The intro looks and sounds exactly like one of those Discovery/History Chanel 'Tough guys behind schedule and yelling' shows. But this time it's about photographers.
Lol
I got X-H2s and i have to say its a XT-4 on steroids, well done Fuji!
Agree with all comments - by far the best and most practical review from this camera on YT so far! Especially from someone who used both Fuji and Sony and has his focus on video ☺️
Not that I can afford or need the XH2S 😅 happy with my X-S10!
But nice to have a good filmmaking UA-camr back to Fuji. Excited about your review for the Viltrox 13mm.
Aaaand please Tamron give us the 11-20 F2.8 asap. This lens is so much needed! 😅
Thanks a lot. X-S10 with the new af system would be awesome. Such a light body.
i love the effort and details you put in your reviews. can’t wait to see more footage from this camera
More to come!
Awesome video. Been watching your video's for a while now and they are very helpful. Especially the episode on creating B-Roll and this XH2S review. Must be a lot of work so thank you for this.
Love your review, all honest content and no outrageous behavior for clicks. I trust your reviews because your I used your earlier videos on beginner settings for XT4 videos!
Informative & comprehensive breakdown - thanks!
Thank you for another well made and informative video. I love Fuji color. Can't wait to test the X-H2S in the States.
Stoked that you're on Fuji again! I'd say this was the most useful XH2s review I saw so far. It REALLY makes me want to get the XH2s now but I just can't justify the cost at the moment. Maybe early next year and then selling my beloved XT4 :D
Thank you. Maybe just wait for the X-T5 then. If they bring the af and ibis improvements to the T line below 2000$, that’s the best value camera one will be aböe to get.
This Xh2s looks great but I'm going to keep my Sony a7 IV, for one important thing for me, with the a7 IV, I can be in full frame and switch to Aps-c, in one click!, and do a big saving on my lenses, with my Sony 24mm 1.4 GM in Full Frame, I'm in 35mm in F2 in Aps-C mode, with the same Lens :) and much less rolling shutter. It depends on each person's needs, of course! :)
great review man, all the info i was chasing and more
The perfect video for me right now. Nice to hear from someone that doesn’t just say, “only the full frame look is valid”.
Thank you for your efforts! .. I learned so much from this review.
Great review and comparison of both camera's. Thanks.
Thank you for that 120 fix. Always enjoy watching your videos
I'd looove to be able to use the AF On while recording in order to refocus while using manual focus. I always feel the need to do that while filming with my X-T4.
Wow. Great review not your typical talk about the specifications but how do use the camera and get great pictures. And have fun!
A really useful comparison given that the Sony's are probably the benchmark for hybrid shooters. You mention lens options which some fail to include. We'll done and thank you. P.S. that shot with the motorbike in front of the sun in the sky (XT4) was stunning.
Really enjoyed your review. Thank you.
I tested mine for a few days, and Fujifilm did all I wanted. It's like a Black Magic Pocket just with Autofocus and Ibis and they both work really good.
-The IBIS is much better than on the XT4. No wobble even with a 12mm wide lens. I got the best results with the Ibis by slowing down the footage and then put a warp stabilizer in post.
-The Image Quality got even better.
-No crop in 4K60, with the Xt4 it had a 1,3 crop. I mainly Record in 4K60 and slow the footage down!
High end quality in a portable system. I also tested the A7Siii in comparison because I was not sure which camera to buy. The Autofocus is about the same on both cameras. Ibis as well but the colours from Sony are ugly and the 4k does not look as sharp as the one of the XH2s. Filming with Astia with the Xh2s in Prores looks like a high end production.
*what is better on the XH2S indeed is the low light performance and the full frame look... But the XH2S with the sigma 18-35 1.8 is unbeatable
XH2s video looks far from Blackmagic pocket. Its way too sharp and digital looking SOOC. Yes the XH2s has good specs but the look of the video is not filmic but rather videoish.
