This presentation is another fantastic example of how you differentiate your observations from that of other camera reviewers! This review will be sited for years to come as the definitive examination of the Fujifilm XH-2S!
Wow, no comments yet? You've done another excellent detailed review. Thank you for providing this comparison to the XH1. I'm reading lots of positive H2s reviews. It is very tempting!
@@MaartenHeilbron have a great time! My 3rd great-grandfather was from Portugal. He was kidnapped and when his family couldn't raise the ransom, he was sold to a merchant ship and spent 4 years in involuntary servitude (slavery).
I really do like your friendly way of reviewing. Even I knew before that the 2s is not for me, as I’m still very happy with my X2 and XH1, it was a pleasure to watch this video. I’m looking forward to seeing your review on the upcoming XH2, which might be an interesting upgrade… Stay healthy!
Thanks as always Maarten. For someone like me who shoots equal amount of video and stills, I do think the dynamic range improvements and upgraded IS, make it a worthwhile upgrade from my XT3. On the video front few competitors imo, but for stills, full frame seems to be pulling me back as iq, compression and overall look of the images still seems to have an added level of beauty and art to them.
Great video Maarten. Most awaited video for an xh1 user. 🙂 Like: very fast sensor, improved grip, new battery, upgraded specs overall. Don't like: same IQ almost from xt2 (no real upgrade), flippy screen, different media type slot, same small d-pad and old top LCD (no gfx50s ii version), still no sensor cover option...and, price! X-H1 became famous on the market while going low on price. Here you have similar price to R6, A7iv, and so on. Maybe they're not on par with some Xh2s specs but still very very effective cameras.
Thanks, always nice to see your avatar, always a pleasure to read your kind words. Your comments are all valid - in my mind fast burst and improved stabilization would be the major considerations, but for many it’s the film sims that will push them. Otherwise, wait to see what the X-H2 brings.
As always, thank you for the immensely detailed and time intensive efforts. I would love to see a test of if/how the 16-55 and 50-140 focus rings can be adjusted for their speeds in the setting shown at 24:00 . Unless that's something limited to PZ lenses for now. But considering the XF lenses are all electronically coupled, it would be nice to have this option for our favorite still lenses. It's the only reason I still use my legendary Sigma 17-50 with an adapter when shooting video. (Not the best focus ring feedback versus the 18-35 but fits my budget) I hate manual focusing with the Fuji lenses.
I appreciate your kind words. I’d be surprised if those lenses work without some firmware upgrades - but you’re right, it probably could, as the camera can control the focus systems.
Thank you for the xh1 vs xh2s comparison. I am considering upgrading from the xh1 and your video has given me a lot to consider. What's your opinion on upgrading? Also one question regarding the focus mode button. Does it toggle through S, C, M or do you have to turn a dial? Thanks again.
For me, it’s an upgrade I’d definitely make. However, if battery life, burst rate and the video modes don’t do it for you - the X-H1 remains a fine camera. It’s not a toggle - although that would be an improvement and Fujifilm may change that in firmware.
Great review as always! I'm a X-S10 user and very happy so far (as I don't know any better) LOL! But I'm always interested to see what new Fuji gear has to offer . Your reviews are always so detailed and entertaining, thanks for all the time you put into these videos.
Thanks for this review. Was it worth the wait for me? Nope. I stick to my XH1 and XT3. The only pro for me is the battery life and that's it. I will switch maybe if they start making HDR camera's, until that...no switch for me.
I would think battery life is one of the easier aggravations to overcome (by buying a second battery). On the other hand, improved stabilization, faster burst, and new video features aren’t as easily remedied.
A detailed, thorough and informative review as always. Really appreciate the in depth comparisons. Would love to get my hands on one of these. A question if I may...some of the shortcomings like stepped exposure shifts while using zoom lenses - are they the result of the body or lenses? It's something I've seen in quite a lot of early review videos just after the announcement made at the X-Summit.
Great comparison video! As a photographer that rarely shoots video, I'll stick to my Made-In-Japan/Analog-Dial/Small-Battery-Equipped/X-Trans-III X-H1. Snapped it up on Fred Miranda for $600 right after the X-T3 was released and the seller was motivated to get rid of it. I'm appreciating this "one-off" even more now.
Maarten, thanks for the very detailed comparison. Very useful to be able to compare these two cameras. Given the X-H2s is a little shorter and the controls are somewhat different how do you find the handling on the new model? Overall do you have a preference for which one feels better?
The differences are very minor on those issues. The main improvements - moved Q key, additional function assignments, moved rear dial were mentioned in the video.
Hello Maarten ... Joachim here from Germany ... thanks for this comparison! It´s greate like all your videos. I love them. I habe the x-h1, and I don´t need the x-h2 S. 4K 30 is realy enough. I have also the x-t3 . It´s also enough. Sometimes I want more megapixel for cutting photos. So I wait for the next cameras from fuji. the x-h2 should have 40 megapixel. I wait for the comparison. But also I think next year some big cameras will following. I think no new camera makes always better photos. Faster, more features and any other things are helpfull. Yes. But a realy good photo need not more features - need only better eyes and ideas. So my mind. Thanks for this comparison. Was very helpfull und interesting. I love my x-h1. Greetings from Germany .. Joachim
