I bought an X-H2 a few days ago coming from an X-T3 and knowing that the X-T5 was about to get announced. My choice has nothing to do with video, it's all about ergonomics. For a few years I have been trying to convince myself that I love the small form factor and the analog controls of the X-T range. The truth is I just don't. With the X-H2 it's actually liberating to get a camera that really fit in the hand. I am also happy to get back the true and proven PASM system, it feels like I am meeting up with an old friend.

Great video Reggie!! I personally stick Ith my good old XT3. It gives me good result and great experience so far. The 26mpx sensor and AF is enough for my needs.

Keep going, love your work.

As always, great video! This question is for anyone willing to put their two cents in. When shooting events, I myself shoot weddings (XT-4), do you guys actually use the retro dials while shooting? First off I can hardly see the values since I need glasses for reading up close so I stick with the front and rear dials. I recently purchased an XH2 and want to make sure I made the right decision. So far the only caveat for me with the XH2 is not being able to assign the iso to either front or back dial. Otherwise, I love the grip and balance most lenses. The PASM dial is not a big deal to me since it stays on Manual 100% of the time and I would love to know why other users dislike it. Thanks for reading!

I don’t use the retro dials for shooting. I use the front and rear command with aperture ring. With that said the screen was what excited me most about this cam.

Thanks Reggie. Here in Oz they are now starting to do offers on the X-H2 making it about 80% of the price of the X-T5 even though the list price is higher for the X-H2. But I only do stills and I love my 'dials' so I think I'll stick with the X-T3 till early 2023 when they will probably start to include the X-T5 when there are 'offers'.

Long term XT3 user here, having some doubts with the X-T5 in a box in front of me! The difficulty in deciding is not really in the specs (a known quantity that favors the X-H2). The big question is - how does the handling of the X-H4 stack up to the X-T, can it be used in when the stakes are high (weddings / street / events / sport / wildlife) where autofocus mode switching and other settings need to be rapidly adjusted? Any thoughts on this?

I'm not interested in the video side of things, mostly shoot stills while out on hikes, but thinking about the X-H2, mainly because I do like the PASM and the larger grip. I came directly from point and shoot cameras to the X-S10, so it was a fairly smooth transition. I'll probably even keep my X-S10. Cheers, Steve

I have XT4 and sold my XT3 and have been sorry for that except for the IBIS. I don't do video so the XT4 is big overkill for what I do.

I don' t know if it's as needed with the NP-W235 batteries, but I still find it useful when photographing an evening of dance with an XF 50-140. That will be a challenge.

I’ve been holding out on upgrading from my X-T3 which has been working great me for years now. I’m a bit on the fence about the X-T5, it seems promising but I think I need to see a solid enough improvement when it comes to AF (in the end result not just the detection, but that the camera actually focuses more accurately for fast-ish moving subjects), and when it comes to image quality. Will the trade-off between more megapixels and more hard drive space be justified? 26MP has for most use cases been more than enough for me so far. The crops in video are a bit or a downgrade compared to the X-T3, will that be balanced out somehow with other benefits on the X-T5? Otherwise the main reason I would go for the X-H2(s) is the ability to use the custom modes to pretty much have 7 different cameras I can switch between very quickly…

@@Reggiebphoto yes but there will always be limitations in a body like the X-T3/5, since anything that is a physical dial could not be part of a custom mode. I’m talking drive mode, AF mode, iso, etc. Because then the setting on the dial and in the software would diverge and that would just break the whole experience of an X-T body. This is why nothing is locked to a physical dial in the X-H2, which pissed off a lot of people (like say with the AF mode) but made perfect sense from a usability perspective.

Sticking with xt3 for now. Will get either h2s or xt5. Really like battery grip because I do video. But I really prefer the style of the xt5 over the h line up. However that will be 1-2 years down the road.

When i Bought the XT4 2 years ago, I got kinda disappointed with the AF, even with the last 33 1.4 it looks that the af is not good enough, so i would highly go on the XH2S for the high end AF. Furthermore for me the xt4 is too small for my hand, so like many of us, I added a grip but still is not perfect like my old 6d. So today if i would buy a new one, would be XH2s straight. I dont need extra mega pixel to flood my HDD.

I was going to say that I'll go with the XT5 as soon as I can (that might take a couple of years) but your last comment made me stop. I have the XT3 so, besides the megapixels, what would be tha advantage of owning a XT5?

I'd vote with X-H2 for the following reason. - The fully articulating screen is better both for videos and photos IMHO. Most importantly, I can keep it closed 99% of the time for regular angle shots (not low or high), as I always use the view finder for pictures. - The speed of the memory card on X-H2 is better. CFExpress is faster than SDcard. - I always hated the teeny HDMI. I want a chance to get rid of that and go to regular HDMI - Pasm vs not Pasm is a big deal for me. Regardless of the system, I control the variables of iso, shutter speed and f-stop.

Do you think they will release an XS20? What features would you hope for to make it worth it? If I was Fujifilm, I would drop the price of XS10 down to $650 and try to flood the early /junior photographers market. Then release a 999 dollar XS10 with the new sensor and improved auto focus (somehow in the same small body)

the possibilities are endless. but you have some good ideas!

