Wonderful review as always! Would love to see an X-H2 vs. A7iv update with Fuji's latest firmware (AF etc.). I'm considering switching our whole family over to Fuji. My children are all on used Finepix Bridge Cameras and though the X-H2 is not quite at my A7iv level in certain areas, the colors, lens sizes/prices, and the many camera shapes, sizes, and price-points make it very attractive. Thanks again!

Nice review. It's funny, before the announcement, I thought this sensor/processor combo was going to be in the X-T5. I have an X-T3 and thought the X-S20 could be a next camera but I am a bit concerned about the single card slot and lack of WR. We'll see. I'm not yet ready to stop using the X-T3. It's been and continues to be a really good camera. Again, nice job with the review!!

I do not have the XS 20…lost my XS10 on vacation ( trauma ) but the controls on the XS cameras are identical. Ergonomics on the grip is excellent especially when you carry a zoom. For carrying these cameras with a wrist strap pretty awesome ergonomics. I would consider buying the T5 for the 40mp but would like to understand how to manipulate the camera first. I’ll rent one and studying the T5 with John Peltier Photography. Excellent in depth tutorials on Fuji Cameras and film simulations etc. I assume T4 is available used at this point. So in closing I have not decided which way to go.

Hello. Are you satisfied with the photo quality of this camera? I currently own xh2s + 16-80 mm f4 lens. However, when it comes to photography, my old camera Canon EOS 5D MK2 gives better results. xh2s is ultra successful in video, but there is a lack of texture in photos. I don't know if this is due to the lens on it. I haven't used a prime lens on a Fuji film body yet... I'm curious about your thoughts on photography.

Or would the video quality be similar since x-s20’s 4K is down-sampled 6K? Would the only benefit from 6.2K be open gate? I’m planning on exporting my video edits from a 4K or 1080P timeline and was wondering if using 6.2K footage would make any difference to using down-sampled 4K. Thank you

The Fuji is seriously intriguing as an all around compact travel and productivity camera. Thank you

As a Sony and Fuji owner I’d say depends of your usage and preferences. A7iii beats any Fuji in image quality, AF and lens options. So, if you plan to go pro, Sony has a solid pathway. If you’re going for travel, enjoyment and portability, then go with this Fuji. The screen and overall operation will be more responsive.

Not only do you have Fuji lenses but you also have option from sigma, Tamron and Viltrox. Smaller body and smaller ,cheaper lenses for the apc body but still with great quality. I don't recall the a73 happing a flip screen if that's important to you, Fuji colors are better than the a73 and you also have Fujis film simulations. I have a Sony a6400, a7r3, Nikon z7ii and now a Nikon Z8....

Good review, as usual. One question that I have aboiut open gate (that applies to the X-H2s too): open gate uses all teh sensor srea, hence is not oversampled. When you do a 4k crop of the 6.2k image, how it compares to the 4k oversampled? Probably the oversampled one is a bit better, but how much?

@TheHybridShooter Жыл бұрын

Thank you! 4K is downsampled, not oversampled. I have never compared it side-by-side, but I don't think that the difference will be huge.

@MarcioK Жыл бұрын

@@TheHybridShooter I guess we're talking about the same thing with different terms - the 4k in the X-S20 get the full sensor readout and converts it to 4k. This potentially results in better resolution and lower noise. My doubt is because some cameras (notably some Pansonics in the past) have a mode that made a central 4k crop from the sensor, and that image have notably worse quality than the 4k image from the full sensor readout. From what I saw from Fuji's open gate, the quality is really good, just wanted to know there is drawbacks. I will upgrade from them X-S10, specially because of the bigger battery - yesterday made some videos from a party and had to change batteries after almost 30 mins of 4k video - and maybe I will test the differences; if it is not huge, probably will start to use open gate a lot, to have some room to vertical reframing. Again, thanks for the review.

@TheHybridShooter Жыл бұрын

@@MarcioK Yes, the term "oversampled" is often used instead of downsampled, even by some manufacturers, but it is incorrect. It is a 4K video downsampled from oversampled 6.2K data. If you only crop 6.2K video vertically to get 16:9 and export in 4K you will get the same quality as with 4K downsampled in camera. The video will be downsampled during the exporting process.

X-S20 is a great portable video camera and is, as many have said, an baby X-H2S. The X-T5, on the other hand, is their flagship photography camera. It has the manual dials that many Fuji photography shooters prefer and love and is an interchangeable lens camera meaning you have a lot of versatility. The X100V, while also a premium stills camera from Fuji's lineup, differs from the X-T5 in that it has a fixed focal length meaning you can't swap lenses. It's a very experience oriented camera that many enthusiasts have grown to love, however, it is not a camera for beginners. Hope this helps!

I have to ask, why do you care about space saving on a camera? Like if there is a big empty area on a camera without any buttons, you’d rather have that instead of more buttons? The empty area where the d-pad could have been, how is that empty space better? Personally I want to have to enter the menus as little as possible.

@TheHybridShooter Жыл бұрын

By space saving I mean size saving (making the camera smaller). That area is nowhere near big enough for a D-pad. The camera would have to be larger to fit both joystick and D-pad.

There is no recording limit on this camera, so I'm not sure what do you mean by "recording limits". The camera doesn't need to downsample 6.2K footage to 4K, so it working less hard when shooting 6.2K, if that is what you are asking.