@@gaarax0x ua-cam.com/video/8AM8afRnHGU/v-deo.html
Its all about how the footage is graded.. with the Prores Codec and Flog2 it comes very close. The Xt4 was already very good check out the link
Or that one: ua-cam.com/video/UokpeVb2u2g/v-deo.html
@@Davvvici Have you tested the xs2h with the sigma 18-35 f1.8? Would like to know how it fares in terms of autofocus
Damn cool intro. Thanks for the thorough testing and comparisons. I agree, Fuji has come a long way and it's the best deal right now for a stacked video/photo camera. Subscribed ✔
Thanks for such a detailed and honest review, I’m assuming the low light performance would be similar for stills? Which is quite impressive. My pro work is mainly Photgraphy, the XT4 is ok but yeah the AF could be better and is why I’m really interested in the XH2s
I didn’t test low light for photos. But the X-T4 performs already quite good. So I‘d wonder if the X-H2S doesn’t.
Great review! Thank you.
'Fujifilm is more fun to shoot' Agreed! Please note that i am amateur, but i find the 'enjoyment factor' quite important. I think fuji does this realy well! I have the x100 (original) which i realy like shooting even if its considering slow. i have the x-t3 for video. i shoot 1080p 30p long GOP, 50mbits. It should be quite low quality but frankly i find it perfectly usable (perhaps not for professional videomakers?)
A video-centric X100V would be amazing for the fun factor haha. Basically, ibis and better codecs missing^^
Not all reviews carry the same weight. This is the best review by far. Very helpful and practical real world use of this camera. I appreciate all of your recommended settings. I get my X-H2s delivered tomorrow and I know I will be watching this video over and over again as I dial in my settings to optimize what this cameras performance. I totally agree that Sony is no fun to shoot. I have been shooting Fuji since 2013. I had a Sony, but it sat on my shelf for a year since I kept reaching for my Fuji cameras and I ended up selling the Sony basically brand new.
Thank you 👍🏻
I will also do a settings video soon. Just want to play a bit around more to come up with good stuff.
@@pascalbasel Amazing! Looking forward to that video.
Your review is the one I was waiting for 👌. Would love to see some tutorials on how you grade the different film simulations in davinci resolve. I have the Fuji xh2s but I’m very new to colour grading. I find that your Fuji footage always pops. Please do share how you achieve it.
Thanks, will do some tutorials. But the pop has more to do with lighting and using colors that separate from the background. Best to watch some tutorials on lighting techniques (especially backlighting).
@@pascalbasel 🙏🏽
Just wanted to say this is the best xh2s video I have found
Really interested in a comparison footage in LOG a7iv vs xh2s 😇
It’s in the video
Beating Gerald for useful balanced info! Course his wasn't production, but still, best X-H2S video so far by large margin. You covered the big AF question first - great to see Fuji mostly there now and your call-out on missing arbitrary object tracking using touch screen seems like the most important difference. Loved the dynamic range comparison shots. Loved your call out on the custom mode dial functionality - I really hope Fuji watches this video! subscribed.
Thanks a lot. I think Gerald did the best he could with the pre-production model. Without his videos, I would have a lot less technical knowledge actually. This guy is not from this world haha 😉
You’re right. There are some things that Fuji can fix via firmware and I hope they do.
Thanks a lot Pascal, as always, top quality video, very well done and very informative.
For me this camera is my savior. I’m in the Fuji system since the X=E1 and as I switched from photography to videography, I was starting to be desperate and I was more and more looking to change my whole system to Sony. At least this new camera is exactly what I dreamed off, a mini A7SIII allowing me to capitalize on all my lenses.
Will it be possible to share your recommended settings (codecs and bitrate) regarding each movie mode you use (24p, 60p, 120p, 240p) in order to have the best compromise between quality and file size ?
I personally don’t really see the advantage of not using H265 if you have a good computer for editing like a last generation MacBook.
Big thumb up for all your videos
Thanks you. Yes, I will do a settings video soon. It's good that you mention the codecs. I will do some test to figure that out for the video.
Great Video! What is your main camera for UA-cam footage now? I saw Sony on your camera gear website, but I was wondering if that needed to be updated. Are you using Sony A7s3 or the Fuji H2s? Thanks again for the video.
Thanks, I switched fully to Fujifilm.
Great intro, overall great shots! Fuji is not my cup of tea but I can see why it is worth buying if someone is not attached to a different ecosystem. Great review 👍🏻
Thanks Phil 👍🏻
Great review! Hopefully you can do an update when you get your CFexpress card? ProRes & 6K Open Gate mode is what I want to see for absolute maximum image quality. Its those two things that set it apart from Canon/Sony and also make me want to switch back to Fuji after many years on full frame..
