The Fujifilm X-H2 High ISO Noise vs the X-T2

There is a difference between it does not matter and it is not an issue. IMO it does matter but it is not an issue with the XH2 sensor provided in dim light you ETTR, AF is perfect, and use a lens with a good contrast to have a high SNR. The 40mpx sensor is not forgiving approximate settings. As usual with new specs there is a learning curve to obtain optimal results.

When needed very high ISO will allow to catch the scene at the cost of some loss in IQ Denoising programs are just to help to maintain usability of the shot. It is clear that it is better to set camera in order to minimize the level of noise.

When I got my XH2 alongside the XH2s I fouynd it very noisy. Fortunately there are here participants who had already experience with the camera and there comments and advices helped me to obtain optimal results with the XH2.

At the end it is now for me no longer an issue.

Clearly the differences are personnel to each individual. That I am perfectly okay with. The issue I have is when anyone wants to tell anyone else what levels of comfort they should have with their own images.

I don't care how sharp, what noise levels anyone wants with their own results. But I have a huge problem anyone telling me what levels don't matter or isn't a issue for me.

By the way, I totally didn't agree with the yTuber Omar about the difference in IQ between the 2 sensors, 40MP and 26MP. I don't like yTubers doing those types of tests, then spreading it around as the Golden Goose that laid a Golden Egg.

I also believe that for the most part, Higher MP camera give more detail at the cost of more noise. All things else being equal. So I lean towards higher count MP cameras moving forward.
