IBIS here warps not only the corners, but the space-time continuum itself

I come to this channel to learn what's wrong with all the nice things in life

The idea that "the button should change the setting, not just open the menu" is so obvious to the point of being painful - I would love to be able to just press a button to cycle through focus modes . There's a similarly stupid behaviour on the XS10, where if you use the blank dial for ISO, the first spin of the ring 'opens the menu' before then allowing the ISO to be changed rather than just changing the ISO.

The warppiest vlog ever!

Another annoying thing is you cannot turn off IBIS and keep lens stabilisation on. Lens only stabilization is not an option. Also, the Boost IS mode itself comes with in menu warning that is only for situations where camera is static and not panning. So for video, Boost IS will not work great, I cannot turn off camera IBIS and keep lens IS. Annoyance.

I had the XT4. I have the X-H2S. You are pretty accurate on all accounts. The autofocus for eyes/people is vastly improved. It's not as good as Sony, but it's oh so close. I have a Sony A74 which has crazy amazing autofocus, and I have to say the X-HS2 is very very close. It's simply not an issue anymore on that front. I just rented the Fuji 75-300 to film some birds at 4K 120. The 1.29X crop still gives you great looking detail and color, and gets you that much closer. It looks great. The bird autofocus is not as good as on the A74, but frankly its no where near perfect on the Sony, which along with the Canon likely do Bird Autofocus better than others. I usually simply have the Fuji do its Autofocus thing, and then manually adjust focus. No need touch the MF buttons, as the Fuji has a Manual Assist setting I leave on by default. The THING that drives me crazy with the Fuji is the damn exposure/corrections adjustment you see whenever you zoom in and out in video. It's on EVERY zoom lens. Even the new fantastic Tamron 17-70 lens. I have heard its not exposure correcting that is the issue, but that the camera is applying lens correcting as you zoom in and out. Apparently Fuji hasn't figured out how to do this like every other camera out there has. The IBIS is better than the XT4. Its not nearly as jerky, but it does happen here and there, but less often, and much less intensely. It also does much better at not having as much wobble. Its still there with a wide lens like the 13mm Viltrox, but it's much improved. I hope that helps.

Warp factor 10. 😆

This warping stuff is just proof that we can't have nice things any more! Mom was so right, how could I have known she was a mirrorless camera expert all along?

I you choose "ALL" for the AF Mode setting, then you can just use your command dial to increase the size of the box and it will keep going and cycle through each mode. What I keep realizing as you rifle through cameras is that none of these companies really give serious consideration to vlogging for the video functionality. They're all trying to make Hollywood films. So, my question is: Which little action camera is going to come along and be the panacea? Because, vlogging is about walking around and keeping it small is the key to me.... Have a great weekend!

7:15 - press ISO button. No need to hold. Then use d-pad, joystick OR command dial to select ISO or Auto ISO.. then just press shutter release and be on your merry way.

Thank you very much for this useful video. About One push AF to shoot video with the Xt4, if you put it to AF-S, Movie AF Mode to Area and Touch screen mode to AF, you can use back-button focus and/or touch focus while recording. It only works while recording, so to test it first press record.

Winner for vlogging = go pro 10

The 8-16mm is a cool lens. Good god though, it's REALLY expensive. I think an upgrade from an XT4 to that XH2 ain't worth it. Just not enough improvements.

"Broken finger... just to change a fucking white balance" Thank you for keeping us safe 😭😭😭

That was a good joke @ 4:35. "Oh man if you had a rabbit, I would feed it non-rabbit food. And you'd be getting back [home] to some weird poo on your carpet - and you'd deserve it, you would deserve it!". Oh man, if you worked for the mafia as a stand over guy, I bet the threats would be hilarious!

Not sure if this is a feature XH2s newly introduced to the XH2s or if it existed prior, but you can set it to AF+MF mode in the menu, which will continuously track in video then you can turn the focus ring if you want to manually focus, then to go back to autofocus you just hit the button you’ve assigned as AF On. So technically you can leave the focus mode as continuous AF and assign the focus mode selector button to something else.

6:50 that weird guy is out the front of my house talking to himself again 😂

Shooting at a park the bird detect and eye detect worked fine for me. Also, Viltrox 13mm f1.4 is a damn good lens.

The IBIS wobble is brutal lol

B&H Photo had an X-H2S Open box for 10% off -- immediately available. I pounced. It is arriving on Friday.

