw thank you! Yes I love filming on Fujifilm stuff, in particular with their lenses, they are magic! I shoot in 10 bit h.265, 4k @ 120p (5x slower at 24p) or just 24p. Haha yeah I think soo hehe 🤫 I have thought about one, it isn’t a bad idea. Maybe i’ll look into it 🙃
@@wildandfreevictoria For monitors you could go Freewell or an Atomos Ninja V. I have a Ninja V primarily because it records to an external SSD drive which are considerably cheaper than SD or CF Express cards. I also get to capture ProRes codecs which are easier on the computer for editing than the H265 or H264 codecs of hybrid cameras. Either way I love using a monitor. Lots of options.
@@wildandfreevictoria Forgot to mention that I enjoyed watching this episode while waiting outside my local hospital. Driving those big yellow taxi's isn't as exciting as the telly makes out.
It's really frustrating they made the X-T5 of cheaper quality than the X-T4 and X-H2/X-H2S. the price difference is not the decision factor between both.
The XH2 is also a photo camera with the exact same sensor as the XT5 … I use the XH2s for both photography and videography and it’s brilliant. So it is fair, it gives people an overall personality on all equipment fuji provide not just one
Well it all depends on the situation and the set up - are you hand held or using a tripod? Is your base aperture lower than f/2.8? Are you shooting moving or static subjects? I think it isn’t just about the camera but the whole set up :)
As I told you in my Instagram message, thank you for making this type of video, it allowed me to choose the XT-5 and I don't regret it!
Aw this is really lovely to read! So glad it helped you in your decision and that you are loving the X-T5, it is a beautiful camera! 🙃

So for low light performance u recommend xh2s?? I photoshoot in dark chappels and churches
@@JamesPaulGomez both of them are excellent to do wedding i Can swear it 👍😁❤️❤️
But xt5 IS much better for landscape and portrait with its high résolution. Xh2s Always uses for fast action and low light performance IS really good in low light, better than xt5 ! Less noise AT 3200 ISO.

Always a wonderful place to be, joining you on a Wild and Free Video. 😊📷😎👋
Aww thank you, this is very kind! And glad to have your continued support 🙂
Great video, great location. Not Fuji shooter but love to know about other options.
I appreciate you watching even not as a fujifilm shooter! Thank you ☺️
Just got my XT5 along with the new 8mm 3.5 lens, this camera will be out with me more than my X-Pro3. Love this little camera.
Glad you love it! it's a fantastic camera and I hope you enjoy it! 🙃
That’s so cute that you got a editor to help you! ❤❤❤
Hehe thank you.. he isn’t the best editor bless 🐶🙃🤍
Brillant video Victoria 👍you're an amazing photographer and presenter. Hope you had a great weekend!
Aww you are always so kind! Thank you for your support and watching. I have had a great weekend thanks (although it rained a lot). I hope you have as well? 🙃🙃
I don’t do video so love the screen on Xt5. It’s a great camera though my older XT2 is still like an old friend.
Well stick with the XT series then, it is still fabulous! I also still have my original XT3 - I am the same, it is an old friend and I will not part from it 🙃
Thank you Victoria! I actually didn't even know about the X-T5 till I watched this. I am not a native Fuji person, but I have considered transitioning to them for awhile since Canon have become so anti-customer as of late.
Glad it was helpful! and yes I have heard this recently and a lot of folk swapping to Nikon which is interesting but I'll stick with Fuji as I love them! 🙂

I think the X-T5 is more of a jack-of-all-trades with convenient dials. I think this series of cameras is brilliant and very accessible. Thank you Fujifilm! 😎
And thank you Victoria and Erik (the dog with a thousand nicknames 😁) for being such an awesome duo!
Hehe well it is now chooking it down 😆 i hope you get the sun soon!
Thank you very much, yeah I just try to make it useful and talk about the things I noticed. There are soo many cameras on the market and so many options just in brand and then you have brand to brand, it is really confusing. So yeah I hope this can help and simplifies things a little bit 🙂
Yes I agree, I think that is the notion and set up but what I like about the XH2s is that you can do both. It’s funny a couple of people have mentioned that now, I think that would be great if Fujifilm could do that. They silo each camera by making it specific but why not have one that can do it all? - mind it would have a hefty price tag!
