It's in the difference price right?, em6l is 100$, sr5 is 150$

Better this, technicality above em6l. Its same class with truthear nova but with different tonality

My canon r5 won’t autofocus in those same conditions. My XT4 often misses the subject My XH2S will say face detected but the face is out of focus

@@robmcd Exactly. That’s not the time for AF on any camera. Is the Sony/Canon AF better? Sure it’s more accurate, but the Fuji is plenty accurate, and I actually like the adjustability, as they allow you to create smooth and slow focus racks on the Fuji which look super cinematic. I think people LOOK for AF issues more with Fuji. If I had a nickel for every creator I see leave Fuji for Sony because of AF, pointing out any little time their videos hesitate, then sharing videos shot on their Sonys with the same occasional focus blip but not seeming to notice, I’d be a wealthy man.

Yea that's a totally fair point, but honestly, it really depends on the use case scenario. I don't think the XH2S has a far superior video capability, it is good, but far superior seems to be a stretch in my opinion. But that being said, its to each their own yea, so depends on everybody's use case, where in my case, I wasn't pointing straight at a white wall, but it was a wall with ornaments, so the XH2S should've locked focus on at least some of the ornaments and text, and yet it was hunting. When a face came into the shot, it was still hunting, I didn't show this clip as it was for a client and would have broken some contractual stuff. And maybe you didn't have an issue with that, which I mentioned in the video, it could be a bad firmware before the gig, fortunately I had enough clips where the gig wasn't fully ruined. Regarding IBIS, I've set it in so many ways and yet I'm always having to fight with it. Whether I was using a full manual lens or a native Fuji lens. And honestly, I just think it wasn't the right camera for me for my type of work tbh, I shoot mainly events where I have to run and gun it, and provide video of good quality at a low file size. I don't do too much TVCs or documentaries, but I do think this is the right camera for me mainly cause it does what I need it to do without too much hassle and overthinking about my storage space. Thank you for your opinions on this, really great to have a discussion like this, but these are just my thoughts on the camera. I think the XH2S is a great camera, but I personally think they both have their pros and cons, and at this point in time, it feels like the XH2S has more cons than pros for my use case.

@@ANTHONYFERNANDO good point, honestly the only thing keeping me from selling my xs20 is the opengate and codecs, as for autofocus - I defnitely miss the sony run and gun accuracy on AF.

Yes, I think having perfect autofocus is far, far overrated as well. I can't remember having any professional shoot ruined by focus issues, not with my X-H2S, not with my X-T3 and not even with my Canon T3i using manual focus. Having flawless autofocus is a great luxury but definitely not a 'must' when you are shooting with intent. I also haven't had any issues with the IBIS except for some occasional wobbling with wide lenses. It works great for my handheld use. And having all those codes is not overwhelming to me - I will just set different custom modes to different aspect ratio's, Eterna or F-log2 and different resolutions. I rarely have to change a single parameter, mostly I will switch ProRes to HEVC when needing the space (and I definitely think shooting in HEVC will give manageable file sizes). But the FX-30 is no slouch and I definitely respect people's decisions to get another camera. I just think gear gets so hyped up these days and people - even myself - think that having 'that' camera will change all issues or improve video's drastically. I typically only upgrade when my gear stops to work or is 5+ years old, clients often don't notice the difference, only we do. Those 'Why I changed from [x] to [y]' almost start to look like 'conversion' stories from a person who went from the one religion, to the (better) other one. But I think creativity and expertise are far more important and valuable and that not changing to easily to other brands when you run into limitations will culture character and patience.

Huh, honestly I find the FX30 so much better to work with than my old A6500, and even the ZV-E1, from what I understand the FX30 and A7IV share a similar sensor, just in a cropped factor whereas the A7IV is full frame, and for video I’ve heard it’s better in its super35 mode anyway.

@@kwillimNo FX30 and a6700 share the same APS-C sensor. A7iv has a full frame 33mp sensor, which does perform significantly better. Yes, FX30 for video has certain features, but the image quality, NAH.

