- I sold all of my Canon EOS R gear to switch exclusively to Fujifilm. I currently have the Fujifilm XH2S, Fujifilm XE4, and several lenses. Here are my thoughts about leaving Canon for Fujifilm. Was it a mistake?

Welcome to Fuji, glad to have you onboard. Without a doubt, the X-H2s is an excelent camera, there's no denying it. I am considering purchasing it myself, as I shoot the Fuji X-S10 and do have a need for faster and more reliable AF, as well as better battery life. I may also wait a bit for the X-T5, it should be a great bang for your buck under $2k .
Great video man! Love my xh2s! Great video. Subscribed! 💪
The colors really pop with your camera brother! Really digging the look.
Renz! Thanks brother, its a fun new journey!
Great video Brady, just ordered a X100V last week and excited to dive more into Fujifilm! (I have an R6). On a similar boat as you where my full time job is mainly editing + shooting with my companies production equipment. So now I’m looking at Fujifilms for more of my everyday personal creative work!
The X100V is such a dope camera! Sounds like we are in a similar boat. All I can say, is I made money selling my canon gear and switching. So, if you do want to make the switch, it is cheaper to move to Fuji from Canon.
@@BradyKeegs definitely thinking about it, good to know someone who else has made the switch!
The colors do look pretty darn amazing!! Thanks for sharing your experience, Brady. And Blue is the cutest thing ever!!!!!!!
Awesome video mate. Keep at it!
I just switched from Sony and am in love with the Fuji image. It takes like 3 steps to get the image right in Lightroom with the fuji files compared to like 100 with the Sony.
Hey Chris,
Im with you 100% Half the time I am not even editing photos just because the JPGS look so good as is, my RAW files are starting to collect dust!
The final nail for me is Canon not allowing third party RF glass. I used to have an X-T3 and had some autofocus trouble. I am hoping the X-H2S solves for that. Going to rent it. I now have an R6 and just really miss that Fuji community, Fuji experience and overall the lightweight/affordable power that comes with the system. I may hang on to the R6 for product shoots or pro portraits in studio but then invest a little more into the X-T30 I kept for fun. I only have one lens for it currently and maybe it’s worth making my R6 pro only and my X-T30 art only in my mind.
I think xt3 could work great for portraits in studio, the problem is in low light or in not controlled light environment thats where r6 or a7iv could shine actually.
Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to decide between the xt5 and the xh2. Others I've considered are z6ii, r6, and a7iv; but I'm an amateur (and 70 yrs old) and don't really want to spend a lot of money or carry around a camera with large lenses. The Fugi A$PC seem superior to other ASPC systems.
bro I literally said the same exact thing..Fuji gotta be putting witchcraft in that little ass sensor 😭because I own the A7iii and the A6100. I recently just got the Fujifilm X-E4 to see what the hype about fuji was and OH BOYYY.. The ability to recover details and edit the colors to exactly what you want is like no other. I planned on upgrading from the A7iii to the IV for my main work, but honestly I think I might sell some gear and go with the X-H2s..(not selling my A7iii tho) could be used as a great backup
Great video.
I had many of the same thoughts as you.
I bought an X-T2 on a whim and absolutely loved it.
So, I have the X-H2 in the mail and I feel like this will be the final piece that transitions me away from Canon.
Hmmm… I have to figure out if I’m going to keep and adapt all my Canon glass or sell them. 🤔
Now, I’m starting to be interested in the GFX line of bodies …. 😜
Nice!!!
Thanks man! Go Rams! 🐏
Just a tip I saw your friends backpack and the zippers are at the top. Always zip and close so the zippers are at the bottom so they never open and your gear does not fallout.
For me Fuji and Nikon are the best. Then difference is the price, the XH2S is $2500, the Z8 is $4000
Hello. In your opinion would the X-H2S be a better choice over the Canon R6 Mark II for high speed photography such as auto and motorcycle racing ? My next decision for my next camera upgrade will mainly revolve around fast and accurate auto focusing. Canon cameras are well known for their incredible autofocus but the reviews on the X-H2S autofocus seem to be pretty darn impressive. I love my XT3 but its autofocus always seems to let me down when I’m at the race track. Your opinion would truly be appreciated..PEACE
I just swapped the same, R6 for XH2s. I have owned 3 Fujis in the past and loved everything but eye AF and shutter readout speeds. The R6 was to fix the AF issue and give FF as well, but i couldn't help miss the Fuji sims and other things like 3 batteries at once. My go to lens on the R6 was the 85 f/2, but i have a 56 f/1.4 for my Fuji now, so there's no loss in DOF control. Fuji fixed all the prior Fuji shortcomings with the XH2s and added stuff like super rez. Over 2 hours of 4k per battery is insane. The only way i'll upgrade from here is with another Fuji that simply has better specs, likely many years away.
