Say track and field - handheld (with IBIS?)

Is there a downside bumping the shutter speed up?

Will do! But don’t think there’s a small portable 8k sensor out there? Could you shoot 4k60p in high frame rate for action sports?

Makes sense! Curious about smaller form factors - Nikons are too big for travel for most i'd think. fx30 body is a great size.

Is it possible to shoot action sports in 4k60p and grab frames to print that have good quality? What is the max size you'd feel comfortable doing? Was curious because the fx30 may be a good video camera and if action frames could be grabbed, edited, printed it may forego the need to do individual photography for personal use. Although I do know the a7c2 and a6700 are coming out and may be better solutions but still curious.

Appreciate the response and agree! Well said! it’s amazing what people are able to get on an iPhone and since most of what’s being played back is ok YT and not large screens, it made me think - why spend thousands on equipment when you can get 90% of that look on a phone? Someone on this forum years ago made the argument that this would happen with phones catching up to dslrs and now mirrorless. I think we’re at the precipice of that where sensor size isn’t as important as processor except for light (iso/lowlight). Maybe by iPhone 16-18 many cameras will be I delete and sales tank? Why doesn’t apple get into the camera business? I was looking at Ricoh/x100v for travel as a nifty photo setup but wondering if the iPhone 14 pro and dehancer etc can replace them since you can get 48mp.

Why are all enthusiast/hobbyists not just using iPhones?

Bumping to discuss. Newer videos I’ve seen and I don’t see highlight rolloff issues:

Woah. Thanks! So it seems the processor is most important. So when there is the older sensor in the xs20 but the same processor as the xt5 how does that affect differences in image?

What is the relationship of each of these on: 1. color 2. dynamic range 3. highlight roll off etc? for example the new xs20 has an older xtransIV sensor but newer processor while the xt5 has a brewer trans V sensor and newer processor. A little confused.

How will the image compare to the xV sensor in the xt5 for video?

saw some reviews on YT and my immediate takeaway is that I can't tell much of a difference in image quality, with a quick look, compared to the z6II. are we at a point that improvements in sensor tech/software for imaging is limited or are they purposefully not investing in DR/color and instead putting more into other gidgets/gadgets like IBIS, open gate, etc?

no just videos 🙂

How about this combo!?

well said! i'm seeing the biggest, so far in my research, is the overheating in xt5 😞 the R5 cursed us all!

I'll look into the xt5 - i figured it was hamstrung for video and larger than an xs10?

That's positive and inspiring! OF course it would look better, the wedding, with an a7iv or r5 or even an xh2s, that said this is a great example of fitting the solution for the individual. I will now be scoping those two as a good all-around enthusiast combo for photo and video for travel, documentary, personal every day carry uses, etc. Love it! And if I get to the point where I need longer than 10-30m clips at a time I will then look into a more appropriate video camera. SOOC is my preferred workflow.

Ahh I get it. That said, I guess i'm looking for a primary camera that can live on my shoulder and in a bag so the XH2S is too big for that daily work. It would be a good video camera for me I think though! Basically, I'd like to take photos that have the SOOC fuji look that's fairly compact (xt30II/xe4) and then have a dedicated "video" camera for the times I want to film things when traveling, mini docs etc. An XS10 body would be better for that than the xh2 due to size. Not sure you'd want to be with a partner or friends in Italy and sporting an XH2s as you go to museums, beaches, night clubs, hiking etc. ?

Excellent points and reinforces my desire to shoot fuji. The x50/100 is pricey for a non-pro like me but I will also want compact like xt30II or xe4 and will pursue those unless the upcoming Fuji event announces good successors. And for video I may stick with fuji in the form of an xh2s or wait and think on what to do for video.

Looks great! keep up the good work 🙂

Humans, thanks!

That is quite frustrating! Fuji offers almost the perfect image SOOC for users like myself - non-paid enthusiasts for casual docs/travel. I'm wondering if it goes back to previous ideas i've had of a dedicated video camera as well as camera - but what fuji camera has great AF, compact design, and doesn't overheat for photo? And what dedicated video camera would compliment and not break the bank too much?

I won’t be using log I’ve learned. That said, the xh2s is too big of a body - I’d prefer a more compact setup. My two biggest worries going back to Fuji - 1. autofocus 2. ISO performance is the xt5 sensor different than xt4? Is it much worse than xh2s for video and photo?
