- NOTE: In the video I mention that the X-H2 has a slower processor than the X-H2S, which is not correct. X-H2 has the same processor as the X-H2S. Difference is that X-H2S has a lower resolution stacked sensor.
Filmed on 2nd September 2022.

The X-H2 may not be new news now - it was announced on Thursday 8th September - but the decision was made not to release this video at that time.
It was a truly sad day; the day we lost an amazing human being, who dedicated over 70-years of her life to our country. It goes without saying that it was not in one's heart nor mind to be publishing content just a little over an hour after the news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II broke.
Along with the nation, I am mourning the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II, but hope that we can come round to celebrating the extraordinary life of a great Queen.
R.I.P. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Lovely words and sentiment Kai 👍
Long live the King!
Irony?
@@stimac92 nope, wishing him the best healthy life!!!
I really appreciate the sentiment Kai. And your vids are always a highlight to even the darkest of days.
Anyone else felt stressed the entire video, by Kai holding that lens under his arm? 😅
I’ve been looking more at the lens than at the camera…
Absolutely. Finding it hard to watch because I’m worried about the lens hitting the floor.
Classic Kai
Lolz
I haven't even begun watching the video and read your comment first and now I'm stressed out he might actually drop it! 😅
YES
Kai truly masters the art of increasing my stress levels by how he handles expensive cameras and lenses
YESS
I love it 😂
Yeah, that armpit lens grip... legendary
this is the closest we get from old DigitalRev days. Oh bois keep this up!
minus the smashing of equipment 😂
@@KGProductions_ They still do on other videos occasionally, though not as hardcore as the past ;D
Minus Alamby! Those trio are wild pigeons on the loose 😂
He didn’t do the voice over in this video.
When you do reviews in the street, I always have to watch it twice in one sitting. The first time I just watch the reactions of the people in the street. The second time I actually listen to the review. The reactions are always fun to watch
This video seems like a throwback to old DigitalRev days, I love it, needs even more crazy.
This gives you that OG DRTV vids of Kai and Lok back in HK. Thanks for doing this guys! LOVED IT for real! :)
Your S5 was constantly miss focusing, wish you used the X-H2 for this video.
12:10min mark - 'The XT-5 is for hipsters!' that was good for a laugh, I can't even begin to imagine what he'll say about the eventual Xpro4!
This Dude never changed ever since I stopped watching his videos 10 years ago. Glad to see that he stayed consistent.
Kai's wristwatch game is crazy.
OK, what is it this time?
@@numbersix8919looks like an Omega Speedmaster, though it's not often you don't see him with Rolex of some form.
@@echo_waves9439 I think you're right, the way the case shields the stem/buttons. Recently he was wearing a modern Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso (the kind with two faces).
Quality vid boys the end was the best part 😂 ps. greatly appreciate postponing it Kai , thank you for the nice words !
You didn't mention that the X-H2S has the stacked sensor -- that's the speed factor, not the processor.
Sorry it's on me. Kai did find out after filming that the processors are the same between X-H2 and X-H2S and told me about it, but I mistaken that and left the "slower processor" bit in the final edit.
Amazing content as always Kai Cheers!! 🙏✨
His the bEst!
I just started using 4k this year. Can’t IMAGINE the file sizes for 8k
same. thinking about going back to hd.
@@ChristianThueringer get back to that 144p life
From what I heard it must be about 100gb/min :D
1080 still looks quite good with good glass.
@@ChristianThueringer Depending on what you're recording, you might be able to have the best of both worlds. I use X-T3 bodies for talking head videos, talk shows, interviews, etc.
For those use cases, I can't discern a difference between 4K at 100Mbps and 4K at 200 or 400Mbps.
So I use 4K at 100Mbps and it's the same file size as 1080p, but I still get to punch in and reframe because I'm using 4K on a 1080p timeline.
gave me digital rev tv vibe ! good OG times Kai !
Was just at Fujikina in NYC and shot around with this camera and I’m really impressed. I’m a canon shooter but tempted to switch to Fuji. Great video!
Everything points to the Fuji for me as everything else lacks something unless you go to the R3/R5 or Z9 which are double the price.
Kai casually holding tha lens under his arm gives me "Kai´s gonna drop shit"-Anxiety.
I'm so amazed by your confidence of carrying that lens between ur arm and body. :D
Took me 6 months but picked up this exact combo thanks to your video. Great work!
