Thank you!
What about you TH-cam presets man
Pls can you share or sell
I just bought the X-S20. I work with the Canon R5 for commercial jobs and was looking for something different for traveling and colors. Loved this Fujifilm option.
Tung you're too good for us before Christmas. I was wondering about this topic in the moment when I was posting comment in your previous video. Wanted to ask you about differences and similarities between X-S20 and X-H2S but not in best 2023 lens video and here we have ❤
HAhah ask and you shall receive! THanks for the support
Great video as always! I have both the X-S20 and the X-H2. One thing people tend to forget to mention are the types of lenses you end up using with a certain body. I am a sports and wildlife photographer, who prefers longer telephoto lenses. The X-H2 is ergonomically perfect when it comes to these bigger lenses. The X-S20 is an amazing camera, jam packed with features for its size and price, but in the ergonomics when married to a larger lens, it starts to show its weakness.
Thanks for sharing this. There are certain things I do left out for the sake of time. I hope my audience is smart enough to do their research after they finish watching my video haha
Amazing man all your videos are clear and straight forward keep doing you brother! Thanks for all the information!
Thank you!
I bought the X-S20 with the 18-120 f4 PZ because I wanted to start developing myself in the world of video. I have just been using the X-E line with prime lenses but since I tried the custom modes, I won't change it for anything now. So when I can I'm going to combine the XS-20 with the X-H2 so I have the best of both worlds. Thanks for your videos, they are great.
Another thing, I put a military green skin from the Alphagvrd brand on my X-S20 and it looked incredible. I don't know if I would do that to the X-H2S but having a lower cost camera allows me to try these things. You should try it with one of yours, it's a good creative option to customize your equipment.
ya i would love to do something like that in the near future
I would go with X-H2S. Now...to figure out whether I want the 16-55 Fujinon VS 18-50 Sigma.
I first had the Sigma, but found it too small (very thin focus ring), but great image!
I switched it with the XF 16-55. Image wise not much of a difference imo, but better build.
I would say, if you travel alot, or making vlogs, go with Sigma. If you need a lens for professional client work, or extreme weather conditions, go with Fuji.
I have both also. Imagine quality looks very similar, for video, the Fujinon I feel is better for zooming while recording if you have to punch in a little. I don’t think they’re parfocal but on the Sigma is very noticeable, on the fujinon kinda looks like it’s parfocal. I paired the Sigma with my XT-5. Perfect combo.
I have the 18-50, i love it. I rented the 16-55, there was no visual difference to me to warrant the cost diff.
Thanks for input guys! I ultimately chose the Sigma. It arrives today with my XH2S~ I picked it because the macro like capabilities will be beneficial for me as I do toy photography as well.
I had the same dilemma. I was able to test the 16-55 and it is seriously a great lens. I ended up with the Tamron 17-70. I have to say that for the money I am very surprised. The decision was simple - I'm waiting for the updated version 16-55. Something like mark 2.
I like XS10.I like flexibility. and easy handling of the XS10 paired with the Tamron17-70mm lens And l’am ready to upgrade to XS20 without hesitation Because I get similar performance to the XH2S for a much cheaper price.
I want one myself!
got the X-S20... awesome body!!!!!!! thats all I can say... fullfilled my personal needs in photography :)
Totally agree!
Enjoyed the video as always. Got the x-s20 recently, and it’s been awesome. The size and ergonomics are great. The custom setting dials make having different photo recipes and video framerates super easy to switch through. And the battery life is amazing.
Just wish it had the digital teleconverter like the xh2s, xt5, and even the x100v has. I might be mistaken, but it seems to also lack the object touch to track in both photo and video
I would love the object touch to track but I'm not hopeful in fujifilm providing to us in a timely manner.
Really torn between these two. Currently have an X-S10 but need a second body. Happy to pay more for the X-H2s, particularly for weather sealing, but like the idea of the same control structure as the X-S10 but with faster processor and more features...darn! Thanks for the review and opinion
No worries! Good luck deciding
If I had to buy a new Fuji today it would be the XH2S hands down…I may buy a used one someday but I’m holding out hope for a flagship XT6S with Reala-ace or whatever it’s called.
x2hs has better sensor, DR, lower high Iso noise, details/colors? , 2 slots, clear image zoom! , second screen, no overheating . The best to have them both! and xs20 as a second camera , overall xs20 is a great camera for this price . First of all I was a hater of it , now i am in love even using and paring with more pro Sony cameras
the best would be to have them both! haha
Both cameras look beautiful 🤤 The XH2S looks quite big.
yessir it's as big as the sony a7iv a full frame camera XD
As you said, for most people the X-S20 is more than enough camera to do the job. And, it's smaller size makes it better for hiking, street photography, and being more inconspicuous. There are two things that I worry about for my use. First, I do lots of hiking with my camera. So, that lack of weather sealing is a big concern. Secondly, as an X-T3 user I'm accustomed to having that second card slot. That micro SD card solution by Nikon was really smart. I think I could be ok without the card slot but not without weather sealing. So, the X-T3 will be with me for a while yet. It's a great camera and I enjoy using it. Thanks for the comparison! Have a great day.
