The Fujifilm X-H2S is an absolute speed demon, but its 26.1MP stacked sensor and 40fps burst rate are only as good as the storage you put inside it. If you’re shooting 6.2K ProRes or high-speed wildlife sequences, a standard SD card simply won’t cut it. After testing various media in the X-H2S, I’ve found that…
The Fujifilm X100V is a masterpiece of design, but its fixed 23mm lens has one notorious Achilles’ heel: it isn’t truly weather-sealed until you add a filter and a hood. Finding the right balance between protection, style, and optical performance is tricky. I’ve spent years testing rangefinder-style accessories, and after countless street sessions, I’ve found…

The Fujifilm X-S20 is a hybrid powerhouse, boasting 6K internal recording and a dedicated Vlog mode that begs for professional audio. While its internal microphones are “fine” for quick memos, they often capture distracting wind noise and lens autofocus hum. To truly do justice to your content, an external microphone is non-negotiable. After testing dozens…
The Fujifilm X-T5 is a masterpiece of tactile photography, but its compact “SLR-style” body can feel cramped when pairing it with heavy XF zooms like the 50-140mm. You might be searching for a vertical battery grip, but here is the expert truth: Fujifilm intentionally omitted those connectors to keep the X-T5 small. I’ve tested the…
The Fujifilm X-T5 is a beautiful piece of engineering, but that 1.84-million dot tilt-screen is surprisingly vulnerable to the hazards of the field. Whether it’s a stray jacket zipper or the inevitable “nose smudge” while using the EVF, your LCD takes a beating. I’ve spent years testing gear, and I can tell you that a…
