Any difference in audio quality or how you rig for audio with each. Cheers.

    @RawAutos Před rokem +5

    I was killing myself jumping between the two when making my purchase. I have a GH5, BMPCC4K, X-T3, and X-T4. I had the X-T2 and X-H1. I also had a G7, G85, and GH4. So I have a shit ton of lenses for each. But I wanted to try and minimize my gear. I decided that which ever one I went with , the GH6 or X-H2S, I was going to sell my other platform.
    In the end I chose the Fuji since I do about 60% photography, and for plenty of my photography I need good eye autofocus. I was using an X-T3 and X-T4 combo for some shoots, and then one of those for other shoots where I only needed one camera.
    This one was tough, because I LOVE my GH5 and really wanted the GH6. But as a photo tool, it made me look elsewhere.
    So far I’m loving the X-H2S, but I do miss some of the features that are on the GH5 and GH6.

    A great video Jordan! I appreciate all the work you put into it. While the GH6 has more video assist tools, I shoot with an external monitor which gives me all I need: false colours, LUT importing, peaking, etc. I always tend to go with sensor size, and I love the Fuji colour profiles and F-LOG. When I am ready to upgrade it will be the XH-2S. The Eterna LUT applied to F-LOG2 looks awesome, and more natural to my eyes. Cheers from British Columbia!

  • @aryaboustani6359
    @aryaboustani6359 Před rokem +3

    Thanks so much Jordan. You did a great job overall, very fair, and good points of comparison for pluses and minuses. One area that could possibly make it more clear for the buyers to choose is which camera's weaker points can be compensated based on the strategies of the shoot. For instant a short coming in the area of auto focus, low light performance, less noise in the image, overall image quality, or the film look: can it be compensated by additional equipment? How about if IBS is wonky? would adding gimbal take care of that weakness? How about battery life, is there external power source, battery grip, etc. take care of that weakness? .... etc. I think videographers know that at some point they need to buy additional accessories, faster lenses, etc. as long as the body is worthy to spend money on those accessories to make it a better package, but they will regret if they know no matter how much money they spend in additional equipment, there are some limitations on that body that cannot be compensated. Based on this, which one of these cameras have more potentials?

    Thanks for doing this. Going forward, do you think you could do more video-centric reviews of hybrid cameras? I understand that you and Chris are a team and so wouldn't mind having separate videos for photo and video capabilities, especially of the models with which you've had more experience in handling than just the initial product launch review. Things like interbrand lens usage/performance looks good on paper on m4/3, but in practice Olympus and Panasonic lenses are not as co-operative on each others bodies - stuff that marketing info does not advertise when showcasing a product, but an avid user like yourself would pickup on when working with the camera.

    Both are fantastic cameras, personally I went for the GH6 mainly because of its video tools and lenses (obviously IQ is way better than before) sure the Fuji has more DR and IQ due to the stacked bigger APSC sensor than the M4/3 non stacked sensor on the GH6 but keep in mind that both cameras deal outstanding results if you know what you’re doing with them.
    I’ve gotten fantastic results with a GX85 that has 16mp than others with FF cameras (not bragging or anything like that), so my advice to everyone considering either one is:
    don’t let the “specs” of a camera buy you off, every camera from this “new gen” is fantastic and obviously you’re going to have a good result, just pick the one that makes you happier and comfortable and that’s it, also don’t let negative comments of people who probably haven’t even seen this cameras in person, let alone test them out in multiple escenarios, fool you, they probably don’t know better, so good luck and enjoy !

    Jordan actually pointed out the same flaws of the XH2S as Kasey did but in less hyperbolic manner. Video AF is good in most parts but can be terrible in others. Slow-mo is just not great. Stabilization can be jerky at times. Overall, it's still the best hybrid camera on the market but if you're purely interested in video there might be a better option depending on your needs.

    Both cameras are technical masterpieces. I have 0 complaints about the XH2S as a video camera since I have it rigged up but Fuji made some questionable decisions in the interface when it comes to photo shooting.
    The fact that you can’t map iso to the command dials like you could with the XT4 is baffling. You have to press the iso button then either use the rear command dial to navigate the menu or use the joystick/d-pad to choose iso. That makes using the camera slow and cumbersome.
    I wanna map the iso button to do something useful and control iso directly in a command dial but Fuji decided that my $2500 APSC camera is incapable of doing that. 😂

      It baffles me that Fuji is like: "This dial currently does absolutely nothing in this mode and we DON'T want to let the user configure it do do somehing in this camera that's made for fast handling and user preference for max speed".
      I also wish they could raise the half-press fps during PreShot ES to way more than 10, as it's what often counts more than framerate after full press.