That good ol xt3. If i didnt have this youtube channel i probably still have one haha
@@Iamtongue I don't doubt that. As I've said many times it's way more than capable of doing anything I need to do right now. I still have so much to learn, especially in the video realm. Total newb there! 🙂
The xs20 is more than enough for me photographing the wife and the kids. I don’t need that speed because I’m not photographing cheetahs in the Serengeti. But I have to say that the XH2s is probably the best Apsc camera on the market right now. I don’t think there are any other cameras out there that are at that level. Let me know if I’m wrong!
We need proper fujifilm video camera!!!
And proper lenses for video!!
I bought the X-S20. I think it is a good travel camera.
it really is
I got the xt4.. probably I would go for the xs20 or maybe the xt5😮
good luck deciding haha both are great choices
I would get the XH2s if I had the funds
ahhah
Thanks for this. Do you use an external monitor with the x-s20? I want to use one but am unsure which one will display an image when shooting in open gate
So at 3:16, these shots are lit and graded exactly the same? If so, and maybe I'm just looking for it, but it seems the 20 might be just a littttle bit more clinical, if that makes sense.
Should be a hard choice for me of which to buy, they both look fantastic
More or less the same lighting and I slapped on the same lut.
I went with the XS-20 and invested in a lens. Beautiful pictures and video and very happy with it.
Size is perfect, like you said, compact powerhouse! Agree!
Yess! love to see it!
The older sensor lacks dynamic range. You need to test these camera in harsher lights.
I have said this in other videos.
I was dreaming to get the xh2s but ended up with xs20 because it covers most of my needs. Now, my problem is my pc cant edit 6.2k open gate😂
That's crazy haha whats your computer set up like
@@Iamtongue ive got an older setup which was built for gaming in mind when I built it. Was okay when I was editing and color grading 4k 8bit. Guess time to retire to this system to ease my frustration when editing lol
@@janzelhill7234 ya man 10 bit color gonna need another computer…I kinda got mad that I had to spend more money when I started my TH-cam channel 😅😂
The XS20 is a weird kid. It is a power house, offering pro features but also takes away pro features. It's hardly entry model so it falls into this really weird market. I want to replace mine asap, I hate having one slot on paid gigs. It's a band aid till I find a good steal for another XH2S.
Gimme yours lol
Okay so what about XS20 or the XH2? Which one you guys choosing for video? Coming from the XS10, wish the 20 had a better EVF like Xh2 series..
same thing if you want pro work go for xh2 its more reliable.
Thanks for the video, does the xs20 have that "cinematic video look" ? If yes, means is better than the xt5 for video? I'm talking about the feeling of the look, not the specs
Honestly i don't think i see much of a difference between the xs20 and the xh2s video. And I've been using the XT5 as a video camera lately and I cannot tell if it looks different or not either haha
What are your thoughts on xs-20 vs ac7ii head to head without taking into account price
Both are great man. I would be happy with both. I'll probably do more personal creative stuff with the xs20 and the sony a7cii for more client work.
What about overheating in X-H2S, is it better than X-S20? I remember your tests with X-S20. In mine example overheating mark showed last time after 30 minutes of full HD 30fps. Thought Full HD is safe for long periods of time. Was thinking is it good idea to buy 2 X-S20 for podcast jobs.
OH shit that's nuts. Ya i don't think using it as a podcast camera is a good way to go. Nor I would trust the xs20 to handle that much. That being said, the bigger body on the xh2s manages heat alot better than what is in that compact xs20. You're going to get a better performer in that regard. The most I've ever recorded on the XH2s was 6.2k 24p for about 60mins i had to switch to a second battery but there was no overheating sign whatsoever.
thank you for your video, it's helps to understand some points for me. but that's quite confusing also, so really is af performance somehow comparabale between x-t4 | x-t5 | x-s20 | x-h2 | x-h2s? I have x-e4 right now, like it a lot, but due to shaky hands I need ibis. so I can't figure out is af somehow improved between 4 and 5 generations? can you arrange models above in terms of speed and reliability of af? because there's ton of options like used mint x-h2 vs new x-s20, or even x-t4 and a ton of money left. is ibis also improved from 4 to 5 gen? thanks.
I dont have the XT4 anymore but im sure with firmware updates the ibis got better. But from what i can remember, the last time i used the XT4. The XT5 does seem a bit better.
xs20 for me
same
@@Iamtongue I'll use it for some VFX shots to practice.😀
yeeesss 😃 Baby X-H2S
Yessir!
A $500 difference would be a tough call, 1k difference is a big no for a hobbyist like me. If this is not fir work then i see no reason to get the 2S.
i agree
X-T5 for the win!
ya that camera is cool also haha
I'm torn between xs10 and xt30 ii, what should i get?
xs10 if you want ibis, or xt30ii if you value a very tiny tiny setup.
Hey tongue,
Iam in trouble to decide between xh2(xt5) and a7iv for professional work. Which one would you choose? I love the film Simulation but also the fullframe look.
I have both an A7IV and XT5 and XH2s. The A7IV is my go to for pro work. The auto focus even though is good on the Fuji is nothing like Sony. My Fujis I use more for lifestyle video and photo for my clients. I would def pick the XH2s though which is the one that compares most to the A7IV.
I agree with @yanielacosta9079 that's a good way of putting it.
I prefer a7iv for professional works because of better autofocus and dynamic range.
XH2s
😃
As the XH2s is the only Fuji stacked sensor, there is no baby XH2s.
Thanks captain obvious
Bofa dem
Just get the xh1 and save a ton of money 😂
haha that's not how people's minds work. THEY HAVE GAS
