Re: X-T4 vs X-H2s/X-H2/X-T5 (for Portraits, Sports, Street, Travel)
5
Questions:
1. Just how much better is the X-H2(S) autofocus than that of the X-T4 in real life scenarios (I have watched some videos, but would love to get more input).
The X-H2s AF is snappier and tracking is more accurate
2. Does anyone have experience testing the X-H2S vs the XH-2 (or have a good article/video on it to recommend)?
I recommend you ignore any reviews that are not by native Fuji shooters. It takes a month or so to fully understand a camera and reviewers that cover many brands rarely put in the time. Because of this there setup is not optimal and the results they experience are not accurate.
3. For that matter, how does the autofocus on the X-Trans 4 (X-T3/4/etc) compare to the X-Trans III cameras (X-T2/X-Pro 2) (I know its significantly improved but curious to hear from people who made the jump)
4. For anyone’s who’s upgraded to the X-H2S/X-H2, do you feel it was “worth it” and why?
5. Should I perhaps consider "switching systems" for sports? Do any systems with better AF have a reasonably priced body / long zoom lens setup? (I love Fuji so I'd probably either keep the X-Pro 2, or maybe pick up an X-Pro 3 on closeout and continue to use Fuji for non sports work) (obviously this wouldn't be cheap...)
If you switch systems you will have a significant outlay and learning curve. If you keep the Fuji gear you will have trouble mastering both and this will be a killer for your sports photography.
Some thoughts:
- Do not over extend your budget
- You can't take back photos that you might have made with better gear
- As you are not being paid, you might be able to sell images to players. Be carful of the deal you have with the team that is allowing you access