I will do a video about that soon. I got the Pergear 1TB CFexpress card, which is quite affordable, and I‘m impressed so far. Need a bit more testing but now issues until now.
My only drawback to upgrade to H2S (from XH1 :D) are the ergonomics. I hope the non S version will have the XH1 layout which is superior. Why they left out the ISO and shutter speed dial is beyond me. To which Canons did you compare this? I've seen videos where the Fuji trashed Canon R6 in AF. It even tracks a person or an animal from 50+ meter distance. Great Review!
Yeah, the deals could be smarter. Fuji can do better in that regards. I don't have a Canon camera to compare it to. With all the overheating issues, I'm not interested in Canon at the moment. (Unfortunately as I really like RF glass)
Still having doubts of swapping from my A7IV kit to an XH2/XH2s kit, I do use 4k60 often for work (social media videos for clients) but the 1.5 crop is bonkers occasionally and as for Fuji, I love the Film simulations for jpegs point and shoot and I love going out without needing to editing my photos later and know that I can just import them onto my phone and upload instantly to social media.
I might do it soon, its just the push that I need to do it, it has been on my mind for at least 2 weeks now. Could I get some insight on the things you miss from the A7IV/Sony system that you don't have and you'd like to have besides stellar autofocus?
Best to try it in a shop or rent it before. The X-H2S is great but Sony has the workflow advantage with better af and lenses... Long-term review coming very soon.
Great video sir!
Stacked sensor is also in A9 or OM-1 (and Z9, R3)
Cool, my one comes monday. Maybe you like to make a video how your settings are?
Nice Claus, of course will do one 👍🏻
@@pascalbasel Strong intro
Could you test the panning in video mode and report if there still are those micro moves like when the IBIS is fighting the camera move?
The IBIS section was oddly brief. A quick walking and panning breakdown would’ve helped support the idea that it’s “perfect”.
On wider lenses (below 55mm), the ibis looks around as good as Sony. I had a few of those micro moves when I filmed with the 55-200 at 200mm tough. However, it was easy to fix in post by adding stabilization. Didn’t even crop much.
@@pascalbasel Sony’s IBIS is not rated well by reviewers. Never experienced it myself. Thanks for reporting.
oh oh what a entry 😍😍
great video btw. All these are helping me decide if i should get the fuji h2s or the sony a7 iv :)
I've watched a few QA vids on youtube on why they switched to Fuji from either Canon or Sony, and the one answer that I found is the same is "it's more fun". I agree, Fuji has that fun feel.
I have a question about the A7IV. Recently got it, but noticed tons of tiny white dots (zoomed in 200-300 %) for example when shooting with the lens cap on and iso over 6400. It gets more apparent at 12800 ISO. I notice these white dots on my shadows sometimes as well. Is this normal or do I have a faulty sensor? Please help!
Keep the iso lower then, it’s normal in that iso range on every camera.
Hey sorry if this has been asked but how are you dealing with the wobble on the sides when shooting static shots? For some reason I can’t get mine to stop wobbling. Using the 18 1.4 and it’s driving me nuts. I’m used to the a74 and fx3. Really want to use this as my daily shooter but I can’t stand that wobble! Thanks 🙏🏻
I have calm hands haha but if I get some wobble, the stabilization in resolve oftentimes fixes it. But I found it not too bad on the h2s.
@@pascalbasel Hey sorry, I've asked a couple people and maybe I'm explaining it wrong, haha. On the sides of the footage it looks kind of like jello? Like it warps around. Not sure if it's "fixable"? Maybe I should learn DaVinci finally if there is a fix! I shot just a static shot of a garden and I tried to keep stable and I just see warping around the sides of the frame and it's driving me nuts! Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks!!
I remember the day I found out that the focus tracking box that is so great in photo mode.. just doesn't exist in video mode on Fuji - that was the X-T3. It's disappointing to see there's still no tracking in video on a £2.5k Fuji camera in 2022. Amazing review though, thank you!
Pascal, have you tried the sigma 18-35 lens on this body? Would love to get your thoughts on this. ^^
No, I don’t have this lens anymore. But it already performed well on the X-T4 with Fringer adapter. So I guess it will be good on the X-H2S.
Best review so far, not only packed with a ton of good info but also knowledge from messing around with cameras from both brands.
Sony has a slightly better AF performance but Fuji is the one with a new processor and room for improvement.
