Fuji announced a new camera today, the camera features a 26 MP stacked CMOS sensor. AF / AE tracking improved vastly due to the 2X faster image processor included inside. The camera has the ability to shoot 40 frames per second with full-time AI AF support. The 40fps and a buffer that allows up to 184 JPEG or 175 Raw files at this fastest rate, and over 1000 JPEGs or 400 Raw images at 15fps using its mechanical shutter.
The camera has the ability to Capture 6K video with the help of a new 26Mp Sensor and a new 2X image processor. The X-H2S can capture DCI or UHD 4Kat up to 60p using the entire width of its sensor to give footage sampled from 6.2K width. It can also shoot 3:2 6.2K footage using its entire sensor area or 4K at up to 120p from a 1.29x cropped area. Footage can be recorded in a choice of 8-bit H.264, 10-bit H.625 or ProRes 422HQ, 422 or 422 LT with the option of ProRes Proxy capture in parallel. 4K at up to 120p can be output over HDMI or a Raw stream for encoding as ProRes RAW or BRaw using external recorders. Means a perfect Cinema camera for Fuji Lovers.
An 18-120mm F4 power zoom lens has been launched alongside the camera, as has a 150-600mm F5.6-8.0 super-tele zoom.The Fujifilm X-H2S will be available from early July at a recommended price of $2499.
Fuji X-H2S Press Release
Fujifilm Introduces X-H2S Mirrorless Digital Camera
New flagship camera features enhanced still and video capabilities
Valhalla, N.Y., May 31, 2022 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation today announced the launch of its next flagship X Series mirrorless digital camera, FUJIFILM X-H2S (X- H2S). The most advanced X Series mirrorless camera yet, X-H2S includes advanced features for both still photography and video. It is also the first APS-C digital camera of its kind to feature Fujifilm’s 26.16MP X-TransTM CMOS 5 HS imaging sensor, a stacked, back-side illuminated imaging sensor with a signal reading speed up to four times faster than Fujifilm’s previous X-TransTM CMOS 4*1.
X-TransTM CMOS 5, combined with the newly minted X-Processor 5 (which doubles the camera’s processing power compared to X-Processor 4), greatly enhances overall image fidelity at lower ISOs and reduces noise at higher ISOs. Subject-detection AF, which maximizes the tracking speed and accuracy of moving subjects is now made possible through the incorporation of an AI processor.
For video, X-Processor 5 enables the recording of 10-bit 4:2:2 video in resolutions up to 6.2K/30P and frame rates as fast as 4K/120P and FHD/240p. Support for professional codecs, like Apple ProRes HQ/ Pro Res 422/ Pro Res LT, provide incredible flexibility within post-production workflows, while also minimizing power consumption, thereby extending the camera’s maximum video recording time up to 240 minutes.
“The universal reaction to X-H2S has been, ‘This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for!’ The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response reinforces my belief that X-H2S will be the versatile, hybrid digital camera that can meet the diverse needs of photographers and motion production professionals,” said Victor Ha, vice president, Electronic Imaging and Optical Devices Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “It’s fun to see so much enthusiasm for this camera, especially since the features it has aren’t normally found at a price point of only $2499.95.”
With these sensor and processor updates, X-H2S achieves substantial performance improvement over other digital camera models on the market, including:
Major boost to burst mode capability: X-H2S can apply AF / AE tracking in blackout-free continuous shooting conditions of up to 40 frames per second*2, and can create over 1,000 frames continuously with the high-speed burst shooting mode set to 30 frames per second (JPEG) or 20 frames per second (RAW)*3
Dramatically evolved autofocus (AF) performance: X-H2S’s high number of AF calculations performed per second improves overall AF accuracy and facilitates subject-detection AF. Developed with Deep Learning technology, subject-detection AF implements an advanced prediction algorithm to enhance the performance of Zone AF, by refining the camera’s ability to track moving subjects in low-contrast environments. Subject detection and tracking has also been expanded from the human face and eyes to now include animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes and trains. X-H2S keeps targeted subjects consistently in focus, allowing users to concentrate on framing and critical image-making opportunities.
