One of the best cameras on the market! At least my experience!

People need to stop sleeping on the fuji cameras. They have made major gains I love the xpro2 maybe I will go back in the future. This h2s looks phenomenal is a major win for fuji. Thank you for the walk through ❤

As a sports photo shooter and a dreaming film maker, the xh2s is the best bang for your buck camera. The stacked sensor is incredible. I've even made my xs10 a decent sports photo camera (you just have to learn how to make the AF work for you). Keep up the great work on your channel sir!

Agreed. The memory card door is the only part of the body that doesn’t feel rock solid. I will say though, it’s way better than the door on the Sony a7iv.

I swapped my X-T4, for the X-H2 and then got an X-H2S in the January sales. Love them both. Also love my X100V. I can identify with all the plusses that you mention, but none of the minuses bother me. I have kitted out my H2S with a dummy battery/V-Lock external and a Neewer cage. For general photography the H2 gives me lossless crop-in and an incredible fastest shutter speed of 1/180,000 sec! For action and video the H2S is hard to beat, and as both have identical bodies, including button layout, they make a great pair when I need two bodies. The X100V is just a great walk about camera, with its builtin ND filter and lens shutter. Well done Fujifilm!

I shoot on a A7III and I've been wanting to branch into video a lot more. I was pondering picking up a FX3, but the price of it is a bit much to swallow. I think this camera looks like the perfect option for me as it does both stills and video so well. I'm also really fond of Fuji colours and I really think the look is quite pleasing. Another big win for the Fuji is 3:2 open gate, which would be brilliant for anamorphics! Fantastic review mate... I'm being swayed more to sell my Sony gear and jumping into the Fuji system.

Nice Review! As for the card slot door, yes, my model also has a "looseness" to a degree. I don't think that this is mentioned anywhere in other online forums so glad you brought it up. Glad to know that it doesn't interfere with its weather resistance in reasonable conditions from your experience.

Best and most useful review I've seen on this camera! Your sample photos also illustrate the the functionality, but as always are one of my favorite things about your videos. The section explaining the open gate rations was perfectly edited and spot on to clarify the functionality. Fantastic video Goughie! Cheers mate!

02:31 - you can actually change what the submonitor shows in the menu! So you can tidy things up however you like, it’s a pretty awesome feature!

I just see you have cracked the 10k. congratulations. :D so even almost 12K. This is definitely going to be your year. 👌

Great work all around! FUJI is in a class by itself, your work shows us that!

I absolutely love my x-h2!!! Just picked up the 150-600mm lense!! Love it.

Overall I think comparing the pricing to small format FF (And entry level FF options at that) propagates the wrong comparable :) . The comparison to the XH2s/XH2 is NOT the A7iv, A7rV, R6, R5. The comparison in my experience is to the Sony A1, Canon R3 and Nikon Z9 offerings where the overall package of the XH2s represents huge value for money. 40fps stills, higher bit rate internal recording options, Pro Res internal recording , Black magic raw external, better IBIS than the Sony (smaller sensors being easier to balance), better rolling shutter performance than anything else close to it’s price point etc… I recently moved from Sony A1 and A7rV with a suite of GMaster lenses. I did this because the XH2s in particular offered a much more capable hybrid workflow without requiring as much external ‘kit’ as my A1 or A7rV. Particularly internal raw recording with an overall smaller lighter kit. Extremely happy with my decision. I’d encourage others half interested not to dismiss this kit because it’s APSC but instead look at it through the lens of workflow flexibility. :)

Nice video dude! The angelbird 512gb CF type B card is often available in the UK for around £175, highly recommend if you want a cheaper high capacity CF

Amazing video and great point. I have seen so many channels turn into infomertials and churches for their Favorit camera brand. And whilst I understand the motivation of KZfaq, to push consumerism, it really hurts the great content creators like you and us hobby photographers. So props to you and I am looking forward to your new videos

The memory card door on my XH2 is similar, but maybe to a lessor degree than you have shown, for what that's worth. Seems to me like there's a bit of play caused by the rubber gasket it pushes up against. Probably not a problem and just normal.