About the shot at 6.2K, was that recorded using H265 and 10bit 422 into a Standard UHS II SD Card? Thought it could only be recorded at ProRes.
Sick intro btw, that bleach bypass intro reminded me of some shots from 11.22.63, great TV show.
Thanks a lot. I‘ve recorded the 6.2K in HEVC 720mbps on a Sony Tough G V90 card. So yes, you don’t need ProRes for that.
what do you thing ybout shooting nost footage with the xf 18 mm 1.4 (or signa 16mm 1.4) in 6.2k and zooming in post when needed ?
I never used these lenses but doing the same now with the Viltrox 13mm F1.4. Cropping is totally fine.
how's the IBIS, does it still have the jerky or sometimes wobby problem like the XT4?
Only at very long focal lengths from my experience. On my 16-55 and lower it looks all fine.
so with f log, in the end, we get better results than with f log 2 , Dr excepted ?
Only in 120P or if rolling shutter is important for 24,25 or 30P.
will there be a real cinema camera from fuji - with dual gain sensor and internal BRAW recording?
I don’t know
This 14+ stops of dynamic range is very interesting. I wonder what will it do with the details on normal lighting or human subjects. Can you make a comparison using a human subject or on a birghter light environment? It would be very impressive for fuji if those scenarios still produce a good dynamic range with still good details. I just hope this camera is not doing extreme under the hood noise reduction even when the in body noise reduction is turned off at the cost of details.
The loss in detail on my curtain could actually be noise reduction. In my recent videos you see lots of outside shots from the X-H2S. I never had dynamic range related issues with it, even on people.
Hallo Pascal. Tolles Video. Du sagst im Video dass Objektive mit F4 nichts für dich sind. Was ist da genau dein Grund? Grüsse aus der Schweiz.
Danke. Hintergrundundschärfe, Low Light…
i am hoping for that too, x-h2s in x-t4 skin 👍 or an x-t4 with a sony or canon video autofocus...
personal biggest worry is the AF that people like to criticize the most but it seems fine
biggest issue that came in my work is to shoot unlimited video instead of the 30min limit in most fuji cameras until the XH2S.
thus personally desire a Ninja V to use with my current fuji cameras instead of getting a whole new camera.
the 6k is too much for me, so maybee hopefully all fuji cameras have unlimited record time and a xt5 might be better for me assuming its normal upgrades , 4k and no need more, and the unlimited recording and cheaper than 2,500$
any advice/feed back is welcome
THanks for this review, one thing I like about your video is that you dont have a big microphone in front of your face which is really a big trend (that I hate), I assume you use a shortgun mic. I like it this way coz people can see your face and not being distracted by the microphone.
Thanks. I use the Rode Videomic NTG. I also don’t like the mic in front of the face. But I understand it as many rooms are very hard to sound-proof. So people have to have their mics close to the mouth and use dynamic mics.
You mentioned the samyang 12mm. Is it good enough for real estate work on the fuji? I currently shoot with the samyang 12mm on the a6500, but didn't know if there would be much difference.
I‘d say yes. The af seems to be a bit weaker on this lens (only my first impression. Didn’t actually test/compare it). But I think in real estate you shoot more manual.
However, this work is paid well I guess. So I‘d go for the 8-16mm for that 😉
@@pascalbasel doesn't pay well, where I'm located.😒 I'm leaning towards the laowa 9mm.
That’s sad to hear. Hope you find better clients then.
Great video Pascal, glad you like the autofocus performance of the X-H2S. In your "120P Issues & Settings" section, I didn't completely understand what pattern was showing up in the image FLOG2 120P / LONG-GOP / 720MBPS vs F-LOG2 120P / LONG-GOP / 720MBPS. Do you see some weird patterns? Thanks again for your video :)
Also one more question if I may :). When you are talking about the 55-200mm Fuji, are you referring to the "Fujifilm Xf 55-200mm F3.5-4.8" or the 50-140mm f/2.8? Thanks again for your video.
If you look on the lens in the test shot, you see the moire pattern appear on the straight lines of the rubber. Maybe you can’t see it on UA-cam with the compression and in lower resolutions. Out of camera, it directly jumped into my eye.
I mean the 55-200. It’s more travel friendly 😉
Badass entry !! Nd awsm colourgrade
Thanks, it's actually not much color grading. I used the Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation inside the camera and added a few VFX with DaVinci Resolve. Colorwise, I only adjusted contrast, saturation and exposure a bit in post.
