First Shooting Impressions: X-H2S + XF18-120mm F4 LM PZ WR

This is my first shooting impression of the brand new Fujifilm X-H2S + XF18-120mm F4 LM PZ WR. As mentioned in previous videos, this is a pre-production unit, including hardware and firmware, so none of the photos, videos, and performance tests are final. Please wait for me to test a production copy before I can make a final conclusion on performance. Check out my other videos and articles on the latest gear from Fujifilm.

[@rondypondy]

Great initial impressions! As a video-centric person who loves Fuji, this is a must-get for me! They should really add that anamorphic de-squeeze in camera though. Also, I want to have a look at that IBIS and video autofocus. But definitely looks like Fuji has entered the video game!

[@Honkus]

For a video focused or hybrid camera, this seems very impressive. I can’t wait to see what the photography focused bodies with the ver 5 processor and sensors will bring.

[@stephenelliott7071]

Interesting camera, but yes as a stills photographer the X-T5 improvements with traditional Fujifilm dials and X-T3 screen please.

[@bigheadtaco]

I’m looking forward to a photocentric body as well.

[@stephenelliott7071]

Extra good in low light would be ideal IMO.

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

Excited about this lens for live streaming indoor sports like volleyball, basketball and track. F4 isn’t that fast but the high iso performance of the recent Fuji cameras is good. I was almost ready to invest in a camcorder (no they’re not dead!) because servo zoom is critical to this type of work.

[@blutac318]

Thanks for this preview Take. I do like the back button layout, hope the X-T and X-Pro will be similar, but with the dials, obviously, prefer not to have PASM. The 18-120 seems great, hopefully it’ll not have focus and exposure problems when zooming for the production firmware.

[@bunmeng007]

Definitely a step in the right direction for Fuji, although XH2 series is not for me. I am very excited fo the XT5 and XPro4 and what sensor it will have. Very detailed first shooting impression. Well done! Cheers

[@nickcarneyphotography]

What do you think the difference between the XT5 and the XH2 will be?

[@bunmeng007]

@@nickcarneyphotography My hope is they will give XT4 the 40mp X Trans 5, but this will surely cannibalize the XH2 sales. So probably there will be a 30mp+ X Trans 5. X Pro 4 is their premium luxury line - so it may have the 40mp X Trans 5.

[@nickcarneyphotography]

@@bunmeng007 So then what would the difference be between the XT5 and the XH2? Just less video features. I'm just trying to get an idea of what the differentiator between the X-T and X-H lines are, because they both seem to be hybrid cameras.

[@bunmeng007]

@@nickcarneyphotography Both hybrid. Take mentions that XH is the flagship and XT (1 digit) is the mid range with the retro dials, and XT (2 digit), XE and XS will be the base line. So I expect XT5 will have less video features than the flagship XH series.

[@pierrelaviolette670]

Great video, lots of extra bits of info. I agree, AF button should be 3 way toggle, much faster than reaching another dial

[@karlbratby4349]

Thanks for the info, for a left eye shooter this new design is way better, finally they give an AF-on button that is usable

[@SlotCarNewsOfficial]

thanks for this video. I love that finally Fujifilm has been able to express how they see each camera line. There's been so much confusion about this. I hope they highlight this more in future marketing.

wow you explained everything i needed to know about this camera..... waiting for the 40 mgp one........great video

[@akanbilincoln1307]

Good review, sir. Please, which camera did you use to record this video📹🎥 and the lens?

[@moshuajusic1811]

Definitely took a page from Sony's 18-105. It's frustrating how Sony seems to have abandoned APS-C camera development. They were ahead of the pack a few years ago. Now they're far behind. I'm considering switching systems, but it looks like Fuji has a few quirks to iron out before this lens hits the market.

[@Kusanosuke1]

Well done as always! Fujifilm is definitely making some interesting tech strides. If I were a wildlife stills shooter or into video, I'd be all over this camera, but I'm neither. 😆 I'm holding out for the X-Pro4!

[@bigheadtaco]

Me too… I hope they keep the reverse articulating screen, but I’m not hopeful. If they get rid of it, I’ll buy another X-Pro3 just to collect.

[@sassamatt]

Me as well

[@momentsofframe]

Great video! Is this lens good enough for handheld (on the Xh2s)? Or is this a lens that will give some troubles with pan or tilt movements? Heard some stories about a jittering images because of the ibis?

[@mredmond]

Great video! Has the flickering and focus issues when zooming been fixed in firmware updates? In the video this is seen at 1:04, 13:25, and especially at 13:40 even with relatively slow zooms, let alone fast zooming as in subjects like sports. It's atrocious that Fujifilm is still so far behind all the competitors in 2023 when it comes to this essential video feature.