Totally agree with everything said in this video!! I’m using mine for results and X-T4 for funsies. ❤

Very well done! Excited for your X-T5 review

I just got an X-H2 and had seen your comment about the loose fitting door that others mentioned also. My door fits really well so possibly that has been fixed. Mine was on back order so it is likely a newer mfg date.

Hey man! I wasn looking exactly for the same issue! The card door does the same for me as well. I also used the camera in rain and nothing bad happened but I was wondering if it is normal. Anyway good to know I'm not alone ahah But great and informative video

Great video (as always)! Thanks a lot for your content. I have the same issues with the door of the memory slots. It looks like its a little more "closed" on the top and stands out at the bottom. But this isnt a real problem for me and only a minor critic - in general I truely hyped by the xh2s. It´s the best camera for my usecase and it makes so much fun (I owned a Sony a7iv / Canon R6 and Fujifilm xt4 before)

damn... that's a proper edit for a personal experience review. nice

It's amazing for streaming on twitch with It's out of this world quality

Thanks for affirming that a larger sensor is still better for low light photography. I love my XT-4 for street shooting but I switch to my Z6II for low light/indoor shooting

Yes. Most of the xh2s copies have that sd card slot door prob.

3:20 not just you. Of the two X-H2S I’ve used both have the memory card door that presses in a little. It’s very mild .. but there.

The review I needed - thanks!

i love this camera! saludos desde Chile

Fabulous video - thank you very much. It's much more interesting to hear about usability in practice than all the talk about upcoming equipment (at worst, it's just speculation about possible specs). Am I going to sell my extensive m43 setup and buy what is perhaps the most interesting camera on the market? Probably not. For me, the new G9 II and the X-H2S are similar cameras, even if there are a few differences. Both live up to my claim to produce high-quality photos and videos to perfection (live productions are not a topic for me). The X-H2S offers the fantastic EVF, while the G9 II offers 4k120p without crop. In the end, the bodies have reached such a quality that I am increasingly looking at the larger ecosystem - (anamorphic) lenses, handles, SSD etc. In this respect, both systems are fabulous. What is missing everywhere is 1TB of internal flash memory. Do I have to buy a smartphone? 😎

Thank you for the great review! I am also quite satisfied with mine, coming from the Canon universe I still have to get used to it, though 😏

i dont understand why everyone keep saying CFE Type B is something to note for its price. a mid tier CFE card is cheaper than a good UHS2 SD card, while being faster. If you look at prograde gold 512gb for example, it is significantly cheaper than a UHS2 SD card thats half its capacity (while being faster). the minimum speed is sufficient for all X-H2S internal recording bitrates too, supposedly. (Prograde Cobalt shouldn't be necessary, but i could be wrong)

I have both the hS2S and H2. I am selling the H2 along wth a 70-2300 if anyone is the US is interested, but the hs2s along with a full frame sony A7Rv will be my staples for a long time.

great video

7:33 Very interesting point that I haven't seen being made anywhere else. With the future of vertical videos this is super useful. This should also be helpful when posting videos in 21:9 on KZfaq correct?

The door of my memory card is perfect an fit.

Lovely review! Can you focus into film simulations recipes for video in the next video please?

Yeah, mine cards door is also little flimsy but not like yours. I looked what can I do and maybe new door will be solution because there is one spring inside and have filling that is too lose or something 🙂

The top of the memory card door on my camera does flex very slightly as well, although yours looks perhaps a bit more flexible? As a point of interest, my camera is less than 2 months old.

I also considered the Sony A7IV, until I saw the video specs… unfortunately, Sony really limited the A7IV video wise & so I ruled it out…

my only gripe with this camera is that we for some reason can't map ISO to the front dial like in every other Fuji camera which is just weird and slows me down so much in alot of the work I do

Absolutley perfect review! This is why i love your channel so much! Can't wait for the xt5 version as xt3 fanboy and now starting amateur videographer, I'm really curious about your take on it. Some things I'd love to hear (no requirements off course it's completely personal, but it might be useful for you too :) (tracking) autofocus (also in video) and if you noticed worthy improvements ibis (in terms of photo and video id love to see if it truly helps in shutter speeds :) Log video capability File size and the new (software) features your notes on the new 40mp sensor and i know this is extremly nit picky im sorry :*) butt did you notice a diffrence in dynamic range with the new trans 5 sensor?