Still happy with my XT-4 🥰
Brings back digital rev days with his mannerisms lol
Hey guys! While I love the content as of late (esp. since Lok is around), I’ve especially been enjoying the more consumer and “tech” (drones, etc.) coverage.
Would love to see your take on smart phone photography, particularly on what a “pro” can accomplish on a smartphone camera these days. Look at Apple’s RAW format (not familiar with many others) and maybe even some 3rd party apps like Halide, Pixelmator, or Affinity Photo.
Doesn’t have to be often, but an every-once-in-a-while video touching on the state of mobile photography would be really cool, I think. Cheers!
This was like the old days! I’m not even interested in this camera, but I was entertained, nonetheless.
If they make an XT5 with the knob per function I'll be having that.
I hate menu diving for ISO, shutter etc.
I get that in pro use you have more control over light so you just set the camera to one thing and adjust the light to fit the camera.
But I'm a dorky hobbyist using available light.
but its not really menu diving....you just turn the front or rear dial, no need to ever go into the menu once you've set it up
No street photography camera should ever have a stupid side hinged flippy flappy screen.
Kai got Ultra Instinct on dodging the pigeon 😎
11:32 why the lightining changed to drastically here? I also noticed that it doesn't stay focused on the face.
Super pumped about this, but a little bummed at the same time about the Front/Rear Dial settings. Looking for them to add the ability to add ISO to one of the command dials like the previous cameras via firmware update. Being limited to Aperture and SS doesn’t make much since, given that all native lenses (as far as I know of) have aperture rings. That level of customization really set us apart from other companies. But with this, it makes me feel like we’re heading towards an overly digital set up that takes away from some of what made Fuji so special and different. I think the ISO button is a great addition, as long as our options aren’t taken away. That flexibility with the dials is more suitable for fast paced shooting in my opinion. My set up was Right Index on Front Dial (SS), Thumb on Back Dial (ISO), Left Hand under lens for Aperture - it was so intuitive and fluid as opposed to having to press a button and change the ISO on screen. Too many steps involved just to change ISO.
Would love for this to be worked out so I don’t have to choose the xt5 over it lol
I was annoyed at that at first too but I’m getting used to it. Have the up button on the back set to iso now so it’s a quick activation
I don't like that the click-in front dial was removed. I loved that. Weirdly enough, it eliminated most of the need for me to use the top dials.
Front dial: Shutter speed / exposure compensation
Rear dial: ISO
Lens ring: Aperture
@@BrendanEvan i thought of doing something similar once I found out, and likely will. That way is a little quicker, but it’s still a button to press to then activate an ISO menu on screen, as opposed to just scrolling with the dial and looking at the tiny little ISO numbers at the bottom of the screen.
@@AyeBeAPirate same! I used that as well. Have my top dials on the XT4 disabled because of the customization the front/rear dials allow. A little confused by these move of theirs, it’s a step back in my opinion. Looking forward to ISO-to-dial being added back via firmware
@@AyeBeAPirate I think they removed the click in dials to further enhance the WR of the body and improve the robustness of the dials overall.
Always love your reviews thank you!
I’m excited that Fuji are pushing themselves and consistently making solid new gear.
I’m super interested in the stabe and focus in video mode. I have the XT4 and LOVE it for photography, but I couldn’t deal with how unreliable the above were in video, so shelled out for a Sony a7siii which I still think is insane for video almost 2 yrs later and is my main workhorse for video.
I love the Fuji colours and the shooting experience for photography, so I kept the XT4 and I really enjoy taking it out for the day on a shoot. But I just don’t think it cuts it for hybrid street work. Really interested to see how the HX2 fares in the real world. May consider swapping XT4 out for one, however loosing the top ISO and SS dials would be hard! Let’s see if they bring out an XT5…
In a perfect world I’d have a Sony A1 as main machine for hybrid, use the a7siii as a second colour matched cam for video shoots, and use the XT4 purely for fun and more arty stuff, but I just don’t have the money for an A1!!!. I love how I can use the Fuji simulations in Lightroom for RAW shots and swap them out rather than relying on the baked in HEIC. It’s a game changer for me!
New cameras are always a good thing for moving the industry forward. Great times for camera tech!
Great stuff. And sporting a Speedmaster is a bonus!!
Why did they get rid of the SS and ISO dials?! that was the best thing about Fuji recently!
