I've been using Fuji for years for my channel. I wanted 2 things: a bit more resolution for my landscapes and auto modes and AF that worked for solo content creation. Back in August I didn't think Fuji would come up to speed anytime soon, so I bought some Sony's and I got what I wanted. BUT, Fuji made quite the leap with the H's and I bought both and sold off the Sony's. The eye AF is as good as or better than Sony and the auto WB and exposure during solo video works now compared to my XT4's. No crop 4k120 is a lot of fun as well on the XH2s. They're smaller, lighter and less expensive as well. Life is good!

The IBIS is great for stills and good for video, but it's not a gimbal. I tend to use a tripod instead of IBIS anyway, though, I'm old school.

@frankhu8692
@frankhu8692 Год назад
xh2 has way bigger buffer rate, other than that, it has a better and larger evf and higher resoluton flip out screen, if you need to do more burst shots and wish to wait less and keep shooting for your wedding style, then xh2 makes a difference, plus if you want to shoot video for wedding also, xh2 has full size hdmi + better recording codac/capability + optional active cooling unit. Other than that, if you feel like xt3's buffer and speed is good enough for you, but yout need higher resolution, better auto focuse, or you need the evf/screen and handheld feeling to be better, or any more video shooting with better cooling better codac, xh2 is the go

I love how you noted the 'kind' of noise Fujifilm has in video. While there is certainly visible noise at 6400+ ISO on my X-T4, it doesn't look nearly as nasty as many other camera's digital noises that I've used. I rarely even feel the need to de noise even up to 8000 ISO.

Hi Gajan! I just want to throw in a comment for the algorithm to appreciate how well you've articulated your thoughts for the rest of us and how being a fan of a brand (any brand of any product line, not just limited to photography) does not exclude one to present not only positives but also call out short comings of a system without being either false or whiney about them. Very fine presentation with class, which many RU-vid reviewers should take note of. Thank you for sharing 👍

a very nice review and pointers for fuji to improve in an update hopefully interesting (heart broken) that your advice for people who want to do run and gun will be better with sony 14:40 . I have been fence sitting for a long time, not that I was in a hurry to make a move, but certainly will take that point seriously and evaluate when the time comes. I mean in the end dont want to be blinded by brand loyalty and just use the best tool for the job. appreciate the honesty in your reviews

This camera is everything I thought it would be AND MORE. Jumping from the xt4 to the xh2s was a big leap forward to me. The 4k60 is impeccable, much better than the xt4. The 6.2k open gate prores HQ looks like something you would see on a cinema screen. The low light capability is great all the way up to 8k ISO very very clean. The 4k120 looks really good not soft, not weird it looks great. The camera is super fast in every single way. Fuji hit a home run here. I use this camera on all my pro video work.

Great overview Gajan. I just keep waiting for a Fuji digital cinema camera. I have three X-T3s so I don’t need a hybrid camera, I need this camera in a box form. I love everything about it but I’m missing waveform, dual Zebras, XLRs, built in variable NDs, TC I/O. Fuji could capture a good chunk of the video market if they’d do this and charge $4k for it.
@frankhu8692
@frankhu8692 Год назад
I do agree that if fuji film wants to make xh line professional for video making and larger production, a revamp of the menu and internal nd system with integraded fan is a must. On the other hand, although we do assume that the false color, wave form, and other cinema features should be present for a professional video camera, fujifilm is not calling their camera a cinema camera. On the other side, if you look at sony and canon, who also sells hybrid cameras, they are not that great either and even missing some features that are present on xh2s, such as internal prores recording with selection of codec, full size hdmi, and an option to have active cooling. Take a7s3 and eos r5 as great examples, both market them as video and hybrid cameras, they are missing nd and false color as well, no active colling system, and their menues are just ok either. So, if you feel desrespectful from fuji, please also blame other companies like sony and canon who are doing something even worth as well, I think fuji is still trying to make xh2s more for sports/bird/action photographers as well as for more advance individuals and small studios, but overall this is still a hybrid device, and fuji is lacking experience in making cinema systems. On the other hand, both sony and canon have their cinema line up and tons of experiences, yet they even did relativly worse than fuji in the same price range. Thus, I feel the same thing as you do, but don't fell disrespectful from fujifilm
@Eyeofkamau
@Eyeofkamau Год назад
Disagree with the fan part. The optional fan is far more ideal in my opinion. It gives the same results without making the camera 2x thicker by default. Not everyone is going to push it to the point where they need cooling, so being forced to have an even more chunky camera when majority of people are in apsc for the size and weight advantage will be counterproductive. If they make a cinema camera, then yeah a built in fan is necessary, but not for these types of all-in-one xh cameras. It will be better to create one more seperate line of cinema dedicated cams for that

Love your reviews man and love your commentary about this camera. However, I really think they are not trying to compete with cinema camera companies. They seem to just want to add in more things for HYBRID shooters without trying to pretend to be a cinema camera company. Stepping up from the XT3 and 4 I can appreciate all of the upgrades that they have added. I just really don’t believe they have to try to be something they aren’t and to be honest there isn’t any APS-C camera that comes close. But I hear you. Those are valid wish-list items.Keep up the great work sir!