Exceptional video performance: X-H2S digital camera supports internal recording of 4:2:2, 10-bit Apple ProRes HQ/ ProRes 422/ ProRes LT and ProRes 422 Proxy at resolutions of up to 6.2K/30P and 4:2:2, 10-bit h.265video in frame rates as fast as 4K/120P and FHD/ 240p. The sensor’s readout speed of 1/180 seconds when recording video further assists in minimizing rolling shutter effects on moving subjects, or when the camera itself is moving. A heat-dissipating design brings the 4K/60P continuous video recording time to approximately 240 minutes, while the optional FAN-001 cooling fan accessory assists with maintaining similar levels of performance in high-temperature conditions.
Significant flexibility for external recording: X-H2S is the first X Series digital camera to contain F-Log2, which provides a dynamic range of up to 14+ stops, allowing for more creative possibilities both in production and post-productionworkflows.
Additional Product Features:
Best subject tracking in X Series history
X-H2S controls phase-detection pixels independently from image display when in burst mode. This triples the number of calculations in phase detection from the acclaimed FUJIFILM X-T4 and enables high-speed focusing even during high-speed continuous shooting.
X-H2S’s electronic viewfinder uses a high-resolution, 5.76-million-dot panel with a magnification of 0.8x. With a frame rate of approximately 120fps, the smooth viewfinder offers stellar visibility as a result of strong suppression of parallax and distortion (which commonly occurs when an eye position becomes displaced while using the viewfinder), thereby enabling accurate subject tracking.
Thoughtful design to enhance users’ content creation experience
The camera features an all-new five-axis, in-body image stabilization mechanism, which offers up to 7.0-stops of image stabilization*4. Users can comfortably choose to operate the camera handheld in active environments (e.g., sports) or in low-light conditions (e.g., nightscape).
X-H2S incorporates the popular design features of Fujifilm’s previous X-H1 model, such as a large grip that works well with large lenses, an LCD display on the top panel for users to check settings at any time, and a highly-robust body that withstands heavy professional use. Many additional improvements have also been included in the design and construction of X-H2S:
The shutter button’s overall feel has been adjusted to improve its operability when it is half-pressed. This allows users to release the shutter exactly when intended.
A standalone video recording button has been added to make the experience of recording video with the 1.62-million-dot, vari-angle LCD monitor a seamless experience.
From the fit and finish of the buttons and materials used in the construction of X-H2S to being able to map specific functions to the AF ON button, image-makers will find the experience of using X-H2S intuitive and familiar. Shutter durability has been optimized, withstanding 500,000 actuations during quality and performance testing.
The camera features dual memory card slots supporting one CFexpressTM Type B and one SD card*5. Users can draw out the full potential of X-H2S’s fast, continuous image-making and video performance with the high-speed data processing performance of CFexpressTM Type B memory cards.
X-H2S Accessories
Several new accessories are also being introduced to complement the launch of X- H2S. These optional accessories include:
Vertical battery grip (VG-XH)
Dust- and moisture–resistant and is designed to operate at temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Celsius). It fits two FUJIFILM NP-W235 high-capacity batteries.
The grip’s button layout is designed to provide equal operability whether holding the camera vertically or horizontally.
File transmitter (FT-XH)
Features wired LAN connectivity and high-speed wireless communications capability, essential for in-studio tethered content creation or for creating sports/media content. It can also be used as a vertical grip using two FUJIFILM NP-W325 high-capacity batteries.
It can be combined with X-H2S to support the following communication specifications:
FTP transfer by wired LAN / wireless LAN / USB Smartphone tethering
Tethered shooting by wired LAN / wireless LAN
Remote recording function by wired LAN / wireless LAN; capable of controlling up to four X-H2S cameras from a browser at the same time

