Awesome review. I don’t know if you have any travel luggage handy, but would you be able to confirm if it fits over the extendable handle? This would be extremely useful when traveling through airports etc.

I really appreciate this video. I'm in the market for a new camera and there are so many things I like about Fugi. I don't like the size of the FF lenses and I love having the aperture ring on the lense. But there has been so much bashing of Fugi auto focus recently it makes me very reluctant to buy Fugi. I've given thought to getting an OM1ii but fear I would be disappointed with low light performance of micro 4/3rds. Do you feel Fugi will eventually get up to speed? Or for a "general purpise" amateur would you make another recommendation?

Amazing amazing video! It was really helpful. I've been dead set on buying the Fujifilm Xs20 as my first camera since last year but just because of the autofocus (and maybe ibis too) I've been so much confused, i almost decided to go for the a6700 but this video shows that i just have to get better with the camera, it might let me down sometimes but that should be fine. But still what do you say? I'm a beginner and i plan to use it for just personal use like family, travel, college, maybe in future some personal level filmmaking. Please give your view, it would be a big big help.

Even in your video it's not acceptable for a 1000$+ camera to hunt focus like this...

I think it's not so much about how desperately one needs the Fujifilm's Auto Focus, it's more about realising that Fujifilm doesn't seem to bother that they are miles behind their AF technology. And that's what most users are freaked up about, including myself. We all want that our favorite brand is on top of the game and being dead serious about it. And it's not only about Fujifilm AF. They really should also take a closer look at their menu system, which is a failure and a joke in 2024. I don't rely need the AF, because I love my MF lenses more than I'd care about how good the AF actually performs.

Its 2024 and we are still talking about the same issues with fujifilm....they are not going to fix it. Wild thing is, if they did what sony, and canon are doing they would out sell all of those brands easy.

The new Canon is supposed to stay locked on to the chosen subject it's coming!

Definitely feel better about sticking with Fujifilm. I don’t need crazy fast AF ATM but if/when I do I’m still going to revisit this, but I might be using 3rd party lidar based AF then too, so I’ll just wait and see. The other thing is I kept hearing though that the X-T30 (I think) had some unique AF feature that was better but it’s not on any other Fujifilm camera?

“I don’t miss shots where I’ve lost a client” But you said you did miss a shot you had to re do but thankfully the client was a good person lol. I’m just pointing that out is all

With the XT-50 just came out, one feature that the XH2s can have is the touchscreen subject tracking just like Sony has, and only then the Fuji XH2s should worth 2500$

Bro your the best review guy of fuji n stuff, all fire

While I agree there are issues with the firmware. What most people seem to not think of is Fuji may get everything to work in the lab but when you push out firmware to the masses , that's when you find the bugs. That's with any tech. I've been In the tech industry for 17 years and I've seen where firmware fixes one thing and breaks another, this is not new. No matter how expensive the product , demand and timelines do not allow for everything to come out perfect. Look at video games , they are in development for years , then they are released and bam "issues" . Look at anything tech related and tell me they've never had issues with firmware updates . Now if you bought a Fujifilm thinking it was going to have perfect AF , you really didn't do your research. Not giving them a pass I'm stating a fact. They have never had the best track record when it comes to AF yet, most people can get it to work for them. I watch a lot of RUclipsrs and I've seen canons and Sony cameras have AF issues . Even Panasonic made a bold promise with the S5 mark 2 cameras that they still are working on getting the AF to be better. Again I agree this needs to be fixed but, I also know this is not new to tech or Fuji when it comes to firmware. Is it disheartening? Yeah especially when you are trying to use it for professional gigs but, it will be fixed. It's their first entry into getting touch to track for video.

in terms of Photography the AF is absolutly Fu....ed. Tryed to take pictures from a sitting duck, the green box was Perfectly on the eye and i tought i tooked some decend shots. than u go in lightroom and see that there is not even one sharp foto. focus is on a leave, a branch or something else WHICH IS NOT EVEN NEAR THE EYE OF THE DUCK! i mean the xh2s is packed with good hardware but this af since the last update is killing me rly. the camera tricks u (with the latest Firmware) that u think u got a nice shot but in the edit u see the horrible result. And before u rant on me, was on a fast enough shutterspeed and a decent fuji lens (50-140mm with the Linear motors). I went full into the fuji system (xh2/2s) but the more i get into professional work, the more this kamera lacks in terms of what she could do. for their x-Flagship in 2024 they should fix this problem fast and rly work on their sofware. Instead they bring camera after camera just to bound all their fans with new fancy little cams like x100vi or the new xt50 (price is absolutly hilarious). Maybe they should put more work into their software to be kind of competitive. if they dont fix that i see myself keeping the xh2 for some chilled photography but for my professional and charged work i will switch to sony. a7V is not that far away and their new ai- autofocus like on the r7v and 6700 is rly rly hard to ignore. Makes me sad, i tought that they learend something the last 2 years of their firmware policy with their "Minor" bugs. if u be rly honest, xh2/xh2s are with this update overpriced stills kameras with autofocus from 2015