[@adria4K]

Thanks for the informative review. Well done Regarding anamorphic: you are doing it wrong in post. You don't "stretch out" digital image, anamorphic desqueeze works only optically. You scale it down to same horizontal resolution. Otherwise your computer is creating pixels which were not shot.

[@highdough2712]

Surprised to see New Brighton in the video. That’s my neighbourhood! Also, thanks for the video. I’m seriously considering the camera and can’t wait to see some reviews with the production version.

[@paulthomas8986]

Looks like a fantastically capable stills/video camera. The question I have is if this is their flagship model it is probably the only one that will receive the stacked sensor. So it will probably be the best sports action/fastest autofocus, frame rate camera. So its hard to say this is mostly a video centric camera. Im just going to think its going to be the best of the best as far as feature set/capability. Knowing that the Xh-2 will have the 40mp sensor, it will be a bit odd if it does not have a stacked sensor to take advantage of faster autofocus and frame rate for stills. It seems like that should be the better wildlife camera but not if the frame rate is substantial less. The biggest question is what sensor will the future line of fuji cameras use? If they are making 2 new sensors for the xh line what will be used in the lower end models? That is what I am most interested in.

[@bigheadtaco]

yes the two sensor but one processor dilemma is real. For instance, neither sensor seem appropriate on the base level cameras, like the X-E4. The reason is that the base level cameras have always had UHS-I SD slots, so throughput to the cards have always been slower. Imagine putting a stacked sensor on a base level body, but then throttle it with a slow SD card slot? Also the new processor seems overkill as well. I would be curious to see if there's a third sensor for the base level cameras (maybe a modest 30-36MP non stacked BSI CMOS sensor?) and maybe keep the previous X Processor IV or use a dumbed down version or have a consumer version of the X Processor V? More questions than answers at this point, but it's still exciting to find out what Fujifilm does.

[@mrenovatio3739]

Excellent music choice for the video. I wish other youtubers made the effort at least. Good taste.

[@renessda5519]

This Fuji PZ zoom with internal focusing looks amazing and desirable for video but... there are TWO serious issues that means no buy for me. First is exposure flickering/stepping while zooming and second one is AF-C pumping while zooming. With these issues not fixed this zomm is simply useless for video.

[@andrea.dinardo]

I don't understand why he didn't mention these serious issues or have I missed him talking about that

[@hyperborean2576]

even with a new video designed lens we can still see the exposure stepping on a supposedly constant aperture zoom, Fuji really needs to fix their cameras, it's not about the lenses. Another example is Viltrox lenses, which have de-clicked aperture, aren't stepless on Fuji bodies but are on other camera brands.

[@randkjournal]

Thank you for the post. Very informative. Well done. A few questions: - How is the handheld video stabilization of the X-HS2? I don't expect it to rival Panasonic or Olympus but hopefully it is improved over the X-T4 or X-S10. - The video footage looks great - a cinematic feel of Downtown Vancouver East Side😀. It was shot in low light with an F4 lens and yet it seems well-lit. Did you use a higher ISO or did you use external lighting? - Fujifilm finally came up with a competitor to Sony's 18-105mm F4. Sony has lens stabilization though. Does the XF18-120mm F4 have focus breathing issues when zooming similar to the XF16-80mm lens? And speaking of zooming, does the X-HS2 have something similar to Sony's Clear Image Zoom? - Last question - where'd you get the hat? Thanks again.

[@davidselby8115]

Great video!!! How long to wait for classic interface xt5 or preferably xh2 40mp??? Thanks so much

[@cohoonatube]

Great review, thanks! Agree that Fuji should bring back the push-button on the 40mp version, one of my favorite innovations of Fuji platforms that is unique to Fuji. Really changes the workflow of many without it.

[@bigheadtaco]

The body of the HR version of the X-H2 will have the same body as the X-H2S, so unfortunately those non push-in dials will remain that way unfortunately…. Although I hope the info I received is wrong

[@JayGrapherTh]

a great comparison video - yes a fujifilm anamorphic lens that autofocus and is wide enough to deliver the xpan crop haha that would be crazy fantastic certainly a camera too powerful for my needs - with all the photo features - it certainly will go down stream to the XT lines and pro line of cameras that will love to get those features. for now - it does make more sense for the H2 with the 40mp sensor be the one for photographers anyways though not sure how people feel about the type of sensor being used for that camera and whether that will matter too much ill still wonder which of the two sensors will the xt and pro line get as well.