Nice video with lots of info and two of my favourite presenters. I COULD be tempted but think I am still going to wait for the X-T5. I like, and agree with, your sentiments and comments about the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
DigitalRev nostalgia. Love it!
“Don’t give the game away!” Had the same thing happen to me but at a normal clinic.
🤣You had me laughing thru most of this video! But, it was still informative. Thanks! I already knew the specs from watching the announcement video, but wanted to get your first impressions. Again, thanks so much 🤣🤣🙋♀️
That's amazing, 8k for 2k usd or whatever gbp. Even the r5 is twice that amount. Now just waiting for 8k tv's to come down in price. Of course, to really appreciate it you need a 65" or bigger and I have a small apartment. Condolences to the UK of course. But she was a bit out of touch. But truly dedicated. Not high hopes for the next king. From Norway where we have a truly down-to-earth royal family close to the nation. Still rich, still spoiled, but good people. Now people have to go out and make 8k content! Keep up the vids.
There’s a segment of Fuji shooters apparently pissed off with xh2 getting rid off the dials. But on the serious note, is it going to be viable for fujifilm to keep the xt line alive?
I reckon the X-Pro line and its dials are the safest bet for a photo-first camera with duals, but it does seems hard to imagine another sensible hybrid camera in the lineup that the X-T line fills.
Yeah I think we will at least get an xt5, there are already rumors about it online.
The X-T line is their best known and sold body (along with the smaller X-Txx), of course they're keeping it alive. The people who like those controls will get this 40mp when it's launched later this year... everyone wins.
Dude there would have been a great street photo at 0:43 with the woman getting sliced by a knife in the background. Just saying
the difference is the stacked sensor in the h2s not the processor (they have the same).
Weird pricing, the Leica 47mp SL2 cost far more than the 24mp SL2S, why is it the other way round here? Loathe the idea of a fold out screen on a stills focussed camera
Attached sensor vs non stacked
Flippy screens are great though for general purpose. Easy low angle portraits, great for top-down compositions without climbing on top of a restaurant chair. For street photography I would prefer the X-T3 style screen but this is clearly not a street photography camera.
The best beginning ever LOL
Always enjoy your reviews. Would love a summary, though. How did the eye tracking perform?
It is cheaper than the H2s simply because a stack sensor is more expensive than a high MP one... harder to make. 😉
Now I want and X-Pro 4 with that sensor, AF and battery... would be so nice.
I prefer the XT-4 dials, makes it so different from Sony, Canon and Nikon
loved this vid, kai. hope you're doing well
The drive button being the rubbish bin completely throws me off too!
Love you guys
classic digital rev. the best ✌🏼
Somehow those videos at 25fps look a lot better than the 30fps or 60fps that most videos have here on TH-cam. I guess is the cinematic feeling.
I am excited to try this with wildlife, as the extra sensor resolution effectively extends the range of my lenses. Am curious to see how it holds up for astro since the photosites are physically smaller.
You're giving me vertigo holding that with no strap
1:09 THE ARM O THAT LADY IS INSANE !!!
Still looks as young as he did 10 years ago and not a single grey hair. Oh and the reviews are still as good as every!🤣🤣🤣
1:10 lets appreciate Lok's cameraman workmanship how he didnt ever so slightly pan out to follow the women
Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
1:10 LOOK AT THAT ARM 😨
Focusing of the video is hell!
I love you guys. “The XT5 is for hipsters” 😂😂😂 You are so right!!
I love this channel
Hey Kai, great video! I’m looking to upgrade from my X-T30 to either the new X-H2 or X-T5 for the larger sensor, weather sealing, ibis, and better ergo. I shoot primarily landscape, travel, and street / architecture and don’t shoot any video. The ergonomics of the X-H are really appealing but I worry I’d be overpaying for video prowess I’d never use over an X-T body. Any advice having tried the X-H2 in the metal? Thanks!
What did you end up going with?
Is the XT4 sharper than this one, like it is with the XH2S?
I like Fuji, you get a top tier camera rather than a crippled 3rd level like with Canon.
The lens you put under your arms is making me anxious haha.
My XH-2 is on the truck so Ill have to new toy and see how the lens I love the 14 f2.8 looks at 40mp! that said it will look the same as on the XT-4?
It's Kai!
