4K downscaled from 5k. 120fps average (some aliasing/moire). looks more like user error, as @pszilard test above shows much better AF using correct settings. btw, still confused about if H1 has dual axis level indicator as above test shows single axis (as on XT2)? Assuming X-H1's FHD is identical to XT2's then it's not as good as D750's since there is pixel binning and aliasing on jagged lines.

Don't know if this is user error or early firmware but in this test the H1's AF is miles behind the XT2's and basically fails which of course doesn't make sense.:

sounds like you guys are talking more about post-production wow factor tricks than actual camera inherent mojo.. it seems shooting super-slomo at super shallow DOF + a LUT gets instant mojo approval yet i believe there's also mojo on the hardware side. not that many cams have it imo.. it's a mix of color science, motion cadence, dynamic range, sensor type etc.. obvious mojo cams to me are Alexas, BMPCC 2.5K, 5D3 ML Raw, 1DC, Digital Bolex, D750, Fujis.. of course one shouldn't underestimate the lens pairing either..

Chris & Jordan just commented about skintones in their live A73 Q&A: "green-magenta cast on everything" "WB was correct, strange tint issues on skintones " "Sony still far behind in color science": glad to hear i'm not the only one seeing this..

Specs are killer but I can't get over that yellow cast in mixed light shots (including all over Max in his review). Looks like AWB is still crappy. Or is it just the color science? both? I know Andrew talked about the new HLG profile giving more Canon like skin tones in a A7R3 article? wish there was a bit more talk about this and footage examples of how this improves the Sony color science issues. Again this is my main gripe with Sony's as I simply can't afford to lose time in post correcting each shot nor do I often have time to use color checkers, custom WB & adjust profile color settings when shooting R&G.. To round it off, I assume these issues Max listed last month are still present:

@j-oc How is the 2K (FHD 17:9)? I assume no crop but is there any less binning artifacts than regular 1080p? shame Natural Live View on Flog doesn't act as a "view assist". I'm pretty sure Johnny from C5D had said so in his initial H1 review..? as for the dual level indicator, so you can confirm it has pitch & roll? cuz all the H1 videos i've seen seem to only show the green horizontal roll indicator?

@jonpais Yes, you can see it briefly in operation in the last video on the previous page (H1 launch event) at around 5:45. touch focus even seems to work when using the EVF.

@j-oc: Congrats & bon appetit! i'm curious about the touch to focus, if it can do a smooth rack focus? does natural live view on F-Log apply a view-assist like function to preview footage? also can't find anywhere in the manual if the H1 has dual-level axis level indicator (like GFX50) or single-axis like XT2?

sorry but no, he didn't say 8-bit isn't the right tool for his intended use, he claimed "fact remains these aren’t the requirements for any serious and aspiring professional in this industry" which implies 8-bit cameras cannot be considered serious professional tools for videography. i find that statement indeed offensive/inflammatory/ignorant. as for the point about soderbergh, it was just to illustrate that "standards" don't mean much even in cinema. and btw he isn't the first to do it. george lucas shot star wars AOTC on a 8-bit Sony in 2002 as pointed out here recently. movie grossed $650 million. anyways, the fact remains if you need a 10-bit camera, it's either GH5 or 10-bit video camera. not much point debating it in any other current mirrorless/ dslr thread imo.

To be fair, Sony have been listening and their latest gen bodies/batteries are narrowing the gap between consumer/prosumer. Also instead of cutting off a bunch of features and pricing the cam at 1400/1500. Sony actually gives you a lot of their flagship specs for "only" $2000. It's a smart strategy. People think they're getting a bargain when they are going to be spending a lot more for the entry-level model than previously.

No offense but this is BS. There are a lot more than a few people making money with 8-bit cameras. From YouTubers, to wedding/corporate/commercial videographers, R&G, indie film etc.. one could argue 8-bit is "the normal thing". Not sure what you consider the "industry" but there is now a whole new digital platform outside of broadcast television that doesn't care about any old "standards". (which btw is what.. BBC/EBU standards?) Even cinema doesn't really care.. Soderbergh's next movie was shot entirely on iPhone 7+ and just premiered at Berlin Film festival last month.. Anyways i sense trolling.. because we all know only a single mirrorless/dslr camera exists on the market today that shoots 10-bit internally. So.. just get that or pony up for a pro video cam. Easy.

please fellows, lets not encourage shit-posting.. some people are genuinely interested in this camera.. X cinema page up on Fuji's site with a bunch of new videos shot on H1: https://fujifilm-x.com/cinema/

jeepers creepers...WTF?! some commenters see to think "it's caused by light reflecting off the phase detect sensors" .. so basically the on-sensor AF system is at fault here?!

