So with all of that said, do you (or anybody out there) find eye af would have a really high hit rate (like a Canon/Sony) with kids without setting af to confirm focus first? at something like 10fps ? And does that confirm-first method feel laggy? Really dying to finally get a Fuji and it’s awesome AWB/SkinTones/colors w/ great eye af like Sony, etc… or close…. Thanks!

That’s the issue isn’t it.

So consider this

Canon EOS R6

Mechanical 12 FPS

Electronic 20 FPS

Prone to Rolling Shutter

Sony A7 IV

10 FPS Max

Electronic is Prone to Rolling Shutter

Fuji X-H2S

Mechanical 15 FPS Max

Electronic 40 FPS Max 0 Blackout with AF

Rolling Shutter is not a significant issue at all.

So, if you can drop to 15 FPS Electronic with a 100% hit rate, and you’re only dropping about 11% of the frames at 40 FPS Electronic Shutter, then I would say it is already ahead of the competition that is in the same price range.

Oh and Confirm AF was about 15 FPS, so that’s pretty damn good. Also, I can shoot Electronic shutter without worrying about distortion. This is a crop sensor A9 II or A1 class camera.

Ah, great, thanks for the breakdown! Fuji sounds like a powerhouse w/ that stacked sensor for sure and I do love so much about Fuji cameras already. Sony A7IV skin tones weren’t my personal fave and it’s now between r6 and x-h2s for me. Advantages w/ both and a tough call. Thanks again for starting a thread and for sharing those shots!

Same issue with Sony skin tones. I was a Fuji shooter who left Fuji for the eye detect/sticky AF of the A7IV. Did keep X100V. Have been testing A7IV & X-H2S side by side for weeks.

caveat… I’m no pro. My shooting is family, pets, travel, casual landscape/outdoors. tested with 50mm 2.5 on the Sony (like this lens more than Sony Zeiss 55 1.8) & 33mm 1.4 on Fuji.

AF/eye detect/sticky - H2S is 90-95% of the A7IV for me (humans) & about 80% of the Sony for pets .. smaller sample size.

ISO noise - I like ‘structure’ of Fuji noise better. Seems less electric/hyper on zooms. Both comparable without peeping IMO.

Ergonomics - Sony easier to use for me.

Shutter - Sony is a ‘law and order’ shutter. H2S shutter is glorious.

EVF - Sony is 720p & H2S is IMAX

Selling all my Sony gear and going back to Fuji for main body.
