Fujifilm X-H2S | In-Depth Review & Test Footage

wow well done with the video, you covered all topics properly. I was really frustrated regarding low light and dynamic range performance in different modes you covered it properly and in depth, well done!

SO much helpful information in this review that wasn't presented anywhere else. Fantastic work here, thank you!

I was wondering how this camera works with the atomos ninja v +, in the 6k mode do you get a full 6k hdmi output. I’m currently using a ninja v and it significantly looses resolution, I just want to use it as an external monitor and record internally but it’s almost unusable trying to manually focus with the low res output in the 6k mode. I would consider upgrading my ninja v if this camera paired better with the v+. I also wish Fuji could update the software to support the external recording better.

so 2500 for an aps-c? is it really?

Great review if you don`t actually want to use your camera for stills photography. unless you count the last minute or so where it was actually mentioned.

Just imagine, a full cinema camera raw shooting medium format sensor with cine lenses by fuji with their color science 😭🔥🎥

Blackmagic needs this sensor in their next pocket 6k

Nice review, but sometimes the accent, the high speed of speech, and losing air/voice volume at the end of a phrase, makes it heard to hear and easy to not hear properly.

This is the best review iv'e seen so far, which giving a better explanation and great examples of images and videos. Worth to watch and not a waste of time.

Great review. One of the few worth the time. Congratulations!

Fuji will destroy the world when they improve the IBIS, battery and UI+UX. I hope they focus on that and don't try to beat the noise and sensor size from Sony.. what Fuji's offering is already good (if you know how to set your exposure) and fixing these flaws will make them a huge deal.

I’ll say this right here and I’m not kidding when I say this. In 14bit readout the camera turns into something absolutely incredible. I can’t describe it… it just looks like an image from a much much more expensive camera.

The XH 1 was a lovely camera ( yes I have owned one) - current happy XT 4 owner - I suspect for many include me the massive spec of ever newer cameras is mind bending and less ‘ real users’ actually need the higher spec. Me ? - fancy an X100 or one of Fujis MF cameras 😎

Love this camera, next I'm going get the Lumix S5 IIx in may.

Best review so far for my camera. Thanks a lot.

If Panasonic has truly mastered the unlimited recording in their bodies, why does this camera overheat, even with the fan? Just put the fan inside the body like the GH6.

Whats the proper way to convert flog2 in Resolve? End of the pipeline i add a CST and for Input Color Space i put REC2020 and for Input gamma there is only a flog option and no flog2 option yet. any insight on proper conversations?

Format is easy. Hold the trash can down then hold the bottom lever on the central dial, and the Format options will pop up.

I’m surprised people keep mentioning firmware improvements for this camera. I own and enjoy it very much, but I believe Fuji has gone on record saying that firmware improvements that aren’t bug fixes are no longer part of their business practice.

I dont think HDR is entirely done before AD conversion. Why do I think that? Because I was using an old version of Vegas pro when I bought it. I had to upgrade, because the software was able to preview the DR 100% footage, but it wasn't able to do it with DR 200% and DR 400%. If it's all done before the conversion and the codec plus resolution is the same, there is no reason this should happen. I think they're doing something after the conversion. Try Vegas Pro 13 and upload all 3 DR options and you'll se the difference. If someone can explain that and tell me if I'm missing something?

Does the 12bit raw video still down sample from the 14 bit readout?

For the format - press & hold trash icon & simultaneously down button on dpad.
Things you learn & realise how epic fuji is(ofc for photo guys & most amature videographers as well especially now).
they thought of everything in their system unlike most camera brands.

A direct comparison between XH2S and FX30 for video would be nice. I can understand why you may not want to make such a video.

I really really wish Fujifilm ads a False Colour

Amazing information as always.

Just wondering how lag was while on an external monitor through hdmi port?

Fuji X-H2s for me is natural succesor of X-T4,improved AF,improved codecs,better IBIS and great sensor readout and amazing dynamic range in FLOG2, filming with X-H2S is pure fun.

Love to see a GH6 vs XH2s showdown

The price “point”? You mean the price?

Best X-H2S review yet.

Hoenstly it's a great camera but needs a better menu UI and some software features to make the "mini-cinema" camera they want this to be. Really wish Fuji would just make little cinema camera like a mix between the Komodo and FX6.

And even though Fuji has never had shutter angle… for X-T cameras at least had 1/48 and 1/120 shutter speeds for 24p and 60p. Those are gone now for some reason. They have the traditional 1/50 and 1/125. Not sure why this is. If they don’t implement shutter angle, I hope they bring the 180° equivalents back.

Something that doesn’t get enough attention is the battery grips for Fuji actually let you run three batteries total. Two in the extended and one in the original spot. I really wish Canon and Sony would get on board with this.

Hopefully Fujifilm watches you guys

I’m filming with this camera in LA now and I’m super excited to share the results. Thanks for the informative and in depth review.

Xh2s vs Lumix s5, big doubt

Been impatiently waiting for this one.

Very informative and entertaining video! Please can I ask what camera you used for the talking head pieces? It looks great.

why in the lowlight test is really noisy? i have the xh2s and it has no any color noise at all :/

Viltrox make Nd adapters both for Fuji and Sony, the quality is so so as mine seems to have corroded or something, after very little use

Not even close to be the best hybrid camera at the level of Nikon Z9, Sony A1, or Canon R3.

Fuji should take the xh2s, put it in a box and call it a cinema camera

i was debating between the bmpcc 6k pro and the xh2s and i opted for the 6k pro because of the braw and built in nd, but i think id be happy with the xh2s, the colors are amazing, the image of really clear and the ibis would possibly make up for the lack of nd filters. im having slight buyers remorse but i think i made the right choice for me

Beautiful looking footage, Jake.

Dynamic range looks amazing 👍👍

It does have histogram along with the zebras, and other cameras in its price range also doesn’t have waveforms or false color right? Or am I missing others?

YES, BEST HYBRID CAMERA

Excelent video !!! right know i think the battle is sony fx30 vs fuji xh2s,

Thank you!!!