@@CO8848_2 haha fair enough, to each their own I reckon. I still love the quality of the FX30 at its price point, so that's a win-win for me, glad to hear your input though 😄

@@kwillim to be fair, FX is a professional camera, I bought it from a working pro and sold it to a working pro. And it's pretty good image, as Sony aps-c sensor are certainly a bit better than Canon aps c sensors, particularly low light and dynamic range wise. During day light, or not in high frame rates, it is almost the same as full frame. But I shoot in door at night 70 percent of the time with no lighting, so then it doesn't quite measure up

@@CO8848_2 ah I see your issue with the FX30 now, I think the FX30 works best with really good lighting, but even then when shooting events I have no issues until I get to dark areas with no lighting. The dynamic range is decent, but would still require good set of lights to compensate for it though.

Oh man, I was honestly on the same boat for a long time, really fighting for Fuji, but honestly, as soon as I tried out the Sony, it was a night and day difference. But I always say the best camera is the one you have, but me doing mostly event work and run & gun stuff, the Sony just made so much more sense.

@@kwillim I think it really depends on what you want from a camera. I might compare it to coffee machines. Some people like a fully automatic espresso machine which delivers very good, not excellent, but very good coffee with just a press on a button. Other people might prefer a more finicky, more complex manual device that can give great if not excellent espresso, but needs more skill and thought in order for it to work out well and it might mess up sometimes. The coffee machine doesn't have the consistency and ease, but it has more charm and a potentially more unique end product. I think Sony is the automatic device, Fuji is the manual one. I am fine with compromising on autofocus comfort if it gives me an experience and/or end result that is in some way different from the bunch. The X-H2S is also a very capable and not the least very joyful photography camera, which for me gives it a real benefit above the FX30 for my hybrid use. Regardless, I feel like the S5II, FX30 and X-H2S are all in this same league of very capable, high-quality video machines that deliver stunning imagery and I think their results have some similar feel in a way. I would be happy to pick any of these camera's for my video work.

If anything is "unrepairable", out-of-focus is un-repairable, while color, can mostly be fixed to a large extent.

@@BTMovieSecondChannel Spot on about 'automatic vs manual' analogy. To Sony's credit their autofocus continues to set the gold standard. If you NEED autofocus, Sony should be at the top of the list. The area where Sony continues to be the worst is out of box color science despite all their improvements over the year. RAW, LOG, etc you have to work harder to get the same result that you'd get from a CaNikon, Panasonic, Fujifilm, etc.

@@jimizell that’s an interesting thought, and agreed, auto and manual varies depends on use, but I found I had to work a lot harder to get F-Log2 to work compared to S-Log3, especially in DaVinci. But like I mentioned in the video, it really depends on your use case, the biggest thing for me, as someone who shoots events, is reliable AF and the smaller and easier to work with files, while not having to compromise on quality.

Definitely! Great B-Cam for sure especially if you have an FX3!

Thank you for watching! Regarding the battery issue, you'll have to leave a fully charged battery in your X-T3 for a few days, for some reason the Fujifilm cameras need the battery charged and in the camera, even when you're storing it. That's the only way I've managed to fix that issue, leave it in the camera, leave it in off for a few days, fix up the settings to your preference and then go out shooting. And don't forget to leave the battery in when storing it! The charge will dissipate after a few days with no battery.

@@kwillim@kwillim I appreciate the feedback, Kenneth. I will try it out.

Personally, I feel like all cameras will suffer a bit at 1080p, but the Fuji suffers quite heavily with noise at 1080p

Honestly, when I first moved to Fujifilm from Sony, that was one of my biggest worries, but I found the XH2S’ AF is pretty good for what I need it to do - documentary, narrative and talking head. So what I would suggest is maybe rent it if you can and give it a try!

@@kwillim okay perfect! Thank you for the response!

Mate, you must be a psychic cause a new video is about to drop about this soon. So stay tuned!

ruclips.net/video/3PR7xbOh9Kk/видео.html

No worries at all! Glad you found it informative! 😄

I’m not entirely sure about bird photography, but I would recommend the XH2S for its AF, if you’re comparing the XH2 and the XT5 they pretty much have the same sensor so that’s your pick.