Canon R10 is a recently announced Hybrid camera. And Sony ZV–E10 is a dedicated V-logging interchangeable Lance camera. So which one of these is more suitable for photography and which one is more recommended for videography and cinematography?
Let’s discuss some basics: The Canon R10 and the Sony’s ZV E10 camera uses conventional CMOS sensors, none of these cameras are equipped with a BSI or a stacked CMOS sensor. At the same time, the resolution of both the cameras is exactly the same.
Updated Image Sensor in Canon R10
Canon has updated the microlens structure of their 24.2 mp APS-C CMOS sensor, so we may expect a little bit more sharpness from the canon R10 camera. All though we have to wait for studio test results to confirm this feature.
Now in photography not only image quality, but The autofocusing system is also a very important or integral part of the entire process

Autofocusing System
We know that both Canon and Sony make the world’s best autofocusing systems. But this time Canon has upscaled the dual pixel CMOS autofocusing system even in the mid-range camera. Now we are getting the 2nd generation of dual pixel CMOS autofocusing system in Canon R10. camera. And dedicated tracking modes to track animals, vehicles which include moving cars motorbikes, etc., as well as an artificially intelligent AF force to track any 3D moving subject.

Canon R10 features 651 Autofocusing zones in the sensor and is fabricated with 3975 AF points. Sony Hybrid AF points and limited to 451 as well as contrast-detect AF points. So, if we compare both then Canon R10 does leads in core specs of the AF system. Although we have to also consider the Sony ZV-E10 camera also features a dedicated vlogging mode which is more usable to vloggers.
Burst mode – Canon RF features an electronic and mechanical shutter, the Max shooting speed is 23 Frames per second, up to 70 Frames (JPEG) / 21 Frames (Raw). And with a mechanical shutter, you are able to capture 15fps per second at 24.2 MP for up to 460 Frames (JPEG) / 29 Frames (Raw). Sony ZV-E10’s continuous shooting speed is limited to Up to 11 fps at 24.2 MP for up to 116 Frames (JPEG) / 46 Frames (Raw).

Video Capture
Canon R10 now captures oversampled 6k, and the camera also has the ability to capture 10BIT 4:2: videos in HDRPQ mode (output under MP4 wrapper), but at the same time, we have to admit the fact that no CLog is available in the camera… So now you can record high-quality 4k oversampled 10bit videos @ 24 and 30fps from the Canon R10 Camera. There is also an option to capture 4K 60p videos but at the same time, the video is excessively cropped so not so usable. Canon revoked the 30min time limit on the Canon R10 camera, for super slo-mo videos you also have an option to record Full HD Videos up to 120 FPS (With DPAF and no crop).
Sony ZV-E10 camera – Very suable camera at its price range, it does adore all bell and whistles that Camera perfect vlogging camera should have. But missing the 10-bit video recording mode like the Canon R10 camera. Sony ZV-E10 also does oversample and records videos up to 4k 60fps. We also have dedicated VLogging AF modes, like Product priority AF and beauty filters too.

