So after spending about 3 weeks with X-H2s, I find myself liking more than I dislike, but some aspects aren't living up to my expectations.

CONTROLS

So, the controls are an issue for many people used to shooting with the X-T line of cameras... I personally love the X-Tx line of control and wish that were something they kept for the X-H2s, but they didn't. However, I do not consider this a deal breaker, as the 7 custom setups can more easily preset AF, shooting mode, EV Comp, AF Type, Burst Type, and IQ settings. This is all pretty intuitive and not a bad way to shoot over all.

Question about the C1-7 setup options that I haven't seen in reviews. Can you mix both photo and video in the custom setups? I shoot both a lot, so it would be nice if I can have a few custom setups for 24/60/120 fps and have the shutter at double the frame rate, gamma settings and such - along with a photo presets for birds, people and landscapes.

I'm in the Sony and Fuji camp, still can't decide if the XH2s will fit my needs. I wish Fuji had a tap to track option like Sony's, but that's not a deal breaker. I'm mostly looking at how easily I can move between photo and video settings.

Cheers

Chris
