I currently own the XH2s and am considering purchasing and XH2. Is there an easy way to copy the basic settings from the XH2s to the XH2 or do I have to do this all manually? Thanks for any feedback.

Has anyone taken their XH2s or XH2 on Photo-Safari? How did it go and what lenses did you find the most useful? Can you post some photos from your trip? Wondering about using my Fuji cameras on a Safari to Africa in September or should I consider one of the Sony cameras? Would like to hear from others who have used Fuji. Wondering how valuable the extra reach and lightness of the kit is to the experience is. Also wondering the quality of the final result (which is the entire point anyway) Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I have everything else I need, camera, computer and lens wise. I am not a landscape photographer, so it will be mostly animals on safari. I will be shooting people as well, but I have what I need for that. Budget is not a concern, as most of the money is going into the trip, making the cost of an additional lens or so irrelevant. Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

I shoot with an XH2S, and I love it. However, should Fuji release a 40mpixel camera in 2025 with really good autofocus, I would probably jump for it as well. (don't want to discuss the benefits of the existing cameras available). My question is: I am headed to Africa for a Photo Safari in the Fall of 2025. Wondering which lens people recommend. I will be shooting from the back of a Jeep at various times of the day. People who have shot in this type of situation with moving animals, what lens did you use/recommend? There are a few to choose from. Please share your thoughts!

Why is there no landscape view in the Fuji XApp? Would be ideal for video shooters!

Amazon came through. They were in delay due to information from Fuji, but mine shipped yesterday and will be here today. FW is downloaded and screen protector waiting. Leaving for three weeks myself on a photo trip, so timing couldn't be better!

If you ordered the XT3 from Amazon, you may want to contact them. I was just informed that their release date has changed to the 24th. Yeah I know XXXX But the shipping will start from 24th. I was hoping to take it with me when I left town that weekend, and had ordered with 1-day shipping. However, now wish I had ordered from B&H!!!

Is the only real difference rechargable batteries?

So, which lenses are adapting best to the GFX? What are people using? Are the Contax lenses worth playing with? Mamiya? Looking for some "real-world" feedback. Thanks

What is "Jeweler's Roush"?

Somehow I have a small scratch right in the middle of the rear LCD on my X-T2. Looking to see if there is a simple, easy solution for how to remove it. It is not deep. I put a glass protector on it (too late) thinking that might cover, but it makes it more apparent. Looking for good reliable suggestions which will not further damage the LCD. Thanks

Look, personally I like Steve. I think he writes well and is really enthusiastic about whatever he is shooting. What bothers me is that there has become NO balance in his site and/or reviews. There is no such thing as the PERFECT camera. I shoot with the Leican M9, Fuji GFX and Fuji X-T2 - each is different and I use them for different things. While 20fps is impressive - so is an 8k video camera shooting 33mpixel images either 30 or 60fps! All I ask is that the reviewers should stop and think - wait a few days before writing your review. Think about the camera and how people spend their money and how they shoot. Think about what is "bad" about a camera and what could be improved. In other words - BALANCE!

Yeah, does not look like a bad camera at all. Price is a bit high. I also think it needs a better grip and full weather-sealing. However, these are minor gripes. My issue is calling it "The best camera EVER" before there is any real critical evaluation of the camera and comparison with the established market leaders. Personally, would love to try it for a shoot, though there is little chance I would ever buy Sony (due to a dislike of their menus and design philosphy). However, it does look like a very promising camera at this point.

I am encouraged if they have improved the electronic shutter in the a9. I have no doubt it is a good camera. I have NEVER seen a cost-savings on lenses as Sony lenses are priced in the extreme. Canon lenses are cheaper in general (smaller too). I have also, not until the recent G-series, never been too impressed with the native lens line up. The Sony menus and handling are horrible, while their tech is great. If they would just hire a really good photographer to help them with their menus and button layout they could have a real winner. My issue is all the superlatives coming out for a camera no one has in their hands yet. Let's get it out there and judge by the output. On paper it looks great. However, as we all know it matters how it works "in-hand".

I am not knocking the a9. Far from it. I just think to claim it as the "ultimate camera" before anyone has one in hand to be a bit disingenuous. I hope that it is a wonder, especially given its price! I am concerned about the "rolling shutter" issues as I have yet to see evidence that it is not present. It may be lessened, but eliminated is a stretch - though I am willing to be convinced. As far as AF, let's see some real-world tests before going off. OIS is still better than the 5-axis system in the Sony. Even Sony admits this and turns off much of the 5-axis once an OIS lens is attached. One thing is I don't care FF vs. APS. It is all in the ISO, AF, etc. No one looks at my prints and remarks on the size of the sensor. Can you tell? Better battery life is always good. $3,000 good? Maybe not. My point was not about the a9, but about the superlatives and brand idolatry that has pervaded the industry. I would like to see some real-world testing and comparison of the camera systems. I do not care for BS adjectives and support for certain brands regardless. I have used Sony cams. Personally, I do not like the handling, though the images are fine. Let's wait before crowning a "King of Cameras". Ok?