      I understand your concern but in practice I do not see the concern.
      I have the xt4 ​​and xh2s, I do weddings almost every weekend and never what you are talking about has made me waste time or even annoyed.
      Then I don't know if I understood what you are saying, but to change the iso, you have to press the iso button, then directly change the iso with the rear wheel...I find it more intuitive because the important settings are done just with the right hand and with 2 fingers (iso, aperture, shutter speed, WB, etc…) whereas with the xt4 you have to use the left hand to change the iso, using 2 fingers to turn the wheel...I always liked what fuji offered with the xt cams, but on my side since then I much prefer how the xh2s works…
      I don't want to defend the xh2s but honestly it's the most intuitive fuji camera I've used. Even holding it is a treat, I don't even use a cage ...90% handheld with xh2s and 10% gimbal with xt4. Before it was like 60% gimbal, and xt4 with cage or battery grip to hold it well

  • @yuidfbse

    Awesome video, thank you! By the time the X-T5 is out with most (if not just about all) of all of the X-H2S' features in a smaller, lighter and cheaper package and plus with improvements and fixes, that will be the better camera. And if some time later an X-S10II/X-S20 comes out with again most of the X-T5's features and added improvements, even lighter and again cheaper, that will be for me the camera to get. So I'll revisit all this a year or two from now. I feel the X-H2S is in many ways an overpriced beta testing camera for Fujifilm and is several firmware updates away from the price it commands and the true potential it aims for. And all this without even mentioning the general X-mount issue of subpar lens ecosystem compared to the likes of others like Sony for example, which is a problem that will either way have a very difficult resolution any time soon. Either way the X-H2S is no doubts a great camera and proves that Fujifilm knows very well what they are doing.. but this comes at a cost that already enters competing FF hardware, that needs maturing, to be squeezed in size and shrunk in price and get thoroughly polished out.

    • @matthewsmith9521
      @matthewsmith9521 Před rokem +2

      If the rumors are true, the X-T5 won’t be getting the same sensor as the X-H2S (it will instead get the non-stacked 40MP sensor from the upcoming X-H2). Which does raise the question of what other Fuji cameras will actually be getting this sensor. X-S10 successor sounds plausible (since it is like a little brother to the X-H2S in some ways), but I’m guessing they won’t release it for a couple of years in order to avoid cannibalizing sales.

A good hybrid is what I wanted, I shoot video with it for work, but as a hobby I shoot photos and the Fuji is a good allrounder.

    The Fuji's video is uncomfortably sharp. But overall I loved this review! Less of 'here is what you should buy' and more 'here is what each is good at' and I can decide based on what's important to me.

      "Uncomfortably"? It's like saying that the Ferrari is uncomfortably fast. Dude, you can always fit a soft focus lens if you don't like Gaussian blur in post. Just sayin'. The images on this review are clearly better from the X-H2s. Just my personal opinion.

    • @CianMcsweeney
      @CianMcsweeney Před rokem +1

      throw a diffusion filter like the tiffen glimmerglass on there, or use a slightly softer lens and that completely fixes that. If anything it being super sharp by default just gives you greater flexibility to get the look you want

    Panasonic has the XLR-1 adapter, but now Tascam has made XLR adapters for Nikon, Fujifilm, and Canon. I believe the Nikon one really works for all cameras that only have traditional analog 3.5mm inputs. So, that's a great equalizer for audio.

    • @mipmipmipmipmip

      @VoicesofMusic Před rokem

      I know this is not a popular point of view, but the XLR doesn't really matter as much as the internal, uninsulated ribbons that carry the sound. Any properly designed connector will work fine, and in a stress environment you would want a locking connector anyway. The Lumix cameras have decently wide traces, haven't opened up a Fuji.

    I don’t understand why Fuji still hasn’t added general object tracking for video. They already have it for stills, so it doesn’t seem like it would be a major undertaking to add it for video too. Jarring that my little Canon and Sony compacts have it, but not the purpose-built Fuji video camera. Fingers crossed that they’ll add it in a firmware update at some point; not sure how likely that is though.
    The 240p quality is also kind of baffling. Nasty artifacts that seem to be independent of ISO and compression setting. Not yet convinced there isn’t a bug lurking there somewhere (especially given that the X-T4 looked better). Unless it’s a consequence of the new sensor design…?

    If you need the fan, the XH2S is a $2700 APSC camera. It also doesn't have usb-c to SSD recording and no red frame recording (which I love). Also black magic raw could be added in a future firmware update. It really boils down to what features video shooters need the most and what lenses they currently own. Both are great.

    Great comparison. For me I like the look of the GH6 video more but the Fuji looks sharper to me which I like. I would have liked to see more and longer clips that show the different features you mentioned rather than a just quick shot. This would be more helpful for comparisons. 10:28 Sure the X-H2S battery lasts a lot longer than the Panasonic internal battery, but what you didn't mention and should have, is that you can use USB-C batteries with the GH6 and If you do that you could potentially use it for as long as you need to and not run out of battery life.
    Also if you are not shooting in the full 5.7 or 5.8K or external RAW on the GH6, you can use the Pixel to Pixel mode for a longer crop if you need it which can be useful.

    I love Fuji but I would’ve gave Panasonic the win on 4K120 you’re using you’re whole sensors and yes the crop factor for it basically levels the playing field in this category. my thinking is if you’re using mft then you’re already compensating for you’re lens range. So you’re use to your crop already but the Fuji crops in o top of the apsc crop so you’re having to compensate twice.
    Also the file size is probably smaller Olin the gh5 I’d imagine.
    I’m a fuji fanboy but I think Panasonic should win that.
    I feel we need to be objective and critical with these manufacturers. They need to gauge what we need in these products.