The XT5 is a good option for a bit of all which is great! So yes well done Fujifilm!
Haha you are most welcome and he deserves all the nicknames in the world 🙂
thanks for the very interesting, funny and helping video. Great how you are doing it!
You are most welcome, i’m glad you enjoyed it and found it useful ☺️
This is a nice comparison between the two. I don’t think either would be a bad choice! 🤙🏼
Thank you, and I agree, they are both fantastic! 🙃
Finally someone does some outtakes I stayed for that Thank you it was wonderful I wish more people did that personally and thank you for your review it really help me make a choice for me XH2S Have you heard anything about an XH3S coming out soon I can't seem to find anything on it.😮
youve made mfall in love with the x-h2s
It’s not a bad love, I absolutely love mine 🙃🙃
Nice video, so i like the fact that Fujifilm XT5 went back to the same screen as the XT3, the XT5 is billed as a potography first camera so if you use the camera with an L Bracket the screen will still function as designed, a flip out screen camera bodie doesn't open fully when you flip it out, also while the flip out screen is better for vlogging, people that use the camera for things like street photography can shoot with the screen and don't have exposed while doing so, it's centered with the camera making it easier to compose a shot, it's nice that Fujifilm has camera bodies with different screens not many camera makers offer that feature.
Thank you! Yup, it is good for that! To be honest, i always shoot photos through the view finder (unless low down shots). So the fully articulated for my vlogging was the most i’ve ever used it. Yes not many makers do make them like that, for photography the XT5 screen is really good 🙃
Victoria...please don't loose your organic and energetic way of presentation style. Your approach is natural, not contrived...kuddos!. I am a long-time Fuji enthusiast having owned most of of the XTs, XH-1 and X70. I'm deciding on the XH2 or the GFX 100s and your thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers! Lovely sample images and footage.
Hi, may I answer here. I‘m using the X-T5 the X-H2s and the GFX-100s. The usage of the X-H2S is completely different to the GFX. The X-H2S is the lightweight super fast hybrid camera for shooting sports and action, and doing a lot of filming. The GFX is the slow behemoth designed for max BQ in photographic work, with almost no filming. Consider also the overall weight and size between both systems. APSC is a lot lighter and smaller. With the GFX system on the „road“ I max out with 2 or 3 lenses. With APSC l don’t care about the count of lenses. Before you make an decision ask yourself if you need a super fast lightweight sports camera or max BQ at picture quality. Don’t get me wrong, you can take marvelous pictures with the X-H2s, but the GFX100s is on the next level regarding BQ.
It would be interessting, if you also compare the X-H2.. The Handling von der X-H2s and the superb Sensor of the X-T5. Best of both worlds!
Great Video as always. Keep on going! All the best
Like others I struggled with deciding when upgrading from my xt-4. Ended up buying the xt-5 and xh-2 as I do not use video. Am delighted with both and have different uses (xh-2 is great for birds of prey due to the cf card, no buffering), love my Fuji’s.. love your videos too. Best wishes. Terry
You have a mighty combo of cameras there, enjoy using them! Sometimes I think it is good having the two camera bodies, gonna be getting another one myself soon. So glad you love Fuji, I do too! And really happy you enjoyed my video. Have a lovely evening 🙃✌🏻
Great review on both bodies , love photos 👍
Thank you for watching and your lovely words ☺️☺️🌈
I have an XT5 and I’m looking at getting a second body. I’m on the fence between the XH2 and XH2s. I’m starting to get into wildlife and I don’t do much filming but I’d be open to trying it more. My biggest concern is how I’m used to the 40mp from the XT5. Will the S be a step down?
I prefer the X-T5 because of the design, the handling and the 40 mp sensor. But the XH2S is a great camera too of course.
It is a fantastic camera so I can see why, keep enjoying it 🙃✌🏻
Great video as usual and hello from Utah!
Aw thank you and hello Utah from Scotland 🙂
Compared to my previous generation Fuji cameras the new 40mp sensors appear to be on another level. There really is a noticeable step up in definition. Got to admit though, the XT5 doesn’t feel quite as solid as the XT3….it’s just a bit plasticky in comparison.