I really agree about Canon is for studio work (technical) and Fuji is more for creative work (artistic). I also switched from Canon for initially between Sony FX30 or A7SIII but ended up with X-H2S after read about CineD's sensor lab test of the X-H2S where they mentions its DR & Latitude is better than C70 or even A1 and comparable to Venice 2. Gerald Undone even showed that it can gives us 14 clean DR by recording in ProRes and add NR in post. That is the biggest selling point for me. I didn't get the X-H2 because of the shadow clipping in 4k60p non HQ video mode while the H2S doesn't suffer from that problem.
For me Canon mirrorless cameras are dead because they are the least in term of DR than others, and the lens prices are atrocious (the higher ends are way too expensive and the entry level are meh) while they doesn't allow third party lenses for us to alternate from the entry level RF lenses.
The 17-70 looks great! I have a 16-55mm. How do you compare the two?
Love this!
Do you have a video of how you setup your camera for street and family photos? Can you assign iso to a scroll wheel?
How limiting is the xh2s compared to the xe4 due to its larger size and weight in terms of reaching for a camera to follow your daughter around? I want a single camera solution for both photos and video to document, my family, daily life, trips, etc. I tried a two camera solution, x100v for stills, and Sony ZV1 for video. Found limiting because didn’t always want to carry two cameras around. I’m thinking possibly Sony a 7C. But I really like the Fuji experience. Thinking of X H2S as a single camera documentary machine. But I’m just concerned about the size and weight, making me not wanna grab it and take it as often as I did, even with the x100v.
When it comes to video at least, not sure about the R3, but the R6ii or R5C can't touch the X-H2S dynamic range. The C70 is in the same range of DR though.
But R6II and R5C are full frame. Do you think the XH2S have better DR?
@@amermeleitor Yes. Just go look up the scores done by Gerald Undone. The XH2S outperforms the entire Canon RF line apart from cinema cameras like the C70 by about 1 stop. The R5C has WORSE dynamic range. See cammackey too for his real world examples.
@@amermeleitor Full frame doesn't automatically equal better sensor. Look up photons to photos. Have a look at Panasonic GH5 vs Canon RP. A Micro Four Thirds 1/4 the size beats the RP in dynamic range.
Some poeple here change from the r6 to the xh2 s, does the AF on the Fuji reach the AF from the r6 ? I mean, the stacked sensor should do a good job.
if you were to buy a camera today for documentary/ vlog content, what camera would you choose, fx3, ev-1, canon 6 mark ii, or any other suggestion. I also take pictures occasionally great content
That’s a great question. If you aren’t doing professional work but want professional quality the ZVE1 is unmatched. If you are doing mainly professional video the FX3 is AMAZING, especially with the latest firmware update (I have one)
If you are in the Canon camp the R6ii is also a powerhouse
That Fuji is so pretty😍 gonna secure a x100v here soon🤌
YESSSSS. You're going to love the X100V, perfect everyday walk around camera. Its a big F U to smart phone photography lol
Okay you got me thinking with that BlackMagic RAW 👀
RIGHT? It is only external recording, but dude, how insane is it nonetheless?
I’m very skeptical of flog 2 base iso. Seems high. Am I wrong? I’m with you, everything I do is for art and passion. I also am feeling the want to ditch my R6, but I do have a c70. I’m wanting the Fuji with the 17-70 for photo and video daily fun and TH-cam stuff….
FLog2 definitely looks great, just not ideal in harsh sunlight, even the noise has a filmic look. Gonna be honest, C70 is a beast and you’re in good hands.
I do have the 17-70 and I can confirm, it’s a badass lens. You’ll love that. All in all, it’s an easily smaller kit
@@BradyKeegs I’m just thinking of selling off the R6 for the XH2S. The r6 is ok, but I think the Fuji would make a better walking around cam.
