What camera is that inside that cage?

hey i watched this video, took your advice and im exposing waaaayyy better w this picture profile than any other . i can do s log 3 but why when i can have it almost perfect. thank you so much i seriously appreciate you.

I wanna see this on a gimbal and compared to the ZV-E1 Mark 1 and 2. Those are the ones this one will be competing with.

Very cool, still relevant video packed with facts on a great lens, thank you Phillip

Neither 6700 nor FX30 doesn't have auto ND, none of them is a pro video camera, conversation is over.

Does the result with these luts looks beter when shoot in clog3?

How about when using flash with the xh2s. Since it is a stacked sensor. Is there a difference of using mechanical vs electronic shutter?

The “manage user luts” isn’t popping up. How can I fix this?

@Phillip R Peck Since scroll wheel without Alt zooms in the viewers, I'd like to zoom the same way in the timeline (just scrolling the wheel without Alt-modifier). Is that possible?

Very interesting! I have the XT5, XH2S, and X100F and this hasn't really ever bothered me until I started using my Fuji's for more professional projects. I use a SONY A7III for most things and love the results but I've been really disliking my Fuji raw files recently. Almost considered switching to SONY full time but I guess I have more tests to do. Great video!

So, I asked Phillip how many tips were in this video. He replied, "Yes".

It was so nice to hear your words regarding matching the feel of the shadows as opposed to filler light depending on the topic of discussion. I always hear that it’s just up to the creative discretion but I always felt it did matter depending on the topic more importantly than just casually picking one haha

The natural comparison is the Viltrox and Sony 40mm 2.5

I had been using Capture One and more recently some of the more 'Mac native' alternatives until a recent trip when I decided to load up Lightroom Classic again (given I was already paying for Photoshop it's basically free). I was amazed at how well Lightroom handled my Fujifilm RAW files using the AI Enhance Details and Denoise features compared to what had originally driven me to Capture One. I don't see any reason to continue to pay for Capture One when I can get great output from Lightroom, and despite what some say in my experience the alternatives don't handle Fujifilm RAW's as well as Capture One and now Lightroom do.

Im considering buying this light to highlight some trophies for my gym. The budget is not an issue, but the lights would be on and plugged in and on for 4 hours a day (at night time). Would you recommend for or against that? I have no idea if these types of lights are only built for 1-2 hours at a time then need to cool down.

This is extremely annoying from Sony, a classic case of assuming you know better than your customer how they should use the gear. I use 1080p a lot, for good reasons. The fact Sony puts this garbage in expensive cameras is infuriating. People are going to want good 1080 for years to come! Fix it.

TTArtisan lenses always impress me, and their 56mm f/1.8 is no different. The image quality is super sharp at the center even at f1.8. Love using it on my XT4 for portraits.

can one use a sirui saturn anamophic lens with the xm5 with open gate video?

X-M5 ocus peeking not working with manual lenses?

Mine overheats very quickly when at more than 80%, any way I could help this not happen as fast

OMG .... the ZOOM AROUND POINTER option... it's ALMOST am equivalent to the "second playhead" of FCPX that I miss so much... Thanks for this video

X-H2S has a 14bit readout in 6.2K and 4K, great dynamic range and best in class rolling shutter. The X-M5 uses the same sensor of other cameras, like the X-S20, so we have a 12bit (and much slower) readout, less dynamic range (12.1 vs 13.6 at SRN=1). Not exactly the same. Obviously we need a more contrasty scene for evaluating DR and more movement for rolling shutter. But I think even in your tests, with low contrast scenes, some differences are noticeable. But obviously all of this depends on the eye of the beholder too. Am i saying that X-M5 is bad? Not at all. It’s a small gem of a camera, for the price and in its category. But the X-H2s is in another league, a sort of (relatively) poor man Alexa.

Tiny camera?!?! Not sure if you’ve seen its older iterations.

The AKG 214 DESTROYS the Rode NT1 to non amateur ear. It's just more more crisp and clear. NT1 is much muddier

Middle Mouse copies more than just the grade, It copies other things also like stabilization etc.

I am non professional audio person nor do I know anything regarding the Shure MV7 or the Blue Yeti. Every Christmas eve, through one (1) if my laptops, I play a youtube version of the sounds of a wind storm together with the sounds of Santa Reindeer bells ringing in unison. I then call my grandkids and talk to them imitating Santa Claus all mixed in together. I am looking to purchase a mic to use in conjunction with my cell phone or land line phone to call the kids that might give them a better sound of my voice while picking up the other 2 laptops playing the background noise. Just wondering which mic would be the best to purchase to assist me with my situation. Thanks

Estoy buscando donde descargar archivos de video de esta cámara para poder ver sus posibilidades en postproducción en Davinci Resolve. Poder ver la información de los videos. Sabes donde podría obtener eso?

Great video! I bought this combo a year and a half ago and I want to love it, but I'm on the verge of picking up an OM-1 II (would love a Z8 but it's hard to justify the price and I like having a lightweight kit). I can deal with the autofocus for birds that are stationary or moving around in trees, but the camera's autofocus just can't handle fast action - birds in flight, herons fishing, my dog running around the backyard, etc. it just can't keep up. Shooting 40fps or 30fps and having precapture sounds awesome, but what's the point if the autofocus can't keep up? Sure, I still get some good photos in these scenarios, but I'm usually settling for any in-focus photos I get instead of being able to choose the ones I want. And I never get a full sequence of shots where the subject is tracked accurately throughout with most of them being in focus.