They definitely have levelled up with the quality of sensor and images! Yeah, that is one thing I do agree with, not so much plasticky but I just noticed the silver coating would rub off easier than it did on my XT3 which is a shame. Still love my XH2s though 🙃
It looks like they are decreasing the quality of the camera body (probably some cost saving measure) year after year. The X-T4's body certainly feels better quality than the X-T5's. The X-H2 and the X-H2s feels the same quality as the X-T3 and the X-T4. The X-T2 and earlier models were manufactured in Japan and those feel even more solid. The X-T3 was the first model that was manufactured in China.
Hi Victoria! I am so glad I saw this video because you saved me from the wrong purchase! I have the XH2s but didn't want to bring it for my travel because I wanted just one camera for both street, wildlife and landscapes. The XH2s isn't the camera to do street photography with - you can, but it's not ideal. I'm already neck deep in with the Fuji system and have so many lenses, that going with the x-t5 makes way more sense than going with another brand. So I will buy the x-t5 as my sole body during travels. I'll bring the 27mm pancake for street and the 70-300mm for occasional wildlife. THANK YOU!!!
Are you returning the Xh2s?
Hi. Actually, I ended up returning the X-T5. The firmware update created a black out issue. But I returned it also because the large files were not necessary for me and I started realizing I was already so used to the X-H2s that shooting these two bodies together was so different it was slowing me down. Then I weighed the two and found that the X-T5, which I purchased for lighter weight was now no longer what I needed. I’m considering the X-S20 as a baby X-H2s but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Another banger. Lovely images.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it! 🙃
You mentioned getting bitten by insects, the absolute best ever insect repellent is oil of citronella.
It’s available in most chemists, dilute in water and apply.
Will Fuji be sending you an X-S20 next?
Comparing that with your X-H2S would be interesting.
Hehe thank you for this! Yeah the midges seem to be loving me lately! And the cleggs ☹️ that sounds like a great solution (excuse the pun!). I will get some asap, thank you 🙏🏻
They were going to send the XH2 but I can request the X-S20 and see what they say? 🙂
X-H2 or X-S20...🤔
Comparison of different sensor or comparison of overall camera body format?
Me I would rather see a comparison of the X-S20 because it's closer to my budget.
It's always nice to see the developments coming to the future used market.
Might have a longer wait for the X-H2/2S than the X-S20
😁👍
Great videos, (subscribed) have you tried the new viltrox pro lenses?
Hello and thank you! I haven’t tried any of the viltrox lenses and would love to! Maybe in the future I will do 🙂
Loved the review ❤
Thank you
This was a great video overall! BTW, what is the background music you used at 11:15 ?
Thank you very much! And the music is from Epidemic sound but I tend to blend music together so it is no particular song, I like to make it all unique so I use the stems and merge music 🙂
One thing I’m wondering about, between these two cameras do you experience a difference between the EVF of one and the other?
I know that the specs of the EVF of the X-H2s and X-H2 are better than the EVF of the X-T5 but how much do you notice of that in practice?
I've owned & used fuji since the x-t2 was released:
I have just the unholy trinity of lenses - 16-55; 50-140 & 100-400.
My experience has been that each generation camera has worked better than the previous, but kept my x-t4 when I bought the x-t5 because I felt that something had to give when going from 26mpx to 40:
I was wrong; in fact, the only time I've taken a single frame with the x-t4 was to have a 2nd body/lens to hand for a music festival shoot; and I had been perfectly happy with it, apart from that 'orrible flappy screen 🤫.
My passion is for snapping surfing & coastal/estuary birds & find 15fps plenty fast enough without even trying the electronic shutter.
(I'd be interested to know what SD cards you used in the x-t5 - Mine are Manfrotto {rebadged Delkin black, I believe} uhsii; 280fps).
Thanks for this video Victoria! I'm currently in your old situation: shooting an X-T3 with the 150-600mm lens. How would you say that the step up in autofocus for moving animals was going from X-T3 to X-T5?
The AF was hugely different! The XT5 is a massive step up not just AF wise but for the buttons and ergonomics. It is great 🙂
@@wildandfreevictoria And now the X-H2s vs X-T5 is also probably another large step up 👍
Merci beaucoup,je suis impatient..
