Good find - I hadn't scrolled down that page far enough to see the main 'Movie Specification' table (see below). It's interesting that it offers DCI2K (2048 x 1080) as well as DCI4K. Also the 4k 50/60p crop is apparently lower with DIS ON than with DIS OFF (1.1x vs. 1.18x).

That's really interesting - i read that the HD on the XH2S was pretty bad though. Fingers crossed - looking forward to some tests!

Yeah i guess i found the overview:

https://fujifilm-x.com/en-gb/products/cameras/x-s20/specifications/

Looking at the specifications there are two columns next to the different formats called  "Crop Magnification" with DIS ON and DIS OFF.

I am only finding contrary information on additional crop factors( some say there is a 1,18 crop in 6K, some don't etc...)  . Did anyone find any additional information?

very cool! love the blacklight!  Any other videos you have ?

Thanks for the feedback! You mean other videos with blacklight?

Check out this new music video shot on A74 24-104 and UV light.

Check out some of my videos:

And i would be super happy if you would follow my Youtube Channel, a i am trying to grow it a bit.

Puh, this is another strange camera. Love the size and that it's a proper video camera for semi pros. Of course if you want to shoot a proper job you would prefer another camera but it has the right sizw to just put it in a pocket... Need to take a closer look at the photo features...

I work on mostly low budget feature films in the 30k realm. They can actually be incredibly profitable if you know what you are doing.

Can you share some of the movies you have worked on in this preice region? Very interesting!

I cannot bare poor Roll.Shutter on X-H2, R7.

I'd go for Canon R8, or Panas S5-II. R6-II also super attractive, CVP likes its ergonomics.

IX-H2s seems to have very little rolling shutter in Flog1 (Something between  5 and 6 ms) while it has 11-12 ms in Flog2. As i am also looking for a camera with little shutter, this seems quite interesting...

Prefer the X-H2 as the X-H2S is quite a bit more and the 4K/120p comes with a heavy crop. Also AF seems better on the X-H2, although I believe the latest firmware update improved matters on the X-H2S.

Here in Germany the price difference between X-H2 as the X-H2S is approx 200,-. Strange that the difference seems to be higher in other countries.

Going down that rabbit hole...

I think it's great that there is a world for these jack of all trades - whatever they are called.

I am wondering what you will be able to get out of this.  1,6 Megapixel (1000x1600?) plus Global Shutter...

Just give me a nice film emulation app and a cool case!

It's incredible that blackmagic has created these workhorse cameras - i see them everywhere. And i would not have thought so when the cams were released.

Let's see if there are any real innovation. From my side i would love to have a global shutter and a better formfactor.

eason it looks a little funky on YT is the footage was downscaled to FHD to soften it up, then upscaled back to 4K. With a heavy film stock grade in the middle. Kind of a weird process but it does come out filmic!

Yes, softer image = more filmic somehow.

There is something about that camera that looks so filmic! I would love to see that film without the youtube compression.

Seems like a great camera for me.

Good codec with overall good video functionality, good skintones, okay rolling shutter, small formfactor, small kitlens, EF Lenses can be adaptet, I can use  my APSC Lenses in APSC mode, "internal ND" Filter possible( in the RF-EF Adapter),...

If i would only have to shoot video i would definetely go with Panasonic ( or Fuji), but this seems like a camera that you also actually take with you and not leave in the hotel room when you're on holidays.

This was my main work camera for two years. I struggled with it. Coming from the C100, I thought that it would be a home run but I found myself missing the C100 a lot. The C100 was easier to handhold, had more reliable DPAF (even though it was center-weighted), and monitoring wasn't as confusing.

I was unimpressed with the H264 and only used CRL, recorded to a Solidpod that I mounted externally. Other C200 shooters have told me that they are okay with the noise levels, but to me the CRL footage was noisier than I was comfortable for client work at ISO 400 or above. After almost every shoot I would run NeatVideo on all of my footage, apply a LUT (unless they wanted CLOG2), and export ProRes files before handing it off to my clients. The resulting footage was really nice, but it took a lot to get there.

The day that I shipped the C200 out, I breathed a sigh of relief. I now have a C70, which addresses all of my problems with the C200.

Thanks for the honest review - it's a pass...

I keep getting tempted to get a Canon C200 for that Canon RAW, DPAF and Internal ND

I would love to hear some additional oppinions on the Canon C200. Does anybody have any experience? It seems to be a really good camera handling wise and at the moment you can find some real bargains.

I am also wondering how big the 2K Raw files are and how sharp - i hope they are using the full sensor... 

Seems an interesting option for my micro budget movies(2K raw) , music videos (4K RAw) and the occasional filming of the family( that 8 bit codec).

Merry Christmas to the whole EOSHD Forum crew!

i shot this little christmas film on the blackmagic pocket 6K pro with the Sigma 16-35 and the laowa probe. As it borrowed all the Lego models, the camera (thanks to Impossiple Filmproduction in Hamburg) the probe it was a whole lot of production time. Also it took quite long to set the whole thing up. Of course i wanted to tell little stories with the lego figures, but time became tooooo tight and it took me several attempts to find a lighting situation that would work. Of course the scene would have also been much greater if i had more of the practical lamps.I looked for small lights around the house and now there is a variety of lamps inside the houses.  You can fiddle around with the lighting for ages! i definitelely had the feeling i had to stop when i was just getting started. This might also be a fun thing to just shoot on an iphone.. Hopefully next year...

And of  course i would be happy if you would show the film to your children, share it and like and comment and follow my channel on youtube...

And to show the improvement i am also putting in the first LIL chilltrain Christmas movie from two years ago.

Sorry, somehow i cannot delete the upper comment.

Well done, this looks really good. Can you tell us about some of the technical details? What lenses at what focal lengths and apertures did you shoot, and what ISOs and compression settings did you use? Thanks.

Thank  both of you very much for your feedback!

Used the Sigma 18-35 1.8 lens on this shoot. The whole thing was shot in 3 hours with available light. I used the Tiffen black Promist 1/8 Filter and in the celar we added some Aerosol spray that i had still lying around. The oil lamp is actually a led light which was great as it has a dimmer- but i am very happy the tiffen hides the center of light so heavy. Of course it would hav been even greater if the led in the oil lamp could have been set to some kind of flicker mode .

Check out this video for Captain Gips: Shot on Blackmagic with the trusted Sigma 16-35 and all the exteriour shots on the iphone on a gimbal. I would love to see what an experienced grader could get out of the Gopro 11 - would be great to have a camera that i could hand out to my clients so they can take some shots during their travels. Sadly the Iphone was set to HD and 29 fps when they were filming this - but on the other hand they did some good camera moves...
