Thank you for watching the whole adventure! It is always a pleasure to read your comments! Hehe you must go, it is very lovely! And if you go off season (out of high summer and ski season it is pretty reasonable in price). Thank you for saying this, yes it really did mean so much and has changed a lot in my life which is lovely. And Erik is the best adventure pal ever ☺️

Thank you Trent, it always means a lot coming from you 🙂✌🏻

Really appreciate it, thank you ☺️

Thank you ☺️

This is very kind, thank you 🙏🏻 And definitely do go one day, it’s an incredibly moving and soul awakening place 🙂

Thank you very much, the evening was just perfect and the light was stunning. Thank you again 🙃

Thank you so much! It was fantastic and I really miss it there! I am so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching them all. All the best for 2024 🙃🙃

Thank you for watching and leaving a lovely comment. I glad you felt transported to Chamonix! You are very right, I suppose being sad is a good sign as it meant so much but at the same time you a right in that there is always something else around the corner. Thank you and have yourself a very merry Christmas and all the best for 2024 🙂🙂

Thank you for watching and your kind words! 🙂

Thank you for your kind words and comment. Yes I can briefly explain, so the XH2s (in my opinion) is mainly for me my filming camera but also capable for very fast and detailed photography, I love it and it’s a great camera. The XH2 with it’s amazing sensor is a wonderful photography camera with filming capabilities (but not to the level of the XH2s). The reason why I chose the XH2 over the XT5 was because I wanted to cameras I can use side by side that were basically the same in terms of the build - the bodies and functions on the XH2 and XH2s are exactly the same just different sensors. The sensor in the XH2 is the exactly same sensor in the XT5, so it would just be down to preference for yourself and costings - if you need two cameras the same or not. I also picked the XH2 over the XT5 as I love the fully articulated LCD screen which has been great for vlogging and self portrait work. I hope that helps 🙂🙂

@@wildandfreevictoria Thank you so very much. This was extremely insightful. I didn't realize the sensor for the XH2 and XH2S are different.

Thank you! I mix it up depending on the scene but mostly standard, or the softer settings with less contrast and saturation 🙃

Thank you very much 🙂

Thank you for watching and i’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂✌🏻

🙂✌🏻

Thank you lovely Leo ☺️ yes a lot of effort but it is worth it. It is sad but there will be more adventures on the way ☺️

Hi, I can’t remember completely as it was a while ago but I always shoot in RAW and the film simulation is usually standard or chromatic chrome 🙂

Thank you! And yes I do get what you mean. I did shoot the panning shots in 60fps and slowed some of them down so I think it probably amplify the panning issue more but I did notice that as well. Ideally I should just use a gimbal but I don’t have one and also can’t carry it up mountains. I would also normally shoot in slow motion (so 5 times slower) which gets rid of this issue (but I don’t always want to have to shoot in slow motion). So yes it is a bit of a pickle, it could be a stabilisation thing, i’ll have to test it with my 23mm (the new one) and see if I get the same issue. I’ll be doing a review of the XH2 soon so it will be a good test for it! For me my go to filming camera is still my XH2s, I just prefer completely for filming it is a powerhorse. And in situations where I use the XH2 it is great but when using a tripod or gimbal. I do a lot of handheld work with the XH2s and the juddering isn’t an issue. I think the XH2 is fantastic for photography and tripod/gimbal work (and static) filming but not the best overall filming camera and this will be a similar result for the X-T5. You can film on both but not to the standard of the XH2s. I hope that helps!

@@wildandfreevictoria Ah ok - yeah, I think I see. So if you slow 60 fps down to 30 fps, you are back to judder as if you took at 30 fps!! I have not tried this actually - all I know is that if I view at 60fps @ 60fps - juddering disappears. Then - if you take at 120 fps - the camera is slowing it down to your timeline internally (you specify the fps you want it to write out to), so that is probably why. If I use a gimbal - I am stunningly surprised at just how slowly it pans - so that takes some self control :D There are a lot of variables to play with here - it is a bit of a 3D chess mind melt!! Final Cut Pro did help me out a bit with this actually - there is a feature called "Optical Flow". For other reasons I moved to DaVinci - and have not found anything similar - yet! So whether or not the X-H2S is not showing the same issues as you might take at 4K 120fps or it is due to the faster readout speed is an interesting question. I suspect it could be a combination. Like I said - I think the issue gets worse form me if I use the 4K HQ or 6K modes - so I think it is challenging the 40MP read out speed. I am actually curious as how the X-S20 behaves - as it is only a 26MP sensor (like the X-H2S) - it may actually be better for video than the X-H2 or X-T5. What a tangled web 😂Thanks for replying 😀

Asi I am kind of limited to having one camera - it has actually changed my video technique. ie I rarely pan now!! However - take heart - if you pan on an iPhone for example it is even worse. Although curiously horizontal pans are way worse than vertical ones (assuming you are trying to take in horizontal 16:9) - ie not taking vertical video for Instagram purposes. Now my brain is hurting again!!

BUT - and here is the final fly in the ointment which I don't quite understand. My GoPro and Osmo Action are perfect when it comes to panning. But actually I think that could be because they effectively have an electronic gimbal - this is different from Digital Image Stabilisation I think - as if you pan quickly you can watch it catch up on the screen if you pan too fast. Digital Image Stabilisation on mirrorless cameras from any manufacturer does not seem to be as advanced as this. You would think it would not be too difficult for them to line up - although it is important to note that Action Cams have much smaller sensors - so again, that could be why.

🙂🙂
