Same here.....I chose the XH2 because of the hand grip, CFEXPRESS, full size HDMI, speed buffering, 8k, better EVF, and articulating screen, and pro res for the extra 300.00 it was a worthy upgrade to my XT4. In the future I may get a XH 2s, but maybe by then it will be a higher mp with a stack sensor. If not I still can choose the XH2S as is. I somewhat miss the old school dials,but not by much. I see your point, but the size thing is subjective because I have large hands, and being smaller than the XT4 is a nay no for me.

Love the XH2, thought I’d miss the dials on the XT3 but I don’t As regards the zoom function on playback this can be done by pressing the joystick in, so no big deal for me

same. in all the customs I put film simulations in and I'm getting more options. the grip is very nice too. I came from the xt2 and keeping it around

Same

Another excellent video Chris. To me, photography is about the entire creative experience-the look, feel, weight, size, controls, menus and even the sound of the camera, and the thrill of capture, combined with the image output, the artistic expression, the praise from others, and maybe the money you receive. I think you get this and your reviews are moving towards recognizing this more.

I did not even realize we were in there till you commented. Says that Chris nailed it with a tasteful inclusion without being over the top. ❤️

Hahaha, just saw this now! Thanks again Jani -- you're such an awesome supporter of this channel. 🙏 🙏

I have used the XT5 and own an XH2. You do notice a difference. It's a 2 million dot difference after all. The 3 million dot EVF on the XT5 is by no means bad, it is acceptable, but the XH2 is far better. It makes the XT5 feel like an XT4. I would recommend waiting until the XT6 if you don't plan on moving to an XH2.

It is a subjective topic, they are both great cameras.

I thought he was going to pick the XH2. But not all of those factors he covered hold the same weight.

Ha ha ha!!

and noise!

Hi, in your experience, is the upgrade super worth it? At double the cost or more.

Everyone is different. I still like the X-S10, and have retained it as a back-up body, and for situations where I want a smaller and lighter kit, including some street photography excursions. But as someone who mostly shoots landscapes, I definitely appreciate the many benefits of the X-H2.

@@warricksmith5178 thanks for your insight! Appreciate it cheers

Sounds like you are the target audience for xh2 if you are a hybrid shooter.

He covers that in another video, I think his post-6 month review of the X-T5.

This is exactly me. Wanted an X-T5, but irritated at the plastic dials, the same EVF as my X-H1 from five years ago, and.... well, not made in Japan. Have an X-H2 but the whole PASM thing makes me feel I should just have bought a Nikon if I wanted PASM photography.

Hi raske, I think that x-h2 would be a better option for you precisely because of that change speed, of course I could be wrong, but in the end the decision is always yours.

Thank you for the response janivauhkonen. I might be on to something then. I also really long for the grip size on the X-H2(s), so it seems I'm heavily leaning towards that for whenever my next upgrade will happen.

Hey Christopher. Any suggestions to a baseplate?

@@nugunzer I have the official Fuji one for the 5. The model is the MHG-XT5. It’s a bit pricey but it works well for what it is. If you use any Arca Swiss mount tripods, the grip uses that as a base plate, which is convenient. The small amount of heft and additional depth of the grip is helpful.

Thank you so much Terry!!! 🙏

Send me the older that u don't use 😂😂

not only protecting but hiding the screen suits fujifilm cameras alot:)

Yep. And you got seven of them.

Hello, I am deciding on a Fujifilm and I would like to see some of the images that you have captured with both cameras to decide... thanks!

Yes but I think I'd rather have the 2s but I know this video isnt about it

I’m guessing there won’t be much of a difference regarding the low light performance between xt4 and xh2(s), because they are all crop sensors. If the low light performance is the number one factor that you care about, either get a big aperture lens or get a full frame camera.

I do with my unit and it’s honestly a let down 🤷‍♂️ the Xt5 does feel more cheap when compared to the xh2 that’s why I went with xh2 instead

@@Bvvbbx Dang! Thanks for the response 🙏🏾💯

@@Bvvbbx : I've seen that mentioned in several comments. I wish one or two reviewers would talk about this, although one did say that they thought the X-H2 felt cheaper that the X-T4. I know that after handing both of the new cameras at the local store that the tilt screen felt loose in comparison to my X-T2 but the Flippy Screen on the X-H2 seemed loose also. It looked like the hinge joint was smaller that the joint on the X-T4. I know one response said the finish wasn't as good on the X-T5 as it was on the X-H2... Saving money I suppose.

How does the flippy screen take time, just leave it facing out.

@@tonyelsom Sure Tony, so then when I when I am shooting a high end kids party event and at lightening pace you see a shot coming together (kids don’t sit still for a single second. You have milliseconds to react), and it has to be a super low angle shot, camera almost to the ground. With the flippy screen facing out, to angle it, I then need to fold it completely out to the side, and rotate it around as it would now be facing the front. Also, by doing this, my left hand has come off the camera body to do so, rather than having a firm hand to now steady the body to reduce movement, and at that low angle, my left hand is now impeded because of the screen now out to the left, whereas with the tilt screen, I can remain gripping the camera, and with my last two fingers, slide them under to tilt it out, one single movement without looking as to not lose my eye on the shot. Shall I keep going? Like when after the low shot scenario, the flippy screen is now out to the side facing you after you went for the low shot, you immediately want to bring the view finder up to your eye for a standing shot as another shot comes together, but you can’t, because if you quickly fold the screen away, it is now facing inwards towards the body leaving you with no rear screen to check a shot or quickly go for an overhead shot because for the prior shot, it was rotated to face you, not forward as it would have been. Or, in this scenario, if you just put the body to your eye with the screen fully out to the left still, the viewfinder won’t even activate as the screen takes precedence being fully open. Whereas, with the tilt screen in this scenario, it would be slightly tilted out still as you bring the body back to your face, but in that single movement, the left hand grip allows for the thumb to quickly flatten the screen in again without taking your hand off the body (or your nose can even do it). Then the screen is in the exact spot I need it if an overhead, or low shot develops in front of me again. I get paid good money for these high end kids parties, and also for family portraits. People choose me for the family portraits over my competitors because they like that I capture their families in moments that are real with the kids movement, rather than stagnant and traditional portrait shots. I used to shoot Nikon z6ii, with a tilt screen, and then went to Sony. As fast as Sonys autofocus is, it was me that was slowed down by the flippy screen. Since moving to the XT series after using the XH series by Fujifilm, I am back to getting more shots like back in my z6ii days. Tony, I made the comment based off experience, lots of it. I hope that answers your question. ✌️

Probably vloggers - If one turns up at a wedding/event with a 'Toy camera' fuji, one tends to be looked down upon somewhat 😎