For Still Shooters – If ur a photographer then yes Canon R10 features a perfect handgrip, an EVF. And also you get HDRPQ (HEIF) format for stills. And the ability to capture faster frames up to 23 fps and with a mechanical shutter up to 15 fps. And advance 2nd gen DPAF system with different modes and a larger AF group for perfect 3d subject tracking. I am not comparing image quality here since both of these cameras carry conventional CMOS sensors, so more or less both of them will produce similar output.
Recommendation – Camera Wise – Canon R10 Seems to be a perfect choice for photographers.
Best Video Camera The ability to record 10bit video makes Canon R10 a perfect camera for Videographers, beginner cinematographers, and Vloggers. Although the 10bit is limited to MP4 wrapper, yes you will get more details and latitude in your files compared to an 8bit file from ZV-E10. Although the Sony ZV-E10 does offer S-log profiles even those that are limited to 8-bit format. And yes an option to record in ALL-I Intra format whereas the Canon R10 recording formats in 4K are limited to IPB and IPB Light.
If Sony ZV-E10 was able to give us 10bit in any way, I would here definitely recommend the ZV-E10 camera for Video work. but since the camera is limited to 8bit only, So R10 is able to make a perfect space here with its HDRPQ 10-bit mode. Decide yourself, I would recommend you to get a 10bit camera since 8-bit videos can display over 16.7 million colors. When you switch to a 10-bit video, you can use more than 1 billion colors for your footage.
But if we consider the LENS ECOSYSTEM – We know that the Canon Lens mount is still closed to third-party lens makers, and at the same time, we have multiple options for Sony since they have publicly opened their E-Mount in 2018.
In Canon, if you already own Canon DSLR Lenses, then for sure you should only buy the Canon R10 Camera.
Final Verdict – If the available set of lenses and Price of Canon R10 fits to your budget and requirements for with Canon R10 Camera then, otherwise ZV-E10 is a decent option to have if available.
Drones are just an extension tool for photography/videography, we can’t keep aside them when we are talking about photography or video. Generally, I keep eye on Drones camera tech development news and I always prefer not to post here all the time since this vlog is dedicated to compact & interchange Cameras and Lenses only.
But, what the heck.. a drone is capable to record a 10bit video and it’s being reviewed by my all-time fav Philp Bloom. So, let’s discuss the news we have.
DJI MINI 3 PRO 10 BIT Video
DJI added 10bit recording capability in DJI Mini 3 PRO by a simple firmware update, well I am covering camera news for the past 15 years but at the same time, I have never heard anything like adding a 10bit video recording option in any camera with a firmware update.
10 BIT vs 8 BIT VIDEO
For reference, 8-bit video recording distinguishes between 1.67 million different colors, whereas 10-bit video recording allows you to work with up to 1.07 billion color variations.
Notes:
The DJI RC-N1 remote controller can also be used with DJI Mini 2, Mavic Air 2, DJI Air 2S and DJI Mavic 3 (requires DJI Fly v.1.6.1 or later).
What others said when they checked 10bit option after the update
I thought of some mistake by DJI in choosing Codec levels (“Main10” instead of simply “Main”) and therefore 8 Bit footage in a 10 Bit container, but I checked the footage and from what I’ve seen the footage seems to be in fact 10 Bit in D-Cinelike.
According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, Viltrox is expected to release 23mm, 35mm, and 50mm Lenses in Q4 of 2022 if everything goes on schedule. Not only that, but we will also have the RF-S APS-C Mirrorless lenses the 33mm, 23mm, and 56mm F1.4 next year.
Viltrox already has an 85mm F1.8 Lens for Canon RF Mount
I get many requests from my subscribers and readers to suggest the best wedding photography camera and lenses for 2023. so in this article, you will get all the essential details related to camera gears and lenses required for wedding photography.
One of the most important parts of wedding photography or cinematography is the skill of the photographer. And the second most importantly the gear you have. So, in the article, we will discuss the best possible wedding photography gear you can buy with the budget you have. This is a custom-tailored wedding photography guide made for every budget.
SELECTING Lenses for Wedding Photography
For wedding photography, we generally recommend two lenses (at least you should have these two lenses) and the lenses are, the coverage lens and the portrait lens.
Coverage Lens
The coverage lens is specifically recommended for the wedding event when you cover the ring ceremony, group photo shoot, and other important rituals performed during that day.
Portrait Lens
For Pre-wedding shoot and boudoir photography, you need a portrait prime lens. So in this article, we are recommending you two basic essential lenses for every camera that falls in your budget range.
So let’s talk about the best wedding photography camera of 2023 let’s begin with the list. If you looking for a super budget wedding Photography guide and no matter what you get in your hand it should be a perfect system.
We are keeping DSLR recommendations
As usually you know the DSLRs are outdated and the DSLR makers are cannibalizing their DSLRs. The research and development on DSLR and their lenses also stopped so it’s worthless to recommend any DSLR camera for wedding photographers in the year 2023. in this article, we will be keeping out the DSLR cameras and that’s essential too.
1. Best Nikon Camera and Lens for Wedding Photo and Video
Nikon Z6 Mark II is the best camera for Wedding Photography and Video in 2023. If you are a Nikon shooter, we highly recommend that you get associated with Nikon Z6 Mark II in 2023.