Just curious would you recommend buying this over a Sony a7iv for a hybrid camera? Thanks.

What mode did you shoot this video in? Also how did you get the halation glow effect? Awesome video btw!

my only gripe is you can't disable the aperture ring. I pretty much have to buy lenses that have the aperture ring lock.

i am on the fence on wether to buy the xt5, xh2 or xh2s and i have been leaning more and more towards the xh2s, the only downsides i see are less MP and less 'fun' i guess, but especially for video i think its worth it EDIT: bought the xh2s and i prefer shooting photos with the xt5, but for hybrid the xh2s is superior

great video.thanks. I have the xt5,xt3 and x100v and have been shooting with it for the last 6-7 years.. I'm thinking about converting the xt3 to infrared and selling the x100v to buy an xh2s or get into the gfx system. or maybe even the Nikon z8. I came from nikon750 and that is an awesome low light camera. I mostly shoot street/travel and the xt line is perfect for that but as I approach retirement I see myself shooting more landscape and wildlife. and dabbling in video. just not sure which way to go.

7 customs modes.... nice!! if one would need more than 7 than one doesn't really got their preferences down in yet

if you can't see a difference between photo's from the xh2s and the x-t4 then you probably can add the x-t2 to that as well, since most reviews back then also included very little to no difference between the x-t4, 3 and 2

Highly recommend you take a look at the Angelbird Pro SE 512gb CF Type B, $180 in the US for that amount of storage? Say less.. I've been using it for over a few months now and havent had any failures.

Is there any good argument as to why I would go with this camera over the Lumix S5IIX?

Is the camera overheating sometimes ? Nice review by the way, Keep it uo !!

Hi and thanks for a great review. When you say that the X-H2s is a bigger camera as compared to the X-T5, is it primarily in thickness? I keep seeing reviews saying that it is a lot bigger, scaring me a bit from my decision to buy the X-H2 (which I have on order). When I look at size specs, I see there are only fairly small differences in height and width ... width being .6cm wider and only .2 cm taller. The biggest difference when I look at online specs seems to be thickness of the body, and there is a real difference there. Is that the case or maybe I am overlooking something? By the way, I have seen someone else commenting about the loose fit of the door/flap you mentioned, so you are not the only one. Thanks again!

Can you compare this to the xs20 and show the final product for both cameras ?

I felt like my memory card door had play in it also. Hated that.

The Canon R6 even de Mark two don't have the second screen one of the things i really liked on my older cam's. For that you need to buy a R5 ore the R 3! If you see what one of this two cost the Fujifilm cam is really cheap. Also most of the lenses are Les expensive then Canon for example.

Battery door perfectly flush for me

Cf express cards like the Angelbird 512 are much cheaper per MB than any UHS II SD card. And much faster...

How did you go about adding the eterna LUT to your flog footage?

Sounds like you may like the xs20

thanks for this video! about the top screen: does it show when the camera is recording video? something like a rec icon maybe?

Nice, for the algo!

my memory card door is the same, it was the same on a previous x-h2s and x-h2 so its a design flaw.

Here is a question for anyone: Can video from the X-H2S readily color match video from the X-T3 and X-T4 (if shot with similar settings in the first place), or does the different sensor complicate this?

Hello really liked your video. I had a question does this camera has these vintage filters ?like the xx100v?

What does BA1 TC1 CG1 mean?

I have an X-H2s and don't have the same door issues you do. Must just be your copy. Unrelated, to each their own, but the pro mist/cinebloom filter you have going on is just wayyyy too strong IMO. I feel like if you're hoodie drawstrings look like they're glowing you've gone a bit too far. Edit: Just watched further and it seems your OOC footage is fine, you're just adding a ton of bloom with Dehancer.

Hybird?

you know... it ain't difficult - AT ALL - to film yourself without a flippy screen. just set focus to 1m if you sit at 1m distance, it's really, really, that simple.

Putting your head near the top of the frame makes it pop whenever you move due to edge distortion. Doesn’t look good.

Fuji has discontinued their cheaper cameras.

It looks almost like a carbon copy of the Panasonic s1h

I have an X-H2 and that memory card door has some give, but doesn't feel like it moves as much as yours. I'm sure the squish is a gasket for water resistance being compressed.