Merci ☺️
Do you also have a video comparing the xt5 and the xh2? Which would you prefer between these two?
No I don’t, i just have a separate video for each (the XH2 went live yesterday) for me I prefer the XH2 and I talk about why in the video 🙃
Very Detailed video ❤
Thank you ☺️
Wondering if the new 40mp sensors will work well with the older lens like 35.4 or 16.4?
When i get a chance i’ll test it out on my old 35mm and see :)
12:11 i love this clip❤
Aw thank you ☺️
Thank u V. Great video. Trying to decide between the xh2 and the Xt5. A comparison would help me a lot. The xh2s is a bit too much capability for my needs really. Im a amateur photographer using the xs10 but dont know if the 40 mp sensor is worth the jump
Thank you 😊 yeah it’s not an easy decision, there are so many cameras out the which doesn’t help either. I’ll see what I can do, if you are in the UK you can hire the camera bodies (and lenses if you need them) from Fujifilm for free for 48 hours - you have to pay a deposit. This is a great way to test it out and see how you feel as well 🙂
@@wildandfreevictoria i see - im all the way in South Africa. Good idea. Ill try hiring it out and see which one can be a better friend😊. Thank you!
I was really looking forward to the new Fujifilm offerings. If the X-H2 and the X-T5 had been one and only camera, I would not have switched from the X-T4 to another brand. Oh well. Maybe next time?!?!
Well they are both fanatic cameras and I love my XH2s, enjoy your camera and keep shooting 🙃✌🏻
❤ Hermosas fotos, hermosos colores. Eres poesía pura.
Aw thank you so much, this is very kind and lovely ☺️
I love your personality and your bubby nature😅all the way from South Africa
Thank you! And you are very far away! That is so great to read! 🙃
Hi Victoria, are your samples JPEG out of camera, or edited raw ? Also what do you think about the all new xs20, cause I hesitate between the xt5 and xs20
Thanks for your beautiful videos
Hello, I always shoot in RAW :) I am not too sure yet as I haven't used it but it does look like an interesting camera! Thank you 😊
I'm looking to upgrade from an XT3 myself! Torn between how much I would miss the dials.
Is the size significantly different too? I love how sleek the XT3 is and I can take it anywhere where most people wouldn't take it too seriously if you point it at them.
The decision is even tougher cause there is a used XH2S (SC 3000) for the same price of an XT5. Argh!
Ah it is a tricky decision, I had the XT3 and swapped it for the XH2S (although I still have my XT3). I did miss my dials to begin with but I did adjust ok in the end and now the XH2s works wonderfully for me and my style. But yes, the XT5 is super portable, I don't think the XH2s is too bulky compared, it depends what lens you have attached - I shoot mainly with the 23mm prime so it is a very light weight option. Do you think you will use the filming? and what I you wanting to do with your camera?
@@wildandfreevictoria
may i ask specifically around x-h2 vs x-h2s for video - is there a quality difference especially at 4k60? i have a camera i use for pictures so specifically interested in video only
Yes there is a big difference- i notice anyway. I love shooting in 4K in 120p (5x slower) on the XH2s, it has such a wonderful finish too it. The XH2 is still great but can shoot in FHD in 120p (5x slower). As I like to make cinematic videos I do notice the difference but the XH2 is still good quality 🙃
I'm coming to fuji family from canon ff (r5 and r) this week, waiting for my x-t30 ii to arrive at my door😁. One thing fuji does that I'm becoming really annoyed with canon is they offer both photocentric and hybrid models for us to choose from. Ergonomics and relyability are the most important aspects of a camera nowadays and canon is letting me down in both of them since they moved to mirrorless. There are times where I'll still want ff though, but I ceased my investment on the rf mount. I would like to do a trip like that some day 😁
What did u do to achieve this dreamy look with incredible bokeh in your video, especially the parts at 10:53 ?
Aw thank you! I normally just shoot with a wide aperture on my 23mm and sometimes use the Urth Ethereal filter (the 1/4 version) 🙃
@@wildandfreevictoria Thank you! The video was shot on the X-H2S ?
