    The response I received from Fuji was, "It appears with Normal 4K, line skipping is used making the footage vulnerable to noise, and thus the shadow end can be prone to clipping." 🤔🤷‍♂

      New X-H2 owner here, been using for around 10 days. Amazing camera, but I haven't been able to look at the files on a large screen (only on my Macbook).
      That answer seems to indicate that Fuji has no plans of reverting that shadow crushing. They might be doing that to hide the deep black noise on those shots, but that's a shame.
      I'm excited to see what the video looks like on real world usage.

      It does seem odd given it’s not there in the 6K. I’m trying to imagine the maths behind the line skipping but failing miserably. Maybe the skipping gave a pattern to the noise that was distracting? It seems a bit of a brutal fix if it is. I got my X-H2 today. I don’t have an S to compare but I still have my X-T4 as a baseline. If I start right away I might be able to test every resolution/codec/bit rate/picture profile combination before the X-H3 arrives 🙄

    My experience is that even if flog2 is noisier and in 60p uses 12 bit instead of 14, for very demanding colours/lighting scenarios flog2 can handle those very well where hlg and flog1 will start losing detail and clip/shift colours,
    When I was out testing i shot flog2 of a black/gray crow sitting on a white birch branch lit by the sun and camera exposed for the crow and still being super overexposed i was able to recover detail in the branch it was sitting. absolutely amazed.
    Only exception is in very low light there is a lot of magenta chroma noise in flog2 but it disappears completely in flog1, noticed this while trying to record the auroras.
    Thanks for the amazing insight of both cameras!

    I think I forgot to ask last time about the following:
    Everyone analyses the rolling shutter effect in 4K, 6.2K or 8K, but non-oversampled 1080p is seldom looked at.
    Is non-oversampled 1080p rolling shutter any different (better) than 4K on the X-H2? Because I wouldn't mind using 1080p for home videos, for instance.
    I'm loving the high resolution possibilities of the X-H2 both for photo and video, especially the pixel-shift mode. It'd be a shame to lose them by choosing the X-H2s...

But with the Xh2 it comes down to an extra lens maybe. Or more CF cards.

    As always, a fantastic review. This is a great service you perform in your exhaustive analysis of these cameras. Thank you so much.
    I'll have to candidly say I Love the X-H2s, but really wish the AF were better.
    While AF is convenient in certain instances, mostly it makes for lazy filmmakers.
    You are (at least among the few who mention this from time to time), Specifically, Fuji provides a fantastic consolation by giving users something that is much better: the best peaking capability of any camera I know of, hands down. Rokinon X mount lenses are fantastic, and provide butter-like focus pulls, that not only look gorgeous, but are also wonderfully accurate, detailed, easy to see and control. Using it makes for a much more creative and inventive shooting experience than trying to treat the camera like some sort of glorified point and shoot. GAAAHHH. Enough with that.

Is 0 sharpening a bit or is it off and is -4 actually softening the image? This could be a bit less confusing and the manual offers no clarification. Thanks

    @JoaquimGonsalves 5 дней назад

    Thank you for the insightful review.
    I'd say if budget was a major constraint in a Fuji only, small independent studio, (like mine where it's just 3 people) then the XH2 would be a great second camera when the need arises.
    We can keep it on the tripod for all locked off shots while the XH2S, (which we currently have) would be amazing on a gimbal/handheld.
    Together, they'd be a great Fuji only setup and the savings can go towards cheaper and lighter Sigma lenses versus the very good but expensive new 1.4s from Fuji.
    Hopefully the recording to SSD, waveforms and false color from the 100ii will come to these two soon.
    Now, Fuji just needs to get their AF firmware issues sorted(a bit of a lost cause though considering their inconsistent results across lenses) and IBIS, well it seems like they just have bad hardware that isn't yet up to the challenge of their version of compact and dense bodies.

    The XH2S is a great camera with those 14+ stops of dynamic range score by using davinci resolve noise reduction. But the noise quality and appearace should be taken with a grain of salt. Some would like its fine, sharp, and gritty looking noise but some would probably also prefer blocky but softer noise like what other camera brands produce. It all boils down to your style and its features are outstanding for a 26mp camera.

    Very detailed comparisons 😱
    There are options that I let on without knowing what it is such as the interframe noise reduction.
    It is weird that the x-h2 crops in 4k60. this is pretty basic now.
    The fact to be able to zoom in also in video is very handy. it saves post work
    Pitty that the x-h2 doesn't offer open gat mode (even though I also still not get 100% what it means)
    The 4k hq from the h2 is better than the 4k from the xh2 I guess then.
    The tricky thing would be to coordinate all that when shooting with both of them for a given video
    - Isn't Prores Hq the best of the best that you can get out of those cameras ? (and prores hq flog 2 the very best?)
    - Does the 4k of the x-h2s have a similar 'bad' dynamic range than the non hq 4k from the x-h2? (from What I understood, the 4k of the xh2s is better than the non hq of xh2. )
    - What happens if you have a footage with some scenes in flog, some in flog2 and some in eterna?