2:30 FYI you can do that on fujifilm cameras too.. i do that when on manual on my xt30. hust not while recording

Great video as always. The Fuji in/out focus in video is always a distracting deterrent to me. X-H2S, Colors are amazing, removing the dial buttons removed one of my fav Fuj erg features, no touch menu was also a missed opportunity. By the time all these camera companies get it fully dialed in Apple will probably release iCam and blow away the industry... and they'll come free with an iCar purchase.

I start to think that Fuji face/eye detection doesn't really like to define your face/eye as face/eye. Works pretty well for me in similar situations like yours. No double meaning behind this but I genuinely think Fuji autofocus may favor an Asian face more LOL.

I swear, this video better not say a word about that PASM dial!!!

5:40 I love the audio from you mic! It sounds like you are inside your studio talking. TL;DW - lots of troubling issues or too little too late. Absent a radical new cell phone camera like sensor I'm not sure APC-C & lens eco sys makes sense anymore (and not because you "NEED" FF).

08:43 "I give you credit when you're lacking for some reason." 🤣 10:40 "I almost died. " 🤣

The Lady at 6:50 so worried about you filming near her house, that she comes out IN A ROBE.... LOL Great content as always. Landing those punchlines like a 747 Kasey!

For MF on X-H2S I set AFL on AEL , but it’s should be one button MF like Sony ,also the AF-mode and iso button are same issues

That part about the Auto/manual focus switch

That’s the warpiest lens yet. 1.8 20mm from Sony looks best to my eye.

7:38 - yes, location of third button is weird. I find if I pull my hand back from the grip it’s easy.. I also have a thumb that works well.

The warping of the background is insane.

You really need to test Panasonic 9mm f1.7 with the OM System OM-1. 9mm prime would fit your definition of perfect Vlogging lens and the OM-1 is the best Micro Four Thirds camera for Vlogging. The problem with Fuji Xtrans sensor is, since the filter pattern is not uniform spacing you can not do oversampled video or even 4:2:2 easily, the only native resolution is 4:2:0 without interpolation missing color (red and blue) pixels.

The three button placement was brilliant 🤣😂💩😂

I just wanted to say that I have no inclination to buy a camera, nor even an interest in photography. Yet I watch every video because I completely get the subtle comedy. You should try stand-up or something. On another note, please do some more general tips videos about video making. I particularly loved that video about 6 things not to do.

I wonder what people think when they see you running in slow motion across the street…

This lens is so warpy that i felt like all of this was a fever dream

Fuji XT-4 warps so much the autofocus on S5 managed to get good in the time the sensor on the XT-4 gets to the position it needs to be.

It was wavy like Pacific around Hawaii.

Bravo you have found 9 issues in a perfectish camera

Oh my God video footage looks Very bad. My mobile phone is much better for video production. Watching this wobbly video make me dizzy.

When are you going to try the nikon Z9

The warping is so bad throughout this video it could make one sea sick, it's unwatchable (yet I obviously did so ignore that please). You generally say watch for warping in the corners but I see the entire background warping and shaking - what's causing this in the camera settings? Is it some weird artifact of trying to keep you, the subject, stable within the borders of the frame?

There is the option that you can be in afc and switch to manual when you use focus ring. Its super easy and fast. You dont need to change focus in menu.

That would be great to see you with the Olympus 300mm prime. Espen Helland has used it for a lot of beautiful wildlife footage - I hope it serves you just as well!

You need to try the GH6. Much more usable than all these other cameras. You will get the glory of the Cinema out of one soon enough, I believe

And also, could you pls explain coz I tried to do back button focus on XH2S and then manually adjust the focus in video mode and I could see the focus peeking change and also the focus distance was changing. Or did you mean something else?

Notice how people pretend you aren't there in hopes you will go away .

warping at the corners, is the lens too wide?

Honestly, I just wanna see flog2 birdies. Dynamic range of cinema camera. And that’s what we need on the CC network.

So what I've learned from this video is that my Olympus EM1 has far better ergonomics. Can't assign iso to a dial? Menu dive to change a AF box size?

After watching this video I assume there was earthquake for 14.25 minutes in Canada hope y’all are doing fine now.

I have a Sony a1 and 600 GM for bird photography and since 3 weeks a XH2s.My conclusion so far is they the Sony is better customisable for sure.But the AF performance of the Fuji is at least at same level as the Sony if not better while picking swifts out of the sky at far distance! The AF box on the Fuji can be set much smaller than on the sony: useful for macro and very critical AF.The Fuji also has way better IBIS than the Sony cameras!There is no such thing as a perfect camera , both have their pros and cons.