Thanks for your kind words. I would agree. The biggest improvement to your photos will come from your own improvement as you try and learn and acquire new skills. Thanks for your kind words, please say hello to all my friends in Germany!
Thank you for another excellent review but even after all the new features of the XH2S, I Believe that it’s not enough new features to warrant an upgrade at this time. I also prefer the way the XH1 video quality looks in you comparison to the XH2S. Thanks again
So instead of just switching the focus mode by feel (one and done), you have to press the button and rotate some wheel while looking at the screen (since you don't always remember the exact mode selected)... I hope that illustrates the frustration.
Right. I think the thought is that you would use the custom controls - but I agree with your sentiment. I’m very used to using the front dial by feel as you suggest.
Great video Maarten! Quick question - when you scroll between the various Custom modes (1-7) does the camera display the custom labels on either the top or back screen? Thanks!
I applaud your use of “cage match” despite it very nearly resulting in my launching a mouthful of coffee towards my monitor. :) Hope the Frozen North is treating you well, sir.
Thanks, nice to read your kind words. I’m trying to write more interesting titles. And at the moment the frozen north is sitting on a patio in Porto sampling the local beverages.
So detailed, thanks very much Maarten! The only question I had that didn’t seem to be answered was a very specific one - How are the dials compared to other Fujifilm cameras? I enjoyed/didn’t notice the dials really on X-T2, X-Pro2, X100V. Nice and smooth rotation, somewhat dampened, subtle clicks. X-T3 and X-T4 however drive me nuts. They feel cheap and slow, they loudly clicky-clack as you turn them, and they just annoy me. It’s been too long since I had the X-H1, so I can’t recall how those were, but it’d be nice if X-H2s goes back to smoother, “nicer” feeling dials! 😊
I'm sorry, that's a difference that I haven't noticed. As the camera has been returned to Fujifilm, I'm afraid I can't do a side by side for you on that.
@@MaartenHeilbron Bah! I apparently didn't hit the final "submit" button on the rental order (there's no record of it and no charge?), so it looks like I don't get to try one this weekend after all. 😭 Will follow up when I do manage to get my hands on one - Enjoy the X-H2!
Thank you so much for this. I am an X-H1 shooter mainly with manual / vintage lenses, so naturally I rely on focus peaking and can't imagine living without "punching in"; with the removal of the punch-in feature to dial in focus how would /could you do this quickly on the 2s? Thank you in advance!
@@MaartenHeilbron Precisely, this is my concern, being that there are no electrical contacts with vintage lenses used via adapters, there isn't a way for that feature (which I loathe anyway) to be used. Punching in, locking focus, and punching back out is my filming style. I don't use the auto-focus check feature- and keep it turned off with my XF native lenses- because I'm often adjusting exposure manually by turning my filters and it doesn't take much to engage the zoom-in. Really annoying for my personal style of shooting. I can't imagine Fuji wouldn't have thought of this issue for shooters like myself... but if there isn't a way to manually punch in and out at my desertion this particular model would be as useful as a beautiful brick for me. haha. Thank you for your time sir and I hope to find some good news regarding this issue. You're the best!
While the prices won’t be stable forever, the style of the X-H1’s physical controls and the fact that the image sensor is only a generation or two behind means its not losing as much value as its four year old status would suggest. In a way, the X-H2s is a re-vector of the H series, not an upgrade.
@@MaartenHeilbron I 100% agree. It is just one of those badge on honor things. It is probably very silly to worry about, but I am a strange guy so lol. Thanks Maarten. I always appreciate your reviews and videos. I hope you have a great day.
A “flagship” Fuji camera that is Made in China. Ummm, ok. 🙄🤣 The Fuji products coming out of China are inferior to the ones made in Japan. If that wasn’t true, why would they make anything in Japan?
@@RandumbTech Let's see: cost? availability of nearby parts suppliers? availability of production facilities in Japan (many damaged by storms, etc. of recent years)?
That would be interesting - but unless the external device can read from the USB-C as if it was a webcam (less control but reasonable quality), probably best to record on SSD via HDMI.
@@MaartenHeilbron the Lumix GH6 is going to have that functionality in a later firmware update. I hope that it's also true for X-H2S via USB-C since SSD is cheaper and faster than CF-Express type B. Tried finding online user manual but there is none
When I list the things I actually use on the XH1 camera I soon realise the answer is not much compared to all the gizmos & useless things that are provided on the XH1, they are just not required and that also applies to other makes of camera. I shoot manual with vintage lenses, I don't use video at all and I own one digital lens 16mm that I've never used. The point I'm trying to make is, it would be nice if Fuji just made an all manual camera B&W without being over engineered. Hmmm where have I heard that before, Leica M10. But without the silly price tag.
Although you may not use them, that does not make them useless. Potentially, a day will come when you realize the value in one or more. In the meantime, they don't interfere with your use of the camera in the workflow you prefer. However, I do agree, and have from time to time encouraged Fujifilm to make a basic camera that doesn't include video and keeps the feature set to a minimum. The issue is that because the hardware already has those features, it's unlikely to reduce the cost, which means the camera won't be competitively priced - unless you compare it to Leica.