I beg to disagree.. while every camera will handle things differently, the XT2 is the first camera that consistently nails just about any artificial/mixed lighting i've thrown at it.. inversely, Sony's tend to always have this ugly yellow cast (A7S was greenish) that requires fixing in post. it's no secret and as you know Andrew has made extensive examples displaying zombie skin tones and such in his EOS profile promos.. i don't know another camera brand with such wacked out SOOC color science..

That's the thing though, many times when run & gunning you don't have time to manually set WB or use color checker or dive in to change settings for every changing scene. This is when AWB & accurate color science becomes vital and where my experience with Sony has been poor..

@Don Kotlos You're entitled your opinion of course but I'd have to say you are in the vast minority if not the first person i've ever heard claim Sony to have the best color science!

All of those shots are done outdoors in daylight conditions, where Sony struggles is in artificial/mixed lighting. Trust me i've spent years on all systems. I guess in between Canikon it could be somewhat subjective but for sure Sony always lags behind in this department...

@Arikhan thanks as an ex-sony shooter i'm well aware of these fixes. fact remains that with Canikon/Fuji the skin tones look right SOOC. it really baffles me that after so many camera releases Sony still haven't perfected their overall color science and AWB (although indeed i hear A7R3 improves on this). it's the one hang-up i got with Sony. otherwise solid specs for the price.

... you guys sound surprised as if Canon was really going to give DPAF, 4K, no-crop & manageable codec in a sub-$1K body when it hasn't even done so on their flagship 1DX2 / 5D4 / 6D2!! watching that unbox video though i gotta say the 1080p looked cleaner/sharper than i've ever seen a non-cinema Canon camera produce and if you forget the crop & dual pixel absence in 4K, the IQ remains pretty strong with those pleasing Canon skin tones. so my verdict is if you're on a tight budget doing 1080p interviews or vlogs with the occasional macro 4K product shot, this might not be as bad as it seems. and of course this paves the way for upcoming better spec'd higher-end models ( i still want to see c-log, peaking & zebras in non-cinema line).

FS5 is due for a Mark 2 update.. SOOC the latest Sonys (A9, A7R3, A73, A6500) already have a better 4K IQ. but they are throwing in the RAW update and it can do 240fps in RAW (with external recorder). It still remains a pro camera, you're paying for ergonomics, XLRs, SDI, variable ND etc.. anyways i don't think they'll hold 10-bit on A7S3 as there wouldn't be much incentive left to buy one after this announcement (it appears A73 beats A7S2 in lowlight)

+ no crop 120fps, nice quality APS-C/super35 mode - worst RS, still that ugly yellow cast on skin tones

Impressive, including ISO performance (which Jason says beats A7S2 ?!). i think this almost guarantees 10-bit / 4K 60p for the A7S3! 2018 going to be a strong year for cameras..

my point exactly, however, i am not sure the list was that constructive at all... as yet again he berates Fuji ergonomics even going as far as "to encourage photographers to think about whether an aperture ring is really more efficient than a thumbwheel" which indeed should be perceived as flaming since the aperture ring (and ISO/SS dials which he also likes to complain about) are inherent core elements of the Fuji X system. the list also suggests "Fuji might have made better use of the LCD screen real estate" as I believe the LCD icons are too small for his eyesight (?), yet he disregards H1 addressing that with the new top sub-monitor giving clear settings info (even when the camera is off!) and allowing the back LCD to be clutter-free. the rest of the list "reminds", "speculates" & "alerts"... anyways, I just find it all reeks of negative bias, and has all been stated over & over which is why i called him out on that.. must agree this thread is definitely a dead-end mess. SMH

@jonpais a crime no. but stating the above repeatedly over & over is excessive and reeks of negative bias. you've made these points clear pages ago, why not give it a rest and move on? camera clearly isn't for you.. me personally none of what you list there is even close to being a deal breaker and aperture ring control (along the ISO/SS top dials) is what drew me to Fuji in the first place.. different strokes for different folks

@Kisaha i wasn't referring the GH5 as low ranking but the GH5S (currently at #59) as it is also a recently announced flagship camera. the GH5 is doing good of course (#18) as are other "older" cameras and low budget ones too. here is the link (rankings get updated hourly): https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Mirrorless-Cameras/zgbs/electronics/3109924011#1 of course it's to be taken with a grain of salt as it only represents sales from a single outlet/region yet i was surprised to find the H1 ranking so high up considering it's not even released. i think Fuji has struck a really good price/feature/design ratio. @anonim .. it's kind of obvious a flame war gets started when people from various competing systems step in just to berate a camera/system. it's happened here, trust me. as an outsider though this may give you several perspectives as there is no perfect camera for everyone.
