Fujiguys Live Blog After The X Summit Event Starts Now
Earlier today we had a lot of interesting products launched during the X Summit. Now the Fujiguys are taking over with their live post-show so stay tuned for any interesting developments.
Live Blog:
- 10 years of X mount lead to the 5th generation X-trans sensor and processor
- Been calling the X-H2S the speed camera for anything that’s moving in photos or video
- The Stacked sensor helps with everything and getting ride of rolling shutter
- AF is extra sticky now
- 5th generation sensor is twice as fast as 4th generation
- AI AF will blow you away
- The AI only needs a birds head to know what it is tracking
- You can shoot 6.2k videos and just film the still
- X-H2S is in line with the Sony A1 and Nikon Z9, but it is smaller and lighter with more battery power
- APS-C is a great balance between size, weight, quality
- X-H2S IBIS technology can replace a gimbal
- Very high resolution through the EVF and it is crystal clear so it should make DSLR fans happy
- CFExpress is a great addition that allows for 720mbps compression
- Files have lots of latitude and dynamic range of 14+ stops
- ProRes RAW is new to X-Trans
- X-H2S has almost everything you would want for video
- Image quality isn’t just about pixel count
- Too much isolation can be a bad thing, especially for video
- APS-C is ideal for filming
- When X mount launched video quality was quite poor
- Fujinon has always been in the cinema world but now they have a truly great camera for cinema
- X-H2S has two grips the standard and networking grip that allows you to transfer files instantaneously
- X-H2S also has an accessory fan that integrates with the camera and is powered by the camera which is useful in hot conditions plus it is weather-resistant
- You can tune how the fan works yourself to maximize performance
- The fan is unnecessary for stills
- The X-H2S can be used to shoot events like the Olympics
- The X-H2S can be a 4k live stream camera
- Now they are showing clips
- X-Trans provides superior noise performance
- Fujifilm video has a pleasing mood to the footage
- 4k 120p adds a lot to production value
- X-H2S has a great dynamic range and color
- 4k 120p is clean

- Pair of X-H2 cameras which is a first from Fujifilm (I really hope X-H2 isn’t PSAM!)
- The new lenses are being launched largely for the 40MP sensor that is coming
- Hopefully the 40MP sensor will maintain the noise performance of the 26MP sensor