Good question for another video!

Great question, the XT3 has dual card slots whereas the XT30 and XS10 only has one, the XT3 does 10-bit 4:2:0 internally for video whereas the XT30 and XS10 is only 8-bit 4:2:0, the XT3 also does 4K60p but the XT30 and XS10 only goes up to 4K30p. But I’ll also mention the XS10 does have IBIS which the XT3 and XT30 does not.

Yep, agreed. But still kills it for video though.

Would you recommend the X-t4 for video?

@@maximus6497 I think the X-T4 is pretty good for video, but it has the same issues with X-T3. If you have the money, or are willing to save up a little bit more, then I would highly recommend the X-H2/S systems instead.

Except that there are broadcast professionals that use it for videography when a RED, Ursa, or C500 attracts too much attention. I've used it in hospitals and court buildings to avoid attention (at their suggestion). Resolve Studio handles Flog and FLog2 very well. Still think the H2s is better though

@@kwillim Thankyou so much for the reply, so I’m looking for a hybrid camera for documentary work, what would you recommend for a around about £1000 budget?

Out of curiosity, what about the colours that you hate?

@@kwillim colors do not render in natural tones to me. There is always something off (or what I refer to as some wacky color) and require lots of editing to get desired results. I use LR and Photoshop and am quite proficient at it. I also have used Capture One but don't find that it makes a tremendous difference. I do shoot in RAW + JPEG . As regards JPEG images, I've experimented heavily as well.

I guess the appeal of Fujifilm cameras is the film like look, as I said, similar to older film stocks like Fujicolor, Natura, Pro400H etc. and I definitely find Sony and Nikon to give the most neutral tone, where Canon leans more towards red.

@@kwillim I am in the market for a Nikon at this point. I think Nikon has the best color rendition. I'll look at a Sony also. Thanks.

Well tbh the XT5 is just the XT3 with a new sensor, I think it also depends what you do professionally, I personally don’t like the look of a Sony camera, hence why I switched from Sony to Fuji.

@@kwillim Nothing pro yet. Though, it would be nice. My decision for Sony had to do with availability of lenses and low light capabilities. I like shooting the aurora here in Alaska. If you were shooting jpeg with Sony I get the move to Fuji. Who knows, might just keep the Fuji around as a smaller option.

@@freedomslight9580 Let me surprise you, I went to iceland with the xt4, shoot everything, and I am wildlife photographer. My secret is to have a rubber cover over the xt4. I actually live very near from the beach, and usually go to the "sierras " in my country (lots of dusty roads) ... Have been using the camera without any troubles at all, even in wet and humid Miami where, after getting out of the rental place, with AC my canon got humidty for longer time than the fuji, I love that camera. :)

I started on Arri and Nikon film cameras. My BF gave me a XT3 and I love that it goes everywhere without attracting attention. I'm currently demoing an XT5 for a NY university. Its perfect for my hand size, the quality is excellent, and the workflow works fantastic in Davinci Resolve and Capture One. The only other camera I'd like to add is a XH2s - of if I was very very rich and had a bodyguard - an Arri Alexa.

Nice camera, bad battery, still takes nice pictures and videos, it is a classic

No worries at all, I think that depends on what you want the audience to focus on, if you’re focused on the bike, then definitely the bike, but if you’re focused on the person then definitely face detection.

No worries, I didn’t say slow mo in 1080p is better, but you get 200fps in 1080p and only 100fps in 4K

@@kwillim Thank you! Very informative video.

No worries at all! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@kwillim the XT4 slow mo is better then SH2s if you see videos on it and I may get a XS20

Glad you enjoyed the video! I would suggest checking out Film Riot on RUclips before you decide on getting a Skillshare subscription, there’s a plethora of knowledge on filmmaking here on RUclips. Once you’ve got an idea of the basics, your only limit would be your imagination.