@@phonkaholiccall the vlogging stuff (of me talking) was the XH2s and anything different will have a label in the bottom left hand corner explaining which camera I used e.g the XH2s or the XT5 🙃
hi! I need your help, I own a xh2s but I wanna change it for xt5 cuz I love the dials and also I want 40 mp, do you think Im gonna feel a big downgrade in video? like video straight out of camera
Victoria For President 🍭🍼🍭🍼😁 Hi From Denmark !
Hahhaha this is brilliant!! If I was president, the world would be fully rainbows, butterflies, trees, pretty flowers and smiles hehheeee thank you and hello Denmark (from rainy Scotland 🌧️🌈)
Very Good 🎉
Thank you 😊
Merci pour ce comparatif,personnellement je suis plutot photo et un comparatif avec le XH2 40 mega pixels ??? . J'ai beaucoup de mal à remplacé mon XH1. Merci et bonne continuation.
Merci Beaucoup! I have just got hold of the XH2 and will do a comparison video soon! There will be lots of testing and I'll hopefully put something together soon 🙃
How can i get your print about birds,...?
Sorry if my english is not good
I am sorry I do sell prints 🙂
How much of a difference is there in image quality between xt-5 and xh2s?
There is a noticeable difference in my opinion but both are still very good camera. I own the XH2s and the XH2, my XH2s is my main filming camera which it is fantastic for and I use it as well for photography. The XH2 is my main photography camera and it is brilliant - it has the same sensor as the X-T5. What is the main noticeable difference between the XT5 and XH2s is filming quality and the difference is the handling, settings, LCD screen (fully rotatable on the XH2s), more filming options, it is a faster paced camera and customisable buttons. I hope this helps 🙂
@@wildandfreevictoria yes 🙌 thank you. M gonna buy a camera this saturday. Couldnt decide between xh2 and xh2s. My primary goal is photography and i want to leverage video options too specially 4k 120 fps. M being greedy I know. I want to go for xh2s but a bit worries about image quality. I do portraits and e-commerce photography .
@@wildandfreevictoria Finally bought xh2s . Thanks for the replies n vids. 🙏Helped me to make a decision. Love from India ❤️
The XH2S has a better EVF, 5.78 MP compared to the 3.68 MP EVF on the XT5.
Yes it does but I have found they both work great :)
Je vous adore!
Haha thank you 😊
❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️
I've only ever used Panasonic for filming and I'm very impressed with the image quality of your Fiji. May I ask what bit rates and codecs your Fuji films with please?
Maybe you should sack your editor if he loses your footage😂😂😂.
Have you ever considered an external monitor for your camera?
I got one a few years ago and it renewed my love for photography and videos.
Aw thank you! Yes I love filming on Fujifilm stuff, in particular with their lenses, they are magic! I shoot in 10 bit h.265, 4k @ 120p (5x slower at 24p) or just 24p.
Haha yeah I think soo hehe 🤫
I have thought about one, it isn’t a bad idea. Maybe i’ll look into it 🙃
@@wildandfreevictoria For monitors you could go Freewell or an Atomos Ninja V.
I have a Ninja V primarily because it records to an external SSD drive which are considerably cheaper than SD or CF Express cards. I also get to capture ProRes codecs which are easier on the computer for editing than the H265 or H264 codecs of hybrid cameras.
Either way I love using a monitor. Lots of options.
@@wildandfreevictoria Forgot to mention that I enjoyed watching this episode while waiting outside my local hospital.
Driving those big yellow taxi's isn't as exciting as the telly makes out.
Xt5 also a lot cheaper right now got the kit lens for the price of body only price of xh2S
It's really frustrating they made the X-T5 of cheaper quality than the X-T4 and X-H2/X-H2S. the price difference is not the decision factor between both.
Yes I noticed a difference in the paint work from my XT3 compared to the XT5 or the XH2s, but they do still work well
❤
🙃🙃
It should be H2 vs. H2s. Comparing photos on a Video focused camera isn't fair.
The XH2 is also a photo camera with the exact same sensor as the XT5 …
I use the XH2s for both photography and videography and it’s brilliant. So it is fair, it gives people an overall personality on all equipment fuji provide not just one
I would like to see how they perform in dark chapel.. church..
Well it all depends on the situation and the set up - are you hand held or using a tripod? Is your base aperture lower than f/2.8? Are you shooting moving or static subjects? I think it isn’t just about the camera but the whole set up :)