Great review! You should have more subscribers. 👍👍

what did you use to film in the very beginning

does the af assist work on this lens in video? or do you have to put it into manual focus?

It's pretty similar, but, I felt that the cloud lifter was a little more hallow sounding than the CM-1 - before you said that, I noticed it, and thought maybe I liked the CM-1 better (especially since at this point in time, it is less than $19 new on Sweetwater haha). I wanted to get a cloudlifter, but if I can be SUPER budget and get it for $130 less, I think they have me sold. But, maybe I will keep listening to these kinds of demos before making the purchase - I just got my UA SD-1 in today and I realized I need to crank my preamp gain pretty hard from the position I had it for my AKG c214, which is set at less than half of the knob lol. Anyway, awesome video and super helpful in making me feel confident in the CM-1. God Bless you, man!

Does anyone know if this camera overheats If I use it for streaming for long periods of time? and it can be used as a webcam?\

I just received mine and ran through a test of each port. I noticed that the top HDMI port (from horizontal orientation) with only one monitor connected had a spotty connection. All the other ports are fine. Do you know if with only one monitor on HDMI whether we should use the lower HDMI or is it possible that one of my HDMI ports is not working correctly? I realize it's an odd question - I may have to dig up my Ninja V to use as a second HDMI screen to answer my own question. Also - in my tests I found that the USB-C 40Gbps ports (marked as 6K front and back and presumably actually TB4 ports but perhaps not labeled as so for licensing reasons) are slightly slower than the ones on my MacBook Pro M1 Max - Not a huge amount but I have a NVMe drive in a TB4 enclosure that clocks in at read/write of over 3100 MB/s on the TB4 port on my MacBook but only 2800 or so on the Fusion Max. Not a huge issue but I wonder if that's an indication of anything? Your thoughts on both of these issues are welcome and appreciated. Cheers.

Would this camera also serve well as a webcam for streaming? My main concern here being overheating, because thats a usecase that would have the camera run for hours at a time

Nice review - thanks. I'm thankful to see some testing of various ports in this review and some real-world use cases. Many of the reviews of this dock only discuss talking points from iVanky and don't appear to test anything. Cheers.

the auto focus seems a little slow.. the 6.2k open gate footage also looks grainy on the darker spots behind in the background

That thing is small. I’d miss the EVF. I’m good on cameras at the moment… curious to see what the X-H3S will have. Best autofocus in the business 😂

How long does the battery last if i mainly shoot on 4k ? I’m planning to use this for vlogging for my upcoming trip. I would be getting extra 2 batteries for sure though.

Hello thank you for your video, would auto focus image quality level be better than the Fujifilm X-T4?

Seriously, outside of camera capabilities. X-M5 is actually has more update than flagship. X-M5 Bluetooth version is 5 while the flagships are still stuck at version 4 from X-T3 era. I'm still waiting for DJI mirrorless that is rumored gonna disrupt the slow market Japanese monopoly

Very intrigued how does the 6.2K 3:2 open gate mode look at 8, 25, 50 Mbps. Haven’t seen anyone do that comparison yet. Cheers!

Some blackout and fps/burst info; I'm guessing its the same as all the Fuji cameras but on the CL burst rates (5, 3fps etc), we get blackouts all the time, but once we go to CH burst rates we get blackout once on the initial frame (as you point out) and then never again (during the burst). It looks like CH for the XM5 considers 8fps enough to qualify, however 8fps is considered CL on the XH2S and thus we get blackouts constantly on 8fps on XH2S but not on the XM5, we need to go to 10fps minimum on XH2S to get just that first initial blackout and then none for the subsequent frames. The fps thing is basically a lie, because the main throttle is not even SD cards or file size, its the AF and metering (especially subject detection metering). Try your fps in manual focus mode and you will see what 8+fps really looks like when the camera is not having to meter constantly or acquire focus (Priority or Release). 40fps on the XH2S is really only possible to achieve manual focus mode, otherwise its like half that or even less (depending on scene/subject difficulty). So again, with Fuji it can look like a bragging point to having these high burst rates but once using AF and detection metering you're nowhere near getting that. I think some users have tested and its about 6fps regardless of mode... lol

Congrats on 10K!!! This is where I get to say “I knew him when…” 😂

Great video man, thanks! That TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 is such a nice lens for the price. I have used it for photography and man it is decent! The X-M5 being almost as capable as the X-H2s (within reasonable expectations) is quite a statement! Surely looks like a great value camera.

Could you do a video comparing the autofocus of XM5 and the sony ZVE1? the fujirumors admin keeps spamming articles that fuji now has improved AF so much on the XM5 and that is much better than XH2S wich is not, and he even says now it's better than the nikon Z8

For the glitching i think it just a bit too high for the obs settings that the computer couldn't keep up? check out the stats in OBS to see where it lags