I wish I knew - Have to go get my hands on them. I used to shoot 4x5 film and PhaseOne P45+ medium format digital. I'm downsizing everything (selling off all existing darkroom & camera gear, printers, scanners - all of it) Then I'm picking 1 camera and 3-5 lenses and that's it. Done. It has to be smallish because it's motorcycle travel. So - about that tilt screen - why do you like it better than the fully articulated screen? Seem like you can accomplish the same things, so I must be missing something.

I'm getting the XH2, because the X-T4 I currently have is quite hard to hold for a long time with heavy lenses. My middle finger hurts. I love my X-T4, but it is somehow ergonomically restricted.

I’ve got 3 X-T3s but they’ve been getting a little dodgy on me as of late. I think the internal batteries may be on their last leg so periodically my cameras will reset to factory settings which is annoying but not the end of the world. This issue has set me on a journey of contemplation as to whether or not I should purchase a new camera and which to choose from. I gave the 50R a test drive and loved the results if not the camera itself. I would LOVE to get into the GFX system but that comes with a whole new array of lenses and a hefty price tag for each on top of the $10,000 I’d need to get the GFX100 body I want. I guess if I sold ALL my XF gear that might put me in position to make that decision, but the X-H2 and X-T5 are very tempting for their cost effectiveness. Stills are my bread and butter and while I make movies on the side I have no real desire to shoot video with my personal camera. I’ve always appreciated and enjoyed the aesthetics of the X-T line but the top dials do not lend themselves to smooth operation in event settings. The X-H2’s dials and wheels are much more akin to the canon system I grew up on and make for a more seamless shooting experience. Also I’ve always liked the idea of stowing away my back screen and just using the viewfinder ever since the X-pro 3 came out but I simply cannot abide the rangefinder style. All this to say I’m no closer to making a decision than I was before I watched this video. But thanks Reggie for all you do!

@@Reggiebphoto it makes no sense, you're still one of the top results when searching fujifilm cameras last I checked.

There are absolutely no advantages going for the X-T5 unless you prefer the top dials and tilt LCD. The X-H2 has so many advantages over the X-T5 for not too much more (only £200 more here in the UK).

@Reggiebphoto

Yup and in this video I shared that those are the main differentiators. The xt5 is not marketed to be better than the xh2 and the price reflects that

The grip on the x-h2 would sway me. The x-t line from Fuji is great aside from the skimpy grip that all the cams in that line posses.

I'll keep on the battle with my X-t3 🤘🏾👌🏾

People go around saying that the XT5 is more photography focused like it wont work for videographers. well, in its price range it is the best video camera as well. it's just better at taking photos. that doesn't make it bad at videos or brings another camera from other manufacturer that is a better VALUE than the Fuji Xt series

I switch from Nikon to Fujifilm. I took advantage of a pre-order offer to get the XH2+ 16-80 for 2000$ but I hesitate to cancel and get the XT5+16-80... I would like an opinion

For better ergonomics and grip, XH2. I got the XT5 and managed to get a feel for the XH2 as well - XH2 just felt more comfortable and easier to grip. That is unless you are a woman/have smaller hands..

Im biased I chose the XT5 - its dope ...its brilliant and I cannot fault it. Why I did I choose the Xt5...well I liked the dials. The analogue experience is brilliant. Style matters.

Damn... after I pre-ordered a X-T5 after announcement, I cancelled this morning. Even though I am a huge fan of the X-T line, I ended up going with the X-H2... smh. The X-T5 was going to cover the photo-centric side of things and my recently acquired X-H2s would do most of the video heavy lifting. Well, for my use cases the larger bodied X-H cameras appear to be a better fit for me. I'm sure the X-T5 could get the job done and be much more compact with the dials and lovely tilt screen, but the extra features and ergos on the X-H2 was too hard to pass up. One of the toughest decisions I've had to make in a long time!

@gdfswonder636

Жыл бұрын

I have an X-S10 (love the deep grip) and I pre-ordered the X-T5. Thinking of canceling and getting an X-H2 for the ergos, viewfinder, and CF but I don't like the flip screen, no mcs switch, and I'd love an iso dial. An add on hand grip might help but.....TORN!

Does X-T5 has Image Stabilization? I own X-H2 and X-H2S and i pre-ordered a X-T5. But as a GFX User, i'm happy with XH2 for Focus on Stills and XH2S for Focus on Videowork. So for my, X-T5 is just Fan Service. And i like Fujifilm for doing that Fan-Service. High appreciated next Camera is X100 with 40mp Sensor. I hope this will happen 2023 😀

been waiting since the first XH2s came out for this Xt5 announcement. I've need much faster / better AF than my XT4.

Sort of leaning towards the XH2 so long as it is night and day better, faster than my Xt4.

I am a photographer and don't care about video. I have an X-H1 and an X-T20, which I figured I would upgrade with one of the new releases.

Maybe I'll just get another X-H1, which is a bargain on the used market.