@@GajanBalan true!!! So true! But it's kinda like Sony and Canon doing the same and having their cameras overheat OR only allowing raw to be accomplished by buying an additional recorder.

I appreciate your call for transparency on Fuji's information thy share with us on the video side of things. As a video guy, I wish so bad I had a deeper understanding of ISO response like how Blackmagic shares stops of dynamic range per ISO value so you can understand not only how many stops of usable dynamic range you have at each ISO value, but how many stops in the highlights and the shadows you have at each ISO value. To me this is basic information a company taking video serious should have. When I'm at a wedding and start the ceremony at 2:00 pm under direct sunlight and finish the night at 10:00pm on an unlit dance floor I want to know how my ISO will respond in those situations and what information I will be able to pull out when I get back home in the editing room. I feel like I'm rambling but I love Fuji and I want to be informed so I can be as good as I can be right when I get the camera rather than have my clients pay for my mistakes just so I can learn from them.

In Multiple/double exposure how many modes do we get, number exposures can be set, do we get the Raw file also or only Jpeg files... Cause my XH-1 doesn't gives a Raw file... I think if reviers like you starts including such features Fujifilm shall/might listen and include the same in future cameras/firmware updates. Please consider my request 🙏🙏 God Bless 🙏🙏

@Eyeofkamau
@Eyeofkamau Год назад
100% agree. I have ss to front dial, iso to back dial and Aperture controled via lens. Now I have an unused command dial since all my lenses have aperture rings. Would much rather prefer to still have the option to map iso to back dial rather than the option being completely stripped away. Makes absolutely no sense and setting iso to any other button to “make it easier” like some suggest still doesn’t suffice, it’s still significantly slower than using a command dial. I have my iso set to the up and down dpad buttons. It’s quick but I still can’t stand the 3 step process of pressing a button, scrolling, and then selecting the desired iso all without being able to see a live view of my exposure scale. And I don’t like the vertial orientation of the iso menu. Takes up way too much screen space imo, and is confusing when they give the option to scroll the comman dial to select the iso. The dial moves left to right but the menu goes up and down lol. Fuji is absolutely incredible but they’re all of the place with this part. Really looking to a big change.

Hi Gahan, I love your channel and I would like to bring something to your attention. A wedding photographer in San Francisco was brutally beaten for his photography equipment at gun point during a wedding by two armed thugs. The guy held onto his equipment, but things are getting bad and threatening our art. Two RU-vid channels, Vahagraphy and 247 Media group have taken up the cause of alerting the community. If you find time in your schedule to bring this up about safety it would be appreciated. You can refer to their channels for details.

Robberies happen everyday too regular people just walking down the street minding their business. You just always have to be on alert. We have no control on what will happen.

@@djxcel23 you are 100 percent, but it is happening more and more to people in our profession and that by just doing your jobs to try and make a living. When you are taking photos and video, you can’t be alert at all times do to the nature of the business, which requires you to concentrate on your subject and not the environment. You don’t have control because your client expects you to get the work done. It is a topic, like all others that needs just a little more attention that everyone with a platform should talk about from time to time as it is far more important than a camera or lens review. I don’t want anyone in our professional to be killed, but I do thank you for your response.

@@sidvicious3129 I never go alone, that is key. I know its hard to get someone to roll with you but that is a must. Especially if your going to be outside. In areas you are not familiar with. Also tie your equipment to you home insurance, you can get it replaced.

@@djxcel23 you are so right here, we have insurance on all of our equipment insured through our business, because business clients, especially corporate want to know about your insurance during the beginning stages and they have really strict docking, and Require COI certificate upon showing up on site. What I have found is a lot of people take safety for granted, especially in the suburbs going into urban areas.

Great video but I think you are wrong about their target audience. Existing Fuji users have slated the camera because it doesn't have their little dials, it's like Fuji is trying to break up their little cult. They don't care that a new CEO was brought in to save Fuji from going under and that this camera will bring new customers in from Canon, Sony and Nikon, precisely because it doesn't look like my great granddad's camera. This is a pro camera that can deliver for the sport and wildlife photographer, hence the new 150-600 which fits the new camera superbly. I know nothing about video and have no interest in it and I wish I could rip it out of this camera so I could buy it at a lower price. It is such a waste for me to buy one, but I am going to. Because this camera is the camera that takes over from Canon's 7D Mk2. Where Canon failed miserably, Fuji have succeeded. Congrats Fuji

I hear you, but that’s not what Fujifilm’s marketing for this camera was focused on. A lot of it was featuring directors and DPs using this in cinema environments. Most of my conversations with them were about the video features. So while I hear you, the reality is that Fujifilm wants to attract enthusiast and pro video users but falls short there in some key ways.

@@GajanBalan Then, I guess they dropped the ball, again......................... The pre-production models went out to a lot of wildlife and sports guys, to then not follow that up is.......................well so Fuji. Create an amazingly fast hybrid that has reach and release with a 150-600 and then not major it in wildlife and sports is ............................ leming like. Are they going to pull lots of customers from Nikon, Canon or Sony with video? The market that it could rip into is sports and wildlife, expecially for the enthusiast.

If the camera can be powered by USB-C you don’t need a dummy battery.

True, but removes the ability of have the USB-C as an I/O port for other functions. Kinda strange the battery door regresses to this.
