Fujifilm X-H2S | 2 Years In, Do I Regret My Choice?

[@TwoTimesRmedia]

Welcome back bro. Great video.

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you, I really appreciate it

[@larrydiaz7156]

Hey Myron, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I really enjoy the way you get your point across and the footage looks amazing. You got a new subscriber. Keep it up!

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I definitely try not to put fluff in my videos. I will definitely keep making videos.

[@JanChoc]

Fuji with proper internal NDs would be game changer!

[@JaymesMedia]

Amen brother. The Fuji x100vi has one. They can give us internal NDS in the next iteration

[@mrbarkan]

I believe it would make the camera significantly larger. But yeah, that would be great.

[@francissosing]

Love it bro! 🔥🔥

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you my brother 🙏

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

nice review mate 🙂 I've got no need for the more complex codecs as I mainly use my camera (an X-H2) for stills. I bought ny daughter an X-S20 and really want to get one for myself to do more video. One day maybe 🙂

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you, I really appreciate that and I’m in love with the x-s20. Perfect B-Cam and can work as an A-Cam if we’re ok with its limitations.

[@markosaucedo]

I’m curious to know what sharpness and Noise Reduction setting you tend to have your camera set to. Nice footage 🔥

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you, I have them both set at Negative 4. I apply it in post

[@Armedconvict]

Hey man thanks for the great video, as a Pro Photographer with an XH2S, I'm looking to move towards video, I'd really love to pick your brain some time on getting started.

[@JaymesMedia]

Hey Jordan, thank you very much. I’m an always down to help. 🙏🙏🙏

[@KtsheMaifala]

Have you dealt with overheating? if so how do you go about it?

[@JaymesMedia]

I have but only when In direct sunlight, running 4K/60 for a long time or really humid conditions. Most of the time, the xh2s ran like a champ. I’m still mostly likely getting a fan for it.

[@KtsheMaifala]

@@JaymesMedia Esvare! love your chanel bro the xh2s is still unheard off and a solid build.

[@JaymesMedia]

@ thank you I really appreciate that. I still love this camera and it’s definitely my go to for paid gigs

[@EdRobles1]

Images are very detailed and rich. How’s the image stabilization in camera and with an OIR lens, when panning and faster stepping movement? And how’s the autofocus during movement and tracking?

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you, my secret is shooting my wedding between F2 & F4. I haven’t tried the Fuji with a lens that have OIS. The autofocus is fine for the most part and IBIS works but it’s not perfect.

[@SuperAirman24]

Do you use gimbals for weddings or the in camera ibis enough

[@JaymesMedia]

I use gimbals for my weddings

[@SuperAirman24]

@JaymesMedia thanks for replying. I had the xh1 and was thinking about getting the xh2s but I saw your comments about the af and then I saw other videos talking about this af issue. Has it been fixed now ? I've been out of the loop since xh1 and was planning to do weddings again and now I'm contemplating if I should go xh2s or look at sony. If you don't mind can you give me some insights

[@JaymesMedia]

@@SuperAirman24 yes, for the most part it work fine for me but I don’t trust any autofocus system and always make sure to place my focus point where I want it. The biggest issue was with their tracking autofocus. I don’t use it and only use single point autofocus.

[@Eyeofkamau]

Awesome video brother Our C1-C3 are the same haha

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you bro and I love it 🙏🙏🙏

[@allenschneider1847]

I've really thought about getting this camera but I'm hearing so many negative things about Fugi autofocus that I'm now considering getting a Sony A7iv. How has the auto focus been for you - especially with the firmware updates over this past year?

[@JaymesMedia]

Honestly autofocus been fine for me but I won’t use wide tracking until it’s fixed. I just area in continuous autofocus. Just shot a wedding this past weekend and had little to no issues

[@JaymesMedia]

@bigd7696 totally agree

[@nigerian-nightmare]

Can you not import flog2 in Davinci?

[@JackAmeen]

yeaahhh .. its just a clip

[@JaymesMedia]

You can now. I made this video almost 2 weeks or before Resolve 19 landed

[@KpSpacex]

I have an XT20 since 2018. I'm planning to upgrade to X-H2 or X-H2S. What's the advantage of these fuji flagships over a full frame camera? Seems like the full frame camera with nearly the same price are Canon EOS R8 and Sony A7IV.

