Cam, you're for sure the only one who has done a real comparison of these two in regards to photo in the real world. This is so great - thanks for sharing this!! Very excited to see more Fujifilm content from you, as I still think you're one of the best to do it on here. Good shit brother.
@@cammackey Hello, I watch your videos and I think you are doing a great job. I am a Fujifilm xt3 owner hoping to get the Fujifilm xh2s strictly for Filmmaking. Please is there a way you can compare Fuji xh2s F-log 2 vs Canon C70 C-log 2. Mainly cos they are both super 35mm and if it can be done with the same lens. Love from Nigeria, Africa
For me, as an amateur, these bodies are out of my budget. But, that doesn't mean I'm not still very happy with my XT-3. And, you have done some beautiful portrait/fashion work in the past with the XT bodies. My dilemma is over glass. I like portrait stuff but also youth sports. I rented the 56 and was blown away. But, that doesn't help for sports. I've been thinking that the 90 f2 might be a good choice to cover both(no, I can't afford the 50-140!). Trying to make the most out of my money. That's how I ended up buying the XT-3! Love your fashion work. Great source of inspiration for me. Thanks again!
@@MrRager1994 Yes, but I kind of wanted a prime lens. So, update.. I stumbled upon a 56mm f1.2 that is a a very good price in basically new condition First owner is upgrading to the XH-2 and the new lenses. Sold all of his old equipment. The price was low enough that I could afford to buy it and later get something else for sports. I'm really pumped to get it. It's coming tomorrow!
Man I’m so glad you made this. I sold my r5 last year and bounced around until the xh2s came out and I think it’s so incredible. I started a channel when I got it and have been a huge fan. I shoot wildlife and had been planning on buying an xh2 as a second body but as they announced it, I got really skeptical of how it would hold up. I made a video about how it’s not a great option compared to the slightly more expensive S and I took a LOT of shit for it. Glad to see someone with more presence than me having the same result.
Xh2 sounds like a partner you used to date. There but not quite there. Xh2s feels like sounds that vibes with you and connects on a whole level. Less insecure, more relatable and more consistent. Maybe not as glamorous but is fast and responsive when it counts. I am torn between two worlds. And feel that I am dwindling on having an affair. Really, I should go with my heart and get the xh2s, or should I be enticed by the glamour or high resolution and crop ability. Maybe it’s me. I need to frame better and get the shot. No camera is going to cure my lack of skill behind the lens. But, we want to heal through our relationships. I am guilty of that myself. So help me bro. What should I do? 😂
Finally a review with pixel peeping. Thank you. I don't think its that much of a difference. Since I'm no professional, I just need this for hobby and eCommerce photography and night photography, i'll go with xh2s. Just to be future proof.
So torn, was planning on getting the XH2S. Then a friend suggested I'd get the the FX30 so he could get me more gigs as a and b-cam because it's all Sony cine line here. And they don’t touch footage from other brands. Keeping the X-T4 though.
Great comparison; what if I am shooting moving Toddlers? Will the XH2 still be able to keep up? Or in this case the XH2s is more warranted. I personally like the XT5 form factor, but am hestitant about the autofocus.
Thanks for your comparison. We just did a Special Louis Vuitton High Jewellery shoot for GRAZIA magazine and she the whole video with the Fujifilm X-H2 at 60 fps, with no problem in DR at all. Best wishes from a Canadian in Paris!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Im enjoying the XH2s it’s perfect files size for my wedding and portrait work. Yes 40 mpx sounds great but to be honest non of my customers would need to print that big anyway. A Standard A3 or A2 would be the maximum Is what people ask for.
Nice comparison but at 2:25 for me the bottom photo (XH2s) has way more detail and is clearer overall. Where can you see advantages in the top photo? And overall all XH2s photos are sharper from what I can see. 🙂
Since he head was at a slightly different angle in both, the DOF is different. So don’t pay attention to overall detail, but to the detail of my focus point. Which was her eyes and eye lashes. The XH2 def has more detail. TH-cam compression def kills down the overall clarity of the screen recording sadly. In most shots tho the XH2 just had a smidge more detail. In reality it really just gives you more cropping ability.

@@cammackey Thank you man! Really appreciate your time giving me your answer. I cant decide between both.. I love fuji, but I love the full frame look and high iso on a 40mpx sensor couldn be that good.
@@cammackey you're right about the eye lashes but for me it seems the reflection in the eye is sharper on the XH2s. But there is also the different angle of course, which you have mentioned. Overall it doesn't seem to be worth to deal with bigger file sizes if the outcome is almost the same. The slightly higher noise of the XH2 should be because of the higher pixel density but it's very impressive anyway. It really depends on the workflow which to chose I guess.
