Fujifilm X-H2 with 8K to Cost Less than Panasonic GH6 with 6K

Share

I am not a micro four thirds hater.

On the contrary!

In my journey on the search to the perfect mirrorless system, I happened to shoot also Panasonic. I didn’t love it as much as Olympus (my first mirrorless love), but it was anyway a very nice and capable system.

And in fact, the whole MFT system is more capable than many might think. It is incredibly compact, it often has top notch AI features (the smaller the sensor makes AI easier), quite frankly it also has a more than decent image quality, a 4:3 aspect ratio that I personally really like and more Pros which we won’t touch on here.

I genuinely suffered to see Olympus go and from my heart I hoped that Panasonic will be able to keep the MFT system alive and flourishing.

This is why I was intrigued by the development announcement of the Panasonic GH6, hoping it would be a real beast and guarantee some success for the MFT system.

Now, FujiRumors is not the place to discuss the Panasonic GH6 specs (this is the place), but I have to mention two details announced by Panasonic about the upcoming GH6

  • Panasonic GH6 will shoot 6K
  • Panasonic GH6 will be priced around $2,500

After the GH6 pre-announcement, I had a talk with sources, and you bet we talked also about the Fujifilm X-H2.

They told me that the Fujifilm X-H2 will cost less than the Panasonic GH6, hence less than $2,500.

And as we already told you in the past, the Fujifilm X-H2 is supposed to be able to shoot also 8K DCI/UHD.

DPRTV: Fujifilm’s 5 Best Film Simulations

Share

Fujifilm film simulations are more than just cool names for camera profiles.

Film simulations are the art of the colors that Fujifilm cultivates since decades, so far that the guy, who developed the original Fujifilm film stock already 50 years ago, still works at Fujifilm and is now in charge of crafting the film simulations.

So, colors are a serious thing for Fujifilm and you can see what you can do with them over at our Fujifilm film simulation group.

Now DPRTV published a video, where they go over what they consider the 5 best Fujifilm film simulations.

  1. Monochrome: He prefers it over Acros.
  2. Provia: Standard camera mode. Good standard profile. Does not push things too far. Great skin tones.
  3. Classic Neg: Great for street photography. Distorts reality, but not in a gimmicky way. Great for street scenes, knocks shadows down and makes street scenes look very dramatic, takes away some color and gives a nice vintage look. Aged, rugged look.
  4. Velvia: great for landscapes. Gives contrast and vibrancy. Can add some punchy drama to colors that are faded and muted. Adds a bit of magenta to blue skies, which can be really pleasing in landscape photos. Not great for skin tones
  5. Nostalig Neg: available only on GFX100S and GFX100. Mimics that classic American film stock from the 70s (Kodachrome etc.). Lower contrast but still rich saturation, warm colors.

For Video:

  • Eterna: For video an almost perfect profile. Very easy to grade. When he shoots high contrast scenes, he shoots F-Log, but in post he will immediately put an Eterna LUT on the file. Jordan loves Eterna

Where I don’t agree, is when they say ASTIA is boring. In fact, it is actually one of my top favorite film simulation, because it gives me a great balance between pleasing skin tones and vivid, but not oversaturated colors. I use ASTIA almost always when I take landscape images with people in the frame. I find it gives me the best results, better than Velvia, which is not great for skin tones.