Nikon Z6 Mark II Camera with 28-75mm F2.8 LensB&H Store
Optional – More affordable package – Nikon Z6 Mark II with 24-70mm F4 at Amazon.com
The best wedding photography camera for the year 2023 is Nikon Z6 Mark II. Nikon Z6 Mark II camera is a very reasonable price camera, packed with amazing core specs. In that price range, no other camera maker offers such core specifications at such a price point.
Yeah, there was a time when we were recommending the Sony a73 camera to our users, but after the announcement of the Z6 mark 2 camera, everything changed. The Camera arrives with the enhanced core specification compared to the a73 so after that, we have started recommending the Z6 mark 2 camera.
Whether you are coming from Nikon D7500 or D750 this is a surprise upgrade for you. Nikon Z6II kit with the wonderful 24-70 f/4 S lens is a perfect combo for a wedding photographer. The IBIS in the Z6II is the best I ever used, I can handhold all the way down to 1/5th of a second with a 50mm lens! I don’t know what else to say about it, it’s an awesome camera and it works exactly the way it should. Easy to handle for my large hands and easier to walk around with.

2. Best Sony Camera and Lens for Wedding Photo and Video
Sony A7 IV is the best Sony Camera for wedding photography and video. The Sony A7 IV features an amazing 33 MP resolution and allows you to capture 10-bit 4k Oversampled videos. If you are interested in Sony cameras then we highly recommend you get the Sony A7 IV camera for wedding photography and video purpose.
Sony A7 IV with Tamron 28-75 G2 Lens and a portrait lens
Sony A7 IV is an excellent camera for wedding photographers when paired with Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Lens. The 28-75mm F2.8 acts as an event coverage lens as well as a candid photography lens. Even if you are a Canon user feel free to migrate since now you guys have S-Cinetone support that will generate perfect skin tones while shooting portraits or recording a video.
The problem with Sony A74 is the overheating issues. if you live in the Asian region or somewhere near the equator and the summer season temperature ranges somewhere around 35° to 40 degrees centigrade, then recording videos with an A74 camera will be not so easy. You will regularly get heat warnings and auto shut-down after a max of 25-30min of recording 4k videos. even after increasing its threshold value. For wedding Cinematographers, those who are near the equator or the summer temperature of your region ranges above 35 degrees and above you should have another option for cinematography or videography like we have the Sony A7C camera or the Sony A7S III.
Sony A7IV after regular use of my Canon DSLRs. The A7IV is portable, lightweight and versatile, allowing me to move from taking stunning photos to recording video content for my clients which range from fashion to hospitality. Moving from photo to video shooting is smooth and does not break my workflow. I get to focus on capturing the moments. The kit is fantastic as-is, but I also purchased a 50mm 1.8 lens which I’ve been accustomed to shooting with. All in all, I would highly recommend the purchase if you’re in the market for a mirrorless camera.
What Nikon users say About Sony A7 IV
Coming from Nikon after 18 years it’s been a hard learning curve but worth every penny! Yes, the kit lens people say is a joke but it is what it is.I have made it work for studio work and am happy. Not a prime but it works. The camera is something else! Studio work, outdoors, birds, and sports it has done what I want and lots better. I am coming from a long line of Nikon cameras with the latest being the d750 and d850.