@@pascalbasel ok brother !! I have a question !! I want to buy a great film making camera !! I choose bmpcc 6k pro but main reason i am not going with this , its not weather sealed !!! Now i have 2 options plz suggest !!
I don't like sony so much !! So
Lumix s5 vs fuji xh2s , for film making !! Plz reply
Both cameras are great and have their advantages. I'd overall give it to Fuji, but it's about 500$ more... ask yourself how important autofocus is for you and if the 4K60 crop of the S5 is a problem. Also Fuji has more dynamic range.
@@pascalbasel thnx buddy !! Xh2s will be my first camera 🙏 as soon as release in India
Ich nutze seit 3 Jahren eine X-T3 und nutze sie größenteils zum Filmen und liebe sie, allein wegen des Designs. Besonders liebe ich die X-T3 mit dem Sigma 18-35. Nun bin ich aber bei dem Punkt angekommen, dass mir aus der Perspektive eines Videoproduzenten die typischen DSLM Bodies zu klein sind und eher Nachteile bieten.
MIt der X-H2s hat Fuji eine perfekte Hybridkamera herausgebracht und irgendwo hoffe ich, dass Fuji irgendwann mal eine Cinema Kamera auf den Markt bringen wird. Ein größeres Gehäuse, wie die einer Sony FX6 oder Canon C300iii würde zusammen mit den Specs und der Color Science von Fujifilm eine grandiose Kamera hergeben. Mir fehlen halt aktuell bei den DSLMs die Möglichkeit von Timecode, SDI oder XLR Eingängen, ohne dass das Konstrukt seltsam unnatürlich groß aussieht.
Kurz gesagt: Ich wünsche mir, dass Fuji eine X-C1 entwickeln würde, im Gehäuse einer RED Komodo oder einer FX6 mit SDI, TC, XLR und interne ND-Filter. Ich brauche kein IBIS, da IBIS den natürlichen Handheld Look, den man sich von Cine Kameras wünscht, kaputt machen würde. Mit der Möglichkeit von internem ProRes wäre das eine Traumkamera. Und passende Objektive hat ja Fujifilm mit iher Fujinon MK oder Premista Serie auch schon :D. Wenn sie den Sensor noch ein Stück größer machen würden, wie der Komodo Sensor und dann noch sich darum kümmern, dass das Bild nicht zu überschärft aufgezeichnet wird, wäre mein Traum in Erfüllung.
Don’t forget Fuji is famous for its firmware updates this camera will just get even better over time…..this is just the beginning.
What title of this music intro. help..
Hallo Pascal, heute ist die Kamera eingetroffen und ich kämpfe mich durchs Menü(schon anders als bei XT4). Video AF ist um Längen besser. Aber eine Sache finde ich einfach nicht, 40 Fotos pro Sekunde. Früher gab es da ein Rad für(CH, CL) und nun stehe ich wie der Ochs vorm Berg. Kannst Du helfen? Gruß und das nächste mal wieder auf Englisch :-)
Einfach auf Electronic Shutter stellen und 40 ist verfügbar 😉
@@pascalbasel Hallo Pascal, danke Dir für Deine Antwort. Hatte ich gestern schon gemacht, aber ich wusste nicht, wo der Kamera dann sage mach Serienbildaufnahmen. Nachdem mir zwei Fotoläden nicht helfen konnten (die Mitarbeiter hat richtig der Ehrgeiz gepackt) hat mir ein anderer UA-camr helfen können. Der Mülleimer Knopf ist gleichzeitig der drive Knopf und DARÜBER geht es dann. Manometer, gut versteckt. Meine ersten Eindrücke sind Deinen sehr ähnlich by the way. Gruß
Ach, das mit dem Drive Knopf wusste ich. Dachte du auch^^ Darüber kommt man auf der X100V ja in den Videomodus. Hat bei mir auch etwas gedauert bus ich den gefunden hatte.
do you find the autofocus is as sticky as the sony a7iv in video?
In up to 4K60, yes when it comes to object/face tracking. But I have the impression that it's weaker in 120P. Have to do further testing for that.
@@pascalbasel thanks pascal...i was wondering what made you decide to sell your sony a7siii?