Hey king you dropped your RuneScape party hat 👑

I’m waiting for the X-T5 due to the button and dial situation on the X-H2. I love Fuji… Fuji, Fuji, Fuji!!!

Busted out laughing at 4:15 and 7:00 seeing those dudes check Kas' mental breakdown on the pavement. Good skits

'My brain can't handle things!'...... True!

You can switch from single point, zone, area with the dial if you select the AF setting to All. In photo mode at least, I assume it works in video, that would be pretty lame if it didn't work in video. . On XT4 Also my rear command dial is iso. Not sure what you mean :s You need to have the dedicated iso dial set to C. Not sure about H2s Don't think I want the H2s. I assume one day there will be an XT5, and I'll want that. I'm willing to hold out. Even with the current flaws.

I have been waiting for more camera conspiracies reviews on the XH2 before I pounced. Glad I did.

So when your xh2s coming Kasey ?

dude what happen with IBIS?

Outside of bedroom follies, nothing beats a slo-mo street crossing.

Wait, they took off the focus mode dial? I use that all the time as an AF-L.

I bought Sony a7iv over the Fuji x-T4. I bent the pins and sent the Sony in for repair. While waiting on the repair, I bought the x-T4 because it was something I wanted. The price on x-HS is too expensive imo.

Back button autofocus works while shooting video on the x-h2s.

You should try the Viltrox 13mm f1.4

Fuji responded to the statements in this video by saying that the autofocus buttons on their cameras will have full-for-real-no-really-really autofocus capability in an unspecified future firmware update. They already spent most of the AF R&D on the buttons themselves, so it might be ready by.the time we're all switching from digital to holography.

Is there a need for vlogging? I feel that talking head (in studio) + B roll is more pleasing and easier to film. Unless there’s an experience involved with the vlogging, such as car reviews.

The lens looks great until you move an inch

a note about black point! I' noticed that you are using a deeper black lately, but don't give in to the temptation to crush the blacks. Rather grab a point close to the black point on your curves and just pull it down and to the right, but leave the start of the curve alone. That way you compress the darker values without crushing the blacks.

Instead of using MF/AF button. Use AF-lock. When AF is locked it is essentially in MF mode. You have to change the AF-lock button to toggle in the menu once and then it works perfectly. I have never touched the AF button again since I did this - it just stays in AF-C (for video). I don’t know if XT-4 is different than XT-3 but I have ISO on any wheel I want. You just have to set the ISO wheel to A and in the menu set “A” to command.

Warpy and jumpy in those trees but the colours look good. Less magenta on this one?

Gees… More wobbly than Nona’s Panna Cotta

Kasey -- I may be wrong as I have not messed with video on my G85 in a while, but I am pretty sure that I can change the AF modes (S, C, M) while recording, and also the focus area/points/box -- wow! Just like your Sony! But what's up with Fuji?

Interesting how you mentioned Canon struggled with animal eye auto focus. Seems the general opinion is that Canon is better than Sony at this. But you didn't mention Sony. Did the Sony money truck just back it's way up your drive?

Gorgeous lens. Wow.

Hi CP, did you try the new Viltrox 13mm 1.4? The AF is native like to that from Fuji lenses. Might be worth a shot

Can confirm that the XH2s has Nostalgic Negative

Jell-O cam today? I thought the Fuji XT-4 was better?

That warping is very noticeable and distracting.

The warpishit looks terrible. Your Olympus setup with 12 mm was the best looking for walk and talk vlogging.

You do not have to press the ISO button again. Pressing “ok” takes it out of that menu too. Very easy thumb press.

1:45 this issue could be addressed by using the switch on the lens, your hand mostly stays there (except with long lenses that don't have a custom button I think) and does the same thing except your af mode is what you already set in your camera (either AF-S or AF-C). But still, they should have moved the lever on the front like on the GFX line). 6:00 that's what I'm saying since I got my camera

get a Nikon if you want to manual focus you grab the ring and your in manual

So you still can not refocus using AF while filming using the back focus button… shame on you Fuji, shame on you… #disappointed

A quick question which is really a concern for me, the image from fuji in this video looks so sharp.. More like a smart phone image, is this happening with all fuji cameras or its just you pumping up the in camera sharpening?

The warping was horrendous. Anyway…more importantly, as your shoulders have grown bigger, your head appears to be shrinking.