@@NickDelDuca same. R5 and I have the sigma 40 and 135. I bought them just in case I move to gfx because they work great on this system (I mean they cover MF and they are sharp)
been watching your content since the xt4 came out - this was great. i had high hopes for the xt5, but seeing how they're targeting photographers over videographers, i think that if i were to upgrade the xh2s is the way to go. did you use the 23mm 1.4 or the f2 lens?
Great video and I love your style doing this.....i have an xt1 and an xt4 and i think of buying an xh2...but there is also a chance to take an used gfx 50r.....i love vintage glass.....but what will i do ??
Loving the fuji content! Still, a little torn because of the possibility for 8k BRAW out of the XH-2....but the dynamic range on the 2-S is probably still worth it! Are you gonna do any tests with the BRAW out of these cameras? That's the real game changer for me with these two that few other cameras are offering!
Prbly not. I have external records. They’re just another thing to get broke on set. And question, what would you need the 8K for that the XH2S 6.2k couldn’t do for you?
@@cammackey pulling green screen keys for virtual production is the only time it’s worth dealing with. The 8k raw from the R5 ends up keying around hair and small details surprisingly a lot easier than the 6k on my bmpcc6k. It’s not that a good key can’t be pulled from a 6k image, but with higher resolution, you have a lot less work to do in getting a nice clean key. Even if I’m mastering in 1080p, it makes the plates blend a lot more naturally once the key is taken in 8k…it’s obsessive perhaps but I hate doing green screen work if it’s at all obvious that it’s being keyed lol again, still will probably go with the 2S but that’s a minor fringe benefit I’m seeing with the H2. Might sell my pocket 6k and get both lol
My work is more photo than video but I'm sticking with the XH2s, and so far I'm happy with the results. As a movie still photographer, I am also greatly helped by the censored stack, especially when shooting action films.
Theoretically asking, you own an A7IV and hate the 1.5x crop on 4k 60 and would like to get the XH2, you just said the 4k60 on the XH2 wasn't the greatest and the A7IV's 4k60 is downsampled from 4.8k. The X-H2 has less crop but less of a lens selection from 3rd party, would you still keep the A7IV and just go wider like (17-28 from tamron?) or would you get the X-H2 and something like the 17-70 2.8 from Tamron. I'm having a hard choice deciding between the two cameras and would really like to have your opinion, i'm a fully hybrid worker and would LOVE to have film sims again to just aim and shoot with Kodak 400 loaded into the settings, but I'd prefer the video specs of the A7IV since I do make money off of it.
I shoot on GFX. But my poor back. I am looking for a video camera for TH-cam. The 40mpx are very interesting. But I think ill go with the S for the 120fps, better AF, better rolling shutter.
Fuji has made sure their fans if they are true hybrid shooters consider getting two instead of one camera. In an ideal world having both a combination of XH2/XH2s or X-T5/XH2s would make sense.
@@cammackey wow. i’d love to see a tutorial from you cause I have a wireless go ii, but every time I watch your videos it seems like you’re using some expensive seinheiser mic to get that crisp audio
Context aside I agree, In in this case I have to be honest , it sounds a bit unnatural, like the sound doesn't belong to the clip. A completely dry sound in a forest is provoking to my brain LOL. Way better then a bad sound though. Love the channel
@@stefansundstrom6755 thanks! For context, this isn’t a video for entertainment but for information. So rather the audio be extra crispy. I’ve been doing sound and music ish for years now and it always confuses my brain to when watching a film and like them opening a candy wrapper or anything small is loud af hahaha so I get it
Hi Cam! Did you record the XH2 in 4k HQ? Apparently it has more dynamic range in that setting. Is the 40mp really that much better than the 26mp XH2S for fashion photography and large 60” x 40” prints? Or should I get a GFX instead of the 40mp XH2? Thx!
What would you recommend for shooting live concerts? I’ve been getting by on my XT3 whenever I go on tour but I am looking to upgrade! I mainly do photo but I sometimes do a little video.
After seeing this xh2 is not lagging behind and I like it cuz lower price tag…. But I don’t like it’s buzzer file sizes, so I will opt for s version since b cards are not cheap I thin in a long run xh2s is cheaper . And I have doubt of xh2 files would put down my Mac at some point. Thnx
Hey man, love the video as I'm torn between these. Mostly shoot photo, but would eventually like to dip my toe in videos. Wouldn't be client work for a while, would you say the X-H2 is ok for getting acquainted with video?
