Fujifilm X-H2 Mirrorless Digital Camera XF16-80mm Lens Kit – Black

Great camera
To keep it simple, here is a list of the strengths and weaknesses of this camera:+ The image clarity is amazing and you can especially notice it when using the new 18mm, 23mm, 33mm, or 53mm lenses. Those are the three new primes made specifically for the additional pixels.+ As with all of the Fujifilm cameras, the lens simulations are awesome. I have previously owned both Nikon and Cannon cameras and I may have used maybe 1% of the images straight out of the camera without editing in Photoshop etc. With the Fujifilm camera I probably use 25% of the images straight out of the camera and I am very picky with what I will use.+ The focus speed is very fast and accurate. I really didn’t have any problem with the X-T4 with regards to it’s autofocus speed but this one is even better although not by a large margin in my opinion. There just wasn’t a large room for improvement at the start.+ The size of the camera is perfect for my hands. It is a bit larger than the X-T4 but not that much heavier and the size hits in my end very well with out putting on a bracket like I had to with the X-T4 which probably made it weight the same anyway.+ I really love how they adjusted the display so you could always have the 3D electronic level on. I hope that they do this with all of their cameras in the future. I use this all the time with so many shots so it is nice to have in automatically on at all times.+ The in camera view is extremely clear and never blacks out and with the fast refresh rate, you never miss an image and the clarity is amazing.+ The new autofocus button (M, C, S). I am indifferent to the button but do really like being able to set it to go along with my C settings on the PSAM dial. Because of portrait settings I like certain settings but I prefer manual for landscape and being able to do this to this level I really like.-+ The PSAM dial. I would actually prefer it did not use this dial. However, it is VERY useful to me with regards to all of the settings one can adjust with the C pre-defined settings. I really wish Fujifilm could figure out a way to allow a person to control all of the settings (like image size, image quality, autofocus setting, etc.) with the Q settings in the other cameras like the X-T4. I do not understand why they can’t do this in the others and I find this very useful and then I would not want the PSAM dial at all.- My biggest hang up is in the removal of the the clickable command dials. I really hate this! It is very nice in the other cameras to be able to set this to things like the ISO so you don’t have to waste a button and are very easy to adjust quickly.- This is getting EXTREMELY picky but a friend of mine has the old Fujifilm XF-10 camera. I rarely use the Filter settings but he was showing me all of the extra ones on his camera and some of the cool images straight out of the camera. I do not understand when they have already done the programming to create these, why they don’t do that on all following cameras.There are very few things that I dislike about this camera and am actually very pleased with how well it both handles and performs.

Outstanding camera
I’m really pleased with the X-H2. As a long time Nikon shooter, I wanted a high megapixel count mirrorless to play with. 8000 shots later, I must say, I have not been disappointed. Superb detail, excellent low ISO colors, and cool film simulations make using it a lot of fun. I doubt casual users will see a reason to pay the price. (many less expensive choices for point and shooters) Advanced users will love it.

A perfect camera
I’ve tried cameras from almost each brand and I can easily say that this camera has such a beautiful edge on most APS-C. Amazingly perfect for the value and the light weight versatility packed into a small body.

Best Fuji so far
I had somewhat love and hate relationship with Fuji starting from X-T1, then X-T2… Greatly appreciated the concept, dials interface, The FUJI colors. Was frustrated however from gripless ergonomics and lack of IBIS, which was addressed by X-H1, but killed by some crazy Fuji planning managers by releasing X-T3 with new sensor generation shortly after X-H1 launch … fast forward 4 years to X-H2…1) ergonomics: Disaster! Not here and not there. Lack of dials is very disappointing. Grip is absolutely not comfortable. Really don’t understand those Fuji planners. If you want to copy that PASM dial like from Nikon and Canon then why on earth don’t you copy their form factor as well? Handling of Canon R5 is nothing short of incredible, Z7 almost the same. The X-H2 ? just awkward, Fingers and palm are never resting. Pity.Image Quality: Incredible. was expecting huge hit in grain due to 40mp sensor. Nothing….even better than my old XT2. Don’t even see those worms like artifacts when sharpening in Lightroom.Speed: Incredible if to compare to XT1, XT2Autofocus: Honestly speaking i left the Fuji camp due to inability to shoot Birds in flight.I understand that X-H2 probably not on the level of R5 or A1 but happy to see THE VERY huge advance over XT2. Tracking and birds focus works just nice for me. I only had it for a couple of weeks so i will update how it works with tele lenses especially with Nikon 500mm via Fringer adapter.

Lots to like. Even has GPS that I didn’t knew it had. Coming from full frame Canon DSLR’s. Got the Fringer adapter for all my Canon lenses and they work well with it. The Jpegs coming right out of the camera are extremely nice with lots of film simulations to choose from. It may change how you think about raws on this camera. I would more heavily edit the raws on my Canon’s to get what I like, not so much on the XH2. Jpegs edit well but not really needed imagine that. Low light high iso is just ok, not quite like my full frames. The resolution is fantastic but the file sizes are large and will become an issue. More storage solutions coming my way. Kit lens is good but not stellar for this high resolution camera. Everything you would expect from a flag ship camera.