The battle for APSC sensor cameras seems to be heating up now that the Fujifilm X-H2/S, Sony FX30 and Canon EOS R7 are out.

      8K is not needed and if you want 8k, you must be doing movies and if thats the case, you have no need to purchase a Fuji camera. You should look into cinema cameras. I'm just saying, people only really need 4k, maybe 6k but its not needed especially for the work people do.

    If non-HQ 4k does that I wonder if it happens to all non-HQ mode including 1080?
    I mainly shoots 1080/60 which I don't even know if it's oversampled? and yes it doesn't have a HQ name to it...
    From what i know all modes on xh2s* is oversampled but doesn't name any of it HQs? This is just so annoying...

In the real world, does anyone care about 8k yet? Most of us hardly even care about 4k haha. But either way, as usual, great video man! Thanks for your work!

    I just wonder how it achieved a 14+ stop dynamic range. Does it have an extereme under the hood noise reduction even when the in camera noise reduction is turned off? It would be interesting to see the detail preservation performance in normal/brighter lighting and also with human subjects. If it still preserves the details in brighter lighting/human subjects while in 14+ stops dynamic range; now that would be impressive but currently I am still not sure if thats the case because I havent found enough tests of those specific scenarios.

    • @adletkassym9600
      @adletkassym9600 11 месяцев назад +1

      I think it’s because of the noise pattern. Fuji advertised their new gen sensors as having the closest to film behaviour, noting that their noise patterns are very close to film. This leads me to believe that it’s the noise pattern+the resolution of the sensor that allows for such tremendous results

    Excellent comparison as always!
    Can either camera crop 2x from 4K to 1080p in the same way the X-H2 can crop 2x from 8K to 4K?
    Since I'm thinking of getting a camera that can shoot motorsports adequately (lots of panning), either I get the X-H2s or I get the X-H2 but restrict to 1080p due to the excessive rolling shutter at 4K.

    • @AsuquoTravelsProductions
      @AsuquoTravelsProductions Год назад +1

      I will suggest you get the XH2S since you be doing more run and gun in fast moving objects with panning. Either way you can’t go wrong with either because Fujifilm really did good with both cameras.

    • @JoaquimGonsalves

      While I can't definitively answer your primary question, ( I doubt if they can do that. If Gerald hasn't mentioned about them, I'm sure Gordon Laing would have..you can consider watching his reviews if you haven't). Going by my past experience with motorsports (hobbyist and some years ago) and going by the XH2S performance reviews (I have one but haven't used it for motorsport yet) I'd strongly recommend the XH2S. Not sure about your time & storage constraints during post, but my advice would be to shoot in 4k and reframe in post whenever possible. As of this comment, not sure about either of them doing high res to 1080 in camera zoom. Maybe they could introduce that in firmware later, but the thing is most people prefer shooting in 4k and then exporting to 1080 if needed so I'm not sure if they might add this feature. Wish you the best and I'm sure you will enjoy the cameras, whichever one you pick. May you get more work coming your way. God bless.

    The Canon R5 in Gerald's R5 and R6 review exhibited very similar behaviour as the Fuji X-h2 where the total dynamic range was equal to the low number. The non-HQ mode on the X-H2 still appears to have better dynamic range than the Canons based on the test patterns in your reviews.

    X-H2S question: I mostly shoot 4K24 and 4K60 in ProRes 422 externally recording to Ninja V+ via HDMI. I don’t understand the difference in shooting ProRes 422 with no codec and shooting ProRes 422 with ProRes codec. What should I be doing? Will shooting ProRes with ProRes codec make the clips more efficient in the editing process? Does it have any drawbacks?

      Recording over HDMI likely bypasses the codec you set in camera.

    Greate review! I didn't understand something, 4kHQ means 4k in ProRes HQ? Or we can record 4kHQ down sampled from 8k also in h265? I'm asking because I don't want to use CFexpress card, and I do want to use the better dynamic range we get from downsampled 8k, thanks!

    • @geraldundone
      @geraldundone  Год назад +3

      Two different HQs. ProResHQ is just a bit rate, but 4KHQ means oversampling. You can shoot 4KHQ in a variety of codecs, H.264, H.265, and ProRes, including ProResHQ. In which case you'd have 4KHQ ProRes HQ. Haha

    Saying the new Fujifilm XH2 series' AF poor is an understatement. I have tried the XH2S in field shooting using AF in several trial situations, talking head, run and gun walking subject tracking, transitioning from subject to subject both on the same focusing plane and near and far etc. Unlike Panasonic AF, it's was OK when in focus but utterly unreliable when I had to switch focus points or if the subject moved. My old Canon 70D DSLR autofocuses miles better than that in every respect. You also have to be careful when you plan to rely solely on manual focus using most Fuji lenses. The focus by wire mechanism is not smooth and sometimes jumpy making smooth transitioning next to impossible.
    IMO unless you use one of Fujinon's excellent cine lenes or 3rd party true manual lenses, using one of these Fujifilm cameras for critical work would be at best annoying and at worst wreck your shoots.
