Get a FUJIFILM XT4, NOT a XH2S... Here is Why!

================================================================== ============================================ ============================================ I Spent 2 years with the Fujifilm XT4 and I still believe that most people should get this camera over the new XH2S. Here is WHY!

What do you think about the X-T4 compared to the X-H2S?

[lumberjack]

Using them side by side, I don't miss the dials at all, as it outperforms the X T4 in every way. No more fiddling around with the unreliable und underperforming AF C. Much better grip, viewfinder ES, object and face recognition, bigger buffer, bursts without limits ... easier to reconfigure. For the photos showed in the video, even a X T2 isn't a bad choice. No improvements for the X T4 since release, so it's an investment in an two years old camera.

Been using my xt4 since 2022 and loving it !

[kbqvist]

You make some good point, and as a person with no interest in video I'm not in a hurry to replace X-T4..

[singularityJoe]

Cool video! Loved the first two shots of the bikers going up through 3 way stop, second one feels especially dynamic!

[CarlosPerezFilms]

Reason 1 and 2 are the main reasons for me to get the HS-2 mainly because I do use the feature and upgrades. The style matches my gfx100s and for aesthetics im going for the xe4/100v more than the xt4. But like you mentioned depends on the person and needs and I agree. If ots stills only, I see why the XH2 its not as appealing as for people that do video though.

xh2s is more video focused hybrid camera. Esp better autofocus is the main reason that i’m interested in xh2s. For taking photos xt4 is more than enough even xe4 with good lenses is a good choice imo.

Great video, been wanting to buy new gear like a blackmagic or a new Fuji XH2s for video. But realized The XT4 is more then good enough for all my needs right now

[giusssepe]

As you have said there are many parameters (mainly affecting video) that make XH2s way superior. And I do agree that the xt4 is enough for most users... But if you take productivity as a factor, and this is your tool to make money, I do think the design of the XH2s is superior, since is optimized for just that... I think the dials of the xt4, even if cool and bringing nostalgia are not optimized for productivity. Once you have experience with photography and aperture, iso, shutter speed are clear... is way better to twick them using only one small wheel... click adjust, click adjust... makes it obviously more quick and easy to handle... Otherwise you have to go to each wheel of each parameter and adjust each setting independently... many times even taking the eye out of the viewfinder. Not optimal... With the XH2s you make it quickly and you do not need to think much about it. The wheel to change from custom configurations is great, since you can create a base for each scenario you photograph at... Studio, street, nature, B&W, portrait, product... At the end you become more Productive, and that is money...

I love my xt4. Don't care much for the xh2s. But the XH2...that I am saving for. I want the resolution for fine art work

[rutlegs]

Nice video, you just earned a new subscriber! I just traded all of my Nikon gear in on a used XT4. I've been using an Xt-20 that I bought used and fell in love with the film simulations and ease of use.

[mvuso]

Look, I guess it depends on pocket size and use case. If price is the concern Id even pass on the xt4 and go for the xs10 🤭

Infact that is what ive done😅. Great little mini xt4 and gets the job done. In the short time I have had it the only very specific scenario where it’s autofocus leave something to be desired is tracking my little one. Hit rate drops to about 80%. So uhm, i just delete the other 20% and my math goes back to 100% hahaha. Really not a big issue for me really

Personally I prefer the PSAM Dial as I am used to shooting with a DSLR for many years (mainly Nikon). That is exactly why I bought the brilliant little Fujifilm XS-10-it is a mini powerhouse with some of the XT-4 goodness. The XT-4 is still a great camera and you could argue that Canon has only just about caught up with the release of the R7. As a wildlife photographer/videographer the X-H2S is very appealing because it has 4K 120fps video and 40fps burst (stills) plus the new subject detection AF but it is just too expensive for me right now. And that new XF 150-600mm lens is one that I desire too!

[lorenzocorro]

love the video! Is it too much if I ask what film simulation you're using to take all these photos?

[Enrique-the-photographer]

I completely agree with you, I’ll wait to see what the X-T5 brings to the table, but it would have to be “more than amazing” for me to upgrade to it, I really enjoy using the X-T4 and the results that I get. On a separate note, ever since I got the XF33 f/1.4 for my street photography the XF16-80 is collecting dust. BTW, very nice images. Be well and stay safe.

Love my XT 4 - so much like my beloved Nikon FE 😎❤️

[patrickscharpf]

Hi Thierry. Thanks for this very informative and well made video review, especially also for the sample shots with your XT4. One thing I would love to have your opinion on is about how you think the newly announced H2 is comparing to the XT4 in terms of image quality. Do you have any experience or information about this?

[fotokozlowski]

I buy Fujifilm camera mainly because of color science, film simulations and overall small and light factor. Before Fujifilm I was shooting Canon DSLR for over 10 years, so for me PASM dial is natural and logical way to control camera. I get it, that this retro controls may be fancy to use, but they are also clumsy. For example, You need to use both hands to control aperture ring, or shutter ring in X-T4. In camera with PASM dial, you can adjust those settings by one hand. Then, shutter dial has only full 1EV steps, if You need more precise control of shutter speed, you are force to use rear control dial anyway. And at the end.. Let's say that I'm trying to take photo of my dog while running (I'm using X-S10 + XF 33/1.4), and I've like 1/10 shots in focus :) So yeah, I choose X-H2s over X-T4 all day long. You are to biased towards Fujifilm retro controls scheme ;)

[bcegerton]

I have the Xt3 and have no interest in the XH2 s, truthfully I’ve had the Xt3 two years and still can’t seem to get along with it completely but due to financial constraints I’m stuck with it for now and if anything I may move up to the xt4 for it’s ibis and battery life.

[marleenvandam]

I have the XH2s and XT4 both in use and can assure you that the XH2s is a far better camera!