Sony A7C is the best budget full-frame Mirrorless camera of 2023 from Sony. You can use the camera for wedding photography and cinematography purpose. We highly recommend you to have this camera for prolonged video recording.
The Sony A7C is a budget full-frame cinema camera with Fastest Autofocus in its class. The Sony A7C is an incredible camera that outperformed my expectations, and highly recommended those who are into video. It has everything that a professional wedding photographer requires from a full-frame camera, you can shoot incredible still shots as well as you can also capture videos without any overheating issues.
The low light performance is outstanding, the overall image quality is superb, and the ergonomics of the camera work well, although you have slightly less physical control than the Sony A7 III. It feels like it’s a well-made/sturdy camera body but it’s not quite as large as other full-frame cameras that I’ve tried (small and compact). I recommend this camera to photographers or videographers of any skill level looking for a full-frame camera.

4. Best Wedding Fullframe Camera from Canon
The best Canon camera for wedding photographers is Canon R5. The other budget solution is Canon R6 if you want to have a more affordable camera. We have also selected the best budget lenses for Canon R5 Camera for wedding photographers.
The Canon R5’s newly developed 45 Megapixel sensor is just amazing, I am not able to believe the number of details visible in the captured image. One of the most noticeable things is its low-light performance, despite having a conventional CMOS sensor the camera produces amazingly well low-light images with shadow details, its performance matches with competitors’ BSI CMOS sensor-based cameras.
Canon R5 features Canon’s advanced hybrid artificial intelligent autofocusing system, which covers approximately 99% area of the frame, and object tracking, face tracking, and eyes tracking are just amazing.
I’ve had the R5 only a couple of weeks now, but really love it. The level of detail we get from this camera and the autofocus methods including eye-tracking is amazing.

Sony ZV-E10 camera is one of the best and class-leading cameras, if we compare the specification against its competitors in the same price range, You will find Sony ZV–E10 is way ahead of others.
This camera is very similar to my a6400 for hundreds less. Same battery. Great vlogging camera at this price point. This camera has great features including 4k video and eye-tracking for clarity. The kit lens works better than I expected for videos.
The built-in mic is pretty good if you don’t want to carry around an external mic. I’d recommend purchasing the tripod with remote control. It works great on this camera and has cool features as well.
I’d recommend buying 2 extra batteries and an external battery charger. Out of the box you have to plug the entire camera into the outlet for the battery to charge. Happy vlogging everyone!

Nobody is paying attention to this little camera because it does not have the pro specs, it’s no dual card slot, it’s only 20.9 MP, it’s a huge mount with a small sensor, full-frame is better than APS-C, the lens selections are not good, blah…blah..blah… Everyone is missing out on the intention Nikon has on this camera and that is the FUN factor in photography. I have used Nikon D7100, D810, D850, D500, and the Z7. All of them are really great cameras. Well constructed, weather-sealed, rugged, and most of all aimed for professional use. I also have a bunch of Nikon lenses that you can say are also pro-grade. When Nikon first announced this camera I was not really thrilled like the way I was when they debuted the D850 and Z6/7. And like everyone before investing on new equipment I do research first before committing. When it became available for pre-order I went ahead and took the dive of getting one. Now that I tried it I was amazed at how compact this camera is. It literally a pocketable camera like its point and shoot cousins. The capabilities in stills and video is on par with my D500 except of the size, additional features, and weight. I take this camera with me most of the time than my other ones. It’s fun to shoot it. IMO it’s a better alternative than using my smartphone for taking photos at least the shape is familiar for me with that DSLR/Mirrorless feeling in your hand. The size makes good use for candid and street photography because it’s less noticeable and discrete. It’s a well-rounded camera for taking almost any kind of photography. The 20.9MP is just within the sweet spot for resolution good enough for a 13 x 19 size printout. I do not pixel peep or even scrutinize the resolution like Youtuber reviewers do because at the end of the day what matters most it your overall satisfaction with the product since you are the user.
If You are looking for a super budget wedding package then you should go with the Nikon Z50 camera, the camera features a perfect 20M low-light Sensor for perfect output during wedding sessions.