Tips Pick one eye Change to zone Increase sensitivity 4 95% hit rate 👌 YES USE RIGHT LENSES THE issue isn't the sesnor ...I suspect it's filter over the lenses

The problem is that the camera sees your eye at 1:12 and it puts a box on your eye, it tells you that it has acquired focus on the eye, but in reality the focus is on your hand. I would prefer if it looses focus, puts the box on your hand and tell you exactly what it is doing and you can adjust. This is what bugs me the most. It's the same in photos, you take a photo, the camera shows you where to box is, but the focal point is completely wrong. I've tried it with my dog, while it wasn't moving at all. Focus box on the eye and the focus is on the mouth. It looked completely fine while looking through the LCD. At least show me that you can't find the eye or that the focus is on the mouth, I would prefer that! XH2s user here.

How to fix it: Switch to Canon.

these tests are really dumb. When you do stick your hand in front of the lens like that?

I think they cannot fix it. Its just how Fujifilm works/does

I only use the 16-55 and 50-140 for video work and I have no problems with it. I use my H2s in area AF and I control the box manually. For talking head videos I just use Eye AF and it never misses. I’ve seen Sony, Nikons and Canons miss AF as well. It’s all about knowing your camera.

Honestly though this new autofocus update has completely changed the x-s20 for me. It's a borderline new camera after the update. I have literally one setting now that is basically the same for every scenario, just with different object recognition settings, and I honestly have more keepers for wildlife now than i ever did with any camera. It still struggles at times in other scenarios but not nearly as much as before.

I'm still waiting for Fuji to solve this problem, which is unacceptable, especially on a flagship camera..gz

I don’t even own a Fuji why am I watching this 😂

Idk those pins are fire 🔥 💪 Just copped 2 of them.

Fujifilm is good enough when you're behind the camera, but when it comes to filming yourself and having to trust the AF system it falls behind.

AF and IBIS is bed. All other is excellent.

I am planning to upgrade from xt 3 to xh2s ... There is a very negative review on autofocus of xh2s ...is it really that bad ?? Or is it just a negative marketing

Fuji should stop making cameras and focus on fixing their autofocus.

The best camera is the one you know and use best. And the best photo or video is the one that has the best photographer or director behind the lens.

I’ve been using my A7iii for a very long time now and recently got the xs20+xc15-45 to experience the Fuji ”magic” people talk about. I really love Fuji now and it takes wonderful pictures/video but video autofocus isn’t great in comparison. I’m personally fine zoom in video but Fuji does the weirdest lens corrections while zooming that drive me crazy. I thought I’d be selling off my Sony gear and migrating but I’ll just keep a death grip on my A7iii until I actually need something better. The xs20 was cheap so I’ll probably just keep it forever as my toss around.

There is NO excuse anymore in 2024 for only ok AF-C. I live in germany and I paid way much more than 2500 dollar. I will not upgrade. Fuji is becoming the new panasonic. The question is in the end WHY is it not as good as Sony or canon mr. or mrs. Fuji?

I do agree that the LM lenses were better. I purchased the XH2s for motorsports mainly at the time, and it was close to the (5 yr old at the time) Sony A9 when shooting motorsports. But it would find faces while in Automobile Detect for no reason at times. I would have stayed with Fuji if they would've updated the 50-140 or given us a 1.8 zoom ( like the Sigma 50-100 1.8 APSC) for better low light. I did get frustrated with a wedding I shot using the XH2s and XT5. I believe with better, updated low light zooms, the system would be better to use professionally. But if it works for people in a professional setting, kudos to them and I hope it just gets better. Fuji is a great system, colors and film sims especially, but I needed better AF and more importantly, better low light capabilities that I am getting with my Z8 and the Nikon FF system. People talk so bad about Nikon, but the Z6II had better AF and low light capabilities than any FUji camera I had. XH2s, XH2 and XT5. I do miss the smaller lenses ( the bodies were about the same size of the Z6/Z7 FF Bodies) at times.

