The white balance conspiracy video is going to be complicated to make because the lens has a big impact on the white balance. If the camera is looking through warmer tinted glass the white balance is going to need to be cooler to compensate. You can clearly see it in this video since you set the WB manually. The Zeiss glass is quite a bit warmer than the fuji lens.

Higher readout speed equals less jello.

I am noticing a bit of a greener cast in the XH2s shadows, I thought at first it might have been the lens but found out the same happened when you did switched the lens. It would be curious to see how both cameras are managing auto white balance comparatively. My XT4 is showing more purple in cloudy weather in auto white balance (I believe that most camera do to), which is fixed by manually selecting the right white balance setting. I am glad your channel exist!

Well, that's the last we going to see out of that camera (I found your ad on Kijiji), I totally agree with your decision Kasey, the XT4 is just either best or equal on most of your tests. I hope you find a buyer quick, and thank you for your sacrifice!

11:38 always surprised by the sun. Cracks me up. It's there everyday dude.

H2S colours looked much nicer on my TV as was the dynamic range. XT 4 was far too red! H2S not as sharp though... bat as you say may be deliberate cos the skin texture looked much better

3:45 -- hmmmm -- reminds me of the rolling shutter of the 720p cell phones of yesteryear!

You can adjust tone and sharpness for each film simulation. Maybe try adding a notch of sharpness on the X-H2S. Also, where’s the Eterna test? In my experience, every Fuji has its own slightly tweaked version of Eterna and that’s where you can really see the difference between them.

I love the camera and I’m not sure why he’s struggling with it so much, but I didn’t notice a real difference between the two before selling my X-T4. However, I set all the settings how I wanted them individually. I didn’t just copy the X-T4 settings, I would actually adjust the settings based on the looks I liked.

I respect your decision to stay with the XT4. I'm so hard headed that I'd probably hang on to the XH2s just because of the expense...

@Fedorevsky

Жыл бұрын

Seems like an odd choice considering he usually always shoots handheld and complains about the wobbly jello effect on all his cameras. The XH2s has superfast readout and therefore next to none of that. He should love the XH2s. It's what he's always wanted and asked for.

I think the main "advantage" of the XH2S for certain people is the S part, or speed. Super fast bursts, low rolling shutter, etc. Versus the XT4, the dynamic range, slightly higher specs, better AF and more formats is nice, but the main selling point for this camera specifically is the stacked sensor and speed that comes with it. I'm guessing if you want a truly upgraded version of the XT4 and X Trans sensor 4, you'll want the XH2 (with next green X Trans 5 sensor) or XT5 (if that's even a thing). I have a feeling they'll bust out the cripple hammer for the XH2 though, especially if rumors are correct that it's going to be priced @ $2k. Maybe say goodbye to 240p? F-log 2?

How do they compair to the Samsung S21 ultra with intel 888..standard in usa & Canada..if you must have a 1kg iron divise the S5 under $1000 but max 180p 4k and more than 1kg might be almost S21 image and ios level

I was here to decide to go for XH2s after my XT4. Now as i can see so far there is no need to move around to spend more money for less sharp images in photography. Autofocus and video specs didn't impress me at all. Thanks for sharing this video and saving my money back. I like your sense of humor while you are touching pro points in your comparements. 🎶☕👍

If you’re using different lenses, why would you expect an identical image? Different lenses render colour differently.

Thanks for the video. I have the X-T4 and the performance seems even better in some cases on the X-T4. Why should i give my $$ to get the XH2S... just for the new name :-) ?

I think hardly anyone would be able to tell the difference unless they knew you were showing two different cameras and lens combinations. Just seeing one of them on the screen I don't think hardly anyone would know.

so its all about the zeiss/lens? who could have imagined that^^. xt4 is a wobblemachine ohne blurred background. btw have you ever noticed that a video seems to be sharp af and as soon as you hit the pause button it looks like someone put a pshop gauss filter on it?

I just keep seeing the XT4 mugging the XH2s, which is bad for new buyers but it does make the former camera get its place in the APS-C hall of fame of camera bodies along with the K3-II

if there's one way to improve the sony a7siii footage, check out joel famularo phantom lut, it literally makes sony footage to have great colours. it emulates the alexa and helps to fix the yucky sony green tint which is very hard to fix if you're not experience colourist.

It's clear to me that Fuji had a meeting when they decided to make the XH2s. If only we had footage of said meeting.

I know they are old an no one cares, but I would love an EOSR VS R6 video. I’ve decided to sell one of mine and I can’t decide which one to keep. I’m honestly leaning towards keeping the EOSR. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷‍♂️

4:00 -- well, seems less warpy than the XT4, but sheesh -- even with digital stabilization on, the impact of your careful footsteps "rattles" the image. I hate to say it, but my Panny G85 with my 12-60mm kit lens at 12mm is noticeably smoother with just the dual-IS....

At least you have green grass in Canada. In the UK we have a sickly yellow grass right now.

already told you... GH6 is the way to go, better AF than that Fuji probably, Dynamic Range is very good with the Full Vlog, and you just know that the IBIS is just on a whole new level.

8:55 Not the original commenter, but, honestly, yes, this skin tone looks nice

My comment on one of your recent reviews prompted a reply from someone saying to buy the X-T4 and spend the saving on glass… imagine what piece of Lalique you could get if you sell the X-H2s..? … or you could just wait for the next few firmware updates..?

I come from xt3 to xh2s, and I'm still disappointed. I think that the new generation of sensor could be difficult to develop, with the xt4 ​​they already had experience in the hardware. I have faith they can update the xh2s and improve everything promised, I have faith--- it's the only thing I have left, or sell.

nice

I preferred the XT4

It makes you wonder how many youtube channels are just in it for the selling stuff. This vid makes me want to do a similar one for my mavic 3 drone: for stills It's laughably shite compared to 7-year-old P4. I still shoot with my 9-year-old d800, and I'm seriously considering dropping $9K(aus) on a z9 with worse dynamic range. So thanks for your honest vid, man. It's giving me a reality check. One thing that might make you feel better is trying to stabilise the footage. I found that with my GH5: the fast readout meant you could chuck warp stabiliser at the shittest of shots (as long as shot at high shutter speed) and they'd work, whereas my g85 would warp like a warpy thing.

XH2S can record at All-Intra 720mbps 4:2:2 4K60 XT4 can only do the inferior LongGOP 200mbps 4:2:0 I hope you can tell us the settings used on both cameras. Not just the resolution. I didn’t even mention ProRes recording in the XH2S yet.

Nothing can beat the XT4. Nothing. Not even Fuji! And to hell with full frame Sony, cos Fuji has better colors :)

The IBIS in the X-H2S is so bad compared to the X-T4, it isn't funny. I noticed it even in the intro. What did Fuji improve, other than their own bottom line?

Why don't you return it? If Fujifilm has really failed with AF tracking and the IQ is less than the previous generation, the X-Series may be tough to sell in the future, especially at these prices, as the market is very demanding now. Hopefully they can improve things with the X-H2, as they would be great cameras if they had AF like Canon/Sony

I actually preferred the x-h2s in most shots... Which is annoying because I've kind of been shopping for an x-t4.

It makes it look higher contrast, but muddiness isn't the solution to that. Davinci balances green because those are video standards. The Fuji is aiming for photography standards.
