I’ve owned a X-T30 for several years and I’m in need of an upgrade. The main thing I’m looking for is an articulating screen as I do a lot of videos for my YouTube channel. Wondering if I should get the X-T4 which is $150 off right now or go for the XH2. 
 

I don’t do any pro work, mainly just photos of family and friends, and travel. On the video side it’s all YouTube videos of me speaking to camera and simple b-roll. 
 

I do own an Atomos Ninja that I use with the X-T30, but I mainly bought it as a display rather than a recording device.

Just got the X-H2 yesterday and really love the grip and the news lens AF is very fast in comparison to the X-T20 I gave to my wife. If you don't care about the grip, the huge 40mp sensor, the fast autofocus then the X-T4 is good enough especially with the price. Initially I'd rather get the X-T4 but the price here in the Philippines is just outrageous and they don't have body only imagine paying approximately 2,100.00 converted to USD while the X-H2 only costs approximately 150 dollars more than the X-T4 with Kit Lens.

I got the X-H2 in October shortly after it was released as an upgrade to my X-T2, and I am often shocked by just how amazing the 40 Mb sensor is. The upgraded autofocus is topnotch too. The X-H2 will be a camera you can use for years and years.

Yes, I feel you here the autofocus is amazing. I'm sure the body and features will last years too but hopefully the screen does as well :) I heard lots of people saying that the screen is less durable than that of the XT1,2,3 and 5 but lets see.

I have the X-T30 II and recently added an X-T4. I especially like the controls on the X-T4 with more dials for less menu hunting. I also like the physically larger body.

If it's articulating screens you want, it definitely has it, and I find it convenient and versatile.

No experience with the XH2.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