[@NJM1948]

Great vid and very well explained. As a stills shooter I am waiting to see the SH2 40mp version and maybe the XT5 or Xpro 4. This camera looks superb, but as I never do any video this one isn't for me

[@Tbonyandsteak]

Its a camera for video nerds. Which is great for freedom for obsional settings and connections. Respect for that. Personally would be more interrested if the dials were as Xh1

[@bigheadtaco]

Same here. I prefer dials and the reason why I was attracted to Fujifilm. That’s why I was happy when Fujifilm explained to us their line-up, the refinement, design and interface concepts.

[@cameraman655]

They can call the X-T* midrange “mid-level”, as long as I have my clicky dials and knobs, I am a happy camper, ditto for my X-Pros... I’ll definitely be getting this lens.

[@KauaiRD]

Will you recommend this lens for indoor basketball games? what about Fujifilm XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR Lens? thanks. I currently have the 33mm for X-H2S

[@soribaram975]

I think the exposure is unstable when using the zoom with the lens. Do you think so?

[@gilcarag274]

Yes it’s been reported somewhere else. I don’t think it’s a lens issue but more of a camera issue and still not fixed.

[@foveacreative]

Lots of great detail here, thank you! Do you have an idea whether the stacked sensor is able to mitigate the banding effect caused by artificial lights when using electronic shutter, like the Sony A9ii or A1, for example? I understand that the read out speed is not anywhere near as fast as those Sony cameras, but just wondered if there's any progress here?

[@dougmacmillan1712]

Another very informative and helpful video. Thanks! While it would be nice to have a de-squeeze, I think anyone shooting anamorphic video will be using a monitor and de-squeeze is a common feature for them. Also, since the video is titled "First Shooting Impressions", I wish you had discussed a little more what it felt like when using in the field compared to other Fuji cameras. Most of your impressions was about using the new zoom.

[@pierrelaviolette670]

What was the Laowa lens model? Loved the footage in the rain

[@robmcd]

My XH2s arrived today, I’m torn on how it feels in the hand and not having a exposure compensation dial was a bit weird. Still working it out but I’m excited.

[@ghas4151]

Can I ask if you still have this camera? Im so close to pulling the trigger on it, but look from perspective from current users. If you still have it would be great to hear your thoughts after 3 months.

[@ngonzale3]

I'm so excited for this lens, but the exposure stepping ruins it. I wonder if everything should be on manual mode for the exposure to not flicker when zooming.

[@poolwow]

Man, the Fuji X-H2S is what the Canon R6 should be. I'm leaning towards the Fuji here because it's more of a hybrid with the custom dial.

[@stevechan5569]

Informative and great first impression review. Have you been able to confirm if the final production country is Japan?

[@boceskia]

Portfolio explanation - that’s what I call complex portfolio. If they can support it, they will reach to different niche consumers. They are trying to exploit different aspects of real camera usage vs. smartphone, perhaps. But can they properly support it?

[@nigerian-nightmare]

I love the larger back-button autofocus. Unfortunately, the one on xt4 is very tiny. I hated it so much that I almost returned the camera.

[@DavidQuiring]

I hear you John. My solution: I bought some Sugru and beefed up the X-T4 af-on button myself. It’s not too hard - did it on my old X-T2 too.

[@SlotCarNewsOfficial]

have Fujifilm resolved the "jitter" that the AF used to do if you're in AF-C and shooting a static (talking head for example) in video? This is one of the main reasons I recently bought a Sony for my own KZbin channel use instead of waiting for this camera. I am (still) a committed Fujifilm shooter (XPro1, XT1, XT2 and XH1) but for interviews my XH1's video is sometimes unusable (I feel) because the video will "hunt" back and forth on a static subject during an interview or if you're doing a direct to camera talking head type of recording. Has this been fixed in the XH2s?

[@bigheadtaco]

The X-T2 and X-H1 used the 3rd generation sensor and processor, that had mediocre continuous video autofocus except in very specific settings. The 4th generation cameras, such as the X-T3 and X-T4 had a much better processor and sensor. This video was shot with the X-T4 and XF16-80mm lens. You decide if it’s good enough or not. However, this 5th generation is even better for continuous AF in video.

[@palamj2]

I’m fearful that future fuji cameras will no longer have the dials that we have loved for the last 10 years. The XH2s looks very capable but very over engineered if you are mainly a still shooter. Thankfully we have the X-T4 still.

Thanks for such a fantastic well done content

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

Correct me if I’m wrong this should be fujis best video lens based on their marketing saying it was their first lens helped made by their professional video camera division. Or second best after their dedicated 18-55 video lens made just for video.

