Took my XH2S to Japan and had it experience freezes a few times on 7.0. AF still seems to drift to objects that aren’t what I started out with. Ruined a shamisen performance because it drifted from face to someone’s camera on tripod instead. I brought my A7R3 as backup and was using it for some stuff because I was concerned I wouldn’t get shots or clips with XH2S

It seems crazy that a huge established camera company wont actually fix the problem. You have to ask, are they in financial straights or just dont care? Its obviosly an attempt to prevent a costley recall and not put out a new camera with a different AF system. No brainer….they have faulty parts.

Something not right at Fujifilm for years. You complaint of latest firmware.. But these are long problems. Every generation was falling way behind the competition in terms of autofocus. Somehow things are not shown well to the public. I have Fuji, Sony and Ricoh. I prefer to use Fuji by a fair margin. But it is also the system that promises a lot and gets to much unreliable. This is 2024!! Why is Fujifilm the only camera that I am constantly checking for focus? Every shot is a random experience.

Indirectly you are bashing me for making those vids , 1. For my usecase the AF is bad especially in video 2. Settings you're talking about that I make the camera intentionally to fail is not true , tracking and speed , lower the tracking (0) the camera tries to focus fast or a new subject or fast moving subject ( its not actually tracking, its just how fast you want the camera to re-focus) , and if you increase the "tracking" to +4 the camera wont focus immediately on a moving subject, it waits longer. 3. I can compare the firmwares instantly , no need to have job to see is bad , and im not doing a job if I dont know how the camera works , i just compared 1.03 to 7.0 running towards the camera in video . And you're welcome , Your xh2s doesnt focus on the hands no more because of my "bad" vids.

What’s important is that people make their own decisions, someone can watch a video and be influenced very easily by what they see and make it their own reality when it’s not the case at all, why is my Xh2s not as bad as yours?

I want to add regarding the file transfer using the grip compared to the wifi of the camera itself… the grip transfers files much much faster because it actually has a Ethernet port so you can upload full quality video to your editor not just proxies. Even the wifi 6 it has is extremely fast plus you get an option to connect your phone to it with usb c. Beyond that the grip is really really nice especially if you are shooting vertical format. It has all the buttons you would ever need and the 2 additional batteries give you all day video and photo so honestly perfect for wedding photographers or video folks. The grip also help with heat management as you can run the camera with the 2 batteries from the grip and leave the one in the body out which often gets hot from recording. Other than that this update is awesome and fuji once again is taking care of us.