Watching from Kenya❤❤
It might be just me but the video shifting out of focus a lot is really off-putting
thanks great vid
subbed
for social media do you think a7c or xt5 is better? low light and autofocus and sooc content to the phone (social media)
Kai!!! For family photos and sometimes the zoo and macro. What do you choose? I also own the 50mm f1 and want to buy the 150-600mm next year
Personally, I only have eyes for the X-H2S. I feel like the AF is better on the S, and I don't need the extra resolution. Depends if you prefer having more resolution.
I have the XH2S and for crazy moving kids in relatively dark interiors, it is amazing. Totally different shooting than my XT4.
@@BrendanEvan Thank you for sharing your own experience, definitely a good stress test and more practical than many TH-camrs out there. Which lens do you use for that?
Good 👍 one both OG together doing a review
So, for someone who only really does stills... XH2 or XT5? Removing body price and card cost?
Funny how he says the XT4 isn’t good enough for video yet the XT3 is often used to shoot Amazon Prime series The Boys.
I found this review a little confusing, are you saying the sensor in this camera is full frame medium format or the same size as Fujifilm GFX with crop? Why are there no comparisons made to GFX 100s, these cameras are the only ones like this and deserve comparison.
Why would you compare a $1999 40mp aps-c camera with a $5999 102mp medium format camera? They're different mounts and target audiences
This guy is funny I wish I could meet him one day
Do you think the canon R1 will have 1/80 000 shutterspeed
Great content! You guys are the best guys! I have been watching your reviews for a long time (about 2008) and they are always very instructive and entertaining. Throughout the review I couldn't stop thinking about what camera that would be, the one you've recorded this video. Panasonic S5 is a camera that is worth it.
Did you use manual focus or autofocus on the Panasonic S5 in this video?
Success!!
If you don’t care about video, why buy this instead of a Nikon z6ii or canon eos R? Considering both are full frame much better at low light and same price
If you care about MP, it's the highest MP apsc-c sensor.
The S in Sony cameras is for “sensitivity “. R is for “resolution”. Sensitivity for video, resolution for stills. Great video.
I don't think the X-T5 will have an 8K option but will still use 2 UHS II SD card slots. Bit disappointed that neither of the X-H2 models came with a built in battery grip, I think Fuji missed a trick not doing that with at least one of them.
There's no reason to limit sales by doing that, when they make rugged, solid removable grips for them
You could give Kai the most expensive gear on the planet, and he will treat it the same as your 5 year olds Hotwheels
(Except for Hasselblads.)
Is this a better camera for stills than xt4
With the x-t4 being discontinued (not in the UK yet but I believe in japan) and with how closely priced it is to the x-h2 is the x-t4 even worth it? unless you really can't afford it the x-t4 really does seem over priced now maybe the x-t5 would be cheaper when it does come out compared?
@Sailing Sexy what puts you off it for you?
Personally I don't see a reason to buy it (x-t4) unless it's either a good deal or you really want the manual buttons/dials on top. In the UK it's £1899-£1949 with a lens and the H-X2 is £2300 with a lens. Or £1549 Vs £1899 without a lens. I feel like the extra money is worth it.
How does this man just swing his hands around all over the place holding a camera without a strap, and not have the camera fly through the air ever?
I have all the original f1.4 primes and the 56 f1.2. Am I right in thinking that they are now redundant with respect to Fuji’s new 40mp sensor? I might go back to pin hole photography if I need to keep upgrading my £1000 lenses.
Your comment is now five days old so perhaps you saw the list Fuji released with the supported lenses. I don't remember all the lenses so you are better off looking that up by yourself 😅
Okay, looked up the list now and yeah, you are fucked. The 16, 23 or 35 are not supported. Not even the old 56. So, yeah...go out and buy the f/2 versions or the new ones 😂
Does it bounce? You failed to test that.
is it a good camera for exterior and interior photography?
This video's colour is a little different in terms of grading?
That outro 😂
Nice moon watch
‘X-T5 is for hipsters’: you’re onto us, mate!
Any clue what does T and H mean in X-T and X-H series of cameras?
180,000th of a second is for taking close up pictures of a supernova.
Wow 1.09 💪
Wait, so, why does the XH2s exist?
How does he look exactly the same as 10 years ago?
First time I hear music. Not sure it it becomes for videos like this.
When the doctor said "You've lost a lot of sperm", Kai should have said, "I'm a teenager. What did you expect?" 😂😂
Yabbut, his mom was with him.