[@MJamilHoque]

When will we be able to purchase a 1.2 other than the 56mm lens, from Fuji?

[@bigheadtaco]

I do hope they create another f/1.2 lens. I think a 35mm f/1.2 or 23mm f/1.2 would be a good option. However, it’s not on their lens roadmap, so only Fujifilm knows if this is on their radar.

[@W.i.l.l._Nguyen]

Actually excited and confused at the same time. Don't know if I should continue with this one or go Sony A7IV at the same price-ish...

[@bunmeng007]

IMO, if u shoot video like 80% of the time, then XH2S. Or wait for the 40mp XH2 if you are into still.

[@bigheadtaco]

It comes down to the ecosystem I guess. If you’re a serious videographer, the Sony video ecosystem is much larger, especially when it comes to lens options. Remember when Fujifilm first announced their MK lenses, it was released in Sony e-mount even before Fujifilm X-Mount.

[@fellowcitizen]

[@Slave-Of-Christ]

Great! Now I only have a mid-level camera. I'm such a loser.

[@MrAlbertein]

Well, I know the firmware is not final yet, but unfortunately all I see is that the AF pumping is not fixed, the IBIS doesn't seems much better than the XT4... I seriously hope they are going to improve this before the launch... Fingers crossed ;) Also the 18-120 PZ has an exposure shift at some point when zooming, and i wonder if it's optically parfocal or software.. looks like a software thing which seems to lag a bit sometimes.. like the samyang 24-70 .. I hope I'm wrong though.. Thank you for these samples footages

[@bigheadtaco]

The XF18-120 is not parfocal, it’s varifocal so it needs to continuously refocus as you zoom in and out. There is exposure flicker when zooming in and out as well, but because I had a pre-production unit, I can not confirm if this will be an issue with a production copy of the body and lens. Stay tuned for a future test with a production copy.

I think it’s great they have the base or prosumer cameras. Remember Fujifilm isn’t Canon or Sony, they don’t as many cameras as those brands. The base level cameras are a gateway into the pro series, so I think it’s important for them to keep them in their line-up.

X-H1 form factor was murdered, with no replacement for a dial camera with a grip. People begged for one for so long before the X-H1, then we got it, 1 time, then just abandoned. Maybe if PASM was even good for video it would be cool, but PASM isn't. True video first cameras use software or hardware *buttons* to change presets so a preset isn't locked to a dial position for ahandful of nameless presets. Button/software presets can change at any time and you have an unlimited number of *named* presets. We could have had both strengths with a switch between dials and custom presets that use buttons and software. But they went with PASM is just mediocre for anything. And now I can't grip my next Fuji camera, because it will be a an X-T or X-Pro. Super annoying.

If Fujifilm can not catch up autofocus with Sony or canon, it is done. The price is already catchup with full frame camera now.

[@bigheadtaco]

Well Fujifilm’s X-Mount has been around for 10 years and was always behind Sony and Canon when it comes to autofocus, and yet they’ve constantly grown in those 10 years. I think Fujifilm has captured a different segment of the market, one that isn’t looking for the fastest AF as their primary reason for choosing a camera. However, with the X-H2S, they are now encroaching on Sony and Canon’s ‘territory’ so yes they definitely need to improve they want to capture that part of the market.

Speaking of overkill - This guy will probably be the only one which can bring latest macbook pros with m1 max to its knees especially in 6.2k raw desqueezed ok not to its knees but pretty taxing. Arri Raw from latest alexa 35 would bring macbooks to their knees for sure 2tb for just 56 seconds that too not anamorphic aka open gate but no one will test that here for us mere mortals who will never see the whole $70k glory of alexa 35 lolz

No other camera manufacturer milks existing/old tech like Fuji.... really still 26MB pfff ....so how many years have the X crop sensor cameras been floating around the same tech.... I've been shooting Fuji for years now since my X30 which 7 years on they still have no replacement for???? If fitted with a crop sensor would have changed the landscape. I really get the feeling like they are misers and use tiny incremental stuff to keep us hooked ...and after years I'm still waiting for something revolutionary. Fuji care more for profit than they do our delights.

Talking too much about things anybody can read on the website

ApS-C not my favorite choice 🤷🏼‍♂️

All stationary shots except the Airplane clip which was horrible btw, and you call yourself a reviewer. Wow

[@ryanhoviolin]

And I suppose you can do much better? I see you have 93 subscribers to your channel in 5 years, what a success....oh and by the way, this is a first impression video, not a review
