I almost bought the Fuji X-T5 

Thank you for your comment. X-H2S is a beast with amazing colors. Glorious EVF.

Thank you.

I went back to X-H2S. Prefer better AF for moving objects and don’t need 40MP.

From what I’ve read it’s about 3 stops of DR improvement. What you’re likely to notice is focusing in low light and AF improvements. X-H2S is the only Fuji I can use like a Sony A7IV in that I don’t have to focus and recompose or focus at/on eye.. can literally turn on eye detect and use BBF to hold focus on eye and compose shot as you please. It’s like cheating.

@@TCinSoCal Thanks a lot!

if I can recommend a video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t6mrMDo94UI.html

I think all boils down to sensor size . Both XT4 and 5 is APSC . Just XT5 is 40mp . so what you are looking have more noise . Probably XT5 sensor should be bit better , since Fujifilm improved technology . Other is which lens did they use in test charts . Do XT4 and XT5 exactly same lens... idk

True. However, the jump from X-H1 to X-H2S is significant. I’ve now tried Sony, Nikon and Canon.. and came back to the X-H2S.

No. I don’t shoot birds.

@@TCinSoCalthanks. I cannot decide between the xt5, xh2 and the ch2s. Do you have any opinion on the xh2 vs vs S version? Do you think 40mp sensor is better than the 26 mostly for photography.

@@mrsvetly What type of photography? Out of the 3 I would pick one of the X-H models.. they are better built and have a much better EVF. Between the X-H2S and X-H2 I think it comes down to what you are shooting. If you are shooting moving things.. X-H2S hands down. If you are shooting landscape, portraits, etc. in a slow/controlled setting.. likely X-H2. I have seen many videos here with people not 100% .. or 90% happy with the AF/eye detection of the X-H2. I can tell you that I am VERY happy with the AF/eye detection of the X-H2S… especially after recent firmware updates. I have an image that is kind of a joke.. it is out of focus, not level.. but the eye is perfection. I will say that the new 1.4 lenses (18/23/33) pair very well with the X-H line. For me, I don’t need 40MP in that I don’t crop and don’t need 80 MB files.. I do all my editing in Lightroom on iOS. If I was ONLY landscape I would consider the X-H2.. but I personally need the AF of the X-H2S for family, sports, etc.

@@TCinSoCal thanks for your opinion. I would be doing all kinds of photography- people, dogs, birds, landscaping. I think i would go for the xh2s ad it’s more future proof. Fuji just released updates for some zoom lenses as well. If you have any I would check if there’s any update for for yours.

Do you set your NR to -4? It’s the first thing I do with any Fuji body. I can’t stand Fuji’s NR. Other videos show the X-T5 having better high ISO noise than the X-T4? I haven’t seen those. I’ve seen ..‘it’s so close’ and ‘the ISO noise at/above 3200 isn’t THAT bad’.. I’m not normally one for clinical testing but the controlled environment/lighting shows more noise at equivalent/lower ISO values from the X-T5. After testing multiple systems I have gone back to the X-H2S… for me it’s the best balance of resolution, AF, colors, and ergonomics. My side hustle is an X-Pro2.

the video is bullshit

Thank you.

Few people will argue better image quality here. Yes, resolution of X-T5 > X-H2S. My issue is I don’t need the 40 MP enough to get the additional noise that comes with it at medium level ISO values. I am looking at the DPR test charts now.. (no zooming) and the X-H2S at ISO 3200+ looks better than the X-T5.. lower MP sensor has better contrast at ISO 3200+. .The bottle ‘ Honey Ridge Farms’ looks significant worse at ISO 6400 on the X-T5.. noise, contrast.. even sharpness. You can pick anywhere on this chart at ISO 3200+ and the X-H2S image looks better. I know the X-T5 is a resolution beast.. I just prefer not having noise, loss of contrast, etc.. kick in so early in the ISO value range.

I went back to X-H2S after trying A7IV & R6ii.

@@TCinSoCal Fuji forever baby!

@@jimmason8502 loving being back!

​@@TCinSoCal can i ask why? I'm very curious why you'd go with the h2s and not canon when the tests show it handles high iso much better. Thanks!

@@TCinSoCal Why did you go back?

Thank you for letting us know we can only compare in a specific way.

Agreed.