Hey Cam, thanks for the great videos. I'm wondering how matchable the color is between the XH-2S with Canon's Cinema cameras? I'm on Canon but have always loved Fuji and have been thinking about pickup an XH-2S to be my personal camera but wondering if it might cut in as an occasional C-Cam to my C70 and R5C if needed. Have you tested this yet?
what up cam was curious what you think about this: I currently run with fuji xt4s for wedding cinema + photo I have a wide range of lenses what frustrates me is the autofocus and the stabilization for video. oh and also that it overheats on me at important scenarios like a wedding ceremony after recording continuosly for about 25+ minutes. Really contemplating switching camera systems maybe to the canon r5c which I saw you said it was like the canon r5 + red komodo but not sure of it since it doesn't have image stabilization. I'm searching to see what can solve my issues since most of what I do is really fast paced and constantly having to shoot fast change lenses be handheld with video and also switch to get some stills as well. Because of this i'm not sure which camera system would be best to switch too or if I should just upgrade to xh2s and that will solve my problems. Thanks for your time and response in advance!
Get the XH2S. The Komodo isn’t for you. No AF tracking. Heavy, at least compared to fuji cameras. And the fine Susie’s are huge in raw. Kind of a waste to have if you only use it for pro res in my opinion. The R5C is great. Zero complaints. But its expensive. RF glass is big and expensive as well. And no IS if you really need that. Fantastic image quality tho.
There are many photographers who use a full frame DSLR, or shoot 35mm film campaign to pretty known brands and there's no way they could zoom in and crop the image like a Medium format camera would. Do you think it's a major consideration for brands? They really ask if you shoot medium format? Or, just that these film shooters doing a campaign - would just take an extra close up shot on the product and they'll be done with that limitation easily?
I’ve filmed on sets with big fashion film photographers, 90% of them shoot digital on gigs hahaha. But like fashion editorials and ish are way slower pace. Really depends on the brand and what they need. But cropping comes less down to just cropping into details but more of wider use. Say they want a hero shot for their home page website.. but also want to crop that image for IG.. and then want to run social ads at 9X16 verticals of it.. or say they want to crop one side out and put text on the other side.. like all of that helps to have more MP. And more of my working photographer friends are still shooting with 5D MK 4s and barely looking into the R5 haha. They don’t care about gear all that much.
@@cammackey 1.First off- that is fuck*n interesting, as film Photographers display only their film work, but you say that most of their day to day shoots are done on a digital (they just don't share or display it on their IG/Website?) 2. The example you gave with the cropping feels like that when shootinf with the GFX- all of your shots could be full-bodied, and that the actual composition finding would be done in post. Gotta ask, how much 1 GFX file weighs? And how many images does a client get at the end? Cause this could get pretty heavy, pretty fast. With clients mostly using images on their IG+Website - even a 5Dmk4 image size is an overkill
@@eladbari well I don’t mean to generalize. But everytime I work work a full photographer, they’re shooting digital on set with DTs. And I don’t mean TH-camrs and ish. I mean real deal photographers haha.
@@eladbari and it depends on the client. If they have stores, the images will most likely get used in all sorts of different aspects. VS online just being use or social media and web.
R5C. Most campaigns I’m on are insanely fast pace. Producers and creative directors are always trying to cram a million looks in one day. The R5C is my safe camera, it’ll get me great quality at 45mp and can easily be edited, RF zooms are insanely handy and have GFX quality optics. I’d be okay using the GFX100s but I’ve done that once and the clients complained about the files being difficult (large) for their in house team to handle…like 100mp is over kill for sure for me haha. If they come out with a fast phase detection 50mp gfx.. I’m getting it.
@@cammackey i'm using the1dxmkiii and the R5 - i did use the phase one system for a while - but had same issues of file size. for me the canon glass wins... you're ok with fuji glass?
Oh the XH2 is like 97% as good lol. Like it did just As good but just seemed a little jumpy. I bet within a few months they both get solid updates. I think you’ll be golden.
Sure. Depends what type of shoots you’re doing tho. Still life and studio will be a breeze. But super fast pace and challenging light.. less room for errors to be made.

If you hold the shift key while zooming in (with multiple images open) it zooms all at once, does the same if you pan.

Fuji sensors are amazing. They make you forget about fullframe
There’s upsides and downsides to every sensor size.

Really contemplating switching camera systems maybe to the canon r5c which I saw you said it was like the canon r5 + red komodo but not sure of it since it doesn't have image stabilization. I'm searching to see what can solve my issues since most of what I do is really fast paced and constantly having to shoot fast change lenses be handheld with video and also switch to get some stills as well. Because of this i'm not sure which camera system would be best to switch too or if I should just upgrade to xh2s and that will solve my problems. Thanks for your time and response in advance!
Get the XH2S.
The Komodo isn’t for you. No AF tracking. Heavy, at least compared to fuji cameras. And the fine Susie’s are huge in raw. Kind of a waste to have if you only use it for pro res in my opinion.
The R5C is great. Zero complaints. But its expensive. RF glass is big and expensive as well. And no IS if you really need that. Fantastic image quality tho.
@@cammackey does the r5c stabilize well in post if you shoot handheld?
