I want to see badly how the chroma channel of F-Log looks like on this new body, but noone seems to have shared any originals. Let me know if you find any.

WaitWhat Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM8ejsR_-MQ Pretty good footage with better narrative... First watch on my tablet I didn't notice anything but later on my desktop monitor I found weird noise in the shadows. What do you think guys ?

Colour in this video reminds me of some GH4 videos shot in Cine D and graded. Not bad but also not astonishing. Here is an example of a GH4 video which compares pretty well to the Fuji video imo. Dynamic range is recognizably less in some parts of the video. It´s a different colour palette and a good example of 8bit goodness under these harsh light conditons. At 2.10 it´s falling apart for a few seconds but other than that, not bad for an 8 year old 8bit camera. webrunner5, IronFilm and newfoundmass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got good results with DaVinci Resolve. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the Canon FD lens helps too to get the final touch of the picture look. webrunner5 and PannySVHS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First watch on my tablet I didn't notice anything but later on my desktop monitor I found weird noise in the shadows. What do you think guys ? I think it looks superb and makes me wanna dump my gear and go out and shoot with an XH2S immediately! According to the BTS video/page it was all shot in 6K open-gate mode, mostly Flog2 and those noisy shots were at ISO8000. I like the Fuji noise though it resembles film grain not ugly chroma noise or banding. https://fujifilm-x.com/fr-fr/stories/x-h2s-short-film-where-are-you-going-x-aditya-varma/ webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Harper Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I love the look of these Fuji mirrorless cams - just waiting for them to get their video AF sh*t together. If they had I would've bought a couple of XT4s and called it a day, years ago. Any word on whether it's looking better with the XH2S?

MrSMW Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Which is what I should have been doing just over 2 years ago and then I’d be switching up 2 of those 3 bodies Spring ‘23. Covid killed that for me but I was already struggling a bit with the lenses. They have now fixed that for me. It’s an option for next year but I’m in no rush and no fixed plans so… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the usual caveats about pre-pro firmware, video AF looks good in this one that @Django posted back on page 3 https://youtu.be/NpBN7-qGgWE webrunner5 and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 After my personal fiasco with the R7 (on the other thread) I explored a bit the Fuji option, mainly because of the versality of the new 18-120mm. At the moment, locally, the total cost of X-H2S+18-120+battery= 4.000euros Not too much, but not a bargain ofcourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaitWhat Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Except some red fringing (maybe because of the Vitrox Lens), it looks definitively good. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethin Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I just saw the pricing in Australia I was expecting 3-3.5k AUD, but $4200 is kinda nuts. Sigh webrunner5 and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Perhaps the first ProRes RAW shot project: The super grainy grade is a little extreme but there is just something about that 3:2 open gate mode I love. The DR looks really good too and overall this extreme grade shows the image is quite flexible. Also here is the BTS: https://youtu.be/ER_Ec8YbXss PannySVHS and webrunner5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I always laugh when they want you to buy a 2500 dollar camera and they show the results using 100,000 dollars of shit and a crew of 10 to get the shot.

Django Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Lol I'd normally agree with ya but if you look carefully aside from that one gimbal crane rig shot most of the shots are just the guy alone with a tripod. For the ProRes RAW recording on Atomos he's got an assistant (probably from Fuji). The rest of the visible crew are probably just typical people you'd find on any music video set (props, makeup, sound etc). It honestly wasn't overkill. Also that BTS is for two separate music videos, that's why it may seem like there's a lot people/gear.. I find this type of real-life shoot so much more interesting than pixel peeping color/DR charts or walking around backyard testing AF/IBIS.

They are all at it… Sigma did it with the FP (fella in the trailer with the specs and the Japanese kid in the shop?) and Panasonic with the S1H (Kepler something…) Great little films and to be fair, a good showcase for those that do work on such type things with a bit of a budget and crew. I’m just inspired if I can get even close as a one man band. I can’t, but as they say, shoot for the stars and you might just hit the moon… I do own a cine lens and use it on every job 😬 webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as even for a budgeted/crewed production, then 10 people is still rather micro-sized. And it is fair enough if they want to show off the camera in the best possible light.

Django Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 right but again though aside from one crane shot he's just shooting alone on a tripod, sometimes even handheld no gimbal, no cine lens involved either: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
