I own the Fujifilm X-H2s. I've been a pro photographer my whole life, 66 years. I would not trade this camera for any other camera in the world. I had a Fujifilm XT4 and Canon R7, and sold them both, after testing the 3 in open shade, sun light, and low light. Fujifilm X-H2s was the best of all in all situations. I like it so much; I bought a second one.

@@Skaterman2413 Its 80-85% of the same camera as a XH2S. Great little pocket beast, not for general pro work but ive used it as a B cam on my shootings, alongside some actual pro work. Both video and photos out of it was amazing and well suited to send to client, but I woudnt use it as an A cam, rather have FF for that. Pretty much only bought it because apsc lenses are cheap and provide insane value; stuff like sirui nightwalker costs 300$ and will provide incredible and beautiful cinematic posibilities.

16:43 Yes!!! Thank you. It is a huge aggravation to me that it seems every single KZitemr requires the side hinged flip out screen, it’s simply so they can film themselves. Meanwhile so many regular filmmakers and photographers don’t want it…the tilt behind the lens axis is far better in every way. And in over 500 weddings I’ve never had to film or photograph myself! But will they listen to us? No. Excellent video and thank you again.

I don't think it's that big of a downside. I use it to rest against my wrist to stabilize filming and getting low shots. I also like that I can flip it inside to protect the screen while traveling. I wouldn't say it's just to film ourselves, but it is a nice feature to have in case we want to.

All appreciated but the image is a little too all over the place and variable here and its clear that personal projects get a very different look. Im sure this is down to the profiles but as pretty as they are they do look a little effected. Couldn’t find a frame that i thought oh ok that’s what the image looks like. This is not a fault if the camera but an intentional function of how you use it so differently across projects. Im not sure if it’s intentional but the clue is possibly in your use of super 8. The images range from sub iphone to soft and poetic rather too quickly and a caption on the frame would help so much to know what profile you are shooting. Long video but its clear the effort that was made and it’s really appreciated. Other reviewers have identified a look that this camera has but im still unsure how consistent and out of the box that is. In using every camera know to man i can attest to the fact that every camera has an absolutely distinct image out of the box and this is more so with moving images and cinema cameras. I want to love this camera as i have always had a soft spot for fuji and cant quite believe except for the politics and obvious marketing investment needed why they don’t make a cinema camera. Maybe the kinefinity mavo s35 ii is a test case. Their heritage has alway been stills. Anywho like the film i really want to like this KZitemrs for all his honesty and effort and I appreciate that this is his first video to camera but i would say its super comprehensive but super long and it might not hurt to lift the tone of your voice a little. It neednt be a performance and of course be yourself but its a pretty below conversational tone and it does feel pretty oppressive at least to me after a while. I was keen to hear the content but in all honesty im sorry to say that as a consequence I couldn’t wait for the video to end. That said the detail of the review meant that I didn’t want to miss a valuable detail or perhaps more honestly didnt want to have to watch the video through again. I hope this doesnt sound overtly critical. Maybe if you check out blaine westrops videos you’ll know what i mean. It’s absolutely nothing personal and everyone has there own taste. Thanks so much for all that hard work and good luck.

Thanks! Yeah apologies if that wasn't the most clear. I am able to get a clean feed to my monitor when recording in 4K which is great but when recording in 6.2K I don't think there is a way to send a lower resolution to the monitor. My monitor can't accept a 6K signal and so I am left to send it with the info display which decreases the quality. On my XT3 you were able to set the HDMI output to HD or 4k which was nice for adapting to different monitors input requirements. Was just surprised they took that out of the menu system.

Hey Blase, thanks so much for a great review, one question. How do you set up your mic situation for the talking head shots? Do you have a wireless transceiver into the camera or something similar?

Thanks so much! For this the mic just plugs directly into a Tascam Dr-10L. I have never really used wireless as there always seems to be frequency / interference issues.

In short no. While the lens has some at f1.8, I don't regularly notice it in scenarios I am filming. Some of the more noticeable vignetting in this footage is caused by a new VND I am testing. Hope that helps!

I had a similar issue of the camera freezing and the power button didn't work. I had to take out the battery. It happened only once and I was taking photos, no video. A couple days ago I upgraded the firmware, hopefully that will fix it. Great review by the way, your footage looks amazing. I love the XH2S, so far very happy with it. I've been doing mostly photography, and sometimes I found that it struggles with low light autofocus, but besides that, it's an amazing camera.

others are free to chime in but i will always advise people to use what they have as a new camera will not change their desire to go make things in the long term. in the short term a new camera can definitely be exciting but if i personally owned the a7 iv I would be using it as much as I can as it is a very solid camera that is able to produce stunning images/video. would totally depend on your use cases if the Fuji would be better for you. hope that helps :)

@blasepivovar
Жыл бұрын
Would totally depend on your filming scenario. I think for a lot of people they would not see a massive improvement in 'image quality'. I would say that there is a notable difference IF you are comfortable shooting and grading F-log2 as I think that is where the money is at with the XH2S. When it comes to filming in a Rec709 profile like classic chrome or just using F-log 1, my XT3 and XH2S feel pretty similar with the XH2S being subtly better overall. I think the main improvements from the XT4 would be the IBIS, Image quality with Flog 2 and 6.2K open gate being nice for the additional vertical resolution for cropping in post or making vertical content. Hope that helps!

Excellent review, though what exactly did you mean about the HDMI output signal and degraded image? Clarification would be awesome. Does it mean you cannot enable video monitoring settings such as frame guides or LUT preview etc that some monitors come with and are stuck with the camera settings being mirrored on the external monitor?

Good question. When using "Output info display" the picture going to the monitor is slightly more blurry / less crisp then having that setting off. Most of the time I have it off and then use LUTS, frame guides, etc built into my external monitor. Hope that helps