@@RetconCommander it’s totally up to personal preference, but in my opinion, the XH2S is far superior over the R6. There are certain things that makes Canon special, but I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be happy with the XH2S.
Only issue I see for you is having redundancy with lenses because you will hang on to your RF/EF glass for the C70. If you’re not worried about it, then that’s an awesome combo to have.
@@BradyKeegs Thank you for your time and knowledge around this. It’s something that’s been heavy on my mind!
@@RetconCommander absolutely man. Go give me a follow on IG or Twitter. @BradyKeegs let’s stay in touch. Would love to see what you end up doing!
I left sony for fuji, sold all my sony gear and lenses and bought the Fuji Xh2s, and I absolutely love it, the only thing I absolutely hate is the IBIS, so I just turn it off, ibis in this camera is really wobbly, other than that, i'm so glad I made the switch, it's a beast of a camera
Welcome to Fuji 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Welcome to the Fujifilm family!
RF misses you too 😜
BRADY!!!! give me one thing you don’t like about fuji, I like those vlog shots 🔥
I just LIKED, COMMENTED AND SUBSCRIBED
hahahaha do it for the cat! Appreciate ya man! I will definitely answer your question on dislikes in next week's full review.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate you, JD ❤️
I shoot almost all the Fuji bodies and lens from the XT3 generation for a year. Fuji has some great quality for the $. TBH, the X-Trans sensor (not sensor size) made me move off Fuji. The processing of those files (IMO) is not very good. The wormy files and the need to use Fuji's raw convertor to properly process these files is something that I feel breaks it for me.
Never experienced wormy files.
Do you use Capture One?
@@Eyeofkamau The wormy files was due to a defect in Lightroom years ago. It hasn't been a problem for years but people still trot it out even though it was Adobe's bug to begin with.
X-E4 + X-H2s combo is the best there is 😄
Dude. It is such an amazing combo. X-E4 is the perfect walk around daily, XH2S is the work horse
Agreed! those two cameras are amazing… do get the thumb rest for the x-e4 though- the ergonomics of the small camera improve alot with that
Blackmagic 6k PRO (No Auto Focus) Vs Fuji Xh2S 6k(Auto Focus) with Blackmagic Video Assist for BRAW. Let the fight begin. Comments please
Quick question: How is it 'obvious' that you're not in Sacramento? Not trolling, just wondering.
how does the size and weight of the xh2s compare to the r6? can you feel a difference?
The XH2S is considerably lighter than the R6, it is also a smaller body with smaller native lenses. I do notice a huge difference. Despite the XH2S being smaller and lighter, it still does have nice thick grip that feels pretty secure
@@BradyKeegs Isn't the difference in weight only 20 grams? 660g for the FUJI to 680g for the Canon?
The real difference in weight would come down to lenses I'm guessing?
@@Fedorevsky there is no difference in the weight, he dumb or lying.
Just swapped in Canon R6 for Fuji xh2. The R6 has incredible AF and face,eye traking but... the dynamic range is poor, blown out highlights all the time, my old fuji xt3 is better, even just jpegs. The batt life on xh2 is amazing and the colours are fabulous 👌. The Canon you can't link spot metering to the af point! My biggest gripe with the Canon, it protects highlights by making images under exposed, so you have to always lift the shadows by 2 stops... this creates bad noise even at low iso's. The xt3 and xh2 do get this ever. Full frame disappointed 😞 happy to be back with Fuji now.
not to be rude but blown out highlights sounds like a skill issue not necessarily a camera issue
@@KAIROSMMA known DR with the R6, less so with R6II. Was always really poor on the 6D dlsr. You can get around it with exposing to protect highlights, but you have to lift the shadows in post... increases noise though. The metering to be fair, exposes darker images to protect them, but I prefer brighter images that my Fuji gives and without blow outs.
the spaces you say that you prefer Canon for - the GFX rules those spaces, no competition!
Sony has the best glass on the market
ok cat was convincing getting fuji
“I’ve never really liked Sony cameras” then switches to Sony
9 min video with 2 min intro before you you get started? Thumbs down.
thumds down you commend
"Fuji is Aps-c size sensors..." Wrong! Fuji is making Medium sensor size cameras as well. Chack your facts before posting, please.
Lol dude, for sake of the video I was talking about the APSC line. Check your tone before commenting please.