Just picked up an H2 today.
Do you think the X-T4 will get an autofocus firmware update? I am loving the new autofocus algorithm on the new XH2 .
No clue
Not one to buy luts but just seen you have them in your store and big fan of your work, do you have a video demo for the canon luts?
On the site there should be a video on there! If not I know I def have a video about them somewhere on here haha
What if we only use 24fps (for traditional narrative work), then would you still say the X-H2S is the hands down winner?
Yes, cause it'll still have better rolling shutter. But if youre just doing like corporate work or interviews.. then either works just fine for sure.
There are many photographers who use a full frame DSLR, or shoot 35mm film campaign to pretty known brands and there's no way they could zoom in and crop the image like a Medium format camera would. Do you think it's a major consideration for brands? They really ask if you shoot medium format? Or, just that these film shooters doing a campaign - would just take an extra close up shot on the product and they'll be done with that limitation easily?
I’ve filmed on sets with big fashion film photographers, 90% of them shoot digital on gigs hahaha. But like fashion editorials and ish are way slower pace. Really depends on the brand and what they need. But cropping comes less down to just cropping into details but more of wider use. Say they want a hero shot for their home page website.. but also want to crop that image for IG.. and then want to run social ads at 9X16 verticals of it.. or say they want to crop one side out and put text on the other side.. like all of that helps to have more MP. And more of my working photographer friends are still shooting with 5D MK 4s and barely looking into the R5 haha. They don’t care about gear all that much.
@@cammackey 1.First off- that is fuck*n interesting, as film Photographers display only their film work, but you say that most of their day to day shoots are done on a digital (they just don't share or display it on their IG/Website?)
2. The example you gave with the cropping feels like that when shootinf with the GFX- all of your shots could be full-bodied, and that the actual composition finding would be done in post.
Gotta ask, how much 1 GFX file weighs? And how many images does a client get at the end? Cause this could get pretty heavy, pretty fast. With clients mostly using images on their IG+Website - even a 5Dmk4 image size is an overkill
@@eladbari well I don’t mean to generalize. But everytime I work work a full photographer, they’re shooting digital on set with DTs. And I don’t mean TH-camrs and ish. I mean real deal photographers haha.
@@eladbari and it depends on the client. If they have stores, the images will most likely get used in all sorts of different aspects. VS online just being use or social media and web.
so… for commercial clients for print work - in-store work, are you shooting medium format?
R5C. Most campaigns I’m on are insanely fast pace. Producers and creative directors are always trying to cram a million looks in one day. The R5C is my safe camera, it’ll get me great quality at 45mp and can easily be edited, RF zooms are insanely handy and have GFX quality optics. I’d be okay using the GFX100s but I’ve done that once and the clients complained about the files being difficult (large) for their in house team to handle…like 100mp is over kill for sure for me haha. If they come out with a fast phase detection 50mp gfx.. I’m getting it.
@@cammackey i'm using the1dxmkiii and the R5 - i did use the phase one system for a while - but had same issues of file size. for me the canon glass wins... you're ok with fuji glass?
@@simongentry yeah canon glass is amazing. GFX glass is my favorite for sure. Canon second. Fuji X third. Sony glass last haha
Torn between XH2 and XH2S for wedding gigs.. Worried that the AF is not on par with the S version
Oh the XH2 is like 97% as good lol. Like it did just As good but just seemed a little jumpy. I bet within a few months they both get solid updates. I think you’ll be golden.
@@cammackey Thanks!
Weird question: what’s up with those eye glasses? Brand/ size…? ❤
Their prescriptions from Moscot
@@cammackey Thank you Cam! I just went through the collection… Love ‘em all! 😎
I think' you'll find both the Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR & Fujinon XF23mm f2 R WR that are recommended,.
the new 23 WR 1.4
You mentioned that the detail on the xh2 is significantly lower than what you get from a gfx camera. But do you mean the 50mp or 100mp gfx?
The 100mp, but also the 50 sensor.
Excellent video
So can the XH2 cover me for big campaigns/giant prints?
Sure. Depends what type of shoots you’re doing tho. Still life and studio will be a breeze. But super fast pace and challenging light.. less room for errors to be made.
What about 8k30fps video from H2 vs 6k video from H2s?
If you for some specific reason need 8k over 6k.. but at the end of the day 99% of us aren’t doing anything that needs 8K haha. Including me.
@@cammackey well that is great but the X-H2s and the X-H2 are way better cameras.
The search for the perfect "hybrid" camera continues...
The R5C is the perfect hybrid camera.
But Fuji gear inspires me to shoot for fun
mosquitorrrs
Spoiler: he did not keep the camera 😅🤠
Expensive rental lol
Iphone looks best ha 🙈
Those damn muskeeters! ; )
