What do you think about the X-T4 compared to the X-H2S?

Using them side by side, I don't miss the dials at all, as it outperforms the X T4 in every way. No more fiddling around with the unreliable und underperforming AF C. Much better grip, viewfinder ES, object and face recognition, bigger buffer, bursts without limits ... easier to reconfigure. For the photos showed in the video, even a X T2 isn't a bad choice. No improvements for the X T4 since release, so it's an investment in an two years old camera.

Cool video! Loved the first two shots of the bikers going up through 3 way stop, second one feels especially dynamic!

You make some good point, and as a person with no interest in video I'm not in a hurry to replace X-T4..

Reason 1 and 2 are the main reasons for me to get the HS-2 mainly because I do use the feature and upgrades. The style matches my gfx100s and for aesthetics im going for the xe4/100v more than the xt4. But like you mentioned depends on the person and needs and I agree. If ots stills only, I see why the XH2 its not as appealing as for people that do video though.

Agreed. It is definitely geared towards video users. Not a bad thing, just not the style I want to go for. Thank you for watching and sharing your opinion!

Personally I prefer the PSAM Dial as I am used to shooting with a DSLR for many years (mainly Nikon). That is exactly why I bought the brilliant little Fujifilm XS-10-it is a mini powerhouse with some of the XT-4 goodness. The XT-4 is still a great camera and you could argue that Canon has only just about caught up with the release of the R7. As a wildlife photographer/videographer the X-H2S is very appealing because it has 4K 120fps video and 40fps burst (stills) plus the new subject detection AF but it is just too expensive for me right now. And that new XF 150-600mm lens is one that I desire too!

Thank you for watching and welcome to the Fuji system!

I buy Fujifilm camera mainly because of color science, film simulations and overall small and light factor. Before Fujifilm I was shooting Canon DSLR for over 10 years, so for me PASM dial is natural and logical way to control camera. I get it, that this retro controls may be fancy to use, but they are also clumsy. For example, You need to use both hands to control aperture ring, or shutter ring in X-T4. In camera with PASM dial, you can adjust those settings by one hand. Then, shutter dial has only full 1EV steps, if You need more precise control of shutter speed, you are force to use rear control dial anyway. And at the end.. Let's say that I'm trying to take photo of my dog while running (I'm using X-S10 + XF 33/1.4), and I've like 1/10 shots in focus :) So yeah, I choose X-H2s over X-T4 all day long. You are to biased towards Fujifilm retro controls scheme ;)

The point. That it appears everyone in missing is that Fuji need to get new camera buyers. The PASM dial is something that everyone recognises (apart from the dinosaurs) and therefore these people can be converted. As a7D Mk2 user, I will buy the X-H2S but would never consider the XT-4, even look at it. So if you want Fuji to survive and succeed, you need to get with the program.

xh2s is more video focused hybrid camera. Esp better autofocus is the main reason that i’m interested in xh2s. For taking photos xt4 is more than enough even xe4 with good lenses is a good choice imo.

I like the look of my X-T4 (and X-T1 that I still have), but I *never* use the ISO and the shutter speed dial, why? Because Auto ISO always selects the lowest possible ISO speed and shutter speed for the shutter minimum I have set. Nobody could set it to minimum all the time. In modern time it is basically a useless anachronism. Only thing I generally manually set is aperture. In rare cases (fast movement) I set the minimum shutter speed to 1/500s or so, but even then I am on Auto ISO.

You have made a compelling argument. I will not purchase a Fuji XH2S. Who doesn’t want a more performant body? I want better autofocus. I want better IBIS. I will not spend $2.5k for a new body. My needs don’t demand this performance. As you argue, the difference between an XT4 and XH2S would be better spent on glass. Bodies come. Bodies go. Glass is forever. I love the retro style. I love having nobs and dials. I am not a PASM fan. One reason I use Fuji. None the less, I just purchased an XS10 used. I want the IBIS and the video capability. I can compromise. I will not compromise with the XH2S. Will I purchase one in a few years when it has depreciated? Who knows? Other than going to work, I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow. I hope the BSS will filter down to smaller and cheaper bodies. I have what I want and need. Sometimes good enough is good enough. Mask On Nurse Marty

I just edited some reception photos. 290 photos with the XT4, 140 deliverable. I used the 18 and 33. I shot in Av 99% of the time with the XT4 so the dials don’t mean much to me just love looking for it. I kind of have to call out everyone for the “retro experience” claim of the XT4… these people sing praise for the LM WR lenses. Anyone genuine to the retro experience should be embracing the older lenses.

Every camera has its pros and cons. In the end, you need to first decide what you want to do with a camera before buying. As an amateur, the price of the XH-2S is way out of my budget. I'm an XT3 user. I bought it a little over a year ago barely used, basically new still in the original box with the 18-55 and other extras for far less than the cost of many bodies alone. Since I'm not shooting video, the XT-3 is plenty of camera for me. And, the images are really nice. I'm sure the new bodies have their place and if you're a pro who can afford them, then go for it.

As you have said there are many parameters (mainly affecting video) that make XH2s way superior. And I do agree that the xt4 is enough for most users... But if you take productivity as a factor, and this is your tool to make money, I do think the design of the XH2s is superior, since is optimized for just that... I think the dials of the xt4, even if cool and bringing nostalgia are not optimized for productivity. Once you have experience with photography and aperture, iso, shutter speed are clear... is way better to twick them using only one small wheel... click adjust, click adjust... makes it obviously more quick and easy to handle... Otherwise you have to go to each wheel of each parameter and adjust each setting independently... many times even taking the eye out of the viewfinder. Not optimal... With the XH2s you make it quickly and you do not need to think much about it. The wheel to change from custom configurations is great, since you can create a base for each scenario you photograph at... Studio, street, nature, B&W, portrait, product... At the end you become more Productive, and that is money...

this is correct, people SHOULD NOT GET THE XH2s