I‘m saying that at the end of the video 😉
@@pascalbasel ohh nice! I’m deciding whether or not to sell my Sony for an XH2s.. I have a Sony a7siii and a Sony a7iv also 😂🫣
@@Iamtongue
Of course don't sell sony, Fujifilm X-H2S sucks, it's obvious, it's just advertising....
Thanks for your video Pascal. I also purchased the X-H2S today. I have two questions if you don’t mind:
In your X-T4 video you shared that you use standard and flat profiles (C1, C2, C3 etc) of film simulations and for FLOG. However, on my camera the MY menu is grayed out. Do you know if we can set profiles on the H2S through we can quickly switch?
Similar to the question above, do you know if we can leave the settings for 4K24/60P on HVEC all intra 360 mbps, FLOG2 and for 4K120P FLOG, Long Gop 720 mbps, without having to go into the menu each time we want to switch from slow mo to normal?
Thanks so much!
Thanks. I think it’s grayed out because you have f-log or f-log2 turned on. Turn it off and you can set film simulations.
And yes, you can save all the settings in C-profiles.
Very cool 🤝🤟🏼😎
can you give me an idea if I should switch to the xh2s from the XT4? I shoot mostly videos. Is the image quality much much better compared to the xt4?
Higher dynamic range, less rolling shutter, 120P... you must know if that's worth it. For me, yes. Alone the autofocus etc. are a huge step up.
@@pascalbasel Ive been deciding between the s5iix or the xh2s. Thanks for this info.
Heavily considering a Fuji, the AF/DoF/ISO is a little less than I'm used to but I just need something smaller and lighter cuz I have such tiny hands lol and Sony would probably be perfect for me but I just see the yellowish skin and am immediately grossed out. I like the look of B&W or film so Fuji is almost becoming my perfect camera...almost. Just a little more Fuji...or gimme a FF option:P
You don't need FF. Get a few F1-1.4 primes and you're fine. Even the 16-55 F2.8 has more than enough bokeh.
Would you like to ask whether the latest firmware can solve the problem that the brightness of 16-55 lenses will change during zooming?
Who should I ask?
But to answer your question, every zoom lens has it on Fuji. It’s not an issue with only the 16-55.
@@pascalbasel Sorry for the translation software error
@@user-dy4zb7po3s No worries, it happens 👍🏻
Pascal , do you live thailand? @12:04 Those ‘thai-style bbq’ grill plates! Haha
Yes, I live in Thailand 😊
why is fuji less megapixels?
Which fuji lens did you use??
The intro was 90% shot on the Viltrox 13mm F1.4. Other lenses I have right now are Fuji 16-55 F2.8, 55-200 & Samyang 12mm F2.
@@pascalbasel thanks for the reply
Love the channel but so far I like Sony look over fuji - slog seems better for a cinematic highlight rolloff ? Curious if you compare
It depends what you make out of it. The Phantom LUTs for Sony give you a really nice rolloff. But the XH2S has slightly more dynamic range, what you can use for a smooth rolloff. I bet there will be good transforms and LUTs in the future that make that easy for people that don’t want to mess around with curves to make it happen,
@@pascalbasel we will see :) maybe I’ll join you but so far love the a7s3
They are all great cameras. Can’t go wrong with any.
@@pascalbasel well said friend! Congrats on the new system. Look forward to the new videos
I went to the A7IV because the eye detection was so good and sticky. How does the eye detection of the X-H2S compare?
1:30
I used Fuji cameras as my main work system for 10 years before transitioning to Sony about a year ago. The main reason was for Sony’s focus tracking in video mode which is superb. Once the bodies are set up properly and you get used to the menu system, they are fantastic work horses and just as much fun to use.
its gonna take a lot of videos from youtubers to repair the first impression that xh2s left: that video autofocus is sub-par. if they really fixed it and it looks good now, then they should not have released it when they did, because the initial reviews are not favourable in that regard.
That’s very true. I think Fuji lost a lot of sales because of that. And the worst thing is that it seems to become a trend. DJI did the same with the Mavic 3 and Autel with the Nano+… companies should stop that.
Great to hear… I guess the question will eventually become what will keep this body relevant at the price once the xt5 is released. I assume it will have the same DR, AF, etc minus a few codecs.
I hope that they can fit the sensor and processor into an X-T body but I'm not sure if it's possible due to heat. If yes and if the price is in the same bracket, that would be a best-seller. I guess, they will probably strip it down a bit with lower bitrates, "only" 4K60 and no Cast cards. What would be totally fine.