Thanks as always Maarten. For someone like me who shoots equal amount of video and stills, I do think the dynamic range improvements and upgraded IS, make it a worthwhile upgrade from my XT3.

Yes, that will be more fun, and likely simpler as they’ll both have a fairly current feature set and menu configuration.

Very Nice Presentation . . Thank You !
Thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated
Nice that Fuji updated this one camera. What about everything else in the X universe that needs an update?
The universe is unfolding as it should.
I am looking for xh1 cage and I can’t find it.. can I use xh2s cage for xh1?
probably not - but maybe it depends on the specifics of the cage. i assume you looked at smallrig?
I have an x-h1, should I sell it now before the prices completely plummet? The x-h2s looks awesome.
While the prices won’t be stable forever, the style of the X-H1’s physical controls and the fact that the image sensor is only a generation or two behind means its not losing as much value as its four year old status would suggest. In a way, the X-H2s is a re-vector of the H series, not an upgrade.
Hey! Ive always wondered what lens hoods you use.
I have never used any lens hood other than the one that came with the lens. Which do you use?
Awesome & Thanks Sir :)
Most welcome, I appreciate your kind words.
I am still photographer. So I'm not interested in this new camera.
Maarten Great video as always appreciated, God bless you man and your family.
Good decision. Always nice to hear from photographers who consider their purchases carefully.
Dang! I was really hoping for a "Made in Japan".
Yes, well. I would suggest that Fujifilm’s quality control is the same regardless of country of origin.
@@MaartenHeilbron I 100% agree. It is just one of those badge on honor things. It is probably very silly to worry about, but I am a strange guy so lol. Thanks Maarten. I always appreciate your reviews and videos. I hope you have a great day.

@@MaartenHeilbron the Lumix GH6 is going to have that functionality in a later firmware update. I hope that it's also true for X-H2S via USB-C since SSD is cheaper and faster than CF-Express type B.
Tried finding online user manual but there is none
@@kmwong1786 Right. I'm also waiting for the manual. As it was not mentioned, I don't expect this functionality to be available.
Reminds me of the changes from xe3 to xe4.
Oh? It's more than that, but yes, there is a certain "reset" element that wasn't entirely expected.
A X-T1 still is a formidabele camera. I own xt2 and xh1, both excellent.
Always nice to hear from a photographer who's pleased with their kit and not chasing after the shiny new thing.

I really dislike how Fuji is getting rid of controls on the body of the camera. For me dails are so much easier than going into a menu.
I agree, however, the alternative presented in the X-H2s with the custom controls is also an interesting method.
It would be amazing if Fuji had Full frame.
They do better than full frame with the GFX series.
👍
Thanks for your kind emoji
Fuji blesses the control freaks with granular control
Most cameras have similar (and some have better) controls. Fujifilm provides an easier starting point with the film simulations.
@@MaartenHeilbron it's definitely a mixed bag. Was hoping for a new, updated interface, but then all camera companies are way behind other sectors
@@tjkrueger2655 An interesting observation.
why compare a camera from 4 years ago?
Mostly because it’s a natural comparison - for those who own an X-H1 and are deciding whether it’s an upgrade they need.
@@MaartenHeilbron Also to show that, surprisingly, not much has changed. 🤣
@@RandumbTech Indeed, current Fujfilm photographers will feel at home!
then we will have minimal to no improvement in ISO, that will be very sad indeed
Have not yet done side by side ISO tests (as the X-H2s is not final firmware) but don’t imagine any significant difference.