I always find these kinds of af tests just plain silly. How often do you find yourself in situations like that? I have the X H2s and have had no issues with the af. It's near on par with the Sony A7iv and R6ii (I've had both)

what are your autofocus settings?

It didn't have this issue before 6.0, that's the real issue. Before 6.0 eye/face tracking was 95% there and I was happy with that but now it's a mess. I made the second video on this issue right after the original one to test out if it was true and it was. Wish I could go back to 5.3 firmware.

It’s 2024 and IMO, a reasonable expectation is that autofocus should be reliable the majority of the time - whether professional or otherwise. Yes… Sony and Canon have very good autofocus systems but even my Lumix, in its first generation of phase detect is reportedly better. As people on this and other forums have pointed out, this is a $2500 USD camera but in practical terms, the investment is much higher of course when you consider the very real cost of lenses and the overall ecosystem. I’m a hobbyist whose main interest is action, sports and wildlife photography. The xh2s has all the right specs (in theory) to help me achieve my goals but what use is the camera if the autofocus is not reliable?

Things to Note! 2) I agree that Fujifilm should fix this issue and the accuracy is hit or miss 3) Overall the focus is okay it can be amazing at times and horrible the next time which is crazy to say.

I have the new X100VI and X-Pro2. The focus is not accurate on the X100VI in AF-C. Also after last update. Not a problem on my old X-Pro2 with many classic Fuji lenses like 35mm f1.4 or 18mm f2 - not the fastest lenses, bat accurate... My GRIII and GRIIIX are slower, but more accurate in eye AF than the new X100VI. I have owned mode than 20 pro cameras in last 15 years, paid jobs with Canon, know my cameras with closed eyes. And I can tell you the new Fuji's AF-C is NOT ACCURATE. It's not about "not as good as Canon/Sony.... It's not accurate! That is the problem. Not the speed, not the settings. I can agree with @edvard2942 on this.

I think a big issue with the AF is it doesn’t just work. You have to go in and change and adjust, and tweak and play with. And switch setting from multi to wide/tracking ETC.. just give us a smart focus mode that can tell what type of photography/video we are shooting and automatically change the focus settings to match for the suitable conditions.

Hey man, great video, Its me, I also use the xh2s xt3 on proffesional work but the issue is the tracking , If a subject is walking towards or away from , dynamic shot , the camera it will lose you and you will get an unusable shot, Proffesional does not mean manual focus in 2024 in my opinion, And also about the hand test you see the behaviour with a much shallower deph of field. Also check my last video if you didnt , If there s no object blocking the face it is still doesnt focus perfectly on the eye (mostly, not always). Im not saying you cant use the camera , I am saying if you need good af tracking both video or stills for moving subjects you can t rely on it. Keep it up, my point of doing those is to make lot of noise so they can fix it one day because I too (secretly) love the camera besides the af.

i feel the same way, this camera should cost $2000 max at its current state. Even if it had the same af performance as the newest lumix cameras, this should be the price. Fuji should be better at AF by now, they had plenty of time to make it good.

A little Vaseline type grease along the zipper will help. Same stuff used on RTIC waterproof zippers should do the trick.

This camera is $800 used now 🫣🫣🫣that insane

It's basically a PD 6L sling with different materials

Peak design rip off.

Nice looking bag, but its too expensive.

Hello, been looking for a sling and this video came up. A few positive comments if I may. You have a good you tube voice. Provide a link to the product. Took me a while to find the name of product in the transcripts 0so I would suggest putting the name in the title or at least in the description. Some things need to be clearer, for example are the internal dividers adjustable. More information on the pockets. What about a tripod. Let people visualize their gear inside the bag with other examples. And borrow a camera for visual effects. Cheers Vancouver Island Canada

Love the Video quality DANG

This is a comment

I’m switching to Fuji right now!

X-H2s subject tracking is working well when you stand still. When you move around af box lags behind. I'd say Fuji has caught up to Sony A7ii level of stickiness tracking. Search youtube for "rn9i0mPjiAE", that Japanese video shows all AF progression from X-t1 to X-t5.