@@pascalbasel did you happen to notice af performance varying widely based on lens choice? Beautiful work btw!
@@marcopolocucina2484 Thanks, I had the impression that the Samyang 12mm is a bit weaker in terms of af, but it's just an impression and I didn't properly test it.
Sadly the Samyang 12mm AF disable ibis on the Fuji cameras, that’s why I sold mine
I have owned 5 ff bodies. The new Viltrox 75 1.2 on my XH2s sure as hell looks "FF". More DOF control than the FF lenses I could afford with Canikon.
I’m selling my Canon R5 gear to go back to Fujifilm full time with the H2s and H2. Then the 100s will remain my studio and commercial jobs cam!
I‘d love to see a stacked medium format sensor^^
Mannn I’m in a dilemma here. I have the xt4 and I just bought an a7iv. I really do miss the fuji colors. Even using Flog then color grading it’s way easier to grade the footage over the slog3 footage that comes out of the a7iv. The Sony comes with this orange, purplish skin tone backed in and It’s hard to get it out! The fuji has super skin tones and a more realistic overall color. I like the Sony AF and low light performance and the lens selection is crazy. I’m really considering selling my Sony and xt4 and just picking up the xh2s because the color grading on the Sony is a lot of work!
Yeah, either switch back then or try different conversion luts for sony (Phantom LUTs) are great.
@Sal Romney I used Phantom LUTs all the time with Sony and they are truly amazing. But back to Fuji for over a month, I can only say that it’s better. Not day and night better but better.
Battery life?
Is it worth upgrading from the xt4 to xh2s?
X-H2s = better features and af, X-T4 = more fun… you decide
@@pascalbasel thank you for the answer!
The A9 has a stacked sensor. I think that’s the “cheapest” full frame with stacked sensor you can buy :-)
Thanks for clarifying. I was never into a9, so I‘ve missed that.
Not new
Fujifilm has great cameras and lens. But Fujifilm has only crop matrix((((( I use Canon EOS R6 for my UA-cam videos. It is fantastic camera. I love it))))💙
Nicee u live in thailand??
Yes, best country 🇹🇭
😍😍😍
Nice camera for graveyard shooting, you don`t even have to post process.
The colors are spot on. If you like dead colors.
NICE VIDEO!
I have a very similar feeling about shooting photos with sony.
You are not far away from 100k 😎
Thanks bro, yeah time for a sprint ;-)
I hope the video was helpful and you enjoyed it. Get your Fujifilm X-H2S through this link on Amazon to support my channel without paying more: geni.us/3B5sdU *
The Nikon Z9 is the lowest priced full frame stacked sensor camera.
APSC. Smaller lenses means lighter rig, smaller gimbals, smaller tripods, easier to carry.
HOLLYWOOD SUPER 35 LOOK.
720 mbps is using hell of a lot of data
Yes 😄
@@pascalbasel But still less than pro res 4.2.2 lite, isn't it? and more than pro res proxy( on xh2s?)
And, if I'm right, even pro res 4.2.2 light , is less compressed and wrote at a higher bitrate than h265 720 mbps , isn't it ?( something like 1100 mbps I guess)
-what about prores proxy vs h265 720mbps?
- May I ask on wich support you save(Sd v90, cfexpress(wich one?) or external ssd)?
Just google ProRes whitepaper and you find all the bitrates for each resolution.
@@pascalbasel Thanks. I just checked and... in 4k 25 , pro res hq is only 786 mbps and pro res light 365. Is this still better quality/less compressed than h265 720, or is it just easier to edit ?
c'est dommage d'avoir fait 30 minutes sur la video alors que c'est en premier lieu un appareil PHOTOS ....
I'm second like
Ich verwette nen Keks dass er Deutscher ist :)
Ein Keks ist aber nicht sehr viel ;-)
Fujifilm are applying very aggressive chroma noise reduction even in minimum ISO and minimum noise reduction settings. The shadows look clean but they are monochromatic. I would prefer to have some shadow chroma texture instead. This is a limitation, not an advantage.
Shadows look very good to me. No issue there.
Sony a7iv better -
there is no doubt
For many people, yes. Depends what features one values more.
I like it but it’s bloody expensive
I would rather take the r7 with also stacked sensor with 1000€ cheaper
Old sensor, not stacked my dude