The IBIS isn't smooth even though you're panning so slowly

Yeah that Fuji 8-16 2.8 was tested by "The Cameraville" against the Pentax 11-18mm 2.8 and the Pentax creamed it, but mind you the Fuji does go wider. The Pentax IBIS uses Horizon Correction, and I don't get what is going on with your XT4 IBIS because some of your shots are crooked, and I would assume Fuji IBIS is 5 axis and can level up a crooked camera. The IBIS still looked jittery on the XT4 unfortunately. As for button presses. Every button press on a Smart Phone has to be patented. If you recall Apple inc suing Samsung for copying the APPLE "bump" in the swipe costed Samsung dearly. So every camera maker has to patent their whole user interface and every button press and swipe and dial etc. Now if Sony has the patent for changing between stuff, its because Sony pioneered the video features in their camera and patented all of the good stuff. Now Fuji is left holding its hotdog. Pentax is more for photography but Pentax invented a bunch of stuff on their IBIS like in-camera 4 shot pixel shift; and in-camera 4 shot pixel shift handheld; Astro Tracer (Which tracks the sky during night time photography for no streaky stars, and eliminates the cost of expensive Astro equatorial mounts); Horizon correction on or off; AA filter simulator (Which simulates and AA filter for some added blur to eliminate moire). So like with Pentax, they came up with stuff early well before the others because they went with IBIS from the start. The others (Canon and Nikon) went with OIS and their sponsored photographers made claims that IBIS is no good at all and just plain wrong, to which a lot of people bought into and believed the lie. Sony also has tripod pixel shift pictures but I think its 16 images and they aren't processes in-camera, but in clunky software. Olympus also does pixel shift pictures, but I think its 8 shots. I can't remember whether its processed in-camera or not (I think it is). Fuji gfx does it with 15 images and its processed out of camera. Hasselblad did it with 6 images, out of camera But its too late Pentax won and makes the better system, and its in camera and can be done handheld. Why, because its fewer shots to gain true color information, and don in the least amount of time, and also in camera. You have to patent all this tech so that it is exclusive to your camera brand or phone brand. Or you have to ask for a license to "borrow" the tech and your competitor may or may not sell it to you.

Before I even continue to watch beyond 1:16 omg, this stabe is so wobbly, it hurts.

Really enjoyed the vlog, compared to being indoor or wildlife video. But the wobbly image due to the lens was painful tbh. Vlogging should be done with action cams, stability above all, remember your commandments 😀

7:54 Who the hell remembers 7 different custom settings named C1 to C7? On my Olympus i usually shoot in A mode for landscape, S mode for birds or other critters, M mode for astro and Movie mode on mode dial for High-Res astro.All custom modes ready to shoot.

9:20 warp factor 8.

Try the tamron 17-70mm 2.8. The ibis works much better when you try to pan with the camera.

None of the issues you pointed to affect the way I use this camera, plus several of them are wrong of of no concern. For example, I much prefer the front bottom button, because when it is pressed the three options, single shot, continuous AF, or MF, show up on the screen for you to select. That's great, because I think of all the times I manipulated that selector button blind, not being able to see the exact position, and ended up wrongly guessing. IMO the present button of the H2s is superior, because it eliminates guess work, and the clunky selector button on the front bottom left, which I always hated. The ISO button is fine, again, the ISO shows up on the screen. So it's easy to see what it is without taking your eyes off the image to see the position on the top dial. This, I call, progress! And that is what the XH2s is: manifest, superior progress. The best APS-C camera for video money can buy, with colors and an image far superior to anything Sony has ever produced. The lens you're using looks terrible. Get rid of sensor stabilization and get a great STABILIZED lens.

Sony A7Siii user here. Video 90% of the time with some family portraits. Considering wildlife. 100-400mm from Sigma or step up to the 150-600mm focal length? Leaning 100-400 for size reasons. Any thoughts?

The new warp king is….

While I appreciate the reviews and comedy, I think you’re expecting the X-H2S to be something it isn’t. The reason the controls are the way they are is because you can literally save every setting under a custom setting selection and it helps to automate the whole experience without many issues at all.

I tried shooting my kids sporting events with the xt3 (with & without vertical grip). After two events I will never use the fuji xt3 for sports. The ergonomics for sports are horrible. I kept hitting the the aoutfocus selector somehow and the lock button on the grip several times. Then there is the poor buffer (with the fastest cards). I now use Sony for everything even though I still have a soft spot for Fuji.
