@@jrperezphotography I only hear good thing about the XF150-600. I’m curious about your decision as far as the Tamron lenses, when you say construction (or built quality) are you considering long term performance and/or durability?
@@jrperezphotography Got it, when I go for the Sony A7-IV I'll ask you about native lenses. I'm not replacing Fuji, but I do want a second system. As always, thank you for the prompt reply.
Nice shots Jorge, Flamingo Gardens is only about 20 minutes from my house, I was there a couple of months ago and as soon as I got into the parking lot and saw four school buses I knew it was not going to be a quiet day. So far I’m getting good results with 70-300 and the 1.4 TC on the X-T4, I have to go back to the Gardens with this setup, on my last trip I was using the 100-400. What do you think about the X-H2, any intentions of trying it out?
@@jrperezphotography You are right about the size and weight advantage argument being out the window, they are about the same as the full frame cameras, there is still an advantage when it comes to lenses, they are smaller, lighter and cheaper in some cases. Of course I’m looking at this from an amateur/hobbyist perspective, not a professional photographer. So for now, I’ll wait to see what the X-T5 brings to the table, but if the focusing speed and accuracy isn't considerably better than my X-T4 I’ll consider switching to Sony, even if the lenses are more expensive.
@@jrperezphotography Everything you’re saying makes sense and doesn’t make me very happy. I’m considering selling one of my X-T4’s and getting a Sony A7-IV, as far as lenses you’re right, someone that I know has that Sony with a Tamron 28-75 and he tells me that the lens is as sharp (or better) than the Sony equivalent.
@@jrperezphotography Hello Jorge, I was just looking for Fuji “stuff” on you-tube and I found a channel by Mike Riley, I did see that you made a comment on one of the videos some time ago (before you got the camera). He has nothing but good things to say about the X-H2S (in general), is it possible that you got a bad copy? It might be worth talking to Fuji’s technical support, maybe have it checked or even replaced.
@@jrperezphotography He’s from Canada. I really didn’t pay much attention to the photos that he shot. In one of the videos he claims that the X-H2-S is as good or better than Canon and Sony. I still believe that if you’re having focusing issues you should have technical support take a look at it.
@@jrperezphotography The only reason I mentioned “issue” is because you have an “issue” with the size weight and button placement of the camera and because you were regretting the purchase of it and you were going to return it but you couldn’t because of the UPC label. But as you say, keep shooting with it, hopefully things will work out for you.
Hola Jorge, how was your trip (if you’re back in Florida) to the western states with the Sony and Tamron gear.