[@JaymesMedia]

The Fujifilm flagship cameras do have specs that those full frame may not. 4K/120, ProRes HQ recording internally, ProRes Raw Externally, for video the Fujifilms will be better options but really it comes down to your personal preference. Rent them all and see which ones you prefer.

[@markschneider3915]

You're very talented, is the AF faster than thex-s20? Looking to upgrade my old X-T2 I do a lot of bird photography, The old Fujifilm cameras have great colors but the AF doesn't compare to my Olympus OM-1.

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that. To be honest, I haven’t notice the difference in speed between the two cameras but I also haven’t compared them shot for shot.

[@Fujiboy.mp4]

what lenses do you mostly use for weddings? those shots were so clean man

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you, most of those were shot on the sirui sniper 23mm & the sniper 56mm

[@Eyeofkamau]

@2:44 shot with the nightwalkers?

[@JaymesMedia]

Actually this entire wedding was shot on the Sirui Snipers

[@Eyeofkamau]

@@JaymesMedia nice! I love my 23mm. Still contemplating on whether I get the 56mm or not. Really excited for the 16 & 75mm that are coming. Well, for the nightwalkers they are… but they should be coming in sniper housing considering the two lines share the same glass.

[@JaymesMedia]

@@Eyeofkamau bro I can’t wait to get my hands on the 16 & 75. Those are going to be insane. I’m going to two 75 lenses.

[@CptCurk]

videographer loyal to fuji. I want a proper camera with internal pre rec function, eND, XLR, V/Gold mount battery and a cine viewfinder. Put all the X-H2S inside a body with those adds, I'm happy and buy it 3k€ or 3,5k€ ! :D

[@JaymesMedia]

I’m feeling the same way. Just take my money. 💵

[@CptCurk]

@@JaymesMedia rich peoples we are 🤣

[@JaymesMedia]

@@CptCurk 😅😅😅😅nah, there are way more expensive options lol

[@CptCurk]

@@JaymesMedia ahh and I forgot some stuff : timelapse option with flicker corrector (like sony), real dual iso to somthing like 800 / 6400, and a GYRO sensor for gyroflow (this is something needed for the X-H2S actaully. The gyro and accelero is here as sensor is stabilized)

[@callumleakfilms]

Hows the AF?

[@JaymesMedia]

It’s good. The tracking af needs work but it is fujis first iteration of it. I expect it to be fixed soon.

[@callumleakfilms]

@@JaymesMedia are you talking about the most recent update that came out like a week or so ago?

[@JaymesMedia]

@@callumleakfilms yes I am

[@callumleakfilms]

@@JaymesMedia Any update on the latest firmware? People saying it's trash :(

[@JaymesMedia]

@@callumleakfilms it’s better, I just shot a wedding this past weekend with little to no issues.

[@shahedkhantano]

your colour grading is on whole another level. can i get your ig?

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you, I really appreciate that. My IG:@jaymesmedia

[@infinitoreviews9365]

Amazing quality, look like cinema video.

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you, I really appreciate that bro 🙏

[@Puppetsinmyhead]

Damn no flog 2 in Dr. deal breaker 😩

[@JaymesMedia]

They just added support for F-Log2 in Resolve 19

[@Puppetsinmyhead]

@@JaymesMedia did they really! I’ve spent all day researching this camera, and I wanted it so bad until you broke my heart.🤣 but now I’m back in. I’m da Vinci for life. If I can’t bring my stuff natively in to it, I’m not doing it. I learned this with ProRes Raw.

[@JaymesMedia]

@@Puppetsinmyhead yeah bro they did, 10 days after I mad this video I think 😂😂😂. We finally have it after 2 years. I transcode ProRes raw. I use Assimilate

[@adnan_velic]

@@JaymesMediadoes it take a long time to transcode prores raw? I have a M1 Max laptop.

[@JaymesMedia]

@@adnan_velic not for me it don’t. At the same time, my clips aren’t that long just b-roll shots. I think it took me 1-2 hours to transcode a ceremony
